Liuli came up to Ye Jintang and read medical books with her.
"This is very simple. Just memorize the entire book and know what each medicinal material looks like, what's special about it, and what medicinal properties it has."
"After memorizing the two books, I will take you to the medicine shop to buy the same medicines and teach you how to distinguish the quality of the medicines."
After just a few words, Ye Jintang was stunned and didn't know what to say.
The two books Liuli brought were each two fingers thick, with pictures and text on each page, and half of them were densely packed words.
Some words Ye Jintang could barely recognize, and some were like ghostly symbols, and she couldn't even guess what they meant.
She felt like her hair would fall out if she wanted to memorize these two books completely.
"Did you memorize so much when you first started studying medicine?"
"It's more than this. I'm just getting started. As the medical skills I learn become more and more profound, there will be more and more books to memorize."
"My slave's family has some ancestral prescriptions, and the number is very large. There are about a dozen thick books like this. When the slave was just able to read, his father began to teach the slave to memorize the prescriptions. It took nearly 10 years to fully memorize them. Come down."
Liuli looked nostalgic when she mentioned the past.
If it hadn't been for the sudden change in her family, she would still be the innocent girl from the Lin family.
After calming down, Liuli showed a faint smile on her face.
"Fortunately, my father forced the slave to carry the prescription. Otherwise, the slave's family would have been in trouble, and all the prescriptions would have been destroyed."
"I keep all the prescriptions in my mind. As long as I keep alive the prescriptions passed down by the Lin family, they will not be lost."
Ye Jintang gently held Liuli's hand and comforted him in a low voice, "You can record all these prescriptions and make two copies just in case."
"This is a good idea, girl. From today on, when I teach the girl medical skills, I will keep silent on the medical books."
"That's more than a dozen books. It would take a lot of effort to write them out word by word."
"No rush, we have a long time."
After talking about medical books, Ye Jintang asked about the technique of cultivating gu with glass.
Although she is afraid of those snakes and insects, she is still very interested in the art of raising poisonous insects.
"Poisons can also restrain each other. As long as they find the rules and let them fight and devour each other, the one who wins in the end will be the Gu King."
"Depending on the purpose, the Gu insects raised are also different. The face-changing technique requires an eight-faced spider. Thanks to my luck, I dug many caves in the mountains outside the city before I found the eight-faced spider."
"Without the venom of the eight-faced spider, even if I am a slave, I would not be able to complete the face-changing technique."
"That's really amazing."
Ye Jintang looked at Liuli's face and couldn't imagine what she looked like before.
While the two were talking, the snow ball ran in from outside the house, and it jumped lightly and landed firmly in Ye Jintang's arms.
"The little Persian cat is really beautiful. Its eyes are like blue glazed balls. The girl probably spent a lot of money when she bought it."
"Oh? Is this a Persian cat? I don't think its white hair is long."
"There are many varieties of Persian cats. Xuetuan is probably a relatively rare short-haired cat. I have seen one from a foreign merchant before. If I remember correctly, one seems to cost 2,000 taels of silver."
"And the snowball will grow very fast, much larger than the average Persian cat. I heard from exotic traders that this short-haired Persian cat has snow leopard blood."
"2,000 taels of silver, so expensive?"
Ye Jintang picked up the snow ball and looked at its cute little face, thinking he heard it wrong.
However, she has only had Xue Tuan with her for more than a month, and she has indeed grown much bigger than before.
Wait, that's not the most important thing.
The important thing is that the snow dumpling was given to her by Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi gave Ye Jintang an expensive Persian cat, which made her very unhappy.
She doesn't like to owe favors the most. Originally she felt that she had already paid back most of the favors, but now she still owes a bigger one.
Xue Tuan, who had been hugged by Ye Jintang, couldn't help meowing and kept nudging her hand with his head.
"You little chubby cat, you act coquettishly and eat dried fish every day. If you continue to eat like this, you will become a ball of fat."
With words of disgust on his lips, Ye Jintang still picked up a wooden jar from the side, took out two small dried fish from it, and handed it to Xuetuan to eat.
"Luzhu, take Xue Tuan out to play, I have other things to do."
After touching Xue Tuan's little head, Ye Jintang was reluctant to hand it over to Lu Zhu.
Since she wants to learn medical skills, she must calm down and not lose her mind by playing with things.
In the autumn afternoon, Ye Jintang concentrated on memorizing medicinal materials, while Liuli opposite him was writing down the prescriptions silently with a pen and paper.
Light an incense stick with the scent of osmanthus in the room, and a trace of green smoke slowly rises and disperses.
Ye Jintang was reading the medical book in fascination when he heard Gu Wan'er's voice coming from outside.
"I just heard from Nanny Ji that the steward in the front yard brought back a lot of cloth and knick-knacks. I heard they were all from overseas. How about we go take a look together."
Gu Wan'er's words were full of excitement, but Ye Jintang couldn't help but frown.
She had seen cloth from overseas at the Dongshi market, and it was far inferior to that of Tianqin, so she had no interest in joining in the fun.
"My cousin wants to meet cousin Ziqiu in the front yard. If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I'm busy right now."
Ye Jintang revealed Gu Wan'er's thoughts with one word, and Gu Wan'er's cheeks turned slightly red.
"It doesn't matter. If my cousin doesn't go, then I won't go either."
Gu Wan'er sat next to Ye Jintang, looked at the medical book in her hand, and asked about the medical book.
Endorsing requires concentration. Gu Wan'er kept talking here, how could Ye Jintang be able to memorize it.
She could only think of a way to send the person away before continuing to read.
Ye Jintang had already clearly rejected Gu Wan'er, but she came again the next day.
The reason this time was that I wanted to go to Wen Ziqiu's study to look at paintings.
Ye Jintang was miserable because of her troubles and planned to scare her so that she would not bother her in the future.
"Liu Li, didn't you say you wanted to see my anatomy skills? I'll have someone catch some big toads in a moment, and I'll show you off."
"My servant has only heard of some powerful doctors who know how to dissect, but it's a pity that I have never seen him."
"If the girl can teach this unique skill to the slave, maybe the slave can use this skill to heal others in the future."
There were doctors in Xingnan City who could perform simple surgeries. Ye Jintang asked Zhou Cong to find a set of surgical tools.
At first, she didn't have much hope, but when she looked at the more than 20 scalpels on the table, she couldn't help but sigh that Tian Qin's medical skills were much stronger than she had imagined.
There were more than 20 scalpels, each of which was extremely sharp. She picked up one and gently swiped it across the handkerchief, and a small cut was made on the handkerchief with almost no effort.
"So sharp?"
"Master, there is also needle and thread. The person who sold me the knife said that it is best to use catgut and a needle to suture the wound."
Zhou Cong opened a white cloth roll. Six needles of different sizes were lined up inside, and a large roll of catgut was placed next to it.
The catgut is processed very well, it is only as thin as a hair, and it is very strong, so it is best used for suturing wounds.
