Tie Yaozi nodded: "I know this, so thank you very much. If your medicine really works and cures my toothache, I can give you three more days to raise money to pay off the debt. After three days, you must pay back the debt."

I am. I really count on this money to live on."

"Okay, I should be able to pay you back by then."

He would not have dared to say this before, but now, with the medicine gourd in his mind, he is confident enough. With the medicine gourd's accuracy in treating patients, he should be able to make money in three days.

Next Qiu Wuhen did not write a prescription, but got up to get him medicine. Five days' worth of medicine, a total of fifteen cents, was written down in the account book, and was directly offset against the debt.

Tie Yaozi was very satisfied. He no longer had any pain. He happily carried the medicine bag and left. Although he did not fully recover the debt, the toothache was temporarily stopped, and there was hope that it could be cured, which made him very happy.

Only the cow water tank remained in the house.

Qiu Wuhen turned to look at the cow water vat holding a hanging pig intestine, secretly swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and said with a smile: "Your father wants you to be an apprentice?"

The cow water tank nodded: "My father also said that Mr. Shi must teach the apprentice how to read, otherwise he will not be able to read medical books in the future. This way, he can learn how to read and read by the way. This is a good deal."

I guess the drunkard's intention is not to drink. In the name of studying medicine, he actually wants to learn to read and write and find a private tutor.

Although the father of this cow water tank is a butcher, he is very shrewd and worthy of being a businessman, and he is very good at calculating. Unfortunately, the cow water tank is too honest and tells his father's ideas.

"What about yourself? Do you want to learn?"

The cow water tank nodded.

Qiu Wuhen smiled: "Since I want to become a disciple, I have to get to know you first - what do you usually like to do?"

"Herding cattle, chopping wood, helping my father kill pigs, um, and fighting."

"Fight? Hehe, you have to pay for it, right?"

"Do I still have to pay for being beaten?"

"Um..., okay, let me ask you again, have you received any awards before?"

"You're good," the cow water tank said proudly, "I won the first place in a shitting competition once. They were still not convinced, so I didn't understand. Why did I have to take off my clothes if it wasn't to see who could shit faster?

Pants?"

"●﹏☉ミ"

This idiot is really the best.

Qiu Wuhen decided to accept him, even for the pig intestines that he bought every month.

However, he decided to show off his attitude and said: "To be honest, although you love medicine so much, judging from the test just now, you actually have poor qualifications. It is very difficult to learn medical skills well unless you do it."

If you meet a famous teacher, it will be difficult to achieve greatness..."

Before he could finish speaking, the cow water tank turned around and left with the hanging pig intestines in hand.

"Hey! What are you going to do?"

"Didn't the teacher say that I can't learn? I'll go home and tell my dad."

This idiot is really an honest man and doesn't understand the principle of playing hard to get.

Qiu Wuhen stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "I haven't finished my words yet, why are you so anxious? I mean, even though you have poor qualifications, you can still become talented thanks to meeting a famous teacher like me, but you have to

Try harder."

"Okay, I will work hard. My father said that if I don't study hard, he will whip my butt with a cane. The burning taste is uncomfortable. Although studying medicine and reading and writing are also painful, it is better than the pain in my butt.

"

"Well, learning medical skills is not only to avoid being spanked, but also to do something in the future, serve the court, and honor the ancestors. Isn't there a saying that 'If you don't want to be a good minister, you want to be a good doctor'? A good doctor is better than you

Killing a pig is a hundred times better."

"My dad said the same thing, he said..."

"Okay, it doesn't matter what your father says, what matters is your attitude. By the way, this teacher-appreciation ceremony is...?"

"One pig's intestines a month! That's what my father said, nothing else."

Is this it?

Qiu Wuhen glanced at the oily pig intestines again: "Can you add a pair of pork kidneys? You can eat whatever you eat to replenish your body. My body is weak and my kidneys are deficient, so I need to replenish it. - Master is not in good health.

As an apprentice, shouldn’t you show some respect?”

The cow water tank shook his head: "My father said that I only have one pair of pig intestines a month. I can't agree to any other requests. If it doesn't work, let me find Mr. Linghu to be my apprentice. Anyway, my father just asked me to learn how to read."

, he said that you have cured people to death. This medical skill is not very good. It doesn’t matter if you don’t learn it. The key is to learn to read and read. My father asked Mr. Linghu before. He thought I was stupid and refused to accept me.

Pig intestines and a pair of kidneys, he will accept me." After that, he turned around and left again.

Damn it, look down on others?

I didn't dare to say that I could teach you Chinese medicine before, but now that I have the medicine gourd, it won't take a minute to teach you this idiot.

Qiu Wuhen quickly stopped him again: "Okay, okay, since you are so pious as a disciple, I will accept you as a pig's intestines. - It's not because of your pig's intestines that I become my teacher.

For your sake, the most important thing for me is to appreciate your attitude of loving learning, so you should become a disciple!"

The cow-water tank made a sound, and handed the pig intestines to Qiu Wuhen. He knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Master, I'm here to kowtow to you, my apprentice."

"Um!"

Qiu Wuhen sat on the chair, holding the pair of pig intestines. He bowed to him three times and said in a long voice: "I'm telling you, baby, you have to abide by my rules when you come to my door. I

The rules are very simple, four words - honor master! Do you understand?"

Niu Shui Tank nodded: "I understand."

"Well, you will officially come as an apprentice tomorrow. Now go back."

The cow water tank nodded in agreement, stood up, and patted the dust on his knees: "Then I'm leaving." After that, he turned around and left.

"Wait!" Qiu Wuhen raised his voice, "Why did you forget what you just said? Sect rules! There are only four words in our sect's rules: filial piety to master. This filial piety includes filial piety and respect. Respect means being polite.——

If you want to say goodbye to Master, you have to clasp your fists and bow in salute to ask for instructions. Master, I will nod in agreement, and then you can take three steps back, then turn around and leave. Do you understand? This is the rule."

"Oh." The cow water tank was obedient. He clasped his fists and bowed, his head almost touching the ground. He straightened up and looked at Qiu Wuhen. After he nodded, he took three steps back and turned around.

He walked to the door, lifted the curtain and stepped out. He stopped again, turned around and came back and asked, "Master, should I bring paper and pen tomorrow?"

"Nonsense, don't you want to learn to write? If you don't bring a pen and paper, you have to pay the teacher to buy pen and paper for you? Do you know how expensive paper and pen are? A pair of pig intestines of yours can't be exchanged for a few pieces of paper!"

"I only have straw paper at home."

"Taluse paper is fine, as long as you can write. - There's also ink, a brush, and an inkstone!"

"Oh." The cow water tank agreed and left, and the drug store became quiet.

As soon as he left, Qiu Wuhen immediately jumped up, carrying the pig intestines, and was about to go into the backyard to tell his wife the good news. At this moment, the door curtain opened, and a girl in green clothes came in.

Qiu Wuhen turned around and saw that the girl was twenty-eight years old, with a petite figure and pretty features. She was Linghu Zhi, the daughter of the village teacher Linghu Ding. He quickly hung the pig intestines on the hook on the wall and came back: "You

Are you here to see a doctor?"

"No." Linghu Zhi said softly and sat down across the table, "My father asked me to copy books, but I didn't want to copy. I was too tired, so I secretly climbed out of the window to play. I passed by you and came in to sit for a while.

meeting."

With that said, Linghu Zhi took out a cooking pancake from her arms, took a crispy bite, chewed it loudly, and looked at Qiu Wuhen with her big eyes.

This pancake is baked to a crispy texture on the outside and tender on the inside. The golden skin is studded with stars like sesame seeds, and it also has a meaty aroma.

Qiu Wuhen couldn't help but swallowed a gulp of water. He quickly picked up the book on the table to block his sight, shook his head and started reading to cover up the sound of swallowing water.
