Sleep until you wake up naturally the next day.
Liu Yuhan got up and went into the space to wash up. Her parents had already bought breakfast and were waiting for her to eat together.
"Mom and Dad, you can eat first. I want to go to the pharmacy by myself later. You two can look around and see if there is anything you need to buy. We will meet at the inn at noon."
Liu Yuhan stuffed a hundred taels of silver into Liu's pocket. Although my parents have money, why not give them more? Now we have the conditions, right?
"Well then, Xiaohan, be careful."
"I will, it's okay mom."
Liu Yuhan felt that ancient couples were busy every day and rarely communicated emotionally due to etiquette or constraints. It would be better to give them time and space and let their parents go on a date.
Liu Yuhan walked to the largest pharmacy in the city. She found out the name of the pharmacy by asking for directions: Dejitang.
Deji Hall.
Doctor Liu is examining an elderly man.
"Are you thirsty and drink a lot, have a dry mouth and tongue, urinate frequently and in large amounts, and feel anxious and worried?"
"Yes, doctor, what's wrong with me?"
"This is diabetes. I'll prescribe a prescription for you now. Take it once a day. Boil three bowls of water until only one bowl is left."
"From now on, balance work and rest, be careful about your daily routine, regulate your emotions, and eat in moderation. Avoid eating too much sugary foods and abstain from alcohol."
"Thank you, doctor. I will follow your instructions."
Liu Yuhan walked into the pharmacy and told the waiter the three herbs from the recipe for the drug that Doctor Liu had given her. She planned to buy all the herbs and go back to try to make the drug. The ingredients for the poison were not easy to find, so she was still collecting them.
The medicine boy packed up the herbs she needed. Liu Yuhan was about to leave with the herbs when the door to the back hall of the pharmacy opened. The two of them just stared at each other.
"Doctor Liu, we meet again."
"Haha, Miss Xiaohan, I didn't expect to see you again. How have you been lately?"
"If you have time, could you please come with me to the back hall and sit for a while? I have some questions for you."
"Okay, Doctor Liu, I also have something to tell you."
……………………
Liu Yuhan and Doctor Liu sat down and briefly talked about their respective situations.
It turned out that after the epidemic in Yiyang City was over, Yiyang Prefecture Governor Wen Tianming wanted to send several of their doctors to the capital to ask for merit.
Doctor Liu refused. Although he was old and had no descendants, he still remembered his father's words that told him to stay away from the capital and not set foot in the capital unless absolutely necessary.
He had wanted to go to the capital before but failed, and thought it might be God's will, so he gave up the idea of going to the capital.
Seeing that he was unwilling, Wen Tianming asked him what his plans for the future were. Doctor Liu mentioned Liu Yuhan and his gang, so Wen Tianming told him that Liu Yuhan and others should also go to Fu'an City.
He can go to Fu'an City to find the Huo family, and the Huo family will make arrangements for him. If he wants to join the army as a military doctor, that's also possible.
Doctor Liu had no ties, so he naturally had some ideas. Wen Tianming sent someone to send him to the Huo family. The Huo family asked him if he wanted to temporarily place him in Dejitang.
I heard that Dejitang was the dowry shop of the late general's wife, Princess Lanxin.
Liu Yuhan was stunned after hearing this. It was the Huo family again. What a coincidence.
Later, Doctor Liu asked her about the life-saving pills, and Liu Yuhan had copied the ingredients from Baidu to him.
The main ingredients are bezoar, rhinoceros horn, musk, coptis chinensis, scutellaria baicalensis, raw gardenia, cinnabar, mother of pearl, turmeric, borneol, realgar, etc.
First of all, bezoar exists, but it is a very precious and rare Chinese herbal medicine. While Chinese herbs like ginseng and ganoderma lucidum that replenish qi and blood are common, bezoar is often difficult to find. Moreover, bezoar is often offered as "tribute medicine" to the imperial court, and is considered a "royal sacred object" and is exclusively enjoyed by the royal family, nobles, and concubines.
The ox gallstones alone gave Dr. Liu a headache. He also had to go to other countries to look for rhinoceros horns. Of course, if he couldn't find any, he could use buffalo horns or coptis chinensis instead.
Next, there's the matter of extracting borneol. Liu Yuhan and Dr. Liu suggested finding borneol resin, branches, or trunks. Once the raw materials are found, distillation, cooling, and separation are necessary. This is a bit difficult without the necessary equipment, but it's worth a try.
Doctor Liu knew that she wanted to study medicine and asked her more about her recent experiences.
Liu Yuhan suddenly said to Doctor Liu respectfully, "Doctor Liu, I am interested in medicine and would like to become your disciple and learn medicine from you."
"If you agree, I can provide for your old age. This is absolutely true. Would you consider it? I am a studious student and will be a filial son in the future."
"Haha... you little girl are waiting for me here. You are talented and kind-hearted, so I am willing to marry you. But let's make a deal, you have to take care of me in my old age. You see, I am an old widower and I am quite pitiful..."
"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings. Please drink this cup of tea first, but don't cheat after drinking it. I will inform my family and I will formally perform the apprenticeship ceremony another day."
Liu Yuhan smiled and knelt down to hand Doctor Liu's tea from the table to him.
"You kid, hurry up and get up. Don't worry about the empty formalities. As long as you have the intention, it's fine."
The master and the disciple chatted for a while, and then Liu Yuhan left, saying he would come to the city's pharmacy to find him in two days.
………………
Liu Yuhan happily returned to the inn and saw her parents waiting for her at the door. She happily went to them and grabbed their hands.
"Mom and Dad, I have good news to tell you. I saw Doctor Liu and even became his disciple! I'm so happy."
"Really? My dear, that's great! You finally have a master. Doctor Liu is very good."
"Xiao Han, let's prepare the apprenticeship gifts, go back and tell your grandparents, and choose an auspicious day for the apprenticeship."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'm so happy. Let's go eat something delicious, and then we'll go home."
After lunch, the three of them returned to Fulai Village.
Liu Yuhan went back and told her grandparents and other family members. Everyone was happy for her and her aunt even cooked two extra dishes.
Liu Daling went to the clan elders to calculate a good day for him to become a disciple. Seeing his eldest granddaughter so happy, he was also very happy.
In the evening, Liu Yuhan looked around the space warehouse to see what gift to give to his master.
In ancient times, six gifts were usually given when one became a disciple. These gifts were dried meat, celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, and longan.
In addition to preparing these six items, Liu Yuhan also planned to bring a box of tea bought from the supermarket to his master, pour the tea leaves into a sealed bamboo jar, and select a new purple brush for his master.
Langhao Zihao was expensive in ancient times. In modern times, large, medium and small sets plus rice paper and Haodou pen sets are expensive for several hundred yuan, and cheap ones can be bought for more than 100 yuan.
She often participated in calligraphy competitions at school, and among the prizes were purple or wolf calligraphy sets and rice paper. She left many of them unopened and later stored them in her space.
Just pick one for the master, and add some rice paper. She wanted to give her some medicinal herbs, but it didn't seem right. So, for now, these are the ones she'll deal with later.
Liu Yuhan was very happy because she had her first master in ancient times. She thought that she could finally study medicine well in the future and took another step forward in her life. She was very happy and had no way to express her feelings. She plowed the fields more tonight, which caused her to oversleep in the morning.
