Another month passed, and the quiet Xiashan Village erupted in commotion. The notice of rehabilitation reached the village chief, who handed it to Wen Xunqing, who had been waiting nearby.
"Old man, you are vindicated."
The villagers smiled and congratulated Wen Xunqing. They had long known that Xiashan Village would never retain such a master of traditional Chinese medicine, but after so many years of getting along, they still thought they could use some of his knowledge.
“Thank you…thank you…”
Wen Xunqing looked at the rehabilitated order in his hand, tears streaming down his face. The order in his hand felt incredibly heavy. He glanced at the people around him who were congratulating him, and couldn't help but think of his young apprentice.
"Uncle Wen, this is great news. I'll ask Guihua to prepare a few more dishes and bring out Niuniu's homemade fruit wine so we can have a few drinks."
Shen Chenfeng, who was standing by, smiled and nodded. It just so happened that everyone was present today, so there was no need to call anyone else. "Let's all go together, and we'll just do it for Elder Wen."
"nature……"
"Of course we have to go. We all have to go."
Everyone around said they would definitely go. The cooking skills of Sister-in-law and Brother Chen's daughter were both well-known in Xiashan Village. If their children weren't so unpromising, they would all want to become in-laws with Brother Chen. Alas... it was a pity that no one had the talent to pursue Brother Chen's daughter.
Meanwhile, Miao Guihua and her daughters were busy preparing for the Wen family's wedding banquet. Chen Yu and Shen Feng were also under supervision at home, helping out. After all, a rough estimate was that there would be around ten tables, and if they didn't prepare in advance, they might not be able to handle it.
"Mom...what kind of dishes are you planning to prepare? This much meat and fish, it really costs a lot of money."
"You don't know this! Dad has traveled to many places recently, just waiting for this opportunity to practice for Grandpa Wen and the others."
Xiashan Village couldn't keep Grandpa Wen, but the people of Xiashan Village were incredibly grateful. Firstly, Grandpa Wen taught them skills, and secondly, he showed them another way out. The surrounding mountains were a treasure, but they guarded it without knowing how to use it, which was truly a pity.
"Maidong is leaving, and Grandpa Wen is leaving too." Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"Okay, it's not like we can't meet. Besides, didn't Dad say that the leader has talked to him, and things will get better and better in the future?"
We don’t have to hide good things like we do now, otherwise it will be a disaster if they leak out.
"Brother, stop talking nonsense and chop the meat quickly."
Shen Yun wielded the kitchen knife. Mincing meat was her least favorite task. It required a lot of strength, and it required no skill at all. This kind of task was usually carried out by her older brothers, but Shen Yun felt no guilt in ordering Shen Feng and Shen Yu to do it.
Shen Feng and Shen Yu looked at each other helplessly, then rolled up their sleeves, picked up their kitchen knives, and began chopping the pork belly on the chopping board like an ode to joy. They quickly turned the pork belly in front of them, breaking it into chunks and finally into a paste.
"It needs to be minced a little more. I want to use minced meat."
"Niuniu...you really know how to order people around." Shen Feng and Shen Yu couldn't help but complain.
"Hehe...it's because you are all older than me." Chen Yun straightened her small body proudly. She would order her brother around.
"By the way, Dad is thinking about the fruit wine you made. You should prepare some for the banquet later."
Chen Feng thought of the taste of the fruit wine and couldn't help but savor it. It would be best if his sister could just let him drink as much as he wanted. This was a rare opportunity, and both father and son had united to get more fruit wine. Otherwise, one sip each wouldn't be enough.
"It's been prepared a long time ago. It's fifty kilograms. Should be enough, right?" Shen Yun looked at his brother.
"That's enough. That's enough."
After receiving the exact figure, Shen Feng and Shen Yu's eyes sparkled. They hadn't expected the surprise to come so suddenly. Look, fifty kilograms of fruit wine—this amount was truly beyond anyone's expectations.
…
The Shen family was bustling with activity that night. Ten tables filled the large courtyard, even occupying the space occupied by the neighboring Wen family. As if they were enjoying a feast, a constant stream of people streamed in and out.
"Today's dishes are really rich."
"I didn't expect that the Shen family really spent a lot of money."
"It's because the two families have such a good relationship that the Shen family's daughter even studied medicine with Old Master Wen. Her medical skills are even better than her master's."
"Well... more importantly, the Shen family is here too."
"It seems that the little girl from the Wen family has become her apprentice and has learned all her embroidery skills from her."
The aunties and grandmas nearby were discussing recent events. Don't think there are any secrets in the village; it's unlikely that there are any. They gossip about the neighbors, and basically anything that happens can spread throughout the village in an instant.
"That's his ability. Now that Mr. Wen is leaving, it will be difficult for us to get medical treatment."
"It's not that Shen Liang is here. He has been with the old man of the Wen family for so long anyway, so he should be able to learn a thing or two."
"Yeah! Shen Liang's level is not bad either."
Chen Liang has always been the doctor of their village. Moreover, although he cannot be said to have learned all the skills from the old man of the Wen family, he should have learned 50% to 60% of them, which is enough.
Looking at the time, Wen Xunqing and Shen Chenfeng finally appeared in front of everyone.
"Thank you, thank you everyone. I am deeply honored to be able to offer flowers to Buddha today."
Wen Xunqing looked at all the villagers present in Xiashan Village. If it weren't for their protection, the lives of the three of them would certainly not be so comfortable. Everywhere people were saying that Traditional Chinese Medicine was one of the "Four Olds" and needed to be destroyed. Who would dare to mess with the "Four Olds"?
"Mr. Wen, you are too polite. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much torture my little grandson would have suffered."
"That's right, we are all people who have a deep understanding of your old man's medical skills."
They were used to enduring minor ailments and pains. However, with Old Man Wen around, they could not only be cured at home, but also without spending too much money. They didn't need to spend any money on common herbs they could pick, and only went to the pharmacy for more expensive ones, which was a small expense compared to the cost of hospital admission.
"Grandpa, with you in charge of our village, everyone in the village is in good health."
"For example, I'm no longer out of breath, and my body is getting stronger and stronger."
Each of them stood tall, demonstrating that their words had real effects, turning a formal practice banquet into a platform for personal demonstration. The villagers on the side did not react, but Shen Chenfeng expressed his helplessness.
“Ahem…”
The village chief couldn't help but come out to take charge of the situation. There was no other way, since no one else was there, he had to do it.
