Chapter 232

In an instant, the two people opposite also saw Xu Yi and his party.

After bumping into each other, they found that they knew each other. Xu Yi asked with concern and found out that Pang Mincai and his junior brother Yang Xiujin came to the mountain to collect a medicinal material called Shiwei.

This medicinal material is an epiphytic fern that often grows in dangerous places on cliffs or in the shade next to boulders, and its leaves are harvested.

Its leaves are easy to recognize. They are smooth dark green on the front, but have brown-red hairs on the back. The scales are lanceolate and will have obvious scales after drying.

But the soil on the mountain was wet, and Yang Xiujin accidentally slipped down the hillside. Pang Mincai ran to save him, but also fell.

Pang Mincai smiled and said, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but my clothes were dirty and my palms were torn."

Yang Xiujin said to Pang Mincai apologetically, "It's all my fault for causing senior brothers to get injured."

"We are all brothers from the same sect. Why are you so

unfamiliar ?" Pang Min then looked at Xu Yi curiously and glanced at the others, "Are you here to pick mushrooms? Go back." Xu Yi replied to him.

Pang Mincai stared at the basket of mushrooms, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but asked: "Brother Xu, can you give some of your love and sell it to me?"

Xu Yi looked at the young man walking with him with questioning eyes.

They picked a lot of mushrooms, and they would definitely not be able to eat them all. The young man had been to Pang's Medical Center to see a doctor and get medicine. He recognized Pang Mincai and agreed to share some of the mushrooms with him.

A long while. The group returned to the foot of the mountain.

The aunts came back before them, and when they saw that they were safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

During the conversation, they heard that Xu Yi wanted to see Pang Mincai and Yang Xiujin off, so the aunts said goodbye to Xu Yi and Yan Quyue and left first.

"There are clean clothes in the carriage. Brother Pang, Brother Yang, if you don't mind, put them on first." Xu Yi looked at them with a smile.

Pang Mincai and Yang Xiujin thanked him and went to the carriage with A Xu's fragrant clothes.

Not long after, the two people appeared in front of everyone with new looks.

They folded the dirty clothes and put them into the bamboo basket they brought, and the curtains were raised. Pang Mincai leaned weakly on the front of the car. Yang Xiujin saw Xu Yi for the first time. He was not as comfortable as him, and sat on the mat with some restraint.

Xu Yi made tea for them, and thinking that there was only Shiwei in their bamboo basket, he asked suspiciously: "You only collect Shiwei and not other medicinal materials?"

"We don't go up the mountain often." Yang Xiujin said implicitly.

Pang Mincai looked sideways, and the scoundrel said: "It was Pang Fu who said that there is Shiwei in the mountains, and he sent us to pick two baskets to dry in the sun."

They were picking well at first, but when it was over, they fell miserably. A fall.

To this day, he still feels sore and numb in the bones of his right leg, as if it was slightly twisted.

Yang Xiujin was worried that his senior brother would say something inappropriate, so he quickly interrupted: "There are a lot of Shiwei there. If Brother Xu wants to pick it, Yang can go and lead the way."

"No need to go to such trouble." Xu Yi shook his head with a smile and said Taking a sip of tea, he said slowly, "Brother Yang, tell me the direction. Next time I want to go into the mountains, I can pick some back."

This Shiwei is a commonly used medicinal material with many uses. It is said in "Fu on the Properties of Medicine" that "Shiwei" "Treatment of stranguria in the small intestine", but in addition to relieving stranguria, it can also clear the lungs and relieve cough, cool blood and stop bleeding, and can be used in combination with many medicinal materials.

The three of them were similar in age and both were doctors, so they had a lot to talk about on the way.

After talking like this, Xu Yi knew that Yang Xiujin's family lived in Yangjiazhuang, Guo Township, outside Qishui City. When he was young, he came to the city to sell firewood and was accepted as a disciple by Pang Dafu.

Now that he has completed his studies, he has long been able to work alone, but as an apprentice, he often comes to Pang's Medical Center to help.

Yang Xiujin said humbly: "Thanks to the teacher's guidance, I can practice medicine in Yangjiazhuang. Senior Brother Pang is gentle and kind-hearted. He knows that I am stupid but never dislikes him. He treats me like a brother, which makes me feel a lot.

" As soon as the words came out, Pang Mincai trembled his shoulders, scratched his cheek and said: "Junior brother, you just take yourself too lightly. If you are really stupid, my father will not look down on you."

Yang Xiujin choked: "..."

Xu Yi Wen smiled.

"Being gentle, courteous and thrifty is what a gentleman needs when dealing with others. I treat you well because you are my junior brother." Pang Mincai leaned forward, stretched out his hand to drink the tea Xu Yi brewed, and patted his shoulder casually, "Get along with me. After all these years, don't you know my temper?"

Yang Xiujin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "Brother, give me some face."

"I don't want to," Pang Mincai said lazily. He rested his elbows on his knees.

Yang Xiujin stared at him in surprise, wondering how Senior Brother Pang could do this in front of outsiders.

He felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

However, Pang Min was his senior brother. He hissed and talked to Xu Yi about how they got along with each other. This senior brother seemed to be carefree, but when things really happened, he was more rigorous than other senior brothers. When it came to Pang Mincai, he was alone before he left the army. He asked about the difficulty of going to Jidi Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the barbarians to practice medicine, and praised his medical skills and moral character.

Xu Yi listened calmly to Yang Xiujin's words, and said with a chuckle: "I bumped into Brother Pang yesterday, and I knew that he had a pure heart and was willing to help others."

"Huh? Where did you see that?" Pang Mincai was originally made uncomfortable by Junior Brother Yang's words. , but when Xu Yi said this, he became curious.

Xu Yi said truthfully: "I bumped into you, but instead of scolding me, you invited me to eat salted dumplings and invited me to your house to change clothes."

"..." Pang Mincai laughed and said, "In that case, so does Brother Xu. "What a good person."

"You not only lent us clothes, but also sent us home. You are really a good person."

After complimenting each other like this, the three of them looked at each other and laughed happily, feeling free and unrestrained. With a cup of hot tea, the journey home became very interesting.

...

In another donkey cart, Yan Quyue and Ah Jin heard bursts of laughter coming from the vehicle in front.

It was rare for Yan Quyue to hear Xu Yi's hearty laughter, and she smiled and said to A Jin: "It seems that the two of them have met their husband as before, and I will have to ask him later if he wants to invite him to stay for a meal. "

We picked so many mushrooms today that we can make a mushroom banquet." Ah Jin smiled and said that he would ask his brother to get some sake.

Those wild mushrooms are really delicious.

But Yan Quyue also knew Xu Yi's temperament well, and he would definitely not agree to eat all the fungi in one day.

"It's a pity that there are no crabs." Yan Quyue shook his head.

A Jin said: "I came out today and saw an old man selling river shrimp. Madam, do you think we should buy some?"

Since there are river shrimps, we must buy them. There is no seafood to buy in Sichuan and Qizhou. , they have always only eaten river fresh food, and that kind of seafood is only known from the mouths of Xu Yi and some merchants, and they still don’t know what it looks like.

After entering the city, the donkey cart drove for several miles and stopped at an intersection. Going to the right was to the south of Xishui, and to the left was to the east of the city.

Xu Yi raised his eyelids and invited them to eat mushroom pot at home with a slight smile.

Pang Mincai and Yang Xiujin were chatting about an interesting topic. For them, Xu Yi's travels were too attractive. They agreed happily without thinking much.

Xu Yi was very happy about this. Most of the Chinese medicine practitioners he came into contact with in his previous life were family members and teachers and professors at school. The only people of the same age were his classmates.

He was busy with his studies and did not have a deep relationship with his classmates before. Instead, he often communicated less and less with his classmates because he was busy with his studies.

Later, when he traveled here, he came into contact with fewer doctors of the same age...

Today's chance encounter seemed to be mysterious. The three of them had completely different personalities, but they had a great time chatting.

The two of them were also aware of this problem. If they hadn't both had their own masters, they would have wanted to drag Xu Yi to join them as brothers.

Of course, just listening to Xu Yi's opinions on many diseases and syndromes, the two of them knew that, let alone them, they might not even be as good as the big man.

"I'm going to call an idle guy and tell my father." Pang Mincai jumped out of the carriage and said to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi said: "Let Erqing go."

When Erqing heard Xu Yi calling him, he quickly let go of the rope tied by Wangcai and ran over.

Xu Yi said to him: "When you go to Xishuinan Pang's Medical Center, you tell me that Brother Pang and Brother Yang are guests at home, and then go to a stall selling dumplings opposite. The stall owner calls Madam Qi and buys a few bowls of salted dumplings. "

The salty dumplings taste quite good, so I brought them back for Yan Quyue and the others to try.

"Hey, I got it."

After receiving the order, Erqing turned around and ran to the river bank outside the neighborhood, recruiting a boatman to take him to Xishuinan.

...

At noon, A Xu and A Jin made mushroom pot and fried river prawns.

Ah Jin went to buy the river shrimps. She saw the old man selling river shrimps guarding the stall and no one was interested, so she bought all the river shrimps back.

When he found too many, he came to ask Yan Quyue how to deal with the extra river shrimps.

Yan Quyue asked her to wash the river shrimps, fry them, and give some of them to the neighbors who went to the mountains to collect mushrooms today.

Fried river shrimp is one of Ah Jin's specialty dishes. She cooked it twice with the sesame pepper oil made by Ah Xu. It was crispy and spicy, and her tongue was numb after eating it.

But the superiors, Pang Mincai, Yang Xiujin, and the neighbors have never eaten river shrimps made like this.

On that day, many neighbors came to visit with fruits, vegetables, chickens, and snacks, taking the opportunity to ask about how to make the fried river prawns.

Yan Quyue entertained them in the side hall.

"Ms. Yan, after we have lived for so many years, this is the first time we have eaten river shrimp cooked in this way. We only found out that there was sansho pepper in it, but we didn't know how it was made."

Qishui people love spicy food, and there are many delicious foods. Spicy spices such as sansho pepper and dogwood are added.

Like sansho, they are expensive in spice shops, but they can occasionally pick them from the mountains and use them after drying them.

Those from poor families can keep part of it for themselves and sell the extra for money.

No matter which way it is, Qishui people only love spicy food more. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so shameless as to ask for this recipe of fried river prawns.

Yan Quyue did not agree directly, but said with a smile: "My Ajin made this, I have to ask her."

"Okay, okay." One of the aunts agreed with a smile, "Since it is a good baby, then it is the right thing to do. Hide it and tuck it in."

Soon, Ah Jin came over and heard that they wanted to learn how to fry river shrimps. After thinking for a while, he agreed.

"These river shrimps taste great, and they are even more delicious when fried. I don't make money with them, so why not teach them to you."

She doesn't cook often, preferring to treat others instead of cooking.

Seeing that they all followed him to the kitchen, he patiently took the remaining river shrimp and demonstrated how to cook it on the spot.

...

After settling in Qishui, Xu Yi found a sunny day and found a Biao Bank in Sichuan, and sent a few letters to Yanting through Biao Bank.

Afterwards, Xu Yi thought about the next arrangements.

He ordered A Xu to find out a lot of information. There were many folk medical clinics in Qishui City. Apart from Pang's Medical Clinic, the more famous one was Mingde Medical Clinic in the east of the city.

The doctor at Mingde Medical Center is well-known in Qizhou, and doctors and patients from outside the city often come for consultation.

Moreover, the medical center was quite close to their residence. If Xu Yi wanted to open a clinic at home, it would seem... like he was going to compete with Mingde Medical Center.
