065 Master also knows this

Return to the inn.

The master and apprentice took a short nap, and when Ping An opened his eyes, he found his master sorting various small bottles in the suitcase on the table.

"Master, can I help you?"

"Are you awake? Come here, Master is preparing some self-defense items for you."

Self-defense? That's not what he was thinking, is it?

"Ping An, there have been a lot of things going on at Baicao Hall in the past two years, and I'm afraid we will be away from home for a lot of time. But it will take at most five years, or three years at the fastest, and the staffing will basically be able to catch up. By then, we will only go out occasionally.

These are the good things you must have when you go out, but you can’t tell others about them. Just keep them to yourself. Telling others about them might cause trouble.”

A quarter of an hour later, Ping An received more than a dozen bottles, ranging from small itch medicine to medium-sized sleeping pills and large ones to poisons, there were quite a lot of types.

For Yu Ping'an, he could compile a lot of prescriptions for these medicines within half an hour. After decades of medical career and having read countless medical books, these were really nothing. It was just that he had never actually prepared any medicines. They were all theoretical knowledge.

"Master, can you make all of these?"

"These are not difficult. What is there that you can't do? But these are not given by the master. Jixiang and the others carry them with them when they go out, just in case. They are not usually used. Although you are young, you are still a steady person. I will give some to you. You must not tell anyone else."

There were six kinds of medicine, two copies of each. One copy was safely hidden in the interlayer of the small medical box, and the other copy he sewed into his belt. The bottle was small, so it didn't affect anything.

There really is nowhere to hide summer clothes.

"Master, could you teach me these medicines later?"

Sun Sicheng looked at the little disciple in front of him, whose attitude had become much more natural in the past two days.

He nodded and said, of course I can teach you.

"I will probably be returning home in October. After I come back, I have to deal with some things and rush to the capital. Your great-grandfather and ancestor are in the capital. My wife and children are also there. I will not take you with me this year. I promised you to go back and spend the New Year with your parents.

But it's still early before the New Year, I'll send you to Baicao Valley and let Master Qin and the others teach you how to make medicine, and I'll send you back to the manor ten days before the New Year."

Baicao Valley? Very good. If you stay in the village doing nothing for a few months, you won’t learn any skills and it will be boring.

He nodded.

"Master Fang of Baicao Valley is a man of great ability. Jixiang and the others were trained by him. You, Erqiang, and Qingshi can also learn from him for a while. With martial arts skills, you can protect yourself and your family when you go out. It will be beneficial for your whole life.

Also, when we get to Jiangnan, I will probably pass on these two emergency methods through the government for free. I say free, but it doesn’t require money. However, it will benefit our reputation, which is a hidden benefit. These can only be passed on in the name of Baicaotang, and I can’t use you.”

"I know." Ping An said with a smile, "I am a child. If it is my recipe, it will be only 30% good, and even this 30% is useless to me. Baicaotang is different. Master, can't you spread it in your name? This way you can gain fame, and Baicaotang will not be left behind."

Sun Sicheng was stunned, then laughed.

Baicaotang was originally founded by his grandfather. When it came to his father's hand, due to many factors, he only paid 10% dividend to the clan every year, but did not give away any shares.

Later, due to various reasons, he had to give a dividend to someone in Beijing, but he also did not give up any shares.

So even though they gave away 20% of their dividends for free, the shares were all their own, and the concessions were only signed for three years, not for a long term.

Over the years, Baicaotang has grown stronger and stronger under his leadership. All the capable people are those he has trained. He has also arranged some capable people from the clan, but they will never be in key positions.

He was very persistent on this point.

"Ping An, Baicaotang has to give out a lot of silver every year, but the shares are all in the hands of my Sun family. This time, we will probably use your two emergency methods. Ping An, if everything goes well, the master will prepare something practical for you."

Ping An shook his head: "Master, I am still young, and even if you give me something, it cannot be registered under my name."

"This time, I'm giving your mother 40 acres of good farmland and your stepfather a two-story house. These are basically enough. They can slowly acquire some property in the future.

What the master gives you in the future will not be transferred for the time being. There are subordinates to help take care of it. Your parents will have children in the future. It’s not that you can’t be filial, but you still have a long life to live. You can’t be empty-handed. If you want to do something, you have to ask for it. This is inconvenient. "

"Master, I don't want to always ask for your things. I like silver, too. My biological father died a long time ago, my grandparents also passed away, my biological mother remarried, and my stepfather is a very good person, but I was still very panicked before."

He recounted the three rules he had made with his stepfather, and his ears turned red.

Looking at the shy child, Sun Sicheng felt a lump in his throat and wanted to cry.

He said softly: "You did the right thing. Leaving yourself an alternative does not mean being unfilial to your parents. When you make money, you can give them some money every year so that they can live a good life.

But parents are also human beings, and everyone has their own preferences. You hold most of the property in your hands, so even if your parents are partial to your younger siblings, it won’t matter, and there won’t be too many conflicts between them, right?"

Ping An nodded, "I think so too. I'll tell Master about this. Will Master blame me for being selfish?"

"Silly child, how can a person be free of thoughts? If you don't think about yourself, you are not a smart person. The master also has his own thoughts."

"Master, I remember now. That grandfather also said that a person's stomach can be cut open and sutured after treatment, and the person can still be alive. For example, if you have an intestinal abscess, you can just cut out the damaged intestines and the person will be fine."

Sun Sicheng's heart was pounding. "Ping An, I've heard about this before, but there has never been such a precedent in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's not easy to survive after surgery. Don't tell anyone about this."

"I can only tell you that no one else can do it. Master, the grandfather taught me how to sew. He said that I could practice on pork or rabbit. Pork is dead, while rabbit is alive.

He also drew me a blueprint of this knife, but it was drawn on the ground and quickly erased. If I think about it carefully, I can still remember it, but the knife is very special and it would be impossible without a good blacksmith. "

Sun Sicheng took a deep breath and said, "Ping An, you can figure it out slowly later. This matter is between you and me. We can only practice in private when we have time in the future. This is a big matter and cannot be easily told to others."

Ping An nodded again, but he felt amused in his heart. It was the simplest thing for him, so why did he need to practice it privately?

But of course these cannot be said.

All the things from the previous life have to be taken out slowly and used.

The reason why he told the master all this, in addition to curing diseases and saving lives, was also partly because the master was willing to give it to him.

If you want to live well, you have to find a way.

If the same recipe is given to others, not only will it be unsafe, but others will also bargain for the price. But the master is different. If the master is good, he must get good ones as well. What's more, what he gives exceeds his expectations. Even so, he still feels like he is getting a great deal from him.

In this case, of course I would take some out and give it to the master.

After listening to what the master said, he felt relieved. Now he was like a child from a modern divorced family. He did not have the happiness of children from his original family, at least mentally. He had many little thoughts and was worried about gains and losses.
