Chapter 135 Secret Artifact - Liupo Chili Noodles
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 frowning. 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 somewhat 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's a girl working as a doctor in the village. I've lived to be eighty years old, and I've never seen a girl who can treat people."
"Grandma, do you see it now?"
Chu Yue smiled and let the other party look at her.
The old lady nodded. "Yes, yes, it's a girl, a beautiful girl. That's great, that's great... Girl, are you married? I have a grandson at home who is 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 came to find a granddaughter-in-law for her grandson.
"Grandma, I'm not only married, I even have a child." Chu Yue rejected the old lady's warm heart, "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, regretting, "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 to herself that it must be because Lu Zhanlin had done good deeds in his previous life that he was able to 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 she could breathe a sigh of relief. Examining these patients required not only medical skills but also the ability to chat, brainpower, and saliva. It was not an easy task.
Song Hongmei hurriedly greeted, "Ayue, thank you for your hard work. Leave the things aside for now 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 cornbread, as well as pickles in the lunch box. It was simple, convenient and satisfying.
Song Hongmei has always lived in poverty and hardship. Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin have been with Song Hongmei for a long time and have gotten used to it.
If the steamed buns are cold, just roast them over a fire. If you choke, 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 food.
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 already past dinner time. If you don't eat now, Xue Zhanlin and I will eat it all."
Xue Zhanlin immediately retorted, "Don't drag me into this. It's obvious that you eat 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 wowo bun. It's inconvenient to bring more. If we're lucky, we can dig up potatoes and sweet potatoes, roast them, and eat them as a snack."
Li Weiguo echoed, "Roasting sweet potatoes with firewood is so 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 most abundant areas with various 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 her cloth backpack and took out the wild vegetables and mushrooms she had dug up during her morning break.
The wild vegetables include crispy, tender and 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. Then she took them out and ate them.
Pea tips are best eaten raw, tender and crispy.
Cut off the roots of wild mushrooms with dirt, then wash them clean, insert a branch, and roast the wild mushrooms over the fire. After a while, the fragrance will be released.
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 artifact - Liupo Chili Powder.
She sprinkled red chili powder on the fragrant wild mushrooms, and the contact between the two produced an even more tempting aroma.
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. Accompanied by the spicy flavor of Liupo's chili powder, she took a bite and felt so happy.
The originally simple lunch burst into rich and colorful flavors after Chu Yue's few moves.
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 too. And these pea tips. You can eat them all. Think of them as a snack. Only when everyone is full can they have the energy 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 putting them in the middle of the steamed buns.
This bite of food——
"tasty!"
“This is delicious!”
"The wild mushrooms are so fragrant, they make my tongue almost fall off!"
Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin started shouting loudly, they were so excited.
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 thing called porcini mushrooms. They're really delicious. I usually stir-fry them at home, but I never thought they could 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 should try some too."
Song Hongmei took a bite with half belief and half doubt, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Just a small change, a little more seasoning, and the taste of the whole steamed bun will be different.
It was as if Chu Yue’s appearance brought unparalleled power to their small team.
