After the genius was abolished, he became my Taoist companion

57. Treatment methods

As soon as Ye Huangui heard it, he felt that his hands and feet were starting to ache, and he gasped: "How much does it hurt?"

Fu Bo said: "First cut open the skin, pull out the broken meridians, fix them with gold needles, and then use spiritual energy to stimulate the tendons... It hurts to have cramps and skin peeling."

Ye Huangui became numb when he heard it: "Is there any other way?"

Fu Bo cleared his throat: "This is already a relatively safe method. If you want to relieve the pain, you can supplement it with a spiritual plant. You should have heard the name of this spiritual plant, Xiao Ye Zi: Phoenix Foot."

Phoenix foot is not related to phoenix, it is a fern that grows in humid places.The century-old phoenix foot will grow a root system with a waxy layer. This root system is curly and has the effect of calming and forgetting troubles.

Ye Huangui had never picked phoenix feet. The hills near his house were all hills, which did not have the conditions for the growth of phoenix feet.Fortunately, phoenix foot is not a rare medicinal material, and it is easy to buy.

However, the quality of the phoenix feet needed by Tan Duzhi is relatively better, so that the use time can be longer.

Fu Bo said, "I don't charge you for acupuncture and hot compresses, but you can pay for what Phoenix has."

Ye Huangui quickly agreed: "I'll go out, I'll go out!"

Tan Duzhi said: "I don't need Phoenix feet."

Ye Huangui ignored him: "If you use it to relieve Lao Tan's pain, use it when you need it. Fu Bo, you are well-informed, help me estimate how many phoenix feet are needed, and how much money each phoenix foot needs. "

Fu Bo said: "For Xiao Tan, the phoenix foot must be at least 300 years old, so let's count it as 15 taels of silver per phoenix foot..."

Uncle Fu pinched his fingers and calculated: "Opening the wound and pulling out the meridians requires two phoenix feet at a time, eight hands and two feet. After the meridians are connected, for the first month, acupuncture and moxibustion will be done to stimulate the hands and feet every day. You also need one, so that's 38."

Ye Huangui took out a small notebook from the storage bag, and wrote on the notebook with a strip of charcoal wrapped in cloth: "Hmm."

Fu Bo said: "From the second month onwards, acupuncture can be done every other day, which is [-] roots. If everything goes well in the third month, acupuncture can be done every three or four days. Calculated in three days, that is ten roots. If it goes well, if it doesn't go well, the acupuncture time will be extended."

Uncle Fu said to Ye Huangui with concern: "You can think about it, just a Phoenix foot can empty out your family fortune."

Ye Huan didn't even raise his head: "Hey, you can earn money when you run out of money, but you can't make up for an injury. Don't worry about me, Uncle Fu."

He raised his head and said, "I calculated it. In the first three months, at least 63 phoenix feet will be needed. Calculated at 15 taels of silver for each, it will be 940 and [-] taels of silver. Uncle Fu, please help me buy it first. Today I will send you the money."

Uncle Fu frowned: "Where did you get so much money?!"

Ye Huangui knew what Lingzhi sold and what Lingzhi bought.He did save a little money and lived a normal life, so he could be very rich.But all the cash in his family adds up to more than 500 taels of silver. Where can he collect the rest of the money? !

Ye Huangui scratched his hair with a smile: "If you think about it, there are a few wild ginseng plants on the mountain. I originally wanted to keep them to grow..."

Fu Bo said seriously: "This season is not the season for wild ginseng."

Ye Huangui said again: "There are magic tools left by our ancestors at home..."

Uncle Fu said quietly: "If you dare to sell the green wood tripod, I will pack your head."

Ye Huan shrank his neck: "..."

Uncle Fu sighed: "I don't know about your family background? In this way, I still have more than 300 taels of silver with me. I will lend it to you first. I will pay you back slowly when you have money."

Ye Huangui was grateful: "Thank you Uncle Fu! I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible!"

Fu Bo said: "It's not in a hurry. We collect a large amount, so maybe the price can be lowered again, and we can wait until the price is finally determined. And I still have to practice my hand. It will take a month before I give it to Xiao Tan. Healing. I reckon that when the Phoenix Foot arrives, I will be able to practice almost, and then I will be able to connect Xiao Tan's meridians."

Ye Huangui seemed so happy: "That's great! Uncle Fu is amazing!"

Tan Duzhi sat quietly in the wheelchair with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

When it came, Jixiang ran all the way, but when it went back, it slowed down.The two sat on Jixiang's back and chatted, Ye Huangui was in charge of speaking, and Tan Duzhi was in charge of listening.

Ye Huangui said: "Fu Bo said that there are seven or eight spirit tiger meat in the three lucky bags, it should be a lot. I haven't eaten tiger meat yet, have you ever eaten old Tan?"

Tan Duzhi said: "I don't know, maybe I have eaten it, but I don't know."

Ye Huangui looked forward to it: "I didn't expect to be able to eat tiger meat in my lifetime. What does it taste like? I'm so looking forward to it. I'll clean up the meat by the stream when I get home later, and we'll save what we need. "

Tan Duzhi: "Well, good."

Seeing that Tan Duzhi was not in high spirits, Ye Huangui asked, "Old Tan, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you happy?"

Wouldn't it be nice to know that you can recover?Why is Lao Tan still depressed?

Tan Duzhi said: "I just feel that I have caused you trouble."

Ye Huangui said indifferently: "I don't think so."

Tan Duzhi's eyes were deep: "From Jiuxiao Xianmen, you have been taking care of me all the way. On the other hand, I didn't help at all, and I brought you danger again and again. Now you are going to empty out my family for me... "

Ye Huangui leaned back slightly, and Jixiang happened to walk under the shade of a tree, and the gentle spring light penetrated the leaves and sprinkled on the ground.Ye Huangui looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head through the leaves, and suddenly he wanted to talk to Tan Duzhi: "I didn't think so, and to be honest, I always felt that I was the one who wronged you." .”

Tan Duzhi's heart skipped a beat: "Wronged?"

Ye Huangui said: "Before you fell into trouble, you were the high-ranking real Tan, and I was just a commoner in the valley. A commoner like me is not even qualified to meet you. What you are facing is the sea of ​​stars, And I only have money, rice, oil and salt around me.

There was a bit of exclamation in his voice: "When I received the hydrangea, I was totally dumbfounded. I went to Nine Clouds City just to sell spirit grass for a little more money. I never thought that there would be such an adventure. The first When I first saw you, I was completely stunned, and I wondered how could there be such a good-looking person in the world?"

Tan Duzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't you care about my appearance?" At that time when he took the Huanyan Pill, didn't Ye Huangui also dislike him?

Ye Huangui said: "Hey, I really don't care. But when I talked to you for the first time, I really thought you were beautiful and kind. Seeing you look so decadent, I hope you can cheer up and do well."

He scratched his cheek: "It seems a bit shameless to say that, but I'm not that great anymore. There is another important reason for me to bring you back."

Tan Duzhi sat up straight involuntarily, and he always wanted to know why Ye Huangui was so kind to him.Apart from his own kindness, is there really no other requirement?

Ye Huangui looked up at the sky: "It's really lonely alone."

Tan Duzhi:? ? ?

Ye Huangui's voice was lonely: "I was only eight years old when Uncle Yan left. When he was around, I always hated him for nagging, but after he left, there was no one at home to talk to. Tired, sleepy When you are sick, sick, or sad, you have to bear it alone.”

"Although I can live alone, but after a long time, I still hope that someone can talk to me. You see, I have raised so many small animals, and I can usually talk to them, but that's just me, They are listening. I understand that they love me, but they are not human after all, they can't call my name, they can't talk to me."

"When I saw you, I thought, if such a good person can be brought home, even if you don't do anything, just talk to me is good. It is such a little selfishness that has supported me to the present .”

Ye Huangui said: "You don't know that if you go to the mountains by yourself for three or four days, you won't even have a mouthful of hot water when you get home. You don't know, after taking a nap, oversleeping, and opening your eyes, it's dark Feeling. Alone, empty, it sounds like freedom, but it is really lonely.”

"All I want is someone who can talk to me, it's that simple. But it's just such a wish, and it hasn't come true all these years."

"After meeting you, I feel that every day is extremely fulfilling. Even if it's just a simple three meals a day, I feel that my dedication is recognized, and my happiness and sorrow can be shared."

The camphor tree on the side of the road was drooping, and Ye Huangui reached out and grabbed a few leaves: "After bringing you back, I feel unreal every day. Such a good person actually came home with me. Then What comes after that is the feeling of sorry you. You should have a wider sky, and you shouldn't be nestled in a small mountain like me."

Ye Huangui apologized and said: "There are only trivial matters in the mountain depression, there is no sea and sky, and there is no magnificence. You are a person who has experienced storms, and staying in Pearl Bay really wronged you."

Tan Duzhi let go of the rein with his left hand, and after hearing what Ye Huangui said, he wanted to hug him tightly.In fact, he did the same. Even though he couldn't use his right hand, he still held Ye Huangui in his arms: "Xiaoye, thank you."

Ye Huangui somewhat saw the one hand appearing on his chest, he was stunned for a moment and then became happy.Did Lao Tan approve of him?

Then he remembered a terrible thing: "Old Tan, you lost the reins?"

58. Divide the spirit tiger

Facts have proved that Jixiang is a very stable mule. After dropping the rein, it stopped.And Tan Duzhi is also very powerful, he is indeed a person who can control the sword, even if Ye Huangui leans on him, he can stabilize his center of gravity.

After he got home and settled Tan Duzhi, Ye Huangui took the lucky bag and went to the creek.

The water beside the stone bridge was relatively slow and deep, so Ye Huangui built a pier under the bridge.He comes to the dock when he does the laundry or handles larger ingredients.

Old Tan picked up the fishing rod again, his wheelchair couldn't get down to the pier, Ye Huangui was afraid that he would be bored, so he prepared some earthworms for him and sent him to go fishing.

One is on the bridge and the other is under the bridge. As long as you look up or down, you can see each other clearly, and of course you can hear clearly when you speak.

Tan Duzhi had just thrown off the hook when Ye Huangui opened a lucky bag.As soon as the lucky bag was opened, a strong bloody smell rushed over. Ye Hugui shook the lucky bag onto the pier, only to see three bloody things rolling out of the lucky bag.

These are the spirit tigers that Fu Bo said died in a fight. At this time, they can no longer see what they looked like when they were alive.Their tiger skins were stripped off, and their bones were pulled out to be used as medicine. Naturally, the tiger claws and whips were gone.

The tiger's head had been chopped off, leaving only a cylindrical limp body in front of Ye Huangui.The spirit tigers in the spirit beast garden all had good food, and after the tiger skins were peeled off, their bodies were covered with a thick layer of fat.

This layer of fat can also be used as medicine, so the fat on the tiger's body was also stripped.It may be that the person who removed the fat was not professional enough, and some yellow-white fat was left on the tiger's body.Dots of fat stick to the red tiger meat, which looks like beef.

Linghu's viscera had not been removed, only a small cut was made on the swollen stomach, and part of the viscera flowed out from the small opening.

Ye Huangui was a little puzzled: "Hey? How could there be a hole?"

Tan Duzhi said: "It should be left by taking tiger gallbladder." Tiger gallbladder is a precious medicine blindly, and the Emperor Beast Sect has no reason to let it go.

Ye Huangui dragged a tiger and put it on the steps facing the water: "Oh, it's so heavy! I estimate that there may be three or four hundred catties of meat here! Old Tan, this lucky bag is really a bargain! "

Tan Duzhi smiled and said, "The lucky bag specially left for you by Uncle Fu must be the same."

Ye Huangui took out a kitchen knife to cut open the tiger's belly, and agreed: "Yes, Uncle Fu and Brother Yan are the best to me!"

After the belly was broken open, the internal organs rushed out.Ye Huangui didn't care about the dirt, he reached into the tiger's abdomen and dug out the rest of the internal organs.

Blood flowed from the pier into the stream, and after a while the water beside the pier turned pale pink.The minnows that came smelling the smell of blood jumped up and down on the water surface, causing the earthworms that Tan Duzhi had just put down to be eaten by them.

Fortunately, Tan Duzhi didn't focus on fishing. He was watching Ye Huangui deal with the tiger intently.

The tiger's body was too huge. Fortunately, the tiger bones had been removed in advance, so Ye Huangui was able to cut the tiger meat into pieces bit by bit.

The meat on the legs is tendon meat, and Ye Huangui divided the tendon meat into pieces and put them in the bamboo baskets he had prepared earlier.The meat on the belly is evenly fat and thin. Ye Huangui cut the belly into long strips to make it easier to eat next time.

The color of the back meat was red like beef, Ye Huangui couldn't find the place for the tenderloin, so he could only cut the back meat into large pieces and put them in a basket for later use.

There are a lot of tendons on the neck, so this part should be put away separately. In the future, the tendons can be braised and eaten...

If it is said that tiger meat is easy to handle, the following internal organs are not so easy to handle, especially the intestines which are the largest and most difficult to handle.

Ye Huangui picked off the heart, liver and lungs, and he put the intestines and the fat on them into the stream.He wanted to carve up the remaining tigers while he still had strength.

Zhaocai stood guard on the pier early, waiting for Ye Huangui to share a bite of his meat.Ye Huangui cut up the bits and pieces of meat that were not very attractive in color and threw them to Zhaocai.

He was a little curious: "Didn't you say that the tiger is the king of beasts? Some animals will shy away when they smell it, and they don't care at all about how to make money."

Tan Duzhi glanced at Zhaocai's body, which was bigger than a wolf, and said slowly, "Maybe... the spirit tiger of the Beast Master Sect has been kept in captivity, so it has lost its wildness."

Jinbao is much more reserved, it has no interest in tiger meat.At this moment, it was squatting beside Tan Duzhi, and the minnow that Tan Duzhi caught was cut off by it while it was still in mid-air.It was still not satisfied after eating, and continued to supervise Lao Tan's fishing.

Duck and Duck led its younger brothers to swim up and down the water surface chasing lively little fish.None of them took the smell of the spirit tiger seriously.

There are seven and a half spirit tigers in the three lucky bags, why seven and a half, because there is another one that has been torn to pieces.Ye Huangui was divided from noon to evening, and his hands were trembling at the end.

Fortunately, the result was good. He said before that there was no meat in the house, but now it seems that the meat can last him and Lao Tan until this winter.

When the sky was getting dark, Ye Huangui finally put away the tiger meat.He's up for the dirtiest bowel cleanse yet.

Ye Huangui had a bitter face: "A lot of intestines..."

Tan Duzhi looked at it, but it wasn't true, there were black and blue intestines piled up under the pier, and the intestines were still entangled with yellow and white grease.He said softly: "Don't deal with it today, just take a rest."

Ye Huangui waved his hand: "No, internal organs are the most perishable things. I stuffed the storage bags at home that can keep fresh with meat. I'll let the dirty things out of the intestines first, and I'll clean them tomorrow."

Tan Duzhi's face was a little distorted: "You mean... you want these intestines?"

Ye Huangui nodded: "Yes! The intestines are delicious, hot fat intestines, stewed tofu with intestines and intestines, you will never forget it after one bite. And this is the intestines of a tiger, the taste will definitely be delicious!"

Tan Duzhi couldn't accept it: "Can intestines really be eaten?"

Ye Huangui smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Haven't you already eaten last time?"

Tan Duzhi was stunned: "When?"

Ye Huangui reminded: "Didn't the rooster and hen's intestines be caught for you last time when you stewed chicken soup and made roasted chicken? Didn't you eat it very vigorously?"

Tan Duzhi was confused in the wind: "There is such a thing?!" But in retrospect, it seems that he didn't taste anything strange.

After resting for a while, Ye Huangui mustered up his energy, and he picked up a string of intestines from the water.I saw him grabbing the intestines with one hand and pulling the oil next to the intestines with the other. The mesh-shaped intestinal oil was like a film covering the intestines. When he tore it lightly, the intestines and intestinal oil were separated.

Without the wrapping of intestinal oil, the intestines quickly revealed their true appearance.The color of the upper intestines is pink and tender, and these intestines are relatively thin, while the color of the lower intestines is blue-black, which is also much darker.

A pair of yellow-white flower oil soon appeared in Ye Huangui's hand. He held up the flower oil and said to Tan Duzhi: "Look, Lao Tan, this is the flower oil I told you! I don't know about tiger oil. How does it taste, if it's delicious, I'll make flower oil residue for you to eat!"

The corner of Tan Duzhi's mouth twitched: "Thank you."

After a while, Ye Huangui separated the intestines of the seven tigers from the flower oil. The next scene of cleaning the intestines was too violent, and Tan Duzhi couldn't bear it. He rolled the wheelchair and evacuated from the small bridge.When I left, I didn’t forget to carry a basket of flower oil with my left wrist to go home.

When Ye Huangui came back from the small river, it was completely dark.Ye Huangui's clothes were covered in blood, and he couldn't stand it anymore: "Old Tan, I'll take a bath first. After the bath, we'll have dinner. What do you want to eat first?"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Yes!"

When Ye Huangui washed up and came out of the bathroom, Tan Duzhi still didn't want to eat anything.He handed over the decision to Ye Huangui: "You decide, whatever you make is delicious."

Ye Huan was happy: "Are you hungry? How about this, how about I cook some quick dishes? Stir-fried tiger liver, steamed custard, and lettuce salad?"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Okay."

Ye Huangui worked extremely fast. He took out a bunch of maroon-red tiger livers from the bamboo basket, and after he raised the knife and dropped it, the tiger liver was split into two halves by him.He removed some of the fascia on the tiger liver and cut it into thin slices only a little thicker than copper coins. He put the sliced ​​tiger liver in a large bowl and soaked it in clean water.

Then he went out and came back with a handful of spindly greens and a few strips of unpeeled lettuce.Tan Duzhi was a little confused, he didn't seem to see Ye Huangui planting this kind of vegetable: "What is this?"

Ye Huangui smiled and said: "Garlic sprouts are still very tender, but the more tender the better."

He cooked the Ling rice as quickly as possible, and of course, he did not forget to steam a bowl of custard on top.While cooking the rice, he quickly peeled and shredded the lettuce and marinated it. At the same time, he also cut the garlic sprouts into inch-long pieces.

By the time the aroma of steamed eggs and Ling rice wafted out of the pot, the shredded lettuce had been marinated and placed on the table.The tiger liver in the bowl had already been replaced with clean water several times by him, and it turned slightly white after soaking.

Ye Huangui fished out the tiger liver and filtered the water and put it in a bowl. Although he only sliced ​​half of the tiger liver, there was more than half of the tiger liver in the bowl, which was enough for him and Old Tan to enjoy.

After soaking, the tiger liver smelled only a faint smell of blood. Ye Huangui originally thought that Linghu would have an unpleasant smell, but now it seems that he was thinking about it.Felines are so clean, how could they have a strange smell!

He cut a small handful of ginger and put it in a bowl, then added a spoonful of white wine, a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper.After grasping and kneading evenly, he added a tablespoon of starch to it.After scratching and kneading again, the tiger liver in the bowl was covered with a layer of white starch paste, and the fishy smell was completely covered.

Tan Duzhi asked: "Are you pickling tiger liver?"

Ye Huan picked up the oil jar and scooped a spoonful of oil into the bowl: "Yes! As expected of Lao Tan, you discovered all of this! The liver needs to be marinated so that it doesn't smell bad."

Tan Duzhi was puzzled: "Then why don't you put all the seasonings together in a bowl?" Ye Huangui just put a few seasonings and kneaded it, he didn't quite understand.

Ye Huangui explained: "Each condiment has its own function. The salt wine and shredded ginger are used to remove the fishy smell. The starch is used to make the liver smooth and tender, and the oil is used to keep the liver from burning while frying. Group together. If it goes down together, the efficacy will be compromised!"

While talking, he stirred the big bowl again with chopsticks, trying to let the oil just put down evenly cover every piece of tiger liver.

Tan Duzhi understood: "I understand. It's like medicine. It's very particular about which flavor to apply first, and you can't make a mistake."

Ye Huangui nodded again and again: "Yes! That's how it is!"

While the tiger liver was marinating, Ye Huanhui made a bowl of sauce.Light soy sauce, sugar, starch, and pepper are added to the sauce. After stirring, it smells salty and fresh.

After the sauce was adjusted, Ye Huangui lit the fire in the stove: "Stir-frying the liver is very fast! Wait a little longer and you can start the meal!"

Tan Duzhi said softly, "I'm not in a hurry. Take your time."
