Lucky Chef

Chapter 43
Zhang Langzhong's home is at the east end of the village, in the courtyard of the second entrance, with several bright and large tile-roofed houses.

Although Luojia Village is not considered poor, there are not many decent houses like this. At least in the village, apart from the village head's family, only Zhang Langzhong's family has such a decent house.

Although Luo Jin's house is also second-rate, it is a bit dilapidated due to disrepair for a long time, and it doesn't look so decent.

The outer courtyard was surrounded by a one-meter wall made of mud. Luo Jin stood at the gate and yelled a few times. The big black dog in the yard barked until Langzhong Zhang came out and scolded the dog. It just entered the nest obediently.

"Luo Jin is here, what's wrong with your mother?"

Zhang Langzhong's expression was very flat, probably still brooding over Luo Jin's previous disobedience to Luo Sanniang.

Luo Jin doesn't care about Zhang Langzhong's indifference. After all, he did a lot of shitty things in his predecessor, throwing people's medicine boxes, smashing people's medicinal materials, and pointing at people's noses and scolding quack doctors. Now that they didn't drive her out, it was already self-cultivation ok.

"No." The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling face, Luo Jin smiled, "Mother is fine, it's just that the medicine is finished, I'm here to get her medicine."

"Oh?" Zhang Langzhong glanced at Luo Jin, and snorted coldly, "Now you know how to be filial? If you were able to be like this before, your mother's body would not be so bad."

Zhang Langzhong led Luo Jin into the yard while talking.

Luo Jin followed behind, smiling cautiously, "Mr. Zhang, you are right. I was unfilial in the past, but I already know that I was wrong. From now on, I will definitely take good care of my mother."

"That's more or less."

"Langzhong, I also want to... buy some medicinal materials for treating rheumatism from you."

"Hmph... your mother doesn't have rheumatism, why did you buy that?" Lang Zhong paused, very bluntly, "If you have that money, buy more food and drink for your mother, take good care of her, no matter how much Save some and go to the city to grab some good tonics, maybe your mother can live another year or two."

Being reprimanded for no reason will always be a little bit unwilling. If the old man is evil, Luo Jin would be a little cold-hearted, but in the impression that the old man has always been upright and has a good heart. Those who really have no money to see a doctor will usually help out a little, so they are not quack doctors.

It's funny to say that the former master smashed his family's medicinal materials just because he was too fat and wanted him to prescribe some weight loss medicine.

The medicine is probably a medicine for regulating the fire, and it is extremely bitter to put Coptis chinensis and so on.The former owner found it bitter, and drank it for two or three days but it didn't work, so he came to make trouble.

Throwing his medicine box, pointing at his nose and scolding him as a quack doctor, the doctor prescribes another medicine in a fit of anger, this time probably some laxatives, which made the previous master wait for a day and a night...

So, the former owner came over and smashed his medicinal materials.

Thinking about this little old man, he looks honest, but he also has a bit of a temper.

When Luo Jin thought of this, an idea crossed his mind, but he explained it with a smile on his face.

"There is a folk recipe for brewing medicinal wine at home. I thought it would be all right, so I tried it out to see if the brewing was successful. If it is brewed, it will really have a certain curative effect on rheumatism patients, and I can exchange more money. It can make my mother's life more comfortable."

Physicians are naturally interested in researching medicine, Zhang Langzhong asked with great interest, "What kinds of medicinal materials are there, tell me, and I will check for you."

"Well, there are Duhuo, Qianghuo, Papaya, Wushao Snake, Sea Breeze Vine, Qingfeng Vine, Earth Dragon..."

"Well, it's true that they are all medicinal materials for treating rheumatism." Although Luo Jin didn't believe that he could really brew medicinal wine, he still nodded and entered the room with his hands behind his back.

Luo Jin stood in the courtyard, breathed a sigh of relief, and followed into the house.

In the room, Zhang Langzhong's wife was sitting on a stool in the main room, and Luo Jin greeted her politely. The lady looked at her with a sneer at the corner of her mouth. Take up the soles.

Luo Jin is not the kind of person who puts a hot face on a cold ass, and she won't rush to curry favor if people don't want to see her, so she just stands quietly and waits.

After a while, Langzhong Zhang came out from the back room, holding two bunches of wrapped medicinal materials in his hand.

"Hey, this bunch is for your mother, it's for invigorating energy and conditioning." Pointing to another bunch, he said, "This is the medicine for treating rheumatism. After I get home, I will follow the prescription to get the dose right, otherwise The effect will be greatly reduced."

"Well, thank you Doctor Zhang." Luo Jin took the two strings of medicines and said seriously, "Doctor, I still want to lose weight, please prescribe me another dose of the medicine prescribed for me last time."

Zhang Langzhong seemed to have seen a ghost, blowing his beard and staring, "What are you trying to mess around with?" It's not the medicine for weight loss, it was just a moment of anger, and taught the ignorant wild girl who threw other medicine at that time.

"I'm not fooling around, and you know that I...that one is already engaged. If this one is too fat, I might be disgusted by my husband in the future."

Luo Jin spoke pitifully, and Zhang Langzhong stayed silent.

"I promise that this time, even if I die, I won't come to trouble you."

Zhang Langzhong sighed deeply, "Ah, my injustice!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head and walked towards the back room.

Luo Jin's eyes were sly, and he shouted from behind, "It must be exactly the same as last time."

Zhang Langzhong's footsteps were suddenly unstable, and he almost fell.

After a while, he took the medicine and said with a dull face, "The medicine is all here."

"After you go back, cook it and drink it. If you can't stand it, don't drink it. You don't need to take medicine. Stop taking medicine and rest for a day or two, and it will naturally subside."

Luo Jin stretched out his hand to take the medicine, Zhang Lang shrank back, gnashing his teeth a little bit, "It's agreed, this time you want it yourself, you can't come here to mess around again."

Luo Jin stretched out his hand and took the initiative to pull the bunch of medicine bags, and immediately smiled, "Understood, I will definitely not come to trouble you."

After paying the money, with a strange light in his eyes, he patted the bag of laxatives for weight loss, turned around happily and left.

As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, the doctor Zhang chased him out.

Luo Jin thought he regretted prescribing the laxative, turned around, hid the medicine behind his body, and chuckled, "Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

"Luo Jin..." Langzhong Zhang was about to speak when he heard his mother-in-law cough loudly in the room.

Zhang Langzhong changed his words when he came to the mouth, "Luo Jin, your mother's illness is caused by long-term fatigue and worrying, as long as you don't make her angry like before and make her tired, use some Good medicine, take care of it slowly, and if it lasts for another two or three years, it should still be fine..."

He called himself uncle, Luo Jin also changed his words naturally, "Well, Uncle Zhang, I understand, if there is nothing else, I will go first."

Hearing Luo Jin call him uncle, Zhang Langzhong felt a little ashamed, and followed him a step further.

"Luo Jin, wait..."

"What else is there?"

In the room, Mrs. Zhang's mother-in-law coughed again.

The doctor Zhang hesitated to speak.
