After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

"Uncle, how old is this tree?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"It's been about twenty years. I went out to work and brought it back from Los Angeles."

“Do you dry your own herbs at home?”

"Yes, it takes a lot of time. We keep some honeysuckle flowers for ourselves to make tea every year so that we won't get heat stroke when working in the summer. The rest we sell to the medicine shop."

Lin Mingxuan looked around.

"It seems that you are the only family around here that grows this honeysuckle?"

"There are few people in our village, and we all plant a few trees to supplement our family income. However, the old man plants them on the edge of the field, while some families plant them in their courtyards for fear of being stolen. If I had known earlier, I would have planted them at home. It is good to build a road, but my fruits have been wasted a lot." The old farmer sighed, then pointed to the back and said, "There are also people planting behind that hillside."

"I see."

"Do you want to write a sign to tell others that the fruit is poisonous?" An Yumo said.

"Girl, it's useless." The old man waved his hand. "Earlier, I asked a village teacher to write it and put it next to it. It's better not to put it there. Once it is put there, it will be ruined even more... Forget it."

Ding Xirui thought of some parks in later generations. The park managers did not dare to write the names of the medicinal herbs they planted, especially the precious ones, lest they be poached by some greedy person. Alas!

After saying goodbye to the old man and taking a lunch break, they boarded the carriage and continued on their way to Lan County. The sun was shining brightly, the temperature was rising, and the carriage was a little stuffy, making people feel drowsy.

Ding Xirui lifted the curtain, and the cool breeze blew in, instantly sobering up a lot. The carriage entered the city, and the atmosphere of Mid-Autumn Festival was still lingering everywhere. However, the mooncakes in the pastry shop were sold at a reduced price. No matter how delicate and cute they looked, they were no different from the festival period, but almost no one was interested in buying them.

When they arrived at the entrance of the alley, the two families said goodbye, Ding Xirui got off the carriage and opened the gate.

"Chenpi, be careful and bring the horse in." Banxia said.

"it is good."

This courtyard gate is smaller than the gate of the Ding family's backyard. In addition, the alley is narrow, so Nanxing has to struggle for a while to move the car in every time. Chenpi is not used to pulling the cart.

After several attempts, the carriage finally entered the yard. He untied the horse and took it into the stable. He also took a bundle of hay from the side and put it into the trough. After all the busy work, Chenpi finally calmed down and looked around the yard carefully.

A small plot of land opposite the gate was planted with vegetables, some of which had already sprouted. Under the porch of the main house, a few pots of flowers were in full bloom. Although the owner was not at home, there were only a few fallen leaves in the yard, which was clean and tidy.

"Miss, uncle, this yard is small, but it looks really nice."

"Don't just stand there, clean the room and move the things in." Banxia was already drawing water from the well.

"Okay." Chenpi ran over.

"You live in that room and clean and tidy it up yourself." Banxia pointed to Nanxing's original room.

"Ah."

Ding Xirui opened all the doors and windows, and Lin Mingxuan took rags, brooms, and towels from the warehouse and distributed them to everyone. After about half an hour, the work in the house and the yard was done, and several people sat in the corridor, poured water, and took a short rest.

"Young Madam, let's go buy some groceries. It's our turn to cook." Banxia said.

"Okay." Ding Xirui nodded, "Let's go after we finish drinking the water."

"Hmm?" Chen Pi was puzzled. "Banxia, ​​you are so useless. Why do you let the young lady cook?"

The other three burst out laughing.

"Chenpi, in this family, everyone has to cook, wash clothes, boil water, sweep the floor, feed the horses... and everyone has their own division of labor." Ding Xirui said, pointing to the wall next to the main door.

On the wall, there is the "duty roster" for August.

Chenpi walked over and looked it over from top to bottom, becoming even more confused.

"Uncle, can you and Nanxing cook?"

"I didn't know how to do it at first, but I can learn. Although I can't cook big dishes now, I have no problem making daily side dishes." Lin Mingxuan said with a smile.

Ding Xirui and Banxia gave him approving looks.

"Nanxing can do it too?" Chenpi widened his eyes.

"Yes, the wraps made with tangerine peel are delicious." Ding Xirui said.

"The soy milk he grinds is also good." Banxia added.

"Then I can't give up. I want to learn too." Chenpi was immediately inspired.

"No problem." Lin Mingxuan patted his shoulder.

Ding Xirui straightened his face and continued:

"Chenpi, this time, we will stay in Lan County until the end of September. During the Double Ninth Festival, we will go to Canghe Village to meet up with Chenxiang and the others. You will take over Nanxing's job and do housework at home. When you arrive at the clinic, you will help your son-in-law. You know about medicinal herbs, so you should be able to learn quickly."

"Yeah." Chenpi nodded heavily.

After the basics were introduced, the group walked to the market with baskets to buy vegetables: cabbage, tofu, lean meat, carrots, eggs, and onions, ginger, and garlic, enough for one or two days.

"Chenpi, do you remember the way? When it's our turn to cook next time, we can come here to buy vegetables." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Yes, son-in-law, I remember it." Chenpi looked back again and counted on his fingers silently.

"However, we don't come here from home very often. We basically come from the direction of the clinic." Ding Xirui added.

"It's over there." Banxia pointed to the south, "Wait until I bring you here tomorrow, and you'll know."

"it is good."

A few people left the market and went to the grain store to buy millet. At the entrance of the grain store, a sign saying "New Rice" was already hung.

A Rong was very happy to see Ding Xirui and others coming. When he was about to say hello, he felt pain in his mouth and his expression suddenly became distorted.

"Arong, what's wrong with you?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"Doctor Lin, I seem to have a fever. My gums were swollen after I got up yesterday. It seems to be even worse today. It hurts a little when I open my mouth."

"Open your mouth, let me see."

"Ah."

A Rong sat on the bench and opened his mouth. Lin Mingxuan pinched his chin and looked at him for a few seconds. Ding Xirui also looked at him.

"Arong, did you eat a lot of meat during the festival?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Doctor Ding, how do you know?" A Rong scratched his head.

"Did you eat a lot of mooncakes?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Yes, the boss gave it to me. Mid-Autumn Festival only comes once a year, so I ate more." A Rong smiled.

"Eating too much meat, sugar and oil has caused me to get a sore throat," said Lin Mingxuan.

"Ah~ I really don't have good taste."

"Everything should be done in moderation. Excessive amounts can easily lead to problems. Eat lighter foods, drink more water, and you'll be fine in a few days." Lin Mingxuan continued.

"Okay, thank you Doctor Lin." A Rong bowed.

Lin Mingxuan paused and spoke again:

"If you find it unbearable, go to the medicine store and get some honeysuckle and soak it in water. It may help."

"honeysuckle?"

"Yes. You can buy one and it won't cost you much. You can drink it for two or three days."

"Yes, thank you." A Rong bowed again.

Ding Xirui smiled and looked at Banxia and the others. It turned out that there is no wasted journey in life.

A few people bought millet and were about to turn back when Ding Xirui stopped. She turned around and asked:

"Arong, is there anything going on with 'White Tea' recently?"

A Rong frowned slightly:

"Doctor Ding, I don't know what happened to that family. The government came to their door this morning."
