Lin Zhu felt that Dr. Zhang had no ill will towards her, so he took out the wolfberries in the kitchen, "I saw these small fruits on the mountain, red and sweet, so I picked some back." Suddenly remembering that there was a rabbit outside the house, "There is another rabbit." ”

"Can you still catch a rabbit?" This can surprise Dr. Zhang, adults may not be able to catch rabbits with their bare hands, let alone her eight-year-old girl? "I'll see where it is." "Actually, I didn't catch it," Lin Zhu pointed to the black beans playing on the ground, "When it was playing in the forest, it saw a rabbit, so it kept chasing and playing, and the rabbit kept running in fright, and it hit a tree." ”

"Ha Luha, it seems that your luck is really good today." Dr. Zhang picked up a wolfberry and looked at it, "Not only did I pick up a wolfberry, but I also picked up a rabbit." He put the wolfberry in his mouth and tasted it, "These wolfberries you picked are also medicinal herbs, and the quality is very good, if you dry them properly, you can take them out and sell them." ”

"You said that this fruit is called wolfberry, I have always called it red fruit, hehe, I thought it was a wild fruit, it was good to pick it back as a snack, it turned out to be able to sell." Lin Zhu pretended not to know the goods. "Fortunately, you have the discerning eye to recognize these fruits." With Dr. Zhang's explanation, she can take out these wolfberries and sell them openly. It's just that there are some things that have to be consulted with him. "It's just that I don't know how to dry these wolfberries, can you tell me?" As a craft of medicinal herb processing, ordinary people are reluctant to teach it to outsiders, although Lin Zhu knows that these wolfberries should be fine as long as they are tiled and dried, but the specific way is better than groping for oneself.

"It's not impossible to say that it's with you, and the old man can also help you sell it, but how do you thank the old man?" Doctor Zhang looked at Lin Zhu with a smile.

Under the gaze of Old Doctor Zhang, Lin Zhu was a little nervous, "I don't know what kind of thank you gift you need, I don't have anything to do now, I got your care a few days ago, if I can do it, you can just tell me." ”

"Hehe, can the old man really tell you to do it?" Doctor Zhang paused for a moment and thought for a while before saying, "That's it, the old man doesn't have any other hobbies, only some interest in eating, I see that you also got a rabbit today, is it good to eat with me?" "Can you just make something to eat?" Is this a little too easy, or do you have other instructions? Lin Zhu didn't expect that as long as it was so simple, he could get the help of Dr. Zhang.

"Do you think the old man will open his mouth widely, hehe, it doesn't hurt to tell you how to dry this wolfberry, but today I saw that you got a rabbit, and the old man also wanted to taste it, how about it? I won't be reluctant. "It seems that Dr. Zhang is still an old naughty boy, Lin Zhu relaxed, after all, people tell themselves a way to make money, just want to taste it, it is very easy to satisfy." Thanks to your blessing, I said a way to make money, but I just made some food to give you some reluctance, how could you be reluctant. ”

Lin Zhu asked Dr. Zhang to rest in the house, and she went outside the house to deal with the rabbits. Took a knife out of the kitchen, Lin Zhu was still a little embarrassed about the rabbit, after all, he had never killed a rabbit, although the one in front of him was dead, but he still didn't know how to start, just when she was in a dilemma, when she was holding a knife and gestured left and right, she was seen by Dr. Zhang who came out of the house, "What's wrong?" "I've never killed a rabbit." Doctor Zhang looked at Lin Zhu and showed him an ugly smile, and his pitiful voice was very funny. "In this way, you come home with me, the old man asked the rabbit to be cleaned up, and by the way, tell them that the old man is eating at your place today."

As long as Lin Zhu doesn't do it herself, she has no opinion on the rest. So she carried the rabbit and followed Dr. Zhang out of the door.

Along the way, I met a few villagers, but everyone was not familiar with Dr. Zhang, but he knew that he had just moved to open a medical clinic in the village, but the people in the village generally did not go to the doctor easily, and the patience of some minor illnesses and pains passed, and the villagers who worked in the fields all day long had few chances of getting sick. So for the two people who came together, everyone just looked at it curiously, and did not come forward to say hello, Lin Zhu didn't know these people, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to step forward, and Dr. Zhang walked leisurely on the road, not displeased with the curiosity of others, but walked all the way with a smile. Although Lin Zhu thought that Dr. Zhang should be from a good background and have status, he didn't expect him to be so approachable.

Just as Lin Zhu was wondering what the origin of this old doctor Zhang was, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. "Doctor Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you here, you are going to collect medicine again." It turned out to be Lin Changqing, the village head, and when Lin Zhu saw the person who came, he was about to say hello first, and Lin Changqing, who found Lin Zhu, was even more curious about the two of them walking together. "Xiaozhu, you are also here, do you know Dr. Zhang?"

"It's the village chief, the old man went to the mountains to collect some medicine, and when he was thirsty, he begged for saliva from her, and just in time for her to get a rabbit, he cheekily wanted to try it at her." Seeing that Dr. Zhang seemed to be familiar with the village chief, Lin Zhu did not hide it, "Uncle Lin, I was sick a few days ago, and Dr. Zhang cured me, and today I was lucky to pick up a rabbit on the mountain, please Dr. Zhang don't dislike it, try it." ”

"Xiaozhu's craftsmanship is good, Dr. Zhang is blessed." Lin Changqing was deeply impressed by Lin Zhu's kitchen skills. "Really? It seems that the village chief has tasted it, and it seems that the old man's luck is also good. From Lin Zhu looking for peppercorns and star anise from him, Dr. Zhang guessed that Lin Zhu should know some kitchen skills, but he didn't expect Lin Changqing to not only eat but also respect her.

"In that case, why don't you ask the village chief to come with you?" Doctor Zhang asked Lin Zhu's opinion, saw her nodding, and said to the village chief: "It just so happens that the old man still has a jar of good wine, and the village chief also came to taste it." "Dr. Zhang's good wine must be extraordinary, but I am disrespectful."

Lin Changqing happily agreed to go together, and after asking why Lin Zhu came, he took the initiative to take care of the rabbit, afraid that Lin Zhu would not be able to do it alone, so he asked her to call Aunt Li over, because it was with Doctor Zhang, so he didn't let Ruyu come over.

So Dr. Zhang and village chief Lin Changqing went to get wine, and Aunt Li and Lin Zhu went home to prepare.

On the way back, Aunt Li also asked how Lin Zhu met Dr. Zhang, Lin Zhu also told the truth, and by the way, she also asked Aunt Li if she knew the origin of Dr. Zhang, and Mrs. Li only knew that Dr. Zhang came from a big place, and she didn't know the specific origin, and the village chief Lin Changqing also specially told them to treat Dr. Zhang well, not to be rude, but nothing else. This shows that Dr. Zhang's background is extraordinary.

When Lin Zhu and Aunt Li returned home, they originally wanted to wait for the village chief to come over before cleaning up the rabbit, but they didn't expect that Aunt Li could also do it, and they would wash and peel the rabbit clean, and even the rabbit skin said that they could find someone to help get it right. This saves Lin Zhu a lot of trouble.

Because of the limited materials, Lin Zhu decided to cook the rabbit by simmering it, first cutting it into pieces, soaking it in water for a period of time, soaking the blood in the meat, and then removing it and draining it for later use. I also took some green onions from the vegetable patch in the front yard, and washed them and cut them into sections for later use. There are soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, etc. in the kitchen, as well as Sichuan pepper, star anise, ginger and the like, Lin Zhu took them all out and prepared them.

Aunt Li, who is also in charge of the kitchen at home on weekdays, was secretly surprised when she saw so many things prepared by Lin Zhu, no wonder the ribs she made last time were so delicious, just looking at these ingredients, she also knew that it took a lot of effort, in the end, the Wang family came out from everyone, and trained Lin Zhu to be so superb, Aunt Li thought that Lin Zhu learned it from the Wang family. Looking at Aunt Li's appearance, Lin Zhu could also guess her thoughts, in her opinion, this was the best, with the reason that Aunt Li made up in her brain, she didn't have to bother to find all kinds of excuses for herself to explain where she learned her cooking skills.

Because there were really no vegetables at home, Aunt Li took the initiative to say that she had planted some beans and eggplant cucumbers at home, so Lin Zhu asked Aunt Li to pick some back, preparing to make another dry fried beans and a braised eggplant, and then a cucumber. It's pretty much the same to make a soup out of the radish at home. This is also the limit of what Lin Zhu can prepare. Rabbit meat and eggs should not be eaten together, so when Aunt Li proposed to make a fried egg like last time, she politely refused.

After a while, Dr. Zhang and the village chief Lin Changqing also came over, the village chief was still carrying a small jar of wine in his hand, Lin Zhu stepped forward to ask for some, about one or two, when simmering rabbit meat, add some liquor, can remove the fishy smell of rabbit meat, but also make it better taste.

Lin Zhu first boiled a pot of water, put the rabbit meat soaked in blood water and drained into it, blanched, removed the dirt and impurities, and then fished it out and drained. After washing the pot, pour in the water, put the rabbit meat in, and at the same time put the green onion and ginger, Sichuan pepper star anise and various seasonings into the pot together, add the wine that was just coming, and then simmer in the pot for half an hour. In order to make the rabbit meat more delicious, Lin Zhu deliberately added some sugar.

Because of the long cooking time, the rabbit meat is particularly crispy. After cooking, it was served, and the leftovers were not particularly laborious, so it didn't take long to be served. Four dishes and one soup, fragrant and attractive. Because it was inconvenient to eat at the same table with Dr. Zhang and the village chief, Lin Zhu kept one dish each.

When Dr. Zhang saw the dishes on the table, he said to Lin Changqing very happily: "It seems that what you said is good, Xiaozhu's craftsmanship is indeed very good." Come, you can also taste the old man's wine, and you will definitely be able to enjoy it today. ”

The two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, you came and went, and the food was very happy. After Lin Zhu and Aunt Li cleaned up the kitchen, they also had lunch.
