Turning the day, today is the twelfth, it is suitable for travel, marriage, moving, etc., so it is just right to return to the door today.

Since I want to go back to the door, I have to bring gifts, and I have to go there a little earlier.

I still have to go to work today, so I can't ask for leave.

I took a day off to get married, which is already very good, and I still want to ask for leave when I go back?

Dongzhimen Pigeon Market, sweating profusely for many years, finished training, wiped sweat, changed into tattered clothes, and walked in.

In the quiet pigeon market, there are still many people who come today, and fruits such as pears are still the protagonists.

Around the capital, there are not many seasonal fruits in this season, except for the big white pear, which is the apple.

However, apples are sour to death, and it is really rare to encounter big, sweet and red apples.

For many years today, I have come across two baskets of red apples.

"Comrade, how do you sell this apple?"

Such a good-looking red apple, if you don't go directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy and sell, why do you still run to the pigeon market?

Could the prices be higher?

Without waiting for the other party to speak, there was another person next to him for many years, the same person who asked about the price of apples.

Obviously, this red apple is quite popular, and the price is quite scary, actually a dime a penny.

The man next to him turned green when he heard this price, and said angrily:

"At the price you're selling, who's going to buy it? Wait for you to die. ”

I frowned for many years, but I still asked if I could do it less?

The apple seller is not like a farmer, but like a second-class dealer, and when he hears the rumors, he asks how much money he can give for many years.

"How about three cents a pound?"

The price of big white pears is very cheap, only two cents and five cents a catty, and red apples are sold so expensive, it is estimated that this second-class dealer in front of him wants to live in a strange goods.

However, as soon as he said three cents a catty, as soon as this price came out, the second dealer's face suddenly turned black as ink, and he waved his hand to let him leave for many years.

Leave and leave!

Anyway, the price of one dime is so expensive, I really don't believe it, which sand sculpture is willing to pay such a price.

In the capital in the 50s, although there were still many capitalists stranded in the city, these people would not be stupid and slaughtered.

After all, you can buy sweet and delicious big white pears for two or three cents, so why pay such a high price to buy red apples?

After many years of leaving, it didn't take long for someone to carry a goat weighing forty or fifty pounds to sell.

The smell of mutton is quite strong, and it is divided into two baskets, and there are two people gathered in front of the stall.

The price is also good, not particularly expensive, it is the market price of six cents a catty.

The supply and marketing cooperatives sell five cents a pound, but the supply and marketing cooperatives need meat tickets to buy them, and meat like beef and sheep is actually not very popular, and fat pork is everyone's favorite.

When confirming the price, he didn't care about the people next to him for many years, and directly asked the stall owner to give him the full name, and he himself directly took out three big solidarities.

"Why are you like this? We still have to buy it, comrade, don't listen to him, everything has to be first come, first come."

The two people who wanted to buy meat next to them suddenly muttered dissatisfiedly for many years, and then urged the stall owner to cut the meat quickly.

And the meat that the stall owner cuts is a very beautiful part, and the other bad parts are not wanted.

is so picky, the stall owner is not used to the two of them, and directly carries the two baskets and weighs them.

The calves of lamb are all bones, and they are not light, so no one likes them.

But if the other party is so picky, the stall owner will naturally be more willing to sell for many years.

"Weighed, except for the basket, one side is twenty-five pounds and three taels, and the other side is twenty-seven pounds and five taels, in total."

After many years, he quickly calculated the result: "A total of fifty-two catties and eight taels, according to the price of six cents a catty, a total of thirty-one pieces and six cents and eight cents, right?" ”

When the stall owner heard this, he looked at it in surprise for many years, and then lowered his head and continued to calculate.

It was a long time before he gave a thumbs up to many years and said:

"Comrade, your calculations are really good, you can calculate quickly and accurately. That's right, it's thirty-one cents, six cents and eight cents. ”

As long as you practice more mathematics, it's not surprising that your mental arithmetic speed is so fast.

With a smile, he handed the other party thirty-two yuan, and after many years of getting back the three cents and two cents of change, he put the mutton on both sides into the basket behind him.

Today, it was supposed to be a big purchase, or for many years, I came to the pigeon market every day and did a lot of work.

So, the back basket and bag must be ready.

After buying the lamb, he left the pigeon market directly, and returned to the pigeon market again a few minutes later, he had already changed people.

The mutton has been thrown into the space by him, and it is also wrapped in oiled paper and newspaper, so that when he returns to the courtyard next time, he can take it out directly.

Returning to the pigeon market again, he bought a lot of coarse grains and fine grains for many years.

However, most people don't sell much grain, basically ten or twenty catties of grain.

Because this weight is not heavy, it is also very easy to trade.

The second is that it may be all or the most food they can get out of their own homes.

When he was about to take the grain out and put it in the pigeon market, he happened to see the old man, the old Chinese medicine doctor who claimed to be a mountain village husband.

He quickly left the pigeon market, then changed back into his last outfit and returned to the old Chinese medicine doctor.

By the time he arrived, there were already several people gathered in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor, and everyone was looking at the goods in the back basket placed in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor's booth.

A big back basket with a lot of Chinese medicine, prey, wild vegetables and the like, all good things.

"Old comrade, how do you sell all these things?"

He squatted down to talk, and the old Chinese medicine doctor was about to reply, when he saw his face for many years clearly, and couldn't help but say:

"I think I've seen you."

"Of course, didn't we just meet once last month? At that time, I bought the good goods you brought, such as wild boar meat and old mountain ginseng."

Hearing him say this, the old Chinese medicine doctor also suddenly came to his senses and nodded with a smile.

After a few words of greeting, the old Chinese medicine doctor entered the process of buying and selling, and sold these goods for money.

The prey in the basket was a stupid roe deer that he hadn't seen for many years, and he didn't ask for this meat, so he was bought by someone else.

However, traditional Chinese medicine, wild mushrooms, etc., were taken down by him.

After a while, all the things in the old Chinese medicine doctor's back basket were bought by everyone.

It can be seen that the old Chinese medicine doctor who has sold the mountain goods has a happy expression on his face.

For many years, I took the opportunity to communicate with each other and asked if if ordinary people want to learn Chinese medicine on their own, what book to read first?

The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at him, but did not puncture his careful thoughts.

"If you want to learn Chinese medicine on your own if you have no foundation in Chinese medicine, you first need to memorize and memorize the "Medicinal Properties", "Tangtou Song Recipe", "Medical Three Character Sutra", "Pulse Recipe Complete Volume", etc."

"There are many pulses in the Complete Scroll of Pulses, and all the symptoms of the twenty-eight pulses must be memorized."

"In addition, it is necessary to memorize and understand more than 300 kinds of Chinese medicine flowers, branches, leaves, bark, roots, whole herbs, fruits, etc."

The front is okay, he has been thinking that he can do it for many years, but when he heard the back, he was dumbfounded.

For example, the understanding of mineral medicine, the identification of animal medicine, etc., and learn the cutting and stir-frying of commonly used drugs, such as the ginger juice processing of Banxia, the sand scalding processing of strychnine, the forging of mineral medicine, such as the vinegar forging of natural copper, etc.

These are all the ways that ancient Chinese medicine must go through, and they must also be learned.

After all, in ancient times, if a Chinese medicine practitioner could not make a medicinal soup, he would not be a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner at all.

"My master's best skill is that a citrus aurantium shell can be cut into 108 pieces, and the pieces are as thin as cicada wings, and my master said at that time that if you can do this step, you can leave the school."

After listening to the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, he swallowed his saliva for many years, although he didn't know what the citrus aurantium shell was, but when he heard that it could be cut into one hundred and eight slices as thin as cicada wings, he knew that it was not so easy to do.

Not to mention anything else.

"Old comrade, are there any other books that need to be read? For example, what is the typhoid theory or something? ”

I don't want to say if I can do it, anyway, I am very grateful to the other party for many years, after all, the other party has shown him the way.

"Well, this typhoid theory has to be seen." The old Chinese medicine doctor looked at it with a smile for many years, and then said:

"There is also "Jin Kui Yaolu", "Medical Sect Jinjian", "Theory of Current Diseases", "Differentiation of Warm Diseases", "Fu Qing Master Male and Female Departments" and so on."

"That's about it, wait for you, oh, when your friend learns this, you'll almost be ready to become a teacher."

After chatting about this, the old Chinese medicine doctor left.

Before leaving, many years ago, I asked the other party when he would come next?

The old Chinese medicine doctor said that he couldn't say for sure, the difference was that he would go to the city once in ten days and a half months.

After many years of looking at the back of the other party leaving, he also got up and left the pigeon market with the basket.

Today I came to the right place and learned a lot.

Traditional Chinese medicine is really not something that ordinary people can learn, just a large number of medical books that need to be memorized in front of it are enough to discourage many people.

After walking for a while, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to ask the old Chinese medicine doctor about rectal cancer.

I wonder if it is possible for Chinese medicine to cure rectal cancer?

Perhaps only excision surgery is the best treatment effect that can be achieved at present, right?

Of course, cancer is divided into morning, noon and late stages, and if it has not spread, it is natural to have surgery to recover.

But if it's late, it's all a countdown to life.

I went to the primary school campus near the courtyard again, and ran for about 20 minutes, all of which were 100-meter sprints and used all my strength.

Then I went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative, bought two catties of pork and went home.

Back near the courtyard, he found a place where no one was and took the mutton down.

Walking into the yard, he put one of the one-pound pork pieces into Lao Xu's kitchen.

Zhou Hongmei saw him come in with pork, and complained that he was spending money indiscriminately, but this time with a smile and a groaning expression, more anger than blame.

"Mom, I paid my salary yesterday, and today I will buy some meat for you two elders to replenish your body."

Although they are separated, they are still close relatives, which has not changed.

Although Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei have many shortcomings, if they draw a clear line with the second elder for many years, it is estimated that it will hurt the heart of the second elder.

Actually, it's good now, after all, distance produces beauty.

No matter what time it is, children are often in front of their parents, and they are always considered to be unproductive, and their parents are short, and they are inevitably noisy every day.

But if you are not in front of your parents, as long as you come back, no matter how you mix outside, you can be loved by your parents.

Distance will really deepen people's thoughts.

The two sisters-in-law, Fan Zhaodi and Hu Meifeng, who were still eating with the second elder, were about to salivate when they saw the pork.

Then they saw the leg of mutton in the basket behind them for many years, and could not help exclaiming:

"His third uncle, is this mutton?"

Fan Zhaodi walked around, stood behind him for many years, and saw the tightly wrapped mutton in the back basket.

Half of the sheep is divided into two lamb legs and one side of the lamb chops, a total of more than 20 catties, which looks a lot.

"Yes, didn't I go back to the door today, I just saw mutton for sale at Desheng Gate, so I bought it."

Many years nodded, and then said to Zhou Hongmei, Mom, I'll go back to the house first.

Watching him leave, Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi reluctantly withdrew their gazes, and thought sourly: is also the daughter-in-law of the old Xu family, why is the gap always so big?

No contrast, no harm!

Look at Qin Huairu, how good a small life is, there are so many houses, there is meat to eat, and now I read and study carefully in the study every day.

This Xu Laosan didn't marry a daughter-in-law and go home, but married a student to go home.

The two of them didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Laosan's gourd, Qin Huairu was so old, what else could he learn?

What exactly they can learn, I'm afraid it's not for them to guess.

When she got home, Qin Huairu hadn't made breakfast yet, so she walked into the kitchen for many years and took a look.

So I took out the cutting board directly, cut some pork, shiitake mushrooms and shredded ginger, and put them in the pot where the millet porridge was boiling:

"Eat lean porridge today, and add some peanut oil later, it will definitely be delicious."

Then he sighed again and said:

"If you have chives planted in the vegetable field at the door, you can pick some green onion seedlings now and put some green onion flowers on top of the millet porridge, which is the delicacy of the world."

As a classic side dish, green onions are an indispensable garnish on the table.

Qin Huairu smiled when she heard this, "Brother Anian, you are just poor and exquisite, who will put green onions if you have nothing to do?" It's not delicious! ”

"You haven't tasted southern food before, and when I have a chance in the future, I will take you to taste it, and I guarantee that you will have an endless aftertaste."

Among the eight major cuisines in China, there are three southern cuisines: Cantonese cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine and Fujian cuisine, and in later generations, Cantonese cuisine is a world-famous dish that is famous all over the world.

"Don't do it, it's a waste of money to go out to eat!" Qin Huairu shook her head, she still thought it was better to cook at home.

I didn't argue with her about this for many years.

Although he also thinks that it will be good to cook by himself, after all, only he knows his own tastes.

But there are also a lot of delicacies in the restaurants outside, which are worth tasting.

It's a pity that it's hard to find some local specialties now, after all, everyone is very poor now, and they all eat the same, so why bother to make food? It's nice to have something to eat.

Therefore, Qin Huairu is really not wrong when he says that he is poor and exquisite.

In the courtyard outside, Sanxiao and Xu Wumei had already run in, because they had already smelled the fragrance.

"Third uncle, third uncle, it's so fragrant, what kind of breakfast did you make this morning?"

In the entire courtyard, the fragrance spreads, after all, even with the windows closed, the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms is very strong.

And you can't stop it.

The fragrance of those artificially cultivated shiitake mushrooms in later generations can only be said to be average, but the taste of wild mushrooms is really different.

Jia Dongxu, who was standing on the steps and brushing his teeth, smelled the mushrooms and couldn't help but take a few more breaths.

Fortunately, the rich shiitake mushroom flavor masks the meaty taste.

People who don't smell carefully, or who are not very sensitive to smell, really can't smell it.

He Yushui, Liu Guangtian and other half-grown children were already screaming, and the former came to the door of the house for many years, standing and shouting several times.

She also wants to eat shiitake mushrooms.

After a while, the three little ones in the house came out, and He Yushui walked in.

"Xiaoqian, what do you do at your third uncle's house? Why is it so fragrant? ”

"Of course the shiitake mushrooms are fragrant, the shiitake mushrooms that my third uncle just bought this morning, I heard that the old man just picked them and sold them in the city not long ago."

Hearing this, He Yushui was speechless.

Do you have to get up early to pick shiitake mushrooms?

After all, it's only six o'clock now, which is very early, and it has been bought back for many years, so the old man who sells shiitake mushrooms went into the mountains to pick them at three or four o'clock, right?

It's normal for her not to know any of this.

After all, picking shiitake mushrooms is to take advantage of the morning, at three or four o'clock in the morning, when it is almost five o'clock to go out of the mountain and into the city to sell, just in time for the morning market at six o'clock.

"Be careful, it's hot, I'll serve it, Xiaomei, you get out of the way."

Many years of voices came from the kitchen, and then he was seen coming out with a pot of porridge.

The porridge in the pot is not small, and the rich fragrance makes He Yushui and the three little ones swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.

It's so fragrant!

"Xiaoru, wash your hands and eat breakfast."

After a while, including He Yushui, a total of six people sat and ate breakfast.

He Yushui drank half a bowl and left.

She didn't dare to eat more, because although there were many people in the pot, there were also many people.

It's nice to be able to taste a small half bowl.

After a while, she brought a handful of candy from her house, and the three little ones didn't react much.

Because obviously, the mushroom and lean porridge in front of you is more fragrant.

As for the candy, they usually don't eat less, and eating too much candy will cause tooth decay, so forget it.

Putting down the candy, He Yushui came next door and knocked on the door of her brother's house.

"Brother, why are you still sleeping? It's a shame that you're still a chef, and you're not as good as someone else's cooking skills for many years......"

As soon as she walked in, she was out.

He Yuzhu, who had just gotten up, was already a little confused, but after listening to it, he was even more confused: What is his sister talking about?

"You said that Xu Laosan's cooking skills are even better than mine?"

He Yuzhu's face was full of disbelief, as if he had heard some big joke.
