I Am Xianfan

Chapter 24: Nothing, I will plant my own medicine!

     Su Chen came to the Handyman Hall to report.

   The Misty Court compound is at the foot of the mountain on the edge of Yaowang Mountain Villa, next to the maidservant and the maid’s maid’s yard.

   In the compound, the houses are low and dilapidated, shabby and crude, full of weeds, and in disrepair for a long time. In the corners of the courtyard, some rusty hoes, axes, saws and other broken tools can be seen everywhere.

   Seeing the desolate and poor look of the handyman compound, Su Chen was stunned for a while, and his heart was cold.

   It is said that the Yaowang Gang is one of the four big gangs in Wu County and monopolizes the business of medicinal materials and medicine gardens in the 13 counties of Wu County. Any pharmacist in Gusu County is a rich man.

   But from the situation in front of him, it was obvious that the fat water could not flow into the handyman's hall.

   Just looking at the downfall and shabbyness of this Tangkou compound, it can be seen that the handyman disciple's status in the Medicine King Gang is almost the same as that of the servant maids.

   Entering the compound, Su Chen quickly met dozens of outer disciples who were eliminated like him, all of them looked depressed, and all the handyman disciples were silent, unspeakably sad and sad.

They are all thirteen and four-year-old juveniles of youth and enthusiasm. They only learned the entry-level martial arts and medicinal skills in the Yaowang Gang for half a year. The treasurer's dream has been completely ruined early.

   Now, they are now the lowest-level handyman disciples of the Medicine King Gang. They only have the name of a Medicine King Gang disciple, and they are barely higher than the civilians in Gusu County.

Although    was eliminated, the handyman cousin also has an advantage, that is, from now on, he can receive wages for his work.

   "I worked more in the handyman hall to earn some copper, and then I went to the library to buy martial arts books and medicine books. Even without the master's teaching, I can continue to study by myself.

   A Chou went to Tianyingmen to learn martial arts, I can't be ashamed of lagging behind. When I save the money, I will learn a real martial art, and I will go to the world with A Chou in the future! "

   Su Chen secretly cheered on himself.

   Many people in the yard are queuing to receive handy duties.

   There are quite a few older brothers in the handyman hall. They have long been accustomed to the life of the handyman hall. They introduced the rules of the hall to the newcomers.

   The miscellaneous servants do not have regular errands, they come here every day to receive handy jobs.

   The middle and high-level pharmacists and pharmacists of the Yaowang Gang were unwilling to waste their time doing some tedious things, so they paid a small sum of wages and let the handyman disciples do it.

  Although the disciples of the Handyman Hall are the lowest in the Yaowang Gang, they are not completely hopeless, and there are still opportunities to be promoted in the Handyman Hall.

   The most direct way is to improve the martial arts cultivation level. For example, if you become a third-rate fighter, you will be promoted to a low-level deacon. A second-rate player can be an intermediate or high-level deacon.

   If the cultivation level cannot be improved, then the only thing left is to slowly improve the qualifications in the hall, and it may be promoted to a low-level or intermediate-level deacon within 10 to 20 years.

   This gave the new handyman boys a little hope.

   At this time, in the compound of the Handyman Hall, there is a middle-aged deacon with a fat head and fat brain, who is registering the new handyman youths and assigning handyman tasks.

  The elder brothers in the Zayed Hall looked at Deacon Zhou this week with disgust, and they gathered in twos and threes to discuss.

   Su Chen just inquired for a while before he knew it.

It turns out that this week the deacon always likes to look at other handyman disciples with contempt. He is also very harsh on the bottom disciples of the handyman hall. He often picks the wrong with his nose and eyes, trying his best to deduct the handyman disciple’s wages. A watchdog.

  Senior brothers in the Handyman Hall, privately call him Zhou Miyan.

   Soon, it was Su Chen's turn to receive the handyman disciple token and the handyman task.

   "Is there a letter of introduction from the master?"

   Zhou Miao said.

   "Uh... letter of introduction?"

   Su Chen was taken aback, wondering what it was for.

   "Forget it if you don't have a letter of introduction... Here, this is your handyman disciple identity card."

   Zhou Mi glanced at Su Chen, his expression became more and more cold, and he threw a handyman disciple's sign to Su Chen.

   There is an unwritten unwritten rule in the Zayed Hall. If a pharmacist is satisfied with one of his disciples, even if he is eliminated, he will issue a letter of introduction to let the deacon of the Zayed Hall take care of one or two.

   If there is no letter of introduction, it means that the master has completely abandoned the apprentice, and the handyman hall can send at will, assigning the dirtiest and most tiring tasks that no one wants to do.

   Su Chen didn't have a letter of introduction, he was obviously a hapless person who was completely abandoned by the master.

   Then, Zhou Miyan picked a handyman task for Su Chen from a thick book of handyman.

   "Send a letter: send an important letter to the big pharmacy in Wucheng County for Hall Master Wang, and it will be delivered within three days, and the remuneration will be 50 renminbi."

   "Night patrol: patrol at night, guard the warehouse, prevent fire and theft, pay ten cents of copper every night."

   "Miscellaneous: The dining room requires five disciples to do miscellaneous, wash and cut vegetables, and seven copper coins a day."

   "Guarding the medicinal field: taking care of ten acres of herbal medicine fields, weeding, fertilizing, watering, and deworming every day for a period of three months. The total remuneration is 900 copper coins. If the herbal medicine is damaged, wages will be deducted!"

   There are many handyman tasks in the handyman book, but there are also distinctions. Some handyman jobs are simple and easy, and the wages are high, so naturally there are a lot of handyman disciples rushing to do it.

  Some of the handyman's work is very dirty and tiring, the wages are not much, and almost no disciples are willing to do it.

For a job like guarding the ten acres of herbal medicine field in the villa, you have to pick a dozen load of manure every day, watering, weeding, and loosening the soil. It is dirty and tiring. The total wages for three months is only 900 wen, an average of one day. The look of Shiwen.

  Moreover, the guards of the fields must stay near the fields day and night, and cannot leave, so as not to lose the herbs for as long as three months. Few seniors in the handyman hall are willing to do it.

  Only a few new handyman disciples who are ignorant and ignorant will take on such a task.

   Zhou Mi pointed his eyes to one of the missions, and looked at Su Chen contemptuously: "Hey, your mission this time is to'guard the medicinal field', nine hundred copper coins for three months! How?"

   Su Chen saw this task, nodded, and accepted it without refusing.

   He is not too dirty and tired if he doesn't pick a job, he is willing to do it if he can make money.

   guarding the medicinal field has earned nine hundred wen of copper for three months. This is comparable to the amount of tens of tens of copper a month he used as a small fisherman in Zhouzhuang to go fishing at night, and his income has increased by many times.

  ...

   Yaowang Mountain Villa occupies an entire Yaowang Mountain Range.

   Qianshan is the cultivation and residence place of the senior leaders and thousands of disciples. There are many large and small courtyards, so it is naturally lively. The back mountain is quiet and empty, with dense forests all over it.

  The herbal medicine field was opened in the dense forest behind the Yaowang Villa. The location is very remote and difficult to find. There is only a winding path, few people come, and it looks very quiet.

   There are more than ten pieces of herbal gardens in the back mountain of Yaowang Villa. This is part of the source of the medicinal materials of the Yaowang Gang, and many of them are collected from the wild mountains by the pharmacists.

   After Zhou Miyan had allocated all the rookies to the handymen, he personally took Su Chen to the place where one of the herbal medicine fields was located.

   It's not that Zhou Mie took care of Su Chen for fear that he would get lost.

   But because there is a formality, he needs to hand it over in person.

   Zhou Miyan is full of arrogance along the way, telling Su Chen to be careful when guarding the fields and not to damage the herbs in the fields. Otherwise, even if you damage one plant, you will lose money.

   Su Chen nodded respectfully to these instructions this week, promising to take care of the herbs carefully.

   The two of them walked in the back mountain for a long time, and finally reached the ground.

   There is a thatched shed on the edge of this herbal field. An eighteen or nine-year-old young handyman disciple sits beside the thatched shed with a dull look, his eyes are dumbfounded, his hair is a little messy, and he is full of frustration.

   Su Chen heard Zhou Miyan mentioned on the road that this senior was the caretaker of the medicine garden in the previous period. He has been guarding the garden for three months and it is time to find someone to replace it.

   As soon as Su Chen arrived by the thatched cottage, he smelled a sour smell coming from inside, and couldn't help frowning and waving.

   I saw that there are pots and pans everywhere in the thatched cottage, as well as a few bags of rice noodles and salt. The innermost is a wooden bed with a pair of broken straw mats, which is rather crude and messy, obviously it is rarely taken care of. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   The youth handyman saw Zhou Mie approaching, and he stayed for a while before finally reacting.

   A newcomer, handyman, followed behind, who should have taken his place.

  The youth handyman couldn't help showing a surprise.

He spent three full months in this secluded place where the birds do not shit, and he has been with the birds and beasts in the dense forest. There is no one to talk to, and he is almost crazy. He has long waited to end this boring chore. .

   "Deacon Zhou, you are here!"

   The young handyman hurriedly got up to greet Zhou Miyan.

"Ok!"

   Zhou scornfully nodded his head arrogantly, came to the medicine field with his hands on his back, took out a book of herbal medicine books from his arms, and counted the herbs one by one.

   This is a very important handover procedure. After counting the herbs, the task is completed.

   Zhou had a problem with his eyes, his nose and his eyes. For a while, he said that the herbs in the field were wilting. It must be because of insufficient watering and fertilization. After a while, it was said that there were a few ginseng roots in the field that had damaged roots and were injured by a hoe, and wages would be deducted.

   The younger brother kept defending, saying that he took care of the medicine field very carefully.

   But Zhou Mi was still holding on to those minor problems, and he insisted on deducting fifty coins of his wages.

   The young brother was half-dead with anger, but he didn't want to entangle Zhou Miyan, so he could only admit that he was unlucky, and after handing over the task, he hurriedly left.

  Su Chen watched by, and felt very unworthy for this young brother.

   After completing the handover, Zhou Miyan confessed to Su Chen that Haosheng took care of the medicine field, and after three months he would bring someone to take over, and then left.

   Only Su Chen stayed alone to look after the ten acres of herbal medicine fields.

   Of course, every month, people from the dining room will send a large bag of rice noodles and oil and salt, so Su Chen doesn’t need to worry about being hungry.
