Chapter 12 Yam cake, silk thread

When Lu Qing woke up from his deep sleep, the first thing he heard was Xiaoyan's happy laughter.

He looked at himself. The silver needle on his body was no longer there, and he was covered with a thin quilt.

I don’t know how long I slept.

Lu Qing secretly thought, took off the quilt, put on his coat, and walked out.

When they arrived in the yard, they saw old doctor Chen and Xiaoyan sitting at a stone table.

They didn't know what they were talking about, but both of them were laughing happily.

Especially Xiaoyan, holding a piece of white pastry in her hand, smiled very happily.

Brother, you're awake!

Xiaoyan was giggling and was pleasantly surprised when she saw Lu Qing coming out of the room.

He jumped off the stone bench with a bang and handed the cake in his hand to Lu Qing.

Brother, look, this is the yam cake made by Grandpa Chen. It is very delicious. Do you want to eat a piece too?

Lu Qing did not take the piece of cake, but looked at Old Doctor Chen: Grandpa Chen, Xiaoyan didn't make any nonsense to you, right?

Old Doctor Chen waved his hand: It's okay. Xiaoyan is innocent and innocent. I feel very happy to have her talking with me. How about it? How do you feel when you just woke up?

It feels good. Lu Qing moved his body, I seem to have a lot of strength all of a sudden. Grandpa Chen, am I fully recovered now?

It can't be that simple. The old doctor laughed, Your body is severely deficient and your foundation is weak. It needs to be slowly nursed back to recovery. My foundation-strengthening needle will only temporarily mobilize your vitality, so that you can recover. There is an illusion of increased strength.”

Next, you need to take supplements with medicinal foods to make up for the body's shortcomings and get well as soon as possible.

Here, this plate of yam cake is not only for Xiaoyan to eat, but also for you. Eat a few pieces.

Yam has the nourishing effect of strengthening the spleen and lungs, strengthening the kidneys and replenishing essence, so it is just right for you.

The old doctor pushed the plate of snow-white yam cake forward on the stone table and motioned to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing looked at the plate of yam cake and hesitated: Grandpa Chen, this yam cake must be very precious, right?

It's not that precious. This thing is rare outside, but it grows a lot in the mountains. It's not difficult to find. I still have some here, so feel free to eat it.

Old Doctor Chen saw Lu Qing's thoughts and said warmly.

He said it easily, but how could Lu Qing take it seriously.

The dangers in the mountains and forests are well known, and the old doctor can dig this thing out because of his ability.

But it would be too naive to really regard this yam as a bargain.

But he also knew that the old doctor had mentioned this, and if he refused, it would be too pretentious.

So he bowed to old doctor Chen and said gratefully: Thank you very much, Grandpa Chen.

After that, he sat down at the stone table, picked up a piece of yam cake and started eating it.

The pastry is soft and fragrant in the mouth, very delicious.

Even people like Lu Qing, who had tasted various modern pastries in previous lives, found them very delicious.

He focused his eyes on the pastries on the plate. Soon, a white light lit up and a note appeared.

[Yam cake: a cake made with yam as the main ingredient. 】

[Strengthening the spleen and lungs, strengthening the kidneys and replenishing essence, it seems to have a good effect on nourishing the body. 】

The evaluation given by the superpower is exactly the same as what Dr. Chen said.

Brother, is it delicious? Xiaoyan asked proudly.

Yeah, it's delicious. Lu Qing nodded honestly.

Old doctor Chen had been observing Lu Qing, and when he saw him eating a few pieces of yam cake, he stopped and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Although hungry, he still behaves politely when faced with delicious food and is not gluttonous.

Lu Qing's performance made him quite satisfied.

In the past, he had not noticed that there was such a special young man in the village.

However, it is still a bit premature to draw a conclusion now, and we need to investigate for a while.

Thinking of the thoughts he had while Lu Qing was sleeping, Old Doctor Chen pondered for a moment.

Then he said: Lu Qing, you said you are interested in medicinal materials. Do you want to study medicine?

I don't dare to talk about learning medicine. Lu Qing said quickly, It's just that the boy saw the magic of medicinal materials and yearned for it.

Grandpa Chen also knows that my family has experienced changes. My parents have passed away, and the family is even more impoverished. It is really difficult to support the remaining two acres of thin farmland.

That's why I thought that if I could learn some skills in identifying and picking herbs, I might be able to support our two brothers and sisters.

Collecting herbs is indeed a way out. Old Doctor Chen nodded, It's just that this road is not easy. There are many dangers in the mountains. It is not that easy to be a good herb collector. of.

You have to try it to find out. Besides, there is no job in this world that is easy.

Yes, no job in this world is easy. Old Doctor Chen praised, It's rare for you to have such knowledge.

In that case, from next time on, after every injection, you can stay and help me dry the medicinal materials. How much you can remember depends on your understanding.

Thank you, Grandpa Chen.

Although he had heard the old doctor mention it before, Lu Qing still felt happy to hear him mention it again.

Grandpa Chen, why can't you teach your brother today? Xiaoyan asked.

The little guy listened for a long time, but he understood a little bit.

Not today. Old Doctor Chen chuckled, Grandpa Chen has to go to the city today and doesn't have so much time.

Going into town?

Lu Qing's heart moved, but he still held it back.

His performance today was already a bit out of line, so it would be inappropriate to inquire further.

Anyway, even if he knew the information in the city now, it would be of little use to him.

Xiaoyan, on the other hand, had no such scruples at all. When she heard that Old Doctor Chen said he was going to the city, she immediately widened her curious eyes.

Grandpa Chen, what's it like in the city?

In the city, that can't be explained in a short while. When Xiaoyan grows up, you will know after you go there by yourself. This city is much better than outside.

Xiaoyan suddenly showed a longing look.

Even Lu Qing was surprised.

According to the old doctor's words, there seems to be some mystery in this city.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the old doctor stood up.

Okay, you guys go back first. I also have to prepare for a trip to the city. Lu Qing, please remember to come back for the injection in three days.

Seeing that the old doctor was about to leave, Lu Qing hesitated for a moment and then said: Grandpa Chen, I have something to ask you.

Oh, what's the matter?

I would like to ask, what threads are stronger and not easy to break?

Silk thread, what's the use of this, you ask?

Lu Qing thought about his words and said: Yesterday, I went to the river to fish, and then I discovered that the boy seemed to have some talent in fishing, but the fishing rod made with hemp thread at home was not very strong and slightly If you use more force, the fishing line will break easily and you will not be able to catch big fish.”

So it's like asking Grandpa Chen, which silk thread is stronger and suitable for making better fishing rods.

Tougher threads... The old doctor heard Lu Qing's words and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he walked towards the house.

Wait for me here.
