[Pharmacy: lv0 (3/10)]
Ivan's eyes flashed quickly, and he felt a little more confident.
He first took a small glass dish, a slender measuring spoon, and a wooden pick from the tool bench and went to the medicine shelf.
The containers on the medicine shelf were all labeled with the names of the drugs. He scanned them one by one. When he saw some beautiful words, he paused and then continued reading.
'Sacha Pepper'
Stored in an opaque black glass bottle with a medium capacity and a mouth only slightly smaller than the body of the bottle.
Ivan took a deep breath and held it, then pressed the glass bottle against the board with one hand and gently pulled out the lid with the other hand.
He carefully scooped a spoonful, smoothed it with a wooden pick, poured it into a small glass dish, and then scooped another spoonful.
After he put the bottle cap back on and walked away with the item, he breathed in and out slowly. Even so, he could still smell the spicy scent and a burning sensation in his nose.
This medicine, called "Sajiaoli", is a powder made from pepper seeds. It is more than 300 times hotter than ordinary peppers and has a strong smell. A deep breath of it can even burn your nose.
He had read in a book that a potion made from peppercorns could be used to clean utensils, that is, to disinfect them.
"You want to cheat me? No way."
Ivan weighed it on the scale on the tool bench before carefully handing it to old Orr.
There was a glimmer of surprise in Old Orr's eyes.
He then ordered, "What do you want me to do? Go and make some pepper water to clean the things you just used."
Ivan did as he was told and operated carefully without any problems.
Without waiting for him to rest, Old Orr ordered him to get the "Hudiding root" and "stinky turtle tail scales". Both are commonly used medicinal materials. The former is soaked in glue and can only be grasped with tweezers. The glue is sticky and the medicinal materials are slippery; the latter needs to be wrapped with wet paper after taking out.
Fortunately, they are all recorded in "Fifty Commonly Used Medicinal Materials".
The book also records the special pharmaceutical unit "ounce", 1 ounce is equal to 16 liters, and 1 liter is equal to 30 grams.
Ounce is both a unit of weight and a unit of volume. Different drugs marked with ounces have different corresponding weights and volumes. Usually 1 ounce is around 31 grams or 28 milliliters. It is obviously a bit complicated and it is easy for laymen to make mistakes.
Ivan checked carefully and finally found no mistake.
After giving him orders several times, Old Orr realized that he could not defeat him, so he stopped giving him orders casually and seldom paid attention to him.
Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the following time, he started his normal miscellaneous work. He would help when he was told to do so, and would wait when he was not told to do so.
Old Orr returned to the alchemy room, and Ivan followed silently.
"Go get 4 blue lice liquid."
"good."
"Wait, I'll go by myself, you just stay here."
Before he could leave the alchemy room, Old Orr called him and walked quickly to the medicine shelf.
Ivan could only watch from a distance.
The purpose of doing odd jobs is to learn from others, so how can I not keep an eye on it?

[Pharmacy: Level 0 (4/10)]
After a while, Ivan watched Old Orr refine four potions in succession and received good news.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Old Orr saw this scene and saw him staring at his potion and grinning. He said coldly, "Why are you still here?"
"ah?"
Ivan didn't understand why he came here to work, so he shouldn't be here.
Old Orr said, "No lunch."
"Oh oh." Ivan didn't care, "Then I'll come back after lunch."
He bowed to Old Orr, then turned and walked out of the clinic.
"etc."
After walking a few steps, old Orr called him again, thought for a moment, took out a book and threw it into his hand. The book was wrapped in animal skin and was two fingers thick.
"You don't need to come this afternoon. Remember to check again in three days."
Ivan was happy to see the books. He was a little reluctant not to come in the afternoon. "I have to do odd jobs to pay off my debts. It would be bad if I didn't come."
"Go away, don't get in the way here."
"Okay, I will be there on time in three days."
Ivan knew that he couldn't force it, so he could only say goodbye.
After walking out of the clinic door, he noticed a slender figure standing behind the wall, a brown-haired girl wearing a light green dress. When she saw him coming out, the girl's eyes fell on the book in his hand, staring at it for a second or two before looking back at him.
The stranger, who was about his age, looked at him with hostility.
This left Ivan a little confused.
"snort!"
Seeing him looking at her, the girl subconsciously straightened her body, making her proud features that surpassed her age even more prominent. Without waiting for him to say anything, the girl snorted coldly and walked towards the clinic.
When she reached the gate, the expression on her face changed, becoming one that looked pitiful, and she walked inside skillfully.
As Ivan walked out, he heard a conversation coming from behind, and he couldn't help but listen.
"You are fired by me."
"Is there?"
"have."
"Mr. Orr, something happened at home before, so I neglected the work you asked me to do. I will definitely work hard in the future. Please give me another chance, please."
"——"
Ivan heard it clearly and realized that he had a competitor who was very powerful.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Ten minutes later, he came to another street - Panya Street.
This is the southern area of the city closer to the seaside pier. The southern part of the city is where the commercial atmosphere is the strongest in the entire Flying Fish Port. The Kasha Swordsmanship Hall where he studies is located in Panya Street, and this street is also the base of his father's Giant Shield Mercenary Group.
He hasn't been to the fencing gym for several days and now comes to explain the situation.
Entering the swordplay hall through a side door through an alley, you will see a large martial arts training ground.
"Hey, Ivan, you finally showed up."
Classmate Donnie was just about to leave after practice, and when he saw Ivan, he waved and greeted him.
In the sunlight, his short and stocky figure looked like a short-legged bear.
Like Ivan, Donny is also a poor student in the fencing hall, and the two have always had a good relationship.
"Were you beaten?"
Ivan rolled his eyes at him: "It was an accidental injury."
"I understand." Donnie gave him a knowing look, put his arm on his shoulder for support, and continued, "I'm telling you, I've started learning the Flow Breathing Method. From now on, please call me Knight Squire - Donnie."
Ivan is 1.7 meters tall and Donny is a head shorter than him, so this action seems a bit awkward.
Seeing him sweating, Ivan pushed him away with disgust and said, "Congratulations, Squire Donnie."
Donnie said, "Your words sound a bit strange. I accept your congratulations, but you have to make a decision as soon as possible."
"I have made up my mind."
"Have you figured it out? Very good, from now on we brothers will practice the Rushing Breathing Technique together and make a name for ourselves in Flying Fish Harbor. I won't talk to you anymore, I'm just too hungry." Donnie felt a sour feeling in his stomach and quickly ended the topic.
The rushing breathing method is a breathing method taught by the Kasha Sword School. The name sounds majestic, but it is actually just a basic breathing method.
According to the quality, the Knight's Breathing Method is divided into basic, elementary, intermediate, advanced, and the legendary super level. The rushing breathing method is undoubtedly the lowest level of breathing method.
No matter which breathing method is used, the effect is to refine the vital energy in the body.
Normally, one must be at least 13 years old to start practicing. Starting too early will damage human potential and affect physical development.
The reason why Donny was so hungry was that his training consumed a lot of energy and he urgently needed to replenish his nutrition and strength.
Given his current injured condition, he certainly cannot withstand the consumption of the breathing method and can only wait for a few days.
'No wonder my predecessor was unwilling. The giant frog breathing method inherited from my family is of medium quality, two levels higher than the rushing breathing method.'
Ivan sighed and continued walking towards the inside of the swordplay hall.
It was lunchtime and not many people were in the hall, so he found the instructor Quincy and explained his situation, including his desire to learn breathing techniques.
Seeing that he was injured, Coach Quincy did not blame him and asked him to recover before coming back.
After only staying in the fencing hall for a few minutes, Ivan returned to Panya Street.
"Evan!"
"Haha, we're so happy to see you."
Not far from the alley entrance, two figures came up quickly, looking familiar with each other.
Seeing the newcomers, Ivan's face turned gloomy. These were the swordsman who caused the death of his predecessor, his two "good friends".
