The old man was shaken awake, opened his eyes with difficulty, and said weakly: "Don't bother, my injury can't be cured!
Ahem, cough, cough, I'm lucky to be able to crawl back with support!
After I died, ahem... there was a hole under the bedside, and in it were the hundreds of pennies I had saved.
Cough cough cough... you take it to the medical center in the county to heal your head, remember where you are from, and go home quickly!
It doesn’t matter if the old man dies, cough cough cough… As a young man like you who doesn’t know how to farm or collect medicine, I’m afraid you won’t be able to support yourself! "
Speaking of this, Chen Yun became dissatisfied: "Old man, I can support myself by chopping firewood. Didn't I chop wood in exchange for money to buy medicine a few days ago?
By the way, stop talking nonsense and drink some soup first! "
Chen Yun stretched out his hand to help the old man from the bed and leaned against the head of the bed, brought over the bowl of soup, took the wooden spoon, scooped up the soup and fed it to the old man.
The fragrance is really fragrant. It is a weasel demon that has been practicing Taoism for 120 years. The quality of the meat is absolutely excellent. After mincing it, I soaked it in cold water and blanch it several times. The smell has basically been removed.
If you really follow the cooking instructions in Shan Hai Jing and use lemongrass root, star anise, cinnamon, sugar cane and other seasonings and spices to neutralize the fishy smell, maybe the soup will be sweeter and more delicious. Fragrant, no odor.
But now we can only make do.
However, the old man was about to die, so he no longer cared about the taste of food, and he couldn't smell the faint fishy smell in the soup.
He opened his mouth and drank the soup that Chen Yun had scooped up. As soon as the soup entered his mouth, he felt a warm current going down from his throat and then spread throughout his body.
What does it feel like at this moment?
It felt like the whole body had been soaked in a hot spring with a suitable temperature. The old man, who was already a little exhausted and about to stop his energy and blood, felt that his energy and blood functioning ability had returned.
Seeing that the old man had just drank a spoonful of soup, his entire face was getting better and rosy in a way that could be seen with the naked eye.
After all, this is a weasel demon with 120 years of experience. The flesh and blood of this body contains the energy it has accumulated for 120 years. Compared with a ginseng that is hundreds of years old, a century-old ginseng may not be able to compare with it!
It can be said that after the old man drinks this bowl of soup, his injuries will be greatly improved.
But Chen Yun still didn't dare to be careless. After feeding a whole bowl of soup, he scooped up the remaining inner elixir of the weasel demon and brought it to the old man's mouth.
Unexpectedly, the old man stopped eating and stared at him and asked, "What is this?"
Chen Yun answered honestly: "Medicine!"
I just lied to him. If the truth is told, this is a monster, and this one is the monster's inner elixir. It would be strange for the old man to dare to eat it.
But who is the old man?
He is a herbal collector himself, and his understanding of medicinal materials is way ahead of Chen Yun's. The gap between the two is as big as clouds and mud.
not to mention.
The bowl of soup just now had an obvious meaty smell. Could the old man taste it?
However, what kind of meat can allow me to recover from serious internal injuries, and now I feel much better.
After the old man felt his body after drinking the entire bowl of broth, he raised his arm. His whole internal organs used to hurt when he moved his body. Now, no matter how high he raised his arm, his internal organs actually didn't hurt that much.
"Is it really medicine?"
Chen Yun nodded: "In my hometown of Guangnan West Road, everything is food and everything can be used as medicine!
This can cure diseases, of course it is medicine, just tell me if your body has improved! "
The old man nodded, reached out to take the bowl in Chen Yun's hand, pinched the round thing in the bowl that was the size of a finger, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it without feeling anything.
The moment he swallowed it, it was like swallowing a ball of fire, a flowing fire, and it was like swallowing a mouthful of boiling water.
But this discomfort passed away in a flash, and then I was filled with relief.
It feels like my whole body is soaking in a hot bath in a tub. After soaking for a long time, my whole body is soft, but it feels very comfortable.
"Okay, I've eaten. I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap!"
The old man returned the bowl to Chen Yun and lay back on the bed. As soon as his head rested on the pillow, he was already fast asleep.
As soon as Chen Yun saw it, he knew it was safe.
He covered the old man with a quilt and walked out with a bowl. To be honest, he had never tasted the taste of monster meat!
Not to mention the meat of monsters. Since I traveled to this world for two or three months, I haven't eaten meat once a month. The two times I have eaten meat, one was when the old man helped someone find some medicinal materials, and they gave me a pig. Tail.
Another time, it is said that when the old man went up the mountain to collect medicine, he frightened a rabbit. It panicked and hit a rock directly, killing it and allowing the old man to take advantage of it.
The most important thing is that today, in order to go to the city to buy medicine, I drove dozens of miles of mountain roads. I haven't eaten enough water and rice, and now I feel even more hungry and uncomfortable.
Now that the old man was fine, after he let go, his spirit returned to his body, and he found that his state had reached the critical point. This was a state of starvation.
Without saying a word, he quickly took a wooden bowl and went to scoop out the meat and soup in the pot.
Generally speaking, people in this situation drink a bowl of soup first. People from southern Guangdong and western Guangxi used to be collectively called Lingnan. In the Ming Dynasty, they were divided into Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road. These two places like to make soup and drink soup. , thinking that the essence is in the soup.
So Chen Yun, as an authentic native of Guangnan West, first scooped up half a bowl of soup. He didn't even use a spoon. He just put his mouth to the edge of the bowl and took a sip.
As soon as he took the soup into his mouth, he knew why the old man had recovered so quickly.
His whole body instantly felt as if he had been thrown into a sauna, but the sauna was steaming from the outside in. But now that Chen Yun had taken a sip of the soup, he felt that his body was radiating a warm and comfortable heat flow from the inside out.
And this heat flow is still washing every corner of his body.
The most important thing is that even without lemongrass root, sugar cane, star anise, cinnamon and other spices, his tongue can no longer taste the fishy smell.
The soup is really fragrant and beautiful.
Chen Yun didn't care about scalding it, and finished the soup in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, and then immediately went to fish out the meat in the pot.
He thought that the meat of the weasel, which has been popular for 120 years, would be very firm, and it would basically not become tender even if it was stewed for only two hours.
Unexpectedly, even though the weasel meat has been cooked for 120 years, it is still weasel meat. After simmering it in a casserole for two hours, it actually became rotten.
No wonder the prompt on the scroll of Classic of Mountains and Seas indicates that the heat is up, and it is rated as excellent (for Chen Yun, if the scroll of Classic of Mountains and Seas is rated as passing, it is already excellent to him).
It took Chen Yun a long time to eat and drink enough. To be honest, he originally wanted to save the stew for several meals, but he didn't expect that he couldn't help it once he started eating it.
If he hadn't used his strong will to hold another casserole, divide half of it and hide it in the cupboard, all the soup and meat would have gone into his stomach by now.
Chen Yun thought that this was not his fault, but that the weasel meat and soup were so delicious.
By the time he had eaten and drank enough, it was already white and almost dawn.
After struggling all day and night, Chen Yun looked at the mess and bones on the table and decided to take a nap before cleaning up.
Because he was too sleepy.
"Oh oh oh oh"
A few hens were still sleepy, but a rooster had already emerged from the cage and began to crow in the sky as usual. The day's plan was about to begin.
In the past, as soon as it crows, someone will come out of the house to bring some leftover rice, some grass seeds, or even some grain or something to feed it.
But today, when it crowed, no one came out to feed it.
This is quite unbearable for chickens. What do you mean? You don’t want to pay wages, do you?
So it planned to go in and take a look, what's going on?
