A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

The two ate up the bear's paws with white rice, and Song Qinghan almost had to lean on the wall to stand up by the end of the meal.

"No wonder people in the book say that bear's paws are delicious. They are really delicious! It's a pity that there is no cumin."

Wu Dahu reacted as if he was drunk when he saw him, and asked amusedly, "What is cumin? I'll help you find it."

Song Qinghan's eyes lit up, and he gestured with both hands: "It's probably such a big plant with yellow flowers and small seeds on it. It tastes a bit special, like star anise."

Wu Dahu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I seem to have seen it in the mountains. Once when I walked the wrong way, there appeared in front of me the kind of plant you mentioned, a whole large area. Although it looks good, it smells bad. Some, so I didn't look closely, but from your description, it should be the kind of thing you said."

Song Qinghan slapped his hands and said excitedly: "What about the pepper? It's about this high, and there are strings of small round balls hanging on it, some green and some red."

Wu Dahu said uncertainly: "I seem to have seen it, and it was also in the mountains, but I can't remember the exact location. I just remember tasting one when I was a child, and found that I couldn't eat it, so I stopped paying attention to that kind of thing."

Song Qinghan patted him on the shoulder happily, and comforted him: "It's okay, as long as you know there are in the mountains. I'm so stupid. I didn't think of asking you before. It must be affected by pregnancy. I wasn't so stupid before.. ...."

Seeing the puzzled expression on his face, Wu Dahu supported his waist with a funny face, sent him into the room, and said slowly: "Stupid or not, enough is enough. You can sleep here tonight, sleep there." I'm afraid of squeezing you, and my injury is not healed when I sleep here, and it's dirty and troublesome."

Song Qinghan acted coquettishly and protested: "No! I want to sleep with you, you should be warmer!"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Wu Dahu's face, he touched the wound on his body, and said hesitantly: "I probably can't help you warm your feet now, if it's cold...then burn the kang!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out, took a lot of firewood, and started to help Song Qinghan burn the kang.

Song Qinghan helplessly held his forehead, and a doting smile appeared on his mouth.

It's really a lump of wood, the point is to "sleep together", not to warm your feet...

But when Song Qinghan was lying on the warm kang, he immediately threw away the idea of ​​sleeping with Wu Dahu for nine days, and fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Wu Dahu helped him tuck the quilt, and after blowing out the candles, he went to the kitchen alone, and silently made all the remaining bear meat into jerky, and went back to his room to sleep when the moon was at the end of the night.

Early the next morning, Song Qinghan was woken up by the heat.

This is probably the disadvantage of the kang. If the quilt is naturally warm, people will stay in bed and don't want to get up, but if it is a quilt warmed by external factors, they will just want to wake up after waking up and don't want to stay in bed.

He rubbed his eyes and walked into the kitchen. After seeing the neat stack of jerky, he said in surprise, "Dahu! Did you finish all the jerky by yourself?"

Wu Dahu just came back from the outside, and said with a smile: "Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's eat, I just sent something to Grandpa Qin."

Song Qinghan went over to check his wound, and felt relieved when he saw that nothing was wrong.

After the two finished their meal, Song Qinghan changed Wu Dahu's medicine. Seeing that he was impatient to go out, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where do you want to go? Go into the mountains again?"

Wu Dahu nodded innocently, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say you want cumin and pepper? I don't have anything to do today anyway, so I'll look for it."

Song Qinghan thought for a while, but didn't refuse outright, and asked, "Do you still remember the danger where you encountered Cumin at that time?"

Wu Dahu thought for a moment, and answered honestly: "There was no prey on the way. I just wandered there. If there is no change, it should not be dangerous."

Song Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Then I'll go with you, finish it early and come back early, Laifu should come over at noon, and deliver food to Grandpa Qin."

Seeing his insistence, Wu Dahu didn't speak to persuade him, but silently put the dagger in his sleeve so that he could take it out at any time.

After the two closed the courtyard door, they walked towards the back mountain like a walk.

Sure enough, as Wu Dahu said along the way, he hardly encountered any prey, and occasionally one or two hares ran away quickly.

Probably because Song Qinghan was by his side, the pressure on Wu Dahu's shoulders was relatively high, but he actually showed his potential and successfully found the place in his memory.

Song Qinghan looked at the cumin plant in front of him in surprise, and said excitedly: "Let's dig some and go back to plant it! There are still places to plant in the left and right homes!"

Wu Dahu nodded obediently, bent down, dug out more than a dozen plants with a hoe, and threw them into the basket.

Because cumin can be preserved for a long time after being dried, Song Qinghan didn't let Wu Dahu show mercy, and the two picked all the remaining cumin together, and finally filled a whole big bag of cumin seeds.

When going back, Wu Dahu thought for a while, but instead of going back the same way, he went in another direction.

It's just that this time it didn't seem to go so smoothly, the two of them were almost lost in the woods, if Wu Dahu hadn't stopped the loss in time and simply walked back, maybe they wouldn't be able to get out.

But in this way, it is "inadvertently inserting willows and willows into shade".

When Song Qinghan glanced at the pepper tree in the distance, he said excitedly: "There! Let's move the tree back together!"

Wu Dahu looked at the pepper trees there, chose the smallest one, dug up the root, and put it aside.

After picking pepper, the two of them had exhausted almost half of their physical strength, and then wasted the rest of their strength by walking around. At this time, they seemed powerless when picking pepper.

Song Qinghan picked it for a while, and really didn't even want to lift his hands. Panting, he looked at Wu Dahu and said, "Let's go back first, write down this place, and come back next time."

Wu Dahu also felt a dull pain in the wound, afraid of causing the wound to burst, so he stopped forcing, stopped and said: "Okay, it's almost noon."

The two carried the pepper tree and walked slowly down the mountain.

After returning home, the two didn't rush to deal with the things they brought back. They drank a few sips of water, rested for a while, and started cooking lunch.

When Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu went to deliver lunch to Grandpa Qin, they changed the medicine for him by the way.

Grandpa Qin's trauma has recovered relatively well. Not only is there no inflammation, there are even signs of scabs.

It's just his bone crack... After Song Qinghan touched it, there was still worry in his eyes.

The physical fitness of the elderly is relatively poor, and the calcium element is lost faster, so recovery is naturally slower.

However, it is said that a bone fracture lasts for a hundred days. Although a fractured bone is not considered a serious illness, it will take a while to fully recover, so he once again told Grandpa Qin not to move around, and went back with Wu Dahu.

This kind of thing can't be rushed. After three days, as long as the trauma gradually improves, the bone fracture can be cured slowly.

After the two went back to have lunch, Laifu just knocked on the door.

He and his servants probably came directly without even returning home, so the things on the bullock cart seemed particularly rich.

After moving down the things Song Qinghan needed, Laifu was about to leave.

Wu Dahu hurriedly stopped him, moved something from the yard, put it on their ox cart, and said, "You can take this thing back, it should be worth the money for these things."

Laifu took a closer look and saw that it was the bear skin that he was thinking about so much. He couldn't close his mouth for joy, and waved his hands again and again: "How can this be done? These things are doctor Song's fee for Zhu'er's medical treatment, and the bear skin is another time." things, don’t confuse them.”

As he spoke, he took out five taels of silver from his pocket, and resolutely stuffed it into Wu Dahu's hand.

Wu Dahu thought for a while, but didn't accept Laifu's money, and asked tentatively, "Your fur business...do you need help?"

Laifu was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what he meant, he was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said, "If Brother Dahu is willing to join, that would be great, but doing business is risky, and I'm afraid I won't be able to tell for a while, so how about it?" , let's find some time in the afternoon to have a good talk, how about it?"

Wu Dahu naturally wouldn't refuse, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, brother Laifu went to the town and it's hard work, go back and rest quickly, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon."

Laifu happily agreed, and seeing that Wu Dahu still refused to accept his money, he thought for a while and said, "In that case, the money will be placed with me for the time being, and if Brother Dahu is willing to join, then it will be considered How about the share money?"

After finishing speaking, seeing that Wu Dahu didn't object, he smiled heartily, waved his hands and said, "I'll go back to eat first, let's talk about the rest tomorrow afternoon!"

Wu Dahu couldn't stop him, so he nodded and watched him go away with his servants.

Song Qinghan said thoughtfully: "He only said that if you are willing to join, what will happen to the money, and he didn't say that you don't want to join. It seems that you will definitely join, even if this business is risky."

Wu Dahu sighed and said: "Yes, he is indeed a businessman. Although he looks simple and honest, his eyes are very fierce. If there is no accident, I will definitely join this time. The fur business Quick money, a busy winter, and we can move to the town and beyond."

Although Song Qinghan didn't know that the reason why Wu Dahu wanted to move was because he was stimulated by Laifu, but as a man, he naturally had the desire to be promoted step by step. It's boring.

The two of them sorted out the things they bought from Laifu, and planted the pepper trees and cumin plants brought back from the mountains in the open area of ​​the backyard, and then began to process pepper and cumin.
