pastoral days

"Young man, what are you so busy doing?" The old doctor asked Song Chaoyang who was about to leave.He liked the young man who helped him very much.Those piercing eyes make him look like a good boy.

"Grandpa, I want to buy seasonings for cooking," Song Zhaoyang said.After thinking about it, he didn't know the specific names of those seasonings, so he described it to the old doctor.

"You mean seasoning? I've never heard of it. I think it's medicine. You kid, you're messing around." The old doctor said differently after hearing this.

Well, one day when two people told him to be fooling around, Song Zhaoyang felt hehe, but when he thought that the old doctor said it was more like medicine, his heart brightened.Yes, things like wolfberry and star anise are also medicinal materials.Maybe it's not used as seasoning yet.

"Grandpa, go and look for it, show me, and I'll buy a little." Song Zhaoyang thought about his small coffers, and felt that he could afford it.He can only buy and make two or three times.

When the old doctor said a few names for the apprentice to find, Song Chaoyang's eyes lit up, and this is it. "Grandpa, how much do you think these cost?" Song Chaoyang took some. He knew that ancient medicinal materials were very expensive and he probably couldn't afford them, so he took a little bit. If the effect was good, he asked his parents to buy them.

"Is this enough? If it's not enough, I'll give it to you. It sounds like you want to make delicious food. These medicinal materials are not poisonous, so they shouldn't go bad. If you make delicious food Just remember to bring some to my old man..." The old doctor ordered.The doctor committed an occupational disease again.

Song Zhaoyang still patiently listened to the old doctor.He felt that people in ancient times were very simple and simple, and they had a lot more human touch than modern society.The old doctor saw Song Chaoyang listening carefully, and liked this child even more.

"Young student, do you want to come to the medical center as an apprentice?" The old doctor asked seductively.He thinks that kind-hearted people are the most suitable to be doctors. Of course, talented people can be a miracle doctor, and those without talent can also be good doctors as long as they are diligent and serious.

"Haha, thank you Grandpa, I don't really want to be a doctor," Song Chaoyang returned.He knew that doctors had a high social status in ancient times, but he didn't like being a doctor very much, and he was still an old grandfather who flatly refused.

"Well, don't you go home and discuss it with your family?" the old doctor asked.You must know that there are many people who want to learn medicine from him. You can see from the apprentices in the medical hall that they all have a lot of affection.He didn't expect Song Chaoyang to reject him.

"No, I believe my family supports my decision," Song Zhaoyang affirmed.He believed that Song Gang and Song Lai would support his decision.

"Okay, then you can find me, the old man, if you have anything to do in the future," said the old doctor.

"Okay, thank you grandpa." Song Chaoyang finished the seasonings, bid farewell to the old doctor and left.

It took more than an hour for him to return home. "Chaoyang, where did you go this morning?" Song Lai asked when he saw Song Chaoyang entering the house.

"Father, I'll fix it first, and I'll call you when it's done." Song Chaoyang hurried into the kitchen.He has to do it quickly. Tonight, the three families will discuss the dishes for the day of the housewarming. They hope that they can successfully make a pork skin jelly before the evening.

In the kitchen, Song Chaoyang fell into deep thought. Except for salt, he didn't know how much to put in.This...haha, there is a specialization in the arts, and for the issue of adjusting the release ratio, he thought of the situation of making explosives that they had learned before.Play around with all the ratios.

He divided the materials into 3 parts, and made 3 parts of the seasoning according to the proportion.Then boil them separately in 3 pots.He remembered to wait for the soup to turn milky white.After adding enough firewood, I went to find Song Gang.

"Father, what are you doing?" Song Zhaoyang saw that Song Gang was playing with his carpenter's things.

"Chaoyang, where is your father?" Song Gang asked nervously when he saw Song Chaoyang.He feels that he has weak legs, so he can sit there and do some simple carpentry work. Now the family spends money everywhere, and Chaoyang is 12. In a few years, he will have to discuss marriage.

"Father went to find Second Aunt," Song Zhaoyang replied.

"Father, are you going to work? You can't sit on your legs for a long time now, and you need to walk slowly. I came to you just to talk to you about crutches. This is also simple. Can you see if you can do it? If If it's very laborious, I'll go find my fourth uncle to do it," Song Chaoyang drew on the ground after speaking.

The principle of crutches is very simple, it is a shelf to support people, and then wrap the worn clothes on the top, which will wear down the arms too much.

"Well, this is simple, and it looks very practical. I should finish it in less than half an hour." Song Gang said after reading it.During the few days when he rested on the kang, he felt uncomfortable all over, and he was finally able to move around.

"Help me watch over your father, call me when he comes back," Song Gang said.Song Zhaoyang was quite speechless about his father's behavior.When the crutches are ready, Song Lai must know that he is working again, and he will accuse the two of them innocently and sadly.Hey, forget about him, anyway, the big head is with Song Gang.

After a while, Song Chaoyang helped Song Gang make a crutch, and then he wrapped his torn clothes a few times, and a crude crutch took shape.When he and Song Gang were practicing in the yard, Song Lai came back.

"Hey, what are you two playing?" Song Lai saw Song Gang walking with two wooden sticks in his hands after a while, and Song Zhaoyang was behind him.

"Father, look, this is the crutch that father thought of himself. He will be able to walk by himself in the future." Song Zhaoyang separated the relationship as soon as he saw Song Lai.

"Ahem..." Song Gang coughed after hearing this.Brat, it's not kind to throw the blame on him so quickly.

"Brother Gang, why are you moving around again? Didn't I just say..." Song Lai started the sexual meeting that caused the Song family's father the most headache.Seeing this, Song Chaoyang ran away in a hurry.When he was about to run, he was glared at by Song Gang.

Guessing that his pigskin was almost frozen, he found 3 porcelain pots and put the soup from the 3 pots into the porcelain pots.

It's going to be winter soon, this place belongs to the north, and the temperature is not very high, so Song Chaoyang put the porcelain basin in a shaded place to stand still, not sure how long it will take.But it should be fine for dinner.

In the evening, Song Chaoyang saw that the pigskin jelly in the three porcelain pots had already formed, so he cut the pigskin jelly in the three porcelain pots into chunks.Just send some vinegar, onion, ginger and garlic.

"Father, how would you like to try it?" Song Chaoyang asked as soon as it was served on the table.

"Is this what you have been busy all day?" Song Lai curiously tasted one from one of the plates.

"It's so delicious. It has a meaty smell and it's not greasy. The most important thing is that I haven't tried this soft feeling before. It's so delicious. Brother Gang, try one soon," Song Lai said.

"Well, not bad. The taste of these three is a bit strange, but they are delicious." Song Gang said after tasting them all.After talking, I ate with Song Lai all the time.

"Dad, I made this with pigskin. It costs almost nothing. You can make more of this on the day of the house warming. Then you can kill a chicken, buy some fat meat, and fry a few meat dishes. I also made a lot of meat." , you can give it to Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle later," Song Chaoyang and Song Lai said.

After dinner, Song Lai went to his second uncle's house to discuss.Undoubtedly, they chose pork skin jelly as a meat dish, and it can be prepared in many ways and is novel and generous.All three families breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Chaoyang also left some for the old doctor, and the next day he was ordered by Song Lai to buy some "seasoning".The old doctor liked pork skin jelly very much, and asked Song Chaoyang to bring him some later.The old doctor is also a casual person, he likes this child, and he doesn't talk about nonsense.

The house warming day was really busy, Song Zhaoyang got up early in the morning to help Song Lai, and he was in a dizzy state of who I am and what I want to do all day long.Well, the day is finally over.Next is the new life that belongs to their small family.

At night, Song Chaoyang lay on the kang thinking, he is 12 years old, what should he do.In the village, children seem to help the family with work from an early age and do not have to go to school.It's winter now, and there's not much life in the fields.It just needs him to go to the mountains to store some firewood for the winter.This is easy to solve. In the future, he can collect some firewood or chop small trees when he runs up the mountain every day.

Speaking of winter, their winter quilts are still old and hard. The first half of the night is fine, and the kang is still not so cold, but the second half of the night is too cold.

One of his small goals is to earn some money to replace the family with warm quilts.So, here comes the question again, how does he make money?

Self-appraisal of professional skills, except for the types of jobs in the army, I don't know anything else.Isn't it awesome.In addition to joining the army, being a bodyguard, that is, the nursing home here, is a professional counterpart.But his current body is not good at first glance.Let's go to the county again tomorrow to see if there is any way to get rich.
