He placed two fingers on Luo Xuan's wrist while carefully feeling Luo Xuan's pulse.
At the same time, he said: "Youngjun, do you know the origin of my last name?"
The old man in front of me named Tuo Shizhan probably said these words mainly to dispel his own wariness.
Luo Xuan replied, "The surname Tuo should be derived from the Tuoba family, right? This surname is very rare in the Central Plains. It should be more common in the northern Shaanxi area.
Just because in ancient times, the Xiongnu and Donghu people lived together there.
Some of them belonged to the Han Dynasty, or the Hu people from the Tang Dynasty moved in, so they changed their surname to Tuo."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Tuo Shizhan nodded and stroked his beard with one hand.
With a face filled with relief, she exclaimed, "I didn't expect that my Haili has some discernment! She actually found such a knowledgeable young man like you."
Luo Xuan chuckled, "You, a combination of Chinese medicine and Mongolian medicine, can take your pulse and chat about everyday things at the same time?"
"Others can't. Who is this person? You don't want to find out. In the old society, in this land with a radius of 3,50 miles, who doesn't know me, a famous Mongolian doctor?"
Tuo Shizhan suddenly came back to his senses, "Huh? You can actually see that the unique skill in me is Chinese medicine on the surface, but in fact it is Mongolian medicine in my bones?!"
"Who are you anyway?"
Tuo Shizhan slowly retracted his finger and tilted his head in confusion.
It seemed that he was trying to use his nose and ears to hear something from Luo Xuan, smell some information...
"Isn't this strange? I have spent a long time in northern Shaanxi. I also had a lot of contact with Mongolian people."
Luo Xuan said leisurely, "Old man, please don't take my pulse. My body is definitely for national defense. Even if you want to find faults, I'm afraid you won't be able to find any faults."
"Well, that's right! Your body has a strong pulse and a steady breath. The true energy flows smoothly among the five internal organs and six internal organs.
I have to say that with your good skin, you can be regarded as the strongest and most healthy body I have ever seen in my whole life of practicing medicine."
Tuo Shizhan was full of praise.
Immediately, he asked Luo Xuan in a low voice: "Little brother, can you put away that thing in your hand? If it goes wrong, it won't be fun."
He who is blind must be hearing.
Or the sense of smell will evolve to be extremely sensitive.
Ordinary people may need to bring their nose closer to the gunpowder in their hand to smell the smell of gunpowder emanating from it.
And the faint smell of gunpowder smoke left behind after the previous shooting.
But in front of Tuo Shizhan, his ears and sense of smell are probably many times more sensitive than ordinary people.
and,
This old guy in front of me is hiding his secrets!
According to Luo Xuan's estimation: His internal strength cultivation level is probably one level higher than his own, but slightly lower than Ji Xuyuan's ability.
Luo Xuan and Tuo Shizhan were talking in the room.
There was only a "creak" sound as the courtyard door rang, and Takumi walked in with her head lowered.
Luo Xuan was about to speak.
However, Tuo Haili stretched out an index finger and made a "silence" gesture on her lips.
Just because she had just come in, Luo Xuan had already seen it clearly: there were 4 finger prints on Tuo Haili's face!
According to Luo Xuan's estimation: This Takumi Rei, when she went out to "smooth" things just now.
I'm afraid I kicked the steel plate and got slapped by the opponent...
No wonder there is an old saying: Don’t just see a thief eating meat.
In fact, secretly, the thieves received countless beatings.
Any good thief must study hard, practice hard, and be beaten many times. In the end, he can develop a unique skill.
Just like those so-called famous doctors, in fact, there are probably not a few practitioners who died secretly in their hands.
Including the one in front of me, Tuo Shizhan, who has devoted his whole life to studying medical skills.
In fact, it was also because in the old society, he once killed the concubine of a junior officer.
Only then did the little warlord send people to kill his son and daughter-in-law.
Tuo Shizhan himself was blinded and could no longer practice medicine.
on the dinner table,
Tuo Haili kept eating silently, except for the braised goose, she didn't move much.
She was just eating multigrain rice and a plate of stinky tofu that looked like she had made it herself.
Stinky tofu is salty and tastes very economical.M..coM
And during this period, if you want to buy tofu, you can only buy some tofu tickets during the New Year and festivals. The street office will issue some tofu tickets to the residents.
Then everyone goes to the non-staple food store of the supply and marketing cooperative or the fruit and vegetable store to buy with the ticket.
Because it is not easy to eat a piece of tofu.
Therefore, after most residents buy tofu, they are reluctant to braise it and eat it.
Instead, use a bamboo steamer to store the tofu until it becomes moldy.
Wait until the tofu becomes moldy and smelly.
Then take it out and expose it to the sun for half a day. Finally, add salt, pepper, and chili powder to finally make it into stinky tofu.
Stinky tofu, tempeh, and sauerkraut in the kimchi jar.
These are the three must-have rice cookers in the homes of ordinary residents in rural and urban areas of Bashu Province in this era.
These things can't be said to be very delicious.
But the advantage is that it is durable and can be taken out at any time to meet unexpected needs.
And the most important thing is: eating these things saves money.
Tuo Haili finished her meal in a hurry, said hello to her grandfather and Luo Xuan, and then went into the kitchen.
I don't know what she is busy with.
Maybe Takumi just went out to "borrow money" and got a slap in the face?
So much so that she was in the kitchen, preparing to bake rice noodles so that Luo Xuan could use them to replace his wages?
At this time, food was hard currency.
Even better than money.

"Youngjun, Haili is not here now. Can you tell me your true identity?"
Tuo Shizhan made a "sizzle" sound and turned a small glass of strong wine into his mouth together with the small wine glass as big as his little finger.
Then with a "pop" sound, he spit out the wine glass again.
Afterwards, I saw him with a satisfied face as he savored the spicy feeling brought about by the strong wine entering his throat...
Luo Xuan said, "I don't have a so-called real or unreal identity.
We are just ordinary people living in the countryside and eating the food of urban residents."
Tuo Shizhan sighed: "I, a useless old man, have one thing to ask of you. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Luo Xuan smiled lightly: "No."
Tuo Shizhan seemed to have already expected Luo Xuan's answer.
A look of sorrow appeared on his face, "As you know, we eat a fixed amount of food now. There is always some food in the monthly ration book that cannot be taken out.
Living in the city, when you open your eyes every morning, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all money. Once you step out of this courtyard, eating, drinking and having sex are all free."
Tuo Shizhan gave a bitter smile, "Now, I am just a waste. If I stay in this world, I can only drag down my family's Haili."
Now, because food is relatively tight.
Therefore, even the urban population who eat the residents' quota of food basically have no surplus food in their hands.
For example, if an employee who does physical work has a monthly quota of 38 kilograms, then there will always be 2 kilograms of grain written in the grain book.
These 2 kilograms of grain cannot be bought.
For an ordinary old man like Tuo Shizhan, his quota of grain is probably the largest for Luo Xuan, which is only 28 kilograms per month.
There is still 1 catty among them, which is a number left in the grain book.
The grain station will not sell this 1 pound of grain to him.
Seeing Tuo Shizhan complaining to him, Luo Xuan asked him while chewing the braised goose head in his hand, "Mr. Tuo, what do you mean by saying this to me?"
"Take Haili away!"
Tuo Shizhan let out a long breath: "I can tell that you are a very capable person. I don't expect Xiaoli to have such a good life and be able to live with you for the rest of her life.
But I believe there should be good candidates by your side.
Maybe, he can help Xiaoli live like a normal person in the future. Maybe he can help her take the right path."
Luo Xuan was slightly startled: It seems that the blind old man in front of him is really bright in his heart!
It seems that Takumi Rei does not have a serious job, and Tuo Shizhan has long been aware of this matter.
Moreover, Tuo Shizhan, who is sophisticated in the world, wants to take his granddaughter away with him, hoping that he can introduce a good partner to Tuo Haili in the future.
It also helps Takumi Rei not have to rely on stealing things to survive in the future.
Seeing Luo Xuan's silence, Tuo Shizhan lowered his voice and said: "A while ago, I asked someone to inquire, and now it seems that my ancestral yard can still be sold for 4,500 yuan."
"Now, since God has opened his eyes, let me, a useless waste, die before I die.
I can still meet such an outstanding person like you. I will entrust you with this money and the miserable Xiaoli."
At this moment, Tuo Shizhan's shrunken eyes slowly shed two lines of turbid tears.
"As for the future, whether you beat her or scold her, I don't care and can't control it. Little brother, can you agree to this?"
Giving him a eldest daughter for free and paying him a large sum of money?
If this matter were left to others, they would probably wake up laughing even if they fell asleep.
But it is of no use to myself.
Luo Xuan was about to shake his head and refuse.
At this moment!
Tuo Haili suddenly rushed in from outside the house, "Grandpa, I won't leave you! Don't think about it. I've thrown away the medicine you hid under the pillow a long time ago!"
"No matter how hard it is, I will never leave you! Grandpa, I will stay with you."
Takumi, who threw herself into her grandfather's arms, was already crying and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will never follow other people's things again.
I'll go to the street office and paste the matchboxes!
Even if we eat rice bran every meal, as long as grandpa is here, you are at home.
As long as there is a light on at home when I come back, my heart... will be very peaceful.
I can tell myself: I have a grandfather and I have a family!"
Tuo Shizhan stretched out his hand, slowly stroked his beloved granddaughter's hair, and said, "Silly granddaughter! A person who has made up his mind to seek death is something that even God cannot stop."
"You threw away the medicine that grandpa mixed with a sprig of wormwood and blood-streaked throat.
Wouldn’t I swallow a pound of realgar? It’s just that doing so will make your grandfather’s death more painful.”
Tuo Shizhan cried and said: "If you stay with grandpa, it will only make our lives miserable..."
But if you leave grandpa, you can start a new life.
You still have a long road ahead. Why do you have to drag me with such a burden and crawl forward with difficulty?"
Tuo Haili wailed sadly: "No! My relatives are not here to settle scores! I won't leave you even if I kill you."
Tuo Shizhan shook his head: "My silly granddaughter! People must pay attention to their circles.
You brought this little brother back today. Although I don’t know what he does, Grandpa can feel it in his heart. There must be someone suitable for you in the circle around him. "
Tuo Shizhan tilted his neck, and Gulu swallowed several large gulps of strong wine.
After he forcibly suppressed the raging drunkenness rolling like waves, he finally persuaded Takumi with difficulty, "Follow him and start your new life!"
Are you making paste matchboxes in the street? It only costs 1 yuan and 30 cents to paste 1,000 of them. For that job, you can’t compete with those old ladies and young wives who are idle at home.”
These grandfather and grandson are going too far!
Luo Xuan slapped the table: "Mr. Tuo, hurry up and find someone to buy a house!"
Now that I have decided to take away the grandfather and grandson, there is no point in keeping their small courtyard.
The house had been left unoccupied for a long time, and it was completely destroyed.
Rather than that, it’s better to sell it and cash it out!
