[Rebirth] Medical Family
Work related
, but the village chief is the village party secretary and the village chief by himself, and he still has connections in the county government. If we offend him so much, if he causes trouble in the future..."
Lu Jingnian comforted him: "We have something against him, if he still dares to target us, we will report him directly to the higher authorities, and he will be imprisoned even if he is a village cadre. I think he is even more afraid of us now." real."
"……hope so."
☆, a few home-cooked dishes
After returning home, Ou Zixi went directly to make lunch. The two of them didn't have enough to eat yesterday. They just bought two buns on the street in the morning. What's more, they have to take care of the meals for the three recruited workers today. , so Ou Zixi decided to do more this meal. Originally, he still complained about Lu Jingnian's behavior of spending a lot of money to hire people, but today he was scolded by the third uncle, and he and Village Chief Wang had completely lost face. He suddenly felt that he would feel more at ease when someone showed him the medicine field.
Lu Jingnian had nothing to do, so he followed him to the kitchen to help, but his only job was to wash the dishes for Ou Zixi, pass the bowls and chopsticks to clean the pot, and he couldn't even do the seemingly simple tasks of cutting vegetables, he was not good at knives, The cut vegetables were either too thin or too thick for their appearance and taste. After he tried it twice, Ou Zixi let him aside in disgust.
The three dishes Ou Zixi cooked today are all home-cooked dishes. One is fried pork with chili peppers. The green fresh hot peppers are still dripping with dew. The next door Aunt Wang just picked them from the field this morning and sent them over. Medium-fat, cut into thin slices for easy taste, put oil in the pan, fry the onion, garlic, ginger and the slightly fatter meat picked out, then pour in lean meat and chopped peppers and stir-fry over high heat, add Seasoning sauce, and soon, a simple but fragrant chili fried pork came out of the pan.
Lu Jingnian tasted the chopsticks, the meat was tender and tasty, with moderate spiciness, it was indeed an excellent dish for dinner.
"Don't you thicken and marinate the meat before making this dish?"
Ou Zixi shook his head: "The more complicated it is, the less flavorful it will be. The key to making this dish is to control the heat, without the thickening and marinating you said, the flavor will go in and the meat won't be old."
The second dish is Mapo Tofu. The tofu is made by Ou Zixi himself. It is tender and soft, and has an excellent taste. The extra meat from the previous dish is finely ground and refined into minced meat. He made it by himself. The red oil is spicy and fragrant. The stewed tofu is sprinkled with fresh chopped green onion. It is fresh and green, suitable for red and white. Crisp, it melts when you touch your teeth. Even if you don't eat it, just smelling the aroma is enough to make your index finger move.
"Smells so good~" Lu Jingnian sighed sincerely.
Ou Zixi explained: "Minced beef is the most delicious to make mapo tofu, but the previous dish was pork. Pork is cold in nature, and beef has a sweet and warm smell. It conflicts with the taste of warm and cold food. It is best not to eat it." eat together."
Lu Jingnian nodded, he didn't know so much about it, but he just thought it was delicious enough to make it with pork, and it was thanks to the little doctor's skill.
The last dish is simple stir-fried cabbage. The dish is fresh cabbage with white stalks, thick body and firm but not soft. Tear off one by one with your hands, fry the stalks first, and then add the leaves when they are eighty mature. Stir-fry, I use lard squeezed from fatty meat, which is more fragrant. The vegetables are not fried in the pot for too long, and the pot is ready after a few times. It is crisp and refreshing with a touch of fresh sweetness.
Because there were a lot of people eating, each dish was full of portion, after that, Ou Zixi made a simple hometown egg soup, and said to Lu Jingnian: "I'm going to deliver the food first, look at the casserole, I boiled it for the afternoon Soup, turn down the heat in another 10 minutes."
Ou Zixi first sent the food to the three workers who lived in the back mountain. Lu Jingnian lifted the lid of the pot, and it was Bazhen Chicken Soup for his body. According to Ou Zixi, there were yellow hen, pork belly, fish belly, pork, And pork bone, also added eight herbs such as codonopsis, Yunling, Atractylodes macrocephala, white peony root, angelica, rehmannia glutinosa, roasted licorice and Chuanxiong. It is said to be a medicinal soup for nourishing blood and nourishing qi. It's tempting, although it hasn't been boiled yet, Lu Jingnian thought it was for himself anyway, so he secretly took a bite with chopsticks, the meat tasted very delicious, and the soup was slightly bitter and sweet, but it was actually very mellow.
When Ou Zixi came back from delivering the food, he saw that he was stealing food again, he shook his head helplessly, thinking that this person might not have had a good life before, right?Otherwise how could be so greedy.
Of course, if the little doctor knew that someone was actually the young master who was born in the richest family in the provincial capital, he would have to suspect that his parents had picked him up and the family had embezzled him.
Lu Jingnian smiled at him with some embarrassment: "Is the food delivered?"
Ou Zixi nodded: "Let's eat quickly, I told them that we will start working in an hour, and I will go to the field to teach them how to collect those Sanqi."
But Lu Jingnian laughed, and asked him: "Little doctor, you are so good at cooking, and you are also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, why don't you just go to the city and open a medicated restaurant? The business will definitely be good."
Ou Zixi listened, thought for a while, and replied, "Then what about the medicine in my medicine field?"
"Please take care of it."
"...Forget it, I like this place better."
He said that Lu Jingnian had nothing to say, although he didn't think there was anything good about this village, the folk customs were not simple and full of troublesome people, and it was far away from the city, but the little doctor thought differently from ordinary people. He only asks for three meals, food and clothing, and nothing to contend with. He doesn't seem to have much interest in making a lot of money, and he just makes a suggestion, and he can't force him to do anything.
In the afternoon, Lu Jingnian followed Ou Zixi to the medicine field and watched him carefully explain the essentials of digging Panax notoginseng to the three workers. The three of them were honest farmers. The work in the hospital was also done from childhood to adulthood, and Ou Zixi was relieved when he saw that they got started quickly and did not ruin the medicine again.
Of course, although Lu Jingnian advised him not to go to the fields himself, Ou Zixi still couldn't take it easy. He still insisted on cleaning up those acres of destroyed land by himself.
Lu Jingnian's legs and feet are inconvenient. Yesterday he felt uncomfortable when he squatted down to help Ou Zixi with a few hours of work. Now he doesn't feel sorry for himself. He just stood aside and watched, and talked to him by the way: "Little doctor , does that barren mountain in front belong to your village too?"
Ou Zixi raised his head and looked in the direction of his finger. There was indeed a mountain not far in front of him. There were two undulating hills, and he had to cross a small river to get there. The back mountain was not as high and steep as this one, and the area seemed larger. Some, looking at it is bare and uninhabited.
Ou Zixi glanced at it, then lowered his head and resumed his work, and answered him casually: "The hill on the left is used for burying people in the village. The tiger head was buried there, and my father was also buried on that hill."
"What about the one on the right?"
"barren mountain."
Before the sun set, Village Chief Wang came over again. Ou Zixi didn't notice while working in the medicine field, but Lu Jingnian, who was sitting on the edge of the field and dozed off, saw him first. Seeing him hesitating and hesitating, he finally smiled , got up kindly and walked towards him.
"The village chief came to see Zixi again, is there something wrong?"
Village head Wang glanced at the three workers working in the medicine field, frowned and asked, "Where did they come from? Outsiders can't just live in the village."
"Come up to collect medicines in the city," Lu Jingnian added with a smile as he said, "If someone destroys the fields again, or someone with a heart sees that the medicinal materials are easy to sell and comes to steal the medicines, then we will talk to the pharmaceutical factory If you can't deliver the goods, you will lose a lot. Besides, they live on the back mountain side and don't go into the village. It's not a violation of your rules. Although Village Chief Wang is the village chief and party secretary of this small village, But it seems that whichever family takes in a guest, it is absolutely reasonable to put it anywhere, and you can't use your so-called rules to interfere."
The village head pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words, turned his eyes away, and after a while, lowered his voice in embarrassment: "The thing I said this morning... what do you guys want?"
"That..." Lu Jingnian tilted his head, glanced at Ou Zixi, who was squatting in the field with his back to them, concentrating on his work, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "In the future, you can't make trouble for Zixi, and take care of the people in your village." Those other people don't come to trouble Zixi anymore, and you can call the drug factory later, and confirm with them that Zixi will handle the sale of medicinal materials in person in the future, and ask them to send the deposit as soon as possible, so that we can forget about it Don't worry, Zixi didn't intend to completely tear your face off with you and make everyone look bad."
"really?"
"Of course it is true," Lu Jingnian said, "But there is one condition."
Looking at the almost malicious smile in his eyes, the village chief asked vigilantly, "What else?"
Lu Jingnian pouted in the direction of the barren hill that Ou Zixi mentioned before, and asked Village Chief Wang: "Is that also the land of the village?"
"……Yes."
"Anyway, it's a pity to leave it abandoned. How about subcontracting it to Zixi?"
"No!" Village Chief Wang turned pale with fright, and refused him without even thinking about it: "It's a geomantic treasure land reserved for the villagers to use as cemeteries, how can they be contracted out casually?! Absolutely not!"
Lu Jingnian smiled disapprovingly: "Aren't your graves all on the left hill? I only want the right half."
"That won't work either!" Village Chief Wang said bluntly, "When the mountain on the left is full, move to the right. That mountain is reserved, and it is impossible to contract it out!"
"Forget it then." Lu Jingnian's expression turned pale, "Tomorrow Zixi and I will go to town..."
"I can't be the master!" Village Chief Wang interrupted him through gritted teeth: "The land doesn't belong to me alone, it belongs to the whole village. It doesn't mean that you can contract it if you want!"
But Lu Jingnian laughed again: "Zixi's household registration is with his grandma's, which is the household registration of your village. It's no problem to contract your land. Village Chief Wang, you are so capable, you must have a way to persuade those villagers of."
"I can't..."
"You have it." Lu Jingnian interrupted him with a smile.
Village Chief Wang was so angry that he wanted to punch him, he finally came to his senses at this moment, Ou Zixi found a smart person from the city to help him, he was no longer the naive doctor who just let himself open his mouth and coaxed him to believe up.
In the end, Village Chief Wang had no choice but to let him report the crime and end up in jail, so he could only grit his teeth and agree: "I will figure out a way, but this matter won't happen all at once. of……"
"Within two months, Village Chief Wang, please help us settle this matter." Lu Jingnian smiled softly and harmlessly, but put forward conditions with him bluntly.
Village head Wang ignored him, turned around and left.
Lu Jingnian raised his voice and shouted from behind: "The village chief remembers to call the pharmaceutical factory and ask them to pay the deposit as soon as possible."
Village Chief Wang quickened his pace.
And Ou Zixi was also standing up at this time, seeing the back of Village Chief Wang striding away in anger from a distance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Lu Jingnian suspiciously: "Did the village chief come just now? What did you say? "
"It's nothing." Lu Jingnian put a hand on his shoulder: "The sun has set, let's go home, I'm hungry."
"..." Ou Zixi was speechless: "Then go back."
Lu Jingnian happily snapped his fingers and went home~
☆, Chicken Soup with Bazhen Belly
After returning home, the pot of Bazhen Chicken Soup that had been simmering slowly since noon was ready. Ou Zixi brought the casserole to the table in the kitchen and said to Lu Jingnian, "Drink the soup first, I'll Let's cook other dishes."
Open the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma comes out. The soup looks more yellowish than when it was not fully boiled at noon. The bitterness of the original medicinal materials is covered, and the addition of red dates enhances the freshness and sweetness.
The chicken is delicious, the taste is crisp and tender, the entrance is full of juice, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, the pork belly and fish belly are crispy and smooth, crisp but not rotten and elastic. Every side dish makes Lu Jingnian love it. After a while, a big pot Half of the soup was eaten.
While cooking, Ou Zixi turned to look at him and asked, "Does it taste good?"
"Not bad, what's the name of this soup?"
"Bazhen Belly Chicken Soup, nourishes qi and blood, nourishes your body." Ou Zixi answered him casually.
"Oh..." Lu Jingnian dragged his voice, but suddenly raised the phone in his hand, facing the screen at him, and said with a smile: "But the boss said that this soup is suitable for men with dizziness and limbs caused by frequent incidents. It is a good product for replenishing essence and strengthening yang for weakness, fatigue, sore waist and knees, impotence, etc."
Ou Zixi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his ears turned red with embarrassment: "That...that's it, but, it's not..."
Lu Jingnian was so amused by his reaction that he burst out laughing with a "puchi", and couldn't help teasing him: "Little doctor, have you ever drank this soup yourself?"
Asked by him with a narrow smile in his eyes, Ou Zixi became more and more at a loss, his eyes flickered here and there but he didn't know where to put it, Lu Jingnian couldn't stop laughing secretly, the little doctor turned out to be not only innocent but also very innocent.
So I can't help but sigh again, I really don't know how his parents raised him, so that he can be raised like this.
Lu Jingnian hooked his hands at him, and Ou Zixi took a step forward without knowing why, but Lu Jingnian grabbed his hand firmly and sat down on the chair: "The soup you made is so delicious, it would be a waste if you don't try it yourself. , and I can't drink so much."
"I don't need to make up..."
"It's not too much to make up for," Lu Jingnian said logically, and immediately filled him with a bowl of soup, put it in front of him, and looked at him with a smile: "Drink it."
"..." It's nothing to drink soup, but Lu Jingnian's eyes are full of jokes and narrow-mindedness, which can even be regarded as a slightly obscene smile, but it really makes Ou Zixi uncomfortable. He has always been thin-skinned. It's even redder.
"Drink."
Under his repeated urging, Ou Zixi still took a few sips of the soup. It wasn't because he was too shy, but the more relaxed he was, the happier Lu Jingnian laughed. In the end, it was Ou Zixi who wanted to hide himself. Uncomfortable and impolite rolling eyes.
So the smile on Lu Jingnian's face got bigger, and he asked him: "Little doctor, have you ever been in love before? Could it be that you haven't even held a little girl's hand before?"
"I have a marriage contract." Ou Zixi decided not to argue with him, and answered his words calmly.
"Engagement?" Thinking back, it seemed that someone had heard that the young doctor had a fiancée yesterday, but Lu Jingnian was a little curious: "You got engaged when you were only in your early twenties?"
"Grandma and third uncle ordered it."
"Baby dear?" Lu Jingnian understood: "Then you like her?"
"I like it." Ou Zixi didn't think much about it. To him, marriage was nothing more than a matchmaker's words and his parents' orders. , as far as he himself is concerned, he is still very satisfied.
Lu Jingnian was surprised that Ou Zixi answered so bluntly. Although he couldn't imagine what kind of woman Ou Zixi would like, he found it boring for a while, so he stopped talking.
After dinner, Ou Zixi went to the pharmacy to fiddle with his medicinal materials, and the ruined notoginseng could be collected and ground into powder for personal use, while Lu Jingnian went back to his room to watch TV.
There was a boring [-] o'clock TV show on the TV. Lu Jingnian watched it absent-mindedly, but he was completely lacking in interest. From time to time, he glanced at the lighted room diagonally opposite the window, always thinking about what Ou Zixi was doing right now. What, when will I go back to my room to sleep.
Then he reacted belatedly, it seemed a little abnormal that he cared so much about Ou Zixi?
After nine o'clock, the lights in the pharmacy finally went out, Lu Jingnian stood up abruptly, without even realizing what he wanted to do, he had already moved out the door on crutches.
Pushing open the door, Ou Zixi was also coming out of the pharmacy, he seemed surprised to see him standing by the door in a daze, and walked over: "What are you doing standing here?"
Facing Ou Zixi's suspicious and innocent eyes, Lu Jingnian was extremely embarrassed for a moment, and after a long while, he asked nana, "Do you want to sleep?"
After I finished speaking, I felt that my question was really stupid enough.
"Isn't it already past nine o'clock?"
"Oh, by the way, I just received a text message from the bank that the deposit of 3 yuan from the pharmaceutical factory has arrived," Lu Jingnian said as he turned over the text message on his mobile phone and showed him: "Look, the one who just arrived .”
Ou Zixi nodded: "Thank you."
Then she was about to turn around and go back to her room, but Lu Jingnian grabbed her wrist, Ou Zixi looked at him with some surprise: "What's wrong?"
Realizing his gaffe, Lu Jingnian hurriedly let go of his hand in embarrassment: "It's only past nine o'clock, it's summer now so don't you need to go to bed so early?"
"..."
"watch TV?"
Ou Zixi was noncommittal, and after a while, he pouted at the door of the room where he lived, and walked over first.
Speaking of watching TV, Lu Jingnian was not interested in that at all, but Ou Zixi never moved his eyes from the TV screen after he sat on the sofa, even though he couldn't understand much of the love, hate and hatred in it. , while Lu Jingnian, for most of the time, his gaze fell on his side face, and he didn't know where his thoughts went.
Half an hour later, except for the people in the TV drama who were still noisily performing their joys and sorrows, the two people in the room hadn't spoken again. Lu Jingnian felt a little unhappy, coughed twice, and finally caught Ou Zixi's attention.
Seeing his gaze turned to himself, Lu Jingnian hurriedly said, "Sit on the bed, yours is too close to the TV, you will damage your eyes." Saying so, he patted the bed next to him, staring helplessly. Looking at Ou Zixi.
Ou Zixi undoubtedly had him, so he changed from the sofa to sit next to him. Lu Jingnian saw that he had changed into a long robe after taking a shower, reached out and pinched his waist, and asked him with a curious smile when Ou Zixi frowned: "Wear this dress?" interesting?"
"Comfortable."
Ou Zixi didn't even raise his eyelids, and stared at the TV intently. The play just now was over, and another one was changed. It was a Tang Dynasty play. Lu Jingnian watched him seriously, but he had nothing to say. Ask him, "Did you enjoy watching this?"
"It's a bit absurd, but it's okay to watch as a play."
Lu Jingnian didn't quite understand what he was referring to when he said something absurd, and seeing that he had no interest in talking to him at all, he had no choice but to shut up.
Another hour later, Ou Zixi, who had been fighting unconsciously against the bedside eyelids for a long time, finally closed his eyes completely. Lu Jingnian turned off the TV with the remote control, and lightly pushed Ou Zixi's arm, seeing that he was only slightly flattened. His mouth didn't wake up, but he thought it was very interesting to put this little trick on him.
So instead of waking him up, he supported him and let him lie down slowly, Ou Zixi didn't intend to wake up at all, pulled the thin quilt over him, and Lu Jingnian leaned aside, quietly watching him fall asleep Afterwards, with her quiet sleeping face, she couldn't help reaching out and touching it.
The touch is still very good, the little doctor is obviously in his twenties, his skin is the same as that of a teenager, and looking at his white neck looming between the collar of his long robe with one button unbuttoned, with a grunt, Lu Jingnian returned When she was in a daze, she realized that she was like a wretched uncle, watching him quietly swallowing her saliva.
I don't know if it was caused by the bowl of soup, but Lu Jingnian felt that his whole body was hot and unbearable. Ou Zixi in front of him was obviously wearing a long gown, but he looked at him with an indescribable sense of temptation, far more than those who took the initiative. It is much more attractive to fall in love with men and women who are hot or sexy.
That's right, he is bisexual, and he is not a good person. There are not a few men and women who have hooked up with them before. Almost all of them were sent away with money for fun. There are also fiancees who have been with him since childhood for the sake of family interests. Growing up, I knew his nature clearly, and I had told him a long time ago about a formal marriage, pretending to be affectionate in front of others, and playing with each other in the future. He is someone he has always trusted, and he was also one of the people who betrayed him in the end.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingnian couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed. The little doctor beside him was different from all the people he had known before. Ou Zixi, who lived in his own world without competing with the world, really brought him a lot of freshness. , and this little doctor is too simple, almost completely ignorant of world affairs, but because of this, while attracting Lu Jingnian, for the first time, it made him feel that these thoughts he gave birth to were a bit dirty.
So in the end, Lu Jingnian didn't have the nerve to put his hands on Ou Zixi, but instead turned his back and forced himself to close his eyes, trying to ignore those restless thoughts, and slowly fell asleep.
☆, skin care cream
In the hot weather, Lu Jingnian stood under the big tree beside the field to block the sun, sweating profusely, although he had a fan in his hand, it felt like all the hot air came out from the fan, making him feel sticky and uncomfortable.
Of course, he was more tormented than the scorching hot weather.
Wearing a straw hat, Ou Zixi was still directing the workers to collect the medicines in the medicine field. Lu Jingnian's eyes flicked past him from time to time, thinking of his increasingly awkward and uncomfortable thoughts in the past two days, he was a little bit unwilling for a while.
In the past, when he fell in love with someone, he would take the initiative to throw himself into his arms and give him a hug without hooking his fingers. How could he be as helpless as the innocent boy when he first fell in love like this time.
Just when Lu Jingnian was thinking about going back and forgetting about it, a girl in a short skirt appeared on the path on the other side of the medicine field. Before Lu Jingnian came back to his senses, the girl had already run to Behind Ou Zixi, gigglingly jumped onto Ou Zixi's back who was facing her, and covered Ou Zixi's eyes with his hands.
Ou Zixi subconsciously supported her body with his backhand, and when the girl deliberately squeezed his throat to ask him to guess who she was, he also cooperated with the expression of distress on the ground: "Xiao Hua? Lily? Second sister?"
He said the names of the little girls in the neighborhood, and the person on his back laughed and jumped off him: "Hey! It's me!"
In fact, Ou Zixi had already guessed who it was, and turned his head to look at her with a smile on his face: "Why did you come back early?"
"I miss you and come back soon."
Lu Jingnian looked at the scene where the two were making out with each other, thinking that this was the first time he had seen Ou Zixi laughing so heartily, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, so he walked up to Ou Zixi and asked, "Is this... ...?"
Ou Zixi took advantage of the situation and introduced to him: "She is Xiaoqing, the granddaughter of the third uncle."
Sure enough, it was Ou Zixi's fiancée who had engaged in baby marriage. Lu Jingnian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the little girl in front of him. She looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. She was dressed very fashionable, with big permed, wavy hair, and light makeup on her face. , completely urbanized, she really doesn't look like the girl in this country at all.
Ou Zixi also introduced Lu Jingnian to her, and of course he was talking about his cousin from the city.
Wang Xiaoqing held Ou Zixi's arm with a smile, and greeted him: "When I came just now, I heard from my grandfather that Zixi's cousin is here, and I said I would come to see him quickly."
Then she called out to Lu Jingnian very familiarly: "Hello, cousin."
Lu Jingnian twitched the corners of his lips in an unembarrassed manner. He didn't have any affection for this "cousin-in-law" who appeared out of nowhere, especially when she heard her name Ou Zixi so affectionately.
Because of Wang Xiaoqing's appearance, Ou Zixi simply went home after explaining the work in the medicine field. Ignore it, but this girl left her burden as soon as she came, and she couldn't help feeling unhappy, but she couldn't say anything, she could only follow along disgruntled.
Ou Zixi went to cook lunch, and Wang Xiaoqing helped him, one of them cut vegetables and the other prepared the ingredients, talking and laughing, the one who felt that there was a little extra was unwilling to leave, and forced himself into the kitchen, just by the table Sit down, can't talk to but refuse to leave.
Ou Zixi and Wang Xiaoqing were talking about interesting things in the village, but Wang Xiaoqing suddenly changed the subject and asked him casually: "I heard from grandpa that you asked the village head to contact the pharmaceutical factory in the city to sell medicines." Come back and do it yourself later?"
"Um……"
Ou Zixi nodded casually, seemingly completely unaware of her intention in asking this question. On the contrary, Lu Jingnian looked at her with a curious expression and keenly felt that she was not just asking casually.
Wang Xiaoqing asked him again: "Zixi, those medicines you grow can sell for a lot of money, right?"
"It's pretty good." Ou Zixi told the truth without doubting him, "This time, the batch of Panax notoginseng can sell for 10,000+."
Wang Xiaoqing was obviously surprised when she heard that her eyes widened slightly: "There are so many?"
"It's quite a lot." Ou Zixi smiled, a little relieved, anyway, it's good to have more money, and he can buy more medicinal materials he wants in the future.
"That's it..." Wang Xiaoqing sighed inexplicably, and looked away, but thoughtfully.
Lu Jingnian shook his head, the little doctor is really too innocent, even the old man has confessed to others before he got married.
An hour later, the food was on the table. The stewed beef with yam made by Ou Zixi was delicious, soft but not rotten and plump and juicy. It was a pity that Lu Jing lost his appetite for the first time in this year. Listening to the two talking beside him.
Wang Xiaoqing was picking up vegetables for Ou Zixi, and said to him with a smile: "Zixi, the mask and face cream that you gave me with Chinese medicine last time are quite useful. Do you think my skin is much better?"
As Wang Xiaoqing said, she moved her face closer to Ou Zixi, motioning him to look, and Lu Jingnian also raised her eyes to take a look. This little girl is not very old, her complexion is fair, and there is really no blemish on her face.
Wang Xiaoqing continued: "I took it to the factory for others to try. One of my roommates used it and his acne-prone face healed. Those workers asked me to buy it from you and asked how you got it. It’s much better than those expensive skin care products on the market.”
"You don't need to buy it," Ou Zixi replied indifferently: "If you want me to tune some more for you, you can just take them and give them to them."
Wang Xiaoqing rolled her eyes when she heard this, and suddenly said: "I only come back once in half a year, and the ones you gave me will be used up in a short time, why don't you give me the formula for this mask and face cream?" , can I make it myself?"
Before Ou Zixi said the word "good", Lu Jingnian spoke first and asked her, "Do you know how to make medicine?"
Wang Xiaoqing didn't expect him to interrupt suddenly, the embarrassment in her eyes was fleeting, and then she smiled again: "Zixi can teach me, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Ou Zixi frowned slightly when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said to her: "Preparing medicine is not such a simple matter, even if I give you a prescription, the effect of different people may be very different..."
"You teach me, even if I study hard, I may not be able to learn." Wang Xiaoqing insisted.
"That's not something you can learn in a short while..."
"I will study hard. Give me the prescription and teach me."
"Aren't you coming back every three festivals a year? Zixi will give you more, and it should be enough for you for three or four months, right?" Lu Jingnian interjected again, interrupting her coquetry: "Why do you have to make trouble by yourself? , there will always be a gap between what you made yourself and what Zixi matched, after all, it is something that is used on the face, so it is not good to be safe? Or are you planning to use your own face as an experiment?"
Lu Jingnian's tone was no longer polite, Wang Xiaoqing bit her lip, and stopped insisting on talking about it.
Afterwards, the meal was a little awkward, and after Wang Xiaoqing went home, Lu Jingnian finally couldn't help asking Ou Zixi: "You don't really intend to give her the prescription, do you?"
"Actually..."
"According to what I know, unless the prescription is a very common one, don't you generally have to keep it secret?"
"That's not a prescription, it's just a cosmeceutical for Xiaoqing's skin care because she said that her skin is not good."
"This kind of thing is more valuable," Lu Jingnian reminded him, "Don't you have to be defensive? Even though she is your fiancée, she hasn't married yet. Don't tell her everything so quickly."
Ou Zixi frowned again. In fact, Lu Jingnian didn't say that he really didn't want to give it to him. It was something he worked hard to make. If Xiaoqing really understood these things, it would be fine, but she had never studied Chinese medicine at all. It's completely nonsense to take the prescription and make it yourself, but it's true that he didn't know how to refuse her for a while.
When Lu Jingnian saw Ou Zixi, he seemed to have listened to his own words, laughed, and asked him again: "Little doctor, speaking of which, I still want to ask you, why are you still studying things for girls?"
"That's the secret medicine of the palace, which is also used by Concubine Yang Gui, do you want it?"
Lu Jingnian was taken aback for a moment, and for the first time, Ou Zixi actually laughed with him, and he laughed when he recovered: "Concubine Yang used it before, haha...that's really attractive..."
Ou Zixi murmured softly: "...what I said is the truth."
Although it's a little embarrassing to say it, because he was young and handsome, he was born with a face like a crown of jade. Before he was a weak crown, he became an imperial doctor in the palace. Well, the medicinal creams developed and formulated were all for their use, so they had a lot of experience in this area. For a while, they were very popular in the palace. Of course, it was also the fuse that directly led to his subsequent guillotine.
But these, he will not just tell Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian said: "I see that your fiancée... has a lot of thoughts."
Ou Zixi looked up at him: "Why do you have so many thoughts?"
"When are you going to get married?"
"Let's wait for her to turn twenty, it will be soon."
Lu Jingnian felt a little uncomfortable, but reminded him: "You told her that your medicine field can make a lot of money. I think she seems to care about these things. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear her in the future."
Ou Zixi shook his head after hearing this: "Xiaoqing is not that kind of person."
☆、Behind the matter
After nearly a week of busy work, no matter whether it was destroyed or surviving Sanqi or other medicinal materials in the twelve acres of land, everything that should be collected was collected. Lu Jingnian paid the money of the three workers, and finally kept The most honest and diligent one came down to negotiate the price, and was still in charge of living in the back mountain to show them the medicine field and work as a long-term worker.
Ou Zixi also let out a long sigh of relief, tidied up the recovered medicinal materials, and hung them all in his yard.
During this period, Wang Xiaoqing came a few more times, and asked him about asking for prescriptions several times in a roundabout way. After asking too many questions, Ou Zixi also sensed that something was wrong with her. The bad side misses her, but she can't guess why she suddenly became interested in the prescription, but no matter what, she still shirks and refuses to give it.
It wasn't that he was reluctant, but that Wang Xiaoqing didn't understand this at all, and with a responsible attitude towards the drug users, he couldn't just give the prescription to someone who didn't know anything about it.
After a few times, Wang Xiaoqing didn't seem to be very happy, she turned her face away and left without looking for him again.
And Ou Zixi was busy packing his medicinal materials, so naturally he didn't have the time and didn't know how to coax people.
A few days after all the medicinal materials were packed, the purchasing team from the pharmaceutical factory in the city drove into the village.Lu Jingnian, whose foot injury has almost healed, can finally throw away his crutches and walk.
Lu Jingnian comforted him: "We have something against him, if he still dares to target us, we will report him directly to the higher authorities, and he will be imprisoned even if he is a village cadre. I think he is even more afraid of us now." real."
"……hope so."
☆, a few home-cooked dishes
After returning home, Ou Zixi went directly to make lunch. The two of them didn't have enough to eat yesterday. They just bought two buns on the street in the morning. What's more, they have to take care of the meals for the three recruited workers today. , so Ou Zixi decided to do more this meal. Originally, he still complained about Lu Jingnian's behavior of spending a lot of money to hire people, but today he was scolded by the third uncle, and he and Village Chief Wang had completely lost face. He suddenly felt that he would feel more at ease when someone showed him the medicine field.
Lu Jingnian had nothing to do, so he followed him to the kitchen to help, but his only job was to wash the dishes for Ou Zixi, pass the bowls and chopsticks to clean the pot, and he couldn't even do the seemingly simple tasks of cutting vegetables, he was not good at knives, The cut vegetables were either too thin or too thick for their appearance and taste. After he tried it twice, Ou Zixi let him aside in disgust.
The three dishes Ou Zixi cooked today are all home-cooked dishes. One is fried pork with chili peppers. The green fresh hot peppers are still dripping with dew. The next door Aunt Wang just picked them from the field this morning and sent them over. Medium-fat, cut into thin slices for easy taste, put oil in the pan, fry the onion, garlic, ginger and the slightly fatter meat picked out, then pour in lean meat and chopped peppers and stir-fry over high heat, add Seasoning sauce, and soon, a simple but fragrant chili fried pork came out of the pan.
Lu Jingnian tasted the chopsticks, the meat was tender and tasty, with moderate spiciness, it was indeed an excellent dish for dinner.
"Don't you thicken and marinate the meat before making this dish?"
Ou Zixi shook his head: "The more complicated it is, the less flavorful it will be. The key to making this dish is to control the heat, without the thickening and marinating you said, the flavor will go in and the meat won't be old."
The second dish is Mapo Tofu. The tofu is made by Ou Zixi himself. It is tender and soft, and has an excellent taste. The extra meat from the previous dish is finely ground and refined into minced meat. He made it by himself. The red oil is spicy and fragrant. The stewed tofu is sprinkled with fresh chopped green onion. It is fresh and green, suitable for red and white. Crisp, it melts when you touch your teeth. Even if you don't eat it, just smelling the aroma is enough to make your index finger move.
"Smells so good~" Lu Jingnian sighed sincerely.
Ou Zixi explained: "Minced beef is the most delicious to make mapo tofu, but the previous dish was pork. Pork is cold in nature, and beef has a sweet and warm smell. It conflicts with the taste of warm and cold food. It is best not to eat it." eat together."
Lu Jingnian nodded, he didn't know so much about it, but he just thought it was delicious enough to make it with pork, and it was thanks to the little doctor's skill.
The last dish is simple stir-fried cabbage. The dish is fresh cabbage with white stalks, thick body and firm but not soft. Tear off one by one with your hands, fry the stalks first, and then add the leaves when they are eighty mature. Stir-fry, I use lard squeezed from fatty meat, which is more fragrant. The vegetables are not fried in the pot for too long, and the pot is ready after a few times. It is crisp and refreshing with a touch of fresh sweetness.
Because there were a lot of people eating, each dish was full of portion, after that, Ou Zixi made a simple hometown egg soup, and said to Lu Jingnian: "I'm going to deliver the food first, look at the casserole, I boiled it for the afternoon Soup, turn down the heat in another 10 minutes."
Ou Zixi first sent the food to the three workers who lived in the back mountain. Lu Jingnian lifted the lid of the pot, and it was Bazhen Chicken Soup for his body. According to Ou Zixi, there were yellow hen, pork belly, fish belly, pork, And pork bone, also added eight herbs such as codonopsis, Yunling, Atractylodes macrocephala, white peony root, angelica, rehmannia glutinosa, roasted licorice and Chuanxiong. It is said to be a medicinal soup for nourishing blood and nourishing qi. It's tempting, although it hasn't been boiled yet, Lu Jingnian thought it was for himself anyway, so he secretly took a bite with chopsticks, the meat tasted very delicious, and the soup was slightly bitter and sweet, but it was actually very mellow.
When Ou Zixi came back from delivering the food, he saw that he was stealing food again, he shook his head helplessly, thinking that this person might not have had a good life before, right?Otherwise how could be so greedy.
Of course, if the little doctor knew that someone was actually the young master who was born in the richest family in the provincial capital, he would have to suspect that his parents had picked him up and the family had embezzled him.
Lu Jingnian smiled at him with some embarrassment: "Is the food delivered?"
Ou Zixi nodded: "Let's eat quickly, I told them that we will start working in an hour, and I will go to the field to teach them how to collect those Sanqi."
But Lu Jingnian laughed, and asked him: "Little doctor, you are so good at cooking, and you are also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, why don't you just go to the city and open a medicated restaurant? The business will definitely be good."
Ou Zixi listened, thought for a while, and replied, "Then what about the medicine in my medicine field?"
"Please take care of it."
"...Forget it, I like this place better."
He said that Lu Jingnian had nothing to say, although he didn't think there was anything good about this village, the folk customs were not simple and full of troublesome people, and it was far away from the city, but the little doctor thought differently from ordinary people. He only asks for three meals, food and clothing, and nothing to contend with. He doesn't seem to have much interest in making a lot of money, and he just makes a suggestion, and he can't force him to do anything.
In the afternoon, Lu Jingnian followed Ou Zixi to the medicine field and watched him carefully explain the essentials of digging Panax notoginseng to the three workers. The three of them were honest farmers. The work in the hospital was also done from childhood to adulthood, and Ou Zixi was relieved when he saw that they got started quickly and did not ruin the medicine again.
Of course, although Lu Jingnian advised him not to go to the fields himself, Ou Zixi still couldn't take it easy. He still insisted on cleaning up those acres of destroyed land by himself.
Lu Jingnian's legs and feet are inconvenient. Yesterday he felt uncomfortable when he squatted down to help Ou Zixi with a few hours of work. Now he doesn't feel sorry for himself. He just stood aside and watched, and talked to him by the way: "Little doctor , does that barren mountain in front belong to your village too?"
Ou Zixi raised his head and looked in the direction of his finger. There was indeed a mountain not far in front of him. There were two undulating hills, and he had to cross a small river to get there. The back mountain was not as high and steep as this one, and the area seemed larger. Some, looking at it is bare and uninhabited.
Ou Zixi glanced at it, then lowered his head and resumed his work, and answered him casually: "The hill on the left is used for burying people in the village. The tiger head was buried there, and my father was also buried on that hill."
"What about the one on the right?"
"barren mountain."
Before the sun set, Village Chief Wang came over again. Ou Zixi didn't notice while working in the medicine field, but Lu Jingnian, who was sitting on the edge of the field and dozed off, saw him first. Seeing him hesitating and hesitating, he finally smiled , got up kindly and walked towards him.
"The village chief came to see Zixi again, is there something wrong?"
Village head Wang glanced at the three workers working in the medicine field, frowned and asked, "Where did they come from? Outsiders can't just live in the village."
"Come up to collect medicines in the city," Lu Jingnian added with a smile as he said, "If someone destroys the fields again, or someone with a heart sees that the medicinal materials are easy to sell and comes to steal the medicines, then we will talk to the pharmaceutical factory If you can't deliver the goods, you will lose a lot. Besides, they live on the back mountain side and don't go into the village. It's not a violation of your rules. Although Village Chief Wang is the village chief and party secretary of this small village, But it seems that whichever family takes in a guest, it is absolutely reasonable to put it anywhere, and you can't use your so-called rules to interfere."
The village head pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words, turned his eyes away, and after a while, lowered his voice in embarrassment: "The thing I said this morning... what do you guys want?"
"That..." Lu Jingnian tilted his head, glanced at Ou Zixi, who was squatting in the field with his back to them, concentrating on his work, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "In the future, you can't make trouble for Zixi, and take care of the people in your village." Those other people don't come to trouble Zixi anymore, and you can call the drug factory later, and confirm with them that Zixi will handle the sale of medicinal materials in person in the future, and ask them to send the deposit as soon as possible, so that we can forget about it Don't worry, Zixi didn't intend to completely tear your face off with you and make everyone look bad."
"really?"
"Of course it is true," Lu Jingnian said, "But there is one condition."
Looking at the almost malicious smile in his eyes, the village chief asked vigilantly, "What else?"
Lu Jingnian pouted in the direction of the barren hill that Ou Zixi mentioned before, and asked Village Chief Wang: "Is that also the land of the village?"
"……Yes."
"Anyway, it's a pity to leave it abandoned. How about subcontracting it to Zixi?"
"No!" Village Chief Wang turned pale with fright, and refused him without even thinking about it: "It's a geomantic treasure land reserved for the villagers to use as cemeteries, how can they be contracted out casually?! Absolutely not!"
Lu Jingnian smiled disapprovingly: "Aren't your graves all on the left hill? I only want the right half."
"That won't work either!" Village Chief Wang said bluntly, "When the mountain on the left is full, move to the right. That mountain is reserved, and it is impossible to contract it out!"
"Forget it then." Lu Jingnian's expression turned pale, "Tomorrow Zixi and I will go to town..."
"I can't be the master!" Village Chief Wang interrupted him through gritted teeth: "The land doesn't belong to me alone, it belongs to the whole village. It doesn't mean that you can contract it if you want!"
But Lu Jingnian laughed again: "Zixi's household registration is with his grandma's, which is the household registration of your village. It's no problem to contract your land. Village Chief Wang, you are so capable, you must have a way to persuade those villagers of."
"I can't..."
"You have it." Lu Jingnian interrupted him with a smile.
Village Chief Wang was so angry that he wanted to punch him, he finally came to his senses at this moment, Ou Zixi found a smart person from the city to help him, he was no longer the naive doctor who just let himself open his mouth and coaxed him to believe up.
In the end, Village Chief Wang had no choice but to let him report the crime and end up in jail, so he could only grit his teeth and agree: "I will figure out a way, but this matter won't happen all at once. of……"
"Within two months, Village Chief Wang, please help us settle this matter." Lu Jingnian smiled softly and harmlessly, but put forward conditions with him bluntly.
Village head Wang ignored him, turned around and left.
Lu Jingnian raised his voice and shouted from behind: "The village chief remembers to call the pharmaceutical factory and ask them to pay the deposit as soon as possible."
Village Chief Wang quickened his pace.
And Ou Zixi was also standing up at this time, seeing the back of Village Chief Wang striding away in anger from a distance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Lu Jingnian suspiciously: "Did the village chief come just now? What did you say? "
"It's nothing." Lu Jingnian put a hand on his shoulder: "The sun has set, let's go home, I'm hungry."
"..." Ou Zixi was speechless: "Then go back."
Lu Jingnian happily snapped his fingers and went home~
☆, Chicken Soup with Bazhen Belly
After returning home, the pot of Bazhen Chicken Soup that had been simmering slowly since noon was ready. Ou Zixi brought the casserole to the table in the kitchen and said to Lu Jingnian, "Drink the soup first, I'll Let's cook other dishes."
Open the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma comes out. The soup looks more yellowish than when it was not fully boiled at noon. The bitterness of the original medicinal materials is covered, and the addition of red dates enhances the freshness and sweetness.
The chicken is delicious, the taste is crisp and tender, the entrance is full of juice, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, the pork belly and fish belly are crispy and smooth, crisp but not rotten and elastic. Every side dish makes Lu Jingnian love it. After a while, a big pot Half of the soup was eaten.
While cooking, Ou Zixi turned to look at him and asked, "Does it taste good?"
"Not bad, what's the name of this soup?"
"Bazhen Belly Chicken Soup, nourishes qi and blood, nourishes your body." Ou Zixi answered him casually.
"Oh..." Lu Jingnian dragged his voice, but suddenly raised the phone in his hand, facing the screen at him, and said with a smile: "But the boss said that this soup is suitable for men with dizziness and limbs caused by frequent incidents. It is a good product for replenishing essence and strengthening yang for weakness, fatigue, sore waist and knees, impotence, etc."
Ou Zixi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his ears turned red with embarrassment: "That...that's it, but, it's not..."
Lu Jingnian was so amused by his reaction that he burst out laughing with a "puchi", and couldn't help teasing him: "Little doctor, have you ever drank this soup yourself?"
Asked by him with a narrow smile in his eyes, Ou Zixi became more and more at a loss, his eyes flickered here and there but he didn't know where to put it, Lu Jingnian couldn't stop laughing secretly, the little doctor turned out to be not only innocent but also very innocent.
So I can't help but sigh again, I really don't know how his parents raised him, so that he can be raised like this.
Lu Jingnian hooked his hands at him, and Ou Zixi took a step forward without knowing why, but Lu Jingnian grabbed his hand firmly and sat down on the chair: "The soup you made is so delicious, it would be a waste if you don't try it yourself. , and I can't drink so much."
"I don't need to make up..."
"It's not too much to make up for," Lu Jingnian said logically, and immediately filled him with a bowl of soup, put it in front of him, and looked at him with a smile: "Drink it."
"..." It's nothing to drink soup, but Lu Jingnian's eyes are full of jokes and narrow-mindedness, which can even be regarded as a slightly obscene smile, but it really makes Ou Zixi uncomfortable. He has always been thin-skinned. It's even redder.
"Drink."
Under his repeated urging, Ou Zixi still took a few sips of the soup. It wasn't because he was too shy, but the more relaxed he was, the happier Lu Jingnian laughed. In the end, it was Ou Zixi who wanted to hide himself. Uncomfortable and impolite rolling eyes.
So the smile on Lu Jingnian's face got bigger, and he asked him: "Little doctor, have you ever been in love before? Could it be that you haven't even held a little girl's hand before?"
"I have a marriage contract." Ou Zixi decided not to argue with him, and answered his words calmly.
"Engagement?" Thinking back, it seemed that someone had heard that the young doctor had a fiancée yesterday, but Lu Jingnian was a little curious: "You got engaged when you were only in your early twenties?"
"Grandma and third uncle ordered it."
"Baby dear?" Lu Jingnian understood: "Then you like her?"
"I like it." Ou Zixi didn't think much about it. To him, marriage was nothing more than a matchmaker's words and his parents' orders. , as far as he himself is concerned, he is still very satisfied.
Lu Jingnian was surprised that Ou Zixi answered so bluntly. Although he couldn't imagine what kind of woman Ou Zixi would like, he found it boring for a while, so he stopped talking.
After dinner, Ou Zixi went to the pharmacy to fiddle with his medicinal materials, and the ruined notoginseng could be collected and ground into powder for personal use, while Lu Jingnian went back to his room to watch TV.
There was a boring [-] o'clock TV show on the TV. Lu Jingnian watched it absent-mindedly, but he was completely lacking in interest. From time to time, he glanced at the lighted room diagonally opposite the window, always thinking about what Ou Zixi was doing right now. What, when will I go back to my room to sleep.
Then he reacted belatedly, it seemed a little abnormal that he cared so much about Ou Zixi?
After nine o'clock, the lights in the pharmacy finally went out, Lu Jingnian stood up abruptly, without even realizing what he wanted to do, he had already moved out the door on crutches.
Pushing open the door, Ou Zixi was also coming out of the pharmacy, he seemed surprised to see him standing by the door in a daze, and walked over: "What are you doing standing here?"
Facing Ou Zixi's suspicious and innocent eyes, Lu Jingnian was extremely embarrassed for a moment, and after a long while, he asked nana, "Do you want to sleep?"
After I finished speaking, I felt that my question was really stupid enough.
"Isn't it already past nine o'clock?"
"Oh, by the way, I just received a text message from the bank that the deposit of 3 yuan from the pharmaceutical factory has arrived," Lu Jingnian said as he turned over the text message on his mobile phone and showed him: "Look, the one who just arrived .”
Ou Zixi nodded: "Thank you."
Then she was about to turn around and go back to her room, but Lu Jingnian grabbed her wrist, Ou Zixi looked at him with some surprise: "What's wrong?"
Realizing his gaffe, Lu Jingnian hurriedly let go of his hand in embarrassment: "It's only past nine o'clock, it's summer now so don't you need to go to bed so early?"
"..."
"watch TV?"
Ou Zixi was noncommittal, and after a while, he pouted at the door of the room where he lived, and walked over first.
Speaking of watching TV, Lu Jingnian was not interested in that at all, but Ou Zixi never moved his eyes from the TV screen after he sat on the sofa, even though he couldn't understand much of the love, hate and hatred in it. , while Lu Jingnian, for most of the time, his gaze fell on his side face, and he didn't know where his thoughts went.
Half an hour later, except for the people in the TV drama who were still noisily performing their joys and sorrows, the two people in the room hadn't spoken again. Lu Jingnian felt a little unhappy, coughed twice, and finally caught Ou Zixi's attention.
Seeing his gaze turned to himself, Lu Jingnian hurriedly said, "Sit on the bed, yours is too close to the TV, you will damage your eyes." Saying so, he patted the bed next to him, staring helplessly. Looking at Ou Zixi.
Ou Zixi undoubtedly had him, so he changed from the sofa to sit next to him. Lu Jingnian saw that he had changed into a long robe after taking a shower, reached out and pinched his waist, and asked him with a curious smile when Ou Zixi frowned: "Wear this dress?" interesting?"
"Comfortable."
Ou Zixi didn't even raise his eyelids, and stared at the TV intently. The play just now was over, and another one was changed. It was a Tang Dynasty play. Lu Jingnian watched him seriously, but he had nothing to say. Ask him, "Did you enjoy watching this?"
"It's a bit absurd, but it's okay to watch as a play."
Lu Jingnian didn't quite understand what he was referring to when he said something absurd, and seeing that he had no interest in talking to him at all, he had no choice but to shut up.
Another hour later, Ou Zixi, who had been fighting unconsciously against the bedside eyelids for a long time, finally closed his eyes completely. Lu Jingnian turned off the TV with the remote control, and lightly pushed Ou Zixi's arm, seeing that he was only slightly flattened. His mouth didn't wake up, but he thought it was very interesting to put this little trick on him.
So instead of waking him up, he supported him and let him lie down slowly, Ou Zixi didn't intend to wake up at all, pulled the thin quilt over him, and Lu Jingnian leaned aside, quietly watching him fall asleep Afterwards, with her quiet sleeping face, she couldn't help reaching out and touching it.
The touch is still very good, the little doctor is obviously in his twenties, his skin is the same as that of a teenager, and looking at his white neck looming between the collar of his long robe with one button unbuttoned, with a grunt, Lu Jingnian returned When she was in a daze, she realized that she was like a wretched uncle, watching him quietly swallowing her saliva.
I don't know if it was caused by the bowl of soup, but Lu Jingnian felt that his whole body was hot and unbearable. Ou Zixi in front of him was obviously wearing a long gown, but he looked at him with an indescribable sense of temptation, far more than those who took the initiative. It is much more attractive to fall in love with men and women who are hot or sexy.
That's right, he is bisexual, and he is not a good person. There are not a few men and women who have hooked up with them before. Almost all of them were sent away with money for fun. There are also fiancees who have been with him since childhood for the sake of family interests. Growing up, I knew his nature clearly, and I had told him a long time ago about a formal marriage, pretending to be affectionate in front of others, and playing with each other in the future. He is someone he has always trusted, and he was also one of the people who betrayed him in the end.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingnian couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed. The little doctor beside him was different from all the people he had known before. Ou Zixi, who lived in his own world without competing with the world, really brought him a lot of freshness. , and this little doctor is too simple, almost completely ignorant of world affairs, but because of this, while attracting Lu Jingnian, for the first time, it made him feel that these thoughts he gave birth to were a bit dirty.
So in the end, Lu Jingnian didn't have the nerve to put his hands on Ou Zixi, but instead turned his back and forced himself to close his eyes, trying to ignore those restless thoughts, and slowly fell asleep.
☆, skin care cream
In the hot weather, Lu Jingnian stood under the big tree beside the field to block the sun, sweating profusely, although he had a fan in his hand, it felt like all the hot air came out from the fan, making him feel sticky and uncomfortable.
Of course, he was more tormented than the scorching hot weather.
Wearing a straw hat, Ou Zixi was still directing the workers to collect the medicines in the medicine field. Lu Jingnian's eyes flicked past him from time to time, thinking of his increasingly awkward and uncomfortable thoughts in the past two days, he was a little bit unwilling for a while.
In the past, when he fell in love with someone, he would take the initiative to throw himself into his arms and give him a hug without hooking his fingers. How could he be as helpless as the innocent boy when he first fell in love like this time.
Just when Lu Jingnian was thinking about going back and forgetting about it, a girl in a short skirt appeared on the path on the other side of the medicine field. Before Lu Jingnian came back to his senses, the girl had already run to Behind Ou Zixi, gigglingly jumped onto Ou Zixi's back who was facing her, and covered Ou Zixi's eyes with his hands.
Ou Zixi subconsciously supported her body with his backhand, and when the girl deliberately squeezed his throat to ask him to guess who she was, he also cooperated with the expression of distress on the ground: "Xiao Hua? Lily? Second sister?"
He said the names of the little girls in the neighborhood, and the person on his back laughed and jumped off him: "Hey! It's me!"
In fact, Ou Zixi had already guessed who it was, and turned his head to look at her with a smile on his face: "Why did you come back early?"
"I miss you and come back soon."
Lu Jingnian looked at the scene where the two were making out with each other, thinking that this was the first time he had seen Ou Zixi laughing so heartily, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, so he walked up to Ou Zixi and asked, "Is this... ...?"
Ou Zixi took advantage of the situation and introduced to him: "She is Xiaoqing, the granddaughter of the third uncle."
Sure enough, it was Ou Zixi's fiancée who had engaged in baby marriage. Lu Jingnian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the little girl in front of him. She looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. She was dressed very fashionable, with big permed, wavy hair, and light makeup on her face. , completely urbanized, she really doesn't look like the girl in this country at all.
Ou Zixi also introduced Lu Jingnian to her, and of course he was talking about his cousin from the city.
Wang Xiaoqing held Ou Zixi's arm with a smile, and greeted him: "When I came just now, I heard from my grandfather that Zixi's cousin is here, and I said I would come to see him quickly."
Then she called out to Lu Jingnian very familiarly: "Hello, cousin."
Lu Jingnian twitched the corners of his lips in an unembarrassed manner. He didn't have any affection for this "cousin-in-law" who appeared out of nowhere, especially when she heard her name Ou Zixi so affectionately.
Because of Wang Xiaoqing's appearance, Ou Zixi simply went home after explaining the work in the medicine field. Ignore it, but this girl left her burden as soon as she came, and she couldn't help feeling unhappy, but she couldn't say anything, she could only follow along disgruntled.
Ou Zixi went to cook lunch, and Wang Xiaoqing helped him, one of them cut vegetables and the other prepared the ingredients, talking and laughing, the one who felt that there was a little extra was unwilling to leave, and forced himself into the kitchen, just by the table Sit down, can't talk to but refuse to leave.
Ou Zixi and Wang Xiaoqing were talking about interesting things in the village, but Wang Xiaoqing suddenly changed the subject and asked him casually: "I heard from grandpa that you asked the village head to contact the pharmaceutical factory in the city to sell medicines." Come back and do it yourself later?"
"Um……"
Ou Zixi nodded casually, seemingly completely unaware of her intention in asking this question. On the contrary, Lu Jingnian looked at her with a curious expression and keenly felt that she was not just asking casually.
Wang Xiaoqing asked him again: "Zixi, those medicines you grow can sell for a lot of money, right?"
"It's pretty good." Ou Zixi told the truth without doubting him, "This time, the batch of Panax notoginseng can sell for 10,000+."
Wang Xiaoqing was obviously surprised when she heard that her eyes widened slightly: "There are so many?"
"It's quite a lot." Ou Zixi smiled, a little relieved, anyway, it's good to have more money, and he can buy more medicinal materials he wants in the future.
"That's it..." Wang Xiaoqing sighed inexplicably, and looked away, but thoughtfully.
Lu Jingnian shook his head, the little doctor is really too innocent, even the old man has confessed to others before he got married.
An hour later, the food was on the table. The stewed beef with yam made by Ou Zixi was delicious, soft but not rotten and plump and juicy. It was a pity that Lu Jing lost his appetite for the first time in this year. Listening to the two talking beside him.
Wang Xiaoqing was picking up vegetables for Ou Zixi, and said to him with a smile: "Zixi, the mask and face cream that you gave me with Chinese medicine last time are quite useful. Do you think my skin is much better?"
As Wang Xiaoqing said, she moved her face closer to Ou Zixi, motioning him to look, and Lu Jingnian also raised her eyes to take a look. This little girl is not very old, her complexion is fair, and there is really no blemish on her face.
Wang Xiaoqing continued: "I took it to the factory for others to try. One of my roommates used it and his acne-prone face healed. Those workers asked me to buy it from you and asked how you got it. It’s much better than those expensive skin care products on the market.”
"You don't need to buy it," Ou Zixi replied indifferently: "If you want me to tune some more for you, you can just take them and give them to them."
Wang Xiaoqing rolled her eyes when she heard this, and suddenly said: "I only come back once in half a year, and the ones you gave me will be used up in a short time, why don't you give me the formula for this mask and face cream?" , can I make it myself?"
Before Ou Zixi said the word "good", Lu Jingnian spoke first and asked her, "Do you know how to make medicine?"
Wang Xiaoqing didn't expect him to interrupt suddenly, the embarrassment in her eyes was fleeting, and then she smiled again: "Zixi can teach me, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Ou Zixi frowned slightly when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said to her: "Preparing medicine is not such a simple matter, even if I give you a prescription, the effect of different people may be very different..."
"You teach me, even if I study hard, I may not be able to learn." Wang Xiaoqing insisted.
"That's not something you can learn in a short while..."
"I will study hard. Give me the prescription and teach me."
"Aren't you coming back every three festivals a year? Zixi will give you more, and it should be enough for you for three or four months, right?" Lu Jingnian interjected again, interrupting her coquetry: "Why do you have to make trouble by yourself? , there will always be a gap between what you made yourself and what Zixi matched, after all, it is something that is used on the face, so it is not good to be safe? Or are you planning to use your own face as an experiment?"
Lu Jingnian's tone was no longer polite, Wang Xiaoqing bit her lip, and stopped insisting on talking about it.
Afterwards, the meal was a little awkward, and after Wang Xiaoqing went home, Lu Jingnian finally couldn't help asking Ou Zixi: "You don't really intend to give her the prescription, do you?"
"Actually..."
"According to what I know, unless the prescription is a very common one, don't you generally have to keep it secret?"
"That's not a prescription, it's just a cosmeceutical for Xiaoqing's skin care because she said that her skin is not good."
"This kind of thing is more valuable," Lu Jingnian reminded him, "Don't you have to be defensive? Even though she is your fiancée, she hasn't married yet. Don't tell her everything so quickly."
Ou Zixi frowned again. In fact, Lu Jingnian didn't say that he really didn't want to give it to him. It was something he worked hard to make. If Xiaoqing really understood these things, it would be fine, but she had never studied Chinese medicine at all. It's completely nonsense to take the prescription and make it yourself, but it's true that he didn't know how to refuse her for a while.
When Lu Jingnian saw Ou Zixi, he seemed to have listened to his own words, laughed, and asked him again: "Little doctor, speaking of which, I still want to ask you, why are you still studying things for girls?"
"That's the secret medicine of the palace, which is also used by Concubine Yang Gui, do you want it?"
Lu Jingnian was taken aback for a moment, and for the first time, Ou Zixi actually laughed with him, and he laughed when he recovered: "Concubine Yang used it before, haha...that's really attractive..."
Ou Zixi murmured softly: "...what I said is the truth."
Although it's a little embarrassing to say it, because he was young and handsome, he was born with a face like a crown of jade. Before he was a weak crown, he became an imperial doctor in the palace. Well, the medicinal creams developed and formulated were all for their use, so they had a lot of experience in this area. For a while, they were very popular in the palace. Of course, it was also the fuse that directly led to his subsequent guillotine.
But these, he will not just tell Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian said: "I see that your fiancée... has a lot of thoughts."
Ou Zixi looked up at him: "Why do you have so many thoughts?"
"When are you going to get married?"
"Let's wait for her to turn twenty, it will be soon."
Lu Jingnian felt a little uncomfortable, but reminded him: "You told her that your medicine field can make a lot of money. I think she seems to care about these things. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear her in the future."
Ou Zixi shook his head after hearing this: "Xiaoqing is not that kind of person."
☆、Behind the matter
After nearly a week of busy work, no matter whether it was destroyed or surviving Sanqi or other medicinal materials in the twelve acres of land, everything that should be collected was collected. Lu Jingnian paid the money of the three workers, and finally kept The most honest and diligent one came down to negotiate the price, and was still in charge of living in the back mountain to show them the medicine field and work as a long-term worker.
Ou Zixi also let out a long sigh of relief, tidied up the recovered medicinal materials, and hung them all in his yard.
During this period, Wang Xiaoqing came a few more times, and asked him about asking for prescriptions several times in a roundabout way. After asking too many questions, Ou Zixi also sensed that something was wrong with her. The bad side misses her, but she can't guess why she suddenly became interested in the prescription, but no matter what, she still shirks and refuses to give it.
It wasn't that he was reluctant, but that Wang Xiaoqing didn't understand this at all, and with a responsible attitude towards the drug users, he couldn't just give the prescription to someone who didn't know anything about it.
After a few times, Wang Xiaoqing didn't seem to be very happy, she turned her face away and left without looking for him again.
And Ou Zixi was busy packing his medicinal materials, so naturally he didn't have the time and didn't know how to coax people.
A few days after all the medicinal materials were packed, the purchasing team from the pharmaceutical factory in the city drove into the village.Lu Jingnian, whose foot injury has almost healed, can finally throw away his crutches and walk.
