Chapter 197: Another Disciple

Xie Yanyan originally had no plans to accept disciples, she was not a doctor.

It’s just that in the 22nd century, ordinary people understand the treatments for many common diseases and conventional medications.

It's not a common disease, she has a cheating little beauty, that's all.

But after Doctor Chen discussed it with Mrs. Chen, Doctor Chen knelt down very sincerely and asked her to be his master. Doctor Chen's words moved her.

"We can see that Miss Xie has no practical experience in medicine, but Miss Xie knows a lot of medical skills that we two don't understand. Since Miss Xie has no intention of becoming a doctor, why don't you become our master and teach us your skills so that we can save more people?"

"We promise that once we learn the skills from our master, we will never pass them on to others. Without our master's consent, our sons and grandsons will not inherit any of our master's medical skills."

"If the master wants to save people, we can come forward on his behalf. For example, in the case of these two people, the master didn't want them to know who saved them, so my husband and I said that a stranger sent them to our place."

Xie Yanyan was somewhat moved.

The ancients valued their promises. If Doctor Chen and his wife became her apprentices, she would be their elders, and they would not dare to disobey them for the rest of their lives.

Seeing their piety, she only said: "Tell me about your past."

Doctor Chen hesitated for a moment, but he was really determined to become the disciple.

"Master, I am Chen Xiu, a disciple of yours truly. My ancestral home is in Chang'an. My ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations. Since the Han Dynasty, my ancestors have served as imperial physicians in the palace. However, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, when dynasties changed, I accidentally got involved in a palace fight and my entire clan was exterminated."

His great-grandfather was able to survive because his wet nurse exchanged her own son for him, and that was how the family of imperial physicians retained some roots.

Afterwards he drifted to Yongcheng.

"Perhaps it was because of his deep love for medicine that my great-grandfather eventually became a doctor." Chen Xiu sighed, "By the time of my grandfather and father, the Chen family's medical skills had gradually become somewhat famous. My great-grandfather left a family motto that no one in the family should enter the palace."

These are Chen Xiu's secrets and his attitude of surrender.

Xie Yanyan nodded: "I just happened to know some medical prescriptions. If you are willing to be my apprentice, I will accept it."

Chen Xiu was overjoyed. He and his wife burned incense and kowtowed to each other, acknowledging the master.

Xie Yanyan:

I am young and know nothing about medicine, but I am the master of three famous doctors! !

Since you are my disciple, there is no need to be polite.

Hand over Prince Zhou and Zhou Jin to Chen Xiu.

Prince Zhou woke up that afternoon, and Zhou Jin woke up at about the same time. Both of them had limited vision due to their severe injuries.

When I woke up, I saw a strange room, I was tied up, and there was a strong smell of medicine. It was obvious that I had been treated.

As far as the eye can see, I see Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin called out vaguely, "Master?"

Zhou Shaoyu's throat was damaged and he couldn't speak clearly, he just snorted.

Doctor Chen came over, touched their foreheads, and took their pulses. The medicine used by the master was good, and the patients did not have a fever.

As long as the patient does not have a fever, he will recover very quickly.

Zhou Shaoyu cleared his throat several times before asking, "Who are you?"

Doctor Chen said, "I am a doctor. Someone sent you to me for treatment."

"who?"

"I don't know him." Doctor Chen said, "You are seriously injured. I have already set your bones and treated your wounds. As long as you don't have a fever, you will recover quickly."

This means he is unwilling to say it, or he really doesn't know.

"I can move now. Thank you again..."

"No, the person who sent you here gave you money."

Doctor Chen looked at their wounds and the master said that as long as there was no bleeding, they only needed to change the medicine once a day.

Asking them to rest, Doctor Chen went out and saw Xie Yanyan, and said, "Master, they are all awake and have no fever."

"Then feed them the fish porridge first."

Xu Wenrong came to pick her up in the afternoon. Xie Yanyan said to Xu Wenrong, "You go to the inn to rest first. Book a room for me. Doctor Chen and I have something to do. You wait for me at the inn."

Xu Wenrong warned: "Don't take on anything alone."

"good."

Xie Yanyan responded and went back to Doctor Chen's house.

She did not show up in front of Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Jin. They were awake but unable to walk, so she didn't have to worry about meeting them suddenly.

I cooked a pot of pigeon soup in the kitchen.

Pigeon soup promotes wound healing.

Doctor Chen and Madam Chen both understood, but they would rather watch how the master did it.

In their opinion, what the master prepared was actually medicinal food.

When Xie Yanyan came back from outside, she had already prepared all the ingredients for pigeon soup.

Pigeon, cordyceps flower, red dates, lily, longan, wolfberry, ginger.

Mrs. Chen looked at the ingredients and habitually picked one up to smell and taste it, but she didn't know what Cordyceps flower was.

"Cordyceps flower, also known as Cordyceps militaris, Cordyceps sinensis." Xie Yanyan got some basic knowledge from Xiaomei and explained it to her.

Mrs. Chen’s eyes widened immediately. This is a Chinese medicinal herb!

While admiring them, he processed the pigeons, cutting each one into four pieces, 8 pieces for two pigeons, washing them and blanching them.

Put pigeon pieces, washed cordyceps flowers, longan meat, ginger slices in a casserole, add water and boil.

After 25 minutes, skim off the floating oil, add lilies and pitted red dates, and continue to simmer for 25 minutes.

Add wolfberry and salt to season.

Soup is complete.

While making the soup, she cut out a piece of leg meat and chopped up the sauce.

I took a handful of sugar sprouts, which were shredded mustard leaves and pickled golden sprouts with brown sugar, and cut them into small pieces.

Put oil in the pot, add a star anise, stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the臊子, stir-fry until dry and fragrant, add a little soy sauce, stir-fry evenly, add the chopped sugar sprouts, stir-fry until dry and evenly, and set aside.

Cook noodles.

She made a lot of臊子 and cooked a lot of noodles, cooking noodles for herself, Doctor Chen, and Madam Chen.

Five bowls for seasoning: 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame paste, 1 tablespoon of pepper powder, half a tablespoon of soup stock, 1 tablespoon of lard, and 1 tablespoon of chili oil.

When adding oil and chili peppers, she only added a little bit of seasoning to Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Jin's bowls, and added two tablespoons to her own bowl and the two bowls of the old Chen couple.

Put the noodles into a bowl, add some blanched vegetables, a few spoons of fried meat sauce, two tablespoons of crushed peanuts, and some chopped green onions.

The delicious Yanyan brand Dandan noodles are ready!

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Master, I'm really drooling! Old Chen and I have eaten delicious food before, but the noodles made by Master are really mouth-watering."

Xie Yanyan tilted his head slightly and said to Madam Chen, "If either of them asks you who made the noodles, just say you can make them yourself."

Madam Chen stopped drooling and nodded seriously: "Master, don't worry."

Two bowls of noodles were sent to Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Jin. Both of them were seriously injured, but they were very strong and could slowly eat liquid food.

Doctor Chen put a blanket under the two men's heads and slowly fed them a bowl of noodles, a bowl of pigeon soup, and some pigeon meat.

Both of them were sweating profusely.

Zhou Shaoyu had already seen Mrs. Chen clearly, but he didn't ask anything.

Zhou Jin, on the other hand, asked weakly while eating: "Doctor, who cooked this meal?"

Mrs. Chen said nonchalantly, "What I did, my elders knew how to do, and I learned from them."

Master, is also an elder, that’s right.
