Niu male

The main dish at Niuwang Village at noon today is big bone turnip soup. The big bone was bought by Lao Zhou from Luo Hanliang with a pig of his own. Save it for tomorrow and pick it up the day after tomorrow. This is also the advantage of exchanging pork with Luo Hanliang and the others. You can want it any day, which is convenient and fresh.

Turnips are taken from our own cold storage. Turnips can grow all year round, but the best turnips are those that have been frosted in the field after winter. Turnips taste the sweetest at that time .

Some of the turnips collected around the Spring Festival last year were left by Lao Zhou in his own cold storage. Turnips are a good thing. They taste a bit like white radishes, but they are warm in nature and not cold. They can nourish qi and clear heat, and are very nourishing. Local people like to eat it very much.

These turnips from Old Zhou's family have been stored in cold storage at zero temperature since they were brought back. The cost of electricity is relatively high, but fortunately, the price he sold to Duan Jiashu and Ma Congrong was also very good.I hoarded a lot at the beginning, but half a year has passed, and now it is almost used up. The rest of it is given to each cafeteria today and used to cook bone soup.

This pork bone and turnip soup is really good to drink. It tastes sweet and light. The meat and bones in the soup can be eaten alone with soy sauce, which is also very fragrant.

Some long-term workers in Niuwangzhuang especially like the soy sauce that Lao Zhou bought from their village. They make half a bowl of soy sauce, shave the meat off the bones, and roll it in the soy sauce. It can no longer be regarded as sticking to eat, but rinsing and eating.

"Don't dip it too much, it's very salty." Lao Zhou said to a buddy at the table next to them at this time.

"Hi, it's okay." The man didn't care, and ate the piece of meat into his mouth in one gulp.

"How about it, you say it's very salty, right?" Lao Zhou said with a smile on the side.

"Hiss! It doesn't seem so salty after eating this morning?" The man wrinkled his face from the saltiness.

"That's because when you wake up early, your sense of taste hasn't fully awakened." Lao Zhou said flickeringly.

At this time, other people in the cafeteria also noticed the abnormality of the soy sauce.

"Why is it so salty?"

"Damn it! Old Zhou, you wouldn't add salt to the soy sauce, would you?"

"Probably not?"

"Salt must be added! It's much saltier than in the morning."

"Let's drink less salty." Old Zhou said with a smile.

"Did you really add salt to it?" Xiao Shulin was stunned.

"Just added a little bit." Old Zhou said.

"..." Even after living together for so long, Xiao Shulin sometimes doesn't quite understand how this guy's brain circuit goes around. This big meaty bone is willing to be eaten by others, and it costs about ten yuan a catty. The turnip is also willing to take it out to cook soup, so why do you have to make trouble with that little soy sauce?

"The soy sauce in our village is so expensive." Old Zhou could see that Xiao Shulin didn't understand, so he explained to him: "It's not that soy sauce is eaten today and not eaten tomorrow, but it's eaten every day. Add a little salt, let’s not say too much, even if everyone eats 50 cents less soy sauce, then [-] people will have [-] yuan, right?”

There are more than a hundred long-term and short-term laborers working on their Niuwangzhuang every day, and judging by the speed at which they eat soy sauce, it is estimated that adding salt to Lao Zhou will save more than [-] cents, and it will still be three meals a day. , It is indeed a lot of money.

Xiao Shulin nodded after listening, thinking that what Luo Meng said was reasonable.

Houwazi also blinked and listened beside him, in the eyes of this kid, his father was amazing, everything his father did was right, and the walnuts his father dished out were worth more than his own.

The long-term and short-term workers in the cafeteria complained and complained. They had to eat what they had to eat. The soy sauce was a little salty, but as Lao Zhou said, if it didn’t work, they should use less.

But everyone has remembered this matter for him. In the Tongcheng forum, someone made up a doggerel called "Old Zhou's soy sauce is so salty". Returning to the poetic nature, there are a few more widely circulated in the end, the most famous of which is "Old Zhou is not Surnamed Zhou".

In the evening, those old men from the buffalo restaurant came to Niuwangzhuang to set up a stall again. That Wang Chengfeng called Lao Zhou to play a game with them again. He lost to Houwazi in chess last time. I remember it all.

"How do you want to play?" Romon also saw that this old guy was well prepared this time.

"We don't need five herbs, we need three. If you guess all three correctly, I will work in your buffalo restaurant for another three months." Wang Chengfeng said.

"That's what you said." Lao Zhou is actually quite confident in himself. He has a spiritual spring. The sensitivity of the five senses is different from ordinary people. As long as you distinguish carefully, you can still see the difference in some medicinal materials. Last time I talked to them When playing, Lao Zhou kept one hand, just a plate of dried tofu, it didn't matter if he lost or won, he also wanted to catch big fish.

In the current buffalo restaurant, this Wang Chengfeng's medical skills are not considered the most brilliant, but his ability to raise money is really worth mentioning. Many people came to him with money to see a doctor, just to ask for a doll.

The buffalo restaurant has not been open for a long time, and it is still in the accumulation stage. The medicinal materials are still being purchased in a steady stream. In addition to the free medical treatment introduced by Lao Zhou, many times it is impossible to get back the cost. At such a time , How important is Wang Chengfeng's existence, and if he wants to stay here for three more months, Lao Zhou really wishes for it.

"Am I going to lose?" The heartbeat returned to the heartbeat, Lao Zhou's mind was relatively clear at this time, and he knew that the other party had come prepared this time.

"If you lose, you have to give us a sheep." Lu Qihu interrupted.The old men debated for a long time whether they want pigs or sheep. In the end, because Lao Zhou gave them pork every month as a benefit, these people finally chose goats, and a pig is more expensive than a sheep. It's valuable, Lao Zhou may not be willing to pay for that book.

"A sheep..." Lao Zhou looked a little hesitant. If Wang Chengfeng could be kept here for another three months, the money he could earn for the buffalo restaurant would be more than a sheep, but Lao Zhou I feel that I may not be able to win this time, and I don't know what kind of trick these old men have played for him.

"How about it, do you want to play or not?" Over there, the old men began to urge.

"I just said, this kid doesn't understand medicinal materials at all, so he definitely wouldn't dare to play with you."

"Old Wang, you are only staying here for three months. After all, you don't have many days before and after."

"It's not so easy for a layman to guess all three medicinal materials correctly."

"Forget it, don't think about mutton, let's win some dried tofu and be sure, and accidentally put myself in it."

These old men are chattering all over the place. The more Romon looks at it, the more he feels that this is a trick, but the bait in front of him is too big and delicious. When Cheng Feng packed his bags and went home, he regretted it.

"Okay, let's play." It's just a sheep, and he can't afford to lose.

"Hey, old deer, serve the herbs." Wang Chengfeng looked happy.

"That's it." Lu Qihu fiddled with the medicinal materials they brought for a while, and soon put out two plates of Chinese medicinal materials in front of Luo Meng.

"Come and see, which of these two herbs is the best quality Bupleurum?" Wang Chengfeng said to Luo Meng.

"Bupleurum..." There was a whisper among the onlookers. Everyone is familiar with Bupleurum, like Bupleurum Granules, Bupleurum Dropping Pills, which have a good antipyretic effect, and are bought by many people. Standing medicine.

Luo Meng has also eaten Bupleurum granules, but this kind of Bupleurum in the form of traditional Chinese medicine has never been carefully observed, although he owns a medical clinic.At a time like this, probably he can only rely on his spiritual spring.

Lao Zhou picked up the two plates and carefully distinguished the quality of the two plates of medicinal materials. The color and luster of the two plates of medicinal materials are slightly different, and the smell is also somewhat different, probably because of the different places of origin. Luo Meng also listened to doctors before. These people in the museum have said that even if the medicinal materials of the same species are produced in different places, there will be differences in both appearance and medicinal properties.

It is not easy to distinguish the good from the bad of things produced in different places of origin. People who are not engaged in traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal materials generally do not have much knowledge in this area. From Lao Zhou's point of view, the two The quality of the dish herbs is very good.

"How is it, have you chosen?" After a while, Wang Chengfeng asked.

"This one." Lao Zhou pointed to the dish with a lighter color. After careful identification, he felt that the quality of the medicinal materials in this dish was better, although it was not particularly obvious.

"Haha!" Wang Chengfeng laughed immediately.

"Lao Li's idea is good, this guy Romeng really got the trick." The other old men also looked happy.

"What's going on?" Old Zhou was a little dazed, it was only the first round, and he got tricked?

"You're pretty good, kid, but what is this?" Wang Chengfeng was very proud, and he picked up a piece of medicinal material selected by Luo Meng and shook it in front of him: "This thing is called Qianhu, it's not Bupleurum at all."

"You guys are fouling!" Lao Zhou quit, the previous game was obviously not played like this.

"You who run a medical clinic can't even tell the difference between Bupleurum and Qianhu, who is to blame?" the old man said.

"This distinguishes medicinal materials. What we need to distinguish is not only good or bad, but also authenticity. If you can't even tell the authenticity, then what do you want to see?" Li Xiangqun also spoke at this time. According to Wang Chengfeng's previous statement, this He gave the title of wicked and smoky.

"It's settled, a sheep, don't lie to your debt, kid."

"Don't try to shoddy, you have to give a good sheep."

"Will eating mutton get a little angry at this time, you think?"

"What are you afraid of? There are many ways to eat mutton."

So, Lao Zhou lost a sheep in this way, and the old men were very happy, as were those who watched the fun, but Lao Zhou himself was not too happy.

"It's still too careless. I didn't expect them to magnify their moves against me in the first round." In the evening, the family of three of old Zhou returned from the courtyard to rest in his hut. On the way, he couldn't help talking about this incident again.

"It's a waste of soy sauce." Xiao Shulin said with a smile.He didn't take that sheep seriously. Anyway, Romon doesn't gamble with people all day long. After today's incident, Romon will only hold his money bag tighter in the future. Who will want to follow him next time? It's not that easy to fool a sheep here.

"Alas..." Old Zhou sighed, and when he turned around, he saw Houwazi looking at him with two dark eyes.

Looking at the child's eyes, Lao Zhou finally realized a more serious matter, that is, his tall image in his son's mind was being shaken.How can this work?Must work hard to recover!

So he thought about it, and said to Houwazi: "You see, son, this is the danger of gambling."
