Chapter 283 The little deer comes home (please vote for me)
On the second day, Ying Bao was scraping Poria cocos skin in the house when she suddenly heard someone shouting from outside: "Is Jiang Sanlang at home?"
"Here we are." Jiang Sanlang went out and saw two officers standing outside the courtyard gate. He couldn't help but froze, and quickly clasped his fists: "What do you want, sir?"
The officer took out a large envelope from his bag and handed it to Jiang Sanlang: "This is a letter from the government. The county medical office is recruiting medical students this year. Someone recommended your daughter Jiang Yingbao to enroll. I am here to deliver the admission notice."
Jiang Sanlang took the letter and was a little confused.
Could it be that her daughter is so famous that even the county medical office specially sent an enrollment post?
How can it be?
"Both officials, please come sit down in the room, have a cup of hot tea and rest." Jiang Sanlang quickly welcomed the official into the main room and asked his wife to cook two bowls of egg tea.
The servant was not polite and walked into the main room and sat down.
Ying Bao heard it clearly and was surprised.
My dream actually came true.
But so what, I just won’t go! What can be done to her?
Alas, who is so free? He actually recommended her to go to school at the county medical office.
The so-called schooling is nothing more than working as a medicine boy at the county medical office, which is not much different from working at Li Langzhong's medicine shop.
It's just that after entering the county medical office, you can be selected to take the exam in Fucheng, and then you can be selected to enter Taiyuan Hospital.
But I don’t want to be an imperial physician, so why would I want to study there?
After a while, Chun Niang prepared two bowls of eggs in sugar water, with a few red dates in them.
"Officials, please use it." Chun Niang placed the eggs in sugar water on the table next to the servant.
The servant smiled and thanked: "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
The two of them said goodbye and left after eating a few sugar-watered eggs.
Ying Bao opened the letter and saw her name, place of origin, age, when she would enter school, etc. written on it.
Jiang Sanlang asked with hope: "Bao'er, when are you going to go?"
"I won't go!" She didn't want to go to the county medical office.
"Why?" Jiang Sanlang was puzzled.
Ying Bao: "We are not short of money, why should we go?"
To put it bluntly, practicing medicine is also about making money. Since you are not short of money, there is no need to go to medicine.
Moreover, her and her family's status will not change in any way after joining the Medical Department. In this case, why would he bother to get involved with the heroine of the novel?
Furthermore, students at the Medical Department obey the orders of the imperial court, and it would be bad if one day they were transferred to the army as a military doctor.
Chun Niang nodded in agreement: "That's right, Bao'er has been working as a medicine boy in Mr. Li's drug store for more than half a year. He probably learned the same thing when going to the medical office. Our family doesn't expect Bao'er to make money by practicing medicine. It doesn't matter whether he goes or not. .”
Seeing that his wife and daughter were unwilling to go, Jiang Sanlang sighed, "Okay, I just don't know who sent this letter. Can I reject it?"
Although Ying Bao didn't know who sent the letter, it was definitely not Wu Daozi.
Apart from the magistrate of the county, I didn't know any high-ranking officials in the county government. How could anyone recommend me to go to school?
Let's talk about Dr. Li. He has stayed in the Capital Hospital, and even his second grandson has stayed behind. He may have the qualifications to recommend students. But he was far away in the capital, and he was a newly promoted doctor at the Taiyuan Hospital. There was no way he could do such a thing without his knowledge.
Hey, no matter what, I just won’t go anyway.
Yingbao handed the letter to her father and continued to scrape the Poria cocos. After scraping off the surface, she cut it into pieces and put them outside to dry.
After drying, she will use the Poria cocos to make some Poria cocos cakes, and she can also use the Poria cocos to cook porridge.
Poria cocos has mild medicinal properties and can be used as a tonic or purgative. It can not only diuretic and dampness, but also strengthen the spleen and calm the heart. It is usually compatible with Atractylodes, yam, ginseng, licorice, Alisma, etc.
Fast forward to February.
As the saying goes, the dragon raises its head on the second day of February, so this day is also called the Dragon Head Festival.
Each family began to make dragon beard noodles, dragon cakes, longan wontons, etc., and also carried sacrifices to the gods of society to pray for a good harvest.
Also on this day, villagers shave the heads of their baby babies.
Chu Chu shaved her daughter's head, leaving a tuft of peach-shaped hair on the lumen and a tuft of hair on the back of her head.
This season is also the best time to eat wild vegetables. The fields and fields are full of tender shepherd’s purse, which is delicious when used to make dumplings and make soups.
Chen Zhao took his younger brother to see Ying Bao again to dig shepherd's purse and make dumplings at night.
Yingbao happened to be going to dig some herbs in the wild, so she readily agreed.
Three people and one dog, carrying baskets and bamboo baskets on their backs, walked slowly outside the village.
The early spring sunshine shines on people, giving them a slight warmth.
Xu Bao held her sister's hand tightly, walking more and more steadily on her legs and feet, and turned her head and grinned at Ying Bao from time to time.
It's just that he's not very willing to talk. If others say anything to him, he just nods and shakes his head.
Chen Zhao felt particularly sorry for this younger brother. Ever since Chu Man kicked Xu Bao into the water, she had taken him with him every step of the way.
"Wow! There are so many shepherd's purses here!"
The two came to a wild field, and Chen Zhao was surprised by the shepherd's purse all over the ground.
Ying Bao was not surprised. This was wasteland purchased by her family and had been slightly reclaimed. She scattered a lot of shepherd's purse and bitter herb purslane seeds here, and watered the pool again.
The wild vegetables and herbs grew rapidly after watering, and she, Sister Dani and Sister Erni would occasionally come over to dig them.
Chen Zhao was so happy that he squatted on the ground and shoveled shepherd's purses one by one, shook off the soil, and put them into his basket.
Yingbao also shoveled half of the shepherd's purse in the basket, and found some bitter vegetables and put them into the basket.
Bitter cabbage is not only edible, but also has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. For example, if it is decoctioned and taken, it can treat pharyngitis, dysentery, cold and fever, chronic bronchitis, etc., with significant effects.
After Chen Zhao dug the shepherd's purse, he didn't rush home. Instead, he walked around the area, picked up some dead branches and tied them up, ready to take them back for the fire.
Xu Bao also helped his sister pick up dead branches and was not tired from running around. He was completely different from the Xu Bao in his previous life.
The two siblings who lost their mother seemed to be quite sensible.
Ying Bao glanced at the two of them, then looked around for edible wild vegetables.
Xiao Hei was running around, and suddenly he seemed to find something and barked desperately.
"Woof woof woof woof!" Xiao Hei shouted as he ran towards the woods in the distance.
"Xiao Hei!" Ying Bao quickly chased after him.
Xiao Hei ignored it and rushed straight into the woods.
Chen Zhao wanted to take his younger brother with him, but he couldn't keep up with Ying Bao and stamped his feet anxiously: "Hey, hey! Don't run around! Come back quickly!"
This area is a deserted forest and mountainous area that no one visits. Wild boars and wolves appear from time to time. It is very dangerous for a child of several years old to go in alone.
Yingbao chased Xiao Hei into the woods, and saw him barking wildly in one direction, and even the dog's shit came out.
"What's wrong?" She looked over there and suddenly saw a deer flashing past.
Ying Bao was startled, and suddenly thought of Yoyo, whom she had raised for several years.
She tentatively called into the forest a few times: "Yo yo! Yo yo!"
After a while, a tall stag walked out of the forest step by step, standing not far away and looking at Yingbao.
When Yingbao saw the remaining belt on its back, she almost shed tears: "Yoyo! You are back."
She took out a handful of Wudingzhi and tentatively handed it to Youyou: "Here! Here it is for you to eat."
The big deer came step by step, lowered his head and licked the palm of Ying Bao's hand.
Take a bite, look up at her, and then lick it.
Yingbao touched its head with her other hand and whispered, "Let me cut off the belt on your body, okay?"
She was afraid that she would startle Yoyo, and then it would run away again. If the remaining belt on the body was not removed, it might be further injured.
After all, I haven’t seen her for several years, and I don’t know if Youyou is still willing to get close to her.
Youyou raised her head, stared at Yingbao silently for a while, and then nuzzled her with her head.
