The weather outside is indeed good. It is also a mountainous area. Because the peaks are denser and the vegetation is richer, the air is more humid and fresher than in Haogou. Especially when the sun shines down and the water vapor evaporates, the entire mountain seems to be covered with colorful colors.
Neon is very beautiful.
"I'm not going, I'll stay and make lunch."
Hearing Zhu Tianlei's words, Zhang Xuejiao's face was stunned for a moment, but only for a short moment, and then returned to normal.
But what Zhu Tianlei is best at is capturing these details. Of course, this short moment of confusion cannot escape Zhu Tianlei's eyes.
"You go ahead, I'll cook you some of my specialty dishes for lunch."
With a smile on her face, Zhang Xuejiao turned around and entered the room after speaking.
"Master, what's going on with Sister Xuejiao? I heard A Gang call her Madam before."
Since Zhang Xuejiao refused to go, Zhu Tianlei couldn't force him, so he followed Zhang Guochun and walked back up the mountain one behind the other.
"It's a long story. I'm sorry for Xue Jiao, alas!"
Zhang Guochun sighed, his tone full of guilt and melancholy, but he did not continue the topic. After all, it was a private matter, and Zhu Tianlei did not ask any further questions.
However, Zhang Guochun's mouth was not idle. Along the way, he kept explaining to Zhu Tianlei what he saw. Zhu Tianlei slowly realized that it turned out that this entire mountain, or this part of the mountain, belonged to the Zhang family.
.
The seemingly inconspicuous flowers and plants on the mountain are all artificially cultivated. It can be said that this mountain is full of treasures everywhere.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Zhang Guochun stopped.
"Tian Lei, we're here."
Zhu Tianlei looked around and saw that the originally undulating mountain peaks suddenly became flat, and the flat ground was all green.
"Are these artificially grown?"
Zhu Tianlei squatted down, picked up a plantain tree, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was a light astringency and a vague aroma.
"Yes, the quality of truly wild wild vegetables and medicinal materials cannot be guaranteed. If we completely rely on nature and artificial picking, it will be too difficult for traditional Chinese medicine to develop and grow."
"You are the only one who breeds these?"
This is what Zhu Tianlei is most curious about.
After all, the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine is not something too new, but the cultivation environment is not as pure and natural as what you see in front of you.
"I'm not a fussy person. Do you know what the Zhang family's biggest expense is in a year?"
Zhu Tianlei shook his head.
This Zhang family is so mysterious that it is impossible to guess or speculate based on normal logic.
"It's the salary of a pharmaceutical farmer."
"Medicine farmer?"
"Yes, the Zhang family employs more than 700 pesticide farmers, and these farmers have all received professional training."
Zhu Tianlei couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"There's no rush to do this. Soon you will be exposed to them one by one. What I want to tell you now is the most important. You should listen carefully."
Zhang Guochun looked at Zhu Tianlei and said seriously.
"The secret medical skills of the Zhang family are divided into two parts. One part is seeds. You should be able to understand this as soon as you hear it. Plants are the technology of growing Chinese herbal medicine. The second part is insects..."
"Insect? Gu insect?"
Zhu Tianlei raised his eyebrows.
He has a very bad impression of Gu bugs. Anyway, where there are Gu bugs, nothing good will happen.
"Haha, look at your eyes, whoever said a bug must be a Gu bug."
"what is that?"
In Zhu Tianlei's knowledge, he really doesn't know what else there is other than Gu insects.
"Medical bug."
What?
Zhu Tianlei's eyes widened, there are still medical bugs?
"When we were in Shangchuan, weren't you very curious about what I used on you? That's it."
After Zhang Guochun finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his clothes.
A white handkerchief looks ordinary in terms of workmanship, but in the sunlight, its gloss is very good, and you can faintly see a soft halo on it.
Following Zhang Guochun's movements, the handkerchief was opened, and inside was a white, fat, silkworm-like worm, the size of an index finger.
"Is this the medical bug?"
The world is full of wonders, and even Zhu Tianlei, who has inherited the magic of spiritual medicine, doesn't know that there are such strange things in this world.
"Yes, it also has another name, called Snow Silkworm."
"Is this Snow Silkworm?"
Snow silkworm is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, mainly used to relieve internal heat and thirst, but this was the first time Zhu Tianlei saw this thing with his own eyes.
"This snow silkworm is no ordinary snow silkworm. It is dozens of years older than me."
After Zhang Guochun finished speaking, he lightly touched Snow Silkworm's body with his fingers. Snow Silkworm's body, as white as spring snow, squirmed a little, and the halo around her body became stronger.
"Did you use it to charm me last time?"
Zhu Tianlei looked at the plump snow silkworm on the handkerchief and asked.
"Would you like to try again?"
Zhang Guochun looked as naughty as a child when he saw Zhu Tianlei stretching his neck.
"Let's forget it, right? But I always feel that this thing is unreliable in treating diseases."
Zhu Tianlei curled his lips and told the truth.
"Many things in this world cannot be explained by science. From today on, I will start to pass on Zhang's two exclusive secret techniques to you. Are you ready?"
Zhang Guochun was a little impatient.
After all, he had been searching for fifteen years.
I always thought that I might not have this opportunity before I died.
Now that God has opened his eyes and sent Zhu Tianlei to him, why shouldn't he seize the time and opportunity?
"Master, I think I need to slow down my study of medical skills."
Zhu Tianlei said while looking at the patches of wild vegetables and medicinal materials in front of him.
"Slow down? Why?"
"Master, don't get excited. I don't want to go back on my word. The most important thing is that I have a few things that I haven't finished recently. It's inevitable that I won't be able to concentrate when I have something on my mind, so I want to wait until I finish handling these things.
, then concentrate on learning from Master."
Zhu Tianlei made a rough draft in his mind.
Just kidding, he's not mentally prepared yet!
This Zhang family is really weird. He still needs time to digest it. It won't be too late to digest it.
"Is what you kid said true?"
"Really, I have already accepted you as my master, how can I still run away? Besides, I can run away but a monk can't run away from the temple. What are you worried about?"
Zhang Guochun thought about it and realized that it made sense. He was too impatient.
Anyway, he has been waiting for fifteen years, and he can't afford to wait for another ten days and a half.
The master and the apprentice just walked around the mountain carefully, and when they came down the mountain, it was time for lunch.
"Dad, Tianlei, wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
As soon as Zhu Tianlei entered the door, he saw Zhang Xuejiao standing at the door.
Although she still wore the same clothes as before, her silver hair was tied up into a bun the size of a fist. There were only two loose strands of hair hanging down the side of her face, making her look a little softer.
**On top of the long skirt, she wore a floral apron. The apron was slim-fitting, which not only did not cover up Zhang Xuejiao's beautiful figure, but also made it more charming.
I don’t know why, but some kind of inappropriate scenes appeared in Zhu Tianlei’s mind. (To be continued)
