End of Chapter 282

Xu Yi gave him a cold compress with licorice water. This licorice water not only contains licorice, but also adds loquat leaves, coptis, astragalus and cork. After decoction and filtering the medicinal residue, add gypsum powder and stir it into a paste. Can be applied to damp sores.

The young man was a scholar and had never boiled medicine before, so he left this job to Lin. In this regard, Mrs. Lin is very careful in her work. Even if the patients who come to see her do not know how to cook medicine, she can handle it well.

This damp sore needs to be taken internally and externally, so Xu Yi gave him a prescription for a freckle-removing and detoxifying decoction. This medicinal soup was naturally given to Lin.

The young man paid money and temporarily rented a shared house near Xu's house. He came there every morning and evening to apply and take medicine.

Three days later, the damp sores on the young man's hands improved.

After five days, the young man no longer needs to apply licorice water, but only takes medicinal decoction.

Ten days later, the young man came to thank Xu Yi. The damp sores on his body had been cured and it was time to return to Zizhou Mansion.

...

Time flies and comes to the eve of the New Year. This is the first year that Xu Yi and Yan Quyue have come back. The two of them are discussing how to have a good time.

There were still ten days left before the New Year's Day, so Xu Yi stopped the project at Dongjiao Medical University and gave the craftsmen and workers a holiday. Since the New Year was coming, he was not stingy and gave everyone a bunch of copper coins before going Go to Baili Village and find Village Chief Zhang to buy a fat pig, and ask the butcher to kill the pig and divide the meat.

When the workers heard that they had received such a rich New Year's gift this year, they all thanked them gratefully and ran in line to receive the pork with their eyes looking forward to it.

For the common people in Yanting, meat is not available every day, and only during the New Year and major festivals will their families be willing to cut some fat meat back. The fat meat is not something you can eat all you want. At each meal, cut a small piece and fry it in a pan to remove the fat. Then use it for stir-frying and making soup. Try to make every dish covered with oily smell, and wait until the meat is cooked. The small pieces of meat were used to their full potential, then cut into thin slices and given to the mainstays who worked hard every year, and then distributed to children and the elderly.

Today, each of them received three pounds of meat. Each piece of meat is alternately fat and thin, and is colorful in white. It is very tempting to look at it.

The pig weighed over a hundred kilograms. After dozens of craftsmen and workers divided it, there was still a lot of pig waste and four pig trotters left. These two parts must be made with aniseed to taste delicious. The workers were reluctant to use expensive spices to marinate the pig offal and pig trotters. They looked at it reluctantly and then went to Zhang Tiegou with their money and pork. Press fingerprints and go home.

After everyone left, Zhang Tiegou picked up the registration book and put it under his armpit. He came over and took a look: "Hey, these are good things."

Xu Yi said: "It's not bad. You can take it back. You can eat it after processing it tonight. "Enter."

Zhang Tiegou looked at the butcher who was putting away the knives, and then at A Xu who was helping him, and said with a smile: "The pig's trotters soup made by A Xu is delicious. How about making these pig trotters into pig's trotters?" The soup is so good."

After hearing this, A Xu nodded and said happily: "I'll take it back first, and Brother Tietou and Sister Meng will come over to eat it later."

Xu Yi added from the side: "Give it a try. Mother and Sister Lan are both calling. "

It's the Chinese New Year, and the school is busier than usual these days. Brother An has to study at night in the school, and he can't go home until midnight.

"Okay, I'll call my godmother and the others."

A Xu first carried the pig into the water and its trotters, and then left with the butcher.

Xu Yi and Zhang Tiegou took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the surrounding environment before dark. They would not come here specially during this period before and after the Chinese New Year. In a few months, the medical building was almost completed. It was surrounded by a two-meter-high wall and locked with a large iron lock. When you patrol to the rear, you will encounter a shed made of bamboo. The shed occupies a large area and contains a lot of wood and stone bricks.

Zhang Tiegou touched the wood, locked the door, and said to Xu Yi: "I didn't expect that we could accomplish such a big thing."

This is folk medicine.

It sounds different.

Xu Yi chuckled upon hearing this: "You will also be a teacher then."

"Me? Be a teacher???" Zhang Tiegou stared wide-eyed.

No, he doesn't know anything about medicine.

Zhang Tiegou scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'd better forget it. Although I also want to be a teacher and have fun, if I really become a teacher, I will mislead my students."

"No."

Xu Yi was amused by him, After a moment, she stopped laughing and looked at him seriously, "Being a doctor, physical exercise is very important. You can box, shoot, and have good martial arts skills. If you can teach doctors to exercise, they will travel, climb mountains and wade in the future. Water, even if you go to the mountains to collect medicinal materials, can protect yourself."

As he said this, Zhang Tiegou rubbed his fists, feeling a bit like a cloud.

"Can I really make it?"

"I can make it."

...

In the past few months, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. He, Li Mengniang and Fang Caiyi have all gathered together to do needlework. They have to finish it before the festival. The family made two pieces of clothing.

Mrs. He was the best at needlework, but as she got older in the past few years, she had some presbyopia and her work speed had slowed down, so she taught her daughter-in-law Fang Caiyi her skills. Fang Caiyi used to do needlework at home, and even Li Mengniang wanted to learn it. Madam He saw that she wanted to learn, so she also taught her.

Li Mengniang wants to make two more outfits for Brother An and Sister Lan, as well as an iron dog. Everyone else has it, but Zhang Tiegou doesn't have it.

Fang Caiyi smiled and joked: "If Brother Zhang knew, he would come to my house tomorrow wearing nice new clothes to show off."

Li Mengniang blushed upon hearing this.

How could she not know the virtues of her husband?

"I made it, so of course he likes it." Li Mengniang blushed, but she was not ashamed. "Look at the piece you have on your hand. It is made of blue and blue material. It is soft and comfortable to the touch. Isn't it also made for your Yu Qiulin? ?"

Fang Caiyi glared at her: "He is running around all year round, so he always needs decent clothes."

Li Mengniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, yes, sister Caiyi is absolutely right,"

and said, "Brother Yi . When we came back, our two families were even busier. I heard that the construction there had been stopped two days ago, so I thought I could have a good rest. But my husband said that Brother Yi wanted him and Brother Qiulin to collect firewood and ashes. It means there will be a big fire next year. "Use it."

Fang Caiyi said: "I know about this. Qiulin has collected it before. It can be used to make medicine and improve the soil."

Yu Qiulin also said a lot, but she didn't understand it very well, so she just remembered it. Live these.

The two young people were chatting together, and Madam He and Madam Chen were also chatting in the room next to them.

They were going to make clothes for Xu Yi and Yan Quyue. The daughter-in-law was busy with the new clothes for the family, but the Xu family had no elders. They all knew that Yan Quyue didn't know how to sew, so they took advantage of the New Year to get the clothes out.

After working for more than half a month, only the pattern on the sleeves has not yet been embroidered.

"I heard that after this house is built, we will be able to start a medical school next year. How many apprentices will we have to recruit to build such a big house?" Mrs. Chen sighed with both happiness and worry, "There are many long-term workers in the village, but not in medicine." Only those few children are teaching, so they don't have to be too tired."

Mrs. He smiled and said: "You just love worrying. We only have so many people in Yanting and how many people want to study medicine. Even if medicine is established, it won't be possible for a while. There will be so many apprentices coming."

Mrs. Chen was stunned, she had never thought that there would be no apprentices.

She immediately raised her heart to her throat and asked eagerly, "What if no apprentice comes?" If there is no apprentice, brother Yi will be disappointed.

Mrs. He: "Although I don't understand, with Brother Yi's skill, there will be no shortage of apprentices."

They all look forward to the establishment of medicine.

The two of them did not slow down their sewing work because of this matter. If they were faster, they could take it to Xu's house tomorrow for Xu Yi and his wife to try on.

At this time, Yan Quyue brought Ah Jin over.

They had received news earlier that they did not need to make new clothes this year, and they would be provided with them. Yan Quyue didn't have the nerve to take it for free. This elder wanted to make clothes for them. That was the elder's wish. As a junior, she also had to give her own thoughts.

I came here today to bring New Year gifts.

Yan Quyue has prepared everything for the He family and the Zhang family, so that they don't have to work any more. They need to use red candles, lanterns, lamp oil, etc. for any festival. For food, they can eat meat, fruits and vegetables, and even There are also red beans, red dates, dried goods, etc.

She called four strong men in the village to move them over.

In one fell swoop, Zhang family’s courtyard was completely covered.

The four people doing the embroidery work came out to take a look. They didn't know where to put their eyes: "You said you wouldn't let us prepare it, but you prepared so much?"

How long will it take to use and eat this?

"With the addition of many people to the family, there are also more things to use. These may seem like a lot, but if you divide them up, they won't be much." Yan Quyue said, taking out the two brocade boxes inside.

One is given to Mrs. Chen, and the other is given to Mrs. He.

She said: "My husband prepared this for my godmother and aunt. It contains beauty pills, which can be taken with porridge."

"Brother Yi, do you still have time to prepare these?" Mrs. Chen opened it excitedly.

Yan Quyue smiled and said: "Of course there is. It's for my godmother, of course he has to prepare it himself."

It's not just the two of them, there are Fang Caiyi and Li Mengniang, as well as the two ladies from the Tao family and the Xin family, Wu Guanshan's There are many people who are familiar with her, including the lady, but the recipes for beauty pills prepared are different.

Mrs. He said: "Brother Yi is interested."

This thing cannot be bought in drug stores outside.

It smells sweet and tastes great, not like a pill at all.

On the other side, A Xu and Er Qing went to the countryside to collect fish from fishermen. They took the fish they received back to the city and went to Tao's Restaurant.

Tao Qinghao was waiting for them in the restaurant. When he saw them coming back with two baskets of lively and dancing carp, he happily rolled up his sleeves and shouted to the kitchen people to come and move them in quickly.

The man in the kitchen brought the fish in, weighed it after a while, and came back to tell them.

Tao Qinghao said: "Put this fish here with me. You can pick it up in two days."

A Xu said: "Tao Langjun, here is the deposit."

Tao Qinghao looked at the money bag he handed over and raised his eyebrows: " What kind of friendship do our two families have? The deposit is waived. "

No, Lang Jun said that all brothers will settle the matter." A Xu shook his head stubbornly.

Tao Qinghao opened his mouth, put the money bag away, thought for a while and said, "You should know that if the fish is made into fish balls, only five kilograms of fish balls can be produced from ten kilograms. The two baskets of fish contain eighty-six kilograms. It can produce about forty-three kilograms of fish balls."

A Xu and Er Qing both understood, thinking that they would be able to pick up dozens of kilograms of fish balls in the next two days, with happy smiles on their faces.

As soon as they left, Tao Qinghao took a deep look at them, turned around and called the people in the kitchen to move the fish to the bullock cart. He sat on another donkey cart with a warm pot on it and turned around to go there. Chef Lu’s natal family.

Xu Yi asked Tao Qinghao to ask Chef Lu to make these fish balls.

Chef Lu knew it was Xu Yi's commission, so she didn't refuse. She accepted the fish and the deposit and asked Tao Qinghao to leave.

...

Everything for the festival is ready.

The year has arrived.

Early in the morning, just after dawn, Ah Jin and Qiao Qin, both dressed in festive blouse skirts, knocked on the door, urging Xu Yi and Yan Quyue to go to the door and light firecrackers.

"You are Lang Jun, you have to come in person."

"Hurry up, everyone is ready and waiting for you, Lang Jun."

Xu Yi smiled faintly and came out hand in hand with Yan Quyue. Two rows of red beams were hung on the corridor. Lanterns, the bare jujube tree in the courtyard, tied with colorful red cloth strips, and the stone benches, tables and chairs below, with festive fruit plates, filled the entire courtyard with a lively New Year atmosphere.

Yan Quyue pushed him gently and met Xu Yi's eyes, which were looking sideways. With bright eyes and white teeth, there was an urging smile in her voice: "I'm waiting too, go quickly." "

Okay." Xu Yi took it. Go over and light the firecrackers hanging on the door.

"Pa-pa-pa--"

the sound of firecrackers sounded, and the new year began.

Xu Yi raised his head and faced the cold wind, but he didn't feel cold. It was as if there was a layer of warm wind surrounding him. With every step he took, he felt more and more at ease.
