049 Shocked
Jixiang came to pick people up at exactly the right time of Chen.
Er Qiang walked over hesitantly: "Brother Jixiang, can I go with you?"
Jixiang smiled and said, "You can go, but you have to follow me. There are many guests today, so you can't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, Brother Jixiang, I will definitely learn how to do things from you."
Erqiang quickly ran back to the house and changed into new clothes and shoes. Today was a peaceful day.
Wan Changsheng took the gifts and put them in the car. After his son and Erqiang came over, he quickly asked his wife to go back to the courtyard and prepared to leave.
"Master Wan, Madam is not going to go?"
Wan Changsheng smiled and said, "My wife won't go. She's not used to having so many people at a banquet."
Jixiang did not say anything either. Today's banquet was rushed and there was only enough time to invite some guests from Huainan Prefecture. There was no time to invite guests from nearby prefectures. It was estimated that all the guests at the apprenticeship banquet would be men.
It was still early, so Jixiang sent them directly to the back hall. More and more people came to the front hall to see doctors and get medicine.
Early this morning, a notice was posted outside the gate of Baicaotang, which stated that the eldest master of Baicaotang was accepting his first disciple today, and that medical consultations would be free and medicine would be discounted by 20%.
The doctors on duty came early in the morning and the consultation was free. As you can imagine, people with even the slightest discomfort would come to see the doctor for peace of mind. They would feel relieved if they were not sick. If there was anything wrong, the medicine would only be 20% off, which was a good deal in every way.
Both the father and the son were touched. Wan Changsheng decided immediately to give the prescription now. There were many people at the table, and if someone knew about it, it might bring trouble to the eldest son.
Erqiang followed Jixiang consciously and stood in the aisle leading to the backyard.
When the father and son arrived at the back hall, Sun Sicheng had already prepared tea.
"Come on, let's have a drink before going to the restaurant. It will probably take another hour for the guests to arrive."
The guests won't arrive too early, so I picked Ping'an and the others up early because I wanted to explain the apprenticeship process to the children in detail and nothing should go wrong at the banquet.
It's really too urgent today, and I don't have enough time to invite friends in several nearby states. If it were the end of the month, it would still be in time. But forget it, let's just keep it simple.
"Why didn't my sister-in-law come?"
Wan Changsheng smiled and said, "Ping An's mother is not used to being around so many people, so it's fine if she stays at home. Young Master, today we are going to become your disciple, and we have a gift we want to give you in advance. I wonder if it will be of any use to you."
He then pulled out an ordinary purse from his bosom, took out the paper inside and handed it over.
Unable to find a suitable box, Mei Niang made a purse on the spot.
"This is..." Sun Sicheng thought about it and took it. When he took a look, he was shocked. "Prescription? Or a prescription for heart disease?"
He looked at it carefully, over and over again.
It was brilliant, really brilliant, much better than the prescription he came up with to treat heart disease, and there were two more.
"Brother Wan, where does this recipe come from?"
"Ping An, talk to your master."
Ping'an once again felt that his stepfather was a really good person, as if he never forgot to push him forward.
So he repeated the origin of the prescription again. He had already told it yesterday, and it sounded more fluent today.
No wonder people say that if you tell lies too many times, they will sound like the truth.
Sun Sicheng looked at the sophisticated small calligraphy on the paper again and thought that the person was definitely a master who unfortunately suffered from a heart disease, and the disease was serious. For some reason, he had to come out to collect medicine himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh that his little apprentice was lucky. No, it was him who was lucky.
Qi Jiaojiao and her daughter were luckier.
"Ping An, this recipe is wonderful. Does the old man remember it? Let me see if I recognize it."
Sun Sicheng was confident that there was basically no famous doctor in the nearby states that he didn't know.
But he had never heard of an old doctor with serious heart disease. Could it be that he didn't want to make it public?
The old man gave the recipe to Ping'an, and Ping'an could give it to himself. But if the person is an acquaintance, it is best to go and say hello before using the recipe yourself. A good recipe should be passed down from generation to generation, let alone two people.
"Master, the grandfather is about 60 years old, tall and thin. He didn't tell me his name, but said he came from far away to find some rare medicine to use in his new prescription.
But I suddenly got sick. He gave me the prescription and told me to use it, but not to use it easily. I thought my master might need it, so I discussed it with my parents. "
Sun Sicheng nodded and said, "Maybe he is a hermit. He has a serious heart disease. If there is no one around him, he may die in a short time. To be honest, you saved his life unintentionally, so he gave you the precious prescription.
Brother Wan, this recipe is good, it can be said to be wonderful. I just happened to have a patient with a serious heart disease, and this is a timely relief for both me and the patient.
I'm not free today, but when I'm free in a few days, we can sit down and talk. I can't just take the recipe for free. I'll give you a share of the profits from everyone who uses it. We'll sign an agreement later for the details."
He was thinking about what Ping An said, that the old man was looking for medicine for a new prescription, which must be a better prescription. He wondered if it could cure his heart disease?
Thinking of this, he became anxious. If he could meet the old man, he would definitely follow him, even to the ends of the earth.
Wan Changsheng waved his hands hurriedly, "How can this be? Ping An has already given it to us, and his mother and I have agreed to it. There is no reason for us to charge him. Besides, it's a profit sharing. It's not right. But let me say this in advance. Ping An can also use this recipe in the future."
Although Ping An didn't want the share, he felt comfortable when his master said this. His master was indeed a generous person.
Sun Sicheng said: "Ping An can certainly use this recipe in the future. Not to mention that the recipe originally belongs to him, he is also my apprentice.
Let’s not talk about the recipe today. There is also the process of becoming a disciple later. I will tell you about it first to prevent mistakes.”
Should he buy the recipe or share the profits? Thinking about it carefully, two such good recipes should definitely be the first share for Da Zhou. Wan Changsheng and his young disciple do not understand the value of this recipe, but he cannot fool people.
If you really take advantage of the situation, you will feel uncomfortable when Ping An grows up. It's not worth it.
The Sun family is not short of money, and the good recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. The Sun family has already made a lot of money. If they don’t spend a penny, what kind of people would they be?
But this is a big deal, and it won’t be too late to talk about it in a few days. He also needs to make the recipe into pills and think carefully about how to promote it.
New drugs all have a verification period, no matter how good the prescription is. After all, he doesn't know how long the old man has used it.
However, after years of practicing medicine, he could conclude that this recipe was very effective. Even if it could not cure the heart disease, it could control the condition to the greatest extent.
This is really amazing.
Sun Sicheng explained the process of becoming a disciple to the father and son in detail.
Ping An understood.
The first thing is to worship the ancestors and the patron saint of the industry.
The next step is to pay homage to the master. The master (or his wife) invites the disciple to take a seat, the disciple kowtows three times, and then hands over the letter of paying homage to the master.
He was really not prepared for this.
At this time, the master gave a lecture and explained the rules of the sect in detail, which was nothing more than asking the apprentice to study medicine hard, be a clean person, have a kind heart, etc.
Finally, the apprentice’s family presented a gift to pay homage to the master.
Wan Changsheng got anxious when he heard this: "Master, we are rough people and don't know anything. We don't have this letter of apprenticeship."
Sun Sicheng raised the corner of his lips: "It's okay, I have already prepared it for you."
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper that looked very exquisite and handed it to Ping An.
Ping'an took it. The master was really attentive. He passed the prepared letter of apprenticeship in his hand once and then returned it to the master.
Seeing that the time was almost up, several people hurried to the restaurant. Otherwise, if the guests arrived but the host had not yet arrived, it would be very rude and would serve as a negative example to others for the rest of their lives.
