Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

"Radish, stew?" The child repeated curiously.

"Carrot stew." Xu Jiu said word by word, "Say it again and again, radish stew—"

"Carrots... stewed meat." The child opened his mouth, waiting for a long time, but the words he said were still two words.

Xu Jiu had no choice but to quickly cut up the radish and put it on the chopping board: "Baby, let's see if the person next door is awake."

Fatty followed behind him obediently.

The young man's body temperature has returned to normal, and Xu Jiu has treated all the wounds, for which he used up all the medicinal powder he made.Lifting off the blanket, I found that the large abdominal wound no longer oozes blood, the knife cut to the waist, and almost hurt the kidney.The young man kept humming unconsciously, probably because the wound was in severe pain, and cold sweat was profusely profuse.He was already very young. After wiping off the blood on his face and removing the stern look on his face, he looked even younger. He might only be thirteen or fourteen years old, a child whose skeleton has not yet been finalized.

His groan/groan made the two people in the room a little inexplicably heavy, and Fatty hugged the bear and buried his head in his neck.

"My chubby family must not go out to fight when they grow up." Xu Jiu felt that education should start from the baby, "Look at this brother, he was hacked like this."

Chubby nodded.

The man's humming became louder and louder, and his breath became more and more full. It seemed that he could not die for the time being.Xu Jiu carried Pangpang back to the kitchen: "Let's go to the kitchen to make soup."

The stewed meat in the pot was steaming, and the ginger and seasonings put in made the soup rich in aroma. When the stew was almost done, Xu Jiu also added the radish, covered the lid and continued to simmer.

In the stove was his last batch of big bird droppings. Ever since Li Che Beast led Xu Jiu to jump off the cliff once, the adventure-loving bird has fallen in love with that feeling ever since, and takes Xu Jiu to jump off the cliff every three days. , more punctual than changing eggs.

Of course, the price of getting these dung balls is not small. Xu Jiu's hands were sore from making stone powder jelly for it, and Pang Pang even vomited after eating it. Every time he saw Xu Jiu making that thing, he stopped looking at it .

According to him, it has been four days since he came back from the manor. The last time he spent the only copper coin that his mother gave him at the fair, he bought some odds and ends of food, most of which were sliced ​​milk cheese, which he made for Pangpang. Snacks to eat.He doesn't need money to live in the castle, the only thing he needs to take care of is a child, and many things for the child need money to buy.

I heard it will be winter in three months.

It also snows in the wilderness in winter, and the wind and snow are extremely strong. At that time, the entire continent will be covered with ice shells, and houses may be buried.People huddled in their houses, and in the month before the winter, they would try their best to store food and leather to deal with the gloomy and cold winter months.

Xu Jiu looked around the house, he used all the winter skins that his mother gave him, and he didn't have any fuel reserves. Looking at the winter like this, he would freeze to death.Money is needed to buy those things, and where does the money come from?

At this moment, his heart is filled with the melancholy of being a poor man.

After the last dung ball burned, the room was filled with choking smoke, the lid of the pot was lifted and fell by the steam, and the stone pot was knocked.Xu Jiu lifted the lid of the pot, and there was a smell of meat and radish, as if he had returned to his previous life——Mother called him Xiao Jiu with the soup she made by herself.

Xu Jiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes to see a small man leaning in front of the pot.

Yes, everything changed, he came to a strange place, without everything familiar, and his parents were not his own.He replaced Jiu, replaced his parents, relatives and friends, and still acted as if nothing had happened.At the beginning, he was almost afraid of revealing his secrets in a terrified mood. He didn't dare to do anything, and he didn't dare to ask if he didn't understand. It wasn't until he came to this barren cliff that he became his own Xu Jiu instead of Jiu.

Xu Jiu should thank God, although many things do not end with his wishes, nor do they start with his wishes.Everyone he met, everyone who appeared in front of him, appeared, left, and disappeared forever, and finally he was left alone.He got a new life, so why wasn't he abandoned by all the past?

Fortunately, there is a dependent child who will accompany me.

Xu Jiu looked at the child, and the child stared at the broth in the pot with wide eyes, blinking hard as the water was steaming.

Xu Jiu sniffed, hugged the child away, then picked up his small bowl and filled him with a piece of radish.The child lay obediently on the edge of the table, slowly digging with his stone spoon.

Pangpang was still unsteady with the spoon, so he dug out a piece of mashed radish and turned to look at Xu Jiu.

Xu Jiu was chewing the rat meat, gasping for breath from the heat, sticking out his tongue and nodding at the child.

The child puts the spoon into the mouth.

Xu Jiu looked at him nervously, it was interesting for Pang Pang to eat, his mouth was wide open, and he swallowed the whole spoon even though there was a little bit of food.Xu Jiu watched him take the spoon out of his mouth with great difficulty, and continued to dig.

The soup is filled with the fresh fragrance of ginger, and the fishy rat meat is mixed with radish. It is fat but not greasy, and the taste is very layered.Adding the stone powder seasoning added by Xu Jiu, a pot of soup is full of color, fragrance and taste, which makes people's index fingers move.Of course, this is all Xu Jiu's boasting. After arriving in this world, he has not eaten a few meals that can be called "rice". In the beginning, he even ate stinky raw meat. The first time I smashed the pieces of meat and swallowed them directly.

There is a foodie in every human being, and Xu Jiu is no exception. Even though he was a kitchen killer in his previous life, this cannot stop his determination to improve his life.

Pangpang quickly finished eating a piece, and came to Xu Jiu with his small stone bowl.

Xu Jiu pinched his bulging cheeks and pinched a piece of flesh for him.Seeing that it wasn't what he wanted, the child immediately pouted and looked up at Xu Jiu.

"Don't be picky eaters." Xu Jiu helped him remove the bones and put the bowl back into his hands.

Pangpang is a rare vegetarian in this meat-eating continent. Xu Jiu used Liche beast eggs to feed him at first, and then tried to cook meat when he had fuel. Of course, the taste was not flattering at first, and the child didn't even drink soup.After making a lot of dark dishes, Xu Jiu figured out the ratio of the ingredients. The cooked food gradually became edible, and the child only drank soup, and it took a long time to coax him to eat a piece of meat. The expression on his face was like taking medicine.

Xu Jiu coaxes him to eat more every time: "If you don't eat meat, you won't grow up."

The child protested in vain, looked down for a while, and swallowed the meat into his mouth like a sinking boat.

Xu Jiu scooped up a spoonful of soup for him, squatted down and looked at him level, watching the child slowly finish eating.

"Is it delicious?"

The child didn't answer, just hooked his head and scooped up the soup with his small spoon.

The pots and pans here were turned over in the house, and the people in the castle came and went, leaving behind some things, but most of them were bulky and worthless things.He brought the child's bowl from home and planned to use it himself. After picking up the child, the bowl changed hands immediately. Xu Jiu used a clean bowl for the child and sharpened a small spoon for him. After eating, put the pot directly to the bottom.

Seeing that the child was drinking seriously, Xu Jiu picked up some radishes and a large piece of meat for him: "I have to finish this, I'll go to the next door to see that brother."

The child lifted his head out of the bowl, looked at Xu Jiu and nodded.Xu Jiu stood up, took out half a pot of soup and brought it to the next door.

The wounded patient was still sleeping, and Xu Jiu checked his wound, some of which had scabbed over, allowing him to further experience the recovery ability of humans and beasts in the wasteland.Fumbling here and there to make sure the man was still awake, Xu Jiu helped him up, propped his head up, and squeezed his chin.The other party's jaw is very loose, and saliva drips down when he pinches it.He wiped the saliva on the man in disgust, picked up the soup basin, took out the sleeping medicine powder he had prepared and stirred it in, and immediately closed the man's jaw every time he fed it to ensure that the soup would not flow out.After waiting patiently for a long time, he fed the soup to the man.

"Go to sleep again, we should say goodbye tomorrow." Serving patients is really not an easy job, and Xu Jiu is also very tired. The lack of sleep last night made him feel even worse, and he has double images when he sees things.

He carried the basin and walked out yawning, closing the door gently.

After a long time, the person on the bed opened his eyes, the eyes were still a little dull, and the eyeballs seemed to be rusted without moving.Then he became conscious, his head slowly turned around, and finally fixed on the ceiling, and slowly closed his eyes.
