Chapter 55: Old Man Zhou
Time passed quickly, and on Saturday afternoon, He Yushui also came back from school, and the brother and sister naturally had a big meal again.
Early the next morning, MCA was waiting for He Yuzhu outside the hospital early.
Meng Xinglang drove a small car to pick up people in person.
For such a rare thing as "car pick-up", the people in the courtyard have become accustomed to it.
However, after MCA and He Yushui got into the car, their faces were full of novelty.
Looking around, it's like two curious babies.
"I still go to Aunt Wang's house today, and there are five old men.
Old man Xu, you have already seen it, as well as Old Man Huo, Old Man Meng, and Old Man Fang.
The other is an old doctor with his grandson. ”
As soon as he got in the car, Meng Xinglang stepped on the accelerator and went to the compound, and at the same time introduced the situation to He Yuzhu.
"Coupled with Aunt Wang's Xiao'an and Gangzi, this task is not easy."
"Hahaha, didn't I bring two helpers?"
He Yuzhu responded with a smile:
"Just, what's the matter with the old doctor?"
"Hahaha......"
When Meng Xinglang heard this, he couldn't help laughing:
"This old man Zhou, who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, was a military doctor when he was young.
Two days ago, I went to see Mr. Xu and asked about Mr. Xu's situation, and I talked about you.
This old man doesn't believe it,
When I learned that you were coming today, I specially brought my grandson to join in the fun. ”
"Well, I understand when you say that."
He Yuzhu nodded, and the two of them talked with each other, and soon arrived at the compound.
After getting out of the car, the three of them followed Meng Xinglang into Director Wang's house, and Director Wang was already waiting at the door.
"Pillar, yo, the rain is coming, come into the house."
Wang Aiying smiled and beckoned the four of them into the house.
On the sofa in the living room, there were five gray-haired old men, the youngest of whom looked to be in their sixties.
At this time, Old Man Xu was looking at the chess game with a sad face on the top of his head, the few hairs that could be counted at a glance.
He Yuzhu just glanced at the five of them as usual, then nodded at Director Wang and prepared to go to the kitchen.
At this moment, the one sitting opposite Old Man Xu,
The old man, who had a ruddy complexion and a tough body, suddenly raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu:
"Lao Xu, are you talking about this little comrade?"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, all five people around the chessboard looked up.
When Old Man Xu saw that He Yuzhu was coming, a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Xiao He is here? Hahaha, just in time. ”
As Old Man Xu spoke, he pointed to the old man who had just spoken:
"Lao Zhou is a doctor, as soon as I heard that you have conditioned my body, my heart is sour.
Later, you show him a hand and let him open his eyes. ”
When Old Man Xu said this, everyone present laughed.
"The junior He Yuzhu has seen Old Man Zhou, hello Old Man Zhou."
He Yuzhu respectfully saluted Old Man Zhou.
"Hahaha, don't listen to Lao Xu's nonsense, I heard Wenhua talk about you, so I'm here to take a look."
Old Man Zhou is very easy-going:
"This is my grandson Zhou Zishen, you young people can speak, can he give you a shot later?"
"Hahaha, if Comrade Zishen is willing, I can't ask for it."
He Yuzhu agreed.
Today, the Xu family set this table can be regarded as a family banquet, and the fact that Old Man Zhou can appear here is very revealing.
Subsequently, Old Man Xu introduced him to the three old men Huo, Fang, and Meng.
After He Yuzhu said hello one by one, several old men went to gather their hair around the chess game.
"Brother Zhuzi, I heard Grandpa Xu praise you for being a good cooker, and now I have a good mouth."
Zhou Zishen looks only about twenty years old, and he has grown up in a Chinese medicine pharmacy since he was a child.
Although I have a little bit in my heart, I look down on He Yuzhu's wild way.
But the upbringing he received since he was a child made him unable to do something out of the ordinary.
"Hey, that's it, let's get started."
He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, and took Yushui, Ma Hua and Zhou Zishen to the kitchen to work.
It can be seen that Director Wang has prepared a lot for this family banquet, with all kinds of fresh vegetables and meat.
Even some common Chinese medicines, and even tonic medicines, are all prepared for He Yuzhu to choose.
Old Man Zhou was born in a medical family, so naturally he didn't need He Yuzhu to bother with conditioning.
Old Man Xu, Old Man Huo, Old Man Fang, and Old Man Meng, although they have different symptoms, they all have losses in their early years.
The most nourishing thing is nothing more than a pot of ginseng quail soup, but the quail is not easy to make these days, so it can only be replaced by the common old hen.
Ginseng old hen soup can replenish qi and improve essence, promote qi and blood, and eliminate fatigue, which is suitable for the four old men who were deficient in their early years.
It's just that ginseng is not easy to grasp.
It's been too long, I'm afraid that the four old men won't be able to make up for it, and the effect will not be obvious for one or two years.
He Yuzhu finally chose a wild ginseng that was seven to eight years old.
Zhou Zishen was obviously very interested in this, and immediately picked up the ginseng while helping to deal with it, while asking the reason.
He Yuzhu glanced at Zhou Zishen and suddenly asked:
"Zishen, you come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, can you get quails? Live the best. ”
Zhou Zishen was slightly stunned at first, then reacted, and his eyes lit up:
"Would you like to stew a pot of ginseng quail soup?"
"Well, you must also know the physical condition of the four old men, to put it bluntly, they lost when they were young.
Ginseng and quail soup is the best choice to nourish qi, strengthen the spleen and lungs, calm the heart and intellect, nourish the blood and nourish the body. ”
As He Yuzhu spoke, he stared at several large medicines on the shelves, choosing suitable medicinal materials.
"There are a few at home, so I'll call someone to send them."
Zhou Zishen was talking and went out of the kitchen to make a call.
The space gives four old men medicinal food, which are:
Phoenix chestnut rice soup, osmanthus yam soup, spleen-strengthening cereal porridge, tangerine peel walnut porridge.
He Yuzhu picked out the materials he needed.
While Zhou Zishen helped deal with it, he listened to He Yuzhu talk about the medical principles.
The more I listened, the more surprised I became:
The chef in front of him may have the same knowledge of pharmacology as his grandfather.
"Master He, it's a pity that you are a chef, you should be a doctor and see a doctor to save people."
This is Zhou Zishen's true words.
"Hey, no matter what you do these days, you will serve the people, and if you have a stutter, you will be safe and stable."
He Yuzhu said with a smile and began to make soup.
Not long after the water in the casserole boiled, the quail arrived.
Two hours later, smelling the constant smell of the kitchen, everyone in the living room couldn't sit still.
Xu Gang, Liang Youan and several other juniors have already set the table.
got He Yuzhu's greeting, and began to busily serve food to the table.
There are two tables in the living room, one table for the old men and one table for He Yuzhu and his juniors.
After Wang Aiying settled the five old men, she also came over to sit at He Yuzhu's table to eat.
Old Man Zhou looked at the dishes on this table, and then looked at the staple foods such as soup and porridge placed next to the four old friends, and couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.
