Three days later, Beidu.

A taxi stopped at the entrance of a community, and Ning Tao got out of the car carrying a small medicine box and a large bag of local products brought from the mountain city. Jiang Hao also got out of the car, snatched the heavy bag of local products from Ning Tao's hands, and took him into the community.

"I told you not to buy it, but you still want to buy it. What's in it? It's so heavy." Jiang Hao led the way while talking to Ning Tao.

Ning Tao said with a smile: "It's my first time coming here, so why am I so embarrassed to be empty-handed? There's nothing in it. In addition to some local products from the mountain city, there are also some homemade medicinal materials, spices and so on."

"You also make your own medicines and spices?" Jiang Hao looked surprised.

Ning Tao said: "It's nothing, they are just some common food supplements and medicinal materials, and then I processed them with the secret method passed down from my ancestors, which is very helpful for the body. As for the spices, they are all used for cooking, and they can probably make the dishes more delicious. ”

"Probably?" Jiang said with a smile, "You are a miracle doctor. I have never seen a doctor as amazing as you in my whole life. Any disease that comes to you is just a minor problem. My mother must like the herbs and spices you handle. Incredible.”

Ning Tao smiled a little sheepishly, "It's not a big deal, I hope Auntie doesn't dislike it."

Arriving in front of a unit building, a middle-aged woman holding a teddy dog met Jiang Hao and Ning Tao who were about to enter the building. She was stunned for a moment, and then said in a surprised voice: "Oh, this is not Jiang Hao." Okay, take your partner home?”

Jiang Hao showed an embarrassed expression and blushed, "Hello Aunt Zhang, we actually..."

"Actually, what's the point of being embarrassed?" Aunt Zhang looked at Ning Tao again and again, and then said, "This young man is so handsome. What's his name? What does he do? Where is he from?"

Aunt Hua's curiosity is so powerful.

Without waiting for Ning Tao to reply, Jiang Hao pulled Ning Tao towards the building and said as he walked: "Aunt Zhang, my mother is waiting for us, so we won't talk more. See you later."

That Aunt Zhang looked back at Ning Tao, who was being dragged into the unit building by Jiang Hao, and shook her head slightly, "He is handsome, but he is a bit poor, and he doesn't even have a decent piece of clothes. He is like our uncle." The difference is thousands of miles, even the watch our uncle wears costs tens of thousands... "

Ning Tao heard this, but if he heard it, he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.

When Jiang Hao arrived at Jiang Hao's home, Jiang Hao's mother Tang Zhen was all smiles. When Jiang Hao said that Ning Tao had specially brought her some secretly processed medicinal herbs and spices, she couldn't wait to open the bag and take it out.

Ning Tao gave Tang Zhen three tonic medicinal materials, wolfberry, angelica and asparagus. They were all refined with the Meixiang Ding, but they were not refined to the most concentrated and essence level, which was only 30%. . But even though it was only refined to a 30% level, the wolfberries he refined were crystal clear and fragrant, just like rubies that emit fragrance. There are also angelica and asparagus, these two medicinal herbs are as beautiful as amber and have a fragrant fragrance.

Tang Zhen looked at this and that, full of praise, "Oh, what kind of wolfberry is this? It's so beautiful! And this angelica, oh, if I hang it around my neck and go out, someone will definitely say that I'm wearing agate..."

The spices Ning Tao gave to Tang Zhen were very common, namely chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns and star anise. After being refined with his spiritual power and the Mei Xiang Ding, those chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and star anise also had a crystal clear amber-like texture and a rich fragrance. , and not only has the aroma of chili, pepper, and star anise, but also has some indescribable magical aroma, which makes people happy physically and mentally and greatly increases appetite.

Tang Zhen gave another string of compliments, "Oh, these chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and star anise are so fragrant. I can't bear to eat them when I smell them. Xiao Ning, you are really capable..."

Jiang Hao couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled Ning Tao towards a room and let go of Ning Tao's hand after entering the door.

This is a woman's room with a bed, wardrobe, dressing table and a bookshelf. There are several trophies and medals on the bookshelf, such as the first place in the shooting competition, the second place in the fighting competition, etc., and there are also third-level, Several second-class military medals.

Too many things make the room seem a bit crowded, but this is also a common situation in Beidu. Housing prices here have reached 100,000 per square meter, making it impossible for ordinary people to afford a house. Tang Zhen bought this house more than ten years ago, when the house price was still cheap. But she made a miscalculation. She didn't have much money at the time, so she only bought this small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. She lived in one room and Jiang Hao lived in the other room, so there was no guest room.

"You can stay in my room these days, and I'll stay in the living room." Jiang Hao said.

Ning Tao hurriedly said: "How can that be okay? It's outrageous for me to cause you trouble and let you live in the living room. I'll live in the living room."

Jiang Hao said: "You are a guest, how can I let you sleep in the living room? It's decided, you sleep in my room and I will sleep in the living room."

Ning Tao said: "If you don't agree, I will stay in a hotel."

"You..." Jiang Hao was angered by Ning Tao.

Ning Tao smiled and said, "That's it. I'll live in the living room."

Jiang Hao sighed, "Okay, you are really stubborn sometimes."

Ning Tao just smiled and did not answer.

Tang Zhen made lunch, including braised pork, boiled pork slices and stewed chicken. These dishes were all made based on the tonic herbs and spices brought by Ning Tao. The braised pork used star anise, and the boiled pork used chili and pepper. Sichuan peppercorns and angelica are used for braised chicken. As soon as these dishes are served on the table, the aroma fills the whole room and whets your appetite.

But it's not just the fragrance. The spices and medicinal ingredients refined by Ning Tao turn a few ordinary dishes into real delicacies. The boiled pork was originally an authentic Sichuan dish, but with the addition of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns refined by Ning Tao, the spicy character has not changed, but it has a vivid flavor of seafood, which is both spicy and delicious, and it is fragrant. The spiciness doesn't irritate people's taste buds and stomach, so even a northerner can eat it. The braised chicken with angelica root melts in your mouth, delicious and refreshing. When you drink the chicken soup, your whole body will be warm and indescribably comfortable, and you will feel happy. It is simply a real version of "Chicken Soup for the Soul".

Tang Zhen and Jiang were so happy with their food that they even forgot how a woman should look when eating.

Ning Tao is also very happy. In the past three days, he not only refined a lot of aloe vera essence cream, but also refined some dietary supplements and spices. This time, sending some dietary supplements and spices to Tang Zhen was a bit of a "test of the waters." the goal of. Now it seems that the spices refined with Meixiangding are also good things, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

Several dishes were quickly wiped out. Tang Zhen burped and said happily: "This is the most comfortable meal I have ever had in my life. Xiao Ning, what will my chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns be used for in the future?" It’s over, I still have to ask you for it, you can’t refuse me.”

Ning Tao smiled and said, "Auntie, just give me a call and I'll mail it to you."

"Xiao Ning, you are not only a nice person, but you are also so capable. Which girl would be lucky enough to marry you?" Tang Zhen glanced sideways at Jiang Hao, who was drinking from a water glass, and suddenly said, " Xiao Ning, why didn’t your girlfriend come to Beidu?”

Ning Tao was stunned for a moment, "My girlfriend? Who is she?"

Tang Zhen said: "I'm talking about Lin Qingyu, don't you have a few girlfriends?"

Ning Tao was slightly embarrassed, "Auntie, you misunderstood. I don't have a girlfriend yet. Lin Qingyu and I are just very good friends."

"So that's it." Tang Zhen laughed twice inexplicably, and then stepped on Jiang Hao's instep.

Jiang Hao opened his mouth wide and did not scream, but the water he just drank flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong with you?" Ning Tao asked with concern. He didn't see Tang Zhen's little movements under the dining table.

"Nothing, let's go, I'll take you to Ding's house." Jiang Hao changed the subject. She knew why her mother stepped on her, and she felt embarrassed just thinking about it.

"Okay, let's go to Ding's house now." Ning Tao said, but what he was thinking about was the appointment on the 15th of the month. He could only stay in Beidu for a few days.

Tang Zhen said: "Hello Jiang, have you made an appointment with Ding Congjun?"

Ding Congjun, he is the son of Ding Ye and a major general in a certain military region in Beidu. This is what Jiang Hao told Ning Tao on the way, and she also briefly described several important members of the Ding family to Ning Tao. Therefore, when he heard Tang Zhen mention the name Ding Congjun, Ning Tao immediately thought of who he was and some related situations. Ding Ye is ill, and now the person in charge of the Ding family is Ding Congjun.

"It's an appointment, Mom, let's go." Jiang Hao didn't seem to want to stay any longer, because if she stayed any longer, her mother, who hated her for not marrying, didn't know what trouble she would cause.

Ning Tao said goodbye to Tang Zhen, then followed Jiang Hao out the door with a small medicine box.

On the road to the community, Jiang Hao asked a question, "Just now you told my mother that you don't have a girlfriend, why don't you find one?"

Ning Tao said awkwardly: "I haven't even graduated yet. How can I, a current student with no job and no money, be qualified to talk to someone?"

"That's because you don't want it. I gave you one million and you tore it up casually. I recommended a job to you and you rejected it without even thinking about it." Jiang Hao is still "grudged" to this day.

Ning Tao smiled awkwardly, "Let's not talk about this. I'm going to call a taxi." He quickened his pace, giving people a sense of escape.

Jiang Hao looked at Ning Tao's back and was stunned for a while before he said, "Why don't you ask me if I have a boyfriend?"

But only she could hear these words.

It's not that Ning Tao doesn't want to find a girlfriend, he is also a normal man who will be moved by beautiful and sexy women. But he could only think about it and did not dare to take the initiative to pursue a certain woman. In the past, he couldn't pursue it without money. Although money is not the main problem now, his identity as the owner of Tianwai Clinic has become a new problem for him.

He didn't know if he would be sent to the crematorium one day because he didn't earn enough rent. He didn't know if he would live for thousands of years like Chen Pingdao. In such a situation, how could he fall in love with an ordinary girl and grow old hand in hand
