Chapter 20 You are here
Chapter 20 You are finally here
Not daring, sensing Shen Qingrou's unkind look, Li Erya lowered his head and entered the kitchen. The kitchen was a forbidden area for Shen Muyin, so he did not follow him in.
But Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingrou came in quickly, but they didn't say anything and were preparing for dinner.
The Shen family has a sweet taste, and they would like to put some sugar in the dishes and soups. However, due to the limited conditions at home, they can only restrain themselves and restrain themselves, and they are worried that her hands will shake and waste sugar, so they rush to cook.
She is not picky, and the sweetness is acceptable at the moment, so she won't compete with them. In the kitchen, she only does some washing and chopping, and if necessary, she cooks a dish or soup by herself.
Today, there was no room for her to express herself, so she was washing the vegetables obediently, while Shen Qingrou was lighting the fire, and Mrs. Shen was naturally the cook.
They were in peace at first, but Shen Qingrou just didn't like her and took advantage of her picking vegetables, saying that she picked them too short and didn't look good, even worse than pig food.
"Come and make some gestures." Li Erya gave up his position.
"Just do it better next time." Shen Qingrou curled her lips and refused to listen to her. Moreover, the water was so cold, and she would suffer if she got too much.
Li Erya rolled his eyes and squatted back again.
As Shen Qingrou's biological mother, Mrs. Shen rarely said that Shen Qingrou was wrong in front of her, and this time was no exception. She kept her mouth shut as if she was worried.
In fact, her health has improved a lot, and Su Yue also said that as long as she opens her mind, it is not a problem to live to her sixties or seventies, but it is a pity that entanglement harms others.
Meeting disobedient patients is really a headache. She chose Chinese medicine because she had seen too many disobedient patients.
At this moment, what Mrs. Shen is most troubled about is probably her own existence. However, she cannot go back to her parents' home, and there is no room for her here. She is helpless about this, at least at this moment.
In the study, Shen Nanzhou was talking to his two sons about the county examination.
As a spectator, Shen Muyin found a chance to interrupt after a while, saying that he also wanted to take the county examination.
"Nonsense." Shen Nanzhou's face darkened, "Even if you are talented and smart, you must not be arrogant and arrogant if you can't fail the small county test. Wait a moment."
Shen Muyin was stunned. His father and brother were determined to go to the county examination next year. He just wanted to go together to prevent the tragedy from happening, and he definitely did not have any arrogance.
He had no choice but to say that he wanted to see what was lacking.
"The same goes for waiting for your brother to come back and take the test for you." Shen Nanzhou looked at his youngest son and added, "You are still young. Even if you are lucky enough to pass the test, you still have a long way to go. If you are stable and don’t have enough experience, the future will be difficult.”
Having said this, Shen Muyin could only nod in agreement.
In order to make up for it, Shen Nanzhou also stepped up his tutoring for them both.
Li Erya was relatively relaxed. Without Shen Muyin staring at her from time to time, the air was sweet.
Although she still had to go to school when it was time, Shen Nanzhou was not strict with her, as long as she could read and write.
She was very nervous about pens, ink, paper and inkstones in school, and she didn't want to occupy those precious things, so she used a fire stick to write and draw on the ground in her free time.
At this time, Shen Qingrou was probably the most proud, because she could point out her handwriting and say that her handwriting was crooked, but Li Erya wrote the last stroke calmly without being shy or annoyed.
Looking up, Li Erya found a carriage coming outside the door. It was Huang Xingding and the others, so he walked out happily, "You are finally here."
"Something happened on the way and I was delayed." Huang Xingding said sheepishly, and then introduced his housekeeper to her.
After seeing Shen Nanzhou and his son, Huang Xingding could only leave her and chat with them.
Shen Nanzhou didn't know much about the medicinal materials, so he could only let him discuss it with Li Erya, but he couldn't let them be in the same room alone.
Being stared at by them, Li Erya could only talk about the key points.
I only have about twenty kilograms of medicinal materials on hand. If I sell them at the previous price, I can probably get about one hundred pence. The last time I exchanged them, I only had six pence left after turning in the medicine and buying the medicine hoe.
After selling medicinal materials this time, she wanted him to discuss with Li Zheng about planting some ginseng. Forest ginseng was not as valuable as wild ginseng, but it was an income. She wanted to plant it too, but she had to ask him about the seeds.
"No problem." Huang Xingding promised, patting his chest.
After talking about the business, Huang Xingding took out a purse and handed it to Shen Nanzhou after hesitation. This was the silver reward they got for selling chicken bone grass soup recipe.
Although it was a very simple recipe, it was enough to bring the restaurant back to life. The shopkeeper bought most of the supplies and gave them an extra sum of money.
Huang Xingye felt that they should not take the money, so he asked Huang Xingding to give it to Li Erya.
Naturally, it was not her turn to get the money, so Huang Xingding had to give it to Shen Nanzhou.
Shen Nanzhou was still measured and let Li Erya take the money.
Li Erya weighed it and returned the money. She had no merit, and the money was only fifty-fifty. She could just let him exchange her share for ginseng seeds.
"all?"
"all."
"OK."
Huang Xingding shamelessly stayed at the Shen family for one night again, but this time he did not dare to disturb them too much, so he spent the night in the school.
Early the next morning, Huang Xingding once again shamelessly borrowed Li Erya's help. He had discussed this with the housekeeper, because the medicinal materials she mentioned were too ordinary and the quantity was quite large. He wanted to secretly ask her if she had any Find a way to sell it.
Li Erya lowered his head silently, waiting for Shen Nanzhou to speak.
"Go, go and come back quickly." Shen Nanzhou glanced at her and finally agreed.
"Dad?" This time it was Shen Muyin's turn to not be calm.
"Have you finished your homework?" Shen Nanzhou glanced at him and turned to leave.
When Shen Muyin saw that everyone else was silent, he could only accept the facts.
Luo Gui'an, who came to the school to report, learned that Huang Xingding was here, and wanted to be the first to go back and report the news, but was targeted by Shen Nanzhou, so he could only walk into the school obediently.
After leaving the Shen family, there was no Shen family watching her, and Li Erya was walking with a wave of fidgets.
"You seem happy."
"Um."
“Can that Kuzhai vegetable also be used to make soup?”
"Yes, you guessed it right."
Li Erya turned around and glanced at the housekeeper. Seeing that Huang Xingding trusted him, she told him how to make soup.
Huang Xingding silently memorized the prescription and was a little confused as to why she didn't sell the prescription herself.
"Me? It's not easy for me to go out, so forget it." Li Erya laughed to himself, taking advantage of the fact that no one reminded him about the people he should be wary of when he went to Qingshui Village, Luowan Village, and Shifeng Village.
From the words of Luo Gui'an and He Tong, she already knew something about the two villages. As for Qingshui Village, the memories of the past were still there, and she could distinguish between good and bad.
"You are so powerful. My brother also told me to be wary of him." Huang Xingding was filled with admiration.
