Chapter 194: Medical Skills
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked around the street, said hello to their neighbors and then walked back.
Aunt Liu stopped them as they walked over: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Lan, you have guests again. Do you have enough firewood?"
"Aunt Liu, there is enough firewood."
Shi Zelan answered Aunt Liu happily, and she and Shi Xiaoliu stopped to talk to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu asked curiously, "Are the new guests staying at your house too?"
After Shi Xiaoliu nodded, Aunt Liu asked in surprise, "Will there be any guests coming to your house?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, and Shi Zelan smiled and said, "We'll send the letter home. We don't know if anyone will come to the capital next year."
"Have you two lost weight?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan shook their heads at the same time: "No, we just grew a little taller."
Shi Xiaoliu was actually surprised that he could still grow taller, so he showed great happiness.
Aunt Liu looked up at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu has grown a bit taller."
She lowered her head and looked at Shi Zelan: "Xiao Liu is so tall, Xiao Lan will not be short in the future."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked home, and Shi Zelan whispered, "Xiaoliu, I don't think I'm short."
"You are not short, you will grow taller. Do you want to eat some meat to grow taller?"
Shi Zelan immediately shook her head: "No, I don't like meat dishes."
The two of them entered the yard and went straight to the kitchen to boil water. Shi Zelan also baked a few eggs.
Shi Xiaoliu thought about it and cooked another sweet soup for Shi Zelan.
Shi Zelan frowned and said, "Xiao Liu, you put too much sugar in it. It will be a bit greasy."
After the sweet soup was cooked, Shi Xiaoliu placed it directly in front of Shi Zelan: "Drink it, and you will grow taller in the future."
Shi Zelan laughed when she heard his words, and was moved by his kindness. She picked up the bowl and started drinking.
"It's delicious. Xiaoliu is now a great chef."
"Not bored anymore?"
"The taste is just right, it would be a little sweeter."
After Shi Zelan finished drinking the sweet soup, she and Shi Xiaoliu ate roasted eggs. They turned off the stove and were about to leave the kitchen when Wanyu came over.
Her nose twitched: "What delicious food did you eat?"
"A bowl of sweet soup and baked eggs."
Shi Zelan replied with a smile, and Wanyu said disdainfully: "Why do you like to eat these things? I think spiritual flowers are more delicious."
Shi Xiaoliu listened to Wanyu's words and looked up at her. At that moment, the light from Wanyu's body suddenly dimmed.
He looked at Wanyu carefully and said, "It's fine as long as we like to eat it. There are no spiritual flowers."
The two of them quickly left the kitchen. Wanyu stomped her feet heavily behind them and snorted coldly, "Stingy."
When Shi Zelan heard Wanyu's words, she looked at Shi Xiaoliu's expression and said curiously, "Your attitude towards Wanyu has changed."
"Nothing has changed. You are just being overly suspicious."
Shi Xiaoliu replied to Shi Zelan and looked at her and smiled. No wonder Shi Zelan always said that it was not easy to get along with others for a long time.
Shi Zelan reached out and touched her face: "Xiao Liu, is there dust on my face?"
Shi Xiaoliu said seriously: "You wiped off the dust."
Shi Zelan wiped his face again and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "I'm going to meditate in my room. See you tomorrow."
Shi Zelan returned to his room, and Shi Xiaoliu went over to close the yard door. When he was about to go back to his room, Wanyu called him.
"Xiao Liu, do you have any baked eggs left?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "No, eggs are better when they are freshly baked."
After Shi Xiaoliu finished speaking, he walked towards the room. Wanyu looked at him in surprise and forgot what she was going to say for a moment.
Shi Xiaoliu's door was closed. Wanyu was stunned: "This time he didn't take the initiative to ask me if I wanted to eat freshly baked eggs."
Wanyu ran to Shi Zelan's door and reached out to push it, but was blocked by an invisible force.
Wanyu went to the backyard and looked at Master Qijun who was sitting in the yard. She went over and whispered, "Master, how long will we stay in the capital?
Why don't we stay at an inn? ”
“After the New Year, we went to Jiangnan.
Don’t you want to come and stay with Shi Zelan for a few days? ”
Master Qijun naturally knew that Wanyu was borrowing Shi Zelan's name, and her original intention was to have a chance to spend more time with Xia Yu.
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked out of the yard and headed south. They felt the joy of the people passing by on the street.
"Old Zhang, are you going to stop working today?"
"No, the boss said that he would be busy for the next few days, so he would let us rest for a few more days."
"Your boss is kind, I won't bother you anymore."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked in the crowd, listening to people walking around and talking to each other about their plans for the New Year.
They followed the flow of people to the teahouse. They entered the teahouse and sat in the hall. They felt that there were not many people sitting in the hall.
The waiter came over to serve them tea. Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "There aren't many people here today."
“It’s the New Year, and fewer people come to the teahouse to drink tea.
Would you like to sit at a table near the storyteller? There are not many people here today, so there will be no extra charge for tea at that table. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan immediately changed seats. After the storyteller came on stage, they found that their seats were indeed good and they could clearly see the storyteller's excited expression.
After refilling the tea, Shi Xiaoliu asked the waiter to bring two pots of boiled beans.
The brother and sister listened to the storytelling, ate some boiled beans, and then left the teahouse.
Standing on the street and seeing the smiles on people's faces, Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Life like this is really refreshing."
Shi Zelan agreed: "Xiao Liu, it's still early, let's take a walk on the street."
They passed by clothing stores, saw bakeries, and saw children begging on street corners.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went into the bakery, bought two packs of vegetarian cakes and gave them to the beggar boy.
They continued walking forward until they reached a less crowded place. Shi Xiaoliu sighed, "There are also pitiful people in the capital."
Shi Zelan understood what Shi Xiaoliu meant. There are places where the sun cannot reach.
They walked into a bookstore on the street and saw people reading books in the bookstore. Some were reading in gorgeous clothes, while others were reading in coarse cloth clothes.
Shi Xiaoliu saw a pile of books in the corner of the bookstore. He walked over, picked up a book and started reading.
A scholar passed by him and whispered to him, "Little brother, you can't read this kind of book too deeply. It will waste your precious time."
Shi Xiaoliu put down the book. He thanked the scholar: "Thank you for the reminder, brother."
Shi Zelan picked up two books and whispered to Shi Xiaoliu, "These two books are interesting."
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head at her. The two of them bought books and purchased pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and then they went home.
On the way, Shi Xiaoliu said the scholar's advice: "Such scholars will surely be able to protect the peace of the area when they become officials in the future."
Shi Zelan looked at the expression on Shi Xiaoliu's face and said with emotion: "Xiaoliu, if you didn't practice cultivation, but studied hard, you would also be able to take on the responsibility of protecting a place."
Shi Xiaoliu thought about it carefully and said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, I'm probably still willing to study medicine with all my heart."
