The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 384

[Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth meeting old friends]

“It’s not easy for people who are out of town. Let Aunt Yan come over and squeeze with us, Yinmei lives with the brothers, and make two rooms for them!” In such weather, it would be a real shame to return to the ship, Gu Ye I have lingering fears. Being convenient with others means being convenient with yourself, Gu Ye ordered it to continue.

Aunt Yan took her own special seasoning box and brought it over with a small burden. As soon as the things were put away, she went to the kitchen again – Gu Ye’s diet, she has always been in the hands of others, trying to get the girl to eat more has become the goal of Yan Yan’s efforts. The girl has lost weight again, this is not what a competent cook wants to see! The weather is cooler today, I hope the girl can eat more.

“Aunt Yan, do you want to eat braised pork at noon? I’m hungry for meat!” Gu Ye’s words lifted Aunt Yan’s spirits. The girl finally has what she wants to eat. Although it is very greasy to eat braised pork in summer, she must satisfy the girl’s request!

Gu Ye, who was sitting by the window bored and waiting for the meat, touched the little black cat that was rubbing against her arm, and pinched its little fleshy paws – the last time the little guy was trying to save her, the peeled nails grew out, and the little fleshy pads The wound has already healed, and the hand feels very good when holding the soft flesh.

Gu Ye brought the little black cat’s two small paws to him, and pointed at its little nose: “Is Xiaomo also greedy for meat? Did you do the missing ingredients in the ice cellar on the ship? A cat can act like a rat!”

“Ow—” the little black cat protested—this beast is a leopard, not related to cats. Besides, every meal it feeds is just a little bit, not enough for it to stick its teeth between its teeth. If it doesn’t find something to eat on its own, it will be strange if it doesn’t starve to death! On the boat, it eats most of the fish it hates the most. Those people in the kitchen always tease it with fish. It’s ridiculous. Whoever likes to eat fish will be disdainful of this beast!

“How about giving you fish soup and rice at noon? A big pot!” Gu Ye teased it deliberately. When they were on the boat, those boatmen and sailors saw that the little black cat was petite, cute and arrogant. Some enthusiastic boatmen would help her to feed the little black cat every day, all of them – fish soup with rice, and there are large pieces of fish in it! It’s a pity that this uncle cat has always turned his head and left, and would rather starve to death than eat fish-related things!

I heard Brother Chen say that when this black panther was a child, it was picked up from the mountains by the servants of Zhuangzi and fed it as a cat. It is estimated that eating fish hurt when I was a child!

Sure enough, when the little guy heard the fish soup soaked in rice, he immediately collapsed in her palm and pretended to be dead. Feed it a few more days of fish soup and rice, it will really starve to death! The ruthless mistress deliberately left it in the middle of fire and water. Xiao Hei Miao glared at Gu Ye sadly.

“Yo! It’s my fault! When this girl has a bad appetite, whose stomach did Aunt Yan make the desserts?” Gu Ye pinched the little conscientious ear.

“Ow—” The little black cat and the little paw pointed to the full moon with a smile and looked at them.

Yueyuan didn’t expect that she would be shot while lying down, she smirked and said: “Girl, this cat is really smart, and she actually knows how to put the blame on others. Those snacks of yours, except for the ones you said were given to slaves and servants. , the rest went into this cat’s belly. Sometimes it will also come to snatch the slaves who are rewarded. You don’t know, this guy is very agile, he will run away when he grabs it, he is like a living bandit!

” A look of contempt from her: You are not as skilled as others, do you blame me?

Just as the eyes of a cat and a maid were entangled, the voice of Qingfeng came from outside: “Girl, the old man asked you to go to his room, saying it was an old friend visiting!”

“An old man? On this small dock, where is the old man from? ?” Gu Ye put on his robe again under the service of the full moon, with an oil-paper umbrella on top of his head, and walked quickly towards grandpa’s room with small steps.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard my grandfather chatting with people very warmly, and the content was about cowpox vaccination. The other party’s voice was indeed somewhat familiar. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Mr. Xue, who had just been cured of tuberculosis.

“Father, you are not at home to support your health, why do you travel all the way to the capital? Could it be that… the county magistrate who went to the capital to report his work, is you?” In his sixtieth year, he was only a small magistrate, and Mr. Xue didn’t do well. Well! However, in this era, there is no age limit for scientific examinations, and it is not uncommon for those who are still taking the imperial examinations at the age of 70.

Mr. Xue seemed to see through Gu Ye’s thoughts, and he laughed and said: “There is a magistrate Xue here, but unfortunately it’s not the old man!” Gu Ye followed the old man’s gaze, and it turned out that it was the old man’s son Xue Jiahe who was going back to Beijing to report his work. what!

“The old friend of the old man who has been around for decades will have his birthday in October, and the old man will take the opportunity of his son’s debriefing to go to the capital to celebrate the old friend. Don’t worry, I am in good health now. I will take all the potions you gave me with me , drink it on time every day! It’s the girl, how come you look like you are seriously ill, and you are as thin as a radish?” Old Master Xue looked at her in surprise and asked with concern.

Gu Ye met with Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue, and smiled at their son and daughter. Wen Yan sighed, with a bitter little face: “Ku Xia, doesn’t it feel like a serious illness? It’s raining today, and the weather is cooler, otherwise, what you see, old man, is a shriveled man. I’ve lost my mind!”

“Why does this unlucky girl have such a problem?” Hearing that it was a bitter summer, Mr. Xue did not do the same.

On the other hand, his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Huang, said, “My mother-in-law’s sister also has this problem. Later, a mother-in-law in the family offered a method, which was quite effective. Why don’t you try it as a girl?”

Yue Yuan was overjoyed when she heard it. , asked repeatedly: “What method?”

It turned out that the Xue family aunt was talking about the method of pulling Sha. In summer, due to physical reasons, the anger in the body cannot be released, and it is blocked in the meridians, which will cause symptoms such as fever, upset, anorexia, fatigue, and chest tightness. By pulling out the sha, the symptoms will be relieved very quickly. It’s a pity that the method of pulling Sha in later generations has been lost!

“Mrs. Xue, can you teach me this method? Our girls have these symptoms every summer. After raising the fat for half a year, all of them have lost weight. The servants look worried!” Yue Yuan’s eyes showed hope. .

Huang Shi said with a smile: “It’s a native method of the country people, and I’m worried that Miss Gu will dislike it! Since the girl wants to learn, I will definitely teach it!”
