Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 104 November, follow-up
Because of Zhang Ting's incident before, Yuan Shi had other thoughts, not for anything else, just saying that there are a lot of ingredients left in the daily cooking pot, although Chunqiu and the others will work hard to eat them every day It's over, but some still have to be thrown away.

Now that there is Luanzhu made by Chunqiu, the taste is not bad, but you can eat it, and the bones you buy are not expensive, so it will be good to sell them directly at that time.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shi directly planned to use the bone broth left over from yesterday to make some less the next day. Yuan Shi, with the mentality of giving it a try, recommended the Luanzhu (malatang) made by Chunqiu to come to the shop for dinner Unexpectedly, they also received a lot of praise, especially the quick cooking of Malatang, and the taste is not much worse than that of the pot. Conquer, and Malatang is not as expensive as hot pot. At the end of the day, the bone broth left over from yesterday is used up.

That night, Yuan Shi went to the pork shop at the entrance of the alley to buy 5 catties of big bones and came back. After returning, Yuan Shi directly washed the newly bought bones, and then put them in a pot to cook slowly.

After dinner, Yuan Shi asked Chunqiu to bring over the clothes she had accidentally scratched before, and was going to sew them for her in her free time.

Chunqiu brought over her clothes with a big cut in the arm. It was accidentally scratched when she and Zhou Huaiyan went to Yaonong to collect the medicine. After returning that night, Chunqiu changed the clothes .

Since they visited their old friends with Grandpa Zhou a few days ago, they have been running around with Grandpa Zhou every day for the past few days. Although the mountain road is not easy to walk, Chunqiu has learned much more than before. For practical sake.

When Chunqiu came in, Mrs. Yuan was sitting by the window with the light of an oil lamp sewing the jacket that Yang Weibo had taken off earlier. When she heard the sound of the door closing, Mrs. Yuan bit the white thread with her teeth, raised her head and asked with a smile "Did you get the clothes?"

"Hmm..." Chunqiu held the clothes in one hand, and then closed the door behind his back.

"Come here quickly, it's windy outside, you need to wear more clothes when you go to the school tomorrow" Through the light, Yuan Shi noticed the thin autumn shirt on Chunqiu's body, and frowned angrily, "You Why are you still wearing this? Is it cold? What about the clothes I made for you before?"

Chunqiu stuck out her tongue secretly, then ran to Yuan Shi with a smile on her face, put the clothes in her hands aside, and then acted like a baby to Yuan Shi with free hands, "Mother, Qiu'er is not cold, besides, I will be going back to the house in a while, and I will definitely wear thick clothes tomorrow."

"Really? You little heartless, what should I do if I see you feeling uncomfortable for a while?" Yuan Shi gouged out a look at Chunqiu, then patted Chunqiu's hand on her arm, and raised her head to signal Chunqiu to sit on the bed and stay there .

Chunqiu glanced at the bed that had been made behind him, shook his head and refused, "No need, mother, I'll go back to the house now." Chunqiu was a little tired, and today he and Grandpa Zhou climbed the mountain all afternoon, compared to the previous two days. It's going to be a lot more tiring.

Seeing her daughter's movements of rubbing her eyes from time to time, Yuan felt a little distressed, "Then do you want to go during the day tomorrow, or you can rest at home all morning, anyway, you have to send cotton clothes to your second brother and the others in the afternoon "

"That's not okay." Chunqiu shook his head vigorously after hearing this, "Mom, if I don't go tomorrow afternoon, I'm already delaying my studies. If I don't go in the morning, then do I have to study medicine with Grandpa Zhou? Studying with the second brother, you can't delay the class." Now she has learned a lot of knowledge that is not in the textbooks. In time, she will definitely be able to become a teacher. Although this vision is still far away, now she can also see some minor problems of wind and cold , can be regarded as great progress.

"Mother, don't you feel sorry for you?" Seeing that her kindness was directly rejected by her daughter, Yuan's tone suddenly complained.

"Mother, I know, that's why Qiu'er has to work harder." Chunqiu stretched out his arms and put his arms around Yuan Shi's neck, and then pressed his little face tightly against Yuan Shi's face, and his body followed his own frequency. swing left and right.

Yuan Shi was so coaxed by Chunqiu, the anger in her heart disappeared immediately, "Okay, okay, I can frame my mother." Yuan Shi patted Chunqiu's small shoulder, although her mouth was still a little stiff, but the smile on her face Yiwuyi disappeared her mood at this time, after Chunqiu saw that her mother had recovered, he relaxed and drove the car with Yuan Shi with a smile, then opened the door and ran out.

The next day after breakfast, Chunqiu went out again early in the morning. Although she told Grandpa Zhou about this afternoon, she was still free in the morning, so Chunqiu went to the Herbal Hall to report early in the morning.

Coincidentally, Grandpa Zhou was in the shop giving a consultation to a child. When he saw Chunqiu coming in, Dr. Zhou called Chunqiu over, "Girl Qiuer, go and get the prescription, go to the medicine table and grab the medicine."

Chunqiu didn't ask why Brother Dabao and Brother Huaiyan were not there, and respectfully took the prescription handed over by Doctor Zhou, then turned around and came to the front of the stage.

In front of the counter where Chunqiu was, there was a medicine cabinet full of small boxes. Although some herbs were placed high, there was still a small bench underneath. Chunqiu looked at the prescription in his hand, and it looked like wild chrysanthemums, forsythias, and green leaves. It is the medicinal effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It seems that the young master must have some cold (cold), but most of them are warming and tonic medicinal materials, so it should not be serious.

Chunqiu put the prescription on the counter, then stood on the bench, holding a small scale in his hand, measured the herbs in the box little by little, and when they were all packed, he handed it to Doctor Zhou together with the prescription.

Dr. Zhou directly handed the prescription and the herbal medicine to the woman opposite, and then carefully instructed, "Now that late autumn is approaching, the young master is greedy for cold for a while, which caused the wind and cold in his body, but it is not a hindrance. Madam, take the medicine and go back early." Decoct it three times in the middle of the night, and it won’t take long for the young master to recover.”

The woman thanked her again and again, but at the same time she was afraid that she would forget, so she asked Dr. Zhou to write down the steps and time of decocting the medicine. Dr. Zhou did not refuse, picked up a brush beside him and wrote another paragraph on the white paper. send away.

After the woman left, Chunqiu asked about Dabao's whereabouts, "Grandpa Zhou, where are Brother Huaiyan and Brother Dabao? Why aren't they in the shop?"

"Oh? You mean the two of them?" Dr. Zhou stroked his gray beard and sat down on a stool beside him. "The medicines for clearing away heat and detoxification are almost gone in the shop. The weather has been changing all the time these days. There are quite a few people with wind and cold in their bodies, fearing that the herbal medicine in the shop is not enough, so the old man asked them to go to Mr. Zhuang to get some and bring them back for emergency.”

After listening to Dr. Zhou's explanation, Chunqiu nodded, expressing that he understood. No wonder there was not much in the box when she took the medicine before. It turned out that there were too many people suffering from cold recently. Thinking of this, Chunqiu asked, "Grandpa Zhou." , Now that the weather is getting colder, if you want to prevent the wind and cold, can you drink some warm herbs?" Chunqiu thought of the Banlangen that he drank in his previous life, it should be preventable.

When Zhou Wei heard Chunqiu's words, he paused his hand to straighten his pen and ink, then looked up at Chunqiu, and said seriously, "You don't need to drink medicine, Qiu'er girl, you must know that medicine is three-point poisonous, even if it is a warm herb, it is not without it. The downside is that if you want to prevent it, you can drink more ginger soup to drive away the cold, that kind of herbal medicine should not be drunk indiscriminately." Zhou Weisheng was afraid that Chunqiu would not understand, so he gave two bad examples on purpose, in order Can express clearly in front of Chunqiu, let her understand what he said.

Chunqiu is not a real child, naturally he understands what Dr. Zhou said, and looking at Dr. Zhou's worried face, Chunqiu comforts him, "Grandpa Zhou, don't worry, Qiu'er is just asking, and won't try it lightly." "

"Well, that's good." Zhou Wei nodded, and then said, "Girl Qiu'er, you go to the backyard and bring in all the dried herbs and put them in the box. Grandpa Zhou still has two prescriptions left unwritten." Finished, Qiu'er girl will grab these medicines after finishing writing, and wait for Dabao to come back to deliver the medicines."

"Hey, I got it." Chunqiu replied crisply, then turned around and went to the backyard to bring in the dried herbs. The boxes where the medicines were placed all had the names of these herbs, although most of them were in traditional Chinese characters. But Chunqiu had learned from Yang Chunming before, and he could clearly identify it carefully. The herbs in the box were already empty, and most of them were herbs for clearing away heat and dispelling cold. Chunqiu put the herbs in his arms carefully. In the box, every time it is half full, it will not be put again. The herbal medicine will get damp after a long time, and the medicinal properties will decrease after getting damp, so they will fill it half full every time. time to play.

After loading the herbs, Dr. Zhou’s prescriptions will be written and placed on the medicine table. After writing, Dr. Zhou will go back to the backyard and continue to take care of the medicinal materials. After all, the herbal hall receives medicines from the herb farmers every day, and some medicines have the habit of them. They don't quite understand yet, and at the same time, Dr. Zhou is not at ease even giving them. Except for some simple herbs, most of them are taken care of by Dr. Zhou himself, so the time is naturally tight.

Chunqiu also sympathized with Dr. Zhou's painstaking efforts, looked at the prescription on the medicine table, and after remembering the name of the medicine, he picked up the kraft paper on the side and folded it into a triangle, opened the box and started to take the medicine.

After grabbing all the medicines, Chunqiu took out the straw ropes and tied them up again. After finishing the work, he put the prescriptions in, and put them directly under the counter when he was done, waiting for Brother Dabao to come back and give them to him.

This prescription is sent out together with the herbal medicine. If the patient's condition improves after taking this herbal medicine, it will be convenient for the next time to come to pick up the medicine. If the patient does not improve after taking this herbal medicine, it will be convenient for other doctors to prescribe the medicine according to the prescription.

Time moved forward, Chunqiu was busy with the work at hand, and ran to the backyard to help Dr. Zhou for a while. Before he was busy for a long time, Chunqiu heard the noise coming from the front yard. Chunqiu looked at it and was still tidying up Doctor Zhou, who was in charge of the medicinal materials, put down the winnow in his hand and ran out. It should be Brother Dabao and the others who came back.

Sure enough, before Chunqiu took two steps, he saw two people coming in from the door. Chunqiu was taken aback for a moment, and then happily shouted, "Brother Dabao, Brother Huaiyan, you are back." After Chunqiu shouted, he waved back vigorously , for fear that the two of them would not see her.

Facing Chunqiu's enthusiastic call, Dabao and Zhou Huaiyan didn't answer. Looking at Dabao who still had some grief and anger on his face, Chunqiu directly retracted his hands, and then turned sideways to make way for the two.

Dabao didn't have Chunqiu to rest at all, he went directly to Doctor Zhou, Zhou Huaiyan nodded when he walked to Qiu'er, and whispered the reason for Dabao's agitation, although his face was also a little ugly, But there is still a lot of etiquette that should be there. After Chunqiu heard this, he waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he was fine. Zhou Huaiyan was relieved when he saw that the other party was really not angry.

"Brother Huaiyan? Did the shop receive the fake medicinal materials you mentioned?" Chunqiu asked cautiously.

"I have also received it." Zhou Huaiyan nodded, and said softly, "That family also sells herbs for a living, just like Mr. Zhuang. They live under Mr. Zhuang's house. This time, Brother Dabao and I went to get medicine from Mr. Zhuang. I happened to meet this family, and thought it would be good to collect them together, so I followed the past to have a look, but I didn't expect that the other party would dare to do this this time. Before, because of the relationship between Grandpa Zhou who collected medicines all the year round, the shop was also closed. They care about so much, and they promise not to do it again next time, who knows that they will repeat the same plan today, maybe seeing that we are young, they are still thinking about opportunism," Zhou Huaiyan patiently explained to Chunqiu.

"Brother Dabao...?" Chunqiu asked back, wasn't this discovered by them?Why is Brother Dabao still angry?

After Zhou Huaiyan listened, he glanced at Dabao, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Brother Dabao didn't find out about this at the beginning. I told him, probably because he didn't recognize it, so he was unhappy."

That's no wonder, Chunqiu thought to himself, Brother Dabao has followed Doctor Zhou since he was seven years old, and now he looks like he has been with Doctor Zhou for six or seven years, but he has not seen through other people's deception after following for so long. Thanks to Zhou Huaiyan's words, I took a step back and thought, if Zhou Huaiyan is not here this time and he goes alone, then those fake medicines will be taken back by him. What if Doctor Zhou used the fake medicines collected directly?At that time, what will be lost will not be a little money, but the reputation of this herbal hall for decades!Although Chunqiu's assumption is somewhat exaggerated, what if it really happened like this?No one can guarantee it, no wonder Brother Dabao's face is ugly, I guess Brother Dabao is more ashamed in his heart!

When Chunqiu and Chunqiu were muttering about the same thing not far away, Dabao and Dr. Zhou also finished talking, Chunqiu noticed Brother Dabao's movement of wiping tears secretly, thinking that her brother Dabao might not be able to slow down for a while .

"Qiu'er girl, Yan'er, you two come here." Zhou Wei stretched out his hand and called the two of them over, "Although there were some twists and turns in collecting the medicine this time, didn't Mr. Zhuang bring all the herbs here? Go and sort out those herbs. Okay, Dabao and I will go to the previous family to have a look again, no matter what, those fake medicines that are shoddy and dyed cannot be sold, if it endangers people’s lives, it will be a big deal.”

"Qiuer (disciple) knows"*2
"Well, Dabao, let's lead the old man over there to have a look. You two, you must discuss with each other about anything in the shop, and you must not make up your own mind." Zhou Wei instructed the two of them again, and then asked Dabao to lead the way. The two left again.
