Chapter 665 Good Memory
The village head's wife's eyes were red with excitement. "Miss Su, this is really delicious."
"Especially this soup, it's so delicious."
"We've stewed chicken and drunk chicken soup before, but it's never tasted this delicious."
"And you said this is spicy, but we didn't find it unpalatable at all. It's so delicious."
The village chief's wife thought it was so delicious that she wanted to cry.
Everyone looked at Su Ruoyun with admiration.
They all had no idea what method Miss Su used to make such a delicious dish.
The most important thing is that they now know about new foods.
I learned that mushrooms are edible and so delicious.
There are also those wood ears drying on the grates in the yard, which can be eaten.
After the rain, they could see a lot of wood ear mushrooms on the mountain, but because they thought wood ear mushrooms were poisonous, no one dared to pick or eat them.
I wouldn't dare touch those things even if I was hungry.
But now everything is fine. They can go to the mountains to pick wood ear mushrooms, come back to soak, wash and dry them according to the method Miss Su said, and then soak them again when they are ready to eat.
Su Ruoyun watched the village chief and his family praising the food, and her appetite grew a lot too.
"You can also pick edible mushrooms and wood ears to eat later."
“It can be used for stewing soup or cooking.”
The village chief and his family all took note of it.
After eating, Luo Dazhuang and his three brothers touched their stomachs and felt very full.
They just feel so comfortable after having a full and delicious meal.
In the past, they could only eat half full and always felt hungry.
But Su Ruoyun now understood why everyone said that half-grown boys were ready to eat.
They do have big appetites.
"Sister Su, can we help you with the work?"
Luo Dazhuang plucked up the courage to talk to Su Ruoyun.
Su Ruoyun smiled and said, "Why do you want to help me with the work?"
Luo Dazhuang touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "Because Sister Su taught us to identify so many foods, our family will have more food in the future. I am grateful to Sister Su and want to help Sister Su with work."
He felt bad for not doing anything to help Sister Su and just eating the food she made.
Su Ruoyun looked at Luo Dazhuang, smiled and said, "It will be very hard if you help me with the work."
Luo Dazhuang patted his chest and said, "Sister Su, we country people have plenty of strength and are not afraid of hard work or suffering."
Su Ruoyun looked at Luo Dazhuang and his two younger brothers. Although they looked thin, their arms were very muscular and they looked very strong.
I heard from the village chief and his wife that these three boys have been helping with housework since they were young.
They also did the farm work and hunting.
None of the children in the village felt it was hard work. When they were able to run and jump, they helped their families with chores within their ability.
Su Ruoyun also understood this.
It was like this when I lived in Liuhe Village.
Su Ruoyun thought about the matter of the pharmacy and said, "But I do need someone to help me with something here."
Luo Dazhuang's eyes lit up.
He knew that Sister Su and Mr. Gu were very capable, but he didn't expect that Sister Gu would use him.
"But you have to learn from it."
Luo Dazhuang said seriously: "Sister Su, I will definitely study hard."
Su Ruoyun said: "I need to learn about herbs."
Luo Dazhuang suddenly revealed a look of shock and excitement and said, "Sister Su, can I...can I learn to identify herbs?"
"Well, you need to learn these, and also remember some of the medicinal effects."
Luo Dazhuang said seriously: "I will definitely study hard."
Being able to learn something is the best thing.
It is difficult for people in their village to learn anything.
If you want to become a disciple, some will not accept apprentices at all, and some may not teach you even if they accept apprentices, and you will have to pay money.
Su Ruoyun was very pleased to see Luo Dazhuang's eagerness for knowledge.
As long as you are willing to learn.
But Su Ruoyun thought about it and realized that if she came to teach in person, it would indeed take time.
It would be better to set up a medical school to teach everyone some basic theoretical knowledge of medicinal materials, and then put them into the workshop assembly line to produce some medicines.
Then arrange people to sell medicine in the pharmacy.
"It's better to be literate."
Luo Dazhuang lowered his head and said, "But I can't!"
Su Ruoyun said: "It's okay. During the time we live here, you and your two brothers can learn pinyin from me. Once you learn pinyin, it will be easier for you to recognize words on your own."
Su Ruoyun even thought about adding pinyin when writing the instructions and the name of the medicine on the medicine bottle.
This way they can be easily identified.
Learning to read is slow, but learning pinyin is definitely fast.
Luo Dazhuang asked with some confusion: "Sister Su, what is pinyin?"
Su Ruoyun patiently explained: "It's something that helps you learn to read."
Su Ruoyun knew that many people in Dayan Dynasty now knew pinyin, but some remote areas might not know it.
But the people at the Gulin Royal Court definitely don’t know.
But it doesn’t matter, she can popularize pinyin.
Luo Dazhuang was very excited and happy, and he also wanted to learn pinyin.
Although he didn't know what it was, he understood that it would definitely be good to learn more.
Luo Dazhuang felt excited at the thought of learning something.
Su Ruoyun took out a piece of paper, wrote a few pinyin characters, and taught Luo Dazhuang to recognize and learn them.
After just one teaching, Luo Dazhuang remembered it all.
Su Ruoyun was surprised, "Your memory is really good."
This kind of memory is innate.
No wonder Luo Erzhuang and Luo Sanzhuang both said that their brother had a quick memory.
So at this time, Su Ruoyun was also very happy when looking at Luo Dazhuang.
With training, he will become a good owner of a pharmacy.
Luo Dazhuang was a little embarrassed, "I don't know either, it's just that it's easier to remember things when I see them."
"Don't you want to go to school?"
Such people should be able to achieve good results in their studies.
Endorsement will definitely be fast.
Luo Dazhuang shook his head and said, "No, the tuition fees, pens, ink, paper and inkstone are too expensive, and there is no academy in the nearest city."
"Also, even if you study hard, you may not be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official. I heard that official positions are only arranged by nobles."
"So I don't think about those things. I just want to learn something, feed my family, and spend time with them."
"If you want to study abroad, you have to go to a city far away."
Luo Dazhuang's idea is very simple.
It means having enough meals every day, wearing warm clothes, and living together as a family in peace and stability.
He was only thirteen years old, so he didn't think much about it.
Su Ruoyun nodded. It was indeed a very practical idea.
When she was in Liuhe Village, she only cared about having enough food to eat. As for wearing new clothes, she didn't dare to think about it too much.
She probably also understands the situation in the village here.
"Don't worry, you will definitely have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear."
She and Gu Lenghan were planning to develop the nearby farm.
Even if you want to build a pharmaceutical workshop, you will definitely have to hire people to do the work.
If a pharmaceutical workshop is built or a pharmacy is opened, it will attract many merchants here and drive the economic development of the surrounding area.
However, these cannot be achieved overnight and need to be arranged step by step.
Listening to Su Ruoyun's words, Luo Dazhuang also believed it.
For some reason, he just believed what Sister Su said.
"Well, I just want to be able to have a full meal like lunch every time."
"And the cornmeal pancakes you made, Sister Su, are so delicious."
"We used to dislike eating cornmeal pancakes because they hurt our throats, but the ones you make are delicious and super soft."
Su Ruoyun said: "Next time I do it, you watch and I will teach you how to do it."
"Thank you, Sister Su. Sister Su, you are so kind."
"Sister Su is different from the nobles my parents talked about."
Su Ruoyun asked in surprise: "How do you know we are nobles?"
"Sister Su is so beautiful and her clothes are different from ours. And Master Gu looks very powerful. He must be a noble."
"Also, before the New Year, my parents took us to visit the city, and we saw nobles."
"They never treat us commoners as human beings. They always call us untouchables and beat us if we bump into their carriages."
"That's why everyone doesn't like going to the city. The village is better. It's free and easy in the village. Everyone helps each other and there's no bullying."
Luo Dazhuang didn't know why, but he trusted Sister Su very much and couldn't help telling her a lot of things.
Su Ruoyun seemed to be thinking about something, and she looked at Gu Lenghan.
Gu Lenghan's expression also became cold.
Obviously Gu Lenghan also took these words to heart.
Gu Lenghan had just returned to the Gulin Royal Court not long ago.
He also didn't know the situation in the cities around.
It seems that we still need to understand the situation of the city and govern it.
Gu Lenghan now understood the benefits of coming to the countryside.
Some things cannot be investigated, but if you take a trip among the people, you may learn a lot.
He could also understand some of the imperfections in the Gulin Royal Court's systems.
It seems that he will have to issue some decrees when he returns to prohibit the nobles from oppressing the people.
Su Ruoyun asked, "What constitutes a collision?"
Luo Dazhuang said, "When the nobles' carriages passed by, we didn't have time to dodge and stood in the middle of the road, startling their horses, which counted as a collision."
When Su Ruoyun heard this, she was furious, "How can this be!"
Is this bullying?
This made her think of the time when her third uncle and cousin Dong Wenren met each other.
It seemed that it was originally because Uncle Dong’s classmate accidentally bumped into Princess Anping. Although Princess Anping is now under house arrest, the princess was very arrogant at that time and even beat students who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations.
And they don't care about people's lives.
Gu Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun angry, reached out and gently held her hand, patted it soothingly and said: "Don't worry, it will be resolved."
Gu Lenghan naturally didn't want Su Ruoyun to be angry.
He brought Su Ruoyun to the Gulin Royal Court just to make her happy.
It seems that these matters need to be properly regulated and managed.
Luo Dazhuang said, "Sister Su, you are different from them. I think Sister Su is not arrogant at all. She treats us very well and does not discriminate against us."
Su Ruoyun said with a smile: "You already know what discrimination is at such a young age."
"Of course I know. Sister Su is very nice. I am very happy to learn from her and help her with things."
Su Ruoyun encouraged him, "You are very smart and talented. If you study hard, you can be very successful in the future."
