The person who peeked was He Lian, Cheng Zhao and Wu Yong's two half-sisters He Ye He Hua.

Originally, they were all in the East House with their grandmother to listen to Zhang Zhongjing's story of treating diseases and saving people over the years, but when a group of people gathered at the door to look for Wu Yong, they didn't have the heart to listen.

The old lady's mind was open, and seeing that everyone was a little absent-minded, she spoke first: "Old, I feel a little lacking in energy for a while, Zhongjing, you come today, you have to stay for a little longer, so that Yong'er can learn more from you." ”

Zhang Zhongjing got up and excused himself: "Grandmother's kindness, Zhongjing understands it, and I have to go to see a doctor in the past two days, so I really can't stay longer." ”

The old lady waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I'm a little tired, you go and play with Yong'er." ”

Everyone left from the east house one after another, and when they went out of the courtyard gate, Zhang Zhongjing said goodbye to He Lian and them, and walked towards Wu Yong, who was making a bench.

Although He Lian and the girls were curious, they still didn't dare to go over, after all, there were too many people gathered at the door at this time, so they could only hide behind the gate and watch the lively scene not far away.

After watching it for a while, He Lian's heart that had been hanging behind the door gradually relaxed, because she suddenly found that her nominal brother was very serious and meticulous when he was working, and his focused appearance made He Lian a little obsessed.

At this moment, He Lian felt that she had a deer in her heart, fluttering and jumping non-stop. This is not a fear, but a kind of emotion that she can't explain and can't explain, looking at Wu Yong, her face is as if she has drunk wine, delicate and crimson.

Cheng Zhao didn't have so much thought about He Lian, she looked at Wu Yong's calm and calm maneuver with everyone, and only felt that there was light on her face.

Because of their young age, the two younger sisters looked lively, and they wanted to go over to watch several times, but they were all pulled back by Cheng Zhao.

I don't know how long later, Guo Shi came out of the kitchen and shouted at a few people: "What are you guys doing standing there stupidly!" I didn't come to help, I boiled hot water, you can bring a pot and put it on the table, and take some more bowls casually. ”

Then he said to Cheng Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, there are still extra clay pots at home, all of them have been found, there are so many people, one pot is definitely not enough." ”

Cheng Zhao answered, went to the east wing room to rummage, and soon found two clay pots that looked a little cracked, poured out all the dried grass and leaves inside, and rinsed them with water a few times, and then filled them with boiling water and sent them to everyone outside the door.

Guo Fei has been chatting for so long, he has long been a little thirsty, and when he saw that there was boiling water, he was not polite, he put the pottery bowls away, poured them full, and then picked up a bowl of boiling water, blew it a few times, and drank it in small sips.

Just a small sip, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he came to his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but ask Wu Yong with some doubts: "Virtuous nephew, your boiling water is so strange, it smells refreshing, and it is cool and sweet to drink!" ”

While Guo Fei was puzzled, his eyes became more and more strange when he looked at Wu Yong.

In just two days of contact, this thirteen-year-old boy brought him too much shock, yesterday's stir-fry has made him feel extremely surprised, and today's square table and bench have opened his eyes.

"I said Guo Fei, you are a rich man, how can you praise the juniors, but your behavior is too unsightly, what can water be special."

Someone was not convinced, and while talking, he picked up a bowl of boiling water and drank it.

"Yes, yes, this boiling water is sweet in the mouth, take a sip and invigorate your spirits, it is really different!"

Wu Yong was also puzzled, picked up the bowl, tasted it, and tasted it carefully for a while, and suddenly understood, isn't this mint water?

Peppermint is a good thing, as one of the commonly used Chinese medicines, it has both medical and edible functions. It is not only a cold sweating and antipyretic, but also a good medicine for external treatment of neuralgia and itchy skin. Usually use mint instead of tea, which can clear the heart and eyes.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong hurriedly ran to the kitchen and asked excitedly, "Where is the mint?" ”

Seeing Guo Shi and the others looking at him with a confused expression, Wu Yong reacted that the mint at this time should be used as an ornamental plant, and people don't know its use, or even the name.

He immediately explained: "It's the leaves in the clay pot just now, and it smells like a special fragrance." ”

Cheng Zhao was stunned, she didn't expect Wu Yong to say the useless leaves of hay she had just thrown away, and couldn't help but ask with some confusion: "What do you want to do?" There are many rooms in the east wing, which are used to repel insects. ”

Wu Yong smiled, "You go get some, I'll get you something delicious." ”

After a while, Cheng Zhao walked in with a bamboo basket of mint leaves.

Wu Yong took it and took a look, good guy, there are still dry soil on many leaves, but there is no doubt that they are mint leaves.

Wu Yong sifted briefly, picked out a handful of clean-looking mint leaves, put them in a clay pot, mixed them with boiling water, covered them with a lid, and simmered for about three minutes, before pouring out a few bowls of mint water.

"Let's try it and see what this mint water tastes like?"

As he spoke, Wu Yong took the lead in picking up a bowl, put it on and blew it, and then gently took a small sip, as the mint water entered his throat, an incomparably familiar rich fragrance spread out in his mouth, and quickly turned into a long sweetness.

"Delicious~" is still the familiar taste, but it seems to be more charming, and the sweetness is mixed with a primitive natural astringency, and the aftertaste is endless.

When the women in the kitchen saw Wu Yong's joyful drinking, they all picked up a bowl each, followed Wu Yong's example, took a small sip, and began to taste it.

"It's delicious, sweet, and cool." The two young girls also drank one sip after another, regardless of the heat of the water.

At this moment, Zhang Ji walked to the door of the kitchen excitedly, and asked Wu Yong in a very excited tone, "Brother Wu Jiaxian, where did this water come from, I found that it has the effect of clearing heat and relieving cold." ”

Wu Yong thought to himself that Zhang Ji really deserved to be a medical saint, just by drinking a sip of water, he could find the effect of peppermint, which was really amazing.

Seeing that he was so excited, he immediately pointed to the remaining mint leaves and told him truthfully.

"No, that's it, Brother Zhang came to taste this bowl, the effect is even worse."

Zhang Ji took the bowl handed over by Wu Yong, drank it in three or two sips, and then touched the dried mint leaves and asked, "What is this, why have I never heard of it before." ”

Wu Yong touched his nose, he didn't know what this mint was called in the Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, He Lian frowned and thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "This seems to be a cocoon, which is mentioned in Yangziyun's "Ganquan Fu". ”

Zhang Ji patted his head, "It's true, this sister has a good memory." ”

Wu Yong didn't expect that her titular sister was so knowledgeable, and there didn't seem to be any classics she didn't know.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a sound of carriage and horses at the door.
