Chapter 115: Old Man Hua Agrees to Go to Guancheng
Zhu Mingqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and as they walked, he casually talked about what had just happened at the door.
When Lady Chen spoke of what those people had done, she wished she could drink their blood and eat their flesh.
Thinking about how my husband was carried back, so thin and dazed, he must have been coerced.
Her expression grew even colder.
Zhu Mingqing also understood Lao He's attitude and where Chen Nong's injuries came from.
Because the seeds she developed were powerful, and she was coerced, she must be very vigilant now. If she also invited the other party to go to Guancheng together to continue developing seeds...
Tsk!
Suddenly I'm not so confident anymore.
"Madam, please come this way?" Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking and was still walking forward, Madam Chen hurriedly called out.
Zhu Mingqing came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly turned around to follow.
When passing by the back garden, there are many medicinal herbs and vegetables planted there, but they are somewhat dilapidated.
"I planted these, but unfortunately, they died because of the rain..." Mrs. Chen sighed, seeing Zhu Mingqing staring at that place. "If you like, sister, I have seeds at home and can give you some."
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Madam."
Now it seems that not only Chen Nong is talented, but Mrs. Chen is also talented.
It’s just that the two of them plant in different directions. Oh, I really want to take both of them away.
And there is Dr. Hua.
There is a shortage of supplies in the city. If we can bring these talents over, we won’t have to worry about any shortage.
"Sister Zhu, this is where my husband usually stores his seeds."
Mrs. Chen brought Zhu Mingqing to a small courtyard. It could be seen that this small courtyard should be Chen Nong's experimental field. It was divided into several square pieces, but now it was either left unattended for a long time or was drowned.
She pushed open a room on the left and said, "Sister, take a look at what you need. If it's not much, feel free to take it. If it's more, I have to tell my husband." After all, these are my husband's treasures.
Mrs. Chen felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had saved Old Chen, which was equivalent to saving their entire family.
Nowadays, these things are still very expensive.
The room was not big. There was only a bed and bedding in the innermost part. There were five or six shelves in the outer room. Each shelf had five layers, and each layer contained three palm-sized ceramic jars.
There were various notes stuck on the jars: waterproof No. 1, No. 2, red-skinned wheat, suitable for northern climate, yield of 10 dan per mu...
From performance to planting origin to maturity effect, it is clearly distinguished.
Looking at it piecemeal, this might be the most comprehensive exhibition of small wheat varieties Zhu Mingqing had ever seen in ancient times.
"I want every kind, is that okay?" Zhu Mingqing asked with sparkling eyes.
Mrs. Chen nodded slightly and took out some small ceramic jars from the side.
Zhu Mingqing followed her instructions and took out two or three grains of each kind with tweezers.
Wheat, barley, rice, beans...
A total of more than thirty species were selected.
Enough to repair the Immortal Palace for the second time.
After leaving the room, the Chen family invited Zhu Mingqing to stay for dinner. Zhu Mingqing had other ideas in mind, so he was naturally happy to accept.
She directly handed all the seeds to the little world spirit and asked it to help plant them.
The little world spirit immediately got busy, and soon said, "Qingqing, see you tomorrow."
Zhu Mingqing was delighted: "Okay."
What will the second immortal palace look like?
Just thinking about it makes me full of anticipation.
…
After leaving here, Zhu Mingqing went to Old Man Hua's room and asked him where he was going next.
"Of course, we're going back to the small mountain village." Old Man Hua said as a matter of course.
Zhu Mingqing was stunned: "You still don't know? The small mountain village has been flooded..."
She told about her encounter with Bao Lu and Bao Zhong.
Old man Hua's face changed, obviously he had no idea about this.
"……how so."
Thinking about the relatives and friends I had known for many years, who were nowhere to be found, and even the village chief had passed away, I would never see their faces again, just like Dieyi in the past...
Old man Hua's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhu Mingqing sighed and stepped forward to comfort her: "Are you... okay?"
Seeing that he was crying in front of the younger generation, Old Man Hua quickly picked up his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes.
At his age, he has long seen through life and death, and believes that everyone has their own destiny. Now he can only sigh that things have changed and people have changed.
Now the small mountain village is deserted and he doesn't want to go back.
Could it be possible to return to Butterfly Medical Valley?
Old man Hua refused in his heart. He didn't want to teach those disciples all day long. They were all idiots and there was no one disciple he could trust.
Zhu Mingqing naturally didn't know what he was thinking, but he kept observing his expression.
Seeing him hesitate, she tentatively asked, "Why don't you come with me to Guancheng and look for Baozhong?"
Old Man Hua paused for a moment, looked up at her, and sighed.
“…Let’s talk about it later.”
"No." Seeing that he didn't refuse very much, Zhu Mingqing knew that he didn't have any place he particularly wanted to go at the moment, so he had to keep him!
"Think about it, Baolu and Baozhong are people you know well. As long as you come to Guancheng, you will know them everywhere. Besides, Guancheng is vast and sparsely populated. You are a doctor, so you can buy a piece of land and grow whatever medicinal herbs you want."
Old Man Hua was a shrewd man. He looked her up and down and said, "...you really want me to go to the city gate."
Zhu Mingqing knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he chuckled and praised loudly, "You have unparalleled medical skills and are truly a miracle doctor. Don't worry, if you come with me to Guancheng, I will leave your retirement care to my son. I guarantee that you won't be lonely in your later years!"
Old Man Hua couldn't help but laugh and wiped the tears from his face: "You invited me to go, shouldn't you take care of me in my old age?"
Zhu Mingqing straightened his chest and raised his head, saying as a matter of course, "But I also need to rely on them for my retirement, so let's simplify the process and go straight to the last person, saving time and effort."
Old man Hua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time he had seen a mother causing trouble for her child.
However, it is not easy to invite him over.
Thinking about this girl's cooking skills, I'm really greedy.
"Hey, I don't know what to eat tonight."
Zhu Mingqing understood the elegant meaning of the song and immediately smiled. It was good to have the conditions. It was just that those who had no desires were the most difficult to deal with.
…
Before dinner time, Zhu Mingqing helped Mrs. Chen prepare a table full of delicious dishes.
The ingredients were all available to her and the Chen family, so she would just replace them with those from the Immortal Palace if possible. Considering that she didn't know Old Man Hua's taste, she made twelve kinds of dishes, eight hot dishes and four cold dishes.
It has salty, sweet, sour and spicy flavors.
Pickled fish, fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet pepper and bamboo shoots...
The cooking methods include steaming, boiling and frying. Compared with the previous home-cooked meals, it is much more sumptuous.
The Chen family was shocked.
I didn’t expect that this seemingly frail woman could cook so many different dishes, and the taste was amazing.
By the end of the meal, all the dishes were empty.
The youngest son of the Chen family looked at the remaining soup, took out a piece of steamed bun, dipped it in the soup and started eating.
Hmm...
His eyes lit up. It tasted so good.
Mrs. Chen has always been dignified and self-possessed, but today she couldn't help herself. Her stomach was so full that she just wanted to sit in the chair and not move.
As for Old Man Hua, he made the decision immediately before Zhu Mingqing even opened his mouth to speak.
"Junior sister, please help me pack my luggage. Little Chenzi is fine now. I plan to leave with Zhu Yatou and the others tomorrow."
Mrs. Chen was startled. "So fast?"
