"Shopkeeper, the tea is ready..."
As Chu Mu flipped through a book, a young man in a short shirt walked into the room carrying a teapot.
"Just put it there."
Chu Mu glanced up and pointed to the table beside him. Then, as if remembering something, he added, "A new batch of medicinal herbs will arrive today. You and Chang San go take inventory."
"Yes, Shopkeeper. Don't you worry."
The young man immediately assured him.
Chu Mu gave a slight nod, saying no more. His attention had clearly returned to his book.
The Hundred Herbs Hall had three apprentices. Strictly speaking, they weren't really apprentices. It was just that rascal Xu Yuan who felt there were too many chores and was too cheap to hire proper help. So he pulled a fast one, recruiting three people under the guise of taking on apprentices.
