Xiao Lu said: "Ai Chen, you go and take the luggage on the horse's back to the north house." Let's not cause trouble to others. ”

Xiaolu asked Ai Chen: "When I first entered the mountain gate, I heard the uncle say Doctor Bao, have you heard of this person?" Ai Chen said: "I have heard that Doctor Bao is a miracle doctor. I don't know why she is in this Xiaoling Mountain. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Divine doctor, then her medical skills must be very exquisite." Ai Chen: "Doctor Bao's ancestors have been famous medical gods for generations, and she has been exposed to the influence of her family since she was a child, treating diseases for the common people. She is a skilled doctor, knows acupuncture, and is good at treating all kinds of incurable diseases. That's why people respectfully call her Doctor Bao. ”

Xiaolu said: "Tomorrow I will visit Doctor Bao, let her take me as an apprentice, and learn to help the people heal." Ai Chen said: "Okay! Xiaolu, you have such a good idea. ”

Early in the morning, Ai Chen and Xiaolu were woken up by the sound of birds, and the two walked out of the north house to see the uncle and Mrs. Bao hoeing in the vegetable garden.

Xiao Lu said: "Ai Chen, the people here are all old, weak, sick and disabled, let's clean the yard!" The two of them found brooms and carefully swept up the leaves and garbage in the yard.

At this time, Uncle Bao and Doctor Bao also finished hoeing grass and came out of the vegetable garden, Xiao Lu and Ai Chen stepped forward, Xiao Lu said: "Meet Doctor Bao, can you accept me as an apprentice!" ”

Doctor Bao said with a smile: "The matter of accepting apprentices, let's talk about it later, let's make some gnocchi to eat today!" Xiao Lu said: "We still have some beef, I'll make a carrot beef stew." ”

Doctor Bao was very happy to see Xiaolu being well-behaved, "There are carrots in the vegetable garden, just pick some green vegetables, you go pick some!" The elderly in this nursing home have not eaten beef for a long time, and they can supplement their nutrients. ”

Xiaolu and Ai Chen went to the vegetable garden to pull some carrots and greens and take them to the well and wash them with water. Ai Chen went to the room to bring beef, and the two entered the kitchen.

At this time, the uncle had already adjusted the batter, Ai Chen went to the back to open the bellows, added firewood and grass, the fire was big, and the water in the cauldron boiled.

Holding the basin in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, the uncle picked some batter into the pot and quickly melted it with chopsticks until all the batter went down to the pot. Then sprinkle the chopped greens into the pot, the water boils again, and the uncle adds the gnocchi to dozens of bowls.

Ai Chen helped cut the beef and the carrots into cubes. Blanch the beef, put a little oil in the pot, pour the beef into the stir-fry, add water, and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour the carrots into the pan and cook together for another 20 minutes. Add some salt, green onions, ginger and garlic, stir-fry to reduce the juice. Add a small spoonful of beef stew with carrots and pour it on the dough tower, and a bowl of delicious beef stew with carrots is complete.

Doctor Bao said: "We will send these to the room of the nursing home and give everyone a bowl to eat. "The old, weak, sick and disabled, after eating, they all praise that today's meal is delicious, is it selling medicinal herbs to save money and improve food."

After eating, Dr. Bao organized the old, weak, sick and disabled to do what she could. Some people mend clothes, some people plant some bud rice, some people chop herbs, and some people dry herbs.

In the center of the courtyard is a huge stone mill, more than 2 meters long, 50 centimeters wide, and 60 centimeters high, like a small boat. Ai Chen said: "This is a stone mill, which is used to grind medicinal materials into powder, so as to further make pills, powders, ointments, pills and other medicines. ”

Xiao Lu said: "I have never seen such a big stone mill. Doctor Bao said: "Xiaolu, don't you want to worship me as a teacher?" If you can push the stone mill, I will take you as an apprentice. When Xiao Lu heard this, her eyes flashed with excitement.

Doctor Bao originally wanted to embarrass Xiaolu and let her retreat. Shi Nian Zi is less than 200 catties, Xiaolu is only 14 years old, how can a girl push it. The people around laughed when they heard it. "The little girl can push the stone mill, we have lived here for ten years, and we haven't seen that person push the stone mill."

Xiao Lu and Ai Chen brought some medicinal herbs and put them in the stone mill. I saw Xiao Lu grabbing the round wheel of the stone mill with both hands, and slowly rolling the round wheel back and forth on the stone mill, one back and forth, two back and forth, the movement gradually accelerated, and the people around were stunned.

A stone mill is a traditional herb grinding tool, usually made of stone. It has a cylindrical shape with a groove on it where herbs can be placed. The movement of the stone mill with both hands can grind the herbs into a powder for subsequent medicine making and use.

The use of stone mills can grind the herbs more delicately, increase the absorption and penetration of the medicine, and make the curative effect of the herbs better exerted.

First of all, it is very crucial to choose fresh herbal ingredients. These herbs usually include parts of the plant, such as roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. They need to be harvested at the right time and in the right way to maintain the integrity of their active ingredients.

During the pushing process, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining a certain rhythm and strength to avoid excessive force causing the stone grinder to slip off or damage the herbs. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the degree of grinding of the herbs, and control the use time of the stone mill as needed.

People were stunned, this girl is really a god! Doctor Bao was also surprised, "Xiaolu, you are really very capable." His face did not change color, and his heart did not beat violently. ”

Doctor Bao looked at Xiao Lu, her eyes were full of approval, "Xiao Lu, what kind of technique are you using, and you are using it like fire." ”

Xiao Lu didn't explain much, she didn't want the people of the Equatorial Continent to know where she came from.

Hundreds of back and forth, the medicinal herbs changed from large to small, from small to powder. When Ai Chen counted to two hundred and ten, "Xiaolu, you can stop, the medicinal herbs have become powder." Xiao Lu slowly stopped.

Xiao Lu said to Doctor Bao: "You can take me as an apprentice this time!" Doctor Bao said: "Yes, yes." I will accept you as a closed disciple. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Master Bao, I heard Ai Chen say, you are a miracle doctor, how can you live in seclusion here!" Dr. Bao said: "When I saw people, I took in many patients whose families were poor and had no money to see a doctor, and I treated them for free, and later more and more people were taken in. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Master Bao is really a bodhisattva, no wonder so many people praise you." ”

Doctor Bao said: "I had to use my savings for many years to buy a piece of land in this Xiaoling Mountain and build this nursing home. Now the surrounding people are frail and sickly, and the homeless old people have come to the nursing home. ”

During the lunch break, Ai Chen asked, "Xiaolu, let me look at your hands, there is no abrasion on the skin at all, not even a little blister." Xiao Lu said, "I used the Bright Star's versatile pusher. ”

Ai Chen sighed: "This method is really unpredictable. Xiao Lu said: "Constantly pushing the stone mill can improve your internal strength." ”

Xiao Lu said: "Master Bao, you are kind-hearted and accumulate virtue. Much like my orphanage director on Bright Star. Ai Chen said: "Your Bright Star's orphanage master must be a kind old man and a respectable elder. ”
