what!Ginseng is refined!

The old emperor died at an inappropriate time. After the order was issued, the shops that already had a lively atmosphere of the New Year sold their red goods one after another.Yancheng is a border city, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. For them, the emperor's life and death is not a big deal, but the old general who guards one side is the big deal.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the old general personally supervised and beheaded the dog officer. He counted all kinds of crimes committed by the dog officer. "The plague is such a heartless act, it is really not a pity to die.

Although the old general looked weak, he was obviously recovering. The death of the emperor could not arouse the grief in people's hearts. I quietly bought festive things that were supposed to be used for the New Year, including red couplets, and took them home to close the door. Most soldiers turned a blind eye and didn't care about the common people.

Chu Wenjing and Xiao Tianyun also followed Du Qiang to buy what they wanted in the store. On the surface, it seemed that the merchants took those items off the shelves very honestly, but they were not.Du Qiang walked back with two jugs of wine, "Are you leaving now?"

Chu asked Jing: "Are you going back for the New Year? I'll talk to Uncle Fu Gui."

Du Qiang: "This matter is over for the time being, but I can't leave. I will be officially transferred from a remote city before the Chinese New Year. The old general's health has not fully recovered. I have to take care of him. Please help me bring some things back."

"No," Xiao Tianyun said, "the carriage won't fit."

After more than ten days of getting along with him, Du Qiang had already become familiar with him, so he punched Xiao Tianyun on the shoulder, "If you can't let go, get out of the car and leave."

Chu Wenjing held Xiao Tianyun back, "Stop making trouble."

Du Qiang: "Really don't want to stay and eat dumplings before leaving? Today is Xiaonian."

"Let's go home and eat." Xiao Tianyun said.

Old Wu loaded everything into the carriage, tied it up with ropes, and left.

Du Qiang handed the letter to his parents and Du Zhuang to Chu Wenjing, and sent him out of the city gate before returning.

Before dark, Lao Wu drove the carriage to Dujiazhuang, then got off and took the carriage and walked into the village, until he walked to the medical hall - there was a big lock on the door of the medical hall, and the door was not opened.

The lock was hung from the outside, which proved that the old doctor had gone out.

After removing the things from the car, they piled them up at the entrance of the clinic, Lao Wu was in a hurry to rush back to the prefect's mansion to spend the new year, Chu Wenjing and Xiao Tianyun didn't want to keep him anymore, and sent him away.Chu Wenjing went to Du Zhuang's house, and Xiao Tianyun went to Du Feng's house, one to the east and the other to the west, separately.

Xiao Tianyun ran fast, and went around Du Feng's house, except for Du Feng's sentence "I haven't seen him for more than ten days and he's gone up again", he didn't see the old doctor.

Chu Wenjing went to Du Zhuang's house, and Du Zhuang went out to play with his friends. Only Du Fugui and his wife were at home. Chu Wenjing told them Du Qiang's beliefs and told them about Du Qiang's situation at the border.

The husband and wife heard him talk at first, and they were not anxious about Du Qiang's letter, but happy that he could talk, and asked a lot.A long list of past events can't help but sigh, Chu Wenjing only said a few words, and he was cured by chance in Yancheng.

Du Fugui still sighed, "The old doctor's previous treatment is still effective."

Chu asked Jing: "...what treatment?"

He always used the wine at home. After a long time, Chu Wenjing found out. The old doctor stood in the yard and read the guarantee letter aloud ten times, promising that he would never steal alcohol again.

The old doctor was very wronged and took the blame for stealing alcohol, so he turned his head and asked Du Fugui to help him buy alcohol. Du Fugui knew that he could not drink, so he refused, so the old doctor told Du Fugui about the "drunkenness treatment" After that, I got help from Du Fugui.

Du Fugui also promised not to tell, and not to let Chu Wenjing know, but now that Chu Wenjing is able to speak, there is no question of whether to say or not, so he happily told Chu Wen what the old doctor and him said thorn.

The sun sets early in winter, and it was already dark when Chu Wenjing came out from Du Zhuang's house. Du Zhuang had had enough fun, and walked home in a hop, and accidentally bumped into Chu Wenjing.

Chu asked Jing: "Zhuang Zhuang, do you know where Master has gone?"

Du Zhuang first said happily: "Ask Brother Jing, are you back?"

"I'm back," Chu Wenjing picked up Du Zhuang and asked again, "Zhuang Zhuang, where did master go?"

Du Zhuang: "Ask Brother Jing, can you talk now? That's great."

Chu asked Jing: "..."

Xiao Tianyun ran around the village without finding anyone, so he had to come back first. He had better eyesight, and saw Chu Wenjing hugging Du Zhuang from afar, feeling a little awkward, walked over, wanting to slap Du Zhuang.

Chu Wenjing caught him in time, and asked again, "Zhuang Zhuang, where is Master?"

Xiao Tianyun: "You follow Master every day, where did Master go?"

"..." Du Zhuang: "Ask Brother Jing, let me down."

Xiao Tianyun: "Do you want to run?"

"No." Chu Wenjing put him down, Du Zhuang twisted his ass, ran to the door of the medical hall, squatted down, and didn't know what he was doing.

Chu Wenjing and Xiao Tianyun looked at each other and followed, Xiao Tianyun joked: "You wouldn't say that Master made a hole in the ground, right?"

Du Zhuang: "...No."

Du Zhuang took out a key from under the big rock at the door, unlocked it, and handed the key to Chu Wenjing, "Master is at home, he is lazy and doesn't want to work, and he has no good excuse not to open the clinic." , let me lock the door and pretend he went out."

Chu asked Jing and Xiao Tianyun: "..."

After sending Du Zhuang to the door of his house, Chu Wenjing and Xiao Tianyun came back to move things inside, passed through the medical hall, and pushed open the back door of the medical hall. In the dark yard, there was a candle burning on the stone table. The bright, candle-lit room was the kitchen.

The old doctor was stirring the dumpling stuffing, and muttering as he made it, "Didn't Old Wu of Zhang Jining's family sell these two dolls to hard labor? They haven't come back for more than ten days. Does Rong Xingwu, a dead old man, look at them?" Seeing that my apprentice's medical skills are very good, he won't let him go?..."

Chu Wenjing stood at the door of the kitchen and knocked on the kitchen door. The old doctor came back to his senses, "Who is not open today... Wen Jing?"

Chu asked Jing: "Master, are the dumplings good? Do you want me to help you?"

The old doctor didn't speak, his eyes were wet, "Qing Jing, please say it again."

Chu asked Jing, "Are the dumplings good? I'll make them for you."

"Okay, take care of yourself. Where is that dead boy Xiao Tianyun? Why are you the only one? You won't be able to change shape, so you should shrink back." The old doctor said, "The moon hasn't climbed up yet."

After putting away his things, Xiao Tianyun took the candied haws he bought from Yancheng, and came out from behind Chu Wenjing's shoulder, "Master, look what I brought you?"

……

Xiao Tianyun put the basin containing the dumpling stuffing on the stone table, listened to Master Qizi's instructions and turned left three times and then three times, stirring with chopsticks.

Next to the stuffing pot was a chopping board for dumplings, Xiao Tianyun finished mixing the dumpling stuffing, Chu Wenjing rolled out the skins, and the old doctor blew out the candles in the kitchen.

The three of them sat down around half of the stone table, and there was a large flower pot on the other half. Xiao Tianyun's body had just climbed in and buried himself. Ginseng leaves grew out of the soil and circled around the mushroom. The canopy narrowed a little to allow him to stretch out.

Chu Wenjing slowed down and pinched the dumplings one by one, Xiao Tianyun made them while watching, "Don't let me, this flower pot is big enough."

Chu asked Jing: "I didn't let you, be careful to squeeze it tightly, otherwise you will be exposed when you enter the water."

Xiao Tianyun: "Oh."

The old doctor took a pair of clean chopsticks, knocked Xiao Tianyun once, and reprimanded: "Be serious, I'll give you the boiled ones."

Xiao Tianyun looked at the dumplings that Master Qizi had made and put on the chopping board by candlelight, he was not convinced, "Master, your dumplings have already opened."

"It's fine if you squeeze it tightly." The old doctor focused on dealing with the skin that was soaked in water/wet and couldn't be pinched tightly, and said, "Anyway, the one that's opened is yours."

"No!"

"It doesn't matter, it's yours. I'm the biggest here, and I have the final say."

Chu Wenjing was still quiet, listening to the two men arguing.

I don't know when, the moon climbed up, and the yard gradually brightened up. The dumplings were cooked, and Xiao Tianyun nervously checked them one by one. He had to discuss it with Master Qizi, and it was only fair for each person to have one.

It had already been discussed, but Master Qizi agreed with a straight face, and Chu Wenjing said, "Go and feed the rabbits before eating. They must have missed you after walking for more than ten days."

Xiao Tianyun went, and when he came back, one open-skin dumpling in the bowl turned into two, and vinegar and chili were poured.Looking up at Master Qizi, Master Qizi had a disgusted expression of "it's yours if it goes into your bowl, I won't eat it".

Xiao Tianyun looked at Chu Wenjing aggrievedly, Chu Wenjing smiled and handed over the bowl, Xiao Tianyun held one for him.

One per person, even if the skin is opened, it is still delicious.

The old doctor rubbed his hands together and said in a low voice, "Qing Jing, you see the moonlight is very bright today, can I have a drink?"

Chu Wenjing took a dumpling for Xiao Tianyun, "You can tell from the shape that I made this dumpling, try it."

Xiao Tianyun said happily: "Okay. Look, I must have made this. You eat."

The old doctor couldn't drink the wine, so Chu Wenjing scooped him a bowl of noodle soup.

The thin silver-white thread floated down from the air, circled the stone table twice, and finally disappeared into the flowerpot.The fine snowflakes slowly fall from the sky, they are too small to feel the coolness when they fall on people's faces, and they don't delay eating at all.

Xiao Tianyun picked up a bowl of noodle soup, biting a dumpling in his mouth, with one cheek puffed up, he said in an indistinct voice: "Happy New Year~"

The old doctor pulled his face and let out a "hum" because he couldn't drink.

Chu Wenjing cooperatively picked up the bowl and touched Xiao Tianyun's bowl, and said, "Happy New Year~"

After the small year is the new year, the new year.
