The wontons that morning were stuffed with pork and scallions. I used a stuffing machine that Hanhan ordered to make. I cut the meat into small pieces and threw it in. After shaking it, the meat filling was made.
"Okay, great. I'm really hungry. Our village is the best! Bring over the pickles of garlic eggplant and dried cucumber strips."
Li Zhixian made no secret of it. He and other village chiefs would never say this.
Only when you go to Xiaqiu Village do you have nothing to fear. You can ask for what you want to eat, and you can pack it back later.
'A sneeze! A sneeze! A sneeze! After Li Zhixian finished speaking, he turned his head and sneezed continuously, took out his handkerchief and blew his nose, and tears came out of the corners of his eyes.
Zhu Wentian smiled and looked at the other person, observing carefully to determine what the other person's symptoms were so that he could give him medicine.
If a person in the village feels unwell, he can check his pulse, ask questions, ask him to open his mouth, stick out his tongue...
For outsiders, he can only look at them with his eyes and cannot take their pulse, otherwise the secret will be exposed.
He actually wanted to ask Li Zhixian if he felt any pain? Did you sleep well last night? Does your throat feel uncomfortable? Sweat or not? Ever feel confused? Do you have chest tightness...
As long as the other party answers well, he can immediately give a prescription and have someone do it.
At this moment, the other person only sneezed, had a runny nose, and shed tears. He never coughed. He was out of breath when talking. The horseman who came over on horseback couldn't tell whether he had been sweating before.
The wontons were served with pepper and a few side dishes. Li Zhixian quickly took the spoon and blew into it while eating. After eating one wonton, he breathed out.
"Ah~~ I'm alive. Yesterday in Shuanghuang Village, I felt uncomfortable when I was eating at night. There was an evil wind in the room where I slept. When I woke up in the morning, my whole body ached.
Fortunately, I didn't feel feverish or dizzy, but my throat was uncomfortable, my nose was runny, my eyes were watery, I couldn't stop sneezing, I was sweating a little while riding, and my clothes were damp inside. "
He began to talk about his experience, mainly telling the village chief about his symptoms. He knew that the elders in the village would not come to see him, and he wanted to take medicine.
"It hurts, cry, uh! Uh-huh, uh-huh! No, scared. Hehehehe."
Zhu Wentian cooperated for a while, understood, and went back to prescribe medicine. Add Atractylodes to Ephedra Decoction.
The chief then said, "I've made a note of County Magistrate Li, and I'll get you some medicine later. Don't worry, it's a minor illness."
"Okay!" Li Zhixian calmed down and continued eating. This is what he meant. You should tell the master.
At the same time, he made up his mind not to go anywhere today. He would stay in Xiaqiu Village at night to recuperate from his illness. He would probably die if he went outside.
The four government officials also ate wontons with peace of mind. The locals ate wontons directly as their staple food and stopped eating anything else.
In some places, wontons are eaten as soup, and served with glutinous rice, stir-fried noodles, steamed buns...
After finishing a large bowl of wontons, Li Zhixian went into the house to hide. The chief had already lit incense. Li Zhixian was so moved that he almost cried.
I thought to myself: This is what going to the countryside should be like, instead of being uncomfortable with a meal, having to pay for the food yourself, and having a smell in the house.
Zhu Wentian took Li Chang to the drug store and picked up medicine, including ephedra, cassia twig, licorice, almond, and atractylodes.
He cooked it himself. Anyway, there was nothing to do today. If he found someone else, he would have to tell him how to watch the fire.
"Hanhan, what's for lunch? County Li is being wronged outside!"
The mayor thought of Li Zhixian's appearance and shook his head slightly. It was so pitiful.
"Steamed, sour, bone, meat, ginger, eight..."
"I got it, steam pickled cabbage and bones, meaty bones, add ginger slices, star anise, and salt, hey hey hey!"
The director translated it and understood. It does make you sweat after eating this, and it is also light. There is no oil in the soup.
"Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian also laughed.
After the medicine was boiled, the head of the village brought it to him personally. Four yamen servants were taking turns pinching Li Zhixian's head and shoulders, which made him feel sore and uncomfortable.
Seeing the medicine, Li Zhixian tested the temperature with his lips and drank it into his stomach.
After drinking the medicine, he felt better instantly. It was a purely psychological effect.
"Li Zhixian, this is the prescription, Ephedra plus Shu Decoction. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me and we can adjust the prescription."
The head of the hospital put the paper with the prescription on the table and told him what kind of medicine he was taking. We didn't prescribe it randomly.
Li Zhixian took a look at it and saw the five herbs, along with the amount and method of decoction. Question: "Is this a unique prescription for our village?"
The director shook his head: "No, it's the prescriptions in the Golden Chamber's Essentials of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases written by Zhang Zhongjing."
"Have you already had it? Alas! I still don't study enough! Studying is not easy, and studying medicine is even harder."
Li Zhixian knew who Zhang Zhongjing was, but he had never read his medical books. He had no time and he was not an official in this dynasty.
"Yes! It's difficult to study medicine. Like me, I started studying medicine when I was young and have been..."
"Yichang, you can go and do the important things in the village! You don't need to worry about me."
Li Zhixian interrupted the other party, "Stop talking. If you can't bear it, just go and take care of the expert. I didn't count on your medical skills."
"Okay! I'm going to see how the glass is burning." Seeing that the other party didn't listen to him, Li Chang had to leave.
…
Li Zhixian took a nap and felt much better when he woke up. Just in time for dinner, when he sat down at the table again, he felt like a different person compared to before.
Seeing the steamed buns and steamed bone-in-bone meat and pickled cabbage soup, I swallowed my saliva and started eating.
At this moment, the boat to Nanjing came back. Zhu Taisan and Zhu Taisi got off first, and others also got off to eat first and then carry their things.
Zhu Taisan took a small box and placed it in front of Hanhan: "Chief, His Royal Highness the Prince gave Hanhan, the village guard, a gift. He brought a jade pendant with him. He said that if Hanhan has time to go to the Prince's Mansion in Nanjing, he can enter directly.
In addition, knowing that the village had a short time to buy things, I deliberately sent ham, dried seafood, and some medicinal materials that were arriving in Nanjing one after another.
The colored glaze sent by the village was praised repeatedly by His Majesty and the Queen. It can make money from foreigners and make up for the shortcomings of our Ming Dynasty. "
As he spoke, he opened the box and revealed a jade pendant made of satin. The jade pendant was already patinated and had obviously been played with frequently.
"Hmm! Uh! Ha! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian said as if he didn't recognize this thing.
"Jade pendant, jade, jade." Zhu Taisan taught.
"Hey~~pooh~~oh~~drive, oh, oh~~hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian followed suit.
"Chief, please tell Hanhan when you have time." Zhu Taisan gave up and turned to wash his hands.
The chief carefully closed the lid, carried it in his arms and returned to the house. He knew that this was the prince's show of goodwill, and the thing was given to Hanhan, but it was for the master to see.
Which prince's residence are you going to, Hanhan? You want an expert to take it to you!
Zhu Wentian was the first to finish eating again and ran to the dock to watch the villagers who had also finished eating carry their things and help.
He knew without asking that the ham should be produced in Jinhua. The village did not make ham. There were too many craftsmanships and he had not actually made it. It was a waste of pig legs.
It is more convenient to buy what you can buy with money. If you want to make it, you have to learn how to make Iberian ham. It can be eaten directly. Jinhua ham needs to be processed.
One ham after another was brought down, and Zhu Wentian began to think about how to eat it.
