"Okay, what kind of work do I need to do now?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
The old man looked at Long Junhai and said, "You should change your clothes first, otherwise it will affect the business of the store. I will find you some clothes. You can also shave your beard, otherwise people will think you are older than me!"
After the old man finished speaking, he found a set of clothes for Long Junhai, and then gave him a mirror and a dagger, and told him to go to the back to shave.
Long Junhai gratefully took the things and then asked, "Boss, where can I go to change clothes?"
"There's a backyard corridor on the first floor. You can live in whichever room you like." The old man said with a smile.
"Got it, thank you, boss!"
Just as Long Junhai was about to turn around and leave, the other party smiled and said, "I'm not the boss here, I'm the housekeeper. You can just call me Uncle Fu. By the way, what's your name?"
"Hello, Uncle Fu! My name is Long Junhai! I'll need your care in the future!" Long Junhai said immediately.
"Long Junhai? I got it. I will tell the young lady that you are here when she comes back. You must behave politely when you see her, otherwise you will be kicked out!" Uncle Fu reminded with a smile.
Long Junhai nodded, thinking, is this young lady very powerful? Of course, this is just his guess.
When Long Junhai went to the backyard, he didn't choose any room. He just went to the first room next to the door. He closed the door and changed his clothes. Then he shaved his beard, trimmed his long hair, and changed into a new set of clothes. He felt much better.
After cleaning up, Long Junhai went to the front hall and saw a woman talking to Uncle Fu. He thought that this must be the eldest lady of this store!
"Hello, Miss! Hello, Uncle Fu! I have packed everything!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
"So fast! Quite efficient! Miss, this is the Long Junhai I told you about. This guy is pretty good, right? He doesn't need any money, just food and accommodation! And it can save a lot of expenses!" Uncle Fu said with a smile.
When the young lady turned around, Long Junhai was stunned for a moment, because the other party was Ye Yiyi who bought the meat for him!
"Ms. Yiyi! It's you!" Long Junhai said with a surprised smile.
"Huh? Do you know me?" Ye Yiyi did not recognize Long Junhai, because Long Junhai looked like a beggar at that time!
"Have you forgotten? It was you who spent a magic stone to buy me meat!" Long Junhai reminded.
"Oh! It's you! It's really fate. I didn't expect you to look so good now!" Ye Yiyi said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to Uncle Fu who took care of me and gave me a new set of clothes!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Okay, I think you have good character. Work hard in my pharmacy in the future. If you do a good job, I will give you a raise!" Ye Yiyi said with a smile.
At this time, Uncle Fu immediately said, "Forget about the salary increase. Our shop's business is not very good. I will just give you more dishes when the time comes!"
"Haha, I don't care, as long as you two are willing to take me in." Long Junhai has nowhere to go now, and it's already good enough to be able to stay here.
"Then get to work. I've bought a lot of herbs in the backyard. Grind them into powder first. Each herb must be packed separately. Don't mix them up, and don't let them get wet or spoil. Uncle Fu will tell you how to do it in a moment."
Ye Yiyi hurried to the backyard after she finished speaking. At this time, Uncle Fu stepped forward and said, "Come on, I'll tell you which herbs are there and how you should deal with them."
As Uncle Fu spoke, he pulled Long Junhai to the backyard, and then began to explain the ingredients of each medicinal herb, how to grind it, how to seal it, and other precautions.
Long Junhai remembered these little things very clearly after hearing them once, so he didn't say anything more and just did what the other party asked.
At the beginning, Long Junhai worked very slowly. After all, he could not use his divine power and had to rely on his physical strength to do everything, so Uncle Fu urged him several times.
After a few days, everything became more familiar to Long Junhai, so he was almost on the right track, and at least he was no longer urged by Uncle Fu.
Even if Uncle Fu hadn't urged him, Long Junhai wouldn't have been able to use up all the herbs he'd ground. There wasn't a single customer in the shop! He had no idea why. Didn't anyone here get sick? Didn't anyone have any accidents? Long Junhai couldn't figure it out.
Although he has been busy these days, Long Junhai has not seen Ye Yiyi come out of the backyard. Could it be that she is in seclusion practicing?
At noon that day, Long Junhai was still grinding medicine powder when he suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the backyard, and then he smelled a fishy and burnt smell!
"Oh, failed again! Why do I always fail? God is really unfair!" Uncle Fu said with a sigh.
Long Junhai was stunned when he heard this, then asked, "Uncle Fu, what is going on?"
"Well, it's a long story! Our young lady is very talented in alchemy, but because she has no money to hire a famous teacher for guidance, she can only refine first-grade pills, and has not yet broken through to the second grade. It's not because she is not diligent enough, nor is she not talented enough, but because the young lady has no pill formula, so she can only try to figure it out on her own. You have to know that trying by yourself is a waste of medicinal materials! Medicinal materials are money! If you don't have money to buy medicinal materials, you can't develop a second-grade pill formula. Without a second-grade pill formula, there will be no second-grade pill. Without a second-grade pill, no one will buy the pill. In short, in one word, it's poverty!" Uncle Fu sighed. He was also helpless. He was so old but couldn't help. If the young lady's parents hadn't passed away, she wouldn't have to work so hard!
Long Junhai finally understood the situation. He smiled, nodded, and said, "I'll go to the backyard and take a look."
"What are you going to do? The young lady must be in a bad mood right now. If you go there, you will only make things more difficult for her!" Uncle Fu said unhappily.
Hearing this, Long Junhai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not a big deal anyway! I can help her clean up!"
"Well, hurry up, the furnace probably exploded this time! We have to spend money to buy another furnace!" Uncle Fu now has a headache when he sees that he has to spend money.
"It doesn't matter. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Everything will always be fine." Long Junhai smiled and immediately ran towards the backyard.
There was a strong smell in the backyard at this time, especially in Ye Yiyi's alchemy room, where black smoke was coming out.
When Long Junhai walked in, he saw the other person studying the medicinal residue on the ground, looking very attentive. However, in this case, simply being attentive wasn't enough. Without a large amount of medicinal materials, one could never create a good elixir in their lifetime. Long Junhai knew this before, and he was also an expert in alchemy! So, he wanted to help the other person!
