Chapter 50
Then Cang Yuanshou asked some more about medicinal materials, she picked up some commonly used ones and said, rare ones, medicinal materials that had never appeared in Nanzhou all shook her head, Cang Yuanshou asked Eleven again, Eleven remembered the first nine He stuttered and said a few words, but shook his head and didn't know anything else.

"It's an exaggeration." Several times of cross-examination, the head of the Cang Yuan was greatly disappointed, and waved his hand to signal the two to go down.

The old lady who didn't dare to make a sound at the side saw Cang Yuanshou finished his question, and then started talking to him, but before saying a few words, that Cang Yuanshou shook his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say any more.

The ninth day of the family banquet was dizzy, and those relatives who seemed to be unable to remember at all passed by like a revolving lantern, and when they had finished recognizing them, they were full, but the two of them only had one meal. little bit.

Sitting there and eating a few cold dishes, after the head of Cangyuan and the old lady left, Chu Jiu didn't care about etiquette, and thought that she and Shi Yi were the only ones on the table to eat, without any scruples.

Then he wrapped up the whole lotus leaf-wrapped chicken and the thinly sliced ​​beef, and planned to pack them back to the room to eat, which made all the female relatives who hadn't left covered their lips and sneered.

Although Eleven's face was burned by the smile at first, but seeing that her sister ignored it, she generously wrapped the pastries on the table with a handkerchief and took them back together.

"There are really no rules in these four rooms."

"That's not it." The two aunts were talking, when they saw Chu Jiu's ugly face approaching, and his eyes were very fierce, they got up and hid one after another, some even fell to the ground without knowing it.

Chu Jiu ignored them, but quickly took out the contents of the middle soup bowl with chopsticks, put it in the handkerchief and took it away, and changed it to the next table. Know how to reprimand, after all, Chu Jiu did not do anything evil, just turning around among several tables.

Cang Yuhua, the master of the long house, let the crowd disperse, and all the female family members hurriedly left together, but the Sanfang Wu stepped forward to help wrap up the untouched cakes on the table, and asked Sanfang Yue to take them from the back. A crimson food box was brought to serve them.

Chu Jiu nodded with a smile and thanked her.

Wu Shi shook her head and said: "It's not a big deal, your mother is not here, so it's my duty to help take care of you two sisters."

"Hey, the third lady is busy." The person who spoke was Aunt Liu from the second room, and she also came forward to help clean up when she saw this, followed by Aunt Yu from the second room, and Cang Ming also brought the pastry tray with a smile Come here, one sister and one sister shouted.

It looked kind, but Chu Jiu let out a sneer in his heart.

Mrs. Wu might have really had some friendship with Wanniang, so she offered the food box as a gift, but what came later was not so purely intentional, most of it was to use them to set off their kindness.

Chu Jiu cleaned up the things on his own table, and kept nothing on the other table, even those who hadn't touched the chopsticks, and they didn't take them either, which made the helpers a little puzzled.

They only thought that Miss Ninth and Miss Eleven were poor, and when they saw these delicacies, they couldn't help but want to take some back. They didn't expect that except for the ones cleaned up by Sanfang Wu, the others didn't even have a piece of pastry. don't want.

After getting bored, they said a few polite words, and then ordered them to leave.

After packing up, Wu wanted someone to send them back, but Chu Jiu shook his head and refused, kissed him lightly, and left with Eleven.

Wu Shi is indeed the only one who is sincere among these people, but that is all she can do to help. Just now in the garden, when the three of them were talking, she neither said anything good nor followed suit, so it can be seen that she is a prudent and self-protecting master.

Getting along with this kind of person is not as easy as getting along with those who are openly enemies, because you never know when she will give up, or even trip you secretly for some unknown reason, you It is not yet known who did it.

After returning to her own courtyard, Chu Jiu handed the lunch box to He'er who came to welcome the two, and told her to heat it up for everyone to eat.

He'er nodded quickly, glad that the master still remembered them.

Eleven hesitated for a moment, and gave He'er the pastry in his hand for everyone to share.

Chu Jiu reached out and touched her head, and brought her back to the room.

When they arrived in the room, Chu Jiu spread out the handkerchief that he had been carrying all the time, and when Eleven saw it, he looked up at Chu Jiu in surprise, "No wonder my sister kept filling soup for Eleven as soon as she tasted the chicken soup, it turned out that it was ginseng chicken soup."

The dignified Nanzhou Jishitang has passed through countless medicinal herbs, and the precious medicinal materials are mainly ginseng. The lady of the shopkeeper of Jishitang does not know the taste of ginseng, which is ironic.

"Well, although it was cooked, it was in a hurry, and the effect of the medicine was not fully released. Next, I will find a young chicken, remove the head, feet and buttocks, peel the garlic, cut the green onion into sections, slice the ginger, peel the chestnuts, and remove the dried red dates. Nut. Stuff glutinous rice soaked in advance, chestnuts, garlic, red dates, ginger, green onions, and ginseng into the chicken belly, then tie the chicken legs and stuff them into the chicken belly, seal the opening, and wait for two hours Then the effect of the medicine can be forced out."

As Chu Jiu spoke, he slowly wiped clean the skinny ginseng wrapped in the veil, wondering whether the money was enough to buy these raw materials.

Eleven looked at those ginseng, his eyes slowly dimmed, and said softly, "Sister, Eleven doesn't want to eat it."

"Why?" Chu Jiu asked a little strangely. This ginseng is not a strange thing, nor does it have any bitter taste.

Eleven shook his head, and said: "There is not a family banquet every day, and the old man has already said that Eleven will definitely die, so there is no need to waste good medicinal materials."

"Don't worry." Chu Jiu shook his head lightly when he heard the words, and said, "The old man's medical skills are superb, and he is not life and death." arrogant.

There may have been people around him who could become opponents, but he came from a medical family and was born superior. Naturally, someone would pave the way for him. Without competition pressure, he would naturally be unable to make progress. advantage becomes disadvantage.

She also had such a period of time, but fortunately, the path she chose was deviant, and the people gathered around her were all top figures in medicine, and everyone was arrogant and conceited. Step by step, she crushed those stumbling blocks into powder, and stood above that peak.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiu forcefully closed her eyes and opened them, only the words on the "Zhen Yan Shi Zhuan", which teaches acupuncture, were left in her eyes. She is not used to the way of reading, so she has to read more seriously.
