Chapter 162: Strange Recipes Through the Ages [1]
Early the next morning, Zhu Yan and Bian Feng made an appointment to go to Shinan Village near Tongcheng, which is a well-known village in the vicinity that collects and sells medicines, claiming that the three-year-old children in the village can identify thousands of medicinal materials, which is also their first stop in the south to buy medicines.
But today outside the gate is very lively, Zhu Yan rubbed his slightly sleepy eyes, and found that the people who blocked the gate of Jiang Nanchun seemed to have seen a few people in the mountain village yesterday.
"That's the girl!" Someone recognized her, which immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.
"Ahhhh Xingye was frightened by this posture, and dragged Zhu Yan straight to the back, "Miss, hide quickly, maybe it's the rogue who came to rob it!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, aren't these the people in the mountain village yesterday?" Zhu Yan smiled and knocked on the corner of her forehead, and saw that Bian Fengzheng was leading people to talk to the first few people, pulled the apricot leaves and walked over slowly, bowing his head to Bian Feng, "Boss Bian, these friends want to come to find Zhu Yan, and they have caused you trouble." ”
Bian Qing shook his head, "Miss Zhu is polite, this is not a trouble, but a fortune!" ”
"Ah Qing, don't talk too much." Although Bian Feng shouted loudly, the smile on his face couldn't hide it, it seemed that what Bian Qing said was not wrong, but Bian Feng, as the owner of the pharmacy, was not as high-profile as him.
Zhu Yan didn't understand what they meant, and turned his head to look at the blocked alley outside the door, behind a group of people, revealing a few loads of oilcloth packages, I don't know what was inside.
"Ah Qing, you take Miss Zhu to rest inside for a while, I'll finish these businesses. Let's go to Shi Nan Village again, I have a friendship with Old Man Jiang, and he will naturally understand later. ”
Bian Qing was a little frustrated. I still want to stay here and witness this big deal.
"Brother Qing, what are those people here for?" Xingye couldn't hold back his words.
"Early this morning, as soon as I opened the door, I saw these people picking things to block the door of our Jiangnanchun, and after asking, I found out that Miss Zhu was practicing medicine in the mountain village yesterday and cured the daughter and grandson of the old village chief, and now they sent people to bring medicinal materials to ask us to concoct. Didn't the young lady confiscate the consultation fee? I don't know where they heard that we were here to collect medicinal herbs, and they in Yulin Village were going to sell us all the elm money they had saved last year. Bian Qing sighed as he spoke, "I have a rough estimate." Maybe it should be as much as one stone, but this is the first time I've seen my boss collect so many medicinal herbs in one go. ”
"Eh, can Yu Qian still cure diseases?" Xingye propped her chin in a daze, "I know that elm money can be made into elm money rice." With a fresh fragrance. The old people say that they will never forget it after tasting it! It can also be made into Yuqian Wotou, Yuqian meatloaf, sugar mixed with Yuqian, Yuqian soup......"
"Snack goods." Zhu Yan knocked on her smooth forehead, "What else is in your little head besides pretending to eat?" ”
Xingye scratched her head embarrassedly, "Miss, eat...... What is a foodie? ”
"It's someone who likes to eat. I also think of ways to make all kinds of things delicious. Zhu Yan shook her head, this girl is really ......
"Oh. Compared to making things, the knife master is more like a foodie as Miss said! Apricot happily concluded up.
"Alas, elm money, the main woman brought it down, nourishing the lungs and spleen, calming the nerves and strengthening the spleen, lowering the evil qi, improving the waterways, and can also treat children's fire sores and scabs, and kill insects."
Xingye's eyes blinked when she heard this, "Miss knows so much!" ”
Bian Qing nodded silently, Zhu Yan doesn't seem to be in her twentieth year, but her medical skills are really good, even Yu Qian, a medicinal material that is not commonly used, she can say it perfectly, it seems that she has put a lot of effort into weekdays, but he also has some doubts, even if an ordinary boudoir lady learns some medical skills, she is just talking about self-entertainment, and it is impossible to be as profound as her, does this girl really plan to practice medicine as a career?
"Miss Zhu, can you take a step to speak?" Bian Qing hesitated, but still planned to ask her about her future plans.
"yes, okay." Zhu Yan admired Bian Qing's steady behavior very much, so he walked down the eaves with him.
Bian Qing first made a salute, and then lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that Miss Zhu is going back to Jiangnan this time, and she is going to enter Beijing with her uncle and son, and Miss Zhu plans to continue to practice medicine to save people in the future?" ”
Zhu Yan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Bian Qing to ask her this question, this question is admittedly a question she has been thinking about for a long time, when she was dragged in by Yuan Rin outside the gate of Bian Mansion that day, she understood that it was impossible for her to diagnose ordinary people in the future, but as a girl who has regarded her ideals higher than a qiē since she was a child, she can't say let go, maybe this is the reason why she can't really accept Yuan Rin?
Someone told her that during school, the overall grades of girls were always higher than that of boys, but since then, none of the leaders in all walks of life have been occupied by men, and the reason is nothing more than that most of the girls get married and have children during this time, and their energy is greatly dispersed, and since then "everyone has been lost", which is really frightening.
"Miss Zhu?" Bian Qing saw that she was faint and distracted, and called her in a low voice.
“…… I will follow Xuanqing's arrangement. Zhu Yan smiled faintly, such an answer is the best, but she will not give up to fight, she also believes that since Yuan Rin can accept her, a girl of unknown origin, she can naturally understand her thoughts.
"Ah Qing, let's go! Let's go to Shinan Village. Bian Feng walked over with a smile on his face, today's business is indeed rare, he originally agreed to bring Zhu Yan with him, but for the sake of Yuan Rin's face, he didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise, looking at Zhu Yan's gaze couldn't help but add a little reverence and gratitude.
"Boss Bian, how is this business?" Zhu Yan smiled and looked at his smug appearance.
"Not bad, not bad." Bian Feng spoke in a very roundabout way, clearly full of sweetness in his heart to overflow with honey, but his mouth was only faint, "This batch of elm money was newly issued last year, it was sunburned just right, and the color was very good, and because the young lady was kind to them, this price was all according to not losing money, and the quantity was large, and this year's elm money didn't need to be collected elsewhere." ”
Zhu Yan smiled, didn't take credit, only joked with him, "Since I can help you, I can also earn the cost of Zhu Yan's carriage and horse catering on this trip." ”
"Haha, Miss Zhu said she laughed!" Bian Feng leaned on the wall of the car and smiled, "But there are many little girls, I can still bring it to Bian Feng!" ”
Shinan Village is not far away, but it is only half an hour's journey away, but halfway there, I don't know how Yongwu and Twenty-four found out their whereabouts and actually followed.
Although Bian Feng was a little displeased, he did a good job of face work, and with a smiling face like a spring breeze, he couldn't see what he had in his heart at all.
But because they arrived, Bian Feng couldn't sit in front of Zhu Yan's car anymore and chat with her, so he had to teach her to stroke the piano by never getting on the car, and secretly told Xingye to keep an eye on it, and never let the two of them have any too intimate actions.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong all the way, and the two were really just learning the piano, and they didn't even have a superfluous word.
The car drove into the entrance of Shinan Village, Xingye jumped out of the car first, just opened the curtain, and was about to call Zhu Yan to get out of the car, when a ball of fluffy things suddenly rushed behind him, accompanied by a noisy voice kept chasing him.
Xingye was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously threw away the curtain, but she didn't know where to go.
"Little girl, get out of the way!"
"Mad dogs want to bite!"
"I've already bitten one just now!"
But the mad dog with messy hair had already rushed in front of him, and Xingye was already frightened, where did he remember to dodge, but closed his eyes like an ostrich.
But the mad dog that frightened her did not rush forward, but in a moment, she heard a wail, and opened her eyes tremblingly, and the mad dog that was still alive and kicking just now had fallen to the ground, hanging its head and not moving.
"This ...... It's ......" Kyoba stammered, completely unaware of what was going on.
Zhu Yan could see clearly that only Twenty-four was standing nearby, and he was probably the only one here who had the ability to kill a mad dog with a secret weapon quietly, but since Twenty-four didn't admit it, Zhu Yan couldn't say it, just smiled, "Since this mad dog is sick, it must have died violently at this time, it's not surprising, Xingye, come back to your senses." ”
"This ......" The villagers who chased and beat the dog were also dumbfounded, but after pulling a few times with the stick in their hands, they saw that the dog was indeed dead, so they had to believe Zhu Yan's statement, "Girl, are you a veterinarian?" ”
Zhu Yan smiled lightly, "I'm just a nameless medicine girl, if I reluctantly want to cure a small animal, it's okay, but this dog is dead now, I can't cure it." ”
"My son ......!" A woman then rushed out, holding a crying boy in her arms, "Please God open your eyes and save him!" ”
"Sister-in-law, last year there was also an old man who was bitten by this mad dog, but for a few months he was afraid of water and wind, and then he was bitten like a mad dog, and everyone had no choice but to nail him in the house, until he starved to death, he dared to go in to collect his body......" The man who came forward to persuade him said lower and lower, and then looked at the uneven bite marks on the child's round arm, and sighed fiercely, "Sister-in-law still gave up this child......"
Before he finished speaking, a loud slap had already greeted him in the face, and the woman was very fierce, crying and scolding, "Who doesn't know that this child is an only child?!" You are so cruel that you let this vicious dog bite him and kill him, so that you may swallow up all our money and house. ”
The man covered his face, a little at a loss, and the few people next to him didn't dare to come forward to persuade him when they saw that the woman was so spicy.
Zhu Yan glanced at this mess hastily, and the carriage and horses that Bian Feng was carrying wanted to go around directly, but it seemed impossible.
"Eh, miss, don't go!" Seeing her get out of the car and go in the direction of the woman, Xingye hurriedly grabbed her and whispered in her ear, "This woman is fierce, more terrible than the mad dog just now." (To be continued......)
