The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 164

Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Scramble for the Apprentice

Sage Apothecary was overjoyed. Just as he wanted to thank his Senior Brother… Medical Sage spoke again, “No, you are in such a jumble. No matter how good the child is, she’d probably end up a waste under your rearing. I think I should raise Gu Ye’er so I can teach her closely.”

”Whoa, Jiang Shitou, you’re snatching my apprentice while knocking my head! I’m telling you, if you want to take my disciple away from me, there is no way! You sinister, cunning old fogey, I knew you had no good intentions!” Sage Apothecary was so mad that his white hair stood on end.

Initially, Medical Sage was deliberately teasing his Junior Brother, wanting to see his angry look. He didn’t expect the old chap to call out his nickname when he was a child in front of so many people. His old face immediately flushed red. He patted the table and snorted coldly, “With your substandard medical expertise alone, what kind of genius can you train?”

”Extraordinary medical expertise! Why don’t you tell us about your lousy pharmaceutical skills? Do you think it’s possible to teach a genius in both medical care and pharmaceuticals with just medical expertise” Sage Apothecary also slapped the table. The two grandpas looked daggers at each other like cocks in a fight.

Medical Sage grinned, stroked the beard under his jaw and said, “At least, my incompetent apprentice can share with her his expertise in the art of healing.” After speaking, he gave Sage Apothecary a look with anger and raised her eyes, as if saying: I have a disciple who understands apothecary. Do you have a disciple who understands medicine?”

”You…you…” Sage Apothecary was hopping mad that his hands trembled as if he was having a stroke. In the end, he finally said, “Do you know Hua Tuo’s divine techniques? Can you concoct Mafeisan? Can you cut a stomach and sew someone’s hamstrings? Although I am not good at diagnosing and prescribing pulses, you know nothing about these medical wonders either! We are even “

Jun Yonglun and his sons, who were beside them, were stunned. Unexpectedly, the two great medical professionals, who together were around a hundred and forty years old, could still argue like children. However, the two old guys spent the entire journey in this manner so Chu Muhua and Gu Xiao were no longer surprised.

However, little friend Gu Ming said sharply, “Grandpas, stop arguing. The key depends on my sister. She chooses who she is willing to learn from. Regardless of how young my sister is, she has her own thoughts.”

When Sage Apothecary heard this, he instantly took on an enlightened front and said smugly, “I was almost led to a ditch by this old chap. My apprentice is the most filial and sensible. She has already worshiped a master, and she has also performed the apprenticeship ceremony. Can she still switch to someone else?”

”We are from the same sect. How can you call it ditching your master and switching to someone else’s tutelage?” Medical Sage was so unused to seeing him smug that he deliberately retorted.

”Old chap, no matter how nice you wrap it up, our Xiao Yezi will not be deceived by you!” The little girl had so many secrets, and she had to rely on him, her master, to cover them up. This old fellow, Medical Sage, was too shrewd and too sincere. With the little girl’s extraordinary insight, she would never choose him. If you don’t pretend to be deaf and dumb, you won’t receive a good apprentice!

The protagonist, whom two leading figures in the medical field constantly scrambled for, just had lunch with the Old Madam and returned to her yard.

As soon as Gu Ye entered the courtyard gate, her dignified posture immediately disappeared without a trace. She stretched out to the limit, twisted her neck, shook her arms, and shouted, “Oh my god, I’m exhausted! Those ladies maintain such a posture all day long. Aren’t they tired of it?! It seems that being born deep in the inner house is not as good as in our mountain. At least we’re living comfortably.”

The maids in the courtyard, who were responsible for sweeping, could not help but cover their mouths and laugh when they saw her series of actions.

After entering the room, Dong Xue helped Gu Ye take off her cloak, took the hand warmer in her hand and put it aside. She watched her leap, lie on the quilt, turned over and over and smiled. “The girls inside prestigious households have been imperceptibly influenced by their surroundings and got used to that kind of lifestyle since childhood. However, I heard you mention something about picking wild vegetables in spring, pine cones in autumn, mushrooms in summer, and catching hares in winter. Such a wonderful life is something this servant yearns for!”

”If there’s a chance, come to our Qingshan Village as a guest. I will take you to the Wild Boar Ridge to hunt wild boars. The wild boars are savory once stewed on a low fire overnight with no seasonings added, just a sprinkle of salt. It smells so fragrant that you can swallow the tongue.”

Gu Ye pondered. It will be almost New Year’s Eve when they make their journey back from Yan City. Wasn’t there a custom of killing pigs to celebrate the New Year in the north? Their family did not raise domestic pigs, so they could hunt a wild boar, cook some venison dishes, and invite the villagers to enjoy it together and warm up for the New Year in advance.
