"Hehe, you still think your chicken is a treasure? Okay, it's a big deal that I won't eat it, and I want to think of my secret recipe? No way! The old Chinese medicine doctor said with a stern expression of righteous indignation.

Pull it down, if you like to eat it or not, Lao Tzu is too lazy to pay attention to you! Xiao Qiang deliberately pretended not to see the pretending to continue roasting the pheasant, and did not say yes or disagree, the troublesome old Chinese medicine doctor stood there embarrassed, smelling the fragrant chicken and his stomach began to growl uncontrollably. He can also see that this stinky boy is entertaining him, deliberately seducing!

"This young lady, you see, you still want my secret recipe, but you don't even want this bit of roast chicken, it's really insincere." The old Chinese medicine doctor swallowed his saliva, looked at the roast chicken that was roasted to golden brown and exuded infinite fragrance, and his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say dissatisfied to Zhang Jingyi next to him.

Xiao Qiang was surprised to find that the old Chinese medicine doctor deliberately wanted Zhang Jingyi to speak for him, and suddenly the sanctimonious image of this guy in his heart plummeted, and he immediately looked disdainful.

Zhang Jingyi thought that this was the best time to please the old Chinese medicine doctor, and immediately smiled and said, "Old Chinese medicine doctor, don't worry, Xiao Qiang is playing with you, he will roast the pheasant for you to eat, isn't it Xiao Qiang?" ”

In the face of Zhang Jingyi's constant questioning, Xiao Qiang could only reluctantly pout, "Jingyi, it's not that I don't give food to the old Chinese medicine doctor, but people don't eat the food that comes to them, and they have backbone!" You say I don't drink wine, and he refuses to give us the secret recipe, so what can I do in exchange for this fragrant pheasant? ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor blew his beard and stared at Xiao Qiang, and was about to go crazy, Xiao Qiang immediately smiled when he saw it, "What, old Chinese medicine doctor, are you wild vegetables in that porcelain bowl?" Well, we don't happen to have vegetables to supplement vitamins, so I'll exchange pheasants for wild vegetables with you, it's always okay, right? ”

"Okay, good, wild vegetables for wild vegetables, tell you kid, my wild vegetables are not ordinary wild vegetables, the nutritional value is high!" The old Chinese medicine doctor's face turned happy, and he directly handed over the wild vegetables in the porcelain bowl, and by the way, he gave a look that counted you as acquaintance.

Xiao Qiang smiled and handed the roasted pheasant to the old Chinese medicine doctor, which was considered to have completed the transaction. The old Chinese medicine doctor was shocked, and he didn't care whether it was hot or not, and when he bit into it, his mouth was suddenly full of oil.

"Hmm...... Nice and delicious! It's so delicious! The old Chinese medicine doctor took a sip of wild fruit wine with a satisfied face, and said with emotion, "I haven't eaten such authentic barbecue for a long time!" Damn, I can't see that you kid has a lot of bad intentions, but this craft is really good. ”

Listening to the old Chinese medicine doctor's scolding and applauding words, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help laughing out loud, she could see that this old Chinese medicine doctor was actually not rigid and stubborn, but quite humorous and talkative, looking like an old naughty boy.

Biting the pheasant and drinking wild fruit wine, the comfortable old Chinese medicine doctor sat next to the fire and ate and said, "I said that your little couple died of this heart early, I will not be told by you to hand over your ancestral formula, the night in the mountain is extremely cold, you don't want to survive this broken shed alone." Well, I'll stay with you tonight in my thatched hut, and I'll get out of here tomorrow morning. ”

"I said that the old Chinese medicine doctor, what you said is not right, this Jigong Mountain does not belong to you, you said let's get out, we will get out?" Xiao Qiang didn't mind the old man calling them a little couple at all, and said with a disdainful face, "We live ours, you take care of your own, we can't get in the way of each other." ”

"Huh...... It's still with Lao Tzu, right? The old Chinese medicine doctor glared at Xiao Qiang and said, "Be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, you young man is strong and not afraid of hardship, but your girlfriend has fine skin and tender meat, can you afford to stay in this barren mountains and mountains?" I can tell you that this mountain is not peaceful, and there are often thieves who poach and steal trees up the mountain at night, and I don't have time to take care of you, so don't blame me for not warning you if you are shot. ”

"A thief who poachs trees?" Xiao Qiang came back to his senses after a while, yes, this deep mountain and old forest is rarely populated, and many priceless rare animals and precious trees will be remembered, it is indeed normal for thieves to be infested, and he couldn't help laughing, "They steal them, and we don't hinder them, how can there be danger?" ”

"Haha, in the end, it's too naïve to take it for granted." The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled and poured a sip of wine, "If you are a thief who steals, and you suddenly see someone who sees all the process of your theft, he will shake hands with you and call you brothers...... Or is it insurance and safety for murder? ”

Xiao Qiang pursed his lips, he admitted that the old Chinese medicine doctor's words were reasonable, but he was not even afraid of those elusive and extremely powerful ninja killers in country R, and he would be afraid of those thieves? He didn't pay attention to this threat at all.

Zhang Jingyi was silently eating boiled wild vegetables and roasted pheasants on the side, she always wanted to be close to the old Chinese medicine doctor, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only keep silent, but Xiao Qiang and the old Chinese medicine doctor chatted quite happily, but no matter how you look at it, the two seem to be arguing.

"Old Chinese medicine doctor, you said that you are so old, and you have no children under your knees, why do you still keep the ancestral teachings and refuse to pass them on to outsiders? Do you know why Western medicine has completely overwhelmed Chinese medicine now, and even those doctors in country R and country H claim to be orthodox in herbal medicine, but there are fewer and fewer Chinese medicine in China? It is because many good things in Huaxia Kingdom have gradually disappeared because they are selfish and only pass on their own sects and are not allowed to pass on to outsiders! Old Chinese medicine doctor, can you bear to let so many good things in China disappear forever? ”

Xiao Qiang's righteous and stern words even Zhang Jingyi nodded in agreement when he heard it, but who expected the old Chinese medicine doctor to snort coldly, threw the gnawed pheasant bones into the sea of flowers, and said disdainfully, "Stinky boy, don't beat around the bush with me here, Lao Tzu has been on the mountain for decades, in order to keep the ancestral inheritance, do you know why I went up the mountain?" That's because I know that if I were at the bottom of the mountain, I was afraid that I would be killed before I could carry forward the recipe of my ancestors! People want to live selfishly, I am this age, what country and what honor, what does it have to do with me? ”

"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, and you old stubbornness is simply playing the piano to the cow!" Xiao Qiang was speechless for a while, but he couldn't refute it. As far as national righteousness is concerned, he does have a reasonable point, but for an old Chinese medicine doctor like him, who was almost persecuted to death during the national turmoil and forced to flee into the mountains, there is no longer any national honor in his stubborn concept. He is approaching his twilight years, so naturally it is impossible for him to have the same enthusiasm and dedication as young people.

"Haha, you're right, your concept is completely incompatible with me, a mountain horseman, well, the pheasant is good, I haven't eaten so cool for a long time." After gnawing the whole pheasant, the old Chinese medicine doctor patted his butt and got up from the ground, took another sip of wine, waved his hand staggeringly, and walked into the thatched hut.

Faced with the old Chinese medicine doctor who completely ignored himself and disappeared into the thatched house, Xiao Qiang's hateful teeth were itchy but helpless. Zhang Jingyi sighed lightly and said with some frustration, "It seems that this old Chinese medicine doctor really doesn't eat oil and salt, and it's too difficult for us to get him to agree......

"Hard work pays off, he is a stubborn stone, and Lao Tzu has to turn into water droplets and slowly grind through!" Xiao Qiang is also a tough temper, the more old-fashioned and stubborn this old man is, the more he ignites his fighting spirit.

"I'm sorry Xiao Qiang...... I shouldn't have made it so hard for you. Zhang Jingyi felt guilty, she knew that Xiao Qiang had financed Melinda and came here to find the old Chinese medicine doctor sincerely to help her, but now she still can't help her, she is really a little sad.

"Look at what you said, Jingyi, I am the majority shareholder of Melinda's company now, and the person who is most unwilling to go bankrupt should naturally be me." Xiao Qiang smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry, we still have a chance, it's not early, let's rest early and continue to work hard tomorrow!" ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Jingyi nodded lightly, she looked at the lake not far away under the moonlight, and said a little shyly, "Xiao Qiang, I want to go to the lake to take a bath, you, can you help me look out for the wind?" ”
