The master's words must be correct. Ni'er picked up the book, weighed it in her hand, and felt that it was just a few thin pages. She sat there reading quietly. Zhao Jincheng went to the kitchen and started making dried meat.

After a morning, I had read nearly half of the book. There were still some obscure parts that required further consultation with the master.

When I walked into the kitchen, most of the preparation work for making jerky had been completed, except for the seasoning step which was quite tedious.

Hearing Ni'er's footsteps, Zhao Jincheng didn't even raise his head and continued to work on his work.

"There are some parts I don't understand. Master, please explain them to me."

"This book was written by a previous author. Some parts of it are really hard to understand. Can you finish reading it all tomorrow?"

Nier hesitated for a moment. She had indeed read half of it today. At this rate, it should be fine. "No problem."

Zhao Jincheng recognized his disciple's ability. Based on his understanding of her, accomplishing such a task should be a piece of cake.

"Then you finish reading it all tomorrow and I'll explain it to you. This book is coherent, so it's better to finish reading it all."

"Ah."

Nier never questioned her master's decision. She took a deep breath and the whole room was filled with the aroma of spices. If she stayed here for too long, she might also be pickled. "I'll go wash my hands and help you make jerky."

"Hey~ This is my exclusive secret recipe, I won't share it with anyone else."

Ni'er was already very tired from coming here early in the morning to study and read, so there was no reason for her to ask others for help. Besides, she could handle this kind of thing by herself, so I made up an excuse and asked her to go back and rest.

Ni'er showed a row of small white teeth. What exclusive secret recipe? The last time these seasonings were prepared, I was watching the whole process. Master's lying skills need to be improved.

How long will it take to dry so much meat? Anyway, it's still early before school is over, so it's better for two people to work together. "Huh, am I not your favorite disciple? What exclusive secret recipe should I not know?"

His cheeks puffed up, he folded his arms, and stared at his master angrily.

Zhao Jincheng was most susceptible to this. No one could bully his little disciple, including himself. Seeing Ni'er's angry look, he became a little flustered.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Ni'er was pretending and just wanted to help, while Doctor Zhao was just too concerned and confused.

"Okay, okay, then go wash your hands."

As Ni'er just walked out of the door, Doctor Zhao reacted and said, "Forget it, if she wants to help, let her help."

Ni'er has been thinking about grandma all the time. She must be worried after not seeing her for such a long time. She must be hiding something bad. Usually, many people come to see the master, so he must know something.

After washing my hands, I entered the house and saw that the meat was only half cut. I wanted to help with the rest, but as soon as I picked up the knife, I was stopped.

"Let me do it, don't cut your hand."

Seeing such a young child holding a kitchen knife is terrifying.

I cut vegetables at home before, so it’s nothing. The master is really making a fuss out of nothing.

"Okay, I'll do something else then."

"Master, I haven't seen my grandma for a long time."

Zhao Jincheng cut the meat into strips of uniform thickness and size. The way he worked with the knife was quite pleasing to the eye. "Your grandma fell a few days ago. I was the one who treated her. She needs to rest for at least three months."

After hearing this news, Nier's doubts disappeared. No wonder she didn't see grandma coming to cause trouble, it turned out she was too busy to take care of herself.

The house will be completed in a couple of days, so she definitely won't be able to come over. Then there will be one less person to deal with, so she can save some energy. Who knows what kind of trouble my uncle, second uncle and Fugui will come up with.

As expected, two people work faster. Zhao Jincheng cut the meat and Ni'er mixed it with the seasonings. When they finished everything, it was a little late.

Old Zhao looked up outside and said, "Go back quickly so as not to delay lunch."

These dried meats still need to be hung outside to dry. The master needs to do this for a long time alone. However, after learning for a whole morning and working, he is indeed a little hungry now. "Master, how about I come over to help you after I finish my meal?"

"No, I can do the work faster myself, so you just stay home."

I know that this little apprentice wants to help, but her main task now is to learn the contents of the book. "Think carefully about what you have learned today, and don't waste time on these things."

Ni'er hadn't seen her master so serious for a long time, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't come this afternoon."

"That's good. Wash your hands quickly and go home."

Looking at Ni'er jumping out of the yard, he smiled and shook his head, "Such a little kid, but you still worry so much."

Here, Yan Zi led Niu Li to see Yuan Bao, and they saw from afar a big dog leading a few puppies playing on the roadside.

Yuanbao barked at the two of them a few times, wagged his tail, and ran over quickly.

It rubbed against Yan Zi and Niu Li's trouser legs, grabbing the trouser legs with its two front paws, and jumped up and down, looking very happy.

Niu Li picked up Yuanbao. He had become a fat baby, round and very cute. He stretched out his pink little tongue and licked Niu Li's hand.

Yan Zi rubbed Yuan Bao's head and stayed there obediently to be petted.

The big dog stopped and looked at the two people having fun with Yuanbao, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Mom, they will feed the dog soon. Let's see how Yuanbao is eating."

I brought two steamed buns as a snack for the big dog, but I couldn't let the dog raise Yuanbao in vain.

The big dog took the children back home and lay there. Several puppies swarmed over and started to suck milk.

The family brought out a bowl of leftovers and placed it in front of the big dog. After the puppy finished feeding, the big dog stood up, walked to the bowl, and started eating in big mouthfuls.

When Yuanbao saw the things in the bowl, his eyes lit up. He followed the big dog's example and stood there competing with the big dog for the food.

He was already very full from drinking milk, and his bulging belly was visible to the naked eye, almost dropping to the ground.

Niu Li and his mother looked at each other. Yuanbao was able to eat now, so they could take it back.

While the people who are building the house are still here, let them build a bigger doghouse so that Yuanbao can live in it when he grows up. Everyone in the family should have his or her own room, and the animals are no exception.

Discuss with that family about taking Yuanbao back.

The big dog seemed to understand their conversation. It took Yuanbao back to its den, licked it all over with its tongue, and gently placed its front paws on Yuanbao, as if it was hugging it.

Niu Li reached into the doghouse, touched the big dog, and then touched Yuanbao, "I will bring Yuanbao back to see you when the time comes."

Yan Zi and Niu Li were walking towards home. As soon as they went out, they turned around and saw Yuan Bao standing at the door, as if he was seeing them off.

It's rare to find such a polite dog, better than many people.

Niu Li looked back every three steps, and Yuanbao kept standing there until he was completely out of sight.
