Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 721 Even if you do something wrong, it’s better than doing nothing
"It seems that I still don't know enough about these spices. Now I have learned everything I can learn from Song San's father, but I need to learn more if I want to develop further." Chen Nian thought in his heart. road.

But right now there are only three ways to learn more about the characteristics and usage of spices. The first is to find another master who is proficient in this way. But in Yong'an County, Song San's stewed pork is still the best. Although other people are also imitating the trend of production, but after all, it is almost interesting.

The second is to find merchants who sell spices to learn. Since they sell this, they must be proficient in this way, but there is a problem that they are in business, so how can they teach themselves? Even if they go to apprentice, they may not accept it. , after all, I don't have that much time to spend there all the time.

The third is to go to the pharmacy to learn, but if you go to the other party to learn, the problem is the same as the second one. They may not be able to teach you, but from a professional point of view, you must be more familiar with the pharmacy.

In general, the third option is more reliable.

"Go back and find out. After all, I often go to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, and I have a good relationship with the old shopkeeper. Ask first, and learn if it works. If it doesn't work, I can only think of other ways. .”

Chen Nian thought.

So in the morning of the next day, Chen Nian took Xiao Tao to the pharmacy after finishing his family affairs.

"Brother Chen Nian, shall we still buy medicinal materials this time?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "We don't buy medicinal materials today. I want to worship the shopkeeper of Huichuntang as my master and let him teach me some knowledge, but I don't know if it will succeed."

"Brother Chen Nian, you are so smart, you will definitely succeed." Xiao Tao said encouragingly, holding her pink fist.

"Hopefully."

In this way, they came to Huichuntang, which is the pharmacy that Chen Nian often goes to, and the old shopkeeper's name is Sun Ban'an.

But when Chen Nian brought Xiaotao to the medicine shop and explained his intention straight to the point, Sun Ban'an shook his head: "It's not that the old man doesn't pass it on to you, but my craft is passed down from family, it's a rule established by our ancestors, please forgive me. "

Hearing this, Chen Nian sighed in disappointment.

It's useless to say that he actually brought out the ancestral precepts: "Sorry, Shopkeeper Sun, for interrupting."

Chen Nian took Xiaotao and left again. He stood at the door and looked back at Huichun Hall. Although it sells medicine here, there are also doctors in the hall. His original intention is to learn more about the characteristics of medicinal materials that can be used as ingredients here. And the method of decoction.

Although Chen Nian studied food, he also knows that decocting medicine in Chinese medicine is also very particular. There are sayings about what to put first and what to put later.

But now the other party refused to teach, Chen Nian had no choice but to take Xiao Tao to the spice merchant to ask, but the result was naturally told by the other party that there was no shortage of people, and even if they were recruiting, they would have to hire permanent workers.

It is best to eat and live in the store.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work." Chen Nian looked up at the sky, feeling a little helpless, but since he couldn't find a master, where could he learn this knowledge?

Thinking of this, he went to Fu Ting's house again, and asked Fu Ting's house if he had any books on medicinal materials, but Fu Ting also expressed regret that he didn't have those things in his house.

"Brother Chen Nian, why don't they teach you? Obviously, you won't steal their business, and there is no loss for them."

The current Xiaotao is very sensitive to things like robbing business, but she can't figure out why those people would reject Brother Chen from the door.

"How can there be a free lunch in this world?" Chen Nian said.

"Yes, I don't need to give money when I eat at Brother Chen's house. If Brother Chen comes to eat at our house, father and mother will not care about Brother Chen asking for money."

"That's because the relationship between our two families is getting closer, but to others, we are just outsiders after all."

Xiaotao nodded half-understood, wondering if she and Brother Chen Nian were in the same relationship?

However, she felt that although Brother Chen Nian was only four years older than herself, he was exactly the same as those adults in his heart. After all, she still couldn't understand the world of adults.

After returning home at noon, Chen Nian has no other choice right now, he can only try again bit by bit, there are hundreds of kinds of herbs in Huichun Tang, and he has only tried a small part of them before. .

After making the braised pork in the afternoon, Chen Nian took some money from his small treasury to carry on his body, and then headed towards Huichun Hall.

"If you don't teach, you don't teach, but business must still be done."

And Xiaotao followed behind Chen Nian like a follower.

It takes about three miles from home to Huichuntang, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk normally. If you walk faster, 10 minutes is enough.

There are quite a few people on the street in the afternoon, most of them are out shopping, and there are also acquaintances who greet each other after meeting on the street, chat for a few words and then separate.

Just walking like this and looking at the small merchants on both sides of the street, Chen Nian suddenly heard an exclamation from the front.

"Ouch!"

"Fall down!"

"Lang Zhong, hurry up and call Lang Zhong!"

"Could it be dead..."

Things like that.

Then the crowd quickly gathered.

Chen Nian couldn't help pulling Xiao Tao and walked over quickly.

Due to Chen Nian's tall stature and the fact that the incident had just happened, there were not many people watching. Chen Nian was outside and could see what was going on inside at a glance.

The old man fell on the ground, with his back turned to his side, unable to see his face clearly, but the clothes on his body were somewhat familiar, but apart from the fallen old man, Chen Nian saw the woman who was next to him at a glance, and at this moment, his face was showing anxiety Feelings.

He was squatting beside the old man, calling anxiously.

Chen Nian also knew this woman, she was Sun Yunrou, the daughter of shopkeeper Sun Banan Sun.

"Could it be that shopkeeper Sun had an accident?"

When Chen Nian saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel worried. Although the shopkeeper Sun was unwilling to accept him as an apprentice in the morning, in the past half a year, Chen Nian came here every now and then to buy medicinal materials. Shopkeeper Sun treats everyone very kindly.

So naturally he couldn't sit idly by.

So he squeezed into the crowd on the spot.

"Is someone calling Lang Zhong?"

After Chen Nian's voice fell, the surrounding crowd did not respond.

Even Sun Yunrou just kept calling.

Chen Nian was so anxious that he opened his mouth to Sun Yunrou and scolded: "What are you yelling here? Hurry up and call the doctor! Isn't there a doctor on duty in your Huichuntang? Hurry up and call over to save people!"

Only then did Sun Yunrou look up at Chen Nian.

Just now she was flustered for a moment, and she was only focused on calling for help, but now she was reminded by Chen Nian and forgot that she usually ignores Chen Nian every time she sees her.

"I'm going right now!"

"But my father..."

"I'll look after it for you, hurry up and call for someone!" Chen Nian was about to die of anxiety, he only hated that he was not a doctor now.

After Sun Yunrou heard this, she got up and was about to call for someone, but at this moment, a voice came from the crowd again: "Let me go, my legs and feet should be faster!"

Chen Nian looked up, and Fu Ting also passed by here at some time, holding two steaming meat buns in his hand.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Chen Nian said angrily.

Fu Ting nodded, and left a sentence: "I'll leave this place to Brother Chen!"

Then he ran towards Huichun Hall.

Sun Yunrou naturally also stayed here.

Looking at Sun Ban'an lying unconscious on the ground, Chen Nian was very anxious, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have participated in first aid training when he was in school!

Under certain circumstances, CPR can be performed for the patient through manual chest compressions and artificial respiration.

But thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help hesitating.

I am not a professional, if I act rashly, it may be counterproductive, and if Shopkeeper Sun is due to other reasons or is in a coma, will it cause any trouble if I act by myself.

Although he was thinking, he still involuntarily came to Sun Ban'an's side, knelt down on the ground and called shopkeeper Sun, while listening to shopkeeper Sun for making a sound.

The people around were still discussing, their voices were a little disturbed, and they yelled old-fashionedly: "Shut up!"

After everyone quieted down, he continued to listen carefully, but at the moment Sun Ban'an didn't make any sound at all.

This means that there is no spontaneous breathing.

And when he called out, Sun Ban'an didn't answer.

Then he reached out and touched Sun Ban'an's neck, this is what Chen Nian learned when he was receiving training.

But at this moment, Sun Ban'an's neck was no longer beating like a normal person, it was calm and waveless.

After realizing this scene, Chen Nian's heart couldn't help but feel cold.

"How to do?"

"To do or not to do?"

Chen Nian kept thinking.

At this moment, Sun Yunrou also stood aside and asked nervously: "How is it?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "I'm not breathing, and I don't have a pulse in my neck."

After hearing this, Sun Yunrou felt as if the sky had fallen!
Looking at Sun Yunrou who couldn't hide his sorrowful expression and let the tears flow down his cheeks, Chen Nian finally made up his mind!

"Now that I have reached this point, although I can stay out of it by doing nothing, this is a living human life. Even if I do something wrong, it is better than doing nothing!"

"Sun Banan is obviously a sudden death. If you wait an extra minute in this situation, the chance of Sun Banan's real death will increase by 1%!" So Chen Nian shouted again:
"Everyone step back!"

Now everyone doesn't know what Chen Nian is going to do, but they have heard what Chen Nian said just now. Shopkeeper Sun is not breathing, his pulse is not beating, and he is obviously dead. On their own, they also involuntarily took a few steps back.

And Chen Nian tried his best to recall the doctor's teachings during the training.

First straighten Sun Ban'an's body so that he lies flat on the ground, and then untie the opponent's collar and belt.

Then he got down and checked the opponent's mouth and nose for any foreign objects that obstructed breathing.

Just when everyone was wondering, Chen Nian clasped his left hand on the back of his right hand in a kneeling position, pointed at Sun Banan's chest, and pressed down hard.

Chen Nian didn't know whether his posture was standard or not, but he was already doing his best.

"a bit!"

"Twice!"

"Three times!"

Chen Nian remembered that during the training, the doctor taught him to perform artificial respiration once or twice every thirty times.

And Chen Nian was doing psychological construction for himself at the moment, but when he pressed it to the tenth time, Sun Yunrou had no idea what Chen Nian was doing.

Because according to what Chen Nian just said, Sun Ban'an seems to be out of breath now.

In such a small county, being out of breath naturally means death.

In addition, Chen Nian remembered that the doctor said that when doing chest compressions, the depth must be in place, otherwise there will be no great effect.

So every time you press, shopkeeper Sun's chest will sink about four or five centimeters.

This made Sun Yunrou mistakenly think that Chen Nian was torturing the old man.

"Stop! What the hell are you doing!"

"My father has already become like this, why do you still bully him like this!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nian glared at him viciously: "Shut up! Do you want to watch your father die like this?"

Chen Nian's eyes are extremely fierce at this moment, he knows that maybe what he does is useless, but at least there is still a glimmer of hope!
But once you give up, there is nothing left.

Chen Nian's fierce gaze directly forced Sun Yunrou to take a step back, and now her father is in the opponent's hands.

Just when Chen Nian pressed No.30, he squeezed the sides of Sun Banan's mouth hard to make it open under everyone's shocked eyes, then took a breath and leaned down to blow it in!

"A crime!"

"Who will take care of this beggar, he is already dead, and he still has to be tortured like this!"

"Poor old man Sun is getting old!"

After Chen Nian breathed out like this twice, he felt that the surrounding voices were extremely irritating, so he sat up again and continued to press. At the same time, he looked at everyone again!
"Shut up all of you!"

"Whoever says one more word, I will kill your whole family!"

At this moment, Chen Nian's eyes were already red.

In this way, I kept repeating the compression [-] times, and then performed the regularity of artificial respiration twice.

Not long after, Fu Ting rushed over with an old doctor carrying a medicine box, but after seeing this scene, he didn't reprimand Chen Nian for tossing around, but asked eagerly, "What's the matter?"

Chen Nian kept pressing the pressure all the time, and replied, "No breathing on my own, and no pulse!"

The old doctor put down the medicine box in a hurry. After Chen Nian stepped aside, he lay down on his stomach, bent down and listened carefully.

Looking solemn.

"How is it?" Sun Yunrou asked.

"I'm afraid it's already..." the old man said in a low voice with a black face.

"Is there any help?" Chen Nian asked again.

"I'm helpless. If it's a famous doctor in the capital, maybe..."

Chen Nian immediately understood what the other party meant.

But he looked at shopkeeper Sun, still extremely unwilling in his heart, so he forcefully pushed the old man aside again, and began to repeat the previous actions.

Although Chen Nian was such a vicious threat before, but now Sun Yunrou couldn't care less about it, and wanted to reach out to stop it, but at this time, the old man raised his hand to stop him.

"Let him try..."

"This method... I have heard about it before, and it may really save the shopkeeper's life."

Sun Yunrou looked at Chen Nian in surprise when he heard this.

During the pressing, Chen Nian quickly asked again: "If his rib is broken, can you take it back?"

Chen Nian didn't know much about the medical level in ancient times, but he always felt that Chinese medicine should be very powerful in bone setting and bone setting.

After hearing this, the old doctor nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"That's good."

In this way, Chen Nian continued to perform chest compressions and artificial respiration for Sun Banan.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky gradually became dark.

Chen Nian couldn't remember how many sets he had done, and now he only felt that he was about to die suddenly, every movement became a mechanical movement, his arms were so sore, all supported by a feeling of unwillingness.

On the way of pressing, Chen Nian could clearly feel shopkeeper Sun's ribs breaking one by one.

He didn't know if the broken ribs would pierce into other internal organs, and he didn't know if he was doing useless work now. Perhaps shopkeeper Sun had already fallen into a real death, but he knew that he still had the strength now. .

"Forget it..." the old doctor said.

But Chen Nian's eyes were red, and even tears had already flowed down, these were unwilling tears.

"Two quarters of an hour have passed, and the person must be dead."

"Stop torturing shopkeeper Sun."

"What kind of medical skills do you know as a beggar? The doctor has already said that there is no cure."

"Yes, a beggar..."

"Isn't it because of what happened in the morning that I have a grudge? I just went to buy medicine in the morning, and I heard that he wanted to worship shopkeeper Sun as a teacher, but he was rejected..."

"It must be so!"

"Express officer!"

The people next to you are talking one by one, Xiao Tao has already burst into tears at this moment, she was a little surprised by Chen Nian's behavior at first, but after seeing Chen Nian's appearance, her heart couldn't help but tugged stand up.

Hearing everyone's words again, she turned around and cried loudly to those people: "Brother Chen Nian is not the kind of person you said! Brother Chen Nian is stronger than all of you!"

But Xiaotao's words didn't help.

"You little girl, what do you know?"

"What about your lord, take it back quickly!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a stern voice from behind: "My son will never do that kind of thing!"

"How do you know? Maybe shopkeeper Sun could be saved, but if you let your son press like this, he will be pressed to death!" The man sneered.

At this time Song San squeezed into the crowd: "If that's the case, I'll pay it back with my old life!"

The old Langzhong has also been waiting until now, and when he heard the conversation outside, he couldn't help but say: "Shopkeeper Sun has a stubborn illness, and he has been taking medicine before, but it took such a long time for today's sudden attack, even if this young man Brother, if you don’t treat me with this method, Shopkeeper Sun might not be able to support me.”

The man fell silent when he heard this.

"Wake up, Shopkeeper Sun!"

"I'm really dying."

"Shopkeeper Sun, I beg you..."

Chen Nian kept begging in his heart, tears flowed down drop by drop, he felt the loss of his physical strength, and the sense of powerlessness gradually spread.

This was the second time he saw a person about to die in front of him.

"I wish I had known that I was going to study medicine..."

At this moment, Chen Nian began to blame himself for not being a doctor. Maybe his method was wrong from the beginning, or maybe it was because he was not professional enough that he couldn't save Shopkeeper Sun.

……

Chen Nian's brain had already started to feel dizzy, and under such high-intensity first aid, he felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.

But at this moment, someone yelled.

"Moved!"

"I saw his legs move!"

Everyone's subconscious action when they heard this was to step back.

In their thinking, Mr. Sun should be dead by now. If the dead person moves, isn't that a fraudulent corpse?
Only the old man hurriedly crawled to Sun Ban'an's side after hearing this, stretched out his hand to check Sun Ban'an's breath, and then touched Sun Ben'an's carotid artery, showing joy!
"Live alive!"

"Shopkeeper Sun is alive!"

He shouted like crazy, as if he saw some miracle in the world!
At this moment, the old tears could no longer be held back, they flowed out like a spring, and landed on Sun Ban'an's clothes.

It's just that the movement of the hands still hasn't stopped.

Because the other party is likely to be in a suspended animation right now, and the real confirmation can only be confirmed when the vital signs are fully recovered. However, when Grandpa Sun made a movement, Chen Nian only felt that he had been given a shot in the arm.

He began to struggle with the last of his strength.

He no longer had the strength, and even the depth of compression could not reach the normal first aid standard.

Just like that, another minute later.

Shopkeeper Sun suddenly started coughing violently!

Some of the people showed surprise, while others seemed to have seen a ghost.

It was at this moment that the officials from the government came late and quickly evacuated the crowd, and then looked at Sun Ban'an who was coughing and Chen Nian who had completely collapsed and was sitting on his knees with dull eyes.

"You killed Sun Ban'an?"

Chen Nian didn't have the strength to explain the matter at all, and a bystander excitedly told the official about the cause of the matter.

The old Langzhong had already rushed forward to examine Sun Ban'an, and Sun Yurou was already crying badly, and now he was lying beside Sun Ban'an, calling non-stop.

"Don't... don't let him talk..."

"Find a plank and carry him back...the ribs are broken...need to be fixed."

Chen Nian said intermittently.

After the officer learned the cause of the incident, he watched in surprise that Chen Nian could bring a person back from the dead. Isn't this a fairy coming down to earth?

But now shopkeeper Sun has indeed woken up, and everyone started to help, looking for boards for boards, and sheets for sheets.

Shopkeeper Sun also opened his eyes at this moment. He didn't know what happened, but somehow he saw Chen Nian who was sitting slumped on the ground.

Just watched it like this until he was carried away.

Just after Shopkeeper Sun was carried away, Chen Nian finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell directly to the ground. He didn't fall into a coma, but was just too tired.

He didn't know why, although he saved the person, but now he just wanted to cry, but he didn't even have the strength to cry, so he just opened his mouth silently, letting the tears flow down.

Song San came to his son with distress.

He asked his wife to help Chen Nian up and put him on his back. Others wanted to help, but Song San directly persuaded him to leave.

In this way, Chen Nian was also memorized by Song San's efforts.

Step by step towards home.

Xiaotao followed Song San step by step, tightly holding the old and messy corners of his clothes.

"Son, are you awake?"

"En." Chen Nian's voice sounded like a mosquito came from Song San's back.

"Tell me about you, why are you making fun of it? This is a person who was saved by you. If you didn't, you might be caught in a prison. Dad felt a little scared just now, and finally got you Such a son, but he almost disappeared... Let me tell you, that big prison is not a place for people to stay. Good people go in and stay there for a few years, and they will become crazy after they come out... Hey, you still told me that How about... how about it? If you encounter such a thing in the future, would you dare to join in the fun?"

Xu Erni couldn't help reminding from the side: "I said this."

But when her voice fell, Chen Nian's lips could only be heard moving, and he said a word weakly and stubbornly:

"dare!"
