Chapter 514 Join in the fun
The old Chinese doctor is named Zhang Zheng. He is in his eighties but still feels quite young and wants to go back to the mountains all day long.
He has climbed every mountain around the city, which is similar to where he lived before, but he can't walk far after a long time, and many medicinal herbs are impossible to find.
When he heard about such a great place, he thought that even older sisters could go there, so it would not be a problem for him since he was still young.
It's just a matter of asking for a room. It's such a simple thing.
As soon as Zhang Zheng stepped off the helicopter, he knew he had come to the right place! As soon as his feet touched the ground, the little apprentice following behind him shouted, "Master, be careful!"
He looked down and saw, wow! There was a large patch of Gotu Kola growing in front of his house and no one was picking it. This thing can cure children's cough and relieve bronchitis simply by boiling it in water. It's almost been dug out of the city!
Really...
Zhang Zheng moved his feet to avoid the patch of thunder god, and almost stepped on a Viola yedoensis.
Looking at Zhao Yeqing who didn't know what was going on, the girl saw him looking at her and looked up and smiled at him without noticing anything.
"Apprentice, go back and write another report for me to extend my application time by another week."
The apprentice, who was delighted, didn't react for a moment. "Okay... ah? What do you mean? I'll go back?"
"Then how about I go back?"
The apprentice pursed his lips and said, "I'm leaving."
The disciple, who had pulled out the patch of thunder god roots from his feet, looked at his master on the ground with tears in his eyes as he got further and further away from him.
I'm so angry. I agreed to take him into the mountains to play.
Zhang Zheng walked into the wooden fence and saw Old Lady Feng standing outside the yard. He called out to her from a distance: "Old sister! This is such a great place!"
The old lady's back was not hunched at all. She stood there and watched with a smile as Zhao Yeqing brought Zhang Zheng over.
When they got closer, Zhang Zheng was still excited and said again: "Old sister, you are really enjoying yourself now."
The old lady nodded modestly: "It's OK, my children are not capable of letting me enjoy the good life, and I have to be busy with construction and production every day. I have to rely on my young niece, but she loves me and insists on letting me come, alas..."
The words sounded sad, and Zhang Zheng's eyes were full of resentment when he looked at his old sister. How could he not hear it? What the words meant was that the whole family was busy building the city and making contributions, and although they had no time to accompany her, her niece, who was hundreds of kilometers away, still missed her and could still take her to enjoy life.
What a rare old man.
At their age, they don’t ask for wealth and fame, but they just want good health, to have people around to accompany them, and not to be looked down upon for being old.
Zhang Zheng smacked his lips, and managed to taste a slight sour taste from his empty mouth.
Only Zhao Yeqing and the old lady are at home now. Mu Xi went out to collect herbs. Thinking that Zhang Zheng will come over today, he plans to collect a few of the herbs on the list first, and check out the places and mark the locations. Next time, if he needs more, he can just go there directly.
Marking the location is what most herbalists will do. Usually, once a herb is found in one place, if nothing goes wrong, there will be a continuous harvest period in the next few years as long as too much is not collected at one time.
Zhao Yeqing boiled some Chinese herbal tea early in the morning, adding some impatiens root, licorice and the like, which can moisten the throat and reduce internal heat.
By now the herbal tea has reached room temperature. A bowl was given to each of the two elderly people. The water with licorice has a hint of sweetness and is not unpalatable when drunk as water. It is not bitter at all.
Zhang Zheng had the same feeling as old lady Feng Chunyan. After getting off the plane, they felt relaxed and refreshed all over.
My butt was sore from sitting all the way here, so after drinking the herbal tea, I couldn't help but start walking around the house.
"Wow! Domesticated wild boars! So many piglets? I'll order 20 kilograms of bacon from you right now!"
"There are still so many goats! This goat looks delicious and warming! I'll have another meal here in the winter."
"What a big cow. Is it in the lactation period now? This calf is quite cute."
"A chicken? A green-headed duck? Okay, okay."
"Oh, did you domesticate this goose yourself by hatching it from wild goose eggs? Did it lay eggs this year?"
Zhao Yeqing shook his head. "Not yet. I guess it will be soon. Is it useful to you?"
Zhang Zheng pointed at Feng Chunyan next to him and said, "Your aunt has benefited from this. It can replenish the qi and nourish the body, but it is not too much. As she gets older and her memory becomes worse, there is a way. Take a goose egg and mix it with sugar. Steam it in a pot every morning and give it to your aunt. Eat it for five days in a row. It will have a miraculous effect on improving memory."
Zhao Yeqing was overjoyed!
Zhang Zheng laughed when he saw her like this: "You can eat too. Young people nowadays have brains that can forget things they just told you. My apprentice is like that. He is not as good as my old brain that I have used for 80 years."
Zhao Yeqing immediately flattered him: "People like you and my cousin are beyond the reach of ordinary young people like us, even if we put our brains together."
Feng Chunyan looked at Zhao Yeqing from the side. Her temperament was still the same after all these years, as if she had not grown up. It was obvious that she had a good life in the past few years.
"I'm too old to eat anything good. Keep the egg for yourself. It would be a waste if you gave it to me."
Zhao Yeqing hated to hear the old man say this. "No, you have to eat it. Not only goose eggs, but also chickens, ducks, sheep and cattle. I'm going to get some lake fish tonight. The fish in the lake are so fresh and sweet, without any fishy smell. I'm sure you'll like it."
Some older people have a deteriorated sense of taste and become particularly sensitive to fishy smells.
Fortunately, the chickens, ducks and other animals at home are fed with corn, rice and insects, so they don’t have any fishy smell even when stewed.
Zhang Zheng's eyes widened: "You have a lake here?"
"Yes." Zhao Yeqing seemed to understand something when he saw his attitude: "Are you an old fishing enthusiast?"
Zhang Zhengyi stroked his beard and said, "I am not talented, but I won the first prize in the Southern Wild Fishing Competition."
"Then you've come to the right place!" Zhao Yeqing ran into the house and showed the fishing rod he had exchanged from Brother Zhao: "What do you think of this?"
Fishing rods, reels, fishing lines, fish hooks, fishing nets... everything is available.
Zhang Zheng raised his hand and hugged the box containing fishing gear:
"Where is the lake?"
