The four dishes and one soup placed on the table are not like ordinary meals, and the ingredients used can be seen at a glance, such as putting some onions, ginger and garlic to season when stir-frying, and you can clearly see the fried dishes after they are plated.

If it were really that simple, Zhao Jingluo would not have guessed wrong back then, and that kind of medicinal diet was also an insult to Zhao Lianhua's craftsmanship.

In addition to the cordyceps sinensis floating in the soup, the rest of the medicinal materials in the dish have long disappeared without a trace, and it can be said that there is no trace of any kind of medicinal materials left in the dish at all.

That's why Zhao Jingluo dared to bet with Liu Chewu, but even he didn't expect that he still underestimated Ji Nian. Even the trap buried in one of the dishes was spotted by the light. It's amazing, it's really a talented country, and the blue is better than the blue.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, I am willing to lose the bet, remember that ancient medicine prescription of yours for me." Liu Chewu was in a happy mood, and hurriedly took the opportunity to remind his old friend not to forget the bet, and his words were full of ridicule.

"Don't worry, I won't pay the bill."

Although Zhao Jingluo lost this competition, it was impossible for him to be angry with Ji Nian. However, seeing Liu Chewu's smug appearance, an evil aura suddenly emerged in his heart, and his eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly said with a smile: "Ji Nian, aren't you a gift for the teacher?" Take it out now. I think, in your gift, even if the wild turtle is given to someone, it is a tyrannical thing, will he do it? Definitely not. Instead of that, it's better to borrow flowers and offer Buddha to Grandma Zhao, I don't think Lao Liu will have an opinion, right? ”

"Wild turtles?" Liu Chewu was a little puzzled.

Ji Nian hurriedly opened the lid of the bucket, revealing the old turtle with teeth and claws inside, and said: "Actually, I wanted to say it just now, but I haven't had a chance. Teacher, I traveled to Stone Village this time, and I was very lucky, and the fellow sent two wild turtles. One is for Zhao Lao, and the other is for you. Grandma Zhao, I didn't know I was coming here beforehand, so I didn't prepare a gift for you, please don't blame me! ”

"What you kid said, I haven't given you a gift yet, where do I need you to give me a gift."

Zhao Lianhua said with a chuckle, got up and walked to the bucket to take a look, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is really a wild turtle, it's not easy to find such a big one now, the price is not cheap, it seems that you can get it in addition to good luck, it also means that you are a good person, otherwise those mountain people will definitely not give it to you." ”

Liu Chewu also got up and looked at the old turtle, he didn't care.

"Lao Zhao, what you said is a bit slippery, didn't I just take an ancient medicine prescription from you, as for letting you dig a pit and jump for me. Isn't it just an old turtle, and I want you to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and if you want to borrow, I will borrow it. Lotus, this old turtle will be given to you, if I take it back, it will be kept as a pet. ”

Zhao Jing's face was slightly red.

"Teacher, I have another gift for you here."

Ji Nian took out the piece of green dragon wood from his backpack as he spoke, which suddenly made Liu Chewu's pupils shrink suddenly.

"Venus rosewood? Lao Zhao, this can't be the one you told me two days ago, Ji Nian gave you, right? ”

"Of course it's not that, I bought it all, do I need to take it out again and let Ji Nian give it to you? This one was specially set aside by him. His kid went out this time and made a profit, and he brought back several green dragon trees, and I earned 100,000 yuan from here alone. Zhao Jingluo picked up a chopstick dish, chewed it slowly and ate it slowly.

"100,000!" Liu Chewu's expression moved slightly.

100,000 yuan is not a huge amount of money in Liu Chewu's eyes, but it is a lot in Ji Nian's hands. Besides, the most important thing is that Ji Nian got it, which was actually earned from Zhao Jingluo by selling Qinglong wood, which is the key.

"When did you learn to distinguish wood? This is not a medicinal herb. Liu Chewu asked suspiciously.

"Teacher, you are wrong, red sandalwood is actually a medicinal herb, but it is a little rare. As for the identification of wood, it is because I studied it with my grandfather when I was a child. Ji Nian did not hesitate to push his grandfather out as a shield.

He knew that as long as he pushed his grandfather out, even if there were more questions, Liu Chewu would be relieved. Because Ji Nian's cognition of Chinese medicine has long been not a level that a student can reach, if it is not for Ji Pingsheng's training, there is no other reason to explain it.

The most frustrating thing is that Liu Chewu didn't even know Ji Pingsheng, and he hadn't even heard of his name.

The Chinese medicine circle says that small is not small, and big is not big. For example, Ji Pingsheng is a big player of this level, Liu Chewu thinks that it is unreasonable not to know him, but he has never heard of it. This is also about to become a piece of his heart, and he also suspects that Ji Pingsheng had another pseudonym when he was practicing medicine outside, and he didn't know anything about Ji Nian.

Now that all the clues have been broken, and Ji Pingsheng has passed away, Liu Chewu regrets every time he thinks that this character has no chance to meet

Sure enough, after the mysterious figure Ji Pingsheng moved out, Liu Chewu no longer pursued this issue.

"Teacher, it's Zhao Lao who has to give me so much money, I..."

Ji Nian wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Liu Chewu directly waving his hand, he glanced at Zhao Jingluo, and said confidently at Ji Nian: "This old guy has money, anyway, if he doesn't bring it in life or death, he will take it for you." Besides, you are making money by your ability, and I won't say anything about you. But then again, I like this green dragon wood very much, and I was talking about finding a good paperweight during this time, since you gave it to me, this is it. ”

Ji Nian suddenly smiled.

Liu Chewu rarely accepts gifts, even if he is given by a disciple, he will generally refuse. But being able to accept it now shows that this gift is deeply rooted in his heart and deeply liked by him.

As long as the teacher is happy, Ji Nian is equally happy in his heart.

"It's good now, everyone has gifts, come on, the dishes are going to be cold, hurry up and eat, eat well and talk about something else." Zhao Lianhua greeted warmly.

"Yes, grandma, you're welcome, I'm a little hungry." Ji Nian picked up the bowl and began to eat.

As a junior, Ji Nian knows the etiquette very well, but while following the etiquette, the appropriate gesture of the cordial gesture shows the respect and closeness to the three old men in front of him, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. In fact, Zhao Lianhua was obviously very satisfied with this kind of move. After telling Ji Nian to eat slowly, they began to chat.

The topic of conversation between the three of them was a patient.

"Lao Liu, didn't you talk about Mrs. Xu's illness two days ago? I haven't heard you mention it recently, could it be that you have been cured and discharged from the hospital? As far as I know, his condition seems to be a little unstable, and I don't know how many Chinese and Western doctors I have seen for more than a year, but I haven't seen any improvement. Zhao Jingluo asked softly.

"yes, I've heard that, too." Zhao Lianhua asked curiously.

"You've heard that, too?" Liu Chewu unexpectedly put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"What, can't I know?"

Zhao Lianhua frowned slightly, and said with some empathy: "I didn't listen to what the scriptures said, and you didn't sue me, because the guests who came to eat here said it." You also know that the people who can come to me have a bit of status, and some of them are in the system. ”

"Who is this sick man? If I'm not mistaken, it should be called Qin Mo, that's the wife of the governor of our Dongzhou Province, and I heard that she is also a deputy director of our Provincial Department of Culture, right? If this kind of character gets sick, that's a big deal. If anyone can cure her illness, not to mention the governor, the energy of this person alone can make an ordinary person ascend to the sky in one step. ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

After Liu Chewu took a sip of tea, his frowning brows slowly loosened, and he continued unhurriedly: "Do you think no one is moving? After knowing this, I don't know how many people began to take action, introducing doctors to Qin Mo one after another, and there were even powerful people in the capital. ”

"After all, whether it is Qin Mo or Governor Xu, their identities are not simple, and they all have a strong backstage behind them. If it is said that Qin Mo's illness can be cured, it is definitely a step to the sky. It's a pity that things are not so simple, if it is really so easy to treat, you can't be a doctor all over the world? If nothing else, even if it's me, I don't dare to say how good my medical skills are, but I can talk in Dongzhou Province, right? But there is nothing that can be done. ”

"Qihuang Pavilion can become the overlord of the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Zhonghai City, and there is no doubt about the ability of traditional Chinese medicine in the hall. As far as I know, those old Chinese medicine doctors all treated Qin Mo, but unfortunately they all returned in vain. Occasionally, someone can give a good prescription, and within a few days, it becomes useless. The heart of the doctor's parents, aside from those identities and statuses, we can't bear to see a sick person suffering from illness as well as death. Zhao Jingluo sighed.

"There's no way around it? Even if it could relieve her pain. There was a strong sympathy in Zhao Lianhua's eyes, and Zhao Jingluo and Liu Chewu, who were in a pessimistic mood, didn't realize why this old friend, who usually had a very indifferent and leisurely personality, would become a little abnormal when he mentioned this incident.

"Actually, if it's just to alleviate the pain, it doesn't mean that there is no way to do it." Liu Chewu suddenly pursed his lips and said.

"Do you have a way?" Zhao Lianhua was a little stunned.

"There's a prescription that can alleviate the pain, but I don't have a prescription. Without that medicine, even if the other medicinal materials are complete, they are not in a rut. Liu Chewu shook his head with some pity, "And it's hard to find that medicine, at least I can't find it now, and after I said what I meant, there is no news from Governor Xu so far, and it doesn't seem that I have found it." ”

"What is it?" Zhao Lianhua looked very anxious, and her tone was a little raised.

"Tai Sui." Liu Chewu said in a deep voice.

Ji Nian, who was immersed in eating, raised his head the moment he heard this word, and his face was surprised.
