Chapter 25: Rice (2)
"Grandpa, you can't eat any more, it's already overdone today." Lu Tiantian was worried that the village doctor would go to the kitchen to serve rice.
The village doctor nodded, he is a doctor himself, of course he knows this simple truth.
"Tiantian, grandpa is very happy, with you at home, it's like a family, you have to study medicine with grandpa, don't be lazy, you know?"
Lu Tiantian nodded, studying medicine is a difficult road, especially in traditional Chinese medicine, and just collecting medicine can scare many people away.
We all know that there are herbs in the mountains, and those precious medicinal materials are hidden in dangerous places, and if you are not careful, you can die.
There is also the legendary spirit beast spirit protection strain, which is real, and in the last life, I saw a thousand-year-old Lingzhi plant protected by a big snake.
"Grandpa, shall we go up the mountain tomorrow? When to go? Lu Tiantian asked.
The village doctor thought for a while and said, "The herbs are all picked in the morning, and the herbs in the afternoon are not as good as those in the morning." ”
Lu Tiantian nodded, and went back to the kitchen to boil water, grandpa likes to drink tea, and he has to scrub and wash before going to bed.
"Tiantian, Lu Tiantian." It seemed that someone outside was calling themselves, probably for fear of being heard, so the voice was very low.
Lu Tiantian knew that it was her father's voice as soon as she heard it, and hurriedly ran out: "Dad, why are you here?" ”
Lu Saburo looked at the energetic girl, and his heart relaxed slightly.
As soon as Lu Qing got home, he took out the meat buns, which was so shocked that San Lang Sanniang almost couldn't believe his eyes.
"Where did it come from?" Saburo's first reaction was whether it would have something to do with Tiantian.
"Tian Tian gave it, saying that it was given to her by the village doctor's grandfather." Lu Qing said in a low voice.
Lu Sanlang's heart was warm, but how could he get his daughter's rations.
"Nonsense, since the village doctor gave her food, why do you want to take it, give me the buns, and I'll send them back to her."
found a piece of bun that had been broken, Lu Saburo felt strange, what does this mean, do you eat the leftovers sweetly.
"There are two buns, Tian Tian broke one into three pieces, Da Ming and I ate it, this one is Xiao Ming's."
Lu Qing explained a little shrunken, Dad's face is not very good-looking, but don't be beaten.
Lu Sanlang thought about it, and still stuffed the small piece into Lu Qing's hand: "Wait for Xiao Ming to come back and give it to him, I have to return this." ”
Lu Qing hurriedly hid the bun close to his body, and began to feel guilty in his heart, why did he eat the sweet rations like this.
Lu Sanlang carefully put the meat buns away and ran in the direction of the village doctor's house.
From afar, Lu Saburo smelled the smell of bacon and green onions, and he came to the door of the village doctor's house with some disbelief.
Could it be that the village doctor is stir-frying meat for Tian Tian to eat, it's not big, how can the main family be so good to the girl.
Climbing up from the wall on the side, the taste was stronger, and Lu Saburo swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.
Sticking out his head to look in, he only saw a faint figure and the voices of two people, too far away to hear what they were saying.
Fortunately, after a while, Tian Tian took a scoop out and scooped water, he hurriedly made a horn shape with both hands, and shouted in a low voice.
Seeing Tiantian running over, he hurriedly jumped down from the wall and took out the meat bun: "Here you go, your rations are not delicious, what are you going to do with it." ”
Lu Tiantian stuffed the meat bun into San Lang's pocket, took out twenty yuan from his pocket and said:
"Dad, I gave the master the grain you pulled out of the rat hole, and the master said to buy as much as you want."
Looking at the two ten-yuan bills in front of him, Lu Saburo couldn't believe his eyes.
"You mean that the grain you hid in the pocket of your padded jacket has been given to your master, ah! What master, what do you mean? Lu Saburo's brain was dizzy.
"Dad, I've always wanted to study medicine, and now the village doctor and grandfather have promised to accept me as an apprentice, but the outside asks me to call him grandpa." Lu Tiantian explained.
Lu Sanlang has a dizzy feeling that he was struck by lightning, what the hell is going on, not to say that he helped with the work, how did he become an apprentice.
Lu Sanlang shook his head and sorted out his thoughts, he remembered that the little girl ran away early this morning.
"Tiantian, you went to the village doctor early in the morning, right?" Lu Saburo asked.
Lu Tiantian nodded: "Yes, I just begged my grandfather to take me as an apprentice, and my grandfather agreed." ”
Lu Sanlang was excited, if the girl can learn a craft, she won't have to worry about getting married in the future.
pushed the money back: "Tiantian, the apprentice must have an apprenticeship ceremony, my father is incompetent, so those grains will be used as an apprenticeship ceremony." “
Lu Tiantian pushed the money over again: "I know, this money is to buy food in the mouse hole, Dad, you go back and pull it again." ”
Lu Sanlang was a little hesitant, he had heard the novel, and the fine grain in the black market in the county had risen to one dollar a catty.
The grain in the rat hole is definitely fine grain, and twenty yuan can buy twenty catties.
But he wasn't sure if there were twenty catties of grain in the cave, and the village doctor was a sweet master, how could he sell it for such an expensive price.
"Tiantian, San Lang, what can't you say at home, what are you doing standing outside?" The village doctor's voice sounded in the back.
Lu Tiantian hurriedly pulled Lu Sanlang into the hall, and San Lang was at a loss with the money in his hand.
"Uncle Lin, this money is too much, I don't know how much food is left in that rat hole." Lu Saburo will return the money to the village doctor.
The village doctor shook his hand and said, "Tiantian, bring out a bowl of rice for your father, let him taste it, and you will know how much it is worth." ”
Lu Tiantian hurriedly walked to the kitchen: "Dad, you wait a while." ”
I turned around and went into the kitchen, took a large bowl, and took out the rice from the steaming compartment of the space and put it in.
"Dad, you taste the taste, after tasting the taste, you will know how delicious this rice is, but the dishes are gone, only these pickles are lumps."
Lu Saburo looked at the crystal clear white rice, and hesitantly glanced at the village doctor, who nodded and signaled that it was okay to eat.
Glancing at Lu Tiantian again, Lu Tiantian picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into Lu Sanlang's hand: "Dad, eat." ”
Lu Saburo took the chopsticks, picked up a ball of rice and put it in his mouth, and in an instant, the soft and glutinous rice fragrance rushed directly to his mind through his taste buds.
After several mouthfuls of rice in a row, my mouth kept chewing, and the rice slid down my throat without the slightest discomfort of pulling my throat.
There was no need for Tian Tian to urge him anymore, Lu Saburo ate a bowl of rice in one go, and there was not a single grain of rice left, and the pot of pickle gnocchi had not been moved at all.
"Dad, how does it taste?" Lu Tiantian asked while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"It's delicious, I've never eaten such delicious rice, Uncle Lin, I don't know how deep the rat hole is, but I'll bring you as much as I can pull out."
