Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Mr. Yang was so distressed.

Logically speaking, it is a bit late to start studying medicine at the age of 20.

When you are young, you should follow your master to identify pharmacology, and then slowly, slowly take the pulse and diagnose diseases, and pass it on step by step.

If Cao Wei was just an ordinary genius, Mr. Yang would not feel it was a pity. After all, he had seen geniuses before.

But Cao Wei, in just a few months, was able to achieve what others had achieved in several years. In just a few months, the foundation had already been laid quite solidly.

If we continue to learn, it is not impossible that the tradition will be passed on.

But this guy just doesn't want to do that and just wants to be a cook.

The old man had no choice. Everyone has their own aspirations. You can't force someone to become a doctor, and that's not appropriate.

The old man also has a headache looking at this disgusting thing every day.

"This is my wife, Qin Jingru. Jingru, call me Master."

"Master." Qin Jingru called out timidly.

"Come, come here." The old man waved at Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru walked over obediently.

The old man pointed to the small stool next to him and motioned for her to sit down.

After Qin Jingru sat down, the old man felt her pulse, looked at her, and motioned Cao Wei to come over.

Cao Wei laughed awkwardly: "Old man, you don't have to worry about me. Just look at my wife and see how she takes care of herself."

"You've studied for so long, but you can't see this little problem? Mix it yourself and show it to me before dispensing it." Old Master Yang nodded at Cao Wei: "You! Stop doing bad things!"

Qin Jingru blinked her eyes: "What's the trouble?"

"Hmph!" Old Master Yang glared at Cao Wei and said softly to Qin Jingru, "My girl, you are fine. You are just a little weak. You just need to take care of yourself."

"Yeah, listen to the old man."

"Okay, fine. Just go around and walk around when you have nothing to do. Little Sun, Little Sun." The old man called out a few times, and the elderly medicine dispenser walked in.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Take this little girl out for a walk. By the way, take the small tonic recipe from the hut, give her a portion and teach her how to make it."

"Okay. Come on, little girl."

Qin Jingru looked towards Cao Wei.

"Go ahead and learn from Master Sun. I also need to drink some medicine occasionally. If you learn, I won't have to do it myself in the future."

"Okay!" Qin Jingru then walked away happily, swinging her pigtails.

"Tell me, what happened?" Old Master Yang waited until Qin Jingru walked away before glaring at Cao Wei.

"What's going on?" The weather was not hot, but a trace of cold sweat seeped out of Cao Wei's forehead.

"Then stretch out your hand and let me feel your pulse?"

"No need, old man, I'm fine." Cao Wei was alert.

Others may not know the old man, but how could he not know him? It is not an exaggeration to say that the old man's medical books are superb. My goodness, if he were to take the pulse, would he still be alive?

"I don't need to feel your pulse to know that you performed the ritual of intimacy last night, but the little girl was still virgin. Why?"

"What the hell?" Cao Wei couldn't help but swear: "You can see that?"

Cao Wei was not referring to the fact that the old man saw that Qin Jingru was a virgin, but that he did it last night. He didn't even feel her pulse, but he saw it at a glance? This is not like a human being.

“I wasn’t sure before, but now I am sure.”

Cao Wei: ...

"No, are you lying?" He felt a slight toothache and thought he had met a god, but it turned out he had met a "uncle", the "uncle" who said "your uncle is still your uncle".

"You meet all kinds of people while practicing medicine. How can you diagnose and treat them if you don't explain the condition clearly? You are still far from it. Tell the truth, what is going on? That little girl..."

"Uncle, please stop asking, okay? She's a real daughter-in-law. I'm just worried that she won't be able to handle it."

"This idea sounds like a human being, but this behavior is no different from that of an animal."

Cao Wei: ...

Everything is fine, why are you still swearing?

"I'm too old to care about it. Does the little girl know about it? If she doesn't know, you should break up with her as soon as possible. It's the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beauty. You may not be able to bear it."

"she knows."

Mr. Yang:...

Old Master Yang grinned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He shook his head: "I'm old."

forecourt

Qin Jingru's face was wrinkled. She had just drunk a large bowl of Chinese medicine. She felt as if she was going to heaven.

Shopkeeper Sun smiled and handed her a piece of tangerine peel: "Good medicine tastes bitter, come, sweeten your mouth."

This is also one of the few pleasures that Shopkeeper Sun has. Looking at the expressions of the young girls and boys after they drank the Chinese medicine, their skin is all wrinkled together, how cute they are.

"Uncle Sun, how long will it take them to learn?"

"Normally, I study until sunset, cook dinner and go home. If you feel bored, you can learn how to identify medicinal herbs. You have nothing to do anyway. If the young master wants to get some medicine in the future, you will be able to recognize the herbs."

"Well, then I'll learn it!" Qin Jingru nodded seriously.

"Okay, then I'll let Dacheng take you, Dacheng, Dacheng." Shopkeeper Sun called out, and the old friend came out again. Shopkeeper Sun said a few words to Sun Dacheng, and Sun Dacheng nodded, and his eyes softened when he looked at Qin Jingru.

In fact, everyone in Baweizhai believed that Cao Wei was the young master. If the young master married a wife, she would be the young lady. If the young lady was willing to learn from them, it would undoubtedly be good news. Maybe, Baweizhai could continue to be passed down.

When Cao Wei came out after finishing his studies, he saw Qin Jingru lying in the middle courtyard and snoring.

"Master Cao, how are you?"

"Yes, let's make a meal at the same time. What's this, Jingru?"

"Oh, the little girl is very diligent. She memorized the herbs carefully and got tired. I'll let her sleep for a while. Her body is still too weak. After taking the medicine, I guess she will be sleepy in the next few days. If possible, eat small meals frequently at home..." Sun Dacheng explained Qin Jingru's condition in detail.

Cao Wei nodded as he listened.

Sun Dacheng was also a very powerful person in theory. It was just that he encountered some problems in his early years, otherwise, he would also be one of the doctors in this clinic.

Old Master Yang kept saying it was a pity, but he didn't tell Cao Wei what it was.

Cao Wei didn't ask either.

"Then let her sleep for a while. I'll go cook."

Cao Wei was not in a hurry to wake Qin Jingru up. Sun Dacheng was not the kind of person who would brag to everyone he met. Qin Jingru had probably worked hard to a certain extent and fell asleep due to over-exertion.

I glanced at Qin Jingru who was sleeping in the orange-red sunlight. She smacked her lips from time to time, as if she was dreaming about something delicious.

Cao Wei couldn't help but chuckle, quickened his pace, and went to the kitchen to cook.
