"Don't underestimate this little girl because she's an excellent acupuncturist and she's also a great pharmacist."
Just like all parents who show off their children, Uncle Yaozi never stops showing off Yi Chichi.
"The most important thing is that she can take responsibility..."
Seeing that he was about to talk nonstop, Yi Chi, who was embarrassed by the compliments, couldn't help but poke him, "Uncle, take it easy."
Don't praise her anymore, or she'll be so embarrassed that she'll want to dig out a castle.
The old man also intervened, "I think you have accepted a disciple who is crazy."
Uncle Yaozi laughed, "That's my good fortune. You're not crazy, but you haven't had a single disciple in all these years."
The old man's face suddenly fell. This annoying thing was really making trouble for no reason. He was as disgusting as the old medicine man.
"Old girl, have you eaten yet?"
He asked Yi Chichi with a smile.
"No."
Yi Chichi squatted beside him and talked to the old man without knowing him at all.
Uncle Yaozi watched the old and the young chatting happily in silence, and found that Yi Chichi's personality was really interesting.
He is not shy, smiles at everyone he meets, and is sweet-mouthed and good at chatting.
Before I knew it, I had almost figured out everything about the old man.
The fox did not leave. It was a fox that was not shy or afraid of people. After staring at Yi Chizhi for a while, it sneaked over.
By the time Yi Chichi reacted, this guy was already lying next to her, twisting like a candy.
A pair of fox eyes were also looking at her, and her little appearance was so charming.
Yi Chichi felt like petting it, "Mr. Bai, this is the fox you raised."
"What? This is a white-browed fox. It was attracted by the pheasant."
Old Whitehead used a knife to cut the cleaned pheasant into two, giving half to the fox and the other half to the thin dog.
In an instant, the fox and the dog's attention were attracted by the pheasant. They grabbed the chicken and squatted aside to eat it with relish.
Yi Chichi realized belatedly that this white-browed, mixed-haired fox was the fox that Uncle Yaozi had mentioned that he just had to stay away from.
"Uncle, I think it's quite normal. It doesn't attack anyone."
Uncle Yaozi was staring at the fox with a frown on his face. Hearing this, he wondered, "It was quite aggressive before, but maybe it has become better as it gets older."
"laugh……"
Before he finished speaking, a sneer with a hint of sarcasm came from the old white-headed man's mouth. Uncle Yaozi was furious when he heard it. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to find trouble with the old white-headed man, but was nailed to the spot by his words.
"Do you want to eat chicken?!"
He picked up the two pheasants and shook them. Yi Chichi swallowed his saliva and Uncle Yaozi's eyes lit up.
"eat!"
He said in a loud and earnest voice, "What do you want me to do? Just tell me."
"Go and sort out the herbs for me, and ask your little apprentice to light the stove."
Old Whitehead is also a herbalist, and he has decades of experience in this field.
He went into the mountains in early March, climbed over several mountains, and only returned a few days ago. He originally planned to rest in the wooden house for one night before going back, but he didn't expect to meet Xiao Yaozi who brought Yi Chichi up the mountain.
The ready-made labor force should be put to good use.
Therefore, he was very open and frank when he ordered people around.
Uncle Yaozi immediately looked embarrassed, "How about letting my little apprentice help you with the herbs, and I'll go to light the stove, okay?"
When Yi Chichi was called, he immediately stood up straight with an expression that said "I can do it."
The old white-haired man glanced at Uncle Yaozi, then fixed his gaze on Yi Chichi's face, "Can you handle medicinal herbs?"
"meeting!"
"Did Xiaoyaozi teach you?"
"...No, there is another master."
"No beginner teacher?"
"I've mastered medicine and acupuncture, but not anything else."
Quite honest!
"Then go and try it!"
"Okay."
Then, Yi Chichi and Uncle Yaozi divided the work.
Old Whitehead deals with the remaining chickens.
Cooking has nothing to do with Yi Chichi, and she can't do it.
The stove in the wooden house was big, and the pot was also big. She couldn't control the quantity, nor the temperature of the fire on the big stove.
Instead of wasting food, it is better to do what you are familiar with.
Therefore, while the two men, an old man and a middle-aged man, were busy cooking, Yi Chichi was conscientiously processing the medicinal materials for the old man.
This man is a capable person. The medicinal materials he collects are not only of sufficient age and good quality, but also rare.
There are not only medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps militaris, but also Rhodiola rosea, Astragalus, and Fritillaria thunbergii.
The number is really quite large.
Yi Chichi was delighted to see the prey, and handled each one patiently and carefully.
The treatment of Fritillaria thunbergii is a bit troublesome as it is stained with too much mud and sand, so you need to clean the mud and sand before treatment.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky gradually darkened.
Just when Yi Chichi was about to raise his head to stretch his neck, which was a little sore from looking down for so long, Uncle Yaozi's voice suddenly came, "Chichi, stop it, let's eat first."
"Hey, here it comes!"
A rich fragrance hit him in the face, and Yi Chichi quickly put down the Fritillaria in his hand, washed his hands and went to eat.
Uncle Yaozi and Old Man Bai had already set the table and poured the wine. When they saw Yi Chichi coming over, they quickly asked her to sit down.
He tore off a rabbit leg.
The golden rabbit legs have a beautiful sheen, with bits of chili sprinkled on top, giving them a fresh and fragrant taste with a hint of spiciness.
Yi Chichi swallowed his saliva, said thank you, took the rabbit leg and took a bite impatiently.
The taste was so delicious that she narrowed her eyes.
“Is it delicious?”
Mr. Bai, who is an expert at making rabbits, saw her like this and asked with a smile.
"tasty!"
She nodded hurriedly, pouring out compliments as if they were free, praising Mr. Bai so much that he couldn't stop grinning. His head was confused and he made a promise in a daze.
"I'll give you two rabbits when I get back tomorrow."
"??? Huh? Give me a rabbit?"
Yi Chichi's eyes suddenly widened. Is the old man so generous? Snow rabbits are abundant in Kaoshan Village, and snow rabbits are heavier than grass rabbits. Even if the meat yield of rabbits is low, two rabbits together weigh more than ten kilograms.
What’s more——
"If I remember correctly, now is the season when rabbits give birth and raise their cubs."
The implication is that if the big rabbit is caught, what will happen to the little rabbit?
Mr. Bai immediately understood what she meant and smiled. This girl is quite kind-hearted.
"Those of us who rely on the mountains for our livelihood know better than you. Don't worry, they are all male rabbits."
Even if a mother rabbit with cubs is caught, it will be released.
The same goes for hunters. They hunt the old and not the young, the males and not the females, etc. There are many rules.
Uncle Yaozi took a sip of wine and said slowly, "It looks like you caught a lot of rabbits this time."
"No."
The old white-headed man quickly denied, "There are only about ten of them."
"A dozen or so is not enough?"
Yi Chichi was shocked, "Did you dig out the rabbit's nest?"
"almost."
No one knew what he was thinking about, but Mr. Bai sighed and said, "It will be hard to catch rabbits in the future."
"Why?"
"The lynx has appeared."
Yi Chichi suddenly realized that if he remembered correctly, the food of lynx is snow hare and various wild hares. The number of snow hares and various wild hares will be greatly reduced where there are lynx.
"There were no lynxes before?"
