The skilled healer, Zhu, looked at Jiang Yuwei with some surprise, and then said:
"Then lower the curtain, take off her clothes, and I'll tell you to give her acupuncture while you observe her condition from inside."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:
"Can."
After saying that, the skilled healer Zhu pushed the curtain outside. Jiang Yuwei lowered the curtain and carefully took off Ning Daya's clothes. Looking at the shocking wounds on her body, Jiang Yuwei's nose suddenly tingled. This Daya really is a silly girl. She didn't even care about saving her own life.
With tears in her eyes, Jiang Yuwei smiled and tucked a few strands of hair from Ning Daya's forehead behind her ear, whispering:
"Da Ya, don't worry, I will definitely save you."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei called out to the skilled healer Zhu outside:
"I'm ready, let's begin!"
The skilled healer Zhu said in a deep voice:
"Insert one inch straight at Yinbai, 0.8 inches at Baihui, and one needle at each of the left and right Neiguan..."
While the skilled healer Zhu spoke outside, Jiang Yuwei inside followed his rhythm and instructions to perform acupuncture on Ning Daya. After finally finishing the acupuncture, the skilled healer Zhu said again:
"You massage her hands and feet first, and she'll wake up soon. I'll prescribe a formula to nourish her blood and promote blood circulation. You can ask that big, clumsy guy outside to get the medicine for her. You stay here with her for the next few days; I need to observe her for a while longer."
Jiang Yuwei nodded hurriedly in agreement.
After the skilled healer Zhu finished writing the prescription and Jiang Yuwei finished massaging Ning Daya, she handed the prescription and money to Tie Zhu.
"Tiezhu, take the prescription to that clinic and get the medicine for Daya. Also, take Ningqiu back to the inn to rest. I'll stay with Daya at Miaoshou Zhu's for the next few days. I'll stay with Daya. Tell your brother Huaizhi not to worry about us."
Tie Zhu took the prescription and, not daring to delay, quickly called Ning Qiu and drove the oxcart to the clinic.
Seeing that Tie Zhu had left, Jiang Yuwei returned to her room and looked at the skilled healer Zhu, saying:
"Thank you so much for helping us today, otherwise my friend would probably be..."
The skilled healer, Zhu, waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and prepare dinner. I'm getting a little hungry."
Jiang Yuwei was speechless. Hadn't they just finished eating? How could she be hungry so soon? Jiang Yuwei thought that it was already good enough that the person was willing to treat Ning Daya without charging medical fees. She should take good care of the old man in the next few days.
So he smiled and said:
What would you like to eat tonight?
The skilled healer, Zhu, glanced impatiently at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Can you get me anything I want to eat? I want to eat dragon meat from heaven, go and get it for me!"
Jiang Yuwei was speechless after hearing this.
Master Zhu picked up the teacup on the table, gulped it down, and said irritably:
"Stop loitering around me and go cook. I'll eat whatever you make, but if it's not good, I won't eat a single bite."
Jiang Yuwei nodded helplessly, then went to the kitchen. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly took out some vegetables, lotus root, fish, and pork from her space.
The reason Jiang Yuwei made the pounded pepper and preserved egg dish at noon was because she saw all kinds of peppers drying in the yard of the master chef Zhu, and thought that he must be an old man who could eat spicy food. That's why Jiang Yuwei chose to make that dish.
Right now, I have to stay at his house for three days and make different dishes every day, which is really a bit difficult. Today is the first day, so I'll make a few different kinds of dishes to find out what this Master Zhu likes.
As Jiang Yuwei thought about it, she took out a lotus root, washed and peeled it, cut it into sections, stuffed the soaked glutinous rice into the holes of the lotus root, put it in a pot with brown sugar and water to steam.
Then, she took out pork tenderloin, sliced it into strips, and marinated it with seasonings such as scallions, ginger, and garlic. Jiang Yuwei then took out the tofu skin she had made earlier from her space, scalded it with boiling water, cut it into squares, and also sliced some scallions and cucumbers for later use.
Then, take the marinated shredded meat out of the pot and stir-fry it. Pour in the fermented soybean paste that you made earlier, add sugar, sesame oil and water to make a paste, stir-fry for a while and it's ready to serve.
Jiang Yuwei piled the shredded pork into a small mountain shape, and then placed the prepared tofu skin, shredded green onions, and shredded cucumber on the plate. This completed the dish of shredded pork with sweet bean sauce.
Jiang Yuwei cleaned the fish again. This time, she made spicy boiled fish as usual. After all, she only sold her recipe for boiled fish to Manager Xu in Ping'an Town. Ninghe Town definitely didn't have this dish. Moreover, the old man also loved spicy food, so she had to prepare a spicy dish for him!
Jiang Yuwei then washed and peeled all the potatoes she had taken out of her space, cut them into strips, and then heated oil in a wok. She fried the potatoes twice until they were cooked through. Then she mixed them with salt, light soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, chopped green onions, cilantro, and pepper. Jiang Yuwei was worried that the old man wouldn't like it, so she added some small red chilies for him.
Mix all these ingredients into the fried potato strips and stir well. A delicious dish of wolf tooth potatoes is ready!
After finishing all that, Jiang Yuwei stir-fried a simple dish of bok choy. Even if the skilled cook Zhu didn't like it, at least she had this ordinary bok choy to fall back on.
Jiang Yuwei spent quite a while preparing all the food by herself. She took off her apron, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and carried the dishes out of the house. Just as she entered the courtyard, she saw Tie Zhu hurriedly driving the oxcart with herbs and Ning Huaizhi.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly put down the groceries she was holding and went to help Ning Huaizhi push his wheelchair.
"Huaizhi, why did you come along? You can just stay here and take good care of Ning Zhao and Ning Wan."
Tie Zhu turned around and glanced at Ning Huaizhi, saying:
"Um, Sister Yuwei, Brother Huaizhi is worried about you and said he wants to come and live with you. Don't worry about Ning Zhao and Ning Wan, Liu Shi is taking care of them."
Ning Huaizhi glared at Tie Zhu for being too talkative, and Tie Zhu could only scratch his head sheepishly and go to brew the herbal medicine for Ning Daya.
The skilled healer Zhu, who was sitting in a recliner, glanced at Ning Huaizhi with half-open eyes, and then spoke calmly:
"Is this the husband you gave him acupuncture?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly nodded and said:
"Yes, Dr. Zhu, we are really sorry, we may be staying at your little courtyard for a few days. Don't worry about the food, we will cover it all. We will also pay you for the room at the inn's rate."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhu frowned and said:
"One after another, they all want to stay in my courtyard. There's no room at all. I'm so annoyed. Forget about room fees. This isn't an inn. If the food you make isn't good, then take the girl in your room and leave my house tonight!"
