This land was contracted by me [farming]

Chapter 55 Sola's Visit

After Zhao Keran packed up, he was ready to go to the study to find Li Rende.

As soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by Huo Yuan.

"Eat." Huo Yuan put the food brought from the kitchen on the table and set up the chopsticks.

Zhao Keran's mind will be full of his hooliganism in the video, he glanced at Huo Yuan furtively, and although he was anxious to see Li Rende, he sat down and had breakfast obediently.

Zhao Keran has one good thing about eating, that is, he is not picky about food.

But there is also a bad thing, eating too fast.

A mouthful of hot porridge was blew on casually twice before sending it to his mouth, and he spit it out straight away when it was so hot.

Huo Yuan immediately stepped forward and pinched Zhao Keran's chin with his hands, forcing him to open his mouth for inspection.

After looking around carefully, he felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing wrong, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

Zhao Keran moved his chin and agreed in a low voice.

As long as Zhao Keran ate, Huo Yuan stared at him, and as long as he was quick, he tapped his fingertips on the table to remind him.

Zhao Keran, who was eating breakfast, suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.

When he was a child in the previous life, his father had not passed away, and he would use this method to correct his problem of eating too fast.

Later, when his father left, no one cared about him anymore, and because of the reasons of the last days, he ate faster than before.

Unexpectedly, after a time and space, he felt the "father's love" again today.

Huo Yuan, who "likes to be a father", didn't know what Zhao Keran was thinking, and still stared at him to eat well.

"Brother Yuan, I'm done." Zhao Keran called Huo Yuan and showed him the bowl.

Seeing that Huo Yuan really felt like eating, he took out his handkerchief.Just as Zhao Keran was about to take it, Huo Yuan moved to the side and avoided his hand.

The meaning is obvious, you have to wipe his mouth yourself.

When Zhao Keran realized that Huo Yuan had this idea, he froze for a moment, and didn't have time to react.

When Huo Yuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, Zhao Keran seemed to have finally regained consciousness.But his mind was full of images of him biting Huo Yuan's fingertips when he was drunk during the Chinese New Year.

"Brother Yuan, it's getting late, Dr. Li should be in a hurry." Zhao Keran stood up from the stool in a panic, and ran towards the study in a hurry.

It seemed that he was really worried about Li Rende waiting for him.

Huo Yuan looked at Zhao Keran's flustered back, feeling powerless like a tide.

He put away the handkerchief, drew a line in his heart, warned himself not to cross the line, and not to scare anyone again.

...

Li Rende didn't come alone this time, and with him were three doctors from various disciplines who had been fooled by him.

Zhao Keran apologized repeatedly when he entered the door, making people wait for him for a long time.

Li Rende didn't think much of it, the other three lamented Zhao Keran's youth, but they didn't take it to heart.

Li Rende got up and introduced the three people around him to Zhao Keran, "Master Zhao, this is Fan Si, Dr. Fan's chief physician."

Fan Si got up and saluted Zhao Keran, and Zhao Keran returned the salute, thinking that he was a doctor of internal medicine like Li Rende.

"This is Gu Fuhai, Doctor Gu, an acupuncture doctor."

Gu Fuhai also got up to salute, Zhao Keran nodded in satisfaction, yes, the acupuncture doctor is here.

"The last one is Cao Xiuqi, doctor Cao. He has a unique opinion compared to us on ear and eye problems."

Cao Xiuqi is different from the other two, he looks very young, he should be around 23.

Zhao Keran understood it, thinking that Cao Xiuqi was a man of outstanding talent and learning, and he could be remembered by Li Rende at a young age, and he even invited him here.

Now there are ENT specialists too.

Now only pediatrics, gynecology and surgery are missing.

Several people sat down, and Zhao Keran, a layman, talked with the four doctors for a long time relying on the medical knowledge in the system.

Several people were deeply impressed by Zhao Keran's unique insights on medical skills, and Zhao Keran could see that several people admired him.He felt his face was a little hot, but he could only bite the bullet and continue talking.

"Master Zhao's views on medical skills are really unheard of by us, but what he said has evidence to follow after careful consideration." Fan Si said, holding his beard.

Gu Fuhai also nodded in agreement, "It is indeed as the adults said, when the patients are given needles, there will be what the adults said. Sometimes even the small needle holes will show signs of pus." He said in a deep voice: "Think about it, These are what grown-ups call germs, invisible to the naked eye, but with us."

Hey, he is such a medical novice standing on the shoulders of giants to open a plug-in, how can He De be appreciated by these bigwigs with real talents.

"If Brother Qi came today, there must be an answer to the question that has plagued me for many years." Li Rende said with a sigh.

Zhao Keran asked: "Brother Qi?"

Li Rende replied: "Qi Siming, Doctor Qi. He has done a lot of research on skin sores, and even invented suture technique. It's a pity, although he wrote to Brother Qi, he hasn't replied yet, and I don't know if he has read it."

Zhao Keran's heart skipped a beat, "A sore doctor?"

"Yes."

After receiving Li Rende's reply, Zhao Keran asked, "Doctor Li, where does this Doctor Qi live?"

Li Rende could see that Zhao Keran wanted to invite someone over, but this might not be realistic.

"Brother Qi likes to travel around the world, saving lives and healing the wounded. He only takes a medicine boy with him and has no fixed place to live. We can only send letters to him to his house, and wait for him to check when he returns home."

It was said that although Zhao Keran felt disappointed, he also knew that he couldn't force anything.

"I don't know if you know any pediatric doctors and take-down doctors?"

Li Rende, Fan Si and Gu Fuhai turned their heads to look at Cao Xiuqi after hearing the words.

Cao Xiuqi stood up, respectfully and politely, and returned to Zhao Keran in a gentle voice, "My sister, Yu Xiaoer, and her knowledge of medicine under her care make me extremely admired."

Li Rende and the others also nodded in agreement. Cao Xiuyu's name had been heard of in their medical circles, and this medical skill was indeed amazing.

Gu Fuhai said: "This old man lives with the Cao family siblings. When Cao Xiuyu was still young, his medical skills were well-known in Tongxi Mansion. If the Tongxi family has a child, it must be Cao Xiuyu. It's a pity. Ah, after I got married a few years ago, I haven't heard from her anymore."

At this point, Gu Fuhai casually asked Cao Xiuqi, "How is your sister?"

Cao Xiuqi pursed his lips, held back for a long time, and then said: "Actually, I don't know. The elders in the family have never mentioned my sister to me since my sister got married. Sometimes I will be reprimanded if I ask. After a long time, I will not Dare to inquire openly again. However, there has been no news about the secret investigation, and I don’t know why my sister no longer has contact with the family.”

Cao Xiuqi showed worry on his face, and then smiled and said: "But my sister is married to a medical family in Jing'an Prefecture, so life will not be bad."

There are few pediatric doctors, and fewer doctors who specialize in treating women's diseases.

Zhao Keran couldn't let go of this opportunity, "Doctor Cao, can you write a letter to your sister and ask her if she would like to study and teach medical skills?" He paused, and then said: "If it is inconvenient for her, she doesn't have to come. Jingyang, you can do it in Jing’an.”

After thinking about it, Cao Xiuqi nodded, "I didn't hear back from my letter to my sister before, and I don't know if I can get news from my sister this time."

Zhao Keran always felt that something was wrong when he heard the words, but since he was in Jing'an Mansion, it was easy to handle.When the time comes, he will ask Zhou Jingren to send someone to help deliver a letter. For the prefect's sake, he can tell whether it is successful or not.

At the end of the chat, both sides had a deeper understanding of each other.Zhao Keran finally confirmed it, "After we come to Jingyang, what we need to do is to develop a medical school. The medical school is far different from the traditional medical field. I hope you will think twice before proceeding."

The four of them looked at each other and smiled. In fact, the three of them, including Li Rende, who had invited someone, showed their determination to develop Jingyang and even the entire Dayuan Medicine from the moment they stepped into the county office.

The road ahead is unknown and bumpy, and they go against the traditions of thousands of years and run in the opposite direction.

Zhao Keran admired the determination of these four, although as a modern person, he can understand the difficulties involved.But he couldn't really appreciate how hot and determined the four of them came.

Since they have taken this step, they cannot and will not allow themselves to regret it.

And now they don't know that four of the top ten famous doctors in the future will be among them.

After taking out various medical books from the system, Zhao Keran solemnly handed them over to the four of them, "Everyone, Jingyang's future medical journey will be thanks to you."

After receiving the medical book, the four of them felt an invisible burden on their shoulders, which was heavy.

At the same time, they are also full of expectations for the unknown future.

"It will live up to the expectations of adults."

After seeing off the four people, Du Youwei went into the study and told Zhao Keran that someone outside said they were from West Huai.I want to meet Zhao Keran.

Zhao Keran thought for a while, and it should be Sola mentioned in Fang Zhongyuan's previous letter.

"After the inspection is correct, bring him to the study."

After a while, a tall man with deep eye sockets and a straight nose appeared in Zhao Keran's study.

After Sola saluted, Zhao Keran told him to sit down quickly.

This person is too tall, and he has to look up at the other person, which is very difficult for his neck.

"Why did the envoy Sola come to find me this time?"

In order to be able to communicate well with Zhao Keran, Sola has practiced Dayuan language hard these days. Apart from having some accents, she can understand what he is saying.

Unlike the beginning, half by listening and half by guessing.

When Sola saw Zhao Ke, he was surprised that the amazing cement was thought up by a young man.

But after thinking about it, their king is also about the same age as the magistrate of Dayuan County in front of him. In order to let the people of Huaixi live a good life, he tried his best to let him bring people to Dayuan for business. Do what you dare not do.

"The county magistrate is as young and promising as our king."

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Zhao Keran was so embarrassed by Sola's words that he was too hard on him.

"Master Zhao, I saw the cement made by Master in Qingyu Pass, and I admired it very much. This time I came to see Master, I want to ask if you would like to sell the cement recipe to Huaixi." So La The question was very sincere, and the conditions he gave were also very sincere, "We are willing to exchange weapons."

Zhao Keran originally thought that Sola would exchange gold, silver and jewels for prescriptions, but he really didn't think about weapons.

"What weapon?" Zhao Keran asked.

Suo La said: "Master Du from the county government holds it. He is outside the room. Let him come in so Master Zhao can see it."

If you want to enter the county government, you must remove your weapons.

But Sorafei said that he would keep the knife and bring it in, and show it to Zhao Keran for business.

Of course Du Youwei refused, so the two made a compromise. They also brought weapons, but let Du Youwei hold them and wait outside the study.

When he was called in, Du Youwei was still drooling while touching the Huaixi knife.I sighed in my heart that this knife is so good, the body of the knife reflects light in the sun, dazzling.

If only he could have one.

"Master County Magistrate, this is the Huaixi knife." Du Youwei carefully placed the knife on the desk, his eyes stuck to the knife, and he couldn't get it off.

After seeing the knife, Zhao Keran was also slightly surprised.

Just looking at the knife, he knew that it was no longer made of pure iron, but had the appearance of steel.

"Who wants this knife to be exchanged for cement recipes?" Zhao Keran had to ask clearly, so as not to let someone write a bad promise.

Sola replied: "Before coming to Dayuan, our king's weapons were also included in this trade. But the premise is that the things exchanged are worth the money. Although the previous sweet potatoes and other crops were good, they were not enough. We take out our weapons in exchange.

But after seeing the cement that day, I knew that the weapon could be replaced.I also hope Master Zhao can think about it carefully. "

Zhao Keran's fingertips brushed lightly over the knife. Compared with the iron knives used today, this steel knife is not easy to rust or break.

The quality has been improved by more than one or two points.

He also has the steelmaking method, but he has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to show it.

Now following Huaixi Dao, he can send it to Xu Jun.

The follow-up thing is to see what Xu Jun does, and it has nothing to do with him.

And Huai Xixi was willing to send weapons for free, so he couldn't refuse. Da Yuan is now in troubled times, so it is impossible to think that there are too many weapons.

After the two agreed on the specific quantity, they set a date for the exchange, and everyone was happy.

So La thought about taking a stroll around Jingyang when he had no business to do.

Zhao Keran was also willing to accompany him. He also thought that the other party had better take a closer look, and if he liked something, he would exchange money with him.

After all, the Dayuan treasury is really empty.

He is so poor that his monthly salary can hardly be paid. If he had not had such side jobs and the blessing of Xu Wenwu's Zhenbao Pavilion in Fengyang, he would have been drinking northwest wind in the Gobi Desert.

The first place Sola went to was Huimin Supermarket, which was the first time he had heard of the supermarket.

I couldn't help being curious, so I went in and took a look.

After entering, Sora's eyes were dazzled by the dazzling array of items.

The salt is not only beautiful in color, but also extremely delicate.

"Your Dayuan salt is beautiful and cheap. There are many people in Huaixi who can't afford salt and stone, and can only eat earth salt." Sola looked at the baskets of fine salt and coarse salt. Mao Guang asked, "Does Mr. Zhao know what soil salt is? It is soil with high salt content. There are very few places where we can produce salt, and no one can buy it even if they have money."

Zhao Keran pulled people away calmly, away from the salt sales area.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Sola would jump into the salt pile in agitation.

"Our salt stone costs one hundred coins a catty, which is equivalent to ten taels of silver in Dayuan. It's so expensive, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it." Even after leaving the salt selling area, Sola was still thinking about it. She sighed, "If only Huaixi had a lot of salt."

"Huh? Is this place selling salt too?" Sola came to the place where the sugar was sold, and he pointed to the brown sugar and asked, "Why is this salt this color? It's almost like broken earth salt. You also eat earth salt Well?"

Zhao Keran looked at the brown sugar, and couldn't bear to tell Sola that it was sugar, they hadn't eaten earth salt for a long time...

"My lord, you can try it." Zhao Keran asked Shumo to bring a cup, scooped some brown sugar into it with a spoon, and poured hot water for brewing.

So La couldn't believe it, why do Dayuan people like to drink soil salt water?

This thing drank a mouthful of mud, what is there to drink?But because of the trade between the two countries, the relationship has to be well established.The county magistrate of Dayuan can't be unhappy because of him. In order to build a good relationship, it's nothing for Sola to drink some earthy salt water!

He took the brown sugar water and leaned closer to smell it.

It's strange, why this soil salt has no earthy smell, but it smells sweet like honey water.

Sora was afraid of being stunned, closed his eyes tightly, and narrowed his mouth a little.

!

Sweet!

Sora smacked his lips to make sure he tasted it right.He symbolically blew on the hot air, but he didn't care about the heat, and drank loudly.

Zhao Keran couldn't help laughing: "Envoy Sola, drink slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Sola felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

He swallowed the brown sugar water in his mouth, looked at Zhao Keran anxiously, and asked him, "Master Zhao, what is this?"

Zhao Keran said, "This is brown sugar."

He pointed to the side of the brown sugar and said: "This is white sugar, and the one on the side that looks like salt rock is called rock sugar."

Sola didn't know what sugar was, but after drinking the brown sugar water, he knew it was sweet, "Your Da Yuan's sugar is really delicious, as sweet as honey!"

"If you come earlier, there will be malt candy in the store in early spring. It's sugar made from malt and glutinous rice, and it's also delicious."

After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Sola couldn't imagine, "We also have wheat and glutinous rice. But no one made sugar with them, is it as sweet as this brown sugar?"

Zhao Keran nodded, "Well, it's delicious. If Envoy Sola wants to try it, although I can't make it now, I can tell you how to make maltose. It's the same when you go back to Huaixi."

Hearing this, Sola's already big eyes opened even wider, her tall body jumped up and down, and said something in Huaishi language excitedly.

Although Zhao Keran couldn't understand what the other party said, the extremely happy look on Sola's face explained everything.

When he got to the vegetable section, Sola couldn't believe what he saw.

"Master Zhao, are these all edible vegetables?" He held a tomato in his hand, "They have many colors, so beautiful!"

Zhao Keran smiled and said, "This is called a tomato, it's delicious, try it."

Sola heard the words, and took a bite directly.

The tomato juice is sour and sweet, bursting in the mouth.

Sola finished a glistening red tomato in one go, wiped his mouth, and smiled innocently.

"Master Zhao, can I exchange my money for your salt, sugar and these vegetables?"

Zhao Keran raised his eyebrows, of course it's okay!

"As for the specific matter, we will discuss it after returning to the county government." Zhao Keran led the way, "Master Sola, it's time, let's go eat."

There was a lot of people in Zuixianlou, the waiter serving food in the hotel was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, and there was the sound of urging food from time to time.

"Xiaoer! Why hasn't my braised pork come here yet!"

"And my sweet and sour pork ribs!"

...

The pigs from the county government farm just went on the market and didn't cause much trouble, it's just that the weight of a pig varies from foot to foot, and pigs are heavier.

In order to support Zhao Keran, Steward Xu bought pork from many county government farms for use in Zuixianlou.

In fact, not many people who come to Zuixianlou eat pork, they think it tastes bad.

Those with small families and small households will call some butchers to improve the food at home and eat meat.

Seeing that Butler Xu wanted a lot, Zhao Keran gave him a cooking method about pork.

Butler Xu didn't dare to ask for it, when Xu Wenwu left, he was urged not to take advantage of Zhao Keran, and if the other party wanted anything, he would double it.

Zhao Keran thought that he didn't have the energy to open another restaurant, so he suggested: "It's the same as hot pot. I will provide the method of cooking pork, and then I will be given a share of the income."

Butler Xu thought it was feasible, and the hot pot cooperation was good before, so he nodded in agreement.

Therefore, when Zuixianlou launched a series of pork dishes and held a tasting event, the pork from the county government farm immediately became popular in Jingyang.

People depend on food, who doesn't want to eat a good one.

The pork from this farm tastes good, and the price is cheaper than other mutton, chicken, goose and so on.

"Let me have braised pork, ribs, tenderloin, a small hot pot, and a little crispy pork with salt and pepper, and two glasses of iced watermelon juice." Zhao Keran looked at the menu and ordered. Now the paper has been popularized in Jingyang, and the printing factory has also used it. stand up.

Butler Xu got the first-hand information and went to place an order for a customized menu.

The menu of Zuixianlou has changed from bamboo slips to exquisite paper, with some patterns printed on it, which makes the diners feel very dignified when they look at it.

If any of the top-ranked restaurants in Jingyang didn't change to paper menus, it would be embarrassing.

Zhao Keran thought that he had ordered a small hot pot, so he asked Sola, "By the way, Envoy Sola, can you eat spicy food?"

Sola shook her head, "Not really, there are a lot of peppers in Huaixi, and they all like to eat them. But I can't eat them, my stomach hurts, it's a pity."

"Mushroom soup is served in the small hot pot." Zhao Keran put the menu back into the menu box, and said to the shop waiter: "That's all."

The shop waiter reported the name of the dish again, and Zhao Keran nodded after hearing nothing wrong.

...

Sola was dazzled by the sight of a table full of dishes.The aroma of vegetables mingled in the air, making Sora's mouth water.

The braised pork is bright red in color, fat and thin, and a bite is full of happiness.

Sola chewed the meat in his mouth and babbled for a long time, but Zhao Keran couldn't hear clearly and didn't disturb his nature.

"This mushroom hot pot is also delicious." Zhao Keran put a reed mushroom in Sola's bowl with his chopsticks, "Envoy Sola try it, this is the unique reed mushroom in Jingyang, it tastes delicious gone."

Sola nodded, picked up the piece of reed mushroom, and it was as delicious as Zhao Keran said.

"This is delicious too! What is this water made of?" Sola choked on eating too eagerly, just as the iced watermelon juice was brought up, he grabbed it and drank it.

"There is still something inside, crunchy and sweet." After swallowing the food, Sola took another sip, savoring it carefully.

Zhao Keran explained to him: "This is a kind of juice squeezed from a fruit called watermelon. It has been chilled. Drink a glass this day, and you will feel refreshed."

It was noon in Jingyang, the sun was scorching, and even the hawkers were gone outside.

So La felt that what Zhao Keran said was too true, "I think my love is not enough. In one morning, I have loved so many things here, too many to count."

Seeing Sola drinking watermelon juice and counting his fingers sadly, Zhao Keran said seductively, "Watermelon, do you want it?"

Sola regained his energy in an instant, and nodded frantically, "If there is such a glass of iced watermelon juice for me to drink in the hot summer of Huaixi, I will definitely be able to drink it every year and live forever."
