Chapter 6: Apprenticeship

......

Erica went to the field and absentmindedly removed the grass from the field. When spring comes, the grass in the field grows rapidly, and if it is not removed in time, it is likely that the wheat will not have as many grass seeds. Erica glanced at Gary, and in order not to affect his work, she didn't tell him about Jiayi wanting to worship Yao Lao as a teacher for the time being.

Erica almost pulled the wheat seedlings several times before she relented and pulled the weeds first. After all, the world is big, and eating is the biggest.

Soon, the day was over, and Erica and Gary were ready to go home for dinner. At this time, Alikala stopped Gary and said, "Gary, wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" Gary wondered why Erica was holding him back when he was about to go back.

Erica frowned, hesitated, and said, "Gary, Jia Yi wants to study medicine with Yao Lao." (Actually, it's learning to make medicine, Yao Lao is not a doctor, but he can cure diseases)

"What, why?" Gary wondered, it didn't feel like a 4-year-old's decision, and it was too early to say that a poor man's child was in charge.

"Jia Yi said that Yao Lao is old, and he is afraid that Yao Lao will have an accident and no one will treat us, and he also said that it is very dangerous for you to go into the mountains to hunt, and he wants to learn to heal. ”

"It's... Nonsense, even if Yao Lao dies, isn't there still a doctor in the town, just stay away. Although the logic of Erica's words is confusing, Gary understands what Erica means, and Jiayi hopes to learn medicine and see a doctor to avoid being injured when he enters the mountain and has no time to heal, "Besides, isn't he afraid of Yao Lao?"

"Jia Yi said that the old man is actually good, and the old man is ''''' good wizard even if he is a wizard. Erica said to Gary.

Gary thought about it carefully and found that Yao Lao had indeed not done anything bad, but had cured many people, although many people had not been cured. In fact, there is no reason for the alienation of Yao Lao in the village, but Yao Lao has been in the outside world for a long time, and there are not many familiar people after he comes back.

And Gary also found that although Jia Yi has not been getting better for a long time, he has been stupid before, but he is actually a very thoughtful person, and he is more mature than most children.

"Let's go back and talk about it, I'm going to think about it. Gary said to Erica, and they went home.

......

Jia Yi practiced Tai Chi and stood on the pile, and the time was soon in the afternoon, and it was time to make dinner. Donna got home, and Kaichi packed up the clothes and quilts that had been dried outside, and began to cook dinner together.

Donna washed some of the wheat, lit a fire, poured it into a clay pot, and boiled it on a stove. Because there is no iron pot at home, there is no fixed stove. A small room on the east side was a kitchen, and there was a fire pit by the wall, and two stone stoves were in the fire pit. There is a flue above the fire pit that sends the smoke out of the house. Now, Donna is cooking wheat rice on a stove.

After Donna cooked the wheat rice, Kaichi came back from washing the mushrooms. Donna stretched out her hand to take the mushrooms and boil them, but Kaichi hurriedly let them go.

"Sister, let me cook mushrooms, I can think of a way to cook them deliciously. "Kaichi is fed up with the same white boiled xxx. No matter what, it is boiled in plain water, only a little salt or some onions, boiled wild vegetables, boiled animal meat, boiled mushrooms, no matter what, it is very bland. There are no other spices at home, only garlic and onions. There are no vegetables at home, mainly wild vegetables dug in the grove, only in autumn some radishes will be planted and stored, and they will be kept for the winter. Jiayi decided to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.

"Kaichi, can you?" Donna looked at Kayi with suspicion.

Jia Yi saw that Donna was not worried about herself, and hurriedly said: "Of course, don't want to eat delicious when the time comes..."

"Don't want it?" Donna muttered quietly, but didn't stop Kaichi. I don't know if it's for a little lazy stealing or for the sake of delicious food.

Kaichi put down the washed mushrooms and took a knife to cut a small piece of fatty meat on the bacon by the kitchen wall. When Donna saw it, she hurriedly stopped: "Jiayi, why are you cutting meat? This is to be kept for later." Jiayi ignored Donna's stopping, and said while cutting the meat, "It's okay, mushrooms and meat are delicious together, and Mom won't blame us." When my mother asked, you said I cut it. Jia Yi calculated that his mother would not blame him for this, after all, he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Kaichi washes the cut meat, cuts it into small pieces, and cuts off the fat meat separately. Then put a clay pot on the stove, heat it, put the fat in the pot first, and fry the oil. While frying, he said to Donna, "Sister, let's get some garlic for me." Donna saw that Jia had a good way to cook, so she went to peel the garlic. When the fat is all fried, put the lean meat in the pot and fry it until it changes color, chop the garlic that Donna peeled, and put it in the pot to fry until fragrant.

Jia Yi burst the pot, while beware of whether this clay pot can stand it, for fear of being burned. But fortunately, so far there has been no problem with the pot. After Jiayi stir-fried the pot, poured in the washed mushrooms and stir-fried, stir-fried for a while, and waited until each piece of mushrooms was stained with the oil fried by the salted meat, Jiayi poured water into the mushrooms and boiled.

After a while, the stewed mushrooms are boiling and the aroma fills the entire kitchen. "Suck!", Donna couldn't help but suck her saliva, "Jiayi, it's so fragrant!"

"Of course. Jia couldn't help but raise his head and face Donna, "I said I can make something delicious, and I can eat it later." ”

Jia waited for a while, opened the lid of the pot and saw that the water in it had dried up a little, and then extinguished the fire. I scooped a piece of mushroom with a spoon and tasted it, well, it was very fatty, and there was no need to put salt after adding the bacon meat, and the taste was just right. Jiayi was so moved that he almost cried, after so many days, he finally ate a decent meal.

Jia Yi scooped a piece of mushroom, handed it to Donna, and said proudly, "Sister, taste it, it's delicious!"

"Well, it's delicious! Jiayi, your cooking is delicious. You can do it in the future, Jiayi, what you make is better than your mother. After Donna tasted it, she couldn't help but say to Jiayi. However, it seems that the matter of cooking is also pushed to Kaichi. If you don't want to do something, don't do it, because you can shirk it, but if you do, you know how to do it, and many times you can't shirk it, such as cooking.

Can Jia Yi not accept it? Actually, he can't, because even if it's for his own appetite, he can't refuse.

......

Erica and Gary soon returned home, and it was not surprising to see that the meal was ready, because Donna had been cooking since she was 7 years old, and if her parents were working in the fields or hunting in the forest, Donna basically cooked. But when I smell the fragrance, I feel amazing.

Erica asked, "Nana, what did you do?

"Mom, I didn't do it, I did it. Donna replied to her mother, and then added, "It's mushroom stew." ”

Erica was stunned and felt stunned: "Can Jia Yi also cook?" Gary, Nana said that this stewed mushroom was made by Jia Yi, it is so fragrant. Erica said several words in a row. It's really different from what they've eaten before, and in Erica's memory, it seems that barbecue can't be compared. However, when I thought that Jia Yi was going to study at Yao Lao, I felt not very happy.

Elika glanced at Gary, who glanced at Erica and said, "Let's eat first, and let's have a taste of how Kaichi is doing." He whispered to Erica, "Let's talk about dinner!" Although this sentence was clueless, Erica knew that Gary was talking about Jiayi going to Yakura's apprenticeship.

Soon, dinner began.

Jiayi felt the solemnity of his parents, but he was still very satisfied with his first work in another world, the world is big, and the meal is the biggest.

After dinner, Gariliu Erica cleaned up in the kitchen, took Jiayi back to the bedroom, sat down and said to him, "Jiayi, your mother said that you want to go and learn medicine from Yao Lao?"

Kaichi lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

"What do you think, do you know that Yao Lao is a wizard?" Gary was inexplicably happy, but also upset by his choice.

"Dad, Yao Lao is the only pharmacist here, and after learning it, he doesn't have to worry about running out of food wherever he goes. And you are very vulnerable to injury when you go into the mountains to hunt, and I have learned that you are not afraid of getting hurt. Besides, the wizard's claims are just rumors from other people, who used to call me a fool. I want to learn something first. Jia Yi pondered the words and looked at Gary, hoping that Gary could feel the determination in his eyes.

Gary looked at Kaichi and didn't speak, and Kaichi also conveyed his determination to Gary, but he couldn't stand it for a while, because Kaichi felt so good. But Gary spoke first: "Are you sure you want to do this? You must learn from Yao Lao, and you won't regret it later?"

"Yes!" Jia Yi replied affirmatively, in fact, Jia Yi still didn't say a word in his heart, even if he didn't have anything else to learn except Yao Lao's pharmacist skills.

Gary thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, tomorrow we will go to Yao Lao and worship him as a teacher." ”

"Ah, Dad, do you agree?"

"Yes!" Gary glanced at Jia, as if worried about his IQ, "You go out first, I'll talk to your mother later." In fact, Gary has already felt it, although Jia Yi has been stupid for three years, he is different from other children in the village, he is more mature, and his ideas have been corrected. Gary regards this as because the white eyes of his childhood made Kaichi grow, and with Gary's experience, he would never think of crossing this matter.

As soon as Jia returned to the room, he still couldn't imagine that it was so simple, and his father Gary agreed. He was also ready to cry, make trouble, and hang himself three times before he did it. After all, it's good to agree, and Jiayi hopes that everything will go well tomorrow.
