Ying'er is the youngest granddaughter of Uncle Zhou, the doctor in the village, who is in the cardamom year, the same age as Sun Yuandao, graceful and graceful, lively and hearty, and is the most intelligent and lovely among the dozens of girls in the village.

Usually, Ying'er often follows her grandfather to collect medicine in the mountains, help her grandfather dry the medicine and decoction medicine, grandpa is busy when he sees a doctor and saves people, and grandpa also likes to teach her some medical skills. After a long time, she could personally help the villagers treat some minor diseases, and the villagers nicknamed her "female medical officer".

On weekdays, Ying'er and Sun Yuandao have a very good relationship with Zhou Chu, but Zhou Chu's personality is a little introverted and he doesn't take the initiative to find Ying'er.

Sun Yuandao caught up with Ying'er one step ahead of him, and at this time the two walked side by side, talking and laughing as they walked, as if they had forgotten about Zhou Chu, Zhou Chu wanted to walk up quickly but felt bored and slowly walked behind the two of them.

"Just now, grandpa went to deliver decoction to grandma, and when he passed by, he saw you hanging out here, and when he went home to cook, he suddenly thought of you, so he asked me to call you to come over for lunch at home. Ying'er's voice was born with a smile, like a spring breeze blowing, sweeping away the loneliness of autumn.

"What did Grandpa make delicious?" Sun Yuandao also regained his former vigor and asked with a smile.

"Since you are specially invited to eat, grandpa must have made delicious food, although grandpa's cooking skills are not as good as Grandma Shen's, but he is also one of the best in the village, is it difficult to call you to eat white steamed buns?" Ying'er Jiao snorted.

"It's okay to have white steamed buns, your steamed buns are better than those in other places. Sun Yuandao quipped.

"Brother Yuandao's speech is becoming more and more serious, since this is the case, when the time comes, you just have to eat white steamed buns. ”

"It depends on how grandpa arranges it, if he really only lets me eat white steamed buns, I am also willing......"

Sun Yuandao and Ying'er talk and laugh very naturally, which shows that they are used to playing like this on weekdays.

Zhou Chuchu, who was following the two of them, began to feel a little lonely, and he often thought in his heart that he could make fun of Ying'er like Sun Yuandao.

On weekdays, Zhou Chu didn't know why he saw Ying'er every time, he seemed to be half a cut shorter than Ying'er, he was not good at talking, and he became a stuffy gourd in front of Ying'er, Ying'er didn't like Zhou Chu's wood, and often told Zhou Chu what he saw and heard without a clue, and Zhou Chu was also very willing to watch Ying'er tell her about herself, and was willing to be her audience.

Occasionally, Ying'er would ask Zhou Chu to tell him what was on his mind, but most of Zhou Chu couldn't say it, and after a long time, Ying'er didn't care anymore.

Seeing Sun Yuandao and Ying'er walking side by side and talking about trouble, he suddenly thought of Uncle Zhou asking Ying'er to come over, and shouted that Sun Yuandao was certain, maybe he was just because of Sun Yuandao's light, thinking that the loneliness in his heart was even heavier, his pace slowed down, and he kicked the small stones on the ground from time to time to cover up his embarrassment.

Ying'er suddenly thought that Zhou Chu was still behind her, knowing that she had snubbed him, and she was a little sorry in her heart, so she slowed down and waited for Zhou Chu to come up.

"At the beginning of the week, are you still worried about your grandfather and them? Don't worry, just now in the ancestral hall, everyone has seen the mana of that Taoist master, I think he will definitely be able to subdue the harmful monster, don't worry too much, okay?" Ying'er softly comforted him.

Zhou Chu didn't actually say what Ying'er said in his heart at this time, but he had to pretend to be worried about this matter, and sighed.

"Grandpa is not in good health, and he can't eat or sleep every day these days, I'm really worried about his physical ......"

"When the matter is over, I asked my grandfather to recuperate for him, a few days ago I dug up a few big Ganoderma lucidum with my grandfather in the mountains, grandpa said that Ganoderma lucidum dispensing is the most nourishing to give to your grandfather, but I know that he has not been thinking about conditioning recently, and I want to wait until this matter is over to mention this matter......"

Zhou Chu saw that Ying'er cared so much about herself and her grandfather, and the loneliness in her heart was swept away, and she hurriedly thanked her a few times.

Ying'er smiled and nodded politely, the three of them had arrived at Ying'er's house while speaking, and before they entered the door, a rich broth fragrance mixed with the medicinal fragrance of the medical hall rushed to their faces, and when they looked up, they saw that under the eaves of the courtyard, Uncle Zhou was fanning the stove with a pu fan, and there was a coarse porcelain black casserole on the stove, the lid of the casserole was filled with hot air and kept beating to make a pleasant sound of porcelain......

Uncle Zhou is a cheerful and kind old man, good at medicine, when he was young, he opened a crude medicine shop in the town, and now when he is older, he passed on the business of the crude medicine shop to his son Zhou Chuancheng, that is, Ying'er's father, Zhou Chuancheng and his wife and his eldest son Zhou Keshu run the crude medicine shop together, and Ying'er stayed in the village to accompany her grandfather.

Usually when the weather is fine, Uncle Zhou goes to the mountains to collect medicine, not to sell it to make money, all of them are taken out to help the villagers to treat diseases, and on weekdays to treat the villagers never collect cash, sometimes need some expensive Chinese medicinal materials, Uncle Zhou also secretly paid for his own money to buy the villagers, some villagers really don't want to send some game, he most of the time he doesn't want to, so Uncle Zhou is very prestigious in the village.

And Uncle Zhou's personality is naturally optimistic and cheerful, he likes to joke, not at all as serious as those doctors who sit in the hospital and don't smile, but more like an old naughty boy.

"At any time, people should not treat their stomach badly, if the stomach is not good, the body will boast, and as soon as the body exaggerates, diseases and small disasters will come. Uncle Zhou continued to fan the fire and smiled at the three of them with a smile.

"Grandpa, what did you cook today, the smell of meat has covered up the smell of medicine in your house. Sun Yuandao took the initiative to take the pu fan in Uncle Zhou's hand and help fan the fire.

Uncle Zhou got up and rubbed his waist, covered a towel on the casserole, and then lifted the lid of the casserole, and suddenly a stream of hot white smoke mixed with the rich smell of meat rushed out, Uncle Zhou closed his eyes and asked carefully, with a smug look, he said twice that it was so fragrant, and after speaking, he turned to look at Ying'er and Zhou Chu, and said: " In the casserole is a mallard duck weighing more than four pounds, last month I helped the third aunt to see an eye disease, his son was grateful, went to the mountains to beat this mallard duck and sent it over, now I stewed it for three hours before the meat was loosened......"

Speaking of this, after Uncle Zhou stopped, he raised his voice and asked Ying'er: "Ying'er, do you smell this meat carefully, do you know what seasoning Grandpa put in it, will this duck meat be so fragrant......

Ying'er immediately realized that her grandfather was going to test her some important knowledge.

Ying'er smiled mischievously, walked to the stove, closed her eyes, looked serious, fanned the aroma to her nose with her hand, and then sniffed it carefully, Zhou Chu and Sun Yuandao also followed Ying'er to smell the fragrance of the duck soup, but for the two of them, in addition to the fragrance of duck meat, at most they only smelled the fragrance of star anise cinnamon and the like, even if they smelled the smell of some Chinese herbs, they didn't know how to describe the title, so they all gave up smartly, and waited to see how Ying'er answered.

Ying'er closed her eyes and sniffed carefully, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her grandfather smartly, with a confident smile on her face, obviously Ying'er already had the answer in her heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, the soup is indispensable with angelica wolfberry astragalus......"

Uncle Zhou laughed when he heard this, and was about to speak, Ying'er immediately continued: "These are naturally definitely going to be released, if you only release these grandfathers, you don't have to test me today, there should be a few uncommon important ones in my soup, I want to think about it...... There is a faint and dry smell in the aroma of meat, if you guess correctly, it should be green cordyceps and southern ginseng...... Grandpa, am I right......"

After Ying'er finished speaking, she took her grandfather's arm and laughed, and Uncle Zhou laughed and nodded in approval.

"Okay, it's not too early, the meat is stewed, let's hurry up and eat." ”

Ying'er went to the house and took out a large porcelain basin, Sun Yuandao poured out the wild duck soup and put it in the large porcelain basin, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Do you want to eat steamed buns or eat this wild duck meat? ”

"Grandpa spent so much effort to make delicious, wouldn't I live up to grandpa's hard work if I didn't eat it, and I will eat white steamed buns next time......

Grandpa has placed a small pear wood square table under the eaves, and four dishes of game dishes have been placed on the table, Zhou Chu helped to place the dishes and chopsticks, and Uncle Zhou asked everyone to sit down.

Sun Yuandao and Zhou Chu and their grandfather and grandson have long been very familiar, and they know that Uncle Zhou has always taken food as the sky, and he doesn't like to talk too much when eating, so the two of them are no longer too polite, and after saying thank you, they devoured it, and after a while, the four of them ate a full pot of wild duck meat with soup and meat, and the four dishes also bottomed out.

After eating, Uncle Zhou ordered Sun Yuandao to boil water, and he went to the house to take out the tea set and tea canisters and returned to the dining table under the eaves.

Zhou Chu and Ying'er went to wash the cooking utensils and chopsticks together, and Zhou Chu asked in a low voice: "Ying'er, why are you so powerful, I have never heard of the two Chinese medicines you said." ”

Ying'er sneered, turned her head to look at her grandfather, and then whispered to Zhou Chu: "Where am I so powerful, I saw it when grandpa took out the green cordyceps and Nansha ginseng in the morning and cleaned them carefully, and I saw that he cleaned up the wild duck, so it is expected that these two medicinal materials should be added......"

"In the end, you are amazing, if it were me, even if I saw it, I didn't necessarily think of this. Zhou Chu sighed to himself.

When the two washed the cooking utensils, Uncle Zhou had already made a pot of strong tea, although the three of them didn't know how to drink tea, but they often heard Uncle Zhou tell them some tea knowledge on weekdays, so when they smelled the fragrance of tea, they knew that it was probably Pu'er tea.

"I ate wild duck meat just now and it was too greasy, drink some Pu'er tea to get rid of the oiliness. Grandpa took a sip of tea first, and then motioned for the three of them to drink tea.

The three of them drank all the tea in the cup, and sure enough, the greasy feeling on their stomachs and tongues was much lighter.

was drinking tea, heard the footsteps of a few people coming in the distance, looked up and saw that it was Uncle Wu Zi and Da Niu and a few other people, several of them were accompanying the Taoist to eat, at this time it was a little strange to go home, Uncle Zhou shouted Wu Zi signaled to him to come in and have a cup of tea, Uncle Wu Zi walked over quickly, he had the smell of wine, his face was red, and he had obviously drunk a lot of wine. Ying'er let her sit in the house, took a towel, and let Uncle Wu wipe her face after wetting the water.

Uncle Zhou found a big cup and poured a full cup and pushed it in front of him, Uncle Wu Zi thanked him and drank it all.

"How's your meal? Uncle Zhou asked.

"Don't mention it, I didn't expect the Taoist to be a lover, originally we only prepared two jars of apricot blossom wine or more to prepare, I didn't expect that it was not enough for him to drink alone, and then I asked for two jars of apricot blossom wine, most of them were also drunk by him, because the Taoist chief came from afar, and we have something important to ask for, so it's not easy to stop, who can still hold up after these jars of wine are down, and he is already drunk, where can he still do the demon subjugation......" Uncle Wu Zi was angry and funny.

"Uncle Wuzi, what's going on now?" asked Sun Yuandao.

"The Taoist chief drank too much and couldn't walk and couldn't open his eyes, and said that today's yellow calendar is not good, and he will be able to subdue the demon tomorrow, and then he fell asleep in the house, and he didn't wake up no matter how he pushed, and the village chief said that since this is the case, he has to listen to the Taoist chief, he is there and guards, let us go home and rest first, hey, I didn't expect this Taoist to be so able to drink, it seems that this meal at night is also indispensable, I'll go back and see if I find some game and the like to prepare dinner......"

Uncle Wu Zi drank another cup of tea and got up to leave.

"I don't know why, I always feel that this Taoist chief is a little weird......"

Sun Yuandao seemed to be a little worried on his face, and this worried look was also seen on his grandfather's face in the ancestral hall just now.

"What do you say?" Zhou Chu hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, but I think if it's really an immortal with a high law, he won't easily sell his spells......"

Zhou Chu heard Sun Yuandao use the word showmanship, and suddenly his heart lit up, yes, in the ancestral hall just now, the fat Taoist was really a little showy, and such wine and meat made Zhou Chu even more worried about his grandfather.

"Everyone's personality dictates it, it's like some people like to be low-key, some people like to be high-profile, as long as they can help us subdue the water demon and take care of him. Ying'er said softly.

"Well, in the future, when I have cultivated the Immortal Law, I will definitely not be like him. Sun Yuandao whispered.

Hearing Sun Yuandao say this, Zhou Chu suddenly thought of what Sun Yuandao said at the door of the grocery store just now, and hurriedly asked.

"Brother Yuandao, is it possible that you want to go to cultivate immortals? I just heard you say what you want to go to Qingxuan Dao, I don't understand, what does it mean?"

"Yes, I have already discussed with my father, I am going to apprentice to Qingxuandao. Sun Yuandao's words were very firm, and it seemed that he had made up his mind.

"Qingxuandao, what do you mean?" Ying'er was as shocked as Zhou Chu, and asked in a low voice, her face beginning to look a little worried.

"The Northern Immortal Mountain Qingxuan Dao is recruiting disciples, saying that at the end of this month, I will come to the town to select disciples with immortal fate to develop the power of the Immortal Sect, and my cousins in the town are shouting that I am ready to go together. Sun Yuandao's expression became solemn when he said this.

"What is Qingxuan Dao, and what does it do?" Zhou Chu asked a little stupidly.

"I don't know, but I think since the Taoist chief won't be going back today, we can go and ask him. ”

Uncle Zhou took a sip of tea, let out a long breath, and said, "Qing Xuandao is coming to the town to pick disciples, it seems that this world is really going to change......

Hearing that Uncle Zhou said this, the three of them asked again and again: "Grandpa, you know about Qingxuandao, tell us about it." ”

Uncle Zhou nodded, looked at the sky in the distance, and his expression became serious.
