When Zhen Zhen arrived at Mr. Zhang's house, Zhang Renze had already packed up and was ready to go out. When he saw Zhen Zhen's energetic appearance and her little red face, a very satisfied expression appeared on his face, he smiled and asked: "Zhen Zhen, in the morning. Out for a run?"

"Yes." Zhen Zhen took the basket from Zhang Renze's hand and said with a smile, "I ran around Hou Yang in the morning and read French again."

Zhang Renze nodded in relief: "That's good, young people should be full of vigor, like the rising sun." He was wearing undershirts, shorts and a big fan, and it was impossible to tell from his appearance that he was a famous doctor who is known as the holy hand of Chinese medicine. .

Now that the state's policy on private ownership has been fully liberalized, although buying things from supply and marketing cooperatives, shops, grain stores, non-staple food stores and other places still have to be purchased with tickets, there are also some small markets that are formed spontaneously and sell some of their own varieties. The dishes and chicken, duck, fish eggs, etc., although the price is slightly more expensive, but the good thing is that there is no need for tickets, and the things are fresher.

When Zhang Renze and Zhen Zhen carried the baskets to the small market, the bustling crowd gathered here, the sounds of hawking and bargaining intertwined, and the crowd was crowded, making this originally ordinary and quiet alley synonymous with liveliness.

Although Zhen Zhen also occasionally went to the supermarket to buy vegetables in her previous life, she has always grown her own vegetables in her life. After so many years, this is the first time to go to the market to buy vegetables, she can't help but feel very fresh.

On the other hand, Mr. Zhang was very familiar with the vegetable market here, and he brought Zhen Zhen to the depths of the alley. He was different from the outside, selling chickens and ducks raised by himself, as well as fish caught in the lake.

Mr. Zhang stopped in front of a chicken and duck vendor, picked up a chicken and pinched it left and right, and quickly picked the fattest one, another duck, and some vegetables. Only then took Zhen Zhen to go home.

Zhen Zhen got up early in the morning, she was running and practicing French, she was very hungry. As soon as she entered the door, she immediately put her purchases aside, and couldn't wait to ask Zhang Renze, "Sir, what do we have for breakfast?"

Mr. Zhang looked at Zhen Zhen with a smile: "I already made it, you go wash your hands first."

"Okay!" As soon as she heard something delicious, Zhen Zhen responded immediately, ran to the pool in the yard, turned on the tap, bent over to wash her face and hands, because she was anxious, she didn't even bother to wipe the towel , wipe it with your hand, and it will dry in a while.

At this time, Mr. Zhang had already moved a small table into the yard, and brought out a crock pot from the kitchen, Zhen Zhen's eyes lit up, she immediately leaned over, couldn't wait to lift the lid and asked, "Sir, are you What is this cooking?"

While speaking, a strong aroma of rice mixed with the coolness of lotus leaves spread as the lid was opened, Zhen Zhen took a deep breath, and looked down at the pale green rice porridge in the jar, covered with grains of rice porridge. Red wolfberry, just looking at this color combination makes people move.

Zhen Zhen took a deep breath, with a happy smile on her face, she sighed, "It's really fragrant!"

"This is lotus leaf wolfberry porridge, which is best for summer to cool off heat and dampness." Mr. Zhang handed Zhen Zhen a spoon: "Take the porridge out, and I'll serve the buns."

When Zhen Zhen heard the words, she immediately took the spoon from her husband, scooped up two bowls of porridge, put chopsticks on it, and looked at Mr. Zhang with a drawer of steamed buns on the table: "Poria buns."

"Tuckahoe buns?" Zhen Zhen stared at the buns for a long time: "How is this done?"

Mr. Zhang put a plate of scallion oil kohlrabi on the table, took a bun and took a bite, and then explained slowly: "To make this tuckahoe bun, you need to put water in a casserole, add tuckahoe, boil and fry it on low heat. After half an hour, when the Poria has boiled out the juice, then use the concoction to mix the noodles, so that the mixed noodles have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, and eating it is good for the body."

"So that's how it is!" Zhen Zhen suddenly realized that she couldn't wait to pick up a steamed bun and took a big bite, her eyes narrowed due to the delicious food.

This steamed bun is made with noodles that have been sifted only once, and the aroma is particularly strong. The bun filling is hand-chopped with fat and thin pork belly, and is prepared with onion, ginger, garlic and a little broth. The finished bun skin There is a lot of thin filling, and the broth in the filling flowed out as soon as the skin was bitten. Even taking a bite of the belt stuffing, the chewy dough is mixed with the fragrant meat stuffing, oily but not greasy, and the fragrant is almost swallowing the tongue.

Zhen Zhen ate a large one in one go, feeling that it was not enough, she couldn't wait to get the second one, she had no image to speak of. Zhang Renze didn't mind either, just looked at her with a smile, not forgetting to remind: "Drink some porridge first, don't choke."

Zhen Zhen nodded, scooped up a spoonful of lotus leaf wolfberry porridge and put it in her mouth. The taste of this porridge was different from what she had eaten before. Not only was the mouth smooth, but the fragrant lotus leaf also had a hint of sweetness. Taste, there should be rock sugar to taste!

Compared with Zhen Zhen's gobbling, Zhang Renze is much more restrained. He is already old, and he mainly eats health preservation. For breakfast, he only ate three buns and a bowl of porridge. Put the chopsticks away and stop eating.

So the rest of the delicious food was cheap for Zhen Zhen, she not only ate all the remaining seven steamed buns, but also drank a bowl of half a bowl of porridge, her stomach was full, and she was still a little unfulfilled.

Zhang Renze saw that she was burping after eating, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Zhen Zhen, you have eaten too much, just eat 70% full."

Zhen Zhen rubbed her stomach and thought for a moment, then asked Zhang Renze with a tangled face: "Sir, what does it feel like to be 70% full?"

Zhang Renze sat in front of the tea table next to him and slowly started to boil water to make tea, while he poured the water for washing the tea on the tea table, he smiled and looked at Zhen Zhen: "This is seventy percent full, even if you are not full. Not feeling hungry."

Not full or hungry? Zhen Zhen seriously recalled her feelings while eating, and suddenly felt that the answer given by her husband was too abstract, so she might as well not talk about it. She scratched her head and looked at Zhang Renze with some embarrassment: "Sir, I think I'm either hungry or full. If I'm not hungry or not, I'm sure I'm not full. That's not enough. Can't sleep."

It seemed that it was no use talking to her, Zhang Renze shook his head in shock: "Forget it, eat more if you like, anyway, young and strong, eating more is not a bad thing, come, go and eat this bowl. Brushed with the crock pot."

After eating her husband's breakfast, she always had to work hard, Zhen Zhen immediately went to wash the dishes and the crock pot, but sat quietly opposite Zhang Renze.

Zhang Renze was very satisfied with Zhen Zhen's performance, and after pouring her a cup of tea, he began to explain the basics of how to make a medicated diet to Zhen Zhen: "Although this medicated diet is food, the medicine and food are of the same origin and should not be made indiscriminately, otherwise not only will it not be able to provide the body with Nutrition will become the main culprit of inducing diseases." Speaking of which, he took a sip of tea and continued: "Sour enters the liver, bitter enters the heart, sweet enters the spleen, pungent enters the lung, and salty enters the kidney. It varies from person to person and from time to time, so you must understand the yin and yang and five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, the theory of zang-fu organs, and the medicinal properties and compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine, so that you can make a good medicated meal.”

Listening to Mr. Zhang's words, Zhen Zhen's little face wrinkled involuntarily, this Chinese medicine has a long and profound history, involving thousands of medicinal materials. .

Zhang Renze understood what she was thinking when he saw Zhen Zhen, he shook his head with a smile, got up and went back to the room, took out two books and handed them to Zhen Zhen: "I have two books here, the first one is the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine that I have sorted out. Knowledge and common medicinal materials, you can read more when you have nothing to do, and how much you can understand. And this thick book is the medicinal recipes I have compiled over the years. You can only memorize them by rote, write down all these commonly used ones, and they are enough for you.”

Zhen Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, she quickly opened the thick book that her husband gave, and saw that it was very carefully organized, and the medicated recipes were classified in detail according to their efficacy. Corresponding symptoms, we can see how much effort Mr. spent writing this book.

Zhang Renze was willing to give her his hard work, obviously he gave her all the money without reservation, Zhen Zhen couldn't help but be moved, holding the book and hurriedly said, "Thank you sir!"

Zhang Renze looked at her with a smile: "Thank you, you don't have to, don't come and learn from me if you have recipes, I didn't write down the processing methods of some ingredients and herbs in detail, and this hands-on teaching only knows, Don't be lazy this summer."

Zhen Zhen nodded again and again when she heard the words: "Mr. is willing to teach me painstakingly, I have designated to study hard, please rest assured sir!"

"That's good." Zhang Renze drank all the tea in the cup: "Now kill chickens and ducks with me."

"Okay!" Zhen Zhen followed behind him.

Zhang Renze was not only good at picking chickens and ducks, but also killing chickens very smoothly, Zhen Zhen squatted on the side and watched Zhang Renze kill chickens and shed their feathers swiftly. "Sir, you are really a good cook who has been delayed by the cause of Chinese medicine."

"What's this?" Zhang Renze was amused by her words, he glanced at her with a smile, and simply told her about the common sense of killing chickens: "You know, the chickens must be cleaned of blood, Just remove the chicken fat, otherwise the stewed soup will be very cloudy, which will not only look ugly, but also affect the taste."

"It turns out that there is still so much knowledge!" Zhen Zhen looked at the string of fatty chicken oil and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, since chicken oil will spoil the taste, what's the use of keeping this chicken oil? ?"

Zhang Renze took the slaughtered chicken and rinsed it under the tap, and said, "Don't look at this chicken oil for making soup, but the chicken oil can be eaten in pancakes. Huang Yangyang's is fragrant and crispy, not to mention how delicious it is."

Zhen Zhen listened to her husband's description, and her saliva suddenly flowed out. The chicken oil that she wanted to throw in the bag was also solemnly placed in the bowl and carried into the kitchen with both hands.

Zhang Renze is going to make two meat dishes today, one is the famous Yunnan dish Cordyceps steamed pot chicken, and the other is eight-treasure duck that nourishes the kidneys and solid teeth. Zhen Zhen listened to Mr. Zhang while he was cooking and introduced the main points of these two dishes. What's wrong: "Sir, these two dishes don't seem to be suitable for me?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Renze glanced at her: "It wasn't for you at all."

Seeing that chicken nuggets, bamboo fungus, and Xuanwei ham were all put into the steamer, he immediately pressed down on the Cordyceps: "Sir, this stuff is very expensive and hard to buy, or let's save some and don't put it away. "

Seeing Zhen Zhen's pitiful appearance, Zhang Renze snorted coldly, "You don't even call me Master, you just want to eat my stewed chicken, how can it taste so good."

Zhen Zhen looked at him with a black face: "You are too careful."

Zhang Renze immediately took out another piece of Cordyceps and prepared to put it in, Zhen Zhen hurriedly rushed over and held Zhang Renze's hand: "Master, Master, Master...don't put it!"

Zhang Renze's hand paused, and looked at Zhen Zhen very reservedly: "This is what you called on your own initiative, I didn't force you."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! You are always right." Zhen Zhen grabbed the small medicine bag in his hand and put it aside: "Master, what should I do next?"

When Zhang Renze heard this, Master suddenly felt very pleasant, and nodded contentedly: "For your sincerity, I will accept you and me as my apprentice."

"It's up to you!" Zhen Zhen looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Master, you are already happy to be an old child."

"It's not because Su Weiran has been yelling in front of us all day long that you are his apprentice, and that forgetfulness is your teacher. Even Xie Shu asked that kid to teach you French. I can't be too far behind." Zhang Renze was delighted. Said: "When you learn my medicated food skills in the future, I have to take you out to show off and envy them!"

"Okay, I have designated to study hard." Zhen Zhen patted her chest to make a promise, and then asked diligently, "Master, may I wash some other dishes?"

Zhang Renze and Zhen Zhen have been busy all morning, cooking two kinds of meat dishes and four kinds of vegetarian dishes, as well as a plate of crispy and fragrant chicken pancakes. Zhen Zhen filled a bowl of steam pot chicken with tender meat and clear soup, while blowing the heat, she couldn't wait to take a sip, the delicious taste lingered between her lips and tongue, annoyed Zhen Zhen patted her thigh: "The pheasants I ate before were all white. blind."

There were a lot of dishes at noon, so Zhang Renze didn't bring the duck, and when Zhen Zhen came home, Zhang Renze handed her the Eight Treasures Duck, which nourishes the kidneys and solid teeth: "Go back and bring your milk and your parents to eat, wait a minute. Come back tomorrow morning."

Zhen Zhen rubbed her bulging belly, and asked Zhang Renze worriedly, "Master, how many kilograms do you think I gained from studying this summer?"

Because Zhen Zhen's way of eating is really stimulating appetite, Zhang Renze also ate a little more than usual. Hearing Zhen Zhen's question, Zhang Renze was a little worried: "I think I might gain weight too!"

Zhang Renze came to Xie Yanan every ten days to check his pulse and change the prescription according to the symptoms. Xie Yanan knew Zhang Renze, the sage of Chinese medicine, so he regarded his words as an imperial edict. Some of the little common sense in life that she talked about, she also carried out meticulously like doing experiments at work.

After taking the medicine for a month, Xie Yanan clearly noticed the changes in his body. Not to mention, at least the original problem of soreness in the waist is gone, and the problem of cold hands and feet in autumn is gone. Mingxi also said that her feet were hot, unlike before, they were cold all year round.

When Xie Yanan was on vacation for a month or so, all the projects developed by Mingxi's project team were completed. Considering that these years, the researchers used the research institute as their home and worked overtime for many years. They were also afraid that they would be exhausted. Swipe, everyone takes three months off, let's take a good rest first.

After Mingxi had just graduated and left with the two PLA troops, it was the first time she had a vacation in these years. When she thought that Mingxi could stay at home for two more days, let alone Mrs. Li, Wang Sufen, and even Zhen Zhen All very happy.

In order to test Zhen Zhen's ability to make medicated meals, Zhang Renze specially came to Lao Li's house to help him take a pulse for Mingxi, and wrote the pulse case in a regular manner, allowing Zhen Zhen to think about a medicated meal by himself.

Mingxi is young and has been in the military academy for many years. He is in good health, but since he started working in scientific research, he has less opportunities to exercise, and he spends more time staying up late, which is somewhat hurting his qi and blood. Zhen Zhen chose a medicated meal that nourishes qi and nourishes blood. From the beginning of the purchase of ingredients to the later production, they were all done by one person. Zhang Renze just watched silently by the side, without a single word of advice, until the medicated meal was ready. Later, Zhang Renze explained one by one the problems that occurred when Zhen Zhen was making medicated meals. However, although Zhen Zhen made some mistakes, the recipe she chose was very symptomatic, so this herbal meal was still brought to Mingxi.

Mingxi looked at the casserole in surprise, and heard Zhen Zhen say that it was specially stewed for her body, tears filled her eyes instantly, while eating the soup, she chatted with Zhen Zhen: "Originally, your second sister-in-law thought that if this time If I can give birth to a daughter, I won't give her a name for food, and change it to a unique nickname, something like Xixi, Chuchu, etc." After drinking a bowl of soup, Mingxi filled another Erwan: "But now I think you are really kind to your brother, or my daughter's nickname will make you affordable." He ate a piece of stewed soft ribs and looked at Zhen Zhen expectantly. : "What do you think I can call if I have a daughter?"

Zhen Zhen looked at Mingxi with tears in her eyes, and deliberately teased him, "Why don't you call it bread."

Mingxi, who was drinking soup, suddenly lit up when he heard it: "Look, how is it? Heroes see the same thing. I think so too. Your second sister-in-law is not happy."

Xie Yanan looked up at Xie Yanan, and couldn't help complaining, "Are you talking about bread? You clearly said Daliba!"

Mingxi looked at Xie Yanan and said, "Da Lieba is not bread anymore? Da Lieba is so delicious, lean and hungry, how sincere!"

Zhen Zhen looked at the couple making fun of you and me, and was going to sneak away quietly so as not to get involved in the affairs between their husband and wife, but she just turned around when she heard Mingxi ask: "Zhen Zhen, Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Zhen Zhen turned around and gave him a thumbs up: "No problem, anyway, when my sister-in-law wants to kill you, we will never stop you."

Mingxi moved into the house, and before the family made out for two days, Mingbei and Zhen Zhen started school.

Originally, Zhen Zhen and Ming Bei, Wang Xinwen, took the bus back and forth between school and home, although Zhen Zhen felt that the wattage of her light bulb was a little brighter, but she was used to it.

But this time was different from the past. Xi Junjie asked her to take the bus back to school on the grounds of practicing spoken French on the tram. During the summer vacation, Wang Xinwen accidentally conceived another one. Therefore, her original plan to go back to school to read books and review homework in the library a few days earlier was disrupted. After discussing with Ming Bei, she decided to start the day before school. Go back, stay at home for two more, and take good care of yourself.

Zhen Zhen stayed at home for over a month, although she was busy talking every day, running, practicing English, and learning how to cook medicated meals, but apart from the systematic study, it still made Zhen Zhen a little unaccustomed. She and Xi Junjie returned to school a week early.

At this time, the students of the school had already come back, and as soon as Zhen Zhen entered the school gate, she ran into Guo Xiaoqiao. Guo Xiaoqiao happily ran over and grabbed Zhen Zhen's arm: "I was wondering if you would arrive at school earlier, otherwise I would be scared to sleep alone in the dormitory at night."

Zhen Zhen smiled and scratched her nose: "How old are you a girl, don't you sleep in your own room at home?"

"That's different." Guo Xiaoqiao smiled and took Zhen Zhen's hand: "I won't be able to sleep well without you."

Xi Junjie followed behind Zhen Zhen with a straight face, looking at the two girls who were sticking together in front of him, he couldn't help sighing: What are these two girls to hug, look at you, look at you, That girl's head was drooping onto Zhen Zhen's shoulder, what if it was crushed?

Xi Junjie's face turned dark when he saw the hands they held each other, and his delicate eyebrows were a little sharper than before because of his unhappiness. He looked a little less "beautiful" and a little more dignified than before. Feel.

Originally, I thought I could spend more time with Zhen Zhen after I went to school, and let her know more about herself. After graduation, the matter between the two of them would be a matter of course, but now it seems, why is it so hanging. Xi Junjie's eyes kept staring at the arms that the two held together, wishing to push Guo Xiaoqiao away so that he could take his place.

Xi Junjie followed behind Zhen Zhen, eagerly watching Zhen Zhen turn a corner and head towards the dormitory building of the Chinese Department, obviously forgetting himself.

Xi Junjie lowered his head gloomily, feeling that there was still a long way to go before him.

"Xi Junjie." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, Xi Junjie raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhen Zhen, the beam of joy that appeared on his face at that moment made the students beside him stunned.

Zhen Zhen was also in a trance for a while before she regained her senses, which was also due to the fact that after watching it for more than a month during the summer vacation, she was somewhat used to it. She let go of Guo Xiaoqiao's hand and walked in front of Xi Junjie, pulling him two steps to a place where no one was beside her: "I'm afraid you won't be able to eat dinner together today, I have to eat with Xiaoqiao. But tomorrow morning Let's continue running?" Seeing Xi Junjie nodding his head repeatedly, Zhen Zhen chuckled: "It's still 5:30 in the morning, we'll see you at the playground."
