Chapter 61 Shouldn’t my wife know best?
"Aunt Long, do you and Uncle Xing want to take on some apprentices?"
Song Jin asked directly.
Yin Long understood, "Young lady wants to train a master chef?"
"It would take more than 10 to 20 years to become a master chef. I want to quickly teach a few people who can be used."
Yin Long didn't understand what Song Jin said.
Song Jin added: "I don't need the other party to learn all the skills. Each person only needs to master one or two."
It is difficult for newcomers to learn all the knowledge.
But it is much simpler to specialize in the preparation of one or two medicinal materials.
Preparing medicinal materials is a highly sophisticated craft. It is not enough to become a master just by knowing the process steps.
If you want to truly master this craft, practice is very important.
If each apprentice practices only one or two techniques every day, his skills will surely become more and more proficient.
After practicing for a month or two, you will naturally become proficient at it.
Moreover, by dividing the work among ourselves, we can avoid unnecessary competition in the future.
Yinlong thought this was a good move and decided to do it immediately.
Call the medicine boy in the shop.
Did they ask them directly if they wanted to be apprentices? There were eight medicine boys in total.
The youngest is eight years old and the oldest is thirteen.
Hearing that they could learn how to prepare medicinal materials and get a raise after becoming a master, everyone looked at Song Jin with gratitude.
Song Jin smiled and said, "Okay, go to work. Whether you can learn this craft depends on your own ability."
"Boss, we will definitely study hard."
"Yes, yes, study hard."
One of the children knelt down and kowtowed to Song Jin, and then the other children followed suit and kowtowed one after another.
Ever since coming to Jifang Pharmacy.
The work is a bit hard, but they can eat well, dress warmly and get paid. Most importantly, the boss and the person in charge are nice and don't beat or scold them at will, so the children are grateful.
Song Jin waved for them to leave.
Song Jin knew very well what these children were thinking.
How long can this gratitude last?
Song Jin was not clear.
Because people change, especially their minds, which become more complex as they grow older, just like the Song family’s former large pharmacy, where intrigue never ceased.
But as long as the job is done well and does not affect normal business, the boss will turn a blind eye.
This is what Song Kuan did, and Song Jin did the same thing as his father.
The medicine boy left not long ago.
Another brother and sister came over.
The brother and sister knelt down in front of Song Jin.
Song Jin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two of them.
The thin young boy kneeling on the ground, who was in his early teens, was Lou Ruhan.
Next to him was a little girl of seven or eight years old.
The little girl was very thin, with big eyes that showed a bit of cleverness, and she was wearing the clothes of a medicine boy.
I didn't expect that he left ten taels of silver.
He actually saved the little girl's life.
I can only say that I was lucky, after all, judging from her condition that night, she was quite seriously ill.
Of course, if he hadn’t seen them now, Song Jin would have forgotten about it.
Song Jin pretended not to know them and asked in confusion:
"Are you new here?"
"Boss, my sister and I came to Jifang Pharmacy to deliver a message. Shopkeeper Jin saw that we had nowhere to go, so he kindly took us in. We've been helping out in the shop doing odd jobs for a living these few days."
The days here were unimaginable to the Lou brothers and sisters.
They like the stability here.
No one beat or scolded me, and I had enough food to eat.
But the shopkeeper said that they had to ask the boss's opinion on whether to stay or leave, and as long as the boss nodded, there would be no problem.
Lou Ruhan kowtowed three times and said, "Boss, we want to stay here and work, but the shopkeeper said we need your permission. Please take us in. We will work hard to repay you."
Song Jin looked at Lou Ruhan with interest.
I remember that after I became an adult in my previous life, I couldn't do anything about it.
You might not hear him say a word for ten days or half a month. He looks at people with a gloomy look, and people who are not familiar with him are so scared that they walk around him.
The only saving grace is that he is obedient.
Xing Lun asked him to do whatever he wanted and hit wherever he was told.
The words he said today were more than all the words Song Jin had heard him say in his previous life combined.
Song Jin asked the brother and sister to get up and stay in the shop to work.
Lou Ruhan thanks you profusely.
The little girl followed suit and kowtowed.
Then the brother and sister went to find Jin Ling happily.
Jin Ling guessed at the time that Song Jin had intentionally sent the two children to the pharmacy, which was why she let them show their faces in front of Song Jin.
Lou Ruhan stayed behind to work as a medicine boy.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
His sister was still young, so Jinling arranged for her to go to the drying yard to help turn the medicine.
…
In the evening.
Song Jin went home tiredly, carrying the food box specially prepared by Yin Long.
Enter the house.
I was surprised to see Qin Chi wearing a long gown and black hair, standing in the corridor, facing the skylight. He seemed to be in a trance and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Husband?"
Song Jin approached lightly.
Qin Chi seemed to have just come back to his senses. He turned sideways to face Song Jin, "My wife is back?"
"Yeah, I'm back."
Song Jin looked towards the west wing, "Sir, aren't you going to review your lessons today? There's less than a month left before the government exam."
Qin Chi should have been in the academy or studying in the west wing, so why did he have time to stand here? Facing Song Jin's questioning eyes, Qin Chi remained motionless, pretending not to understand what she was thinking.
You can't let him say that he thought she was about to come home, so he walked out of the west wing and stood in the corridor waiting for someone.
State this reason.
Not to mention that Song Jin didn't believe it, even Qin Chi himself found it ridiculous.
Qin Chi's eyes fell on the food box in Song Jin's hand.
Subconsciously, he reached out to carry it for her.
Song Jin didn't let go, "I'll do it, you're too weak..."
"Oh!"
Qin Chi smiled, "Shouldn't my wife be the one who knows best whether I am really weak or just pretending to be weak?"
Song Jin was suddenly speechless.
She couldn't respond to that.
When it comes to this question, Song Jin is also confused.
Is Qin Chi really sick or is he pretending to be sick? She suspected that Qin Chi was pretending to be sick, but he was indeed sick last time at home.
From the attitude of the Qin family, it can be seen that Qin Chi must have had a bad health since he was a child. Besides, if a person pretends to be sick, how old would he start pretending? But the two are husband and wife.
The most intimate...
While Song Jin was daydreaming, the food box in his hand had been taken away by Qin Chi.
"What's in this, lady?"
"It's food made by an aunt in the shop. She said it was specially made for pregnant women and asked me to bring some back. I haven't opened it yet, so I don't know what it is."
Song Jin followed Qin Chi into the hall.
Qin Chi put the food box on the table, "Do you want to eat now? I'll get you some bowls and chopsticks."
"No appetite."
"That won't do. You have to eat even if you have no appetite."
Qin Chi asked Doctor Jing today.
Doctor Jing said that pregnant women may have a poor appetite, but they cannot not eat anything.
It is not easy to get food for Song Jin in Qinjiagou.
It was much more convenient when we arrived at the county town, but before we could take out the prepared things, Song Jin came back carrying the lunch box.
