After that, it was another long time.
The number of patients on Chu Yue's side was gradually coming to an end. Song Hongmei, Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin also came back from the fields. The three of them were all covered in mud, their clothes and pants were dirty, and their brows were frowned. It seemed that the results of this field investigation were not ideal.
It is early spring now. If the sowing conditions in early spring are not good, the whole year will become difficult.
So the three of them looked solemn, talking as they walked. After they came to Chu Yue, they did not interrupt Chu Yue's work. Each of them found a stool and sat down, discussing and taking notes.
There was only one patient left on Chu Yue's side, an old lady in her eighties with gray hair.
The old lady has a hunched body and a crooked back, but she is energetic, has sharp eyes and ears, and looks very healthy. She doesn't look like an eighty-year-old at all.
She came this time not to see a doctor, but to stare at Chu Yue with interest and said happily.
"I heard from the old guys that there is a girl working as a doctor in the village. I have lived for eighty years and I have never seen a girl who can treat patients."
"Grandma, do you see it now?"
Chu Yue smiled and let the other person look at her.
The old lady nodded, "Yes, yes, it's really a girl, a beautiful girl. That's great, that's great... Girl, are you married? Grandma has a grandson at home, he's tall and big, he can do the work in the fields by himself, you two are a perfect match."
Wow - this is the old grandmother who is looking for a granddaughter-in-law for her grandson.
"Grandma, not only am I married, I also have a child." Chu Yue rejected the old lady's warm-heartedness, "Since you are here, why don't I take your pulse? Give me your hand--"
The old lady asked Chu Yue to feel her pulse. She stared at Chu Yue and shook her head, "My grandson is unlucky. He can't marry a girl as good as you. The man who can marry you must have done good deeds in his previous life, so he has such a blessing in this life."
Chu Yue thought, it must be because Lu Zhanlin had done good deeds in his previous life that he could meet her in this life.
A few minutes later, the old lady, who was diagnosed by Chu Yue as having no illness or pain, and was in very good health, and could do whatever she wanted and eat whatever she wanted, walked away slowly with small steps.
Chu Yue was busy for several hours and finally could breathe a sigh of relief. Examining these patients required not only medical skills, but also the ability to chat, the brain, and a lot of talk. It was not an easy task.
Song Hongmei hurriedly greeted, "Ayue, you've worked hard. Leave the things alone and come over to eat."
"Okay, Sister Song."
The so-called meal was the dry food brought by Song Hongmei, which was nothing more than steamed buns and corn bread, as well as pickles in the lunch box. It was simple, convenient and filling.
Song Hongmei has always lived in poverty and hardship. Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin have been with her for a long time and have gotten used to it.
If the steamed buns are cold, just warm them over a fire. If you choke on them, just drink some water. You will be able to swallow them anyway. As long as you can fill your stomach, anything is fine.
Chu Yue was stunned when she saw their simple meals.
Li Weiguo thought Chu Yue was embarrassed, so he stuffed a steamed bun into her hand and said, "Comrade Chu, hurry up and eat. It's past dinner time. If you don't eat, Xue Zhanlin and I will eat it all."
Xue Zhanlin immediately retorted, "Don't drag me into this, it's obviously you who eats the most."
Li Weiguo had a silly look on his square face. He smiled awkwardly and did not refute.
Chu Yue asked beside Hong Mei, "Do you always eat these things?"
Xue Zhanlin said first, "Yes, that's all we have. Each person is given two steamed buns and one wo wo bun. It's inconvenient to bring more. If we're lucky, we can dig up potatoes and sweet potatoes, which we can roast and eat as a snack."
Li Weiguo echoed, "Roasting sweet potatoes with firewood is very fragrant and delicious."
Chu Yue frowned as she looked at the two people. They knew how to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes to eat, but why didn’t they know how to find something else to eat?
The southwestern forests are the areas with the richest resources, with all kinds of treasures in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Yet they eat steamed buns every day. How come they don’t know how to improve their food?
Chu Yue stood up and said, "Wait for me."
She rummaged through the cloth backpack she was carrying and took out the wild vegetables and mushrooms she had dug up while taking a break during her morning journey.
The wild vegetables include crispy, tender and emerald green pea tips. She washed the pea tips and put them in an enamel cup, then poured hot water on them and blanched them for a minute before taking them out and eating them.
Pea tips are best eaten raw, tender and crispy.
Cut off the roots of the wild mushrooms with dirt, then wash them, insert a branch, and roast the wild mushrooms over the fire. After a while, the fragrance will come out.
The juice gurgles out of the wild mushrooms, and after being roasted for a while, they shrink slightly and become crispy, becoming more and more fragrant.
At this moment, Chu Yue touched her pocket and took out a secret weapon - Liupo Chili Noodles.
She sprinkled red chili powder on the fragrant wild mushrooms, and the two emitted an even more tempting aroma when they came into contact.
Song Hongmei looked at Chu Yue's series of actions with surprise in her eyes.
Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin were holding the steamed buns in their hands, but suddenly they felt that they were not fragrant anymore, so they stopped eating the buns and just watched Chu Yue busy herself.
Chu Yue broke the white flour bun apart and put some roasted wild mushrooms in the middle. Along with the spicy flavor of Liu Po's chili powder, she took a bite and felt so happy.
The originally simple lunch, after Chu Yue's few moves, burst into rich and colorful flavors.
So fragrant and delicious!
Chu Yue handed the other wild mushrooms to Song Hongmei and the other two. "I still have some wild mushrooms. You can try them. There are also these pea tips. You can eat them all. You can treat them as a snack. Only when everyone is full can they have the strength to work."
Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin swallowed hard, "Comrade Chu, we won't be polite then."
They imitated Chu Yue's actions just now, roasting wild mushrooms, sprinkling Liupo chili powder on them, and then stuffing them between the steamed buns.
This bite of food -
"tasty!"
"This is delicious!"
"The wild mushrooms are so fragrant, they make my tongue fall off!"
Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin both shouted loudly in excitement.
Chu Yue said, "It's just the beginning of spring, so there aren't many wild mushrooms. In a month, the mountains will be full of wild mushrooms. Then we can find porcini mushrooms and eat them like meat.
"Yes, I've eaten this mushroom called porcini, it's really delicious. I usually cook it at home, but I didn't expect it can be grilled."
"Comrade Chu is still the smartest!"
Chu Yue also roasted some wild mushrooms, sprinkled some dry ingredients on them, and handed them to Song Hongmei, "Sister Song, you can try some too."
Song Hongmei took a bite with doubt, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Just a small change, a little more seasoning, and the taste of the whole steamed bun becomes different.
It was as if Chu Yue’s appearance brought unparalleled power to their small team.
