Chun Niang held Youyou and said to the girl sitting on the deer's back: "Don't just agree to treat people in the future. If that person disappears, your reputation will be ruined."
Yingbao nodded: "Yes, I understand, mother."
She just wanted to test the effect of the wound medicine, and Chen Zhu happened to be the best test subject.
In a few days, she would go to the county town to buy more medicinal materials and prepare the medicine. She would also visit Wu Daozi on the way.
Last time, Sister Wen gave her a prescription worth a thousand dollars. Ying Bao read it through briefly and decided to buy some medicinal materials according to the prescription and prepare some pills.
Back at Nanpo's house, Yingbao took off the saddle from Youyou's back, took her to a deserted area outside the yard, and took out some fresh bean sprouts for her to eat.
He patted its neck and said, "You can go home after eating. I'm going to see how Daddy's well is going."
Youyou rubbed her head against her, seeming to understand what she was saying.
"Sister, sister!" Xiao Wu and Xiaojie ran over quickly.
Ying Bao stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Huzi and Brother Yuanbao are going to shoot birds. I also want a bow and arrow to shoot birds." Xiao Wu is particularly passionate about swords and arrows, and pesters his father all day long to make him a small bow and arrow.
But the father was afraid that the two boys would hurt each other if they were too naughty, so he didn't make these things for them.
Yingbao pulled her two younger brothers back and said, "Why shoot the birds? We don't lack meat. The birds are so pitiful. They are fine and won't bother you, so why shoot them to death?"
Xiao Wu scratched his head and felt that what his sister said made sense.
But he still wanted a bow and arrow, even if he could shoot at a big tree.
Xiaojie nodded his little head and said, "Let's not shoot birds, let's shoot rabbits."
Yingbao knocked him on the head, "Have you finished writing the big characters today? How far have you recited the Thousand-Character Essay?"
Xiaojie touched his forehead and raised his little hands happily: "I have already carried the dragon master, the fire emperor, the bird official and the human emperor. I have begun to write words, and now I am wearing clothes."
Yingbao praised: "Xiaojie is so awesome. He has already carried it all the way here. Later, my sister will go to the town to buy delicious food for you to eat."
Xiao Wu was unconvinced and said: "I've memorized it too."
Ying Bao patted him and praised him without hesitation: "Xiao Wu is also very good. If you want any gifts, sister will buy them."
"Bow! I want a bow! And arrows!" they both shouted in unison.
Yingbao was speechless.
Forget it, I'll buy them two small bows and arrows at the market next time, but the arrows shouldn't be too sharp.
After Chun Niang came back, she started cooking.
First cook a pot of rice, and when it is cooked, cook it over low heat for a while, so that a layer of rice will appear under the rice kang, which can be left as snacks for the children.
Then make some cabbage and tofu, boil some salted eggs and two sausages. I also have a small can of soybeans at home. It would be delicious to scoop out a bowl with rice.
After the meal was ready, Chun Niang asked the two twins to go out and call their father and uncle to come back for dinner.
At the dinner table, Jiang Sanlang took a mouthful of rice and said to his wife: "There is a big party tomorrow. See if there is anything missing at home and buy more. There are probably a lot of people coming to our house to pay New Year's greetings this year. You can prepare more meat and dishes to entertain people."
Chun Niang nodded, "Okay, let Dacheng help me drive the mule cart tomorrow, so I can buy some things and bring them back."
"Don't buy the tofu. Our dad said he would make it himself this year, and then each family will share some."
"Well, then I'll buy some more fish." Chun Niang said.
There should be no fish on the table when entertaining guests, as that would be disrespectful.
Yingbao raised his head from his rice bowl, blinked and said, "Let's go catch some fish."
She kept a lot of high-quality snow fungus scraps in her cave, but she didn't sell them as statues, and she couldn't eat them all at home, so she might as well make them into bait for fishing and save money on buying fish.
Just when Jiang Sanlang was about to refuse, he heard his daughter say: "I have a lot of snow fungus crumbs there, and some flour and wheat bran to make fish bait. I'm sure I can catch big fish."
Jiang Erlang's eyes lit up, "Sanlang, let's go fishing in the afternoon."
Don’t be in a hurry to dig a well. After the New Year, ask several villagers to dig together, and then ask two professional well diggers to guide you. You will be sure to have the well filled with water in the spring.
Because after spring warms up, the water in the ponds will grow with insects and cannot be used as draft water.
Jiang Sanlang was not happy at first, but when he saw that his little girl and his second brother, his eldest nephew and his two nephews all looked forward to it, he had no choice but to nod his head: "Then let's prepare all the fishing items and look for a place in the afternoon."
"Let's go back to the same place last time. The water surface is wide and we will definitely be able to catch a lot of big fish." Jiang Erlang had long forgotten about getting wet and sick before.
"Okay, let's go there." Jiang Sanlang nodded, picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ying Bao decided to go and have a look. Anyway, riding a deer by himself would not delay the business of his father and others.
After eating, Yingbao mixed the minced golden fungus and snow fungus into the wheat bran, and then handed a large jar of fish bait to her father.
Jiang Sanlang grabbed a handful and looked at it. When he saw that his hands were full of wheat bran and flour, he was satisfied and agreed that his daughter should go with him.
When harnessing the cart, the mule caught sight of Ying Bao, started to whine, and kept pushing its big head this way.
"Don't worry, there is something for you to eat." Yingbao touched its big ears, grabbed a handful of wheat bran and fed it to it, and then grabbed a handful to feed the big deer.
Jiang Sanlang harnessed the mule cart, put the net, hooks, ropes, baskets, etc. on the mule cart, and jumped onto the shaft.
When the two eldest nephews and the second brother also piled into the mule cart, they whipped the mules and drove them on the road.
Yingbao also rode on the big deer and followed closely behind.
On the road, I met Chen Yin and several villagers.
They originally wanted to find Jiang Sanlang to hunt rabbits in the mountains, but unexpectedly they saw him driving a mule cart to the river.
Looking at the objects stacked on the car, they all laughed in understanding. "Third brother, you guys are going fishing, so take some of our brothers with you."
Jiang Sanlang can say no, of course not.
He said angrily: "Okay! You must bring your own tools."
Chuanhe is not from his family, these are all his good brothers, so take them with you, but whether they can catch them or not depends on their luck.
Chen Yin and others cheered and ran home quickly to get their tools, shouting as they ran: "Third brother, you must wait for us!"
As a result, when they came back, they were followed by several villagers, including brothers Li Dayong and Wang Ke.
Okay, now it’s a village-wide event.
Jiang Sanlang felt so fucked up, but he couldn't say anything.
Yingbao rode a deer and followed the mule cart, receiving eager looks from the villagers from time to time.
Well, since I am considered a star, I will check their pulse one by one and see what's wrong with them.
After walking for several miles, we came to a wide river.
Jiang Sanlang Jiang Erlang and his two nephews unloaded their tools and looked for a suitable location.
Yingbao rode a deer around and looked at the scenery.
"Sanlang, we are still spreading fishing bait here." Jiang Erlang pointed to a river beach.
They had been fishing here the year before last. There was a half-foot-wide shallow water area by the river, which was particularly suitable for dragging nets.
"Okay, this is it. I'll throw out the bait first, and then you can use the net to catch it. Dacheng Erquan, you two are weak, so be careful not to fall into the river."
"I know, Uncle San!" Dacheng Erquan responded cheerfully, picked up the net and prepared to catch fish.
Thank you all for your votes and subscription support. I am very grateful for accompanying you all the way.
