curling smoke

For a whole afternoon, Gu Dong stretched his neck and waited for his brother's return depressedly.When he saw Gu Qiu and Lin Dashan walking into the house hand in hand, he originally wanted to pretend to be cold and express his strong protest against their abandonment of him this afternoon, but when he saw the big snake in Lin Dashan's hand , all the pretense he expected fell through.

"Is this a big snake? Brother, how did you catch the big snake? It's too powerful!" Surprisingly, Gu Dong was excited when he saw the snake without any fear.

Gu Qiu felt very helpless about his brother's strange reaction, but Gu Qiu also knew that he would be a little unhappy to let his brother stay at home alone in the afternoon, and it would be nice if this snake could make his brother happy for a while.

The fresh mushrooms picked up from the mountain this time are full of a basket, and there is no way they can eat them all. Gu Qiu left some white mushrooms to eat fresh, and the rest of the mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms were dried and baked to make dried mushrooms. Save the dried shiitake mushrooms for later.As for the snake, it became a delicacy on the family table.

Gu Qiu has a natural fear of snakes, even the dead snakes Gu Qiu dare not touch.Lin Dashan peeled off the snake's skin, dissected it, washed it, and cut the snake into sections.Half of Lin Dashan asked Gu Qiu to send it to Lin Dashan's house. The snake meat is actually very nourishing, especially for pregnant women.Jiang Tao had planned to get a snake to supplement Jin Yun's body before, but Gu Qiu just sent it over.

"It's really good. Before, I thought I'd buy a snake to nourish Jin Yun's body. I heard that snake meat is warm and nourishing, which is very good for pregnant women." Jiang Tao took the snake meat and said gratefully.

"Hehe, we are the child's future godfather, so what's the point of sending some snake meat?"

Lin Dashan made snake soup from the snake meat that he kept at home, and Gu Qiu didn't dare to eat it. In the end, he ate a small bowl after Lin Dashan talked about it. The taste was indeed delicious, but Gu Qiu was still a little bit hesitant. Yes, eat a small bowl and stop eating.Gu Dong is a foodie, but he is not afraid at all, he eats until his stomach is round, and he still sighs that he can't get enough of it.

After dinner, the sky had completely darkened. Lin Dashan originally planned to go to see old doctor He, who was the only doctor in the village who had treated Gu Dong, Gu Qiu and the others.There are not many medicines collected this time. Lin Dashan intends to dry Houttuynia cordata and honeysuckle for his own use. That dendrobium is worth some money. Lin Dashan intends to take it to Old Doctor He and ask him to help sell it.

In fact, this is the case in Jiangjia Village. If someone collects herbs on the mountain, they will ask Old Doctor He to help them sell them.

Lin Dashan thought that he would go to dig bamboo shoots tomorrow, so he wanted to deliver the things today, and he also brought the snake gall that he had packed up by the way.

"Dashan, it's getting dark now, and it's inconvenient to go out, and maybe the old man has already fallen asleep." Gu Qiu pulled Lin Dashan who was about to go out, "Xiaodong and I will help you deliver the medicine tomorrow. The doctor saved Xiaodong and me, I haven't thanked him personally yet, I'll be there tomorrow just in time."

Lin Dashan agreed with Gu Qiu's statement.

Early the next morning, Lin Dashan picked up a bamboo basket and went to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. Gu Qiu found a basket and put the dendrobium and snake gall wrapped in leaves in it, and then touched it from the chicken coop. Put a few fresh eggs in it, and took Gu Dong to Mr. He's house.The old doctor lived in a remote place, Gu Qiu walked for a while before he arrived.

When Gu Qiu saw the old man, he was drying herbs at the door. Although he was old, the old man's body was still strong, and he moved very quickly. When he saw someone visiting, he thought he was coming to see a doctor.

"Where is your body uncomfortable?" The old man stood up and asked while supporting his waist.

Gu Qiu explained with a smile: "Doctor He, we are not here to see a doctor."

"Well, you look pretty good, and there's nothing wrong with you. Then why are you looking for the old man? Oh, you look familiar, who's brother?" Dr. He led them to the house to go.

"Doctor He, my name is Gu Qiu, from Lin Dashan's family, this is my younger brother Gu Dong. When we first came to Jiangjia Village, Doctor He saved our lives."

"Oh, that boy Lin Dashan really found a treasure, he found such a good guy." Dr. He said with a smile.

Gu Qiu put the basket in his hand on the table in the room, "Dr. He, these eggs are our little kindness. Doctor He saved me and my brother. I haven't thanked you personally yet. This little thing Not respectful."

Dr. He glanced at the basket in Gu Qiu's hand, and was about to refuse, but saw the Dendrobium plant in the basket.He walked over, picked up the dendrobium plant carefully, touched it, looked at it, and muttered: "This is a good thing, I haven't seen it in such a good condition for many years."

"Where did you find this thing?" Dr. He asked curiously.

"Yesterday, Dashan and I saw it in the back mountain. Dashan said it was a dendrobium, which is quite expensive. Another thing I came here today is to ask you to help sell it."

After listening to Gu Qiu's words, Dr. He nodded, and couldn't help sighing: What kind of shit luck did Lin Dashan have, all good things happened to him.

"Then what's that wrapped in leaves?" Dr. He gently placed Dendrobium on the table, and asked, pointing to the snake gall wrapped in leaves in the basket.

"This is snake gall, it can cure diseases." Hearing the old doctor's question, Gu Dong rushed to answer.

It was only then that Dr. He noticed that the child that Gu Qiu was carrying had a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he had a bit of aura.

"Little boy, how do you know that snake gall can cure diseases?" Seeing such a cute child, Dr. He couldn't help thinking of his little grandson who had been parted from him for many years, and started to tease him.

"That's what my brother-in-law said." The child raised his head and looked extremely proud.

"Then do you know what diseases snake gallbladder can cure?"

This question stumped Gu Dong and made him a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he is not a doctor, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't know.

"I'm not a doctor, of course I don't know. You are a doctor, so you should know." Gu Dong said wittily.

"Hahaha..." Dr. He Gu Qiu was amused by these words.

"Of course I know. Snake gallbladder is cool in nature, bitter and slightly sweet; it has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, cooling and improving eyesight, detoxifying and removing prickly heat; it is used for diseases such as lung heat cough, stomach heat pain, liver heat red eyes, skin heat poisoning, etc. The treatment is very effective. Snake gallbladder can be said to be a big treasure." Doctor He explained while picking up the snake gallbladder brought by Gu Qiu for examination.

"Well, this snake's gallbladder is relatively large, full and full. The surface of the gallbladder is smooth, and the bile is light green. Not bad." Dr. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Doctor He, this is the snake we accidentally caught on the mountain yesterday. Dashan said that snake gall can cure diseases, but we don't know much about it, so I thought about it and gave it to you." Gu Qiu said with a smile.

Dr. He originally thought that Gu Qiu entrusted him to buy the snake gall, but he didn't expect that he wanted to give it to him for curing diseases and saving lives. He had a better impression of Lin Dashan's family in his heart, but he didn't intend to take the snake gall.

"I already have several snake galls here, and they are all used to make medicinal wine. I don't think I don't want this snake gall anymore. I bought them in the city for you. It's worth a lot of money. It just so happens that I have accumulated a lot these days. The medicinal materials are going to be sold in the city tomorrow."

Seeing that Dr. He's expression didn't seem to be polite, Gu Qiu agreed because he was really thinking of them.

Originally, Gu Qiu didn't want to disturb the old man too much, but he didn't expect Dr. He to persuade them to stay.

"If you come here, please stay a little longer. I usually don't have anyone here except those who see a doctor. My child, grandpa will bring you sweets, so please stay here a little longer." Dr. He stroked Gu Dong's face kindly. Then he brought a few pine nuts from the house to Gu Dong.

Gu Qiu was at Dr. He's house to help him turn over the herbs and chat about the household chores. I learned that Mr. He lives alone. He has two elder brothers who are already married. The children are very filial but they are far away from each other and cannot come here often. Look at him, he still has a son who married his older brother and gave birth to a grandson. However, he has been doing business in the south for the past two years, so the old man lives alone. Today, when Gu Qiu and Gu Dong came to visit, he felt that they hit it off, so he decided to keep them here. Talk, lively and lively.

Gu Dong squatted down with his elder brother to help look through the herbs when he was free, and curiously asked about this herb. Fortunately, Mr. He was very patient and answered him one by one. Gu Qiu learned about the herbs while listening. Arrived a lot.

Seeing Gu Dong and Dr. He's harmonious question and answer, Gu Qiu suddenly had an idea: Can Gu Dong learn medical skills from Dr. He as his teacher.

He knew that such a request was presumptuous, so he didn't say it rashly, because doctors are very respected, and medical skills are generally passed down from family to family, and learning medical skills is not so easy, although Dr. He seems to like Gu Dong very much, but It's hard to say whether Dr. He can agree.And he also had to ask Gu Dong for his opinion, if Gu Dong didn't like it, it was all right.

Gu Qiu kept this thought in his heart with excitement.
