Chapter 308: Tavern
"Husband, try this, this is braised pork made with pork belly."
"Isn't this braised pork made with pork belly?" Gu Changfeng picked up a piece and looked at it, but he didn't see any difference.
"The husband is the number one in managing government affairs, and this cooking is a layman. Although these pork belly are all called pork belly, meat is different from meat. ”
"What's the difference?"
"This pork belly is divided into upper five flowers, middle five flowers, and lower five flowers. This is a five-flower, with more fat and less lean meat, and it tastes more chai. This pork belly is the thickest pork belly in the pig's body, and because it is thick, it will have a slightly harder taste. The lower pork belly is the belly of the pig, and it is also the pork belly that is just right between fat and thin, and it tastes better, suitable for stir-frying, and is also suitable for making pork belly. The plate of pork belly in front of us is the lower pork belly, and the shopkeeper of this tavern is still very kind. ”
"Thank you, madam, although our restaurant is small, but the things are the most real. It's what it is, and it's not fake. A young man dressed as a cook came over with a plate of freshly fried vegetables: "Look at Madame's dress, it doesn't look like the kind of person who needs to cook often." Madame was able to tell the pork belly, which surprised me, the little shopkeeper. ”
"I don't need to cook often, but I'm greedy and a little picky about what I eat. The shopkeeper's green vegetables were also picked in the morning. ”
"I just picked it. Madame, you see, the green outside is the vegetable garden of our tavern. This dish was served by my mother herself, and she was also picked by herself, and they were all earthy before they were put into the pot. Madame try it, my craft is still good. ”
"Yes, there is no astringency like green vegetables in the mouth, and there is no earthy smell." After Yan Suwen tasted it, he gave the tavern shopkeeper an approving smile.
"Madame thinks it's delicious, our tavern, the picture is recognized by a guest." The young shopkeeper grinned: "My mother said, saying that this food is not only to taste, but also to eat the taste behind the food." If you want to make the taste behind the food, you can't just stir-fry and cook, you have to be careful. This dish can not be made much, but every dish made must be serious and careful. The two of you eat first, and I'm going to have to stir-fry. ”
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, he heard a "bang" on the ground. Yan Suwen stopped his chopsticks, and looked at the shopkeeper's line of sight, only to see an old man of about fifty hiding in the corner, trying his best to cover his face, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.
"Ma'am." Gu Changfeng lightly touched Yan Suwen's arm and motioned for her to look towards the door.
There was a young girl standing in the doorway. The girl was on tiptoe, her lips half-pursed, and she looked into the tavern, and when her eyes were fixed on the old man's position, she walked in three steps and two steps. When the old man heard the footsteps, he lowered himself and almost went under the table, but the girl grabbed his clothes.
The old man couldn't move, so he had to show his face and say with a smile: "Isn't this Miss Xing'er?" How did you have the time to come to this tavern today? ”
"Of course I'm looking for you. Divine doctor, do you know how long I have been looking for you, and how many places I have been looking for. ”
"Miss Xing'er is looking for me? No, it can't be. How could Miss Xing'er look for me? Besides, I'm not a miracle doctor, I'm just a fortune teller, and I'm still not very accurate. The old man shook his shoulders, forced the girl to let go of her hand, picked up the chopsticks and began to continue eating: "That...... Miss Xing'er, I'm in a hurry to eat. After this meal, I have other things to do. ”
After speaking, while the girl was not paying attention, she threw away the chopsticks in her hand, stood up and ran.
"Miracle Doctor! Divine doctor, you can't go, my aunt is still waiting for you to go back to save your life. ”
The old man's legs and feet were indeed sharp, but the girl was young and quicker, and grabbed the back of the old man's coat as he was ready to start.
"Old man, I can only tell fortunes, not save lives. Miss Xing'er, this is a big court, aren't we pulling and pulling like this? ”
"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, divine doctor, I beg you, go back with me. My aunt is really still waiting for you to go back and save her life. ”
The old man squirmed twice, and when he saw that he really couldn't get out, he had to sigh, turned to look at the girl, and said, "It's not that the old man I won't go back with you to save people, but I can't save the old man." ”
"How did the miracle doctor save him last time?"
"Last time, it was a mistake, and it happened." The old man covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice: "This person can't be resurrected after death, don't say that I'm a fortune-telling old man, even if the Daluo Immortal descends to earth, it is difficult to make the dead breathe." Miss Xing'er, you are not young anymore, you should have heard the saying that human life is in heaven. How old this person will live is a certainty. I'm a fortune teller, and it's just a chance to lose the heavens, how can I change this fate. Don't say that I don't have this ability, and even if I do, I don't dare to disobey God's will. ”
"But the miracle doctor, you obviously saved my mother."
"I'm not rescuing, it's just right, your mother hasn't died yet. Miss Xing'er, you also know that I was dragged back by the people in your village, and if I didn't come forward to rescue me at that time, I would have beaten me up according to the temper of your father and your brother. This luck is good, and he will be killed directly. It's bad luck to beat me half to death. Miss Xing'er, you say, I'm a fortune teller on the street, who am I recruiting to provoke someone. ”
"I don't care, anyway, you saved my mother, and now my mother's life is on the line, you must go back with me." The girl pulled the old man and didn't give up, seeing that there were more and more onlookers in the tavern, Yan Suwen and Gu Changfeng didn't want to eat anymore, so they stood up directly.
In this excitement, Yan Su asked if she was going to make up, but when she and Gu Changfeng passed by the two who were arguing, the old man suddenly broke free from the girl and knocked her aside. When he turned around to apologize, he smelled the faint smell of Chinese herbs on her body, so the old man touched his nose and asked, "The girl is a doctor?" ”
"It's not!" Yan Suwen replied happily, pulling Gu Changfeng and about to go out.
"Young girl, why do you learn to lie. You don't have the smell of herbs in a day or two. I've observed your hands, and they're a pair of hands that hold medicine all year round. You're a doctor, and you're a woman. Madame, doctor, help, save the girl's mother. I'm a fortune teller, I really can't save people. ”
"I said, I'm not a doctor, and I can't save people. I do have some herb smell on me, and that's because my family grows herbs. Since it is home-grown, this drying herbs, rummaging through the herbs naturally has to be done by yourself, and the smell of herbs on your hands and body is not so strange. The matter between the uncle and this star girl, it is inconvenient for me and other outsiders to get involved. ”
"Madame, Madame, Madame, Madame, really have to save your life." As the old man spoke, he knelt down in front of Yan Suwen: "Madame doesn't know who the people are in their village. If the old man is pestered by them today, he will never come out again. Even if Madame is a medicine seller, she should have the benevolence of a doctor, right? Madame, can you really watch an old man like me being beaten to death? ”
"Killed? Why did they beat you to death? Although it is a bit remote, it is still the world of the Great Wei, and it also follows the national law of the Great Wei. If you don't want to, this girl can forcibly tie you up. ”
"Yes, yes. Madame doesn't know, old man, my surname is Yuan, and I have lived in this town for seven or eight years. The old man sighed: "As for me, although I studied medicine for a while when I was young, I was abandoned halfway because of my poor qualifications." Seeing that he was getting older and older, but he was not good at anything, he learned to read divination from others, and he has been setting up a stall in this town to tell fortunes all these years. I really don't know how to treat people. This was about half a month ago, when a young man came to my stall to tell his fortune and asked me to help him calculate his mother's condition. This is fortune-telling, to put it bluntly, it is secondary, the key is to see what the fortune-teller wants to hear. ”
"So, you're not a fortune teller, you're a fortune watcher."
"Pretty much, just to see what the fortune teller wants to hear. Seeing the anticipation on the young man's face, I told him that his mother's condition was fine, and that he could recover by looking for a good doctor and taking a closer look. As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, I was pulled up by the young man. Then, out of nowhere, a few more young men rushed out of nowhere and dragged me back to their village. ”
The old man sighed.
"When I entered the courtyard, I panicked. I can't do anything else, but this nose is very smart. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled the thick smell of blood. When I got into the house, I wanted to slap me in the mouth. In that room lay a woman who was about to give birth, and her body was covered with blood, and there was only breath coming out, not breathing in. After inquiring, I found out that this woman had a difficult birth and was about to die. ”
"Difficult birth?"
"Yes, dystocia. But I'm a fortune teller, neither a stable woman, nor a doctor, what can I do? I turned around and left, but was stopped by the young man, who said that if I didn't find a way to save his mother, I wouldn't want to live. No, I had to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and with the little medical skills I learned when I was young, I gave this woman a dose of fierce medicine. ”
"The result?"
"My mother gave birth to a younger sister, although her breath is a little weak, but after some tossing and turning by those big ladies in the village, she has also come back to life. My mother also reacted. Miss Xing'er added on the side: "I thought about asking the divine doctor to prescribe a prescription again, but the divine doctor is gone." ”
"What about your mother? It's been half a month, how are the people? ”
"Not good. Although my mother has eased up, she has always been ......" Xing'er pursed her lips, and before she finished speaking, tears fell first.
