  Knowing that the first group of guests will move in today, Ning Xin came to the small door of the sanatorium to wait early.

Standing with her was a girl named Qin Xiaoyan, one of the better waiters she recruited.

After two people waited at the door for a short while, they saw two old white-haired elderly people who were far away walking over while talking.

"Manager, is that our guest?" Qin Xiaoyan's nervous face flushed.

Ning Xin looked at the familiar figure and laughed.

She walked a few steps quickly to greet him: "Grandpa Shi, our first batch of guests are you two!"

"Why, no? Who else do you want to be?" Shi Qiran deliberately said to Ning Xin with a straight face.

If you ignore the smile that he couldn't help but bring out in his words, this face looks really a bit bluffing.

But Ning Xin was not afraid of him at all.

Although she didn't have many days of contact before, she had already grasped the old man's temperament clearly. This is a hard-faced old man.

His face has been in contact for a long time, and it is estimated that it can only be used to deceive himself.

"Oh, yesterday Uncle Shi asked his secretary to inform him that there were guests coming in today. I left without saying a word. I didn't have time to ask anything.

I also said, Uncle Shi is not such a person. He is so cautious, how can he just send someone who doesn't know anything about such a big thing? Together, this is your father and son teasing me! It made me not asleep most of the night last night."

Ning Xin laughed while talking, not forgetting to lead the two elderly people inside. His expression didn't look like a merchant, it looked like a junior in the family.

A few words made Shi Qiran feel comfortable.

It wasn't until Ning Xin had almost said that, he explained: "What kind of guest am I? I just came to join in the fun. Your uncle meant to let me stay with you, Grandpa Mu, for a few days and see how we prepared. That's it? It's better to find out in advance if there is a problem than to catch the blind after the official opening.

He said, I learned it from your herbal tea shop's trial operation. By the way, little girl, your herbal tea shop opened, why not please I, old man, go over and sit for a while?" At the

last sentence, he couldn't help but raise his voice again. I can see that the old man really cares about this.

"Hey, my shop is quite small, and it sells herbal tea and pastries, which are the same as the items in my previous herbal tea stall. Didn't I ask Uncle Shi to bring the tea bags back to you? Everything is the same. Some time ago It's so hot, and you're all sweaty when you don't go out. You are so old, why should I let you go for a special trip?"

Ning Xin said, turning around and looking at the old man next to her.

She bowed slightly to the old man, and then explained with a smile: "Grandpa Mu, I'm sorry that I didn't say hello right away. I neglected you. My name is Ning Xin, the manager of this store. Her name is Qin Xiaoyan, and it is in our store. The foreman. Welcome to our store. In the

future, if you have anything in the store, you can ask her directly. If she can't solve it, you can ask me. In short, live here, how do you feel comfortable, don't You're polite."

After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Shi Qiran again, and said with a smile: "Like Grandpa Shi, treat us as younger generations in your own house, just give orders."

The two elderly people who said in one sentence laughed loudly. Shi Qiran also stretched out his hand to make a few virtual taps on Ning Xin's forehead.

Mu Xiangrong and Shi Qiran are relatives, and they have been in friendship for decades.

Naturally, he could see that the girl had been dragged by the old guy to Barabara and talked endlessly since they met, and there was no time to spare at all.

How could you mind the trivial matter of not being able to say hello to yourself in the first place?

What's more, he also came here admiringly this time.

"I have long heard you Grandpa Shi said that he knew a kid with great ability, and then always wanted to see you. I didn't expect to wait so long." Mu Xiangrong looked at Ning Xin and exclaimed.

Speaking of which, Mu Xiangrong waited for a long time.

At the beginning, he received a phone call from his in-laws, saying that he should come to Xinnan and find someone to help him to take care of his body.

On the phone, Shi Qiran said that the most important thing is to praise the food cooked by the Ning family that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the ground. This made Mu Xiangrong, who had always been delicious, immediately moved.

He really didn't hesitate at all, and immediately took his wife and drove over by train from the neighboring market more than 100 kilometers away.

Whoever came up with it, he heard the son-in-law talk about the Ning family's closure and reconstruction as soon as he arrived here.

And I just waited for several months.

He had just fallen into a fall when he came, and now it's the end of autumn.

Ning Xin and Qin Xiaoyan led the two old people into the yard.

Because when the construction was carried out, the engineering team was told that the flowers and plants in the courtyard should not be moved anyway. Not only can it not move, but the exposed land must also be protected.

So when they built the building, they hung cloth for shelter, so that although the surrounding area has been under construction, the flowers and plants in the yard are still growing lush.

Not only that, the newly opened land, because it is not yet the planting season, it is not yet possible to grow medicinal materials as Dr. Wang suggested.

As a result, Ning Xin temporarily put a lot of large wooden boxes made by carpenters with scraps, neatly arranged in the open space, and planted with various seasonings for cooking.

Such as coriander, shallots, garlic sprouts, etc., all of them have grown up now.

It looks alive.

Seeing such a scene, the two old men showed joyful expressions.

They have all come from hard times, and have little interest in the flowers, plants, and rockery. And these things that are rich in life breath make them feel of belonging even more.

Looks strangely comfortable.

After all, it was a new house. Even though it had been aired for some time, Ning Xin was still afraid of the tide in the house, so she took the two elderly people up to the second floor.

The two were not picky, so they chose the one closest to the stairs and settled in the standard room with easy access.

As usual, when the elderly calmed down, Ning Xin helped them get their pulses one by one.

Shi Qiran's body Ning Xin is well known. Although she hadn't met the old man since leaving that time, she had always asked Shi Zhengyi to bring home the tea bags she had prepared.

She knew that as long as Shi Qiran took medicine on time and insisted on drinking tea, her body wouldn't at least not go in a bad direction despite her recovery.

Sure enough, after passing the pulse, she was satisfied with Grandpa Chao Shi's thumbs up.

"Grandpa, persistence is good, praise it."

Shi Qiran smiled and glared at her again.

And Mu Xiangrong's body has no major problems, only a slight high blood pressure.

And it can be seen that he usually pays much attention to his body, speaking of his illness, and he has a clear understanding of his illness.

Shi Qiran and Shi Qiran, who even had drugs stared at him, were completely two extremes.

After seeing the situation of the two people, Ning Xin stayed with Qin Xiaoyan to help them make their beds, took them to familiarize themselves with the environment, and went to the kitchen to make suitable tea for them.

Mu Xiangrong made chrysanthemum and hawthorn tea, which has the effect of softening blood vessels and lowering blood pressure.

Shi Qiran made Hawthorn Ophiopogon tea.

Although hawthorn is also used, the effect of this tea is more focused on removing blood stasis, which is good for the heart.

Because before the two old people came, Ning Xin didn't know who the guest was today.

In addition, this was the first time that the nursing home received guests, and she didn't know anything about it, so she couldn't prepare lunch meals in advance.

At this moment, after serving the tea and greeted the two elderly people again, Ning Xin hurried out of the house and rushed to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

It's actually a bit late to go out now, and some of the more expensive dishes are already sold out. Ning Xin turned around and bought an Anhui fish, a handful of celery, and two lettuce.

But her luck was not bad. When she was about to leave the vegetable market, she saw someone selling freshly picked fresh white fungus, so she immediately stepped forward and bought some.

Now that the sanatorium has been built, it is natural that the food cannot be as casual as before at home.

It's even more impossible to make a table of dishes and everyone sits together to eat.

Of course, everyone's meals must be fried separately.

Today, the main dishes she arranged for the two elders are fish, but Shi Qiran's is Guiqi steamed fish cubes, and Mu Xiangrong's is Shuanghua fried fish fillets.

Both dishes are not difficult, all belong to the fast hand dishes.

The Guiqi steamed fish cubes are made with angelica, sliced ​​astragalus, steamed together with fresh fish cubes in a steamer, and seasoned after being out of the pot.

It is simple to make, and the food is fresh and delicious.

The main effect of this dish is to nourish qi and blood and nourish the essence.

Shuanghua fried fish fillet is also based on Anhui fish, but it uses fish fillets from the fish.

Heat the oil pan, add peanut oil, heat the pan with cold oil and put the fish fillets into the pan. After the heat is smooth, remove the oil and drain.

Then heat the bottom oil in the pot, add the green onion and ginger until fragrant, then add the honeysuckle torn into petals, the soaked black fungus and the lettuce cut into small pieces.

Fry them together and put them in the fish fillets again, quickly hook a proper amount of thin gorgon and put on a plate, and finally sprinkle golden chrysanthemum petals on top to make it.

Although this dish is simple, the honeysuckle and chrysanthemum are freshly picked from the flower garden at home, and the fragrance is fragrant.

With the scent of fish slides, the two old men had already come down from the upper floor before the dishes were cooked, and walked under the grape rack to wait.

Fearing that the two elderly people were waiting in a hurry, Ning Xin fried a piece of celery as fast as possible, then put it on the tray with steamed two rice, and brought it out for them in person.

"Grandpa Shi, Grandpa Mu, are you eating in the yard or in your room today?" The

medicinal food room has prepared a special room for the guests of the sanatorium, but it has not opened yet, so the meals have to be temporarily in their respective rooms. Solved in the room.

"Just eat here." The old man Shi pointed to the stone tables and chairs placed under the grape trellis and made a decision.

Ning Xin brought up one end of the two dinner plates, and saw that the dishes inside were different, so Old Man Shi quit.

"Why is his dish so good? I want to eat this!" He pointed to the double flower fish fillet on the plate of Mr. Mu Xiangrong.

"This must be a different recipe based on our physical differences! You have to fight for this too? Lao Shi, are you going back the more you live, right?"

Mu Xiangrong has never seen such a childish side in his family. , He is almost amused.

Ning Xin knows that when people are older, sometimes they don't have so much scruples, and are more willing to truthfully express their likes and dislikes.

That's why there are old and young children talking about it.

So she patiently talked to the two old men about the effects of their meals.

Seeing that Old Man Shi was still staring at the plate of fish fillets, she said empathetically: "In fact, although the medicated diet has a word for medicine, it is still a meal after all. The medicinal properties mainly play a supplementary role. It's the same. So, as long as it's not a symptom

of sympathy, it's okay to eat the medicated food together." Her voice has not yet fallen, and Master Shi has reached into Mu Xiangrong's dinner plate with a chopstick, and put a fish fillet into it. Mouth.

"It's delicious! My family, come, let's eat together." He said, pushing his plate in the middle.

Mu Xiangrong smiled, shook his head and didn't know what he muttered, Shi Qiran's eyes suddenly rounded.

Two elderly people over a hundred years old together started a lawsuit.

Ning Xin knew that they had a good relationship and that there was nothing that would make him angry because of a quarrel. After watching for a while, she quietly returned to the kitchen.

While the two elderly people were eating, she peeled a few Sydney pears stored at home, washed the fresh white fungus that she bought, tore small pieces, and simmered them in an enamel pot with Sydney.

Stewed snow pear with white fungus to clear the lungs and moisturize the throat. It is also very good for the body to eat a bowl after the elderly take a nap.

Watching the white fungus gum up and gradually thickened, Ning Xin called Qin Xiaoyan in and confessed, then greeted the two elderly people and went back to the backyard.

Just before leaving, she went to a corner of the flower garden again, picked a few leaves from the mint, jasmine, and perilla and peppercorn trees that she had marked in advance, and took them back together.

Back at home, Ning Xin wiped off the dust of these few leaves, wrapped them in a paper box, a sealed porcelain jar, and a self-made sealed bag with rain cloth.

After that, she skillfully wrote the date on it and put it in a small cabinet by the window in her bedroom.

In that cabinet, there are already many flowers and plants marked with different dates in different containers like this. Almost the entire floor is filled.

This is an experiment that Ning Xin has been doing continuously for more than a month. I want to test how long the active ingredients of these plants can be kept under different conditions.

Speaking of which, she was helpless to do so.

When Ning Xin proposed to Hu Yunping to hand over the medicinal food room to the country, to be honest, he didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until Shi Zhengyi told her that the government decided to fund her to help her build a medicinal food room and to expropriate her family's yard to build a sanatorium.

Because she found that she had overlooked a big problem, and that was that the original remarks were likely to be self-defeating and locked herself and the yard.

And this was something Ning Xin didn't want to face.

She has to go to college, go to the capital, and take a good look at the world!

Therefore, during the day, Ning Xin has been busy during the day, but at night Ning Xin has been thinking about the solution to this problem.

After thinking about it, she felt that the only way to solve this problem would ultimately fall on Lingquan.

These days, Ning Xin has planted a lot of flowers.

At the same time, she also picked out some of the existing exuberant jasmine and mint in the family and re-divided them into pots.

Then she numbered all these flowers and plants, and watered the spring water diluted in different proportions into the pots according to the number according to the date.

After this period of experimentation, Ning Xin felt that she had mastered the proportion of irrigation.

How to make these flowers and plants remain active for more than seven days without the ability to go against the sky.

It's just that she doesn't have professional equipment after all, and the current judgment is only based on the withered leaves.

Because these plants will gradually wither when they have no active substances.

When those substances still exist, they can still keep their leaves green even if they are placed in a sealed, harsh environment.

But in any case, this result is a conclusion drawn by oneself after naked eye observation, and the data is definitely inaccurate. It remains to be seen how the situation is.

Fortunately, Ning Xin was not too anxious.

From the day she decided to open the medicated food room, she set a time limit for herself.

That is, it will take a year to go all out to do business at home.

Then at this time next year, I will go back to school again, and then go to college.

It's only September now, and Ning Xin won't celebrate her 18th birthday until November.

Even if he missed this year, he was only nineteen when he was admitted to the university.

Ning Xin felt that she was delayed.

So when Zhuang Wenxia asked her about her further plans, Ning Xin said with a vow that she would study hard and then go to the capital.

But at that time, the medicinal food room in her mind was the two houses at home. In any case, she did not expect that it would expand to this level.

Compared with figuring out the proportion of Lingquan, prolonging the vitality of the land, so that she will not be trapped in this house in the future, and will never be able to do without—

Ning Xin feels that what she should worry most now is how she can be in less than a year During the period of time, I managed to manage both the medicated food room and the sanatorium, and then cultivated people who could take over.

Otherwise, she won't be able to leave without being forced by others.

While Ning Xin was still worrying about the future, Xiao An's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Sister Xiao Xin, I am coming! Look what I brought? My brother bought the roast chicken!"

Not waiting for Ning. Xin had time to close the cabinet door and walked out of the bedroom, Xiao An had already rushed into the yard.

Looking at the increasingly cheerful little girl, Ning Xin's face couldn't hide a smile.

She reached out and touched Xiao An's head, and then said, "What else are you asking me to guess, don't you just say it yourself?"

"Sister, you smell it, it smells delicious! My brother rode to the city to buy it. In addition to roasting chicken, he also bought dried stew, they were all very delicious!"

Seeing her like this, Ning Xin also became naughty. meaning.

Reached out and poked her in the cheek, and asked, "Have you tasted it secretly?"

Xiao An was startled for a while, then his face flushed.

She squeezed the oil-paper bag she was holding into Ning Xin's arms, and then explained in a low voice: "I just tasted it for a while, it's only a small piece."

Ning Xin couldn't bear to see her twisted look. Live, laughed haha.

Xu Shaonian came in and saw this scene.

He stopped and asked aloud, "What are you laughing at?" As

he spoke, the corners of his own lips couldn't help but raised slightly.

"It's nothing, Xiao An is showing off that the roast chicken you bought is delicious."

Ning Xin blinked at Xiao An where Xu Shaonian couldn't see, and Xiao An's face turned red.

Xu Shaonian didn't notice their eyebrow lawsuit, but walked over and put a large brown paper bag on the wooden table in the yard.

"When I entered the alley just now, I met the postman. He asked me to bring this package to you by the way. I signed the package for you."

"Ah, it's what Aunt Zhuang sent me." Ning Xin said excitedly without even looking at the package.

Shi Zhengyi told her when he came a few days ago that Minister Hu called and said that his wife had sent her a package and asked her to pay attention to it.

Ning Xin also specifically found the postman who delivered the letter to this piece, and asked him to help bring it if he saw his parcel.

"Is it a book, so heavy?" Xu Shaonian moved his strangled finger and asked curiously.

"Yes, it's a book. Aunt Zhuang sent me some review materials. She knew that I didn't have time to repeat this year, so she said to send me some materials so that I could read it first. Don't wait until next year when I go back to school. I have forgotten everything."

Ning Xin said, taking the roast chicken and dried bitter back to the kitchen, and at the same time took out a pair of scissors.

Open the package, and sure enough, there is a pile of learning materials inside.

In addition to textbooks and teaching assistants for each subject, Zhuang Wenxia also sent a thick stack of test questions for each subject to Ning Xin.

It can be seen that it took a lot of thought.

Ning Xin read the book by book, grateful to Aunt Zhuang in her heart.

Seeing her like this, neither of the siblings disturbed her.

Xiao An was very winking and went into the kitchen, and brought out the three silks that Ning Xin had mixed in advance, and the tuckahoe cakes that had been baked early, and put them in the living room.

Then he went back and put the roasted chicken he had brought on a plate, and served the rice to the three people.

At this time, Ning Xin finally raised her head from the information.

She looked at the man standing next to her and flipping through a book, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, Xu Shaonian, I haven't had time to ask you, what are your plans next?"

"What are your plans?" Xu Shaonian raised his head and looked at her with a hint of puzzlement. Obviously did not understand the meaning of her words.

"Is your family going back to the capital in the future? Then Xiaoan is going to transfer halfway? What about you, what are you going to do next?"

Ning Xin didn't believe Xu Shaonian would work in the grain store all his life.

And it is impossible for him to keep doing that food business.

If I remember correctly, Ning Xin remembers that Xu Shaonian is only 22 years old this year. I don't know if he has any further plans to take the exam?

If they want to take the exam, is it possible for them to become classmates in the future?

Ning Xin felt that if it was true, it would actually be good.

Anyway, it can be regarded as a partner who fought together.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry, it's a few minutes late.
