OBS Chapter 229 Accepting a Disciple
Chapter 229 Accepting a Disciple
When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. Shang Wan earned the money through his own ability, so he is not afraid of people's envy.
It’s obvious. Shang Wan should report the matter to the authorities if possible and let them handle it.
She is now a major taxpayer, and the county magistrate will protect her for the sake of money.
Come on secretly, Shang Wan is sharpening his knife, come and kill them one by one.
For this purpose, Shang Wan even made a secret recipe passed down from his ancestors and carried it with him, waiting for someone to steal it.
He used power to oppress others. His power was even greater than that of the county magistrate. Shang Wan had not encountered this yet. She guessed that it should have been Boss Zhong who solved it.
The medicines from Lingyao Pavilion have made Boss Zhong so much money, shouldn't he protect them?
Besides, the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion has not yet expanded to the extent that it would attract the intervention of the giants.
As soon as she thought about it, her thoughts drifted away. Shang Wan looked down and saw that there were a few more slices of boiled mutton in her bowl.
Lu Chengjing put the freshly cooked mutton into her bowl and said gently, "Eat it while it's hot."
Shang Wan nodded. The mutton in the bowl was just the right temperature, and paired with Xiaohuan’s secret dipping sauce, it tasted amazing.
They drank wine and ate meat. The three adults and one child had good appetites and finished two large plates of tender lamb.
Shang Wan asked someone to bring two more plates, and took this opportunity to ask Duanmu Kui, "Why did Mr. Duanmu ask me to come here?"
Duanmu Kui's lips were red from the spicy taste.
The little doctor has a light taste, but he is also willing to try other flavors.
After tasting Xiaohuan's cooking skills, he would go to Baoyuezhai whenever he had time to sit and eat the dishes cooked by Xiaohuan.
Yes, the boss behind Baoyuezhai is Xiaohuan.
With Shang Wan's financial support, she owned her first restaurant.
Although she owed a huge debt to Shang Wan, the girl was still so happy that she felt like she was floating, and even her walking was like the wind.
Duanmu Kui picked up a piece of boiled cabbage with chopsticks and put it in the bowl, saying in a light tone, "I want to take Yuanyuan as my apprentice."
"Oh, accepting a disciple..." Shang Wan paused for a moment, then looked up at the person opposite him, "Who do you want to accept?"
Lu Chengjing also looked over in surprise.
Duanmu Kui pointed at the little baby beside him, whose cheeks were bulging and who was chewing meat hard, and said, "She."
Shang Wan: “!!!”
Lu Chengjing: “???”
Yuanyuan...Yuanyuan was so focused on eating the meat that she didn't listen to what the adults said at all.
Shang Wan looked her baby up and down, left and right. Forgive her poor eyesight, but could this chubby kid have a talent for medicine?
Seeing her mother staring at her, Yuanyuan tilted her head and thought for a while, then pushed the small bowl towards Shang Wan, motioning for Shang Wan to eat.
Shang Wan picked up two pieces of Chinese cabbage and put them in her bowl.
"Mr. Duanmu, why do you want to take Yuanyuan as your apprentice?" Lu Chengjing, the father, couldn't help but ask.
Duanmu Kui said: "Although Yuanyuan is young, she is very good at identifying medicinal materials. Many people who have studied medicine for several years cannot be as skilled as Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan has a talent for medicine. If she can find a good master, she will definitely achieve success in medicine in the future."
Shang Wan: “…”
What a misunderstanding!
Yuanyuan is good at identifying medicinal herbs, but she relies solely on her superior sense of smell, just like when she identified mung bean cakes and red bean cakes with her eyes closed. It has nothing to do with the word "medical talent".
Lu Chengjing obviously also thought of his daughter's peculiarity, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
Seeing the different expressions on the two people's faces, Duanmu Kui thought that parents did not want their children to suffer the hardship of studying medicine, not to mention that Yuanyuan was a girl, and the prejudice of the world would make this path even more difficult.
But he was excited to see the good opportunity and didn't want to miss out on Yuanyuan, this good seedling.
What's more, the little baby is cute, smart, and has a rare aura that really appeals to him.
"Mr. Duanmu, this is a misunderstanding." Shang Wan felt that she had to make things clear. The master-disciple relationship in this world was comparable to that of father and son. Becoming a disciple was a very serious matter. She didn't want Duanmu Kui to regret it after accepting Yuanyuan.
This is not good for Yuanyuan's growth.
"Yuanyuan has had a very sensitive nose since she was a child. She can distinguish smells that ordinary people cannot distinguish with just a light sniff." Shang Wan said, "That's also why she can distinguish medicinal herbs."
The smells of medicinal herbs are different. Even some herbs that have very light smells can be smelled with Yuanyuan's super-enhanced sense of smell.
Duanmu Kui thought this was an advantage. He said, "Yuanyuan can not only remember the medicinal properties I explained once, but can also repeat them clearly."
Shang Wan coughed dryly, this was a huge misunderstanding.
"Well, Yuanyuan just has a good memory. She can repeat the stories her father told her word for word."
Duanmu Kui was stunned and looked at Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing nodded to indicate that what Shang Wan said was true.
They just discovered this not long ago. How did they discover it?
Lu Chengjing tried to coax the baby with stories he had told him before, but the baby saw through him and complained to her mother that her father was not serious when telling stories.
So the couple did several tests and were surprised to find that Yuanyuan had an amazing memory. She could remember everything she had been told no matter how long it had been.
This is also the reason why Shang Wan wants to find a teacher to teach Yuanyuan as soon as possible.
It is a good thing for children to be smart, but if they are not guided correctly, the consequences can only be disaster.
"Mr. Duanmu, you should seriously reconsider the matter of accepting me as your disciple." Shang Wan poured Yuanyuan a cup of hot goat milk. "If Yuanyuan doesn't like it, her father and I won't force her."
Although Yuanyuan can become a new formulator after graduation, Shang Wan feels that the most important thing is her child's happiness.
As for taking over the family business, there is no need to start with a two-year-old child.
Duanmu Kui was speechless for a moment, and did not mention the matter of accepting a disciple again.
After the meal, the heavy snow stopped falling. The sun shone through the clouds, making the snow look silvery white, which was dazzling.
Seeing that there was nothing to do at the farm, Shang Wan held Yuanyuan and said goodbye to Duanmu Kui.
Yuanyuan smiled and waved her hand: "Goodbye, Mumu."
The little baby thought Duanmu was difficult to pronounce, so he called it Mumu for short.
Duanmu Kui felt melancholy. He had high hopes for his young disciple, but he never expected that he had a hidden secret.
He also waved and watched the carriage leave before turning back to the farm.
·
The carriage went all the way to Yushu Village, and people wrapped in coats were seen shoveling snow on the road.
The cold wind blew in through the window, and the little baby leaning against the window sneezed loudly due to the cold.
Yuanyuan rubbed her little nose, closed the window, sat back next to her mother obediently, and rubbed her mother's arm.
Shang Wan poked her cheek, "Are you sleepy?"
"Hmm." Yuanyuan used her hands and feet to crawl into her mother's arms, curled herself up in the familiar position, opened her mouth and yawned.
Shang Wan looked at the dumpling in his arms with amusement and asked, "My dear, do you want to study medicine?"
"What does it mean to study medicine?" Yuanyuan looked up at her mother with a pair of big, round eyes.
Shang Wan simply explained: "It means being a doctor and curing illnesses and saving lives."
"Can you save Huihui and Niuniu?"
Shang Wan: “…That’s a veterinarian.”
Yuanyuan blinked and said, "Can't I be a veterinarian?"
Shang Wan pinched Tuanzi's chubby cheeks, thought for a moment and said, "It's okay if you like, but... being a veterinarian has no future. The money you earn can't even buy your favorite snacks. Do you still want to be a veterinarian?"
Can’t be without snacks!
Yuanyuan shook her head like a rattle and refused to be a veterinarian.
