After noon, when Qi Jing came back with his mule cart, he saw Tang Shiyue standing at the door of the wing, looking at him with bright eyes.
Qi Jing couldn't help but smile.
Although he knew she was here for the money, her expression made him feel as if he was being expected to come back, and he was in an inexplicably good mood.
He stopped the mule, turned around and took Qi Yang down. He was holding him face down. The little guy was asleep. There was no bandage on his back, but it seemed that it had been cleaned, and the fire bubbles seemed to have been broken.
Apply yellow ointment.
Tang Shiyue looked carefully: "Did the medicine change?"
Qi Jing hummed. He tilted his head and motioned for her to go to the carriage. Tang Shiyue went to the carriage and took down the basket. The second son of the village doctor came over to say hello and took the mule away. Tang Shiyue then returned to the compartment.
At the same time, he called Xiao Yao'er: "Yao'er, go to the door and watch. If anyone comes, let me know."
Xiao Yao'er responded and jumped out. Qi Jing's ears were slightly hot, but his face was calm. He carefully placed Qi Yang on the couch and let him lie on the pillow. Then he turned around and said
: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
She came over with bright eyes: "How much?"
Qi Jing wanted to take a step back out of habit, but stopped midway. He looked at her thick and long eyelashes from a very close distance: "Sold for 5,600 taels, I took 5,500 taels of them.
I asked for a silver note and exchanged a hundred taels for broken silver." He took out a box from his backpack and handed it to her.
Wow! I’m getting rich! I’m getting rich! This is more than five million in modern times!
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed, opened the box without hesitation, and flipped through it.
The banknotes of the Dayan Dynasty are divided into official and private banknotes. The smallest denomination is twelve taels, and the largest is one thousand taels. However, small towns like theirs generally do not have Qianliang banknotes. This stack is all one hundred taels.
The sheet is about one-third the size of an A4 paper, filled with black and red words and covered with various seals.
Tang Shiyue gave him 500 taels of silver notes and 60 taels of silver ingots, which was the 10% agreed upon in advance.
Qi Jing looked at her, her expression was calm, and she obviously thought it was natural. Qi Jing calmly accepted half of it, and pushed the three hundred taels back: "Buy your Zizhi."
Tang Shiyue thought for a while, nodded, and put the three cards back into the box.
Although the banknote was not heavy, it was still easy to see when a large stack of paper was placed on his body. Tang Shiyue thought for a while, only hid the about forty taels of broken silver, and gave him the box: "The rest
, can you keep it safe for me?"
Qi Jing frowned and looked at her: "Why?"
She looked up at him, and he said seriously: "It's not that I don't want to help, but you actually trust me?"
Tang Shiyue smiled: "You shouldn't be able to get this little money into your eyes."
Qi Jing raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "I am very poor and my family has no food left."
Tang Shiyue also said seriously: "Although some people have no money, they are high-ranking, and some people have a lot of money, but they will worry about a penny. I believe I will not misjudge the person."
Their eyes met, and after a long while, Qi Jing took the box and said, "Okay."
Tang Shiyue beamed instantly, stood up on tiptoes and patted his shoulder: "Thank you, Ajing! From today on, we are brothers."
Brother? He lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who hit him on the chest just above his head. She was as thin as a bean sprout. She was so small. How could she still be a brother?
Qi Jing took a long breath, nodded reluctantly, and then turned away silently.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Then I'm going to leave. What are your plans?"
Qi Jing said in a deep voice: "The house is burned down. I'm going to let him stay here for a few days. By the way," he pointed to the basket on his back: "The medicine you want is in it, as well as a small jar of ointment. You can go home.
Apply it too, it should be better than the powder here."
Tang Shiyue just nodded, looked at little Qiyang still sleeping, then went out with the basket on her back, told the village doctor, and took Xiao Yao'er's hand back home.
Many people greeted her and asked questions along the way, until they reached the door of the old house. Tang Guihua heard the sound and ran out, asking aggressively: "Where is Qi Xiaolang?"
She went there with the food basket at noon, but it was all empty. Tang Shiyue ignored her lazily and just said: "I haven't seen it before." He pushed the door open and went in, closing the courtyard door behind him.
Tang Guihua said angrily: "You shameless girl, what are you capable of? How dare you talk to me like that! You are still living in my house! You can only live in it if I tell you to live in it. If I don't tell you to live in it, you can live in it."
You have to get out of here!"
Tang Shiyue said: "First, grandma rented this house to us, and took the money in front of Second Uncle Tang and Fourth Uncle Tang. Second..." She showed a smile: "There are people coming to the village doctor's place every day.
When people go there, do you think it will take long for the news to reach their ears if you jump around and curse in the streets?"
Tang Guihua choked suddenly and stared at her like a chicken being strangled by the neck. She actually remained silent, then turned around and left.
Tang Shiyue clicked her tongue and returned to the house. When Wang saw the two of them, she sharply scolded: "You still know how to come back!"
There were a lot of troubles as soon as he came back. Tang Shiyue was a little annoyed and said coldly: "We didn't expect to come back! Yao'er got sick and narrowly escaped death. I also got seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed for two days.
Cot, no, I still have medicine in my hand." She raised the basket and said, "Does Auntie also think that we can't come back? That's why you don't even show your face?"
Mrs. Wang suddenly choked and stared at her. Tang Shiyue said: "The doctor told me to stay in bed and rest. I will have to trouble my grandma to take care of me tomorrow."
She thought that Mr. Wang would be sarcastic again and accuse her of being unfilial. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang remained silent. When she got up early the next morning, Mr. Wang actually made breakfast for the first time!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Tang Shiyue remained calm and did not really lie down for a whole day. She boiled water, washed her hair, wiped her body, changed clothes, and asked Xiao Yao'er to help her apply ointment. Then she went to a small wine shop and bought five jars per pound.
of shochu. Then he went to the mountains and picked a basket full of sand fruits.
There are a lot of sand fruits on Jubao Mountain. The sand fruits are mild in nature and sweet in taste. She planned to make a sand fruit wine to try first, but because she had not used a wine with such a low alcohol count, she had to slowly try out the specific ratio.
become.
This recipe is for nourishing the kidneys, nourishing the heart, and strengthening the vitality and replenishing qi. It is a relatively common and popular type of wine. Qi Jing was very thoughtful in her work. She mashed all the medicinal materials according to her instructions and wrapped them separately.
Tang Shiyue picked out the smooth and unbroken ones, washed them, sucked away the raw water, removed the core and sliced them, then combined the slices of sand fruit and the mashed Chinese medicine in a certain proportion and put them into the wine, just because
Without a scale, the portion size would not be accurate. I would have to buy a scale and a medicine jar later.
The next step is to reach the "finishing point" that Grandpa Du said.
She still remembered that the white-haired old man had a smile like an old naughty boy at that time. He said that when it was passed down before, this step was called "flavor enhancement", but after he improved these recipes, he changed them
This step is now called "pointing the eye". Once you learn this step, you can change the recipe at will. But if you don't do this step well, the result will be a mixture of Chinese medicine, sweetness, and sourness, instead of like now.
Just like a well-brewed wine, it is completely integrated into one body, sweet and mellow.
Tang Shiyue carefully sealed the jar. Generally, after seven to fifteen days, the jar can be opened to taste the wine.
After a busy day, Tang Shiyue felt a little too lazy to get up the next morning. Unexpectedly, Wang made breakfast again. When the two sisters got up and had breakfast, Wang said: "Today, you accompany me to the town for a visit."
Come on." There was no doubt in his tone.
Tang Shiyue lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I don't feel well, so I won't go."
Wang said: "Let's take the Chen family's mule cart! I won't tire you!"
She said, "No money."
Mrs. Wang choked for a moment, and then she said: "My mother is rich!"
Tsk! Are you rich again now? Tang Shiyue said slowly, "I'm very tired. I think I'm seriously ill. I want to go to the doctor today. Since I have money, I can go by myself."
, or ask Yaoer to accompany you."
"You!" Mrs. Wang's patience was exhausted and she stood up and shouted: "Why are you such a naughty child! My mother told you to go! You have to go! Who is telling you such nonsense!"
Tang Shiyue looked at her with a half-smile, but she lowered her head and said, "Since I think my life is not as important as accompanying you to the town, how can I not go?"
She stood up and said, "Let's go." (To be continued)
