Chapter 0002 Four is the Gang

The business of Doctor Hua’s “Da Huichuntang” has always been so good that it is outrageous, from morning to night, there are few free time. However, Doctor Hua has a strong rule, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, and it has been unstoppable for decades. If it comes after night, even if the Heavenly King comes, he will stay closed.

However, the God of Hua's eyes were like lightning. Many patients did not need to look, listen, ask and touch. They just glanced at each other, prescribed the prescription, and handed it over to the medicine child to get the medicine, and then started the next one. Therefore, in one hour, you can see a hundred people quickly, and at a slow rate, you can reach fifty or sixty people. Yi Gangyu witnessed it with his own eyes several times, and admired his magical medical skills and envied him.

Yi Gangyu knew very well that Dr. Hua must be cooking wine and reciting poems in the backyard at this moment, so he walked into the "Da Huichun Hall" and patted the fish basket at a medicine boy at the counter. The medicine boy understood it. He reached out to the backyard and nodded.

Yi Gangyu smiled and entered the inner courtyard from the side door. He greeted several boys who were picking medicine and boiling medicine nodded. The older medicine boy walked over and whispered: "The miracle doctor is reciting poems, don't make noise."

Yi Gangyu blinked repeatedly, walked into the backyard with a soft hand and a scent of wine from his daughter came to his face.

Under a huge mulberry tree in the backyard, there was a rattan lounge chair. A black-haired old man crossed his legs, held a red mud wine pot in his right hand, and a red mud wine glass in his left hand, squinted his eyes and muttered something in his mouth.

Yi Gangyu didn't dare to disturb him and stood quietly on the side.

After about a stick of incense, the old black-haired man slowly put down the wine pot and said, "Xiaogang is coming at the right time."

Yi Gangyu quickly took off the fish basket, put it gently on the ground, bowed and said, "I have met Doctor Hua."

"Come and sit down and drink for me." Dr. Hua Shen said, "I just meditated and got a masterpiece. I feel that my artistic conception is very good. Do you want to listen carefully?"

Yi Gangyu quickly walked over, sat on the wooden bench opposite, picked up the small palm fan, slapped the fire, and said, "Even Mr. Helian praised the masterpiece of the miracle doctor after hearing this, and said that this poem should only be found in the sky."

"Well... have you read my poem to the vulgar vegetable farmer?"

Yi Gangyu nodded and said, "Last month, he helped Mr. Helian dig up the vegetable field. On a whim, he whispered in the vegetable garden. Unexpectedly, Mr. Helian heard it. It was strange. At that time, I was at least ten feet away from him, so could he still hear it?"

Doctor Hua narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Next time, remember to recite it silently in his heart. It was really ruined by the vegetable farmer."

"I'll remember it."

"There are many small yellow croakers in the stream in the backyard. I asked the medicine boys to put fish baskets. You go and see, will you gain something?" Dr. Hua Shen said, "Xiao Gang, although you are so poor that you can't be poor anymore, you have several advantages. This cooking is the same."

Yi Gangyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise from the miracle doctor, I will come when I go."

After about a cup of tea, Yi Gangyu carried the fish basket back to the backyard and said, "The miraculous doctor has caught seven small yellow croakers and has been washed clean with the stream water. I will cook fish soup for you now."

Doctor Hua nodded gently and said, "It's a pity that April has passed, otherwise the mulberry tree will be covered with purple and black mulberry fruits. Whether it is raw or cooked with fish soup, it will be a great choice for pairing with thirty-year-old daughter Hong."

While cooking fish with fire, Yi Gangyu said gratefully: "Thanks to the magic doctor's recipe, since taking the mulberry wine you prepared for me, his hair and beard gradually turned black. In just a few months, no white hair will grow early. The great kindness of the miracle doctor, Xiao Gang is unforgettable."

Doctor Hua glanced at Yi Gangyu who was busy, shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "Xiao Gang, I will recite a poem for you."

Yi Gangyu quickly sat upright and listened with scrutiny.

Doctor Hua gently stroked a small troubling of goat beards on his chin, looked up at the mulberry tree, and after brewing for a moment, he thought leisurely: "Mulberry trees are tall and big, and mulberry fruits are hung every April. Don't eat green and red fruits, purple and black are the real food. The mulberry fruit tastes really good, but in June, I have a headache. Do you want to ask me why? The tree is full of caterpillars. Well... worm feces are one after another, spreading the table and falling all over the ground. I was so scared that I ran away quickly and jumped into the stream to rub a bath."

After listening to a long poem, Yi Gangyu quickly clamped his legs.

Doctor Hua opened his eyes, looked gloomy, and asked, "Xiao Gang, do you think this poem is a masterpiece?"

After a moment of intoxication, Doctor Hua continued to ask: "What is the artistic conception?"

Yi Gangyu quickly looked down at the ripe yellow croaker in the stone pot, hesitated for a moment before looking up and said, "This poem by the miracle doctor... is the same as the fish in the stone pot."

Doctor Hua's eyes lit up and he said happily: "But it is extremely delicious, and it is indescribable?"

Yi Gangyu had no choice but to take a deep breath and said, "It's so bad."

Doctor Hua was stunned and immediately raised an old face, stared at Yi Gangyu who was at a loss, then suddenly stroking his palm and laughed, saying, "A true and sincere person, Xiao Gang, this is your second advantage, I am very pleased."

Yi Gangyu secretly wiped his sweat and was also confused. How did Doctor Hua make the masterpiece last month?

"Miscellaneous Doctor, the fish soup has been boiled. Do you want to eat it now?"

"Come here quickly!"

Yi Gangyu carried the stone pot and placed it on an old Eight Immortals table. He ran into a wing room in the backyard with a familiarity. He brought a pair of bamboo bowls and chopsticks and a wooden spoon. After the arrangement was neatly arranged, he respectfully said: "My doctor, please use it slowly."

After sitting down, Doctor Hua couldn't wait to pick up the wooden spoon, scooped a bowl of milky white fish soup, blew it a few sips, and drank it all in one drink. After squinting for a moment, he smashed his mouth, slapped the table, and said happily: "It's this umami flavor."

Yi Gangyu smiled and said, "It's good if the miracle doctor likes it. When do you want to drink fish soup, just need the medicine boy to come and tell me."

Doctor Hua nodded and said, "Believe in words is your third advantage. Your fourth advantage is your best. Apart from that, there is nothing left. The figure is as thin as a bamboo pole. Look at your two legs, I am really worried that you will break it one day, but you have to roll up your trouser pipe. Who are you trying to scare? It's ordinary, and you can't see any energy in your entire body. No wonder no girl in a family likes you, you want others to dare to do it!"

Yi Gangyu smiled honestly, touched his nose, and said optimistically: "You might be a girl with bad eyes."

Doctor Hua said annoyedly: "You dream!"

Yi Gangyu said honestly: "I dreamed of Miss Yiyi last night and laughed at me, and the flowers looked as beautiful as the flowers."

Doctor Hua almost sprayed out a mouthful of fish soup, swallowed it quickly and glared at it, "Fu Zhenjun's daughter... Xiaogang, although you are not very good in your body, you can live for decades at least. Don't let it go in advance."

Yi Gangyu nodded and said calmly: "I know."

Doctor Hua thought for a while, his eyes turned around and said with a smile: "It is certainly difficult to deal with Fu Zhenjun's daughter, but you seem to have a good relationship with the ignorant vegetable farmer. If you can ask him to propose marriage, you may succeed."

Yi Gangyu said in shock: "Mr. Helian?"

Doctor Hua immediately changed his words and said, "I just said that, don't take it seriously."

Yi Gangyu said: "I dare not have any inappropriate thoughts. If I really want to like a girl, it must be on the same level as me. Mr. Helian cannot be bothered."

Doctor Hua took a sip of his daughter Hong, looked at Yi Gangyu, and asked with a playful look: "Which level are you?"

Yi Gangyu looked down at the ground and said calmly: "As with the ground."

Doctor Hua's eyes looked slightly strange, and he was silent for a moment, and asked, "The golden toad and the colorful viper are in your fish basket."

Yi Gangyu nodded.

Doctor Hua Shen said: "Go to the medicine cabinet boy to receive the reward of 500 Xuanwu Golden Beads. What you need in the future will be found."

Yi Gangyu bowed and said, "Thank you, the miracle doctor."

Doctor Hua waved his hand, and after seeing Yi Gangyu leave the backyard, he drank a cup himself and murmured: "It's strange. The young man has a good character and a good heart. The three types of names in the world and man are quite good, especially the word "Gang" in the middle is very mysterious. As the saying goes, the four right is Gang. The heart has four right, which is the right way, virtue, Dharma, and wisdom. The body has four right, which is the right body, the right energy, the right essence, and the right spirit. The words have four right words, which are the right words, the right voice, the right rhyme, and the right sound. The four right actions are the right actions, the right standing, the right sitting, and the right lying. Such a name must be given by a master, but why has there been no corresponding opportunity for it? Alas... the secret of heaven is hard to measure!"

Yi Gangyu received a thin golden ticket with a denomination of 500 gold beads and left the "Da Huichun Hall". He did not go to the tailor to customize several outfits to seduce girls of all sizes as Mr. Helian said, nor did he ask craftsmen to repair the dilapidated old house with leaks. Instead, he ran to the calligraphy and painting shop that few people were interested in, and was preparing to borrow an ancient book to study and think about it.

....................................................................

Before he was twelve, he had no interest in books, or he could say he had no chance. What he had to do every day was to go up the mountain to chop wood, climb trees to dig bird nests, go down the stream to catch fish, catch loaches in the mud, and then give these things to several surrounding families who were as poor as him. After finishing all this, he went to the tea shop for an hour to drink tea-filled boys in exchange for a lunch that could fill his stomach. In the afternoon, he repeated the morning events, but the fish caught this time could not be given to the neighbors, but had to be given to Mr. Helian, butcher Lao Zhang, or Doctor Hua, or the shopkeeper Fu of the Silk Shop, Ning of the tailor's shop, ancient man from the calligraphy and painting shop, and occasionally to Shouzi of the blacksmith shop or Mrs. Xue of the jewelry shop, so as to have a supper.

Another time, he gave the fish to a sloppy Taoist who lived in Huangni Lane. As a result, the sloppy Taoist turned out to be a yellow paper talisman out of thin air, throwing it away, and a black-haired and green-eyed cat pounced down from the void and snatched away the few small yellow croakers he was carrying.

He was so scared that he almost urinated his pants. One was that he didn't understand how a piece of yellow paper like a ghost-drawing talisman turned into a cat? The other was that the cat was too big and almost could catch up with the black leopard in the mountains.

After that, he went to send fish again. He put the fish on a bluestone slab on the side of the road, then pulled his throat and shouted "Grandpa Taoist, the fish is here!" Then he turned around and ran away without taking a look back.

The ancient master's calligraphy and paintings were old and tight, and the two wooden doors were full of cracks. The wide ones had two fingers, and the narrow ones could also reach into the child's palms. There were also many holes all over the surroundings. The old ones were old and the broken ones were broken, but Yi Gangyu carefully discovered that both the two doors and the thresholds were spotless, just like dust did not dare to fall on it.

Yi Gangyu asked several times out of curiosity, but every time the ancient old man smiled and refused to answer.

The first time he walked into the ancient master's calligraphy and painting shop was entirely because of curiosity. He didn't recognize any of the four words on the signboard of the ancient master's calligraphy and painting shop. At that time, he slipped to the side of the gate, stretched out half of his head and looked inside, and saw a thin old man sitting seriously in front of the desk, holding a ragged ancient book in his hand, but his eyes were closed. Yi Gangyu thought to himself that this old man was interesting. He was asleep, but he still had to pretend to read a book, just like the young school children in the academy. He couldn't help but chuckled and alarmed the old man. When the old man opened his eyes, Yi Gangyu wanted to run away, but was frightened to find that his feet could not move, as if they were nailed to the ground.

Yi Gangyu was about to ask for forgiveness, but Mr. Gu waved at him and asked him to go in. It was strange that when Mr. Gu waved his hand, Yi Gangyu immediately found that he could move. Although he was afraid, his legs couldn't help but walk in, glanced at Mr. Gu quickly, and quickly looked down at his belly button.

The old man stared at him for a while before he asked kindly with a smile: "Little guy, do you want to read a book?"

Yi Gangyu still trembled with urination and shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I can't read."

"Then what are you peeking at in front of my shop?"

"I...I just want to know what four words are written on the wooden sign outside?"

The old man said casually: "There is a universe inside."

Yi Gangyu was stunned, thought about it seriously, and then asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, what does that mean?"

"Well... I can't tell you that if you really want to know, come to my place to read books every day, and buy them back and read them. After a long time, I will naturally understand the meaning."

Yi Gangyu mustered up his courage to raise his head, glanced at Mr. Gu, lowered his head, and said, "I don't have Xuanwu Golden Pearl."

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then what do you have?"

"The firewood cut from the mountain, the bird eggs I took out, and the little yellow croaker and loach I caught..."

The old man waved his hand and said, "The soup for small yellow croaker is very delicious. Loach is fried in boiling oil and has crispy flavors, supplemented with minced pepper, shredded ginger and green onion. It is a unique choice for wine."

Yi Gangyu was ashamed and his head hanged lower, saying, "Grandpa, I can catch it, I won't do it."
