Magical Medicine in ancient times

Chapter 138 Osmanthus Cake

In the past few days of reconstruction, not only the workers were busy, but even Zhou Jin was too busy.I'm going to see how the wooden furniture is doing in a while.For a while, I have to take care of the medical center, and for a while, I have to go to the clinic to discuss the details of the relocation with the workers and masters.

Although busy, it is also fulfilling.

At noon that day, he just went to the clinic and saw that the workers were sweating profusely. There was a lot of wood in a mess on the ground, and the sawdust was also spread on the ground in a thick layer. Even the air seemed to be choking. of dust.

He scanned around and saw that there was nothing to worry about, so he planned to go back to the room to rest for a while.

As soon as I entered the backyard, the aroma of food came to my nostrils.

The kitchen is also in full swing, and the smoke is steaming.Through the doors and windows, one can vaguely see the busy figures inside.

Because there are more meals to be prepared for the workers in the past few days, Sister Chen came to make preparations in advance.

Fortunately, Xiaotong has already gone to the academy in the town to study.For lunch, Zhou Jin also asked him to come directly to the medical clinic to eat together.After school in the afternoon, I also come directly to have dinner together, and then go home with Sister Chen.

There was very little smoke on the roof, and the cooking smoke floated straight into the sky along the chimney, and when the wind blew, it scattered into the clouds.

He kept walking towards the room, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

He immediately stopped and looked over.But it turned out that the figure was exactly number o1.

He was a little chubby squatting under the tall and lush osmanthus tree, his little butt was up and down, and he didn't know what he was doing.Zhou Jin was curious for a moment, so he walked up.

"What are you squatting here for?" Zhou Jin stretched out his hand and slapped his little butt.

No. 01 swayed forward violently and almost fell.He turned his head in dissatisfaction, his soft eyebrows were tugged, his small mouth was bulging, and there were still some pale yellow pastry residues at the corners of his mouth.

"What are you eating again?" This guy, every time I see him, he is either eating or eating, anyway, that mouth is not idle.But some hobbies are also good, anyway, he can't eat badly.If he went out to look for entertainment, he was really afraid that he would find trouble for him with his ability to reach heaven and earth!

Seeing that it was Zhou Jin on the 01st, his mouth squirmed quickly, swallowing the contents of his mouth, and then he said, "Ah Jin, do you want to try it? It's delicious!"

He lifted the small bag next to his stomach.Huh!Isn't this a small bag that he insisted on buying a few days ago!

The bag is red on the front and off-white on the back.The workmanship is not bad, but to say how exquisite it is, it is not so good.That is, it is easy to carry.A long rope at the cuff can be tied directly around the waist.

See you on the 01st, I will buy it immediately!At that time, Zhou Jin was still curious and asked him why he bought it, but this guy was mysterious, so he just didn't say anything.It turned out to be this usage!

He looked at the small bag held up in front of him, feeling a little disgusted, saying that in the eyes of No. 01, what is not delicious?

Alas, actually thinking about it carefully, he can't blame him for becoming a foodie.When I was a human, I only knew that I was buried in the laboratory, and I was a standard otaku.Eating is directly solved by advanced nutrient solution.

Later, it became a system, and it has not been eaten for hundreds of years.It's not easy to turn back into a human, but not everything is delicious!

However, if you don't like it, look at No. 01's big bright eyes, and he still reaches out to take the small bag.

As soon as the bag was opened, a burst of fragrance immediately overflowed, and Zhou Jin suddenly felt a little relieved from his tired spirit.

what is this?The peculiarity of the scent aroused his curiosity.He looked into the bag, but saw that there were neat yards of pastries inside.It's just that the light is a bit dim, so I can't see clearly.

He reached in and picked up a piece, a finger-long pastry, square and pale yellow.

"Ah Jin, eat it quickly! It's really delicious!" No. 01 urged.

Zhou Jin put the pastry into his mouth, a sweet taste immediately filled his taste buds, and the faint aroma filled his nose, even his tongue seemed to melt in the sweetness.He subconsciously stuffed the whole pastry into his mouth.

"What kind of pastry is this? Where did you buy it?" Zhou Jin swallowed the pastry in his mouth a few times. The pastry was soft and sweet, not greasy or greasy, and it lingered in his mouth after eating it.

No. 01 raised the corners of his mouth proudly, "I didn't buy this, you can't guess it!"

Didn't buy it?Could it be that it was stolen?

Zhou Jin's heart tightened. According to No. 01's foodie nature, it's unknown if he really went to get their pastries.He was busy wondering if any pastry shop had been burglarized recently.After all, if it is so delicious, the business must be good, and the common people must have mentioned it in their conversations.

He looked a little confused, thinking about how to speak better.

Unexpectedly, before he could think of words, No. 01 suddenly smiled, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Sister Chen! It's delicious! You can't buy it outside!"

Zhou Jin froze, coughed in embarrassment, and then laughed: "It turned out that Sister Chen did it. The craftsmanship is really good! Why haven't I seen her do it before!"

so close!so close!Fortunately, he hasn't said it yet!

"Wait, sweet-scented osmanthus cake? What is this sweet-scented osmanthus?" Zhou Jin looked up at the lush branches.

"That's right, it's this sweet-scented osmanthus!" No. 01 nodded his chin, and the old god said: "I really didn't expect the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by this sweet-scented osmanthus to be so delicious! It's not in vain that we sprinkled so much Psionic Sand on him! Or Useful!"

Zhou Jin glanced at the ground, only to suddenly realize that the sweet-scented osmanthus that usually covered the yard seemed to be missing a lot!I just didn't expect that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake would be so delicious.

Zhou Jin felt a little greedy after eating a few pieces. Looking at the osmanthus scattered on the ground, he felt that there was no need to waste it!

"Where are the sweet-scented osmanthus from before? Have you picked them up?"

No. 01 reached into the bag with his fat hand, took out a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, "I put it all away! Otherwise, it would be a pity to let him rot on the ground!"

Zhou Jin hurriedly took a look in the space, and sure enough, he saw that several storage compartments were piled up with fresh osmanthus flowers layered on top of each other. Just by looking at them, he felt as if there was a strong scent of osmanthus flowers in his nostrils. Drill in.

"It's a pity that Sister Chen doesn't want to make too much. I just ordered this, and I finally asked her to do it!" No. 01 looked sad, and took another bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"That's strange. Didn't she always like you very much? Why wouldn't she want to make osmanthus cake for you?"

If you want to say who cares most about No. 01 in this clinic, besides Zhou Jin, it is Sister Chen!Probably because the appearance of No. 01 is really cute, and she is about the same age as Xiao Tong, plus Zhou Jin weaves the miserable life experience of a homeless child, which made Sister Chen feel infinite pity in her heart.

Every time before cooking, I have to ask No. 01 what he wants to eat, and he will be satisfied with a smile when he sees the delicious food.He was almost responsive to his requests, and treated No. 01 as his second son.

She even came to find Zhou Jin privately and asked No. 01 to go to school with Xiao Tong.She probably felt that Zhou Jin was busy on weekdays, and he was a big man who was not careful enough, so she didn't think about it.

It was also at this time that Zhou Jin realized that No. 01 was old enough to go to the academy for enlightenment.

It's a pity that No. 01 is not an ordinary child. If you really want him to go to the academy for enlightenment, it will be torture.Zhou Jin felt very empathetic, and after mentioning it once, he received strong objections from No. 01, so he didn't care about it anymore.

Therefore, No. 01 continued to stay away from home every day, and he was there wherever there was delicious food in the town.He has become the little golden boy of the whole town.Almost everyone doesn't know him.

Fortunately, Zhou Jin treats No. 01 very well on weekdays. No one will think that he is reluctant to let this adopted "poor kid" go to school because he is reluctant to part with the money.

On the contrary, I feel that Dr. Zhou is too spoiled and refuses to force the child to study in the academy.

Zhou Jin didn't care about this reputation, just dote on him!It's better than really forcing No. 01 to go to the academy and then messing with him.

"It's not the fault of this sacred tree!" No. 01 flattened her mouth in dissatisfaction, "Sister Chen insisted that the sacred tree should not be offended! Just this little, I was willing to do it after asking for it. No more! "

No. 01 suddenly ran over and hugged Zhou Jin, and said with a smile, "Ah Jin, let Sister Chen do more! These sweet-scented osmanthus flowers will rot if they are left here!"

Zhou Jin pushed his face away, and said with a smile: "Then you continue to pick up these sweet-scented osmanthus, don't get dirty! I'll tell her."

"Yeah!" No. 01 jumped up and cheered, tied the bag around his waist, and got busy while eating.

Zhou Jin walked towards the kitchen, puffs of hot air came out from the door.

The three figures in the kitchen were extremely busy, chopping vegetables, washing vegetables and lighting the fire. Although they were busy, they were organized and did not appear to be chaotic.Obviously, several of them are used to doing kitchen work.

"Sister Chen, the pork is all cut up, is there any extra bowls?" There were several plates of cut vegetables placed beside the chopping board, Qian Shuang looked for them, but she didn't find any extra big bowls, so she turned her head to the stove Chen Xiufang in front of the stage asked.

"Yes, yes! There is a big bowl under the cabinet over there, take it out and wash it! Ah Qiong, turn the fire up, I'm going to fry fish!"

"Okay!" The woman sitting in front of the stove skillfully stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove hole, and the fire raged instantly, making her face flush red.

Qian Shuang put down the kitchen knife, went to the cabinet next to her, her eyes widened suddenly, "Doctor Zhou!"

The people in the kitchen suddenly heard her scream, and quickly turned their heads to look at the door.I happened to see Zhou Jin stepping into the kitchen.

Chen Xiufang's first reaction was to go over.It's just that she immediately realized that she was still holding the spatula in her hand, and the fish in the pot was still beeping.

She had no choice but to stand where she was, with one hand still carefully turning over the fish, "Doctor Zhou, why are you here? This kitchen is smoky! How choking!"

Zhou Jin also noticed that the faces of the three ladies in the kitchen were all flushed and glistening.

"Sorry, did I delay you?"

"No! No!" All three of them had smiles on their faces, and their hands were still busy in an orderly manner.

"That's right, Sister Chen, did you make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for Xiao Luo yesterday?"

Sister Chen gave a hand, and her smile suddenly became a little forced, "Yes, Doctor Zhou! I... I also know that the sacred tree flower can't be touched casually, I just..."

The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and her free hand began to twitch the apron uneasily.

Qian Shuang and Arjun also seemed to sense something was wrong, and their movements slowed down.

Chen Xiufang was very annoyed. She knew that the sacred tree could not be moved, but why did she still make sweet-scented osmanthus cake!Doctor Zhou asked now, is he going to drive her away?

There was a sudden panic in her heart.She can't live without this job!If this job is lost, Xiao Tong will not be able to go to the academy.Not only that, I'm afraid they even have problems eating.

The fish was still crackling in the frying pan, but the spatula in her hand was not as proficient as before, and she was quite at a loss as she touched the fish.

Zhou Jin saw Chen Xiufang's eyes suddenly turned red, and Monk Zhang Er was immediately puzzled.

He laughed and said: "Sister Chen, I don't want to blame you! I know Xiao Luo is greedy! You are also pestered by him. Just now he gave me a taste of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and it tasted very good. I just wanted to ask Can you do more?"

Chen Xiufang was taken aback, and after quickly digesting Zhou Jin's meaning, joy burst out on her face, "Oh! Doctor Zhou, as long as you like it! Of course it's okay to make more! It's this sweet-scented osmanthus..."

After all, it is the flower of the sacred tree, how dare they handle it casually!

Zhou Jin smiled: "It's okay, I'll send the sweet-scented osmanthus to you later. Make more when you're free, and count as much as you can make!"

Chen Xiufang hastily responded.

Zhou Jin left after explaining, he was afraid that the few people in the kitchen would feel uncomfortable if he stayed there.

Chen Xiufang's men quickly took the fish out.There was still a little bit of happiness in her heart.

The pounding heartbeat reminded her of her mood just now.She hasn't felt this kind of fear and worry for a long time.Since I came to work in the hospital, the days when I was so desperate that I had to cry every night have long since ceased to exist.

She is getting happier and happier now, and she is more and more hopeful about the future.She really didn't want to lose the job.

Qian Shuang and Arjun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Aqiong patted his chest in fear, "Just now when Doctor Zhou came over, I thought something was wrong! Sister Xiu, did you really use osmanthus to make osmanthus cake?"

Aqiong is Chen Xiufang's neighbor, she is straight-hearted, there is no beating around the bush.Conditions at home are not good either.The husband is an honest man and goes to work at the boss's house every day.Can't speak, only know how to work hard and be squeezed out.The wages are not high, and will be able to support two people.They had another son last year, and life was even more difficult.

Chen Xiufang looked at them and thought of her past self.She thought of helping out if she could, and told Zhou Jin to come over to help in the kitchen.

Let's not talk about the wages or anything else, just the big fish and meat makes people overwhelmed and want to come here.There were several times more courteous women at the door of Chen Xiufang's house than usual, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to come to the medical clinic to help with the kitchen.

In the end, Chen Xiufang didn't expect that he would pick the idiot Aqiong, and everyone was so angry with hatred, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Although Arjun is not very shrewd, he also knows that this is a good job.After eating every day, there would be some food left in the kitchen, and Dr. Zhou was generous and expensive, so he didn't like to eat these leftovers, so he asked them to watch and pack them back.

Because of this, her family also started eating meat.It's been Chinese New Year since the last time I ate meat.But not as happy as it is now.

She was grateful to Chen Xiufang in her heart, and worked harder.

Chen Xiufang nodded, "Well, just the day before yesterday, Xiao Luo insisted on eating. I saw him squatting under a tree chewing sweet-scented osmanthus. It was poor, so I made some."

Aqiong said "Oh", "Just now Doctor Zhou asked you to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, sister Xiu, I'll help you too! But Doctor Zhou really loves Mr. Luo! Even Shenshuhua is willing to make it to eat! "

"That's for sure. Doctor Zhou treats Xiao Luo just like his own. Let's start making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes after we're done in the afternoon!"

"Xiufang, let me help too! Anyway, I'm fine!"

The knife in Qian Shuang's hand was cutting vegetables quickly on the cutting board, and the sharp blade cut the vegetables into thin slices very neatly.

She is the wife of Huang Bin, the foreman, and it's not the first time she has come to her husband's employer to help in the kitchen.She doesn't have anything to do at home, it's just that she is busy with family affairs and eats three meals a day.

Once Huang Bin's owner's cook was injured, there was a shortage of manpower in the kitchen, and no one could be found to replace her for a while.Huang Bin asked Qian Shuang to help.

Anyway, it's all kitchen work, and it's not difficult for her to do it every day.You can also have a good meal together, no matter what.

After a long time, I got used to it. As long as the distance is not far and the host's kitchen needs help, Huang Bin will recommend his wife to help.

But this time it is the most generous owner!

No wonder her husband was more anxious than ever when he asked her to come over, for fear that if it was too late, there would be no chance!

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. If you delay for a while, this position will probably be taken by another woman.Now she is only thankful that she runs fast.

Look at the tough meat, it's more than she's eaten in the past year!

Lunch was ready soon, and the workers came over to eat after work.This time is their happiest time.

A dozen strong men crowded around the table, sweating profusely from eating.

The aroma of the dishes on the table whetted the appetite of these men who had been busy all morning, and they all opened their stomachs to eat loudly.

Zhou Jin didn't treat these workers badly. He entertained them with snow-white rice, thick steamed buns, and large pieces of fat meat.

These workers are full of greasy mouths while eating, and they work with extra vigor.

They ate hard, and there was no other sound in the dining room except the sound of eating.

After so many years of work, Dr. Zhou is the most generous.Too bad it's only a few days.

Thinking of this, everyone felt regretful.Busily stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth!

The meal was swept away, and soon, there were only leftovers on the table.

The man patted his chubby belly and said loudly, "This cook is really good at cooking! This dish is so delicious! It's a pity that my stomach can't hold it anymore!" His face showed regret, and his eyes were still lingering on the leftovers on the table. Serve.

"Is it the craftsmanship? I think this dish is good! Look at how thick the meat is, and the oil! My family can fry it for days! Isn't this delicious!" Another man smacked his lips, looking It is a pity to see the oil on the plate.

"Doctor Zhou is so generous! I have been working for so many years, and this is the best food!"

"It's good that you know!" Huang Bin wiped the oil from his lips, and said in a rough voice, "Doctor Zhou is sincere to us, and all the food we eat is good. Look at this white rice!"

He patted his empty rice bowl, "We must not be ungrateful, remember to be careful when working, and don't be lazy! If something goes wrong later, we will behave in the future!"

The other workers quickly agreed after hearing this.

"Then how can I! I'm just a nail hammering and knocking, I'm afraid it will be crooked!"

"That's right, we must be careful! You can't eat so much meat from Dr. Zhou for nothing!"

"That's right, I've eaten the meat these days very happily. I haven't eaten as much meat as I have in the past few days..."

After eating, everyone rested for a while and got busy again.

Time passed quickly, and the clinic has almost been remodeled, and there is no need to remove formaldehyde, and it can be moved in and used directly.

After removing the extra shelves, the whole shop looks much more spacious and bright.

The space of the three consultation tables on the left is completely blocked by hollowed-out shelves, and the doctors sit inside, and there is also a relatively private space.

A boxy window is opened on the diagnosis and treatment table, which is suitable for communication and pulse diagnosis between doctors and patients.There is a small door on the side for doctors to come in and out.

The day when the work was completed happened to be in the evening.Zhou Jin treated the masters to a meal.The plaque has already been sent over.They were all driven out by the master carpenter and his apprentices.

Zhou Jin had roughly calculated when the project would be completed, and he had already reserved a banquet at Xunyi Building.

In the evening, Shanggui Gouzi and the others couldn't wait to pack their luggage, and carried them to the next door one by one.Xiao Qi had already moved his things from his uncle's house to the hospital in the morning, and now he followed them there with his luggage.

Several people excitedly went to the clinic.

Zhou Jin helped them carry their luggage together, and carried a bucket to wipe everything clean.

Lanterns are hung on the porch, illuminating the clean stone slabs in the yard bright red, and the figures coming and going reveal the warmth and tranquility of the family.

Gouzi wiped the bed frame carefully, even the legs of the frame.Only then did all the quilts be spread on, and the corners of the quilt were evened out, so that the quilt was spread evenly, and it was thick and warm at first glance.

He picked out the small things he usually used one by one from the bag, and put them neatly on the cabinet one by one.Then fold the clothes and put them in the closet.He took out the shoes and patted them on, and placed them neatly behind the door.

After putting away all the things, he glanced around, frowned, hurriedly ran to the backyard of the hospital, took out a candlestick and candles and came back.Put it carefully on the cabinet by the window, and then light the candle.

The flickering flame instantly made the room dim and yellow.

He carefully stringed the keys Zhou Jin gave him and hung them around his neck.Only then did she sit back on the bed, gently stroked the soft bedding with her hands, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

From now on, this is his home!
