Chapter 334 Medicine
In the evening, No. 22 Xiaolihua Courtyard.
Chu Heng was busy in the kitchen enthusiastically.
He moved the briquette stove out again, and now it was placed at the door of the kitchen. The charcoal fire in the furnace flickered on and off, baking the red casserole sitting on it.
As time goes by, a faint scent of oil gradually fills the air.
Inside is pig trotters stewed with soybeans, bright red in color, rich and tasty, fat but not greasy.
On the large stove, crucian carp and tofu soup is stewed. The milky white soup is fresh and fragrant. When it comes out of the pot, it is garnished with a few bright red wolfberries. Just looking at it makes you appetizing.
“Well, it’s almost done!”
Chu Heng glanced at the fish soup in the pot and saw that it was thick enough, so he took an enamel basin and poured out the soup and ingredients. Ladle into a basin.
Then, he poured some water into the pot, added fire and continued to burn, then put the pot fork on, sat the enamel basin on it, and covered the pot to keep it warm.
After finishing it, Chu Heng wiped himself and came to the coal stove. He looked at the pig's trotters stewed in the casserole and saw that the soup was almost gone, so he removed some charcoal, leaving only three or two pieces, so that it could be cooked Maintain a certain temperature in the stove to prevent the casserole from getting cold and from drying out the stewed pig's trotters in the casserole.
“Not bad!”
Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction, closed the lid of the casserole, wiped himself and returned to the main room.
Walking to the huge Arhat bed, he lovingly stretched out his hand to touch the glyphs on it, then kicked off his thousand-layer-soled shoes and lay down lazily on it.
He had a soft cushion stuffed with cotton on his head, and a unicorn-patterned jade pendant gently coiled in his hand. His eyes were half-opened, and soon there was a sound of snoring in the room.
As a hard-working pioneer, he was really tired, very tired...
He slept like this until about seven o'clock, when a gentle knock on the door woke him up from his dream. .
“Dong dong dong!”
Chu Heng sat up in excitement, his sharp eyes shining with silver light in the dimness.
“Tsk, I came at the wrong time. I just took off my clothes...”
He smacked his lips unwillingly and hurriedly put on his shoes and went to the ground to open the door.
The visitors were none other than Shen Tian and his wife. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days. Zhang Min was a bit thinner, with sunken eye sockets and more prominent cheekbones, making him look a bit skinny.
“Come in.”
Chu Heng welcomed the two in enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Hengzi." Zhang Min looked at him gratefully, his voice choked up, and his eye circles began to turn red.
"Is it done for you two?" Chu Heng shook his head helplessly, closed the courtyard door, and led the two of them into the main room to sit down.
Then, he ran to the kitchen and put the two still-warm breast-feeding tools on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.
Looking at the bright crucian carp soup and the fragrant pig's trotters in front of me.
Zhang Min swallowed in disappointment.
After eating branyan vegetables for so long, how could she remain calm after seeing delicious food?
Not to mention her, even Shen Tian couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and his Adam's apple slid up and down several times.
All this was seen by Chu Heng, but he did not laugh at the couple. Instead, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He sighed softly, wiped himself and ran to the kitchen again, and took out a pot of cabbage and meat dumplings from the warehouse that he had put in at an unknown time.
This is his dinner with Shen Tian.
“Dang!”
Chu Heng placed a large plate of steaming dumplings on the table and sat down carelessly. He smiled and said to Zhang Min: "Sister-in-law, eat it quickly. The pig's trotters and crucian carp soup are yours, Shen Tian and I." Eat dumplings. "
Shen Tian, who was drooling at the dumplings, hurriedly waved his hands and refused: "No, no, I've eaten it at home." It's already troublesome for his brother, so why bother to eat it too?
Although he was so greedy that his teeth were about to fall out...
"After you eat, you can have a drink with me." Chu Heng glanced at him and did not criticize him. , took a bottle of Erguotou, opened it, and poured him a glass directly.
"You..." Seeing this, Shen Tian also understood his intentions, sighed with a wry smile, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, and said with a serious face: "I won't say more, Hengzi, you Remember, if I, Shen Tian, ever turn around in the future, At this time, I have to repay you for this kindness."
"It's too boring for you to do this. I helped you because of our brotherly feelings, but I never wanted you to repay anything. "Chu Heng raised his head and drank the cup. After drinking, he said with an unhappy face: "If you talk about such bullshit again in the future, we brothers will never do it."
"If you don't like to hear it, just don't tell it." Shen Tian also followed suit and killed Manman. After a glass of wine, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Say Really, being able to make you a friend is the best thing I have done in my life."
"Drink, drink, stop talking about these useless things."
Chu Heng said again. Pour him a full bottle of wine, and then change the glasses.
More than twenty minutes later, Zhang Min had finished half the pot of pig's trotters and drank a full pot of crucian carp soup. He even ate all the meat on the fish bones on the bottom of the pot.
And her belly, which had been dry for many days, began to swell again.
Zhang Min touched her stomach with emotion, turned her head and looked at Chu Heng who was drinking with her man, her gratitude was beyond words.
Without this person, her newborn child might have died.
This is a real life-saving grace!
I really don't know how to repay him.
She thought hard.
More than half an hour passed, and Shen Tian finally became a little drunk after drinking a pound of wine.
He, who had always been cautious during these days, finally couldn't suppress the anguish in his heart and vented his words to Chu Heng.
The content is very detailed, so I won’t go into details here...
A long while.
After drinking and talking, Shen Tiancai left Courtyard No. 22 with his wife.
After seeing off the two couples, Chu Heng mysteriously closed the courtyard door and ran into the west room.
Not long after, a vague "crunching" sound came from the room.
He is grinding medicine.
Chu Heng once got a book in the hands of the old man, called Xuan Yangzi Flower Picking Records, which recorded four traditional Chinese medicines, namely Tiger Pencil Wine, Huanxi Powder, Da Meng Xiang, and White Jade Dew.
These days, he has been developing Damengxiang, trying to see if this drug, which has only been seen in martial arts novels, is so magical.
But this thing is too difficult to do.
More than fifty kinds of medicinal materials, each flavor needs to be carefully prepared, and there can be no difference in the slightest. With the level of his two knives, it is really difficult for others.
In the past few months, he has made three big dream incense, but in the end they all ended in failure.
This time, it is his fourth time to make it, if it fails.
He was about to give up on this crappy thing, turned around to study, and happily dispersed.
It’s all about killing time anyway, so what are you doing?
"Crunch, crunch..."
Chu Heng leaned lazily on the chair, holding Xuan Yangzi's Flower Picking Book in his hand and savoring it carefully, stepping on it with his feet. Apply medicine to the roller.
Soon, it was past nine o'clock.
He quickly threw the half-crushed medicinal materials into the warehouse, changed into dark clothes, took the wind oil essence he bought specially, and hurried out of the house.
