Chapter 329: Chapter 307, Apprenticeship_2

…

Under the guidance of Daohua, some short-term workers familiar with farming quickly learned how to plant yams.

With them watching over, Daohua’s workload was much lighter and she started to spend more time on the mountain.

One day, Xiaoliu went to the county town to make some purchases and encountered someone selling black-bone chickens. Thinking of Old Lady Yan currently residing on Taohua Mountain, he bought two to show his filial respect.

Daohua’s eyes lit up at the sight of the black-bone chickens and asked Wang Manman to carry the prepared chickens back to Taohua Temple. Seeing her grandmother and Old Lady Gu picking vegetables in the courtyard, she said with a smile, “Grandmother, Old Lady Gu, I will make black-bone chicken soup for you tonight.”

The two elderly ladies looked at each other and smiled, “Then you’d better make it tasty.”

Daohua took the chickens into the kitchen and began busying herself.

Gu Jian stood by silently watching, then as if he had thought of something, he quickly turned and went to his own medicine room. Before long, he came back with some stored angelica and astragalus in his hand, “Add some of this.”

A delighted look appeared on Daohua’s face, “Okay, then I’ll make it into a medicinal meal.”

Some time later, Daohua put the black-bone chicken into the pot and left the kitchen. Seeing only her grandmother and Old Lady Gu in the courtyard, she asked, “Where’s the strange master?”

Old Lady Gu gestured with her chin toward the westernmost room, “He’s in his medicine room.”

At those words, Daohua rolled her eyes and couldn’t help walking toward the medicine room.

Having lived here for so long, she had never been inside the medicine room.

“Wow, you actually have so many herbs here!”

Daohua’s eyes widened at the sight of the medicine cabinets and the aroma of herbs in the room.

Gu Jian glanced at her and saw that she walked straight in. His brow furrowed slightly, and he looked somewhat displeased, but eventually, he said nothing.

After entering the room, Daohua realized that she might have not asked the strange master’s permission and stood there, embarrassed, hesitating whether she should leave and start over again.

“What are you standing there for? Come here, let me test you and see how many herbs you recognize,” he said.

Hearing this, Daohua puffed out her chest with confidence and walked over.

Not to mention what she had learned in her previous life, even in this one, she often read the Medical Book and was familiar with various Chinese medicines. She may not have known them by heart, but she certainly recognized them.

After quizzing Daohua, Gu Jian found that the girl knew quite a bit and was very familiar with the effects of the herbs.

Daohua’s eyes never rested as Gu Jian quizzed her. She noticed the colorful assortment of bottles and jars in the corner of the medicine room, “Strange master, did you make all those medicines?”

Seeing the gleam in Daohua’s eyes, Gu Jian felt somewhat amused. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Want to learn?”

Daohua quickly nodded, “With your medical skills so advanced, if I can learn even a little, it would benefit me for a lifetime.”

“Medical skills advanced?”

A hint of sarcasm flickered in Gu Jian’s eyes. How could they not be?

Since the age of three, he had been snatched away to become the Medicine Slave of that high and mighty ruler. He had ingested countless medicines in order to survive, and to stay alive, he had no choice but to study medicine desperately.
