006 Apprentice
Wang Xiaoliu took Sun Heng to the front door of the cottage, arranged for Sun Heng to stand in front of the door, knocked on the door and entered the room.
In front of the door, there were six children, each with his eyebrows down and his eyes standing motionless.
At the age of eight or nine, when he was always lively and carefree in his previous life, he looked very mature in his heart and nature.
Sun Heng glanced at the people, and saw that they had no intention of saying hello, so he imitated them and stood up like a wood.
The people in the house have not opened the door, maybe they are taking the opportunity to test them. Once they move around, they may lose the opportunity.
I don’t know how long it took, but with a 'creaking' sound, the door in front of me was finally pushed open from inside.
The first person who came out was thin, had a clear face, his eyes were a little sunken, and his eyes were turned with a faint coldness.
This person's clothes are rare smooth silk, which is said to be of great value. His hands are slender and without a little calluse. He is obviously a pampered person.
Behind him, there were three people, Wang Xiaoliu was one of them, all of whom were bent and followed the other party honestly. They should be introduced like him.
"Master Wu is not here today. This is Master Ye, who is responsible for selecting apprentices. You have seen it quickly!"
Wang Xiaoliu gave Sun Heng a wink, his tone was a little impatient.
This Master Ye is not a good person to talk to. When Master Wu was there yesterday, the dazed black girl could be recruited. If this person was replaced, it would definitely not work!
There are so many people today, so this kid Sun Heng is afraid he can't be an apprentice in the pharmacy shop.
"Hello Master Ye!"
Several children hurriedly bowed and spoke, and many of them had their faces changed quietly.
It seems that they all know that Master Ye is very difficult to talk to.
"Um."
Master Ye nodded in a muffled voice, his eyes coldly glanced at the few people: "Among you all literate?"
Sun Heng smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Sure enough, no matter where you go, knowledge is an irreplaceable thing.
And he, a college student who graduated from more than ten years of education, is illiterate here!
"I……"
A timid voice rang beside him, and a little boy with beautiful eyebrows raised his right hand and whispered: "I know how to read."
Surprise flashed in Sun Heng's eyes, he was actually literate!
Wang Xiaoliu was also shocked. He had worked in a restaurant for more than ten years and could only write a few dishes, which was far from being able to read the text.
Among the children who came today, there were actually literate people!
"You know how to read?"
It was obvious that Master Ye just asked casually, but he didn't expect that someone would really raise his hand. He was also a little surprised for a moment: "How many words do you know?"
"I have learned a thousand-character essay, and I have learned a hundred basic articles, and I know most of them."
The little boy lowered his head, looking a little shy: "It's just..., it's just that it's not good to write."
"Enough, enough!"
Master Ye laughed loudly, and his cold face was like a flower blooming. He was obviously very satisfied with it, and even his voice became much gentler: "What's your name?"
"Shi Shaoyou."
The little boy raised his head and repeated again: "My name is Shi Shaoyou."
"Shi Shaoyou!"
Master Ye nodded: "It turns out to be the name of a literate child."
He waved to Shi Shaoyou: "Come here, stand on my side."
"yes!"
Shi Shaoyou was delighted and hurriedly stood over. It seemed that the apprenticeship was set.
The number of apprentices is limited. If one is set, only one is missing. No one is happy for Shi Shaoyou, and the others' faces are not very good-looking.
"You guys!"
Master Ye looked at the other children, his eyes became cold again, and he reached out to a corner of the courtyard and pointed: "Go, lift up a bundle of medicinal materials. If you can take two steps, stay!"
hiss……
Someone took a breath.
But what Master Ye pointed to was bundles of medicinal materials like tree roots. An adult man could not even hug him. Roughly estimated, the weight was probably less than a hundred kilograms!
The eight or nine-year-old child is not yet tall, and he is thin and thin. It is already good to be able to carry a hundred kilograms of things off the ground. He has to move it two steps, and I am afraid it is a boy who eats meat every day to exercise.
Moreover, lifting such things is different from picking up a person, and it is even more difficult!
It seems that Master Ye didn't plan to ask them at all, so he just came up with a problem.
Sun Heng pursed his lips and looked at the other children. Their faces were pale and their eyes were full of depression.
"Let's go!"
One of Wang Xiaoliu shook his head, walked over and grabbed a child, and bowed to Master Ye: "Master Ye, this child is too weak, it seems that he does not have this blessing, so let's go first."
Even though he knew that the other party was trying to make things difficult for him, he still did not dare to complain and even had to pay a smile.
"Yeah, let's go!"
Master Ye didn't have any good expressions, so he waved his hand violently: "You guys, try it if you want to. If you don't work, get out quickly."
"I want to give it a try."
Without waiting for others to answer, Sun Heng took the lead and arched his body towards Master Ye, and walked towards the pile of medicinal materials.
He is ten years old this year, and his children change every year. He has taken a lot of advantage in terms of strength.
This test is a dead end for others, but for him, it is exactly the opposite!
Wang Xiaoliu opened his mouth, but he didn't stop him. Anyway, things have come to this point, so just give it a try.
However, no one has hope for Sun Heng.
Sun Heng ignored the eyes of others, came to the pile of medicinal materials, picked a bundle of which looked less, inserted his hands into the medicinal materials, and held several of them tightly.
"rise!"
With a muffled groan, his body suddenly tensed, his forehead was bulging high, and his face was flushed.
The weight of the medicinal materials exceeded his estimate, and this thing was much heavier than he thought!
This kind of thing that is like a tree root is extremely hard to touch, just like a bundle of iron rods, and naturally the weight is definitely not small.
However, it is still within his acceptance!
As his eyes turned red, Sun Heng's body began to get hot and hot. Under the influence of certain substances in his brain, his muscles and bones began to squeeze his potential desperately.
"Crack...Crack..."
The control of the body allowed Sun Heng to feel that his muscles and bones had begun to make subtle sounds.
With a little blurred sense of heat all over his body, Sun Heng raised his arm and took a bundle of medicinal materials. He suddenly walked a few steps, his legs became weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Hu…hu…”
He knelt on the ground and gasped. The force of a short moment actually made him sweat, raising potential, and making his meaning a little blurred.
This should be his current limit.
Because of the subtle control of the body, Sun Heng can directly explode beyond the normal physical strength based on his will alone.
But after each outbreak, he will be weak for a long time.
When he recovered, a child was fighting desperately with a bundle of medicinal herbs.
Obviously, Sun Heng's success gave them some hope.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard he exerted, he was so tired that he was panting, but the medicinal herbs were as if they had been rooted and did not move at all.
After a while, he used up his strength and had to give up. He squatted aside and sobbed quietly, and finally showed some childishness, which made people feel a little pitiful.
Under the demonstration of the two, several other children came forward to try it, but it was obvious that no one except Sun Heng could pass the test.
…………
"The apprentices in the pharmacy shop are divided into two types: internal and external apprentices. Internal apprentices identify the properties of medicines, understand the pharmacology, are responsible for handling medicinal materials, grabbing drugs for guests, and need to read."
"The foreign apprentice recognizes medicine, sorts, moves, and helps Master Wang acquires and collects herbs. The requirements are not high, and you can do it normally. "
In the backyard, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was taking Sun Heng and Shi Shaoyou to the back, introducing the situation of the apprenticeship in the pharmacy shop as he walked.
Judging from his introduction, the internal apprenticeship is obviously much better than the foreign apprentice. To put it nicely, the apprentice is the apprentice, but to be ugly, the person is responsible for running errands!
Sun Heng looked at Shi Shaoyou who was listening carefully beside him. This child would definitely be assigned to the internal affairs apprentice, and he was afraid he would be in trouble.
"Whether it is an apprentice in the house or an apprentice in the house, you need to work as a handyman for three years to test your character."
The young man continued to speak: "Three years later, if the internal apprentice is satisfied with the master, he will officially start teaching medical skills. After that, the internal apprentice will follow the master for five years and study, while the external apprentice will start to receive wages and can support his family."
Sure enough, the so-called foreign apprentice cannot learn medical skills at all!
"Also, during this period, you need to obey the master's arrangements in everything, beating or scolding, and you must not have any complaints. In advance, if the master beats his disciples to death, it is not necessary to be responsible!"
He stopped and pointed at Shi Shaoyou: "You will be an apprentice in the housekeeping from now on."
