Chapter 777 Filling the gap in the times
Yan Qingshan and his family lived in a house purchased by the Governor's Office. It was quiet in the midst of a bustling city and had a beautiful view.
At this time, there was a young scholar standing outside, with his hands behind his back and a calm look in his eyes.
Hao Huashi took a look... This was an acquaintance, the handsome boy that Xinbao mentioned that day, whose name seemed to be... Shi Minglei.
Hao Huashi walked over and asked with a smile, "Why are you standing here?"
Shi Minglei was stunned at first, then he guessed it and hurriedly saluted and asked, "But Lord Hao? Or Lord Yuan?"
Hao Huashi smiled and said, "My last name is Hao."
"Master Hao," the young man said, "I am Shi Minglei. I wonder if I can ask to see the little princess?"
Hao Huashi asked: "Why are you looking for my master?"
Shi Minglei hesitated.
Hao Huashi didn't rush him, but waited leisurely.
Then Shi Minglei said respectfully: "I saw the government notice. May I ask if the young prince is attracting birds now?"
Hao Huashi nodded.
Shi Minglei said: "I have a recipe that can attract birds. I wonder if Your Highness needs it."
He took it out from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "I am a reckless person, and I don't ask for anything. I just heard that the birds were attracted because of the locust plague, so I wanted to do my part."
He said it sincerely, and Hao Huashi was also a little polite. He took it with both hands and said, "Thank you very much. I'll ask my master to take a look first. I don't know where Mr. Shi lives. If the prescription is useful, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to make another trip."
Shi Minglei told the address, and then said: "This recipe is not actually mine, it was left by my father-in-law. If there is anything wrong with it, I will accompany my fiancée here."
Hao Huashi nodded, and Shi Minglei left.
Hao Huashi went in and told Xinbao.
Xinbao can cure people, but he is not good at treating birds and beasts. What this person brought was equivalent to bird food with Chinese medicine added. Xinbao asked someone to prepare one portion, one with a little bit of water from the space added, and one without adding any water, and he let it out to try it out.
Even without adding anything, it can still attract birds, mainly sparrows. If you add a little water, the effect will be stronger and many birds can be attracted.
Yan Qingshan said: "This is not bad. It's a good cover-up. Let's ask someone to check this person."
Madam Lin said, "Hua Shi went out to check."
Yan Qingshan nodded.
He originally thought that since he wanted to use things in the space to lure the birds, the matter of the Sumeru mustard seeds could no longer be kept a secret among his own people.
But there is no need to hold back. Just let them know the facts without knowing the reasons. They don’t need to know the details.
As for the Tiger Guards below, just let them do their work and there is no need to explain the details to them.
But with this kind of thing, they can attract birds by themselves, which is undoubtedly better and comes at a timely moment.
In the evening, Hao Huashi came back.
There is a doctor here who can treat cattle, sheep, dogs and horses. His surname is Li and his name is Li Ping'an, but because he mostly treats cattle, everyone calls him Doctor Cow.
This person is also quite interesting. His mother was originally a midwife. But one time she was asked to deliver a baby for the family's horse. Then this midwife went and really delivered the baby. But after the birth, people no longer wanted to look for her to have children.
The old woman was not in a hurry and just said that she would specialize in delivering livestock babies. After doing it more, she really figured out some tricks and got better and better at it.
This woman's husband died early, leaving behind a posthumous child, Li Ping'an. There was no one at home to look after the child, and there was nothing taboo about delivering cows and horses, so she watched the child since he was young. Then she came up with the idea of specializing in treating livestock.
Then he worked as an apprentice in a clinic for more than ten years. When his master thought he was qualified to be an apprentice, he said he wanted to treat livestock. Later, the master and apprentice had a bad relationship.
But Li Ping'an insisted on doing this and became more and more powerful.
Moreover, because many rich families have cats and dogs, they serve them more attentively than people, and they receive a lot of rewards for curing them, so the Li family lives a pretty good life.
Later, his two sons learned this skill from him, but the eldest son did not succeed. The second son was pretty good. Unexpectedly, his daughter Li Luoer learned it quietly and did better than her two brothers.
However, treating livestock had a bad reputation and he never found a good marriage.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Later, Li Erlang went out and accidentally saved Shi Minglei's mother. Then Shi Minglei came to thank him. After a few interactions, he and Li Luoer fell in love with each other.
Shi Minglei's mother also liked Li Luoer, so the two got engaged.
But at that time, Li Ping'an had been dead for less than three years, so they have not yet gotten married.
Hao Huashi finished speaking in one breath, drank half a cup of tea, and continued: "Moreover, this Shi Minglei is very talented, but he wanted to go to the academy here, but the head of the academy rejected him in front of everyone, just because his fiancée was embarrassing for treating cats and dogs?? And then this Shi Minglei was also very arrogant, so he didn't go to the academy, nor did he take the imperial examination. Now he writes vernacular and opera scripts to make money. He has a pen name called Lei Luo Ju Shi, and he is quite famous."
Xinbao was surprised: "Why is it shameful to treat cats and dogs? Xinbao can't even treat them!!"
Veterinarian, this completely fills the gap of this era! ! "Yes!" Mrs. Lin also said: "This academy's headmaster is also interesting, he has never been poor. In the countryside, a cow is more valuable than a person. If it is sick, it can be cured. How good is that?"
Hao Huashi said: "You think you are noble and upright!!"
He laughed. "When you mentioned cows, I remembered that he wrote a storybook called Transformed into a Cow... It was about an old scholar who loved eating beef, so he was reincarnated as a cow. He talked about how hard he worked and how sick he got. Then he was saved by a crude country woman whom he hated very much in his previous life. He was grateful and changed his mind about her. Who knew that at this moment, he was stolen by a cow thief, who killed him and sent him to his favorite beef restaurant. The diners like him said that the beef was tender. The waiter who he always thought was smart said that this was an old cow, how could it be tender? It was just that the chef cooked it for a long time... Hahahaha, I heard that the monk was so angry that he wrote more than a dozen poems to scold him."
Nowadays, the law strictly prohibits the private slaughter of working cattle, but there are still many restaurants selling beef privately.
Madam Lin laughed and said, "It's what he deserves. The beef you eat on the market is not dead of old age. It must have died of illness or been stolen by cattle thieves... If a cow is stolen, everyone in the village will have a hard time."
"Yes! You know it's a calf and a mature cow, but you still have to ask. You're deceiving yourself."
Several people were talking non-stop. Xinbao's eyelids were drooping from sleepiness. He said, "Hua Shi, ask him to come tomorrow. Xinbao wants to ask something."
Hao Huashi agreed repeatedly, and Madam Lin picked her up and said, "Let me see the book."
Hao Huashi smiled and said, "Okay."
