"Grandpa Zhou, Qiu'er has come to see you" Chunqiu directly pushed open the door of the backyard and shouted inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's Qiu'er girl, why did you come here today?Isn't the shop busy?" Zhou Wei looked at the door with a smile, he had said about the shop in Chunqiu before, and Zhou Wei was also prepared, but he didn't expect this little girl to come over.

"Qiu'er came to send a pot to Grandpa Zhou" Chunqiu smiled and put down the small back basket on his back directly, then lowered his head and bent down, and took out the iron pot inside.

"This is the copper tripod, but it is not the same as the copper tripod at home" Zhou Huaiyan is wearing a crescent white brocade robe today, looking dusty, his hair is tied up high, revealing his full forehead, slender and gentle eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Chunqiu looked up and saw such a beautiful young man smiling at her, Chunqiu blinked, her dense and long eyelashes covered her clean and clear eyes like flying butterflies, Chunqiu said in a light tone, and said mischievously, "Then what does Brother Huaiyan think this?"

Zhou Huaiyan was stunned by Chunqiu's words, and then shook his head seriously and smiled, "I don't know either"

"Brother Huaiyan doesn't know either?" Chunqiu's children's voice was soft, tilting his head and looking at Zhou Huaiyan cutely.

"Hehehe, does Yan'er have something that he doesn't understand? Grandpa Zhou is the first time I've seen it," Zhou Wei also joked with Chunqiu.

"Yan'er is not a saint, if you don't understand, you don't understand" Zhou Huaiyan looked frank.

"That's good, since Yan'er doesn't know what this is, then let Qiu'er talk about it" Zhou Wei looked at Zhou Huaiyan with an approving face, and then said to Chunqiu on the side.

"This is a copper tripod, but it is not a copper tripod" Chunqiu said unfathomable.

"Oh, is it adapted on the basis of Tongding?" Zhou Huaiyan is so smart, as soon as Chunqiu said a word, he knew the key.

"Well, that's it" Chunqiu nodded with a smile.

"It seems that the old man has a good fortune today, Dabao, you will go buy some materials and come back in a while, and tonight we will use the pot sent by Qiu'er to satisfy the appetite" Zhou Wei said to Dabao on the side with a smile.

"Doctor Zhou, don't worry, Dabao will go out to buy ingredients in a while, but if you dip the sauce... Sister Qiu'er should have brought it with her," Dabao said, dipping the sauce, and deliberately glanced at the spring and autumn where the old god was there.

"Of course, the pots are all brought over, of course the dipping sauce is essential" After Chunqiu finished speaking, she also reached out and patted the back basket that she put on the ground, "Here is the dipping sauce, I don't know your taste Grandpa Zhou, so I brought two, and you can choose freely when the time comes"

"Oh, that's a good feeling, Sister Qiu'er is really thoughtful, smart and witty" Dabao looked at the small sealed jar on his back, and praised Chunqiu as if he didn't want money.

"Gurgle... Brother Dabao, I didn't say that when Qiu'er came before" Chunqiu looked at Dabao with a wicked smile, pretending to be very serious.

"Uh... This Dabao was caught off guard by Chunqiu's words, and some didn't know how to come back, looking at Zhou Huaiyan and Dr. Zhou on the side as if asking for help, but the two of them also looked smiling, and they didn't want to help at all, "Well... Oops, I forgot, the medicine from Master Zhang in the east of the city hasn't been delivered yet, Sister Qiu'er, Brother Dabao has something, let's go first" Dabao stumbled and ran away, Chunqiu was teased by Dabao and directly covered his stomach and giggled, her Dabao brother is so interesting! Zhou Huaiyan on the side also endured the hard work of laughing, Zhou Wei looked at the two children beside him, and shook his head helplessly......

Spring and Autumn came to send the iron pot just by the way, the most important thing is to come to study, put the iron pot aside, Zhou Wei took the two of them to explain some principles of Chinese herbal medicine, as well as simple dispensing...

"That's right, the old man is fine today, it just so happens that the dealer in the south of the city has a new batch of medicinal materials, let's go over and have a look together" Zhou Wei finished talking about today's content, and suddenly thought of the previous thing, it happened that there was nothing in front of him, and there was no one in the shop, but it was suitable to take the two of them out for a walk.

After listening to Dr. Zhou's words, a trace of excitement flashed in Chunqiu's eyes, she could finally go out with Dr. Zhou, which can be regarded as Dr. Zhou's disguised acquiescence, and Zhou Huaiyan, who had the same psychology, glanced at each other, and the two responded in unison.

"You two don't be nervous, it's just the usual medicine, there is still a long way to go before the two of you leave the school, don't be anxious, don't be in a hurry, it's just a matter of course" Zhou Wei thought that the two of them were nervous, and opened his mouth to comfort.

"Qiu'er (disciple) understands"*2

"Okay, then let's go, Dabao hasn't come back yet, so he won't be waiting for him, he knows this matter, don't worry" Zhou Wei finished speaking, and then took the Materia Medica, where the Spring and Autumn two left, and walked in the direction of leaving the city.

Out of Black Mountain Town, along the direction of Qingyun Mountain, the three of them walked about half a pillar of incense and arrived at their destination.

It is a small village with only a few households, and the village is halfway down the Qingyun Mountain, so you can see it by following the surrounding paths.

The houses here are very simple, the gate is only replaced by the fence of the wooden branch Yuncheng, standing on the fence you can see the scene in the yard at a glance, the village here is small, but there are the shelves for drying herbs at the door of every house, the shelves are placed with dried Chinese herbs, the spring and autumn are short, if you want to see more realistically, you have to stand on tiptoe. It's just that she is still too young, and she won't be able to stand for long before she will have to fall to the side because of the soreness of her toes, Zhou Huaiyan After looking at this situation, he always stood behind Chunqiu and silently held Chunqiu's arm with his hand to prevent her from accidentally stepping directly into the air.

Chunqiu acquiesced to Zhou Huaiyan's actions, and bowed his head to thank him when he was in the gap, and he didn't have any thoughts of being taken advantage of by the other party, she was only five years old, although she would be six years old soon, but she was still a little doll, and because both of them were still young, this kind of thing naturally did not need to be avoided, but if the two were older, it would not work!

In fact, Zhou Huaiyan did this just to feel that Chunqiu was a little tired on tiptoe, Chunqiu is now just a little sister in Zhou Huaiyan's eyes, although Zhou Huaiyan has no sister, but he naturally knows how to take care of his sister, so looking at Chunqiu so that Zhou Huaiyan will directly reach out to help.

Zhou Wei had already noticed the movements of the two, and he just smiled and said nothing, in his eyes, he agreed with this kind of action of loving the same family.

A few people first bypassed the two houses in front of them, and then walked a short dirt road, there was no previous herbal medicine shelf here, and the spring and autumn naturally did not have to tiptoe, Zhou Huaiyan also let go of his hand, and the two of them followed Zhou Wei obediently and walked slowly.

"Look, it's coming soon" Zhou Wei suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the two of them behind him, Chunqiu hurriedly walked to Dr. Zhou's side and looked in the direction of Dr. Zhou's finger.

It was a very large house, the house was like a straight line at the foot of the mountain not far away, the door was surrounded by a courtyard wall surrounded by a fence, and many herbal shelves were placed in the yard.

Zhou Huaiyan, who took a step later, was also taken aback by the scene in front of him, and the two of them looked into the distance blankly, motionless.

"Okay, it's time to go over and take a look" Zhou Wei stretched out his hand and waved in front of Chunqiu and Zhou Huaiyan, Chunqiu came back to his senses, looked up at Dr. Zhou's smiling face, and his cheeks turned red unconsciously, but fortunately, after Zhou Wei called the two back to his senses, he directly raised his legs and left, which did not make Chunqiu's face redder.

Chunqiu followed Dr. Zhou's footsteps, steadied his nerves, and said directly, "Grandpa Zhou, are the people around here all living on herbal medicine?" Chunqiu thought about the few families on the road before, no matter how many shelves were placed in the courtyard, but there were all of them, could they all be farmers who collected medicine for a living?

"Not necessarily" Dr. Zhou shook his head, looked at the distance calmly, and said, "The dealer family makes a living from herbs, and their family will also plant seasonal herbs in the field not far away, and when the time comes, they will be sent to the town's Materia Medica, but if they have just passed by, they are all from Orion, and occasionally if they don't have prey, they will sell some herbs for a living" Zhou Wei carefully explained to Chunqiu, and Chunqiu nodded seriously after listening to it, indicating that he knew.

Zhou Wei had already come to the door at this time, turned his head to look at the two people behind him, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Yan'er, Qiu'er, this is Grandpa Zhou's old friend, he can be regarded as a lifelong herb, I think you will definitely gain a lot today."

"Okay, come in, this friend of the old man should be at home" Zhou Wei finished with a smile, and then directly stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

"Hahaha... Who should I be? It turned out to be you, brother" Before the Spring and Autumn people entered, they heard a hearty laugh from the courtyard, and when they looked at the voice, they saw an old man with a strong body and sharp eyes, who was greeting Grandpa Zhou warmly.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, this body is really getting better and better" Zhou Wei smiled and talked to the old man.

"What do you envy? When you leave, I will give you a jar of wolfberry wine that has been dried before," the old man said in a hearty voice.

"Then I will thank my brother for his kindness" After Zhou Wei finished speaking, he was disgusted by the old man, "How many years has our brother been a friend, if you say so, it is a foreign way"

"Don't dare, don't dare," Zhou Wei waved his hand again and again.

"By the way, these two children are..."The old man didn't say anything to Zhou Wei, but asked Chunqiu and Zhou Huaiyan, who were following him.

"Oh, look at my memory, I'm old, I'm old, it's not okay to be unconvinced" Zhou Wei shook his head, smiled and introduced to the old man, "These are my two new apprentices, Yan'er and Qiu'er" Zhou Wei finished introducing the two of them in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then pointed to the old man and introduced them, "This is the old man's friend for many years, you two can call Zhuang Lao"

"Zhuang Lao"*2

After hearing this, the two of them bent down and waved their hands at the same time.

"Yes, yes, I admire your vision, two children, don't be polite," Zhuang Lao said with a smile.

"Okay, where are the herbs that I collected before? After I finish reading it, I'll let the guys from the Materia Medica come tomorrow, so that you can rest assured."

"I'm not at ease, the herbs are on the shelf at the back, come and take a look" Zhuang Lao replied angrily, and led them to the back shelf.

There are a lot of shelves in Zhuang's hometown, which is expected by Spring and Autumn outside, but when she really feels it, it is much more shocking than the door, Spring and Autumn looked at the herbal shelf passing by, and looked up and down seriously, whether it is lighting or air tightness, it is perfect to impeccable, the more Spring and Autumn look at it, the more shocked he becomes, looking at these shelves of different heights, his heart is more and more admired, this Zhuang Lao's craftsmanship is compared with those who have made axes before him, it is simply a world of difference, okay? It's a shame that she was still complacent about graduating from her Chinese herbal medicine major, and now she is about to be slapped by the cruel reality.

"Hehe, little girl, what kind of expression do you have? Is it something that you don't agree with?" Zhuang Lao glanced back at Chunqiu's frowning movements, and his tone was a little curious.

"Hmm, no, Zhuang Lao misunderstood" Chunqiu shook his head vigorously, and then said with a serious face, "Qiu'er admires Zhuang Lao's handwriting, the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials in Zhuang's family are different, and the lighting degree when drying is naturally different, take the previous chrysanthemum as an example, it can only be dried in the shade, but Huaishan and lotus seeds need to be dried in the sun... Zhuang Lao, these shelves are simply perfectly placed... Whether it is light or light, it can meet the requirements"

"That's right, brother, your little apprentice didn't take it in vain, this vision is really good" Zhuang Lao laughed and teased Zhou Wei on the same side.

"I can't afford to be praised by Zhuang Lao, Qiu'er is only a shallow learner, and Brother Huaiyan on the side has already found out, but Qiu'er is stupid and said it directly" Chunqiu was embarrassed to explain to Zhuang Lao, when she said it, Zhou Huaiyan did not have a trace of abnormality, enough to see that he must have found it earlier, or their family also took this method to dry.

"A hero is a young man" Zhuang Lao smiled and sighed, and then pulled Zhou Wei inside...

Time flies quickly, Zhou Wei saw Zhuang Lao's new herbs, after the identification was completed, he was pulled aside by Zhuang Lao to reminisce, Zhou Wei was not worried about the Spring and Autumn Two, just wanted to refuse Zhuang Lao's invitation, was pulled away by Zhuang Lao with the excuse of a rare time, before leaving, Zhuang Lao directly let the Spring and Autumn two visit at will, anyway, there is only Zhuang Lao here, and he is not afraid of who the two of them collide with.

After the two watched Dr. Zhou leave, they went shopping, Zhuang Lao's family is rich and diverse, there are many of them in the Black Mountain Town do not have, Spring and Autumn is rare to have such an opportunity, naturally it is hard to observe everywhere, such as ginseng from the north, there is here, before the Spring and Autumn also asked Zhuang Lao how he arrived, but Zhuang Lao directly smiled and said that his son went to the north to pull goods for him to bring back, then Spring and Autumn only to know that Zhuang Lao's son is the kind of merchant who goes south and north, knowing that his father likes herbs, Zhuang Lao's son changes back to Zhuang Lao every place to collect herbs, and then hand them over to his father when he comes back。

Chunqiu looked at the dried ginseng and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if she hadn't died, it was estimated that she would have been able to dig ginseng in her hometown, uh... It's not right, she had already planted ginseng artificially at that time, and it seemed that digging it was also a crime...
