Chapter 515 Love Brain
The lake was some distance from home, so Zhao Yeqing had to drive Zhang Zheng there, but it was time for the old lady to take a nap.
"You guys go, I'm fine at home alone, Xiao Mu will be back soon."
Zhang Zheng was no longer in a hurry after hearing this: "It's still early now. If Xiao Mu comes back soon, I'll wait for him to take me there."
When Mu Xi got home, the whole house was quiet. The three people returned to their rooms after lunch. Even Zhang Zheng, who was originally excited to go fishing, fell asleep after his excitement wore off.
He moved the herbs quietly in the yard. After about an hour, seeing that no one was awake yet, he walked into the house and went upstairs to wake up Zhao Yeqing.
When they looked at the time, they realized they had been sleeping for an hour and a half, so they went downstairs and woke up the two old people.
Zhang Zheng saw Mu Xi coming back, "Xiao Mu, did you get anything?"
"They are all in the yard. You can go and have a look."
Mu Xi set out at dawn, and came back with a rich harvest.
There was a pile of medicinal herbs on the floor in the front yard, some of which had not been processed yet. Many of the processed ones had been placed on clean plastic sheets.
"Dandelion, Atractylodes, Gentiana, Honeysuckle..." Zhang Zheng was already 80% satisfied after looking at these medicinal herbs. He slowly squatted down and checked them one by one, and finally stood up.
"Yes, they are all seasonal herbs. Some herbs are like this. They are treasures in spring and weeds in summer. You harvested them in a standard way... You are more intelligent than my stupid apprentice. How about you learn from me?"
Mr. Zhang's love for talent is unstoppable. At their age, there are not many young people who are willing to calm down and learn this boring knowledge from them, and even fewer who are talented. As the older generation is getting older, the skills will be lost if they are not passed on.
What's more, many people died in the past few years, and I don't know how many things our ancestors have left behind.
Looking at Mu Xi's physique and knowledge of medicinal materials, the more I thought about it, the more satisfied I became. He is indeed a good candidate.
He is good at testing herbs and identifying medicines to treat people's illnesses, and he is also good at going into the mountains to search for natural treasures.
If he had these conditions when he was young, perhaps his medical skills would be even better now.
In Zhao Yeqing's hand was holding the snack that Mu Xi had picked for her when she was collecting herbs - the Chinese prickly ash.
The bright red berries on the leaves of the big trees look particularly beautiful.
While eating, he felt a little emotional. This was already the second person who tried to recruit Mu Xi. He was really popular.
"When you have completed your studies, I will recommend you to the city's medical center. Once your career is on track, your future will be limitless! You will be one of the first batch!"
What does the first batch mean? When the country was first founded, the first batch from all over the country would most likely have developed into families of considerable size, or at least become well-known families in the local area.
Mu Xi was very grateful, but after thinking about it, he shook his head: "No, old man, I have other things to do in the near future. I don't know how long I will be busy. I want to come back after I'm done. I can't stay in the city to learn from you forever, but if you are willing to give me some advice in your free time, I will be very grateful."
If you don't want to be successful in the city, you just want to go back to the meadow. You're not a drug addict like him, so why come back?
Zhang Zheng looked past Mu Xi and towards the girl eating pomelo behind him, then glared at Mu Xi again.
Love brain!
Zhao Yeqing also thought so: he is in love. She understood the reason. If this character was replaced by a girl and put in the novel, she would be criticized.
But who made her the heroine? The sour and sweet Pengsu only felt pure sweetness at this moment.
In the afternoon, Mu Xi drove the old man to the lake. After returning with a full load, Mu Xi processed the fish in the backyard. Zhao Yeqing squatted beside him and poked his arm with his fingers.
Mu Xi laughed at what he saw, and felt itchy hands, but his hands were very dirty, so he resisted the urge to hug her: "What's wrong?"
"You really don't want to go to the city?"
"I don't want to go."
"Why?" Zhao Yeqing looked at him: "Because of me?"
"I guess so." Mu Xi did not lie to her. He did it because of Zhao Yeqing.
"What if I go to the city?"
Mu Xi sighed: "You don't have to be like this. You don't like it there, right? I'm not very interested in learning this. When I say it's because of you, I don't mean that I force myself because of you. I should say it's for myself, because I want to stay in the mountains with you. I just chose the life that makes me happy. Don't feel burdened."
"That..."
"Don't say things like, 'Then go to the city.' I know what you like, and I like what you like. It's not about forcing or accommodating me, but this is the life I like."
Love brain.
Zhao Yeqing confirmed that Mu Xi has reached the late stage.
The two elderly people in the front yard sat on chairs with their eyes closed. The sound of the conversation in the backyard came to the front. Zhang Zheng waved his palm-leaf fan slowly, "How is it, old sister? Are you relieved now?"
Old Mrs. Feng recalled that more than eight years ago, when the violent virus had just passed and the ground was cracking and collapsing, there was panic everywhere. The young man with a resolute face stood in front of her and said solemnly,
"Don't worry, auntie. I will definitely find her and stay by her side to protect her! As long as I'm alive, nothing will happen to her."
......
"People's hearts are fickle. Few people will remain unmoved by fame and fortune. At that time, I could only choose to believe. Now I am really relieved."
The laughter and scolding of young men and women in the backyard came——
"How come you brought back this with fish roe?"
"Don't you like to eat?"
"I love to eat it, but aren't there fish farmed in the pond?"
“Which ancestor was the last one to complain that farmed fish roe wasn’t as tasty as wild fish roe?”
"Aba, I don't know what you are talking about..."
The wind blew over, and the sweetness in the words was crushed in the wind. The whole yard became lively and warm because of the two mouths.
-
While cooking dinner, the two old men could hear a constant noise coming from the kitchen. It was always the one who got the upper hand by suddenly becoming unreasonable in the middle of a argument.
Zhang Zheng was also impressed: "Now I know how you two have spent the past eight years on the meadow. It was not boring at all."
The two people had the momentum of ten people.
It's not just about the frequency of conversation, but also the food in this house.
In the city, a family of seven or eight usually eats less than what these two people usually eat on the grassland.
There were three fish dishes on the table - steamed fish, stewed fish soup, and stir-fried fish offal.
In addition to fish, there are also vegetarian dishes and a whole salt-baked chicken.
After being able to go to the city to replenish supplies, Zhao Yeqing became more and more heroic in using seasonings.
The traditional method of salt baking is to bury the ingredients that need to be salt-baked in a large amount of salt, and then slowly heat them until they are cooked.
Yellow gardenia powder is applied on the chicken skin, and after being salt-baked, the whole chicken is golden yellow, with crispy skin and tender meat, which looks tempting.
The heat is well controlled and the gravy will overflow when the chicken leg is torn apart.
The old lady likes to eat fish, but Zhang Zheng, who is old, loves to eat meat. If he were not a doctor and could control himself, he would have had three highs long ago.
After the meal, Mu Xi cleaned up the dishes and said to the three people, "I will go to the city to do some work in a few days, and I don't know when I will be back."
