Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 20 Studying Medicine
Continuing to draw big cakes with carrots, Li Hongbing tricked away half a basket of carrots from Heijiao, and it was too late to react, Heijiao sadly picked up the remaining carrots, turned around and rushed into the meadow to run away from home.

Ow!Ow!
Silly sheep, his brain is broken.

The little wolf dogs looked at the simple-minded new member with well-developed limbs away from the back, wagging their tails and ran to the kitchen to complain to their father.

Carrots are washed to remove soil, cut into large pieces, and thrown into the tumbling bacon soup.

Looking at the time, it has been half an hour since you woke up, you can start cutting the noodles.

Pour the dough that has expanded several times in the porcelain basin on the chopping board, and then divide the dough evenly into small dough.

Li Hongbing took out his ancestral jujube wood rolling pin, and gently rolled the dough into a round dough, then folded the dough into a dough cake, cut the dough along one end with a kitchen knife, and handmade noodles with uniform thickness and different lengths came out of the oven.

"Master!" Sha Wa came back with a large bundle of wild onions and leeks.

Li Hongbing didn't raise his head, and continued to cut the noodles, "Wash it clean and bring it here,"

Oh!
Shawa walked to the well with wild vegetables.

soon.

The chopping board was full of noodles, estimated to weigh about [-] catties. If you tell people that this is just a meal for one person, it will probably drive people crazy.

The unique salty aroma of bacon wafted from the cauldron on the stove, and the soup was thick and white.

Li Hongbing took the wild leek from Shawa's hand, chopped it and cut it into thumb lengths.

Pour oil into the pot, sprinkle dried chili, onion, ginger, and garlic, put in the unique black bean sauce in the forest area and saute until fragrant, then pour the chopped wild leeks into the pot.

Stab it!

As soon as the leeks come into contact with shredded pork and seasonings, a scent of spicy vegetables immediately fills the entire kitchen, and even the little ones playing outside are attracted to the door.

Continue to stir-fry with the spatula until the leeks are soft, add cold water to cover the leeks, and simmer slowly.

A golden sunset glows in the sky.

Over the Caogou Village, there is a faint smoke rising from the kitchen.

Under the old oak tree in the front yard, the silly boy set up the square table and set up the bowls and chopsticks early.

A pot of carrot and bacon soup, a pot of cured trotters, a large plate of bacon, and a pot of spicy shredded pork and leek topping.

The four little guys squatted beside the square table with bowls in their mouths, just waiting for the meal to be served.

"The meal is here!"

With a shout, Li Hongbing and Shawa came out of the kitchen each holding a porcelain basin, which was filled with hot, handmade noodles just out of the pan.

First fill the rice bowls of the little ones with noodles, pour bacon soup, bacon trotters, and bacon.

The four rice bowls are lined up, and the little wolf dogs stand behind their respective bowls, raising their heads to look at their masters, and the silly boy is also holding a porcelain bowl.

"Let's eat!"

With an order, the already hungry little wolf dogs immediately buried their heads in eating, and the silly boy also flew up and down with his chopsticks, sucking the noodles in the basin into his stomach with his mouth like a vacuum.

"Eat slowly, don't just eat white water noodles, eat meat."

Li Hongbing picked up the plate, poured most of the bacon into the Shawa basin, and poured half of the toppings into it.

Take good care of everyone, big and small.

Li Hongbing slowly picked up a piece of cured pig's trotter, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.

Watching the sunset, eating handmade noodles, these days are comfortable!

With the last ray of sunlight, it also dimmed.

Dim lights lit up on the paddy field.

The silly boy cleaned up the dishes.

Li Hongbing was lying in the rocking chair, looking at the clear and bright night sky, the stars seemed to be embedded in a piece of pure black jade, dazzling and dazzling.

The little ones, who were full, took a nap beside the rocking chair, and when there was a slight disturbance, they immediately raised their heads and looked around sharply.

As for Black Horn, that guy didn't come back until dark.

Taking its origin and exchanging its chance of survival is an equivalent exchange.

After all, the wild is untamable, let it go!

……

Enter Caogou Village at night.

Time seems to slow down, the sky and the earth are quiet, and the crisp and melodious singing of nightingales echoes over the meadow from time to time.

Now in April, the temperature at night is still very low. If it comes to summer, there will be one after another of melodious insects singing one after another at night, and patches of fireflies are flying in the meadow.

The beauty cannot be described in words.

The bright and clear moonlight passed through the branches and leaves of the old oak tree, and scattered spots on the concrete floor in the front yard. A gust of cool wind brushed over his face, waking Li Hongbing up from his comfort.

Looking at the time, it's only eight o'clock. This time is in the city, and the nightlife has just begun.

Country life is indeed monotonous.

I really don't know how Dakui and the others survived.

Li Hongbing, who hadn't adjusted his biological clock, didn't feel sleepy.

Thinking of planning to study medicine to cover up the heart of nature.

Get up from the rocking chair, the movement wakes up the little wolf dogs, they also get up, and the silly boy who is dozing off beside him also wakes up.

"Everyone go to bed, I'll go and read a book."

After speaking, Li Hongbing walked into the main room and the stairs leading to the second floor.

The second floor is Grandpa's study. When Grandpa is around, no one is allowed to enter, not even Grandma. Li Hongbing sneaked in once, only to see that there are many books and medicinal materials inside.

Pull down the light cord by the study door.

pat!

Lights illuminate the entire study.

There is no change from memory.

The study is very spacious, covering more than 30 square meters, and the floor is paved with dark red slatted wooden boards. Although no one has stepped in for a long time, Li Hongbing can still smell the strong smell of medicinal materials.

There are four walls in the house, the medicine cabinet occupies one entire wall, the landscape calligraphy and painting occupies another wall, the other wall is bookcases, and the remaining wall is a folding door, which allows sunlight to enter the study and overlook the entire front yard.

The furnishings in the study are simple and unsophisticated. There is a desk and a chair near the folding door.

Under the dim light, the dark red surface of the desk and the desk chair shines with a low-key and rich luster. Sitting in the chair and feeling it silently, the armrests and desk chair do not feel cold at all, but have a warm and slippery feeling like jade.

This is patina!

As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

Although Li Hongbing doesn't know much about antiques, he has worked in Mingzhu City for many years and has met many customers who love antiques.

The writing table and grand master's chair in front of me are definitely old objects from the engravings, workmanship and patina on them. If they are placed in Mingzhu City, the price should not be cheap.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone, paperweight, water bowl, incense burner, teacups, and strange stones placed on the desk are simple and feel like antiques.

Unexpectedly, grandpa not only has good medical skills, but also knows how to collect.

Dad has such a big heart!

A room full of antiques is placed here, no matter whether you don’t ask, you are not afraid of thieves.

Li Hongbing shook his head and walked to the medicine cabinet. There were swabs marked on each drawer.

I found the ginseng drawer, it was empty when I opened it, and I looked at the other drawers, there was not even a rat droppings in it, maybe Grandpa knew that the deadline was approaching, so he cleaned up the medicine cabinet in advance.

Before he came to the bookshelf, there were all kinds of medical books on it. Li Hongbing didn't know any of these books. As a medical white man, he was learning medicine from scratch and no one took him with him. The difficulty level can be called hell level.

His eyes searched the bookshelves.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He reached out and took down a thick medical book.

Li Hongbing has seen this medical book before, or in the hands of his grandfather. I remember this is the book that my grandfather often read when I was young.

He took the medical book and went back to the desk and sat down. Just as he opened the cover of the medical book, a cowhide envelope appeared in front of him, with the words written on the cover.

[My grandson Hongbing himself]
