Title: Shaking Hands and Making Peace

Summary: After quitting, I stopped drinking alcohol.

I cooked the porridge, divided it into bowls, and put it on the stone table in the courtyard.After Qi Jin finished eating the porridge, he said, "Will you eat my wine?" Shi Mu said, "Eat." I brought Shi Mu an empty bowl from the kitchen.Qi Jin asked, "Li Ping, don't you eat anything?"

I waved my hand and explained the reason: "After Wei Yan passed away, I was addicted to alcohol. After quitting, I stopped drinking at all."

"Love love, it's really distressing." Qi Jin commented while holding up the wine jar and pouring wine, "Li Ping, but you have something else wrong." He came to feel my veins with his left hand, "This way of breaking the meridians Domineering and familiar."

I couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Qi, you taught me this trick."

"Hey," Qi Jin said, "I don't remember. Who did you plant 'symbiosis' with to save your life?"

I said, "Follow Shen Lian."

He threw away the wine jar, with great ambitions: "I have to go to Kazakhstan after a while to find out the God of Dionysus! If I can't try the effect of 'previous dust', I will be uneasy when I think about it later. God of Dionysus, God of Dionysus! Look how much wine he can drink..."

I said, "Xu Heng, the god of wine, is a woman. If she doesn't eat, you should feed her less."

"Woman?" Qi Jin was taken aback, "I acquiesced that Dionysus is a man."

"What a woman." Shi Mu said after finishing his bowl of wine.

After drinking, Qi Jin went back.I was sweeping the broken pieces of the wine jar in the courtyard, Shi Mu asked: "Sleeping on the right side?" I said: "The right side is the other person's room, I feel sorry for you and I sleeping in the middle bedroom." It used to be.

He went in and took a look and said, "I'm not wronged. It's spacious." After sweeping the debris, I went back to the kitchen to boil hot water: "If you're hot, you can dig a well in the courtyard and take a shower. You martial arts practitioners are not afraid of the cold."

So at night I took a hot shower and he took a cold shower.I slept in the bedroom of Hemu Medical Center again, but the people around me were different.

On May [-]th of the eighth year of Yongxi, I threw away the rotten herbs in the front shop.In the afternoon, I picked up my small back basket and said to Shi Mu: "I'll go to the city and order herbs again from the medicinal material dealer and five known herbal collectors." He said, "I'll go to Chang'an to divide the altar." I went out in two separate directions .

Passing by the candied fruit shop in Donghuamen, I couldn’t help but go in and take out a copper coin: “Here’s a [-]-cent marzipan.” The clerk took it and said, “Okay.” He handed me a paper bag of marzipan.I filled the basket with vegetables and meat, and when I passed by the store, there were green leaves on the pavement and shouted: "Good locust leaves! The newly picked tender locust leaves are sold out!" I said: "Here is a bunch. "The stall owner said: "Ten coins!" I paid the copper coin, and he tied it with a straw rope and put it in my back basket.I asked: "Is there any small wood that is not used?" The stall owner took out a machete from under the stall, looked left and right, quickly turned around and cut off a willow branch, and said, "Here." Let’s go.” He peeled it off and threw it into my back basket.

On the way back, I met Yan Butou, who was on patrol, and I said, "Come to my house for dinner tonight. There are pagoda leaves to be washed cold." He said, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to my wife."

At the gate of the hospital, two boys were arguing.Shi Mu watched with relish on the threshold of the medical hall.One is about 13 years old and is a young boy, and the other is five or six years old and is still a boy.The young boy said: "Huzi, what's wrong with you drawing? Why do you have to scribble on my book? Dad just bought the book for me to use in the imperial school." Huzi said stiffly: "I The paintings are all painted! It looks so old, who would have thought it was a new old book bought by Daddy!" The quiet woman with her hair in a bun came out from the next door, pulled him apart with each hand, and said to the little boy: "God, My brother is still young, so don't argue with him. When your father comes back from Zhaoyi Prefecture in the middle of the country, he will buy you new books when he has money." Gouzi ran back to the room angrily.The woman took Huzi by the hand and said softly, "Huzi, this is Dr. Li Ping from next door. Call someone quickly." Huzi stared at the paper bag in my hand and shouted, "Hello, Doctor Li!"

I knelt down and gave Huzi a handful of marzipan.Huzi said politely: "Thank you, Doctor Li!" I couldn't help pinching his chubby face.Sang Lan said, "Will Dr. Li come back to reopen the clinic?" I said, "Yes." She said, "Catcher Yan often comes to take care of you."

I asked, "When did you move back?" She said, "My father and mother passed away the year before last, so I moved back with my husband and children." I asked, "Is it troublesome for a dog to enter the imperial school?" She nodded: "My husband After entrusting many people, he was admitted to the Taixue. But there is no way for him to make a bright future. Like you did to Shen Lian back then. Dr. Li, where is your Wei Yan?"

It seems that if you are asked a few times, you will get used to it.I said, "Oh, I passed away." She said, "I'm sorry." I said, "It's okay. Neighbors will help each other in the future." She said, "Well, I'm going back to the house first." She replied Room.

I went to the entrance of the medical center, opened the front shop and asked Shi Mu: "You come back first. Did you turn into the courtyard again?"

"Yeah." Shi Mu and I entered the courtyard together and said, "Take Chu Ming and enter the courtyard." I said, "I'll get you a set of keys when I go back."

Chu Ming was wandering around the vines in the yard.He said: "I just heard that the Hemu Medical Center has reopened, so I came here to find you for a meal."

I said: "Well, wait a moment. The grapes are not ripe, don't pick them." Shi Mu followed me into the kitchen and unloaded the small basket.I handed him the piece of willow wood: "Please cut it into the shape of a fish." When I looked for the knife and turned around, he used his finger as the blade and had already cut a rough shape.I said: "I forgot that you are so good at martial arts that you don't need a knife." I took out the bowl and pounded the locust leaves into juice.He asked, "Wooden fish?" I said, "That's a fish talisman. Fish means healing. I learned it at the Xinglin Guangyi Museum in Yutan City. After you cut it, hang it on the other side of the gourd in the front shop. I wish the patients who come to Hemu Medical Center heal from all diseases." He said: "It's good." When I rolled the noodles with locust leaf juice and noodles, he flashed out: "Go and hang." I put the noodles into the pot, and the other Mutton meat is used to make water basin mutton, and fish meat is used to make red meat.Master used to love to eat red qiufu, and I haven't made it since he passed away.

After the noodles were cooked, I picked up a small pot and put them in a small pot. When I got to the courtyard, someone asked, "Chu Ming, why are you here?"

Chu Ming still talked a lot: "Yan Butou, I'm here to eat. Don't you too?" I put the small pot in the bucket and dipped it into the well.I greeted Shi Mu: "Go to the kitchen and bring the basin of mutton and red meat to the stone table." Shi Mu served it, and also took four sets of empty bowls and chopsticks.

Yan Butou sat on the stone bench and asked, "Chu Ming, why did you run back to Chang'an City from your hometown in Liangzhou?" Chu Ming said, "Although the leaves are falling back to their roots, Liangzhou is still not as prosperous as Chang'an. I still want to stay in Chang'an."

I lifted the small pot and put it on the stone table.Yan Butou asked: "You are not afraid that I will escort you to the Yamen." Chu Ming said: "Hey, Li Ping told me that Mrs. Liu Wu is missing, and you have not established a murder case." Yan Butou sighed: "Even if some cases are solved, the murderer cannot be caught." I sat next to Shi Mu and asked, "Chu Ming, do you still live in the old house?" Hemu Medical Center? If you want, I will move here." Shi Mu also picked out noodles and said, "You, don't come." I said, "Aren't you afraid that Liu Wu's body was released in your hospital?" Chu Ming said: "If you don't do something unconscionable, you won't be afraid." Yan Butou said: "Then what do you do for a living now?" Chu Ming said: "My reputation is only to continue to cure diseases." Yan Butou said: "Return to the old business .”

Chu Ming said: "Although I am notorious, can I make friends with Yan Butou?"

"I have already eaten at the same table with you, what do you think?" Chu Ming and Yan Butou finally shook hands and made peace.Yan Tutou ate a chopstick of pagoda leaves, and said: "It's unique. When Li Ping is away, I miss your craftsmanship the most."

Shi Mu said, "It's cool." I said, "Why hasn't the red curds been touched on the plate? I haven't done it for many years." Chu Ming said, "The red curds are piled up to a foot high. The strands are Hongsi, I dare not touch you." I said, "Use chopsticks to press down on it." Shi Mu took the lead in pressing down with chopsticks, and the red chest became three to four cents high.Shi Mu removed the chopsticks, and the red silk returned to a height of one foot.Shi Mu said: "It's strange." I laughed: "You can eat it between sandwiches. It's made of fish. I saw peony pearl fatty fish before in the south, but there is no fatty fish for sale in Chang'an City, otherwise I would like to try it." Let's do it." The four opened their chopsticks one after another.After eating two chopsticks, Shi Mu repeated inexplicably: "Peony, pearl, fat fish." Then he buried his head and continued eating.

In the evening, I gave Shi Mu a set of keys to the hospital.After the medicinal materials were ready, I dyed my hair back to black, and the medical center reopened.The number of patients is the same as before, enough to maintain the life of wealthy households in Caoshi Town.

But in the past, no one has been able to find a volunteer to try.
