After crossing the border, I rely on craftsmanship to eat

The carriage passed through the lively street scene, passed through the quiet country road, and finally stopped in front of a village.

Dong Chuanlin raised the curtain and looked out. It was more like a cage than a village.

It is tightly surrounded by mud walls on three sides, with a big mountain behind it, and the exit guards are heavily guarded.

Before coming here, Uncle Wang taught him the rules of this pharmacy a little bit.

The meaning of the words is that pharmaceutical technology is the key to the survival of a pharmaceutical company. People who work in a pharmaceutical office cannot go out at will.If you need to buy things, you can report to the steward, and he will send someone to bring them in.

What Uncle Wang wanted to tell Dong Chuanlin was that if you have nothing to do, don’t try to sneak out to play. The pharmaceutical village can meet all your needs and is very humane.

Dong Chuanlin was a little shocked after hearing this. This is an important place for scientific research, so the technological achievements are not spread and they are directly grasped from the source.He didn't know whether to be happy and learn the craft without worry, or to be sad and locked in a cage like a bird.

After the carriage drove into the village, it kicked and pedaled for a while, and then the driver let out a long sigh to stabilize the horse.

Dong Chuanlin looked at Uncle Wang with blank eyes, the shopkeeper Yin was still drooping his brows and dozed off so he couldn't be disturbed, and the only person he could ask for help was Steward Wang.

Uncle Wang called softly: "Master, we are here."

Shopkeeper Yin slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the bewildered Dong Chuanlin, then frowned and raised his arms.After telling her daughter that she was going out last night, she cried and made noises, and took a long time to coax her to rest.The coachman tried his best to drive smoothly, but he still wobbled and couldn't sleep well.

Uncle Wang nodded in understanding, led Dong Chuanlin out of the carriage, and after a few words with the driver, the carriage continued to drive in.

Uncle Wang introduced while walking.

This village is called Daping Village. It was taken over by Yicaotang five years ago. All the original villagers were moved out, and after re-planning and construction, it became a pharmaceutical village.There is a clear division of labor in the village, with one side being the living area and the other side being the working area.

The living area is mainly to solve the problem of board and lodging.Many senior pharmaceutical workers brought their families with them. The wives stayed at home to take care of the work, while the husbands went to work in the pharmacy.There is also a stove house and some fields next to the house, where you can cook and grow some easy-to-live vegetables.Meat can be reported to the boss for unified purchase.

People like Dong Chuanlin who do not have family members and work alone can share a room with two or three people. They can also cook and grow vegetables.

After getting to know him all the way, Dong Chuanlin couldn't help admiring Yin's foresight from the bottom of his heart.

The quality and appearance of medicinal materials is the foundation of the medicine business, and the quality and appearance depend on the production process, which is obtained from the experience of the master pharmacists.

Build a comfortable living environment, arrange for the family members of the pharmacist, so that the pharmacist can work for Yicaotang with peace of mind, without any worries.The pharmaceutical workers work with peace of mind, and the medicinal materials are guaranteed.

Such a foresight is enough for Yicaotang to stand for another hundred years.

After strolling around the living area, Uncle Wang took Dong Chuanlin into the complex and busy work area with ease.

The houses in the working area are mostly small and scattered, and the best place in the middle with sufficient light is the medicine drying area.The ground and the bamboo sieve are neatly covered with all kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, and the medicine workers are tirelessly turning them in an orderly manner.

After the two walked in, there was a sound like chopping vegetables from the room on one side, and the smoky smell of burning fire came from the room on the other side.

"The room on the left is responsible for the cutting of medicinal materials, and the room on the right is responsible for the processing of medicinal materials. Different divisions of labor are also responsible for different medicinal workers. I will take you to meet the master here, and he will assign you to a suitable place to learn the craft."

Uncle Wang pointed to both sides and explained.

Dong Chuanlin frowned and asked, "How do you know what job I'm suitable for?"

Uncle Wang led him while walking and talking.

"Yi Cao Tang recruits a group of young pharmacists every year. First, the old pharmacists will teach the basic rules of pharmacy, and then they will be assigned to the two sides to learn briefly. After contacting them, they will know everything."

Dong Chuanlin is very familiar with the arrangement of this process. It is like taking a physical education class. First, I will briefly explain the basics of basketball and football, and then I will teach you two simple tricks. Whether you choose basketball or football is up to you.

However, Dong Chuanlin had never been in contact with medicinal materials. At most, he saw the Ganoderma lucidum picked by Han Song while hunting, and the herbs picked by the roadside for minor injuries and pains.

If you deal with medicinal materials in a serious manner, you may only have to look at them a few more times when helping to decoct them.

Dong Chuanlin was a little worried. Although it was unlikely that both sides could learn well, it was better to ask clearly in advance.

"Then... I mean what if, what if I don't fit both sides after studying? Should I just pack up and go home?"

Facing Dong Chuanlin's suspicious and timid eyes, Uncle Wang laughed heartily twice.

"Of course not. In addition to cutting and processing, you can also be a medicine picker and sunbatter, or sweep the floor and cook. As long as you enter the Coix Cottage and stay sincerely without making a big mistake, you can find a job. , it’s just that the wages and treatment are different.”

Dong Chuanlin's eyes widened. Did he hear correctly?Can you stay only if you enter Yicaotang without making mistakes?Now he can understand why Dong Guangcheng and Liu Shi couldn't believe it when he said he would come to Yicaotang to learn skills.

The big pie that fell from the sky happened to fall on his head!

Does this mean that as long as he lives in peace and makes no mistakes, he can stay in Yicao Tang without worrying about making a living?

Anyway, it's a hundred-year-old medicine shop, and the wages and treatment are not so bad, even if it's just a medicine drying worker, it can be regarded as a serious job in Yicao Tang, so it won't be embarrassing.

Dong Chuanlin breathed a sigh of relief, it would be worthwhile to be a bird in a cage to protect Dong Guangcheng and Liu Shi from harsh words from outsiders, presumably the original spirit in heaven would not blame him for this matter.

Repressing the joy in his heart, Dong Chuanlin said sincerely: "It's no wonder that people outside are trying so hard to work in Yicao Tang. Such good treatment should work hard. I'm afraid my luck will be spent on it."

The failure to learn woodcarving skills left a slight scar in his heart. He once suspected that he was picky and not diligent enough to suffer this twists and turns. He didn't expect good luck to wait.

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "Dong Xiaodi is extremely intelligent, so there is no need to be humble. Let's go, the master is already waiting."

When the two met the principal, he was taking notes.After a brief greeting with him, Uncle Wang introduced Dong Chuanlin to the chief, and then left with an excuse.

The principal looked Dong Chuanlin up and down for a while, and said.

"Look at your small body, you just came out of school. I'm much older than you, so call me Uncle Qin. We are a family when we come to Daping Village. Let's go, I'll take you to the house and put down your bags first."

Uncle Qin was amiable, and when the medical workers greeted him on the way, he responded cheerfully, and did not forget to introduce Dong Chuanlin in detail.The kind words made Dong Chuanlin put down his guard, and he would raise doubts about what he didn't understand.

Stepping into the living area, what catches the eye is a long string of neatly dried beans.Beans are bundled into bundles in twos and threes, and they are densely stacked on the bamboo poles.

He had discovered it when he was hanging out with Uncle Wang earlier, and he was still thinking, even if the beans in the vegetable market are cheap and cost-effective, there is no need to buy so many at once.

Uncle Qin couldn't help laughing after hearing his doubts, and said mysteriously: "Tomorrow you will know the intention."

Dong Chuanlin secretly poked and rolled his eyes in his heart, it's just beans and still need to be tricked?Why not eat it.
