No Worries about Food and Medicine

Summer night is long, insects are blowing, the bright silver moon is hanging on the top of the forest, the fragrant fragrance of green bamboo is fumigated in the gentle breeze, and the slight rain cotton thread falls on the shoulder of the person, bringing an extra trace of coolness.

Old and young crept through the bamboo forest, the old one carrying the old bow made by the handle, and the small one was holding a net, and the two walked and brushed the grass on both sides. The young man yawned for a long time, rubbing his eyes and said: "Dad, let's go back, so late I think I can't hit anything."

The old Orion insisted: "Your mother is just sick, and you want to eat such a game, and so on."

The little Orion, with her sleepy eyes open, mumbled: "In the middle of the night, the game is also asleep ..."

As he was saying, suddenly a dark shadow ran across the forest, followed by three or four dark shadows, and the grass cluttered, and the Orion's eyes lit up, holding his son's shoulder and calling him Extinguished the sound, then copied out the bow and arrow, and looked at the black shadow-"Basic" got a sound, one arrow went out, only heard a few screams, it was actually hit!

The kid hurried to pick it up, and the old Orion bowed again, shooting three or four times in a row, without any false hair.

"Dad! It's an oxtail!" The young boy shouted with excitement after changing his pretentious attitude. "This girl is so blessed!"

The Orion also picked up a few others, which were actually a litter of ox-beavers, and could not help but wonder: "This ox-beaver is keen in nature and can only be caught when the snowy days come out for food. How come this summer ran out so much only?"

Little Orion picked up a few dead ox-tails and threw them into his pocket, his face smiled: "Why don't you go! Go back! This is a rare good. Kill two of them today, tomorrow I burned it to make up for the mother. I heard that the gate of Chunan City was opened. Let ’s go to the morning market, find a restaurant, sell the remaining ones, and sell a lot of money. Niang pulls a new piece of cloth, and I look at her clothes with many patches ... "

"No, no ..." The old Orion went back and wondered, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

The young man thought he was verbose: "Oh, what a demon, don't think about it!"

Early the next morning, the old hunter was called by his son, carrying three oxtails to the morning market in Chunancheng, and pulling a few feet of new cloth. This ox **** is the most fresh and delicious. If it dies long, the skin smells bad, but no one wants it, and they are all rough people in this village. Since they do not realize the benefits of ox beaver, If you want to sell a good price, you have to go to a big city like Chunan and sell it to the wealthy and wealthy.

Hurrying to the donkey cart borrowed from Lizheng ’s house, he walked all the way to think of how suddenly there were so many ox-tailed raccoons in the summer months, and he was fascinated for a while and almost went the wrong way. When the donkey car entered Chunan, it still missed the morning market.

I heard that Chunan had closed the city because of the epidemic. Today, I do n’t see any signs of depression. The shops are all opening with a lively ribbon, and the second boy is also happily coming out to attract guests. Many shops are hanging up. The colorful silk, which implies auspiciousness, is only faintly lingering in the city.

The old Orion went all the way and thought that it was okay to miss the morning market, so I went to the Baihua Building that I used to travel to. The boss Liu of the Baihua Building was a decent businessman. He was very kind to these game furs and the like. Knowing goods, never fooling him. Thinking about it, he familiarly carried the basket to the Baihua Building in front of the door, but somehow found that the aroma of the wine in front of the building was no longer there, but instead the smell of medicine was bursting, and several young brothers in white coats looked in and out seriously.

A few steps back in confusion, he looked up at Sanyu Building.

He was busy catching a passerby and asked, "Ask, brother, this Baihualou ...?"

The passer-by waved his hand: "Where else is the Baihua Tower? It's closed for a long time! Now it's a family hospital. The epidemic in our city can see improvement, but thanks to the little doctor in these three buildings! Little **** doctors are kind-hearted, young and promising, they are really medicine immortals! "

The old Orion listened dumbfounded: "... medicine, medical hall?"

On that day, Yu Jinnian and Chen Yuyi in the building agreed on the direction of the next epidemic treatment. Although the order of closure of the city has been revoked, there are still many major epidemic patients in the hospitals in the city. The epidemic treatment should not be taken lightly to prevent the epidemic situation from countering. It's just that the medical doctors have been in Chunan for more than a month, and it is impossible to stay for a long time. The finishing work afterwards still has to rely on Chunan's local government medical offices and private doctors.

However, the methods and precautions have been taught to them, and it will not be harder than before.

After discussing miscellaneous things, a patient who thought it was a major epidemic was sent underneath. He had a constant mouth, pain in his abdomen, and chills in his limbs, but he could not spit out the evil mouth. It was urgent to watch.

Yu Jinnian checked the disease and found it was hangup, commonly known as dry cholera, but it was not the same kind of disease as cholera, but it was a gastrointestinal disorder that caused dampness and cold to fight the stomach and intestines. He did not panic, and asked the cook to fry two or two hot salt, boiled with hot water, let people irrigate.

Because this thick salt is extremely bitter and salty, it is very human tolerable. After drinking it for a while, I saw the patient's brow furrowed and wowed out the contents of his stomach in a hurry. Yu Jinnian hit the iron while it was hot, and asked people to pour two bowls and vomit with a chopstick. In a short time, the patient vomited two or three times. The original cold face also had to turn around, even the pain in the abdomen was much better.

Afterwards, he prescribed several soups for subsequent conditioning and instructed the patient to grab the medicine and go home to take it for decoction. The patient was carried by the family when he came, thanked again and again when he left, and left on his own.

You Qingbai said strangely: "The medicine is useless, it's fine!"

Yu Jinnian rationalized his clothes and was embarrassed to say: "The vomiting and diarrhea of ​​the intestinal crusting are unreasonable. I just use the vomiting method. I just used some tricks."

You Qingbai also asked carefully about temptation, but Yu Jinnian was about to approach lunchtime. She was worried that she would go back to cook for a family, and she waved her hand and said it next time. As soon as I went out, I saw the old Orion wandering in front of the building.

Yu Jinnian thought he was coming to see a doctor, so he greeted: "Old man, do you see a doctor or prescribe medicine?"

The old Orion urged: "I, I don't look at the disease ..."

Yu Jinnian looked at his clothes and understood: "Master, the original restaurant was taken down by the kid. If you are looking for boss Liu's family, they may have moved to the north of the city."

"I don't want to find anyone." The old hunter saw that he was also clothed with satin, so he took the basket from his back, lifted the hood over, and gathered around Yu Jinnian, "Little boss, I'm a game hunter, Last night, I played a few new oxtails. Look at the little boss. Would you like to buy it back and try it for the family? "

"Cowtail raccoon?" Yu Jinnian was amazed, and he turned his head around curiously to see. He used to eat the light of a friend, and had eaten a farmed raccoon once. The taste was very delicious, but the price was a little expensive, and then he did I have eaten it, but I didn't expect to see it here. He glanced down at the Orion's basket, and indeed he saw a few flower-faced raccoons that had been cleaned.

However, this ox-tailed raccoon eats more and moves less during the winter season, and is especially fat. It is delicious only since the snow moon. There is also a famous dish called "Xuetian ox-tailed raccoon dog". Too.

The old hunter also guessed Yu Jinnian's thoughts, and told him about the cause and effect before and after last night's hunting. Yu Jinnian couldn't help but sigh: "This is an adventure." He said that he was destined, but he was also greedy. This ox-tailed raccoon's delicacy, and heard that he was going to use the money to sell raccoons to the family, so he made the decision to buy all the ox-tailed raccoons in his basket and prepared to take it back to open it to everyone.

The old hunter used the rope to string the ox-tailed civet into a string and handed it to Yu Jinnian to carry it in his hand. Then he took the money and left with joy.

This ox-tailed raccoon is known as "the head of the mountain treasure", and its beauty is "comparable to fat and fat". Yu Jinnian happily returned to the small courtyard, shouting that the kitchen lady helped to remove the raccoon's hair, and then went to the street. I bought some mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots. When I came back, I saw that the cook was slowly burning the tiny bristles with a small fire.

He cut green onions and minced **** in the kitchen. Master Jiang Xiaoshi and Shi Xing returned from the courtyard. The two were really friends. When they didn't meet, they thought of going to you and I. When they met, they clamored and clamored. Entering the kitchen, Master Jiang Xiao shouted: "Nian Ge, you come to judge! I say this rabbit meat is cold, the chicken is hot, this sultry day should make some rabbit meat to eat, he must buy pheasant ! "

Shi Xing was not willing to show his weakness: "The youngest son is also recovering from a serious illness. What's wrong with drinking chicken soup to make up the body? Look at you. It's not been a few days since you recognized the medicine, and you will be a gentleman!"

"Okay, okay, don't eat rabbits tonight, and taste chickens tomorrow." Yu Jinnian was swollen by the two of them arguing, and came out to see, good fellow, the two had a chicken in their left hand and a duck in their right hand, and Master Jiang's hand Also carrying two fat hares.

"What's the matter, buy so many back?"

Shi Xing said: "I don't know what happened in these two days. There are many more games in the market. Every household can take out a few games, so that the pork shop next door has no business, it is almost as cheap as mud. .. I asked Yaer and they said that they ran out in the middle of the night and bumped into people ’s houses and made a lot of noise! ​​”

Yu Jinnian strangely said: "It is reasonable to say that after the great floods, the wild animals in the mountains ran away in panic. Why did so much time come out?" He pointed to the ox-tailed raccoon on the ground. The Orion sold it to me. "

The kitchen lady who was cleaning the internal organs of the ox **** said naggingly: "The older generation said that these wild things are spiritual, and when the wild things go down the mountain, that is to drop the vision."

Naturally, Yu Jinnian did not believe these gods, ghosts and ghosts, and turned back to the kitchen. The kitchen lady grabbed an eerie story filled by the young Master Jiang Xiao, who told the ear, and only listened to the kitchen lady "Ah" The ground yelled and scared Jiang Bingren slapped on the ground, subconsciously reaching for Shi Xing's clothes.

Shi Xing touched his head and said, "No fear, no fear."

The kitchen lady took a slap, picked something from the guts' guts, and suddenly pulled out something. The **** palm opened, and a pair of eyeball-like gadgets rolled in her palm.

"Ahhhhhh!" Jiang Bingren jumped with a sneering sound, hiding from Shi Xing even if he didn't dare to look at it. "Something, save your life!"

The kitchen lady washed the two round things in the water, cleaned and looked at the sun, and looked like stone, but there were some lines on it, cut horizontally and vertically, just like Tiancheng. She didn't read, so she handed things to Shi Xing to see: "Sister Ge, look, what is this above? But what word?"

Shi Xing took a look, his face changed suddenly, and quickly walked to the kitchen, and gave Yu Jinnian a glance at the stone.

Yu Jinnian put down the kitchen knife and looked at it, frowning: "Where did it come from?"

Shi Xing pointed to the bull-tailed raccoon that had been ripped open.

Yu Jinnian thought about it, and fixed his eyes on the hare and pheasant that Shi Xing had just returned to. Shi Xing suddenly, and his face also showed incredible colors. Too. Turn over the belly and stomach of these game-as expected, a few round stones with patterns were also cut out, and a pheasant's belly was heavily cut out of several longan stones.

"..." Yu Jinnian held a handful of stones in different shapes, thinking that if these game belly were filled with these things, it would be uncomfortable, of course, it would be howling in the middle of the night.

Shi Xing frowned, "Young Master, this ..."

Yu Jinnian said: "Which is this, let me chop up the cut oxtail first, otherwise I won't be able to eat in the morning!"

Shi Xing: "..."

Sending Shi Xing to chopp the meat, Yu Jinnian threw the stone into the waist pocket, and disassembled the disassembled oxtail with star anise, scallion ginger, and orange peel. Remove the blood and fry in the pan until the skin color is reddish.

Shi Xing saw that he was not sick, arrogant, or impetuous, but he really didn't put those stones in his heart, but now that such a big event happened, he could still cook wholeheartedly, but he didn't know that he should be wide-hearted. Okay, still calm down.

Yu Jinnian used a large bowl to lay the fried oxtail neatly along the side of the bowl, then put the mushrooms and shredded bamboo shoots in sequence, put them in the onion section, **** slices, and drizzle some yellow wine And autumn oil, finally sprinkle the right amount of salt and honey, then put it in the drawer to steam.

The ox-tailed raccoon eats fruit from the tree, the meat is sweet and fragrant, and the bite in the mouth is tenderer than pork and chicken, and the appropriate sweetness in taste can only complement the sweetness of the meat itself. Oxtail raccoon is often lined with crisp pears, and the deep winter wind pickling method is also blended with honey wine.

Yu Jinnian seasoned with honey this time, the same reason, the steamed oxtail oil has a red color, the meat is tender, fat and not greasy, and the aroma of mushroom shoots is added. After steaming, it is buckled in the plate, and the color is dripping, so it is called "red button ox-tailed raccoon dog".

Nowadays, the servant kitchen lady is counted in the courtyard, and it is said that there are also eight or nine people. Yu Jinnian quickly made stewed yam rabbit, chicken and mushroom soup, and specially made a few light side dishes for Ji Hong. After cooking, seeing that Ji Hong had n’t come back, Yu Jinnian ran to the gate of the courtyard and looked around. Xu had some rain last night. The air today is cooler than yesterday. In front of the steps opposite the mansion Three or four children played the game of throwing stones.

Yu Jinnian also played this game when he was young. He threw a handful of stones and picked it up with the back of his hand. He saw the children throwing small stones like the ones cut from the belly of the pheasant. Because they are round and more regular than the normal stones, they are very popular with children. Yu Jinnian couldn't help but look a few more times in the past. Originally it was just a look. Who knows how to look at it, he started to work, and actually picked up his clothes and sat on the floor, playing with them.

Shi Xing and others waited for a long time at the table, and they did not see Yu Jinnian coming back. They hurried out to find it, but they ran into the master who didn't know when to come back. Ji Hongchao compared to a gesture of forbidden sound, and then stood quietly on the back of Yu Jinnian, watching his fingers flexibly play several pieces of chicken belly stones, and won the chicken belly stones in the hands of several other children. Seven seven eight eight.

One of the children was unhappy and pouted: "Hey, your grownup told you to go home for dinner!"

"Wait, I will finish playing this." Yu Jinnian had to throw away a few stones and was about to pick them up, but when he saw a sleeve shadow, he took his stones off in the air, and he looked up. , I saw Ji Hong's profile with a slightly raised eyebrow.

Ji Hong turned a few stones in his hand and said, "It is indeed calling you home for dinner."

Yu Jinnian slapped his eyelashes and stood up, grinning: "Oh, you're back."

Ji Hong: "I'm not coming back, you're afraid you will play until you sleep and forget food."

A few children waited eagerly for their "adults" to be the masters, and returned them the stones that Yu Jinnian had won, but those few stones were saved by them. Who knew that the two men flicked their sleeves and went home one after another, laughing and talking. The children stared blankly at the closed courtyard door. Not long afterwards, they finally cried out in awkward cry.

Yu Jinnian and others finally sat at the dinner table. Fortunately, in summer, the dishes were slightly cooler and could be imported. During the banquet, Ji Hong was playing with the confined chicken belly stones, observing the lines on the stone, and had a more meaningful expression on his face. Yu Jinnian gave him a bowl of chicken and mushroom soup, sandwiched some of the fattest ox-tails in his bowl, and turned his eyes silently at the stone, ironically: "What time is it, there are still people playing The trick of Huming Yushu! "

Ji Hongqi said: "What is the Fox Fish Book?"

Yu Jinnian suddenly remembered that their historical track was different from what he knew. Xu had not yet used this allusion, so he adapted the story of "Da Chu Xing Chen Sheng Wang" a little, Hu Hu told him a version and said, : "Look at this chicken belly stone, isn't it exactly the same as the fish belly collection? It's just a way to confuse the people."

Ji Hong threw a few stones on the table and asked, "What do you mean by this stone, then?"

"Isn't this very simple." Yu Jinnian fiddled with one of them, and the cobblestone rolled slightly, revealing the deep stripes on the belly of the stone, and vaguely made up a few words, "Xia Yidao died-rice player, Wo Son too. This is clear, someone wants to mess with your family! "

A few people on the side of Shi Xingduan whispered privately in fear.

Ji Hong also listened to Yu Jinnian's vividly telling a few stories that seemed true and false. Instead of showing any uneasiness, he smiled: "I sometimes think that your master must not be as simple as a magician. If your master is still there , I am afraid that Min Xiang should abdicate and let Xian. "

Yu Jinnian's abdomen, that's not bad, my "Master" has been going up and down for five thousand years, arrogantly tens of thousands of miles at home and abroad, that is, 20 Min Xiang plus one can't compare!

Ji Hong simply used the meal, waved his hands, and irrelevant people went down, leaving only Duan Mingshixing a few confidants and Yu Jinnian in the room. Then he came to the point and said: "A few days ago, mountains appeared in various parts of the South. There are so many implied stones in the phenomenon of running around, and it is even found in the ashes of the eastern coastal areas and other places after the burning of the dead. Wherever this stone appears, the officials and the people are in an uproar. With this epidemic, they are all visions of heaven, which is intended to alert the world. "

"Fart." Yu Jinnian murmured softly.

Ji Hong glanced at him and sighed: "It's just that this is the moment, but it's not me who bears the brunt. It's the sister in the palace. There is news in the palace, led by Lu Dang. Spoiling the country, such as dropping the vision today, is even pointing to the imperial concubine in the future, and asked the emperor to focus on the dynasty and clear the harem. "

Yu Jinnian said: "Ah! Natural disasters are natural disasters, and human disasters are human disasters. What does it have to do with women ?! If one or two women can control the national games, wouldn't they show how incompetent the adults are for the country and the people? "That's the case, but it's unstoppable that someone wants to make a big fuss and push Ji Guifei to the cusp of the storm, what is the intention behind it, is it to deliberately instigate the relationship between the government of the State and Tianzi? However, although the Ji family is favored now, but it has no power, it is better to engage in the Min family than to engage in the Min family.

Duan Ming asked quickly: "How to say in that palace, the lady is okay now? What does the government say?"

Ji Hong shook his head: "The situation in the palace is changing rapidly. Sister Ai has recently been afraid that she can't do anything. It's because of the preference of the emperor and how long he can protect him."

Yu Jinnian suddenly asked: "Did Mr. Min return to Beijing?"

"Not yet." Shi Xingdao said, "Second son Min once went to Fengcheng every three days, and originally sent a letter to Lian Shaojian, but then for some reason, suddenly there was no news, which caused Lian Shaojian's daily difference. Come to the house and ask. "

Duan Ming interjected and said: "I heard that the twelve princes have returned to the land. It has been rumored that the twelve princes somehow angered His Majesty, fined him for two years of salaries, and condemned the land to introspection. The twelve lords were really obedient and could not close the door. "

"..." Yu Jinnian turned to look at Ji Hong, and Ji Hong happened to look back. The two looked at each other for a moment, and they seemed to have thought of going together.

Ji Hongdao: "Send someone to find Xuefei first, and we will return to Beijing someday."

——

The children outside the courtyard quickly found a new game and forgot the stones that Yu Jinnian had tricked into; the Chunan people gradually got used to it except for the initial surprise and panic. A few words, do not dare to preach loudly. However, there were many rumors in the city, and children sang an unknown song ignorantly, asking who was taught, but no one could tell the story.

Suddenly, the city became alert again, and there were many soldiers with swords at the gates of the palace and the city gate.

In the old forest outside the city, the old hunter grabbed a handful of dried Chen tea, threw the stones cut from the ox-tailed raccoon into the flaming stove, and went out alone to take a breath. He sat in front of the door On a tree stump, chewing tea in his mouth, looking at the clouds floating overhead.

Wind cirrus clouds wrinkle, grass and flowers sparse, flying birds in the forest.

When the younger brother in the room came out to call him to eat, the old hunter had been sitting in the forest for a long time, and he heard the cry before hitting the dust on the body. When he entered the room, he could not help but sigh and sighed, "Ah, afraid It's going to change ... "
