Seventy Little Heads

"Is this the master's house?" This is a real courtyard house. Although it looks big, it always feels too quiet and lonely.

"Yes, it has just been repaired. The master is a doctor with a serious establishment. He has to sit for a few days a month, which is unacceptable. But the general time is spent here. There are consultation rooms, drug dispensing rooms, etc. You will know later, you are also tired, wash your spirits first."

After the three of them thanked him, they took the time to deal with personal hygiene issues.Goudan is teaching Li Si how to use the bathroom facilities. From the outside, the building looks like an antique quadrangle.But there have been a lot of renovations inside, and the life inside can completely keep up with the modern rhythm.

Many people in the capital city live in old courtyard houses, often with several families crowded together, and life is not always convenient.But here is different, the place is big, and only Master Qin owns the real estate, so the owner has the final say on how to renovate it?

After the three of them cleaned up, they saw hot porridge, steamed buns and pickles on the table.

"Fill your stomach first."

"Brother Su, can you still cook?"

"Hmph, of course I will, but this is for buying." Su and Weng said to Goudan.

A person like Master Qin can afford to hire a nanny or something, but the master doesn't like other people coming in and out of his house. Usually, he comes to cook, but neither he nor the master has the talent for cooking.Generally speaking, if it is cooked, it is not very tasty.

Cooking by the master is like dispensing medicine, strict and strict.How much to put in what material, how much to put in what seasoning, when to put it in, strictly follow the recipe, and use a small scale, never one gram more or one gram less, even if it is so accurate, I don’t know why the food tastes so ordinary.In most cases, he was blinded when he came across words like a little salt and a little oil.

Siri snorted and drank the porridge, feeling much better.Then Su and Weng began to show them around, what kind of room is used here, and what is done there.Where you can't go, what things you can't touch, I will give you a general introduction.

Goudan pouted, this must be a strange old man.

Blame the old man and brother, hey, Wang Xuan's life will be difficult in the future, but Wang Xuan will not give up.Probably would still like to.

The layout of the house is very positive, and the whole building and garden are very harmonious and quiet, which is indeed very beautiful.However, the whole courtyard was filled with a medicinal fragrance, and the whole body seemed to be contaminated with that smell.

Li Si feels that he has no culture and can't speak, but now it seems that he has a lot to praise, but he just can't say it.No wonder the people at the foot of the imperial city are precious, this place is so beautiful, not only is it better than the landowners in the countryside before, even the gods in the temple don't live in such a beautiful place.

As a farmer who has wandered around a square inch all his life, he has no way to experience that kind of artistic conception of life.In my heart, having enough food and clothing is the greatest blessing, and I have no idea about the quality of life.

Wang Xuan is the most nervous here, he is about to see his master soon, Wang Xuan keeps asking Goudan if his hair is messed up, and if his clothes are wrinkled.Then Goudan took the trouble to boast and boast from his hair to his shoes.

"Come in." A voice came from inside.

Everyone straightened up right away.Originally, Li Si was an elder, and the juniors in the family would learn from him in the future, and now they lived in his house. According to the rules, they had to take the initiative to meet the owner.But this is not an ordinary situation. Doctor Qin has his own rhythm, and he doesn't know what kind of temper this person has.Everyone waited outside. They washed and changed their homely clothes before going in.

Li Si nervously carried the bamboo box, with an honest look, seeing that he was sitting there majestically, he immediately had nowhere to put his hands and feet.Stuttering and talking to people, I took a big box from Goudan, in which they prepared some hometown specialties.

"The chickens and ducks raised by the family, the cured meat made by ourselves, and the salted eggs are also pickled by ourselves. That, the children said to bring it to you to taste. It's all made by Wang Xuan himself. He, we all think it's good for dinner."

Doctor Qin also politely asked Su and Weng to take the box made of bamboo. He nodded to Li Si, "Just bring it for dinner in the future. The farmer keeps it well and clean."

"Yes, yes, the two boys love to eat, they are talented, they are raised."

Li Si saw that people didn't seem to think that things were worthless, and he felt a little more relaxed. He heard that people bought gifts that were very expensive in big shopping malls, and they were packed in beautiful boxes, which were very decent as gifts.But Wang Xuan and Goudan said that they hadn't seen anything in Kyoto?It would be too disingenuous if they are all the same as the things in the mall that anyone can buy, and the special expensive and impressive ones, the whole family can’t afford it, so why not use the output at home by yourself, as Gifts are not bad either.

Doctor Qin chatted dryly with Li Si, but he really didn't know what to talk about. Two people with different living levels rarely have common topics. He couldn't tell Li Si about his experience in practicing medicine. Li Si couldn't understand. this.Li Si also couldn't tell him what kind of crops in the field, what month to sow, when to thin the seedlings, and when to topdress.

He only briefly talked about the situation on the road, and basically stared at him.

Then Doctor Qin looked at the two children.When the two elders were chatting just now, Goudan and Wang Xuan were sitting next to each other, greeting each other without saying a word.Doctor Qin could see from his gray hair that he was still ruddy. He was tall and thin, neither of them could guess his age.The face is very serious, and there are faint nasolabial folds.The hair is completely white, without a trace of impurity, so it is reasonable to say that he is not young.But there are not many wrinkles and age spots on the face, and the two can't tell the difference for a while, because in the village, the age of the old man is easy to guess.

From the beginning to the present, they probably understand that this is a well-behaved old man, so the two of them are very obedient when their parents talk.Even Su and Weng looked at the two of them, Wang Xuan was fine, he was his future junior, and he mainly looked at dogs.

It turned out that this kid also knew how to wink, he thought that everyone he saw looked like a bandit.Su and Weng pouted.

Doctor Qin saw the two well-behaved children, and they stood up immediately, as if you always told you to say it.

Looking at the two tall men, they both nodded in satisfaction.

"You are Wang Xuan, you are a bitch. The old man is right?" Doctor Qin smiled.

Looking at each other, nodding quickly, Goudan said, "You can tell at a glance, if Wang Xuan didn't reveal it secretly in advance, then you are this." He looked narrow and pointed his thumb.Doctor Qin rarely laughed.

"You don't need to guess, the old man will know who is my apprentice. This is the tacit understanding between master and apprentice. And you, it seems that you can't write such elegant and elegant characters. There is a certain reason for your characters to be like a person." Doctor Qin said The most important thing is temperament. People who know how to read can see the deep level, and those who don't know how to read only look at the skin.Of course, Goudan doesn't look like the kind of child who can calm down and study herbal medicine even if he looks at the skin.

Then everyone was also hahaha, and the atmosphere suddenly opened up.

"It is said that when you are a doctor, you have to look and hear and ask everything. You are always sharp-eyed."

Su and Weng also laughed, but they already labeled Goudan as a sycophant in their hearts. He has been with the master for several years, and the two of them have always spoken in a strict manner. He never dared to make mistakes or joke with the master.I didn't expect that this kid would be able to make the master amused with three or two strokes.Only then did Su and Weng know that the master can laugh too?

This is no ordinary sycophant.

It is said that three-point flattery and seven-point sincerity can move people the most, and the dog is not talking nonsense. He really admires this old man. He has seen the entire configuration of the courtyard house, and now he has seen him again. See him and his family. The father who stuttered didn't look down on him as a farmer who spoke a lot of dialect, and he could tell whether he was pretending to be a dog or not.

Goudan knew that he was worthy of the name, not only good medical skills, but also first-class mentality.The animal-like intuition that has been particularly keen since he was a child and can see the key points told him that the old man in front of him looked serious on the outside but was very soft on the inside.

All in all, he dared to tentatively say a joke that was not too big or too small.

Doctor Qin talked to Wang Xuan after laughing: "I heard from your uncle that you cook very well?"

"It's okay to cook home-cooked food. My uncle is usually busy with work. It's just the two of us at home. I can help with some housework after school. I just learned it. If there is an opportunity in the future, the master will not dislike it. Well, there is also a senior brother. I'll cook for you to try."

"Ah."

Doctor Qin agreed with this statement and asked them all to sit down and talk.As he talked, he asked Wang Xuan to recite the medical books that had been mailed before.Goudan was a little nervous when he heard it, but those books are really thick and thick, and quite a few old sayings are still used.I'm a little worried that Wang Xuanji is mixed up and I can't recite it. What should I do if Doctor Qin doesn't want him?

Wang Xuan was very normal, he recited it in a rhythmic manner, and was interrupted by Doctor Qin from time to time to ask questions, but he did not forget it because of the interruption.When Doctor Qin signaled to continue, no matter which book or page he picked, he could recite it backwards and forwards.That's great.

"That's right, not only memorized it, but also understood it." Doctor Qin was very satisfied. It seemed that this closed-door disciple was not only smart but also very talented. In addition to hard work, talent is very important in learning this aspect.If it’s that kind of work, it’s always hard to remember the prescription, the properties of the medicine, the difference between similar herbs, and the inference of other things from one instance.That is no good.

"It seems that you have not only memorized more than half of the medical books, but you usually pick and prepare herbs yourself. Not bad."

"He Weng."

"master."

"Well, what is your charter?" It was Wang Xuan and others who asked.

The three of them looked at each other, and Wang Xuan told them their plan and the time of the report.

Doctor Qin looked at the calendar, and then did the math, "Seven days will be a good day, He Weng, please inform your brothers and sisters, and say that master, I will accept the last closed disciple." Then he asked Li Si: "Brother, what do you think?"

Li Sizi has no problem, he looks very powerful, no matter who the child in the family is, if he learns from him, he is willing to accept him, it is really a great luck.

Su and Weng agreed, and congratulated Wang Xuan.Wang Xuan patted the back of his head shyly, "Brother, please give me more advice in the future."

"It's easy to say." Su and Weng finally became senior brothers, and they were in a really good mood.

Li Si and the others were really relieved after waiting for this meeting. Although they had been calling Master Master before, but they didn't really nod in front of their faces, it was still false.

After confirming the next day, no matter who it is, it will be easy at once, and it will not be so restrained when getting along.According to Li Si's concept, the child's master is a little closer to his home, the kind that can be used as a relative.This kind of master-student relationship is still different from the teachers in the school in normal times.They are the kind that in the future Wang Xuan will treat his master as his own father, and want to provide for his master until the end of his life.

Apprenticeship is naturally a very important thing. Now, especially after going through the past, many people may not pay so much attention to it. At most, it is a gift box plus kneeling and kowtowing.But Doctor Qin is obviously the kind who attaches great importance to rules, and Wang Xuan is still the old man's last closed disciple.I don't know how many people wanted to worship under Master Qin, but he refused on the grounds of his age, but Wang Xuan is really talented, and he likes this child very much.

Therefore, as early as when the letters were being exchanged, he had softened his heart when he asked the child cautiously for advice.When the child's master master called, he did not refuse.Seeing it now is really good.

Obviously, apprenticeship is a very important process, and of course the Li family also attaches great importance to it.But they didn't know what to prepare, so they asked Su and Weng. If Su and Weng couldn't make up their minds, they asked their senior brothers and sisters for advice.

Then Li Si took the two of them to start preparations. They lived here, but they had to buy everything that their apprentices needed to prepare by themselves. It would be too ignorant to ask the master to pay for it.What's more, they don't lack this little money.

In addition, Wang Xuan also listened to Dr. Qin when he taught Su and Weng knowledge.Goudan also listened, but he wasn't very interested.He was in charge of buying vegetables, Wang Xuan was in charge of cooking, and Li Si couldn't be idle, so he asked when he could move the soil in the garden.I went to buy a hoe, cleaned up the weeds in the garden, and then opened a few ridges of vegetable fields in a sunny place, and I was ready to plant seeds.

In the past few days, the family did not buy food outside, and Wang Xuan's craftsmanship was unanimously praised by everyone.Su and Weng were lucky, fortunately, the junior brother had a pair of dexterous hands.Otherwise, I will continue to eat his food in the future, or it will be the rice cooked by the master. Really, I am really afraid that I will not be able to persist.

Fortunately, master, this little disciple is well received.

Look, even the Sichuan-style dishes he likes, the recipes that others have only read, can be prepared almost as well.

Talent is such a thing, really, he is really convinced.
