Liang Xiaomei's eager eyes looked Ying Xiang up and down carefully, the small dimples on her face appeared, and she smiled brightly.

Ying Xiang saw Liang Xiaomei's eager gaze and felt a little hairy, and secretly thought: Her gaze is very wrong, isn't it that all the dirty work and tiring work in the future are going to be handed over to me, right?

Sure enough, Liang Xiaomei's smile became brighter and brighter, but in Yingxiang's eyes, this smile was full of fox cunning.

Liang Xiaomei put down the thigh-thick wooden pestle in her hand, and rubbed her shoulders as if unintentionally and sighed softly: "The shoulder is really sore, this wooden pestle is too heavy." ”

Liang Xiaomei glanced at Ying Xiang and said, "Ying Xiang, come over and make it for me for a while." ”

Ying Xiang touched his nose, did not break Liang Xiaomei's little trick, and reached out to take the wooden pestle.

The wooden pestle was cold to the hand, obviously made of extremely hard ironwood, and such a wooden pestle weighed about seventy or eighty pounds, which was very easy for Yingxiang.

In fact, this is nothing to Liang Xiaomei, the demon clan is born with strong bloodline.

Even those who are born with a weak body in the Eagle Clan are only weaker than the strong ones, and it is no problem to lift a hundred and ten catties.

Besides, Liang Xiaomei has been well conditioned by her grandfather since she was a child, and she is very good at nature and acquired, although she has no cultivation, it is definitely not difficult to make a medicine.

However, the work of pounding medicine is the most tedious, but it is not something that can be done with a lot of strength and two strokes, it needs to be pounded evenly and continuously all the time, so that the medicinal properties of the herbs can be fully refined, and the whole process can not be done with the help of any cultivation, otherwise the medicinal properties will be affected.

It's really boring to keep repeating the monotonous action of pounding medicine, but fortunately, Liang Xiaomei is now relieved because someone has taken over her job.

Ying Xiang took the medicine pestle and smashed it hard against the pestle mortar like Liang Xiaomei.

There was a loud bang, and the copper pestle and mortar kept trembling. Liang Xiaomei stood aside in a daze, the loud noise just now made her eardrums hurt, and she felt the trembling of the earth under her feet, like an earthquake.

"Oh my God, how much effort did you use?" Liang Xiaomei said.

At that moment, Ying Xiang didn't know how much strength it needed to pound the medicine for the first time, and he was afraid that he would have a thousand catties of strength when he smashed it casually.

Liang Xiaomei hurriedly checked the pestle and mortar, but fortunately they could still be used. It is also a pity that the pestle and mortar are made of copper, otherwise it will definitely be damaged.

"Can't you be lighter? You're here to pound medicine, not to smash things. Liang Xiaomei said angrily.

Ying Xiang touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "I'll pay attention next time." ”

"Okay, you do it again, remember to be lighter. Liang Xiaomei said.

"Lighter! lighter!" Liang Xiaomei covered her ears, unwilling to listen to the deafening sound of the copper pestle mortar.

"Okay, just this strength, keep it up. ”

"I'll add the medicine, don't mess with it, take the medicine pestle away. ”

Ying Xiang grabbed the medicine pestle and kept pounding it, and secretly complained in his heart: Oh my God, it's really troublesome, it's better to let me lift a stone every day.

After working for a long time, before I knew it, it was noon, the fragrant smell of rice wafted in, and Yingxiang's stomach screamed uncontrollably.

Originally, according to his daily arrangement, he would have breakfast after morning exercise, but he didn't bother to come in a hurry. The second elder's breakfast started early, and by the time the eagle arrived, it had already ended.

Liang Xiaomei heard the rumbling sound of Yingxiang's belly, and couldn't help laughing, and her eyes were even bent into a crescent moon.

Ying Xiang was a little embarrassed, he was already hungry, and it was even more unbearable to smell the smell of rice at the moment. He swallowed his saliva secretly, glanced at Liang Xiaomei, and didn't know how to speak.

Liang Xiaomei saw Ying Xiang's embarrassed look, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's eat." It's been a busy morning, and I'm really hungry. ”

Ying Xiang hurriedly put down the medicine pestle in his hand, followed behind Liang Xiaomei with bright eyes, and the two walked towards the dining hall together.

The dining hall is a simple log cabin, and a middle-aged woman is busy by the stove with an apron. Next to her, a little girl of four or five years old sat on a small stool, and the little girl was helping her mother by adding wood to the stove.

Except for Ying Xiang and the others, no one else in the dining hall had yet arrived, and Liang Xiaomei introduced to Ying Xiang: "This is Aunt Fang, the food she cooks is delicious." ”

The middle-aged woman raised her head from her busyness and said with a smile: "Xiaomei is here, the rice bell hasn't rang yet, it seems that you are really hungry." Don't worry, I'll get you a few of the pancakes just out of the pot, and only one dish will be fried, I'll prepare it for you. ”

Liang Xiaomei blushed, this is not shy but ashamed.

Every time I open a meal, I will ring the rice bell as a reminder, I came too early today, and I was thought to be a gluttonous cat by Aunt Fang.

Oh my God, the Eagle Emperor is above, open your eyes, I have always been a good girl who works hard and works hard, and the greedy cat is the one next to me!

But Liang Xiaomei is not easy to explain anything, after all, Yingxiang just came today, after all, he helped himself a lot today and did most of the work.

A plate of fried vegetables was placed between Yingxiang and Liang Xiaomei, and Liang Xiaomei put a plate in front of him, and there were three cakes on the plate. In front of Yingxiang was a basin with seventeen or eighteen loaves in it.

Liang Xiaomei still has some hard time believing the scene that just happened.

After taking three cakes for himself, Ying Xiang directly said that he wanted all the rest of the cakes.

Fang Gu also asked suspiciously-"Can you finish eating?", Ying Xiang gave Fang Gu an affirmative look and nodded.

Liang Xiaomei said to Ying Xiang: "Even if you hold on, you'd better finish the cake, Fang Gu hates others for wasting food the most." ”

Liang Xiaomei was a little worried, what if he couldn't finish eating and asked me to help? I help or not, it doesn't seem good not to help.

Okay, I'll help him eat two, and I can't help him if there's more. Liang Xiaomei thought secretly and made a decision.

Oh my God, I'm sure I'll be held up today, so let's make a bowl of tea in the afternoon.

She glared at Ying Xiang and gritted her teeth secretly: You glutton, you are really greedy, what will you do when you can't finish eating!

Ying Xiang grabbed a cake with one hand, one bite on the left and one bite on the right, and solved a cake in two bites in three bites under Liang Xiaomei's shocked gaze.

Liang Xiaomei was only halfway through the second cake, and the basin in front of Ying Xiang was already empty. Ying Xiang poured a cup of tea and drank it leisurely at the moment.

Liang Xiaomei was already numb with shock as she gnawed on the cake, and asked casually: "How is it, is it delicious?

Ying Xiang took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The taste of the cake is very good, I like to eat it very much." Now it's about half-full. ”

Liang Xiaomei lowered her head and nibbled on the cake, but secretly made an evaluation of Yingxiang in her heart - "Tianzi No. 1 Rice Bucket".

Ying Xiang looked at the green vegetables in front of him, and now there was nothing else to eat, and the green vegetables became the only target.

He stretched out his chopsticks to the green vegetables, and this time it tasted like Sven, which was very different from the way he had gobbled it up just now.

Ying Xiang ate a few bites of green vegetables only to feel that his mouth was light and tasteless, and he couldn't help but look at Fang Gu to see if there was any good meat.

As a practitioner, you need to consume a sufficient amount of meat every day to replenish the essence in your body and restore your strength. So Ying Xiang and some of his companions eat meat almost every day, and now they are very uncomfortable.

The second elder likes vegetarianism, and under the subtle influence, even all the medicine boys and apprentices also like to eat vegetarian, and Fang Gu rarely makes meat on weekdays.

After learning the news from Liang Xiaomei, Yingxiang's heart was cold, but he still didn't give up.

Ying Xiang stood up, smiled embarrassedly at Fang Gu, and then euphemistically expressed the fact that he had not eaten enough. Fang Gu saw the empty basin in Yingxiang's hand, and immediately promised to make another pot of cakes, and promised to cook some meat for Yingxiang.

Soon Yingxiang came back with a large pot of cakes, and he said to Liang Xiaomei: "You can wait for me for a while, the meat that Aunt Fang made for me is not good yet." ”

Liang Xiaomei was speechless, this is too edible, Yingxiang's meal is estimated to be almost worth her ten days and a half months.

I've seen something that can be eaten, but I've never seen something so edible. Before this, Liang Zhao, the most edible apprentice on Grandpa's side, only ate eight or nine cakes at a meal, which was simply a diet compared to Yingxiang.

If Ying Xiang knew what Liang Xiaomei was thinking in her heart, she would have shouted wrongly, her meal was only average, and her strength was really powerful, and each meal was more than twice as much as she ate!

At this moment, the crisp bell rang, and Fang Gu stood by the door with a yellow copper bell in her hand and shook it.

This is the rice bell that rings every day after the meal, Liang Xiaomei lowered her head and quickly and silently ate the last cake in her hand. She coughed lightly and said, "That...... I'm done eating, and I won't accompany you if I have something to do, so I'll come to the grass house to find me when you're full. ”

After Liang Xiaomei finished speaking, she trotted out of the dining hall, and her hurried appearance was as if there was a vicious dog chasing her behind her.

The bell has been ringing, and soon everyone will be coming to the dining hall one after another. And Yingxiang eating in a basin will definitely cause everyone's shock, Liang Xiaomei is really embarrassed to stay by Yingxiang's side, so she quickly ran away.

............

Ying Xiang touched his stomach and walked out of the dining hall with a satisfied sigh.

As soon as he walked away, the cafeteria suddenly became lively, and a tall and thin man jumped up and said loudly, "How is it? ”

"No, it's really all eaten!"

"If I knew I wouldn't have bet, oh my God, two taels of silver, my month's salary!"

"I am willing to gamble and lose, and take the money!"

Ying Xiang returned to the Baicao House, only to see Liang Xiaomei bowing her head and separating a bunch of herbs. This is a pile of herbs that have just been delivered, and several herbs have been mixed together and dried.

The dried herbs all looked similar, and it was really not easy to separate, so Ying Xiang squatted down and rolled up his sleeves to help.

He compared the three herbs that Liang Xiaomei had separated, and put the herbs in his hand in one of the piles.

"Wrong, wrong. Liang Xiaomei stretched out her hand to remove the herbs that Ying Xiang had just put down. She reached out and smoothed out the leaves of the herb, looked at it carefully, and placed it in another pile of herbs.

Liang Xiaomei said: "These three herbs are Prunella vulgaris, Ghost Lamp Qing, and Gutong Grass. The leaves of Prunella vulgaris are similar to those of Gutong grass, both are oblong, but the roots are different. ”

Ying Xiang looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, the roots of Prunella vulgaris are thin and dense, while the roots of Gutong grass are thick and sparse. ”

Liang Xiaomei stared at Ying Xiang with some surprise, but she didn't expect Ying Xiang to clearly say the difference between the roots of the two.

Liang Xiaomei said: "You are very right, but there is another obvious difference between the two, that is, the taste is different, you can smell it later." The ghost lantern is easier to recognize, its shape is very unique, like a small umbrella, which is very different from Prunella vulgaris and Gutong grass. But it also has a peculiarity that you can look at the bottom leaf of it. ”
