Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 162 First meeting

Song Ying couldn't help but feel curious. Was her throat injured, or was it naturally like this?

While she was stunned, Lin Wenxuan and his aunt had finished chatting. He pointed at Song Ying and said, "Aunt, this is the Song Ying I told you about. She can read and knows a lot of herbs. She can help you without any problem."

Doctor Lin rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "Can medicinal food be made just by knowing some herbs?"

"Oh, aunt, girls who understand medicine are rare, you have been looking for half a year and still haven't found one.

As the saying goes, you can draw inferences from similar cases. She knows about herbs, and she will understand the medical principles you need if you just point them out. It won’t be very troublesome.”

Doctor Lin stared at him without saying anything. Lin Wenxuan rubbed her back ingratiatingly: "Aunt, I'm just worried that you'll be tired. If you can find someone to help you sooner, you'll be less tired, right?"

Although Doctor Lin still had a stern face, a little smile appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and pushed him away. "Okay, okay, since I promised, I won't go back on my word. Look how nervous you are."

After hearing this, Song Ying had nothing to understand. It was not that the Shen family was in urgent need of someone to help prepare the medicinal food, but that Lin Wenxuan was worried that it would be dangerous for him to live alone in the dilapidated ancestral house, so he specifically asked his aunt to lower her requirements and, as a second choice, choose him, who knew some herbs.

She was very grateful. Since she met Lin Wenxuan, he had been helping her. It could be said that without his help, she would not be who she is today. At least in the short term, she did not have the confidence to leave home.

At this time, Doctor Lin changed his tone and said coldly: "But I have to say this in advance. If she doesn't do a good job, I won't use her."

"Of course. If I'm not capable of doing the job, I can't stay here and delay your work." Song Ying said without waiting for Lin Wenxuan to speak.

Doctor Lin looked at her and nodded: "You are quite tactful."

"Aunt, don't worry. Song Ying is very efficient. He keeps all the herbs sent to our clinic in good condition." Lin Wenxuan has great confidence in Song Ying.

He had to take care of the clinic's business, so he left after staying for a while.

Doctor Lin pointed to the western wing and said, "You will live in that room from now on. Put your things away first. I will take you to the big kitchen to meet people."

"Yes."

Song Ying responded nervously and excitedly, and walked towards the west wing carrying her backpack. She didn't bring much with her, only a few sets of clothes.

When Song Ying opened the door, he was surprised. The room was not big, but clean and bright. What surprised Song Ying most was that it had everything.

After pushing open the door, the first thing that comes into view is a carved wooden bed with a white mosquito net hanging over it. At this time, the mosquito net is folded up in the hooks on both sides, revealing the neatly folded navy blue bedding on the bed.

In the middle of the room is a round table with four uniquely shaped round stools. There is even a dressing table near the window!

Next to the dressing table is a washstand with a washbasin and a towel hanging on it.

Is this the temporary worker for a wealthy family?

In the village, whether it was a girl getting married or a wife getting married, the dowry usually consisted of only a bed and a few large boxes. Ma Chun'er had an extra dressing table, which made the girls and wives in the village envious for a long time.

In this room, there is not only a dressing table, but also a washstand and a small round table, and these objects are carved with patterns!

At this moment, Song Ying had specific expectations for her future home. She also bought complete and unique furniture for her home.

Song Ying didn't look at it any further. He put down the backpack and hurried out. He had just arrived and couldn't let Doctor Lin wait too long.

She suppressed her joy and followed Doctor Lin to the big kitchen. A sharp-eyed maid who was washing vegetables by the well was the first to notice their arrival.

"Doctor Lin is here!"

The little maid smiled and greeted him, then looked curiously at Song Ying behind Doctor Lin.

Song Ying smiled faintly and nodded slightly to the little maid as a greeting.

"Oh, Doctor Lin, why did you come here in person? If you need anything, just ask the maids to pass on the message." A smiling voice came from afar.

Song Ying looked up and saw a plump, pale lady walking out of the kitchen. She had a smile on her face and looked very kind.

Doctor Lin was not moved by the lady's kindness and enthusiasm. She just nodded calmly and pointed at Song Ying and said, "This is the temporary worker who will be responsible for making medicinal food in the future. I brought her here to introduce her to others."

The lady didn't mind Dr. Lin's indifference at all, and said cheerfully, "Oh, I finally hired someone. You can finally relax a little in the future."

Doctor Lin then said to Song Ying, "This is Madam Fang who is in charge of the kitchen. If you need any ingredients in the future, just look for her."

Song Ying nodded and said, "Hello, Madam Fang. I'll trouble you in the future."

Facing Song Ying, the new temporary worker, Mother Fang was still very friendly and enthusiastic, in complete contrast to Dr. Lin's cold attitude towards her: "It's not a bother, it's not a bother! It's what we should do. If the girl needs anything, just tell us."

After that, he clapped his hands and called to the others: "Those who don't have any work now, come over and recognize this. This is the new temporary worker, responsible for Dr. Lin..."

After Song Ying and the maids in the courtyard greeted each other and exchanged names, Doctor Lin talked about business: "Mother Fang, bring us six oranges and a piece of ginger."

"Good Le!"

As soon as Fang's mother responded, a clever little maid beside her immediately ran into the house: "I'll go get it for Doctor Lin!"

Mother Fang smiled and said to Doctor Lin, "Please wait a moment."

The little maid moved very quickly. As soon as Mother Fang finished speaking, she came out with a tray with six bright yellow oranges and a small piece of peeled and cleanly washed ginger on it.

Song Ying quickly stepped forward and said, "Give it to me."

"This girl is really smart." Fang's mother praised, "Dr. Lin is really good at selecting people."

After that, he asked Song Ying kindly, "Where did you work before?"

"I've never worked before." Song Ying replied. She just felt that Mrs. Fang loved to praise others. In this short period of time, she praised herself several times.

Seeing that Fang's mother was about to praise again, Doctor Lin said first: "Let's go."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards a small room next to him, which was a slightly smaller kitchen. After entering the room, Doctor Lin moved a small stove from the corner and took out charcoal, medicine jars and other tools.

“Today I’m going to teach you a simple recipe, which is to make ginger and orange drink.” As she said that, she took the tray, washed her hands, and began to peel the oranges.

After she finished peeling one and confirmed that she was just peeling an orange in an ordinary way, Song Ying washed her hands and started peeling the orange too.

Six oranges, peeled very quickly.

Doctor Lin then cut the orange into small pieces and said to Song Ying as he cut them: "Remove the white part of the orange peel, rub it with salt, and soak it in water for later use."
