Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 540 There are many medicinal herbs in the mountains

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "That's right, just eat it. It doesn't cost more than one ounce of silver per plate at home. I guarantee you'll have enough to eat. I hid a lot of it just for you guys to come back and eat. I didn't expect that I really had it hidden."

There's no way Old Zheng would believe her.

After eating a piece, he was stunned. He had never lacked delicious food since he was a child and had eaten a lot of sea cucumbers and abalone, but the fresh, tender and fragrant taste that came from his mouth was no worse than these things.

No wonder Baoyue Tower can sell a plate for more than one or two taels of silver, it is enough.

If this thing were placed in Beijing, it would probably be more expensive!

I ate one piece after another.

Those dozen soldiers ate a lot of meat when they were roasted, but after a few slices they lost interest and started eating meat instead. All kinds of meat, meat was still the most delicious.

Seeing that he liked it, Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Uncle, if you like it, eat more. If there is nothing else, we have plenty of this at home."

Then, Lao Zheng ate without much hesitation, finishing most of the plate by himself, and no one competed with him for the food.

Although Wang Fugui and his friends were not as extravagant as the Zhou family, who ate mushrooms by the basketful, they still ate a lot during the entire mushroom season, fried, stir-fried, and stewed. They still have some dried ones at home, which they plan to take out and eat during the festivals.

So no one at the table competed with Lao Zheng for the food. Poor guy, he had never tasted anything fresh, so they just gave it all to him.

The old doctor was awakened by the smell of the fragrance. If he were so tired as usual, he would have slept until dawn.

But the house was so noisy that it seemed like it was going to blow the roof off, and coupled with the fragrance coming from his nose, he was looking for food everywhere in his dream, and the two excitement made him open his eyes.

I opened the door and followed the fragrance into the main room, where I saw this lively scene.

The old man was sitting facing the door. When he saw him, he immediately signaled to Zhou Guo, "The doctor is awake."

"Ah?" Everyone at the table looked back and saw the white-haired old doctor standing at the door with his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Li family members stood up after being coaxed.

Zhou Guo was the first to stand up. He walked over with a smile, held the old doctor's arm, and led him to the table. "Are you awake? The meal is ready and we wanted to call you to eat, but we heard that you wanted to sleep until dawn, so we didn't want to disturb you. Come, sit here with our old man and have a drink. I'll go make you some dishes."

Li and Zhou Xing had already stood up and went out.

The old doctor looked at the dishes on the table and waved his hand, saying, "No need. I'm not a picky person. Just eat like this. I think the dishes on the table are pretty good."

After a pause, he looked at the empty plate in the middle and couldn't help wondering, "What's on this plate? Why was it eaten up?"

That must be delicious!

Zhou Guo understood and said with a smile: "I'll get it. I'll get another plate. Everyone hasn't eaten enough yet."

Zhou Mai and others also stood up to help. It was quite tiring to work on pine mushrooms, and it would take a long time for one person to finish the work.

The brothers and sisters brought up a basket of pine mushrooms, scraped off the mud, and sliced ​​them.

Several people fried and roasted it, using all kinds of pots and racks, and finally finished it in a short time. Otherwise, the two tables of guests might have left before the dish was served.

Several people came into the room carrying trays.

Zhou Guo looked towards the other table. Good, there was still half a plate left. It seemed that they didn’t like the taste, so there was no need to prepare any more for that table.

Zhou Mi removed the empty plate from the table.

Zhou Guo placed several large plates full of pine mushroom slices in the middle.

Zhou Mai smiled and said to the old doctor: "This is what we have eaten from those two plates. Please enjoy it."

Before the old doctor could say anything, Old Zheng looked at the plates of mushroom slices piled high and nodded happily, saying, "Excellent, excellent. They are perfect for drinking."

Even so, he didn't pick up his chopsticks. He just looked at the old doctor, waiting for him to eat first.

The old doctor's eyes lit up. He spent half a year in the mountains. In order to find medicinal herbs, he went to many mountains all over the world. Naturally, he knew this thing. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Mai, "Where did this thing come from?"

Zhou Mai smiled and said, "I picked them from the mountains. If you like to eat them, there are still a lot at home. You can eat as much as you want."

The old man sighed and said, "This is a good medicinal herb. I have to get some to take away. Is that okay?"

Zhou Mai nodded, "Of course, you can take as much as you want from the ice cellar yourself."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "We have some dried at home."

The old doctor smiled and nodded, picked up a piece and put it in his bowl, looked at it and said, "This thing is not available in every place. Although there are a lot of them in the mountains, it is still quite precious. I have only eaten it a few times. I never thought there would be such a thing in the north."

After saying that, he put the mushroom slice into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed it slowly. After chewing it into pieces, he swallowed it. He felt the fragrance filling his mouth, and the aftertaste was endless. He opened his eyes and said, "It's delicious. In terms of food and medicine, it's a rare thing."

Old Zheng laughed, "It's not a rare thing in my niece's house. There are plenty of them. If you have nothing to do next autumn, you can come here to the mountains. There are so many mountains here, and there must be a lot of medicinal herbs on the mountains. Anyway, you have a few little disciples in the army, so it's enough."

The old doctor was really moved. He looked up at the old man beside him and asked, "Is it convenient?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "It's convenient, it's not inconvenient. There are so many people at home anyway."

He can help here. At least he doesn't have to worry about someone in the team getting sick or injured and having no place to get treatment. With an old doctor at home, he feels more at ease than anyone else.

Zhou Guo and his friends were even happier.

She smiled and said, "Why don't you just stay at home for a while? It hasn't snowed yet, so you can go into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs."

Temptation said: "Let me tell you that the century-old ginseng at home was dug by me from the mountain, and the medicine you are looking for this time is also from the mountain. There are many good things in our mountains, but it's a pity that we don't know the value of gold and jade, and we don't know these good things. You have to come here."

The old doctor looked at her, narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Old Zheng after a while.

Old Zheng nodded and said, "You can stay. Brother Zhou's injury is not light. He needs to rest for at least one or two months. By then, he will be frozen. The general said that you have to cure him. I think your eldest disciple has learned all your true teachings. It doesn't make much difference whether you are in the camp or not. If you want to stay, then stay. It will be the same when you return to the army next year."

The old doctor's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table and said, "Okay, then I'll stay."

There were plenty of military doctors in the camp, but thinking that the Hu people were about to launch a large-scale attack to the south, and that there were constant casualties in the camp every day, he shook his head and said, "I'd better go back with you. It won't be too late for me to come back when we have driven the Hu people back."

Zhou Guo immediately showed respect to the old doctor, and stopped laughing, saying, "You are right. Things in the mountains can't grow legs and run away. Even after millions of years, it will still be there. You can come anytime you want. The door of the Zhou family is always open."
