"You're so flattering!" Su Mu was embarrassed to be praised like this by an old gentleman.
"Haha, I never praise people randomly. If everyone says something bad about you, then I won't say these things. If one person thinks you are good, then you may not really be good, but everyone thinks you are good. Okay, then there must be something extraordinary about you." The old gentleman smiled heartily and stroked his beard.
Su Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, and then he bowed to the old gentleman very seriously:
"I don't know your name, but I would like to express my gratitude to you for giving me this book. It has benefited me a lot. Whenever I have a problem, I can understand it immediately thanks to the book I gave you!"
"Have you finished reading the book?" the old gentleman asked him with a smile.
Su Mu nodded and continued to bow.
"No need to be polite. I saw that you had some talent, so I gave you the book. Now that you have read it, I will give you a test. Are you willing?"
If the old gentleman wants to test him, it means that he is also a medical student. Of course Su Mu is willing. There is no end to learning and only by asking for advice humbly can he make progress.
"Of course I am willing. If this junior has any unclear ideas, please don't hesitate to teach me!"
"Okay, come with me to the backyard. Don't occupy space in the front hall and miss the patient's consultation!"
The old man got up and walked to the backyard of Jishan Hall. Su Mu looked at Dr. Lin. He should do something today, but he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
So he wanted to ask Dr. Lin to give him some time.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Doctor Lin looked at him with a smile and said proactively:
"Go ahead, there's no one in the front hall for now!"
So, Su Mu followed the old gentleman to the backyard. The old gentleman had already sat down in the courtyard. There were also tea and snacks prepared in the courtyard. It was obvious that he knew Doctor Lin well and was a distinguished guest of Jishan Hall.
"Young man, sit down!" The old gentleman asked him to sit down.
"Grandpa, who are you making trouble for so early in the morning?"
As soon as Su Mu sat down, a girl's voice suddenly entered her ears.
Turning his head to look, he saw a girl wearing a goose-yellow cotton skirt walking briskly with her skirt in hand.
The girl has picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and is pretty and playful.
At first glance, her style is similar to Su Wan's, but Su Wan's facial features are brighter, while hers is more elegant.
He seems to be two years older than Su Wan.
Maybe, girls in their teenage years all look the same!
Because there was a younger sister at home, Sumu looked at her a few times, then looked away and lowered his head slightly.
"You girl, you are so sharp-tongued, why am I making things difficult for others?" The old gentleman looked at his granddaughter, his tone and expression were very doting.
The girl's attention was not on her grandfather at the moment, but she tilted her head to look at Su Mu, her eyes full of inquiry.
Su Mu felt her gaze and subconsciously looked up. The two eyes collided. After the girl was stunned, she quickly blushed and lowered her head with guilt.
"Okay, grandpa, I want to test this young man. Don't interrupt me if you are here!" The old gentleman got back to business, and business was more important.
"I know, grandpa!" the girl responded obediently.
After that, the old gentleman began to give Su Mu questions, which were all based on the knowledge in the two books. Some of them were related to detoxification, and some were related to the medicinal materials in the books, their pharmacology, side effects, and growth environment. Su Mu one by one The answers were fluent, and the old gentleman was very satisfied. He kept stroking his beard and nodding, and looked at Su Mu with more and more admiration.
After that, he asked someone to bring a lot of medicinal materials and pills, and asked Su Mu to identify them by smell alone while blindfolding them.
If he was still appreciative before, then after seeing Su Mu's talent, his eyes turned into joy, and he almost couldn't suppress his joy.
Finally, the old gentleman asked his granddaughter to get some books and give them to Su Mu.
"Son, these are several books I have compiled during my years of practicing medicine. All difficult and complicated diseases are recorded in them. They can be regarded as my encounters and learnings in my life. Take these books back and read them carefully. I will come to you again when I am free next time, and I hope you can surprise me again!"
The old gentleman still has one last test waiting for him, which depends on how deep Su Mu's learning ability and acceptance ability are.
And now that the past few years have passed, many things will have to wait until next year to be discussed.
Su Mu was flattered, but with his yearning for medical skills, he accepted these books and regarded them as treasures.
…
On the day of the market, Su Chen, Su Yun, and Su Wan took two hundred copies of Shaqima to the market to set up a stall.
There were a lot of people going to the market in Yang'ao today. Lao Hongtou had to make two trips, and Su Wan and his three brothers and sisters made the first trip.
Su Yi and Jiang Yu stayed at home to look after the house. The livestock in the house couldn't be left unattended.
Today is a big market, so it’s not easy to find a suitable stall.
There were so many people. People from all over the country came to the market, as well as residents of the county. The whole market was packed, and they all came to buy new year's goods.
It was hard to find a place to set up the stall, and business started coming in just after the stall opened.
It was all thanks to Su Yun and the others that they were able to lose some of their popularity by walking through villages and alleys, and they were able to save themselves from yelling loudly on the streets. After going to so many villages, there were always many people who had eaten Shaqima. As long as you eat When your appetite is satisfied, you will miss it.
Business was very good today, and customers kept coming to us without any need for promotion.
Buy one portion of this one, buy two portions of that one, and everyone can taste it at will. For their point of view, many people are happy to support them.
Almost half of the items were sold out quickly. Su Yun was responsible for getting the goods for them, Su Wan was responsible for collecting the money, Su Chen was responsible for maintaining order, and the three brothers and sisters cooperated tacitly.
During this process, we also received a big order. Liu Yuan's wife in the north of the city was taking in her daughter-in-law, and she wanted to order 200 copies of Shaqima, which would be delivered ten days later.
It is said that they were recommended by the Huo family. After signing the order and giving a deposit, the business was considered a success.
Huo Yuanwai's birthday banquet was a great success that day, and Shaqima was widely praised.
At the end of the day, all two hundred copies of Shaqima were sold for twenty-eight taels of silver. Including Liu's fifteen-tael deposit, the total was forty-three taels.
She had to buy materials before going back. Her parents would be back the day after tomorrow. Su Wan was going to buy more meat, two more chickens, and two more fish.
You can buy fish from the fish stalls in the market, and if you want chicken, you can just stop by Grandma Cai’s house and catch it.
There are also eggs. The demand is too great and the consumption is too large in proportion, but both are indispensable.
Tomorrow we have to go to the nearby villages to collect as much as we can.
There is another market half a month later, and there are two more markets before the end of the year. The New Year's Eve is half a month after Zhengdan.
When I went to the state capital to sell Shaqima, I chose the front of Zhengdan, and I happened to be able to watch it together with the lantern festival.
This business is bound to make a profit!
