Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 191

Let's talk about Yang's food shop on the other side.

Chunqiu and Yang Chunming each came back with a stack of books and went back to the house. Unlike Yang Chunming who moved all the books into the study, Chunqiu put all the books he bought into his room and opened the room. Chunqiu carefully put the books he brought back into the cabinet.

At this time, the family's dinner was ready. Due to the strong request of the Spring and Autumn Period, their family ate beef stew today.

Beef can be said to be a luxury ornament in ancient times. As for the reason, it was because of the shortage of ancient farming tools. In ancient times, there were many mountains and heavy farming. The cattle used as the main farming tools were very important. The number of yellow cattle was not enough. There are many, and the status can be imagined. The reason why the government has stipulated that the sale of cattle is legal in recent years. According to the law of the Tianyu Dynasty, the cattle used for farming are not allowed to kill. If so, you will be sentenced by the government.

However, the family who came to sell the cattle today is because of a problem with the cattle in the family, because the cattle got stuck in the deep ditch accidentally when they were farming, and when the cattle were rescued, the legs of the cattle had been broken. The yellow cattle without the ability to cultivate are useless. This family had no choice but to kill and eat meat after reporting it to the government.

Chunqiu has wanted to eat beef stew for a long time, just like the modern beef stew with potatoes and beef brisket with tomatoes, but the ancient laws were strict, and Chunqiu has never realized it.

Now hearing that someone was selling beef at the market early in the morning, Chunqiu directly begged her mother to buy it for her. Yuan Shi also loves her children, so she rushed to the market at the gate early in the morning, and then queued up. After half a day's teamwork, they only bought three catties of pure beef and came back. Yuan's heart was full of plans, and he had already divided the three catties of beef in his hand for use, and was going to stew them at night for the children to nourish their bodies.

Tonight I ate stewed beef. There were some green vegetables and vermicelli in it. The vermicelli was brought from home. It tasted very chewy. The beef was stewed in the pot and it was easy to chew. Chunqiu and the others ate happily, and after eating, they stroked their chubby bellies, and Chunqiu wandered around the tea tree that had grown pleasingly at home.

After taking a walk, Chunqiu picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus in the pot and went to the kitchen. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Chunqiu can only be regarded as dessert after dinner. After taking out all the things he needed, Chunqiu began to knead the dough, pour the mold, and finally use vegetable oil cheese .

The production method of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is similar to that of moon cakes made during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is not as big as moon cakes. Chunqiu cuts the finished sweet-scented osmanthus cakes into small squares before putting them on a white porcelain plate, and then serving them out.

The osmanthus cake is wrapped with osmanthus petals, and the fragrance of the petals also exists in the osmanthus cake. It tastes much better than nothing added. Chunqiu brought back the finished osmanthus cake and distributed it to her family. After eating a lot, in the end it was Yuan who was worried that Chunqiu's stomach would swell, so she directly stopped Chunqiu to stop.

The sun rises as usual, and it's a new day.

Chunqiu still followed the previous chronological order, helping to take care of the shop after getting up in the morning, and only after finishing the work in the shop, Chunqiu was free to tell her mother that she was going to the pharmacy.

Yuan Shi didn't ask any more questions, but waved her hand, telling Chunqiu to be more careful.

Chunqiu nodded, turned and went out the door.

Although he came to Linfang for a long time, Chunqiu still didn't know where the medicine hall was. After asking several passers-by, Chunqiu found the place he was going to.

"Herbal Hall"

Chunqiu read aloud softly, three large characters were hung above the shop, and Chunqiu stood at the door, feeling as if he had passed away.

She stood at the door in a daze for a long time, and finally came to her senses after being bumped accidentally, that's right, she was going to buy herbs.

"This little lady, do you want to seek medical treatment or medicine? If you seek medical treatment, Doctor Zhou and other doctors are busy, please wait aside."

As soon as Chunqiu entered the shop, he was frightened by the medicine boy who suddenly came up to him and took two steps back.

The drug boy then asked, "Little lady, are you all right?"

"It's okay." Chunqiu shook his head, "I want to buy... please
"Doctor" Chunqiu turned his eyes, and saw Zhou Huaiyan who was treating people beside him, and suddenly turned a corner when he reached the point of his mouth.

"Okay, please come here, lady." Yaotong led Chunqiu aside, and then went to the door to receive the guests next to him.

Chunqiu stood in the middle of the line with a smile on his face, and couldn't help looking around with his eyes curiously. Not only the appearance, but also the inside and outside, looked much bigger than those in Heishan Town, especially the person who took the pulse, Chunqiu probably could think of him That surprised expression, as if he got something fun, Chunqiu is like a kitten who has stolen something, laughing non-stop.

How could Chunqiu not be as simple as her senior brother for two years? Compared with two years ago, Zhou Huaiyan is more mature?Hmm, something seems wrong...

But it's getting better and better, it's true!

"...Please stretch out your wrist and put it here." Zhou Huaiyan didn't look up after seeing a patient, and spoke in a gentle voice to the next patient who sat down.

What stretched out was a pair of delicate little hands, Zhou Huaiyan was stunned for a moment, then followed his hand, raised his head to look, his eyebrows were raised when he stared, his eyes were wide open, Chunqiu looked at Zhou Huaiyan with a smile, and said, "Long time no see, senior brother"

Because of Dr. Zhou, Chunqiu called Zhou Huaiyan from brother Huaiyan to senior brother. Although Dr. Zhou did not really accept Chunqiu as his apprentice, in Chunqiu's heart, he had long regarded Dr. Zhou as a master, and because Zhou Huaiyan was Disciples of Dr. Zhou, the two can be regarded as brothers and sisters of the same school.

When Zhou Huaiyan saw Chunqiu, he was only surprised for a moment, and then quickly adjusted the expression on his face, returning to the previous calm and breezy attitude.

Chunqiu came here to grab some herbs to prepare things. He is naturally healthy, but sitting on the diagnosis and treatment table, Chunqiu couldn't just leave.

Zhou Huaiyan looked at the little girl in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips. Compared with two years ago, the little girl not only grew a lot taller, but also lost a lot of her cheeks and baby fat. She looked even cuter than before. many.

The two knew it well, Zhou Huaiyan still stretched out his hand and felt Chunqiu's pulse, the pulse was steady and strong, and there seemed to be nothing serious about it.

"Ahem,... just grab the medicine according to the prescription." Zhou Huaiyan put down his hand, then picked up the writing brush on the side, wrote a few strokes on the white paper, folded it and handed it to Chunqiu who was opposite with a smile.

Different from the gentle and slightly alienated feeling before, Zhou Huaiyan seemed to open his heart to Chunqiu, warmth without distance.

Chunqiu turned his big eyes around, then blinked, stretched out his small hand, took the folded white paper into his hand, and greeted Zhou Huaiyan carefully, then got up and made way for the next patient who waited behind him for a while.

Chunqiu came late, and there were not many patients who came for consultation. After Chunqiu got up, he looked back deliberately, and there were only a few left.

Rejecting the introduction from the medicine boy beside him, Chunqiu walked to the unused table, opened the white paper in his hand, glanced at the word "wait for me" written by Zhou Huaiyan, Chunqiu raised his eyebrows silently, if he didn't know , Do you think it is a confidential document?

Coming to a strange place and meeting acquaintances, Chunqiu smiled unconsciously, looking very happy, turned around and waited patiently on the stool beside him.
