I handed over the system in a hurry

Chapter 78: The Doctor's Kindness (5)

Now that he recognized his grandfather, this family became the home shared by both grandfather and grandson. Sancho performed his duties as a family member that day, and the first thing he got involved in was cooking.

"Grandpa! Does our family have a lot of money? Are you so willing to buy rice?!"

Sancho pulled the rice bag hard and confronted Shen Quan.

Shen Quan was also confused for a while. How come he only agreed to let the girl stay in the morning and then started taking care of things on the stove at noon?

Before Shen Quan came to his senses, Sancho pushed Shen Quan out of the kitchen house.

"You go out and sit down for a while. I'll leave today's lunch to me, and I'll let you see my craftsmanship."

Without warning, Shen Quan was actually pushed out by Sancho. When he turned back, the door of the kitchen room had been slammed shut.

Shen Quan touched his nose, laughed after a moment, and muttered: "The little girl is very familiar with her."

After muttering, Shen Quan slammed the door: "You're injured and it's not easy to worry about. When you get tired, you will ask the old man to find medicine for you."

While lighting the stove fire, Sancho replied loudly: "I'm much better now. It's just a lunch. I'm definitely not tired." Then he ignored Shen Quan's slapping and shouting and started cooking on his own.

After waiting for half an hour, Sancho finally opened the door and came out with two dishes.

When Shen Quan saw this, he hurried up to take it. The aroma of the vegetables on the plate hit his face, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"The food you cook is really delicious."

He was not good at cooking, so he usually just dealt with it and ate hastily to fill his stomach. But when he was young, he also went out to restaurants and ate good food.

The food this girl cooks actually smells better than the food in the restaurant.

When it came into his mouth, Shen Quan was even more surprised. Not only did it smell fragrant, but it also tasted delicious.

Seeing that Shen Quan was eating happily, Sancho said proudly: "Is it delicious? From now on, you can leave all the cooking to me. I guarantee that you will be so happy every time you eat."

After hearing this, Shen Quan groaned twice and agreed to Sancho's request.

Since what this girl cooks is delicious, let her cook it herself, so as not to dislike his craftsmanship in the future.

After thinking about it, Shen Quan took out a handful of copper coins from his lapel and threw it to Sancho, "Go and buy what you want to eat. Your injury is not healed yet, so don't let yourself suffer."

Sancho did not refuse, took the copper coins and counted them, there were fifty-eight.

Due to Emperor Li Zong's extravagant debauchery, the overall price is now relatively expensive. Low-grade grain alone costs six cents per catty, and pork is as high as eighteen cents per catty.

So these fifty-eight coins were definitely a huge sum of money, but the old man threw it to her without even thinking about it.

Putting the money into his arms, Sancho raised his head and said, "Grandpa, how much money do we have in our family? You can tell me the bottom line."

Seeing how lavish her new grandpa was, she really thought that the old man was actually a hidden tycoon.

Shen Quan paused while eating, hey, this girl actually asked about his family background!

After a moment of silence, Shen Quan put down his bowls and chopsticks and went into his room. After a while, he came out carrying a small box.

"All the family assets are here. Since you want to take care of the house, you can take care of it from now on."

He is not stupid, he is in charge of the stove, and he is asking about his family background. He just wants to manage the house.

As for whether the little girl would run away with his coffin, he still had a good eye for this.

This girl's eyes are clean.

Sancho covered his mouth and smiled, and said rudely: "Ahem, since you said so, grandpa, then I will do my part. Don't worry, my housekeeper is very powerful, and I will never starve you or leave you cold.

"

After saying this, Sancho opened the box and counted the money in it.

Counting over and over again, Sancho's heart gradually grew cold.

There were a total of sixteen taels of silver in the box. According to the current world, one tael of silver would only be enough for a poor family for half a year, and sixteen taels of silver would be enough for the grandfather and grandson to live for eight years.

But this is under the condition of being frugal and without any surprises.

With Emperor Li Zong's debauchery, she really couldn't tell which would come first, tomorrow or the accident.

She had to find a way to make money. Although the old man could barely make an income as a widower, she heard him say two days ago that the monthly money from the county government was getting less and less.

Can it be a lot? What is true is what goes up and down the line. Emperor Zizong at the top is extravagant and lustful. How can we expect the county magistrate to be incorruptible?

And now that turmoil is rife all over the country, it's not certain how long this work can last.

The achievement she wants to highlight is the kindness of doctors. How about she go to a medical clinic and find an old doctor to study medicine with her?

But which old doctor would accept a female apprentice?

Sancho began to have a headache.

By the way, speaking of which, the old man himself actually knows quite a bit about medical science, so it’s not normal to not understand medical science.

"Grandpa, please teach me how to read and recognize herbs tomorrow." Sancho put away the money in the box and said abruptly.

The first step for a doctor to be benevolent is to learn to read and recognize herbal medicines.

"What do you use herbal medicine for?" Shen Quan asked while devouring it.

He can understand if he can read, but what is the purpose of knowing herbal medicine?

"Is it better to learn a skill? The world is in chaos, so it is always good to learn more."

The reason Sancho said was very tenable, so Shen Quan had no doubts and just nodded: "I will teach you after the meal is served."

In the past, he had to go to the Yamen to sit in the Yamen for his job. Now, there are more murder cases than before, but few of them go to the Yamen. His job does not need to go to the Yamen anymore. He only needs it in the Yamen.

He called him over.

So he had more time to teach the little girl how to read and recognize herbs. It was a piece of cake.

Speaking of which, he has been calling her "girly girl" for so long and still doesn't know her name.

Thinking of this, Shen Quan quickly asked Sancho: "Girl, do you have a name?"

Sancho smiled: "Yes, my name is Sancho, the mulberry of the mulberry tree, and the Joe of the tree."

The original owner had no name, so now that she is here, she is still called Sancho.

Shen Quan nodded in agreement, this is a good name.

After knowing Sancho's name, Shen Quan no longer called her Yatou, but instead called her Qiao Yatou.

"Girl Qiao, come and see, this is plantain. It has the effects of clearing away heat and diuresis, relieving stranguria and phlegm, cooling blood and detoxifying." Shen Quan pointed to a weed in the corner of the yard and said.

If you want to know herbal medicine, you naturally have to recognize the most common herbs in life.

The corner of Sancho's mouth twitched slightly: "Grandpa, I still know these plantains."

Even poor people who have no medical knowledge or literacy are familiar with plantain, a plant that can be used both as medicine and for cooking.

Shen Quan: "You know plantain, but do you know how to prepare plantain?"

This was something Sancho didn't know. "Just... dry it in the sun?" Sancho guessed wildly.

She had only eaten plantain stir-fried in hot oil.
