Chapter 1567: Boundaries (Thanks to the book friend "Da Da" for the reward)
Doctor Liu said, "I can't ask too much about the matters between them as master and disciple."
Doctor Fang smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not is not certain."
Doctor Liu had a smile on his face but you couldn't tell it was true, but he felt really sad inside because he really didn't know.
Sanniang didn't like to tell him these things. Before Zhou Man accepted her as his apprentice, she would carefully ask her about the medical theories she didn't understand. But after Zhou Man accepted her as his apprentice, Doctor Liu rarely talked about Zhou Man and the medical theories she learned from her at home.
Some of the things that were mentioned could be found out with a little effort, and Doctor Liu did not force his granddaughter after noticing this.
Because he knew that since Sanniang had become Zhou Man's disciple, she had to make a choice: to be closer to Zhou Man or to the Liu family.
After all, it is a skill. Although Doctor Liu admires Zhou Man's medical skills, he cannot do such things as peeping or stealing.
Both the grandfather and the grandson tacitly maintained a certain degree so as to avoid any scandal between the Liu and Zhou families in the medical field in the future.
However, Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao, who also worshipped Zhou Man as their teacher, did not have such worries, because Zhou Man had a very close relationship with Jishidiang, as she was originally from Jishidiang.
Zhou Man started cooperating with Jishidiang several years ago. He gave Jishidiang a lot of things, and Jishidiang also taught Zhou Man a lot.
Therefore, the two Zheng brothers can not only represent Jishidiang to Zhou Man, but also represent Zhou Man in Jishidiang, making the relationship between Zhou Man and Jishidiang closer.
But the Liu family is different, they have almost no conflicts of interest.
Of course, he didn't know whether Dean Xiao and Doctor Fang believed it or not. Doctor Liu also knew that this kind of thing could not be explained. The more he explained, the less people would believe it.
At this time, Manbao was also talking to her four apprentices in Jishidiang.
She told them that Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao had received the quota and encouraged them, "You are both over the age limit, so go to pharmacy first and try to get into the medical and physical therapy department within three months."
She said, "Aside from acupuncture and some medical treatments, my other medical skills are still a little behind those of other imperial physicians. From now on, the physical therapy department of the Imperial Hospital will be led by Dean Xiao himself. He specializes in many diseases and his medical skills are beyond reproach. You should learn from him."
Manbao didn't hesitate and learned all his skills.
Of course, Xiao Yuanzheng must have some hidden medical skills that he only teaches to his own children, but medical skills are not something that can be learned by just teaching them; nor is it something that cannot be learned by not teaching them.
For the former, please refer to her apprentice Zheng Shao, and for the latter, you can refer to her.
After talking about the two disciples, she turned to Liu Yinu and said, "Sanniang, you have to learn pharmacy as well. You should mainly learn acupuncture. If you can combine it with pharmacy, you will be able to treat more diseases in the future. In addition, don't forget to learn some pathology. To be a doctor, you still have to be able to prescribe medicine, otherwise you will lose your ability to be a doctor."
Doctor Liu nodded seriously.
"If you don't understand something, ask me, or ask your senior brother. Manager Zheng is also very good, you can ask him." Manbao found many candidates for Liu Yinu to consult. "Doctor Liu's medical skills are also very good, you can ask him at home."
Seeing that Manbao mentioned everyone she knew, Doctor Liu could no longer nod her head. She thought that her master must have forgotten other people's skills and would not pass them on to random people.
Manbao was still pointing at Dr. Liu and trying to learn her grandfather's skills. Seeing that she was so shy and embarrassed in front of her grandfather, she couldn't help but teach her, "If you really don't want to ask, just stand in front of your grandfather's study and think hard. When he asks, just ask him."
He added, "By the way, copy down the prescriptions for the two plasters and take them back. If you can't figure this out or that out, take them to him and ask him. He'll definitely be happy."
Not to mention Doctor Liu, Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao couldn't help but widen their eyes with an expression of disbelief.
As Zheng Gu listened, he felt that this behavior was very familiar. After all, wasn't it the same when his master first arrived at Jishiditang in the capital last year?
Not only did she like to worry in front of Dr. Ding, she also liked to worry at the Baohe Clinic next door. After a long time, she became familiar with the doctor next door through these visits.
Seeing Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao's incredible expressions, Man Bao said, "You should learn from them too. Skills have to be learned by yourself."
Zheng Gu couldn't help but whisper, "Isn't this too shameless?"
Zhou Liru, standing by, disagreed, saying, "How can you be considered shameless, aunt? No, Master also taught them something. This is called mutual benefit. Besides, isn't it normal to ask when you don't understand?"
Not only Zheng Gu, but also Zheng Shao and Dr. Liu all looked bewildered, "Is this normal?"
The aunt and niece nodded vigorously. Zhou Liru asked curiously, "When you're farming, don't you know whether it's better to sow the beans one by one or two by two?"
Three people: "...We don't farm."
Zhou Liru was silent for a moment and then asked, "Aren't they all the same?"
The three of them shook their heads together. Manbao turned around and said to Zhou Liru, "You don't understand. People outside take craftsmanship very seriously. It's different from how we are in the village. I'll tell you more later."
In Qili Village, basically no skills are kept secret. For example, Xiao Qian's cooking skills are something she teaches her family members whenever they want to learn, and she also never hides them even when her neighbors ask about them.
Everyone will communicate with each other about whose rice is growing particularly well this year, and who has harvested the most wheat this year, and how they did it.
Xiao Qianshi learned how to make tofu. When people from the village came to ask her about it, she would never hide it. Some people who really couldn't learn it would ask her to make tofu with them. Everyone would contribute beans and labor, and the tofu would be distributed to each family.
If you are really lazy and don't want to put in the effort, then just exchange beans for tofu, it's not expensive anyway.
When Manbao was young, there were many things she couldn’t understand, but as she gained more experience, she was able to understand the views of her parents and brothers.
In their opinion, these skills are not very technical and not difficult to learn, so there is no need to hide them from others.
But some skills are different.
For example, accounting and being a doctor require huge amounts of time, energy and money, so such skills cannot be easily passed on.
But Manbao, who has been able to learn endless knowledge from the encyclopedia at a very low cost since childhood, does not think that knowledge should be hidden like this. Moreover, Teacher Mo also said that academic progress requires communication.
Even Mr. Lian Zhuang said that only by discussing the Tao can the Tao be taken a step further.
Although she knew it, Manbao didn't agree, so she kept communicating in her own way.
Zhou Liru had never learned these things. Like Zhou Man, she lived in a simple environment and didn't quite understand these things.
See you tomorrow
