Border Cook

Chapter 260 Thick-Skinned

In order to get the house of Madam Cao, he even raised the price by 30% before finally getting it even though Madam Cao refused.

As for the idea of ​​opening a clinic in the county town...

It was obviously something he had to do in order to make it natural for him to move next door to Madam Xia. He didn't buy the house just to open a clinic!

The cause and effect are totally reversed!

But no matter how much he complained in his heart, after all, it was his own master who did it, and Mao Sanli didn't want to expose it.

The reason why he didn't want to expose it was naturally to maintain the dignity and respect of his master, and it had nothing to do with the silver needle acupuncture...

"I see." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "It is an honor to be a neighbor of Doctor Yin."

"Doctor Yin just moved here, so he may not be familiar with the place. If you need any help, please feel free to ask. Don't be polite."

"Sure, sure." Yin Lingyou bowed with a smile.

After exchanging some greetings, Xia Mingyue and Lu went back to their work, while Yin Lingyou and Mao Sanli were still busy directing the people who came to do the work to move things and place furniture.

The two men did not stay in Shilipu for long. Apart from the various medicinal herbs collected by Yin Lingyou and the various tools for preparing the medicinal herbs, there was not much else. By noon, they had basically finished putting everything in order.

Mao Sanli boiled a pot of water, made a pot of tea, and brought it to Yin Lingyou.

Yin Lingyou took a sip of the tea in the cup and looked at the sun outside. "It's almost time, you can go now."

"This..." Mao Sanli hesitated a little, "Master, do you really want me to go?"

"If it's not you who goes, then should I go too?" Yin Lingyou said unhappily.

"Master, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, do I have to go?" Mao Sanli felt a little uneasy. "Will it seem a little bit..."

cheeky?
"Sanli." Yin Lingyou put down his teacup and said earnestly, "If a person is thin-skinned, life will be too tiring. This is the most important principle that I want to teach you besides medical skills. You must remember it."

Mao Sanli looked at Yin Lingyou and scratched the back of his head. "But Master, you said before that the most important thing for people to live in this world is to be happy, and eating delicious food will make people happy, so the most important thing for people to live in this world is to eat delicious food. You also said at the time that this is the most important principle. I don't quite understand. If these two principles are both the most important principles, which one is more important?"

Yin Lingyou, "..."

This blockhead!
Definitely both are important.

What's more, these two things are now the same thing.

The current situation is that you can eat delicious food if you are thick-skinned, understand?

But I can't say it so bluntly...

Yin Lingyou coughed lightly and said, "The importance of truth naturally varies from person to person and from time to time, just like diagnosing a patient, the same symptoms may not be the same disease. Everything should be tailored to the situation..."

"Forget it, just tell me whether you're going or not!"

Anyway, according to the current situation, the two of us are grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Either you can have it all, or you can have it none.

Whether to go or not is up to you. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Mao Sanli bowed to Yin Lingyou and said, "Disciple will go right away."

After saying that, he strode out of the yard and went straight to Xia Mingyue's house.

At this time, Xia Mingyue was instructing her three apprentices to prepare lunch.

Shredded potatoes with vinegar, mapo tofu, braised chicken, shepherd's purse and egg soup, and the staple food is steamed white rice.

The potato shreds are distinct and uniform in thickness. At first glance, they look as if they were rubbed with a grater. The beige color has a strong oily sheen, and is occasionally dotted with a few red pepper rings, which makes it look particularly beautiful.

The Mapo Tofu was steaming hot. Pieces of white and tender tofu were soaked in the red, oily and thick soup with minced meat, which really whetted one's appetite.

The braised chicken pieces were piled up like a small mountain, with their tops sticking out of the basin. They were reddish-brown in color and exuded a rich aroma...

As soon as Mao Sanli entered the yard and saw such a rich and delicious lunch, his saliva instantly welled up, gathered at the tip of his tongue, and was finally swallowed with difficulty.

Before Mao Sanli could say anything, Xia Mingyue had already seen him and asked hurriedly, "Brother Mao is here?"

"I want to ask Madam Xia something..." Mao Sanli rubbed his hands uneasily.

"Brother Mao, if you have anything to say, just tell us. We will definitely not refuse any help we can provide."

Xia Mingyue's words were passionate and her expression was sincere, which made Mao Sanli feel even more embarrassed and his cheeks turned red.

But when he thought of what his master had just said, that people need to be thick-skinned to live in this world, and then glanced at the delicious food, Mao Sanli swallowed all his hesitation with saliva.

After coughing lightly, Mao Sanli said, "Madam Xia, please don't laugh at me if I tell you this..."

"My master and I are both grown men, and neither of us is very good at cooking. We usually just make do with what we eat. This was fine when we lived in Shilipu before, but now we live next to Madam Xia's house. I can smell the fragrance of Madam Xia's house all day long, and the food in my hands tastes even less good."

"So I thought of coming to talk to Madam Xia, and see if my master and I can pay Madam Xia some money every day so that we can eat with you guys every day? Madam Xia doesn't have to worry about what we want to eat every day, just cook according to your usual preferences. My master and I are not picky eaters."

No matter what Madam Xia cooks, it must be delicious, and he and his master love it!
Xia Mingyue heard this and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Seeing that she didn't hesitate at all, Mao Sanli was surprised, but a little uneasy, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "There are so many people in my central kitchen who need to eat three meals a day. Adding you and Doctor Yin, it's not too many people. It's also a convenient thing."

It's not much trouble.

"That's good, that's good." Mao Sanli felt grateful that he had not caused too much trouble to Xia Mingyue, and was secretly delighted that this matter was much simpler than he had imagined.

"We are about to have dinner here. You and Doctor Yin can come and eat now." Xia Mingyue greeted warmly.

"Master doesn't like crowds, and he always likes to study medicine, so he never has time. I'll go get a bowl and serve it back to him."

"to make."

Before Xia Mingyue finished her words, Mao Sanli had already rushed to the next room. Not long after, he came back again, holding a large bowl and a...

pot.
