Chapter 37

The next day, Xiangru continued to work alone, and as yesterday, the wind and water were shivering.

Also the same as yesterday, Madder seized the opportunity to prepare hot sugar water for Xiangru, Xiangru drank half of it in one go, and suddenly thought that she should ask about yesterday.

"The ......"

"Don't talk, drink quickly, beware of the ears on the wall, no matter what happens, you have to grit your teeth and endure it, don't let people take the opportunity to kick you out. Also, this is antifreeze cream, be careful not to frostbite your hands. As soon as Xiangru said two words, she was cut off by Madder, followed by a mosquito humming a few words, and took out a white-glazed flat porcelain jar from her arms and stuffed it into Xiangru's arms.

Hearing Madder say this, Xiangru stopped talking, gulped down the remaining half a cup of sugar water, picked up the basin and went downstairs to continue working.

The days of continuous snow lasted for five or six days, and after the snow stopped, there were three or four days of strong winds, and then there was an alternation of rain and snow, so repeatedly tossed for more than half a month, and when everyone stepped into the last month of the year, finally looked forward to the day when the sky was clear.

Tiandong and Mai Dong's illnesses have been cured in these days, and they have returned to work, with them there, Madder can no longer give Xiangru hot sugar water behind other people's eyes, so after finishing work every day, the three of them are frozen and grinning back, jumping on the kang and wrapped in the quilt and cursing God together.

As soon as the sky cleared, the snow began to melt slowly, the snow on the roof turned into snow and dripped down, the ground and railings under the eaves were always wet, and when the wind blew, it froze into ice.

After finishing the work on this day, seeing the sun, Xiangru and the three of them took out the quilt and put it in the yard to dry, and the girls in the other house also took out their quilts when they saw it, and the yard became the world of quilts for a while.

After noon, Poria came to knock on Xiangru's door, with a sympathetic smile on her face, saying that there were many things in the pharmacy today, and there was a shortage of manpower, and Aunt Fang was convenient, so she transferred all the people in her hospital to do things, but no one took care of the medicinal materials in the sun, so Xiangru worked hard to collect the medicinal materials.

Xiangru's heart sank, and she understood that what should come was still coming, and Aunt Fang's classic trick was fortunate enough to experience it for herself.

"Okay, Aunt Fang's errand, I can't ask for it."

Xiangru put on a sincere smile on her face and followed Poria to the front.

As soon as I crossed the threshold of the corner gate, and was still under the porch, I saw two large shelves in the courtyard, six dustpans filled to the brim, and sacks filled with medicine in a long row on the verandah railing.

"Na, that's it, you did it last time, you don't need me to teach you how to do it anymore, move quickly, if it's dark and it's not over, it's you who suffers." Poria pointed to the courtyard, threw down Xiangru and left by herself.

Xiangru walked to the courtyard hard, turned around in place, and found that it was so quiet that there was no sound at all, and she didn't think about whether those people were hiding behind the thick felt curtain to watch a good show, Xiangru went to check these medicinal materials first.

The three-layer big shelf I saw last time, Xiangru knew very well how long it would take to pick a dustpan of medicine, and today she had to clean it up by herself, and it was clear that she didn't want her to have good fruit to eat, Xiangru dared to bet on all her net worth, and the person who put up this kind of formation was not purely to punish her for the girl who was injured in the fall that day, but to take the opportunity to get her out.

Xiangru walked to the nearest shelf and wanted to take a look at the medicinal herbs, and her brain was "buzzing", and the dustpan was not a medicine at all, but a mixture of four medicinal herbs, and it was spread out evenly.

This is good, six dustpans, each of the four flavors of medicine, she sorts it alone, isn't this just to force her to make a trick.

Xiangru raised her face and took a few deep breaths, the cold air entered her lungs, bringing a chill and making her calm down quickly, patting her face to cheer up, Xiangru turned around and brought four sacks, opened the mouth of the sacks, and folded them a few times so that the sacks could stand firmly on the ground.

Xiangru dragged out the lowest dustpan, but not completely dragged to the ground, but dragged out half, by the height difference between the shelf and the ground, let the dustpan lean diagonally on the ground, and then took four or five sacks as mats and threw them in front of the dustpan, the four sacks rested on both sides in twos and twos, and then put the long-handled fader behind her, everything was ready, Xiangru sat down on the sack, put the dustpan on her legs, opened the bow with both hands, and quickly collected the medicinal herbs.

In my previous life, I became a nutritionist because of the influence of my family, who was a medicine farmer who grew Chinese medicinal herbs, and the land was leased by a pharmaceutical factory, and the whole village planted various medicinal herbs for the pharmaceutical factory. Whenever the harvest season, fresh medicinal materials should be selected and then cleaned, and non-medicinal kernels, fruit stalks, branches, skin shells and other substances should be removed, leaving only the medicinal parts, and then cleaned and finally dried, so as to retain the active ingredients of medicinal materials to the greatest extent.

When she was a child, she did not give a lot of hands to the adults, picking and cleaning she did, when the child's heart, the game and work in one, practiced a unique skill, she can lower her head and only by the corner of her eyes can accurately pick up the selected herbs into their respective baskets or trash cans.

Later, after leaving home to study, I didn't do this work again, but my body still left a memory, and when I lived independently in the future, I was a good hand at picking vegetables, and I could get it in three or two clicks on a handful of leaf vegetables in her hand.

Coincidentally, the current Xiangru kitchen handyman was born, and so many dishes were handled by the three of them every day, and they were all trained quickly, but now they gave her an excellent cover, even if she moved fast, no one would think it would be strange.

Xiangru pouted, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to finish it all before dark, but at least she wouldn't give those psychopaths a chance to torture her for too long.

Xiangru's trick is actually no secret, but it is a high degree of cooperation between the hands and eyes, and if the eyes see any medicinal herbs, they can pick them out with their hands and immediately throw them into the sack next to them. The four flavors were thrown into the four bags, one was good, and the other was not leaking.

At first, Xiangru's movements were relatively slow, picking vegetables is different from picking medicines after all, as more and more medicinal materials were selected, Xiangru gradually regained the feeling of her childhood, and her hands moved faster and faster.

Xiangru was immersed in her own world, not thinking about what time it was, not thinking about whether it was almost dark, she let her thoughts drift, fantasizing that she was taken in, taking the Chinese medicine exam, leaving the palace independently, fantasizing about whether to open a clinic as a doctor, or to open a restaurant as a chef, is it possible to hook a handsome guy as a husband...... I want to think about everything I can, but I don't want to do the work at hand.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Madder was boiling water to make tea in the pantry, and heard someone talking about it, and there was a poor worm in the pharmacy yard in front of her, who was going to pick up six dustpans of medicinal herbs alone, and she didn't know how she would be tricked and beaten after dark.

Madder listened to it, didn't go to her heart, and when the tea was ready, she held the tea tray and walked to the front room, today Doctor Xie is on duty.

When I came to the second courtyard, I saw the poor insect working hard in the yard, I glanced at it curiously, and recognized it as Xiangru, and I was taken aback, and quickly bowed my head and walked away.

Doctor Xie didn't make any action when she got the madder thread, she was neither surprised nor frowned, she just listened to a gossip, and laughed and joked with the doctors in the same room, calmly eating the snacks just sent and drinking the freshly brewed hot tea.

A master is a master, much calmer than a little apprentice.

Seeing that Doctor Xie did not move, Madder guessed that the master must have an idea, so she silently retreated to read.

At the second quarter of the first day of Shen, today's duty ended, and the doctors and wives returned to the house.

The other doctors slipped away when they arrived, and Doctor Xie was not in a hurry or impatient, and slowly instructed Madder to pack up the books, paper and pen, and deliberately slowed down for a while before leading Madder out of the room.

This slow, when she came to the second courtyard, the doctors who walked first in front of her could no longer see people, and there was no one else walking in the courtyard, only Doctor Xie on the verandah and Xiangru who was immersed in picking up medicine in the courtyard, at this time she had already picked half of the second dustpan, but in any case, it was impossible to finish it all before dark.

Doctor Xie walked on the inside, Madder walked on the outside, at first the two just walked normally, and they both saw the big living person in the yard, Madder also pointed, as if a child gloated and made fun of it.

When the two of them walked to the verandah steps in front of the storeroom, their sight was not blocked by the pillars, and the hard-working Xiangru was completely exposed.

Xiangru didn't know at all, she was all about the medicinal materials in front of her at the moment, and she didn't know that there was someone behind her.

Doctor Xie looked at it for a while and was attracted by Xiangru's skillful sorting action, and immediately smiled faintly in her heart, relieved that she didn't look away, it was in vain that she deliberately went to check the original of the roster, not to mention that just looking at her action, she knew that she must have dealt with medicinal herbs for a long time when she was at home.

Doctor Xie smiled in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she still had a puzzled expression of "looking familiar but can't remember where she saw it".

She walked down the steps and came to Xiangru's side, but Xiangru happened to have her back to the direction of Doctor Xie in order to chase the sun, so Doctor Xie deliberately circled around Xiangru.

Seeing that Xiangru still didn't find herself, Doctor Xie had to continue to complete this one-man show by herself.

She stood on Xiangru's right and grabbed Xiangru's right arm, interrupting her work.

The rhythm of the action was suddenly interrupted, which startled Xiangru, and she looked up to see who was playing tricks on her, but what appeared in front of her was the face of Doctor Xie who came to the front, and she was so frightened that she subconsciously took a step back, but by chance she tripped on the sack next to her, and her body immediately lost her balance, and Doctor Xie pulled her back.

"Lady Xie?"

"Huh? Xiangru? Is it really you? I've been looking at you all along. What are you doing here? Doctor Xie took Xiangru's hand with a happy face, looking up and down.

"I ...... I'm picking up medicine. Why are you out there on this cold day? Hurry back to the house, don't freeze. Xiangru hurriedly and timidly withdrew her hand, this time remembering to carefully take a few steps back and pull away a little, looking like she didn't want to get too close.

Doctor Xie frowned, her face was not very good-looking, "Hey, what are you doing here?" How did you get to be like this? Where's the last time I saw you? I didn't even know you were transferred here, no wonder the food was not delicious these days, it turns out that you didn't cook it in the kitchen. When did you come in? ”

"It was Aunt Rong who transferred me in, saying that there were many people leaving the pharmacy this year, and I was afraid that there would be a shortage of manpower, so she transferred me in."

"I see. It's good to come here, save yourself from being smoky in the kitchen every day, and it will be ugly if such a watery girl becomes a yellow-faced woman. ”

Xiangru looked embarrassed and didn't answer.

Doctor Xie regained her joy, as if she didn't see Xiangru's absent-minded state at the moment, and turned to see what Xiangru was doing.

The big dustpan mixed with the four flavors of medicine has already been picked halfway.

Doctor Xie's face sank on the spot, and she continued to check the other dustpans, and saw that they were all mixed medicinal herbs, and her face was as black as if it had been coated with ink, and even Madder was frightened, standing next to her and not daring to make a sound.

Doctor Xie slowly turned around in the middle of the courtyard with cold eyes, and her eyes stayed on the four rooms for a while, as if she wanted to freeze the thick felt curtain with her eyes, and only after a while did she face Xiangru again with a cold face.

"Xiangru, who gave you this job?" Not only was Doctor Xie's face cold, but even her voice seemed to be frozen.

"It was arranged by Miss Poria Cocos, saying that today is busy and there are not enough people."

"Poria is your immediate boss?"

"Yes."

"Well, since she confessed, you can do it well, remember to come to me for tea when you have time in the future, I will go into the courtyard to live in the back, and anyone who asks will know."

"The doctor and nobleman have many things, and they dare not bother."

"What are you talking about, didn't we talk happily in front of Aunt Xiao that day, why are we separated from me now? Okay, okay, that's it, I'm not on duty tomorrow, waiting for you to drink tea. ”

"This ......"

Xiangru was embarrassed and wanted to excuse herself, but Madder next to her strode forward, unceremoniously pushed Xiangru, and loudly held her grievances for her master.

"The master can afford you to invite you to tea, you don't know what to do, push left and right, who are you my master?"

"Madder, don't be rude." Doctor Xie dragged the bulging madder, and patted Xiangru's arm again, "I'll go back first, you can continue to do things." ”

"Yes, it's cold and the road is slippery, and the doctor walks slowly."

Xiangru currently saw that the figures of Xie Yipo and Madder disappeared at the corner gate, and then turned around and continued to sort the medicinal materials.

It's only this time that I made a cup of tea, and Poria Cocos came out from behind Xiangru like a ghost, with a deliberately flattering smile on her face, and she used so much force that even the teeth and flowers came out, and it didn't look like the usual Poria cocos.

"Xiangru, you've been busy all afternoon, and you've worked hard. Cold, right? Hurry back to the house and warm up. ”

"There's a lot left unpicked."

"It's okay, it's okay, Aunt Fang's things are done, leave the rest to those girls, your work is over, hurry up and rest."

"Oh, then I'll go back, you've worked hard, and you're still busy outside on such a cold day."

was acting before, so she behaved contrived, but now Poria asked her to rest, and Xiangru didn't shirk it, but politely borrowed the donkey from the slope immediately, patted her clothes, and left.
