Elder Du pointed out several medicinal herbs in succession, and Su Mo answered every question fluently.
Elder Du kept nodding, looking at Su Mo with increasing appreciation.
Seeing that Elder Du seemed intent on testing him, Su Mo stopped waiting for his questions and began pointing out and identifying the herbs himself.
Su Mo was afraid Elder Du would think him unfit for the great task of growing flowers and give him another job. That would be a tremendous loss...
By the time Su Mo had briefly identified every herb in the enormous Medicine Garden, two hours had passed.
Elder Du never interrupted Su Mo's identification, and gained a new understanding of his knowledge of plants.
After a long while, amid the silence, Elder Du suddenly asked, "Do you know how to refine pills?"
Su Mo shook his head. He knew nothing about pill refining.
Elder Du nodded, unsurprised.

Elder Du had only just left.
