"oh?"
Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately squatted down and picked up a handful of Chinese medicine from the ground, about six or seven kinds, and placed them in front of Ye Qian.
"Then tell me, what are these medicinal herbs?"
Ye Qian heard that Qingshan's words seemed to be testing him, and he also felt a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat. He lowered his head and looked at the medicinal herbs in Qingshan's palm, and called out the names one by one:
"Salvia miltiorrhiza, Indigo naturalis, Astragalus root, Sargentodon grandiflora, Gastrodia elata, Achyranthes bidentata and..."
There was a piece of Chinese medicine in Qingshan's palm, only the size of a thumbnail. He could have said nothing, but in order to show his ability to identify medicines, Ye Qian picked up the medicine residue, put it under his nose and smelled it. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment before answering:
"Guanmutong!"
Qingshan finally smiled and nodded to Ye Qian in appreciation. It was true that one cannot judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought that Ye Qian, who looked like a bad boy, actually possessed such extraordinary skills.
Ye Zhi is a girl after all, with a delicate mind, and she took the initiative to explain to Qingshan:
"Senior Chen, Yongchun Pharmacy was founded by my great-grandfather. He was a highly skilled Chinese medicine practitioner. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away early, and the Ye family's medical skills were not passed down. We only left behind the skills of preparing medicinal herbs and a set of Compendium of Materia Medica. My eldest brother...is obsessed with martial arts and doesn't like dealing with medicinal herbs, so he manages the business, and my second brother and I are responsible for taking care of these Chinese medicinal herbs."
So that's how it is. Qingshan looked at the two teenagers, his mind racing: Since these two kids can identify Chinese medicine, they will definitely be able to learn Chinese medicine more efficiently than ordinary people. If I want to pass on the medical skills of the ancestor Xuan Huizi, I will have to accept disciples sooner or later. Aren't these two good seedlings ready-made?
Thinking of this, Qingshan showed a smile like Grandma Wolf.
"Xiaozhi, you said your great-grandfather was a Chinese medicine doctor. Do you two plan to study medicine?"
Ye Zhi and Ye Qian nodded at the same time, and Ye Qian said:
"Azhi and I are taking the college entrance exam this year. We've both decided to apply to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We'll buy the shop next door and open a Wing Chun Clinic in the future!"
Zhan Feng is usually a carefree person, but today he suddenly had an epiphany and heard the hidden meaning in Qingshan's words. He was happy for the two children.
Zhan Feng leaped up behind Ye Qian, slapped him on the back of the head, and yelled:
"You're crazy! The best Chinese medicine doctor in China is standing right in front of you, and you're still applying to the Chinese medicine department! My master wants to take you in as his disciples, why don't you kneel down and kowtow!"
Ye Qian and Ye Zhi were stunned, looked at each other, and both knelt down:
"Senior Chen... no, Master, please accept Ye Qian's (Ye Zhi's) greetings!"
Qingshan did not hide, but accepted the gift from the two generously, then waved his hand and shouted
"Get up!"
Qingshan turned to Zhan Feng and said, "Afeng, Xiaoqian, Xiaozhi, Master doesn't dare to claim to be the best Chinese medicine practitioner in China. Don't be so arrogant in the future. Remember, there are always people who are better than you, and there are always things better than you!"
The three of them stood with their hands hanging down, timidly nodding like primary school students. Luo Wenyuan stared at Qingshan's back, his heart filled with pride and excitement: How come he is so adorable with his chattering little mouth!
Ye Qian and Ye Zhi had become apprentices, but had not yet formally offered tea to their master, so they collected the medicine, locked the shop door, and followed him to the Zhan family villa.
When Zhan Kunpeng heard that Qingshan had accepted two new disciples, who were Ye Qun's younger brother and sister, he was also happy. He asked Sister Tao to prepare a table of delicious food and hold a ceremony to pay homage to him at noon.
Qingshan found an opportunity and slipped into the space.
Ever since she started accepting disciples at Yongchun Pharmacy, Qingshan has been secretly observing Zhan Feng's performance. She can see that Zhan Feng is genuinely happy for Ye Qian and Ye Zhi, and feels a deep envy for them, but no resentment or dissatisfaction. Qingshan once again feels that Zhan Feng's character is worthy of praise.
In fact, apart from not being able to inherit Qingshan's mantle, Zhan Feng is loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, and kind-hearted, making him a very good disciple. Qingshan had long planned to formally accept him as his disciple, and today was just the opportunity to make it three times a day.
