The people who came this time still stayed at the captain's house. After being asked to leave by Tian Cai, Zhang Defa watched the two people leaving without saying a word.
"What are you thinking about?" Gao Huijuan nudged him with her arm.
Zhang Defa finally came to his senses, shook his head, and exclaimed, "This is unbelievable!"
Gao Huijuan became increasingly confused. "What's so serious?"
They were the only couple at home, and Zhang Defa didn't hide anything from her. He said, "I said this Xiaotian is incredible. You can tell without me that those people who lived in our house before came to see her for treatment. Do you know who that person was?"
Gao Huijuan rolled her eyes at him. Here she goes again, always keeping things in suspense at crucial moments. So she said unhappily, "I don't know!"
"He is a division commander!!" Zhang Defa didn't know this before. He only knew that the man held a military position. It was only when he heard Secretary Feng call him "Division Commander Yu" this time that he and Li Tie found out.
You know, Li Tiegang has been a soldier for so many years, and the highest position he has ever held is a platoon leader!
Gao Huijuan didn't understand, but she knew from her husband's expression that the division commander was a very high military rank. Thinking that the old man who came this time was even older than the last one, she asked, "What about this time's man?"
"I don't know about this one either, but he's probably not an ordinary person," Zhang Defa thought, stroking his chin. "How about we rebuild the dilapidated house? It's a bit unreasonable for someone to always live like this."
"It will cost so much to repair this broken house. Where will you get the money from? It would be better for the visitor to live at home. It will seem more practical to us and we can have someone to take care of us if anything happens." Gao Huijuan objected. She believed that if the visitor could live at home, her family could also benefit from it. However, Zhang Defa didn't like to hear this, so she would not say it out loud.
Zhang Defa thought about it and agreed, so he said no more.
Old Master Jiang wanted to make friends with Tian Cai, and Tian Cai also had the same intention. The two hit it off immediately and had a great time chatting along the way.
"That's my home over there!" Tian Cai pointed to his home.
Against the backdrop of green mountains, the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain gives people a sense of leisure and freedom as if they are looking at the Nanshan Mountain. Here you can see a patch of pink beside the courtyard wall, which seems to be a tree in bloom.
Green mountains, pink flowers, yellow roofs, gray walls, several colors intertwined together, coupled with the rising smoke, outline a tranquil picture.
An indescribable feeling came over him, and Old Master Jiang felt that his originally restless heart suddenly calmed down, making him want to stay here for a while longer.
I can't help but sigh that this place with its green mountains and clear waters is no wonder it gave birth to such a talented person as Dr. Oda.
Tian Cai already has the medicinal materials needed for the wound medicine. They have all been simply prepared and have not undergone secondary processing.
Old Master Jiang looked at the medicine grinder in his hand with a hint of nostalgia. Since he got older, he no longer did these chores himself. Later, a powder grinder came out, so he didn't have to grind most of the medicinal materials himself.
"I remember when I was a kid, my grandfather often forced me to grind medicine. He always said that this kind of boring work was the best way to temper one's temper, and he thought I was too impatient and impulsive. At that time, I always thought that grinding medicine was the most difficult and painful thing in the world. Later," Old Man Jiang smiled and shook his head, then continued, "I went out on my own and realized that everything in the world was much more difficult than grinding medicine. I began to miss the easy life of grinding medicine as a child."
Tian Cai smiled. She had never experienced this kind of pain. When she was a child, her family already had a grinder, but Grandpa Tian still liked to grind a lot of medicinal herbs by himself. He always talked to people while grinding the herbs.
Tian Cai was extremely envious and would often secretly turn the medicine grinder when Grandpa Tian wasn't paying attention. So in her eyes, the medicine grinder was always a big toy that she could never get.
As for the original owner, she recalled that she seemed to like grinding medicine in the past.
Tian Cai wanted to inquire about the Cai family from Old Man Jiang, but asking directly would arouse suspicion. Now that he heard him mention his family, he said, "Hearing what you said, it seems that you must have learned medicine from your family. Maybe your old man had the same idea as you when he was young."
Old Master Jiang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "You're right, why didn't I think of that! Our Jiang family has been practicing medicine for generations. When he was a child, he must have been forced to do this by my great-grandfather a lot, so I should force my grandson, who is always busy, to do this. It can be regarded as a family inheritance. It's just that young people nowadays are all about ideals and ambitions, and are unwilling to listen to the elders at home. Sigh!"
As he said this, he sighed.
Tian Cai comforted him with a few words, and the two chatted about other things.
"Who did Miss Tian learn medicine from?" Old Master Jiang asked suddenly.
"With my mother," Tian Cai had said this reason so many times he knew it by heart, believing it to be true. "My grandfather was a village doctor, very skilled. During the famine, we fled with the villagers, but he died before we even reached Liao Province. The villagers coveted the property he left behind and wanted to harm us. My mother fled with me overnight and settled in the mountains. So everything I know was taught by my mother. After she passed away, I came to the village."
"Then your mother must be a very remarkable person." Old Master Jiang sighed. Seeing that she didn't mention her father, he didn't ask any more questions.
By the afternoon, all the medicinal powders were ready, and Tian Cai began to prepare the powders in front of Mr. Jiang, explaining the key points while doing it.
"This preparation method is quite good," said Old Master Jiang. He watched Tian Cai melt the rosin, remove the clarified portion, let it cool, stir-fry it over low heat, and grind it into a fine powder. It was slightly different from their family's previous preparation method, but after careful consideration, he realized the beauty of it. "It's a bit like the Bian family's method."
"Bian family? Which Bian family?" Tian Cai was a little surprised. She had seen this technique in the Cai family's medical book, and then used it on wound medicine. Sure enough, the effect was slightly improved. But why did Mr. Jiang say that it was the Bian family's technique?
Old Master Jiang nodded. "The Bian family is a famous medical family. It's said that medicine and medicine are inseparable, but the Bian family is different. Their ancestors have been dealing in medicinal herbs. It is said that the Bian family has an ancestral precept that they don't practice medicine, but only sell medicine."
Although his last name wasn't Cai, Tian Cai still asked a few more questions, "Where is the Bian family's pharmacy?"
Old Master Jiang was startled, but then he realized that this wasn't in Jing City, and those people weren't around. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "They're gone a long time ago. Ever since the chaos started over there, they moved their whole family to Gangcheng, taking several of their good friends with them."
After saying this, Old Master Jiang couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't blame anyone else for his family's current situation. He only blamed himself for not having the courage at the beginning. He felt that so many people were crowding into Hong Kong City, and a small family like his would have no way to survive there. If he stayed in the country, he might be able to have a good future.
Until now, it’s better not to talk about it.
