At this moment, Little Six couldn't help but look at Tang Mu Qing with pity in his eyes. It wasn't that they had never been to the hospital before, but that the swindler also said that they knew everything.

Little Six was silently calculating how much weight Tang Mu Qing's small body would be able to handle.

On the other side, Tang Mu Qing picked up a white peony and sliced it with a 'dang dang' sound. Then, a thin and uniform piece of white peony appeared.

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't say anything, she picked up another set of yam and sliced it into pieces.

In contrast, the white peony tablet was only about half as thick as the mountain pill. This was all thanks to Tang Muqing's specialized course of "Identification of Chinese Medicine". The herbs that needed to be cut were different in thickness depending on their texture and medicinal properties. White peony and Chinese yam could be said to be two types of medicinal herbs that could easily be identified.

Tang Mu Qing was reminiscing about the university. Although the shopkeeper wasn't moving, his eyes had already wandered around the room. It had to be known that every time he sold the medicinal ingredients, he would have to spend a lot of money to get them processed before going back to the cabinet. If this person knew anything, he would have a lot of money left.

"The herbs that you cut are mediocre. Do you know how to handle all the other herbs?"

Tang Mu Qing gave the two medicine cabinets a rough look at the several hundred types of medicinal ingredients, most of which she recognized. Not all, but most. " Tang Mu Qing looked at the serious expression on Shopkeeper Liu's face and hastily sent a smile.

Seeing the shopkeeper turn around and walk back, she knew she had no room for haggling, so she quickly said, "I'm working here, so I just want to have a meal. Just give me a place to stay …"

You can pay me back in the month. "

"Deal!" The storekeeper suddenly turned around and quickly said, "Lil 'Six, take him down to change his clothes. From now on, he will live in the same room as you."

A confused Lil 'Six brought a happy Tang Mu Qing to a small room in the backyard. The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a bed, a cabinet, a table and a chair.

Little Six took some clothes from the cupboard and said, "Your luck is really good, shopkeeper. It's rare to have such kind intentions. If it was before, I would have let you off the hook a long time ago."

Little Six still didn't believe that Tang Mu Qing only had true skills and only thought that the boss was generous to her. Tang Mu Qing didn't refute him and just smiled at him.

"I haven't worn this new set of clothes yet, so I'll give it to you first. You should save some time to wear it."

"I know, thank you." Tang Mu Qing subconsciously rubbed the head of the little boy who was about her height.

Lil 'Six was stunned for a moment before shouting out in response, "Is it possible for you to rub my head with your hands?!" Then, he turned around and walked toward the courtyard.

Even he didn't realize it himself, but when he turned around, his face had turned red. After all, other than his mother who patted his head and said "Lil 'Six, hurry up and grow up", no one else had touched his head.

Tang Mu Qing looked at Little Six who seemed to be running away and couldn't help but to say, "What a proud and pampered child."

She picked up her clothes and compared them. They felt about the same size, so she went to the door and locked it. Then she started to take off her clothes.

Although his current body was already 18 years old, he had relied on his inheritance to grow. He hadn't developed his body to its full capacity, which had saved him a lot of trouble. However, Tang Mu Qing also cursed herself in her heart: "No wonder everyone thinks I'm a boy."

The belt on her new clothes was very wide. Tang Mu Qing looked at the belt that was half a meter wide and suddenly had an idea. He rummaged around the house for a long time before he found a pair of rusty scissors. He took the scissors and cut a small hole in the cloth, then forcefully tore the entire cloth along the crack.

She used half of it to wrap around her chest and the other half to make a belt.

There was still a bit of cloth left over, which she had used to twist her hair into a "ball" like Lil 'Six's.

He carefully folded his clothes and put them on the bed. His bag and underwear were also tightly stuffed in the middle of his clothes.

Tang Mu Qing made sure she was properly dressed before opening the door and walking out. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw the well in the yard. Thinking that she hadn't washed up for almost a day, she squatted down by the well and scooped up some water to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

After returning to the front room, the shopkeeper was quite satisfied with the results of cleaning up. Of course, the thing he was more satisfied with was the good work she had done. When it was breakfast time, he sent Tang Mu Qing off to eat dinner. He even warned her that she would have to work harder once she finished her meal.

Tang Mu Qing sat on the kitchen stool and looked at the food in front of her with tears in her eyes. She ate four steamed buns and two bowls of congee under the dumbstruck gaze of Little Six.

The pitiful Lil 'Six only had time to watch as Tang Mu Qing rolled away like a tornado. After eating half of her fill, he was sent to the front desk to unload the goods.

Today, Tang Mu Qing didn't leave the backyard for the entire day. The shopkeeper asked Xiao Liu to carry the new medicinal herbs to the backyard and passed them to Tang Mu Qing for further processing, either slicing or drying. Fortunately, the infirmary only sold a few more medicinal herbs. Tang Mu Qing had also helped quite a bit during her internship, so she didn't find it boring.

She even placed her phone on the roof while she was drying the herbs. She used the sunlight to charge the electricity for the entire morning and only sneakily took it off in the afternoon.

Shopkeeper Liu also came to the backyard several times a day. Seeing that Tang Mu Qing was doing pretty well, he said in an indifferent tone, "Be more serious." The old doctor who was in the room grabbing medicine for his patients also came to the courtyard to exercise at noon. Seeing Tang Mu Qing seriously processing the medicinal herbs, he also nodded his head in approval.

Xiao Liu saw that the shopkeeper and the old doctor were praising Tang Mu Qing, so he went to the backyard to see Tang Mu Qing process the medicinal ingredients when there was no one around.

Tang Mu Qing didn't hesitate to show Xiao Liu how to handle the medicine in her hands. She even taught him many cleaning and sunning techniques.

At first, Little Six didn't like the newcomer, but he was still a teenager. After Tang Mu Qing expressed her goodwill towards him, Little Six started to get to know him better.

When it was time for dinner, the shopkeeper watched Tang Mu Qing gobble down two bowls of rice, but when he thought about the money she had left him today, he didn't say anything.

He placed the copper coin in his hand on the table. "This is your salary for today. Work will be much easier in the future."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper!" Tang Mu Qing swallowed the rice in her mouth as she laughed so hard that her eyes became slits.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 copper coins, what can 6 or 5 copper coins do?"

Lil 'Six looked at Tang Mu Qing, who was holding five copper coins like a treasure. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "I can buy three steamed buns."

"Three steamed buns, that really doesn't seem like much." Tang Muqing, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly wasn't as happy. After silently calculating for a while, she still carefully kept the money.

It was better to have something than nothing. This was the first gold she would earn in this space and time, so it was very meaningful.
