After Su Qiushi finished speaking, Su Ruyi smiled and said, "Grandpa, I know all these prescriptions. I saw them in a book, and there are many similar over-the-counter medicine prescriptions in the back of the book."
"What did you say?!" Su Qiushi exclaimed, dumbfounded. "Where...where have you seen this before?"
Su Ruyi pointed upstairs: "The study on the second floor!"
Thinking of the medical books he couldn't open, Su Qiushi slumped into his chair: "No, this is impossible. It's our Su family's secret technique, passed down for over ten generations..."
Su Ruyi suddenly felt that she shouldn't have pointed it out so bluntly, and she regretted it a little, but it was too late to regret it now.
Su Qiushi stretched out his hands, his fingers trembling: "Our family's secret technique is actually just the first three pages of a medical book? This..."
Su Qiushi could see that he was about to run out of breath, his whole body was trembling, and his face turned pale.
Su Ruyi hurriedly went behind him and tapped his back a few times with her finger.
Su Qiushi caught his breath instantly, gripping the back of the chair tightly: "Quick! Tell me what's written at the back of that book?"
After recalling for a moment, Su Ruyi recounted the contents of the book at length.
It was a book of prepared medicine prescriptions, containing only the names and dosages of various medicinal materials. There was nothing that required understanding, so Su Ruyi recited it almost without any stumbles.
As Su Ruyi carried it on her back, she noticed Su Qiushi's expression changing repeatedly.
She spoke for about two pages, and seeing that Su Qiushi was about to collapse, she quickly said, "Grandpa, are you tired? Let's stop here for today. I remember everything in the book. You can listen to it whenever you want."
Su Qiushi was panting heavily: "No? I want to hear it! Tell me now! Finish it!"
Su Ruyi sighed: "Grandpa, this book has more than 100 pages, and there are more than 400 prescriptions in it. Are you sure you want to listen to the whole thing now?"
"What? Over 100 pages? More than 400?" Su Qiushi stood there stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, it seems I'm the frog in the well! Ruyi, just tell me. Tell me ten recipes every day, and I'll write them down, okay?"
Su Ruyi nodded: "Of course, there's no problem with that."
With trembling hands, Su Qiushi unscrewed the fountain pen and then pulled a small notebook with a blue plastic cover from his pocket.
Su Ruyi began to slowly recite the prescription for the medicine.
She had just finished memorizing ten prescriptions when she suddenly felt a long-lost burning sensation on the red mole on the palm of her right hand.
At the same time, the room where the merit book was kept emitted a golden light.
These days, Su Ruyi also checks the merit book whenever she has time.
She treated the villagers, and every single detail was meticulously recorded, though she had only written up to the second page.
Seeing that Su Qiushi was still looking surprised and a little dazed, staring only at the notebook in his hand and not seeing the golden light emanating from the room where the merit book was kept, Su Ru realized that only she could see the golden light.
She got up and went into the room, where the merit book on the table was the source of light.
She opened the book of merits and found a new line of handwriting—
In the year Jia-Yin, I educated and enlightened the common people. I bestowed knowledge upon them in all directions. I widely benefited all living beings, and my merits increased tenfold.
Su Ruyi's scalp tingled—it turned out that not only healing the sick and saving lives could accumulate merit, but teaching could also accumulate merit, and even faster! In no time, it was ten points!
Su Ruyi suddenly had a new idea—why not take on more apprentices!
...
A few days later, the news that Dr. Su was going to take on apprentices spread like wildfire throughout Dingjiatun and several surrounding villages.
This is a rare find!
Ding Youliang, the captain of Qingshan Team 1, said that this time Dr. Su is recruiting two apprentices, and each of them can learn for half a year with half a work point!
Moreover, not only people from Dingjiatun, but also people from the surrounding villages can sign up.
These work points were privately sponsored by Su Ruyi; nowadays, the last thing she lacks is money.
She made the announcement because she genuinely wanted to take on a few good apprentices. She also wanted to test the waters. These past few days, Su Qiushi had given her ten prescriptions every day, and each time she gained ten merit points. So, if she took on a few apprentices, would the merit points she gained increase exponentially?
After the news was released, people came in droves to recommend themselves or their own children.
Su Qiushi finally found something to do. He took on the preliminary screening task and even created a special test paper!
This test paper is really effective; as soon as I picked up a pen, it filtered out most of the illiterate and semi-literate people.
Seven days later, Su Qiushi selected twenty people to participate in the second exam he organized.
Su Ruyi was also present at this exam.
However, Su Ruyi did not participate in setting the questions or the specific assessment. She simply stood in front of each person and let the red mole on her palm select them for her.
Unexpectedly, the red mole burned three times in total.
The first time was when I walked up to the hunter named Ding Ermang.
Hunters often take some herbs when they go into the mountains; it's one of their side jobs.
Therefore, hunters generally have a basic understanding of herbs.
Ding Ermang's father, Ding Fengshou, was a very skilled old hunter who once single-handedly fought a bear.
It was this father and son who carried Zhong Misu, who had broken his leg, down the mountain.
Ding Ermang had followed his father into the back mountain since he was a child, and he already knew most of the medicinal herbs there.
But Ding Ermang's personality was quiet and calm; one could even say he was a very well-behaved child.
Ding Fengshou always felt that the boy lacked drive and courage, and was not suitable to be a hunter.
Naturally, he was very meticulous.
Su Ruyi felt that her judgment about the red mole was correct.
Ding Ermang's eyes radiated a calm and gentle light. When he met Su Ruyi's gaze, his composure beyond his years delighted Su Ruyi.
The red lettering burned a second time when it reached Wang Jiaqiang, the brigade accountant.
Su Ruyi was somewhat surprised: "Accountant Wang, don't you already have an accounting job?"
Wang Jiaqiang scratched his head sheepishly: "Dr. Su, actually I've always wanted to be a doctor. I don't want to do this kind of writing and calculation work."
In fact, besides what he kept pointing at, Su Ruyi's two casual presses on his body earlier made him fully appreciate the wonder of traditional Chinese medicine.
Su Ruyi frowned and asked, "Do your family members agree?"
Wang Jiaqiang told the truth: "I...I will try my best to persuade my parents!"
Su Ruyi nodded and continued walking past the line of people.
Unexpectedly, the third time she felt the burning sensation in her palm was when she was standing in front of Shulan.
Shu Lan was delighted to see Su Ruyi stop, but immediately said, "Dr. Su, I know... I might not be selected... I am... please don't consider our relationship..."
Su Ruyi asked in surprise, "You also have some basic knowledge?"
