Chapter 231

Pang Mincai thought for a moment, straightened his wide sleeves nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "My surname is Pang. I live in Xishuinan. Brother Xu, just call me Mincai."

When Xu Yi heard his surname Pang, he smiled slightly. Surprised: "Are you a big man?"

The man in front of me is too young, and it is different from the big man mentioned by the boatman.

Unexpectedly, when Pang Min heard his question, he laughed unabashedly, waved his hands and said, "No, no, Doctor Pang is my father, and I am known as Doctor Pang."

Xu Yi: "..."

Pang Mincai He smiled narrowly, stared at Xu Yi intently and asked, "Brother Xu is not from Qishui, is he? If not, how could he not know about my Pang family?"

"It is true that I am not from Qishui. I came from Sichuan and traveled around. Here, I heard that Pang's Medical Clinic is famous for its medical skills, so I wanted to pay him a visit." Xu Yi said calmly and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet Dr. Pang by such a coincidence."

After hearing this, Pang Min felt deeply. Surprised, he didn't expect such a coincidence. He held up his sleeves and shouted: "Are you here to see my father? Are you a doctor?"

Xu Yi nodded.

He said: "Dr. Fang, who is on the next trip, really wants to see your father."

Pang Mincai said: "My father is now very old. Apart from attending consultations in the hospital, he has not received friends from outside for a long time and rarely talks with other doctors. That's right."

Although the Pang family's medical skills are passed down from family, in fact, the medical skills are not very good, but they are famous for saving lives and helping the poor in Qishui.

"If you want to discuss things with my father, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

After Pang Min said this, Madam Qi at the other end brought the wooden tray and placed two bowls of salty dumplings in front of them.

Madam Qi smiled and said, "Let's put aside this irreconcilable discussion for now. Let's eat this bowl of salty dumplings first to warm up our body."

"I like the salty dumplings made by Madam Qi. Other stalls are not as good as your craftsmanship." After praising him, Pang Min glanced at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi smiled lightly and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Qi."

He was also a little hungry now. The salty meatball soup noodles were filled with green onions, and the fragrance of onions and sesame oil blended into one. When you bite into it, the outside is made of glutinous glutinous rice, and the inside is stuffed with salty sesame seeds. The sesame seeds are fragrant, fragrant but not greasy.

There are eight numbers in the bowl, which are the same size as lychees, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish them all.

After Xu Yi finished eating, his limbs were warm from the rain.

He touched Xiao Huang lying at his feet, took out the cloth bag containing dried meat from his pouch, and fed Xiao Huang some meat.

Pang Mincai saw it from the corner of his eye and asked in a low voice: "How did this dog grow so big?"

He had been afraid of dogs since he was a child, and he had never seen such a big yellow dog in Qishui.

Xu Yi said confidently: "It is a field dog. It eats meat every day. It will naturally become strong when it grows up."

Field dogs are hunting dogs and are good helpers when hunting. Pang Mincai was shocked after hearing this and couldn't help looking at Xu Yi and looking at him. With his elegant attire, I really couldn't imagine that he knew how to hunt.

But then I thought about it, they are both doctors and occasionally go to the mountains to collect medicine.

It seems reasonable to raise a field dog.

Pang Mincai clicked his tongue and said, "It's bigger than the other field dogs I've seen." It's so rare to feed a big dog meat.

"Does it have a name?"

"It's called Xiao Huang." Xu Yi added in his mind, what he had just said.

Pang Mincai nodded appropriately and said, "Yellow hair all over the body, this is a very good name."

Xu Yi smiled slowly, that was how he named him in the first place.

At this time, Mrs. Qi, who was standing next to her, suddenly said, "Hey, the rain has stopped."

The two of them looked back outside the stall, and saw that the spring rain that had been falling just now had stopped quietly.

"Now that the rain has stopped, it's time for us to say goodbye." Pang Min stood up, flicked his elastic robe, and saluted Xu Yi, "Our clothes are all wet today, which is really rude. If Brother Xu doesn't mind, , you can come to my house to change your clothes."

Xu Yi thanked him for his kindness and said, "The clothes are almost dry, I will just go back and change. I just brought Xiao Huang out, so I won't come to the door. I will definitely come to the door next time. Visit."

"Okay, it's up to you." Pang Mincai didn't care.

He said goodbye to Xu Yi and returned to the hospital Shiran.

As soon as he entered the door, he caught a glimpse of Pang Yangxu eagerly looking forward to his return. When he saw that his hands were empty, his expectant face suddenly collapsed, and he said angrily: "Where is the Xianyuanzi?"

Pang Mincai paused. Oh no, he forgot to buy it.

"Hmph, you've been gone for so long, where have you been?" Pang Yangxu gritted his teeth and looked at him, feeling extremely aggrieved at the same time, "Just now my grandfather was looking for you, and I was covering you up. How's that for you? Don't say anything about the broken promise. Come back so late."

Pang Mincai said hurriedly: "Oh, it's my uncle's fault. I just bumped into someone when I went out. I just said a few words to him and forgot about it."

"Humph" Pang Yangxu obviously didn't believe it.

Seeing this, Pang Mincai could only sigh and said: "That's all, I'll buy it for you right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out. Before he could step out of the door of the medical clinic, someone stopped him behind him.

He looked back and saw his father's displeased eyes.

Pang Min shrank his shoulders, pulled back his stepped foot, and winked hard at Pang Yangxu.

Unexpectedly, Pang Yangxu ignored him, turned around and ran away.

Pang Mincai: "..."

He laughed dryly: "Dad, I just went for a walk to eat."

Dad Pang looked at him with a sneer: "How do I remember that you only ate a bowl of porridge for breakfast?"

After scolding him, he He asked Pang Mincai to recite each volume of the book "Mai Jue" to him.

Pang Mincai: "..." He smiled bitterly in his heart, this bowl of salty dumplings was really expensive.

If you lose soldiers, you also lose rice.

...

After the rain, many ordinary people went up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

A Xu got news from his neighbors that several nearby families were going to go up the mountain in a group. Seeing that they were new movers, he sent someone who was friendly and talkative to them and jokingly asked if he wanted to go with them.

"The wild mushrooms are in season in February and March, and the mushroom soup tastes great. It would be a pity to miss it."

Yan Quyue, A Xu and others were moved when they heard this, so they came to ask Xu Yi if they could go.

"When Fang comes here, it's time to establish good relations with the neighbors. If they take the initiative to ask, we can't deny our reputation." Yan Quyue even learned such polite words perfectly in order to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms.

"There are neighbors and Erqing here. They all know whether the fungus is edible. Besides, it's boring to be bored at home. It's better to go hiking."

Xu Yi suppressed a smile and said, "It's up to you. I ordered A Xu to prepare a car. Let's all go together."

"What about Tiger King and Xiao Huang?" Yan Quyue asked happily.

Xu Yi said: "Let them rest at home."

Xiao Huang is getting older and his legs and feet are not as agile as before. Xu Yi doesn't ask him to follow him for things like climbing mountains and hunting. Although Tiger King is no older than Xiao Huang, he is still quite young. He is becoming more and more lazy and does not often visit the house to play.

Yan Quyue also thinks this is true.

She went back home and changed into a convenient narrow-sleeved gown, tied the azure cardigan on the outside into a knot, then put on a pair of ankle-length leather shoes, put on a pouch and went out.

On the other hand, Xu Yi, like A Xu Erqing and others, wore short brown shorts that were convenient for work.

A long while.

Xu Yi and his group appeared in the neighborhood in a donkey cart.

Although he was wearing ordinary short brown cotton clothes, these neighbors saw him as an outstanding person, knowledgeable and courteous, and he soon became the leader of their group.

There was a young man in the group who came to ask Xu Yi: "Brother Xu, you have to be very careful when picking mushrooms. I wonder if Brother Xu knows what toadstools are?"

If a person with such a dignified appearance follows them to pick mushrooms and eat them, If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.

The young man had already thought about it. As long as Xu Yi answered no, he would definitely not let this group of people get involved in picking mushrooms.

Xu Yi said: "I know a little bit."

The young man was startled and asked doubtfully: "Brother Xu's temperament doesn't look like..."

On the side, A Xu heard this and shouted: "My husband is Doctor, he probably knows as much about fungi as you do."

"It turns out to be a doctor, I'm being disrespectful," the young man said with a smile as he dismissed his suspicion.

This little episode passed quickly. Everyone heard that Xu Yi was a doctor, but the aunts who were traveling with him were very courageous.

They came together with their companions and asked Xu Yi one by one if he could take him to the hospital.

One of the aunts who took the lead in asking the question raised her head and said proudly: "Auntie, I used to work in a wealthy family and took care of several brothers. Later, my master rewarded me for leaving the house. The house I now use is The household expenses are mostly used to restrain the host's family.

"My aunt is right," the other person said with a smile. "If you really don't leave the door, what should you say to the ladies who are making money outside?"

Although it doesn't sound good to them in public, there are many good-natured men hawking in the shops.

They saw Xu Yi going out with his family and servants, and thought that Doctor Xu did not look like a pedantic person.

Otherwise, the wife of the family would not be easily allowed to go up the mountain.

"If Doctor Xu is free, he can come and check on us." The aunt said to Xu Yi with a smile.

"The medicine lady next to us can't be found. Some old doctors don't want to show us, for fear of being criticized if they tell us."

"Doctor Xu..."

Xu Yi smiled and chatted with them, not minding their "Meng Lang behavior." .

In other words, from these aunts, he felt the cultural customs of Qishui again.

He had the habit of taking a medicine box with him when going out. On the way, he had trouble diagnosing the pulse of his auntie who was sitting on the bullock cart, so he called Ajin.

These aunts didn't care who looked at them. When they heard that A Jin would see a doctor, they talked about their own situation actively.

As women who have given birth to brothers and sisters and have been busy for most of their lives, these aunts have some minor ailments in their bodies that need to be taken care of.

Ah Jin explained the evidence of his illness one by one and came to seek Xu Yi's opinion.

Xu Yi smiled and said, "You can figure it out yourself."

Ah Jin's eyebrows lit up: "Then I will go and make a prescription for you."

...

After more than an hour, everyone's vehicles arrived at the foot of a certain mountain.

There were several bullock carts parked at the foot of the mountain. The handlebars on the carts looked towards them. Someone was already one step ahead of them.

Everyone was worried that there would be no mushrooms to collect if it was too late, so A Xu was left guarding the vehicle at the foot of the mountain, while the others carried the bamboo baskets without saying a word.

Xu Yi whispered to Yan Quyue: "There are more people picking mushrooms here than there are on the mountain."

"..." Yan Quyue glared at him, "Don't mention which pot you want to pick up."

Okay. Along the way, a young man who was asking questions came over and said he wanted to join Xu Yi and the others.

"Brother, are you afraid that we will collect toadstools?" Xu Yi looked at him with a faint smile.

The young man looked embarrassed and said nervously: "The aunts invited you to come pick mushrooms. I have to be on guard. Please don't blame me, Doctor Xu."

"No problem." Xu Yi did not feel offended. She felt that he was quite attentive and liked him very much. "You are right. We should thank you for your kindness."

His words made the young man even more shy and scratched his head.

After climbing over the mountain, the moist soil is trampled underfoot, and fallen leaves and branches can be seen everywhere. Experienced mushroom pickers look for hidden corners and dig out many delicious mushrooms.

Some were brightly colored, in the shape of beautiful orange-red umbrellas. When the aunties saw them, they all bypassed them.

"This fungus is poisonous. If you eat it, it will cause diarrhea and nausea. Doctor Xu, don't pick it up." The young man said quickly.

Xu Yi nodded and did not touch them.

Until they encountered a bright red mushroom again. This time, Erqing stepped forward and picked the red mushroom back.

"This is edible." Erqing said, "I've eaten it a few times before, and it's fine."

Xu Yi also recognized that this was a red mushroom. Although it looked like a red umbrella with a white stem, it was indeed an edible species. Bacteria can be used to make soup.

"We also picked up this fungus last time. Why did we eat it so bad?" Ah Jin came over curiously and frowned when he saw the shape of the fungus.

Erqing pursed his lips, thinking about the toadstools the brother and sister had dug up. If Doctor Xu hadn't concocted the antidote and spit out the toadstools, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"It looks like there are a lot of similar medicinal materials, not to mention mushrooms." Xu Yi patted her on the head and warned her not to secretly collect mushrooms in the future.

Ah Jin rubbed his head and curled his lips in frustration: "I haven't collected mushrooms for a long time."

There were many kinds of mushrooms on the mountain. They collected a bamboo basket full of them in more than half an hour.

Fortunately, they brought two bamboo baskets up the mountain, encountered some good fungi, and picked some more.

When they had almost collected everything and were about to go back, Xu Yi and the young man found that their aunts and sisters were no longer around.

"We seem to be in the west." Xu Yi looked at the direction of the growth of the trees and raised his eyebrows.

The young man looked around and said, "We only pick up fungi in the south. We have to go back quickly."

"Okay..." Xu Yi responded.

Just as they were about to turn back with everyone, they saw two people coming towards them from the corner of their eyes.

Everyone looked warily and saw the two men carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, their clothes covered with mud.
