Chapter 7 Everyone is shocked, apprentice pharmacist!
Among the many apprentices, Lu Changsheng was unremarkable.
Many apprentices didn't even know Lu Changsheng, and didn't know his name.
This time they were really surprised to see that Lu Changsheng was actually going to assess the pharmacist apprentice.
How long is this?
With all their efforts and calculations, they have only been recruited into the Miaoshou Garden for about five months.
In five months, they couldn't even recognize the characters, let alone become pharmacist apprentices.
You must know that an apprentice pharmacist has to memorize at least the names, efficacy, growth environment, etc. of hundreds of medicinal materials, all of which need to be learned from books.
I don't know words, how to learn?
Even Guanshi Zhang frowned, and asked with some doubts: "Are you sure you want to apply for the pharmacist apprentice examination?"
"Sure."
"Then how sure are you?"
Lu Changsheng thought about it, he didn't dare to speak too much, so he could only say conservatively: "Probably 70% to 80%."
Guard Zhang showed a look of surprise on his face.
70% to 80% certainty, in fact, this is quite sure to become a pharmacist apprentice.
Lu Changsheng is still young, and he is sure to become a pharmacist apprentice in just five months. What a child prodigy!
It is very possible to become a pharmacist or even a doctor in the future!
In Miaoshouyuan, the doctors sitting in the hall for consultation are of high status, even the guards of the guards are not as good as a doctor in Miaoshouyuan.
Thinking of this, Guanshi Zhang looked solemn, nodded and said: "I agree, you can go."
Paused, Zhang Guanshi said again: "Forget it, you are a handyman apprentice, and it would be troublesome to go by yourself. I will take you there myself."
Boss Zhang is obviously making friends with Lu Changsheng.
Miaoshouyuan's future doctor has a bright future, and Zhang Guanshi deserves to befriend him.
"Then Lao Zhang will be in charge."
Lu Changsheng cupped his hands in salute.
Then he followed Guanshi Zhang and left the square.
Steward Zhang left, but the apprentices were blown up.
"Are you really going to examine the pharmacist apprentice?"
"I usually see Lu Changsheng holding those medicinal books and reading them, and I think they are just pretending, but I didn't expect to understand them?"
"I can't even read all the words, so Lu Changsheng can memorize the medicinal materials?"
"Master Mo likes Lu Changsheng very much, and often teaches Lu Changsheng privately."
"Sigh, I didn't expect that Lu Changsheng had no talent in martial arts, but he was so talented in literature. Once he becomes an apprentice pharmacist, he will be paid a salary, and his status will be greatly improved. He is no longer the same as us..."
"No, I have to work hard to read and write, and strive to become a pharmacist apprentice."
Apprentices talked a lot, with envy and admiration, but more motivation.
With Lu Changsheng as a "role model", more apprentices among the remaining apprentices will definitely work hard to become pharmacist apprentices as soon as possible.
Lu Changsheng ignored the apprentices' thoughts.
He followed Guanshi Zhang and came to the medicinal material warehouse in Miaoshou Garden.
This is where the entire Miaoshou Garden processes medicinal materials.
There are many pharmacists instructing apprentices to dry and dry the medicinal materials.
"Old Man."
Guard Zhang saluted an old man with white beard and hair.
Old Wen raised his head and glanced at Guanshi Zhang, then asked, "What is Guanshi Zhang doing here?"
"Old Wen, this is a handyman apprentice who has just been here for five months. He is here to apply for the pharmacist apprentice assessment. Lao Wen is old."
Guan Zhang made it clear.
"Um?"
"A handyman apprentice who has only been here for five months, didn't he know how to read before? He actually came to apply for the pharmacist apprentice examination."
A strange color flashed in Old Wen's muddy eyes.
He stared at Lu Changsheng and said, "What's your name?"
"Lu Changsheng."
"The name is not bad. How many kinds of medicinal materials do you know?"
"Five hundred and eighty-three medicinal materials."
"There are more than 3,600 kinds of medicinal materials in the Medicine Classics, and you can memorize more than 500, which indeed meets the standards for a pharmacist's apprentice. However, the old man has to test you."
Old Wen got up and took Lu Changsheng to the medicinal material warehouse in the backyard.
There are medicinal herbs all over the floor.
Wen Lao pointed to several medicinal materials and asked: "Tell me what are these three medicinal materials? What are their main functions?"
Lu Changsheng replied directly: "Bupleurum, the smell is bitter, flat, and non-toxic. It is mainly used to treat gas stagnation in the stomach and intestines of trusted subordinates, and accumulation of food and drink. Cold and heat evil, push the old to bring about the new, take it for a long time to lighten the body and improve eyesight."
"Atractylodes macrocephala, invigorating the spleen, benefiting the stomach, drying dampness, neutralizing, and relieving miscarriage. Treat weak spleen and stomach qi, not thinking about eating, fatigue and lack of qi, bloating, diarrhea, phlegm retention, edema, jaundice, dampness, dysuria, Dizziness, spontaneous sweating, uneasy fetal gas."
"Fennel, pungent in taste, warm in nature. It enters the kidney and stomach meridian. It is mainly used to treat coldness in the middle burner, nausea and vomiting, stagnation of spleen and stomach qi..."
Lu Changsheng spoke very carefully. He recited all the words recorded in the medicine scriptures without missing anything.
Wen Lao next to him also nodded repeatedly.
Wen Lao has been examining for nearly an hour, and Lu Changsheng has almost identified dozens of medicinal materials.
There are only a few medicinal materials, and he hasn't read them in the Medicine Classics, so he didn't identify them.
However, looking at Elder Wen's appearance, he was quite satisfied.
At least, the pharmacist apprentice assessment should not be a problem.
"Very good! Being able to identify so many medicinal materials is not something that can be done by rote memorization. It means that you have really applied what you have learned."
"Director Zhang, you have brought a good seed to this old man."
"Lu Changsheng, from today onwards, you are an apprentice pharmacist."
Originally, ordinary apprentices become pharmacist apprentices, and will be arranged by Mr. Wen to study with a pharmacist.
But Wen Lao thought for a while, and then said: "Are you willing to follow me as an apprentice?"
"Yes, the boy is naturally willing, thank you, Mr. Wen."
Lu Changsheng's face showed a gleam of joy.
Judging from Guanshi Zhang's attitude just now, this Wen Lao's status must be unusual.
Being an apprentice beside Mr. Wen was something Lu Changsheng could only wish for.
"Lu Changsheng, it's your good fortune to be able to follow Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen is an old man from our Miaoshou Garden. He can identify more medicinal materials than those in the medicine scriptures."
"Follow Wen Lao to learn well, I hope that in the future you will not only become a pharmacist, but also become a doctor, and even a generation of famous doctors!"
Guard Zhang patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder, encouraged him, and then left.
Lu Changsheng followed Wen Lao and started the life of a pharmacist apprentice.
Apprentice pharmacists have a certain amount of free time and even rest days.
One day off every month.
And there is wages, the wages are three silver coins a month.
Although there is very little silver, Lu Changsheng doesn't care.
What he cares about is the rest time of that month.
With the rest time, he can go to Wo Niu Mountain to take out the silver.
Lu Changsheng was very patient.
He was not in a hurry, but waited for a month until the rest day, so he excused himself to go out.
Then I went to Wo Niu Mountain and found the cave.
The cave is full of dust, and there are no traces left by other people, which means that no one has visited this cave in the past few months.
Lu Changsheng took out the hidden gold and silver.
Lu Changsheng did not take those jewelry.
He only took gold and silver and silver bills.
Jewelry needs to be handled, and once it is handled, it may leave marks.
After all, these jewelry are all dirt from unknown sources.
Lu Changsheng took out the gold and silver and returned to the Miaoshou Garden smoothly.
He roughly counted, except for jewelry, there were not more than 800 taels, only about 500 taels left.
However, five hundred taels of silver is enough.
He only needs to do two things next.
One is to go to the martial arts hall to learn or simply buy some simple martial arts.
The second is to buy medicinal food to practice Dahe Zhuangxue Gong.
Lu Changsheng camouflaged himself a little, sticking a homemade beard under the nose, and made his face waxy yellow with herbs, making him look like a middle-aged man.
Afterwards, Lu Changsheng went straight out and went straight to the pharmacy.
