Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

During the chat, I learned that this kind of thing occasionally happens in several influential pharmacies in Beijing.

However, they were all mentioned verbally and lacked solid evidence, which troubled him.

But for Xie Xuefeng, who has many years of experience in pharmacies, he still has some basic intuition.

All signs indicate that the complex situation behind this is not as ordinary as it seems.

And it's clearly not a good sign.

Although Xie Xuefeng had only known Zhuzi for a short time, he had great interest in this young man.

So a reminder is naturally expected.

He felt relieved to learn that Zhuzi did not need the last batch of medicinal materials.

Then Xie Xuefeng suddenly thought of something.

"You mean the herbs Zhuzi took are different from before? Can you recall what they are?"

Looking at her granddaughter, her eyes flickering as if in deep thought, she quickly remembered:

"Polygonum multiflorum, clove, Adenophora australis..."

Listening to the medicine his granddaughter read out, Xie Xuefeng's eyes flashed with thought.

With his medical knowledge, he could roughly understand the effects of these medicinal herbs.

However, generally speaking, medicinal herbs are not combined in this way.

Because they lacked the main medicine as the core of the formula, even Xie Xuefeng found it difficult to figure out how to mix them.

"Zhu Zi, tell him where he wants to use these medicines?"

At this time, Xie Yingqi spoke with confusion. This question had been lingering in her mind since He Yuzhu came to buy medicine in the morning.

After hearing this, Xie Xuefeng remained silent, but showed a thoughtful expression.

"Perhaps... the pillar is..."

He came up with a guess, but he still couldn't be sure in his heart.

Xie Xuefeng decided to put aside his confusion for the time being and ask in person another day. "Next time Zhuzi comes, we will talk to him about this matter."

In this regard, the curious look in Xie Yingqi's eyes made her think secretly -

Could it be that grandpa doesn’t understand how to use these medicines?

If it were an ordinary person, Xie Yingqi might not be curious about this.

But after several interactions with He Yuzhu, she knew that the other party's knowledge of medicinal materials was even better than hers.

Growing up in a pharmacology family, it is natural for him to achieve such success.

In fact, in Xie Yingqi's memory, few of her peers could surpass her in medical knowledge.

This is also one of the reasons why she was assigned to work in the infirmary after graduating from high school: on the one hand it was due to her family background, and on the other hand it was based on her actual ability.

Among the many nurses, Xie Yingqi is the only one who can prescribe and dispense medicines on her own.

This place was specially left for him by his master to collect some "inconvenient to display"

Items.

Even if He Yuzhu had a hidden space, he needed to pretend that it did not exist so that he would have a reasonable explanation when his master asked him about it.

Therefore, he hid some of the objects in the yard.

As soon as I entered the front yard, I saw the gate guardian of the courtyard, Yan Bugui, and his family were resting in the yard after dinner.

"Hey, Zhuzi, you're back?"

A subtle look flashed across Yan Bugui's eyes, and he took the initiative to greet him.

"Yes, Third Uncle, please continue to rest."

He Yuzhu nodded towards Yan Bugui.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng also dropped the stone in his hand and ran over.

"Brother Zhu, I have big news to tell you!"

Influenced by his parents and knowing He Yuzhu's abilities, he is now fully committed to dating He Yuzhu.

Faced with the scene in front of him, He Yuzhu's eyes were slightly curious.

"Xie Cheng, is there anything new?"

Yan Jie Chengyu first glanced towards the central courtyard, and after making sure that there was no one else there, he leaned close to He Yuzhu's ear and whispered.

"I heard that the matchmaker from the Jia family came today, and the daughter-in-law they wanted is gone!"

Yan Jie Chengdu was well aware of the many offenses that Jia Zhang had committed against He Yuzhu in the past.

Upon hearing the news, He Yuzhu's eyes flashed. He was not surprised by Qin Huairu's refusal because he had planned all this.

However, on the surface, he pretended to be quite surprised.

"Cancelled? I remember Aunt Jia had already made all the arrangements, right?"

Jia Zhang has always been a gossiper with a loud voice. She seemed very excited after the matchmaker came to visit, and many people in the yard knew about it.

As for He Yuzhu's deliberate deaf-muteness, it was naturally because of Yan Bugui and the third aunt beside him.

Although they are usually focused on trivial matters, they are not stupid.

In the original drama, Sha Zhu was discovered by an old lady for stealing Yan Bugui's axle, so he could not repeat the same mistake again.

It's okay to do things behind people's backs, but if it gets out and causes trouble, you'll be asking for trouble.

Although he is getting along well with the third uncle's family now, he will not let himself stand on the wrong side.

"That's right, Brother Zhu, why weren't you there? Otherwise, this would be much more interesting!"

Yan Jiecheng said this naively and frankly.

……

"Really? That's a shame."

He Yuzhu showed a regretful expression, as if he really felt sorry about this matter.

However, Yan Jiecheng said bluntly: "Brother Zhu, what are you regretting? Isn't that Jia Zhang always targeting you? I think this is the result of evil deeds!"

As he spoke, a look of gloating appeared on his face.

On the one hand, this was due to his good impression of He Yuzhu; on the other hand, it was naturally because of the topic of the bride of the Jia family.

In the original plot, Qin Huairu's beauty is unquestionable. Even though she is old, there are still people interested in this widow.

Therefore, when Jia Dongxu suddenly gave up the woman he was about to get, the other young masters were of course happy to see it happen.

Therefore, Yan Jiecheng's gloating was not simply to curry favor with He Yuzhu, but this sentence caused subtle reactions from Yan Bugui and the third aunt who were standing nearby, and the third aunt came forward.

Although Yan Bugui pulled Yan Jiecheng's collar and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Jiecheng, we shouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs."

It is understandable if this statement is said at home, but if it is heard by outsiders and spreads to Jia Zhang, the peace of the family will be in jeopardy.

"Zhuzi, you've been busy all day, go back to your room and have a rest." Third Grandma smiled at Zhuzi again.

He Yuzhu saw her intention and said nothing more, but smiled slightly to show his understanding. "Okay, uncle and aunt, I'm going to rest now."

After saying that, He Yuzhu turned and walked into the yard.

Looking at Zhuzi's receding figure, Yan Bugui and Third Grandma had different expressions.

"Obviously he just found out about this." Yan Bugui said.

They all noticed Zhuzi's behavior when they were talking about the Jia family's affairs just now.

"It's common for Zhuzi to be on the road all the time." Third Grandma agreed.

It is normal to know what happens at home first. If Zhuzi always gets the information in advance, it will inevitably make people suspect that there is something wrong.

But they didn't realize that Zhuzi had a slight smile on his face when he returned to the room, which was to some extent a repayment for Jia Zhang's previous malicious provocation.

How can you not pay the price for doing something wrong?

However, He Yuzhu did not feel guilty about what he had done.

Imagine if I had not become He Yuzhu, and if I had fallen out with my master because of those things, how would I and my sister, who were only 15 years old, have survived? Once I lost my source of income, it would not be surprising for the two siblings to starve to death.

Jia Zhang's behavior is either morally corrupt or may directly endanger the lives of others.

These are all what you deserve.

After entering the house and taking a short rest, He Yuzhu took out "The True Explanation of Medical Theory" and began to study it.

The medicinal herbs he brought back from Shuxiang Pavilion have been placed in the storage room of his space.

With the strength of a two-star pharmacist, he planned to prepare a medicated diet for his master this time.

Those medicinal herbs are more of a supplement, and the real focus is on the cooked meals.

The ancients said: Three parts medicine and seven parts diet.

In medicinal diet, the selection of ingredients is more important than the selection of herbs.

However, the reason why He Yuzhu has not started yet is because of the selection of ingredients.

Although he had stored food in his space and also bought it on the market, in order to make food supplements that could match the level of a mana practitioner, he still had to be more meticulous in the ingredients needed.

He Yuzhu thought: "I have to find time and opportunity to go to the countryside."

In this era, most of the meat on the market comes from farmers or free-range, and does not contain technological fattening agents. It is not difficult to find wild animals in the countryside or even in the mountains.

Medicinal food cooked with such ingredients will have the best effect.

But now you need a pass to go out, so it’s not so easy to leave the city.

The matchmaker and Jia Zhang took the bus into the city for a blind date, and these were all registered activities.

If He Yuzhu wants to go to such a place, he must go to the Military Administration Office to apply for a travel permit.

This was a perfect opportunity to visit the hidden base of the enemy spies outside the city. He used the excuse of looking for food ingredients and said that he was going out to find medicine and supplements for his master, so that no one would notice that he had left the city.

With a plan in place, He Yuzhu continued to study "The True Explanation of Medical Theory" in depth.

[Medical Science +1][Medical Science +1][Medical Science +1][Medical Science +1]…

It was dawn the next day.

After Jia Dongxu finished tidying up, he walked to the door of Yi Mansion and knocked gently.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai appeared at the door. "Master."

Jia Dongxu nodded to his master. "Well, let's go."

Yi Zhonghai said no more.

At work today, he had other things to deal with with his apprentice.

Just as he was about to leave, He Yuzhu also packed up his house and came out. "Zhuzi."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu gestured to him.

He Yuzhu nodded in response. "Zhuzi, remember what I said before. The steel mill should be shut down now."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered something and reminded again.

Today is already the 27th, and there are only two days left before production is suspended.

He Yuzhu heard this and also remembered this incident.

His poor old father is still collecting his salary.

Although he has money now, he will never miss this salary that belongs to him.

So he said, "Okay, I'll talk to my boss and ask him to give me some time off after get off work tomorrow so I can go get my dad's salary."

After saying that, He Yuzhu walked towards the door first.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu followed closely behind.

After leaving the courtyard gate, the two of them went their separate ways.

On the way, Yi Zhonghai was still thinking about this question in his mind.

He asked He Yuzhu to collect his father's salary not simply out of concern, but he had deeper plans in mind.

The recent events in the Jia family made him as nervous as a drum.
