Chapter 28 A good start

"Brother, drink the medicine." Li Mingzhi brought the medicine to Li Mingli, who fell ill after being exposed to the rain that day.

Li Mingli felt a headache at first and thought it would be fine if he took a nap, but did not tell anyone. Later, Li Mingzhi discovered that his third brother, who usually did not stay in bed, had been lying in bed and couldn't get up. When he went to call someone, he realized something was wrong. At that time, Li Mingli

I have developed a low fever and my head is dizzy.

Li Mingzhi hurriedly told Mr. Wang and asked Dr. Sun to come and see him. After giving him medicine, Li Mingli's fever subsided and he started to sweat.

It had been several days. Li Mingli felt that he didn't need to take the medicine anymore, and he refused to take the medicine himself. It was also because the medicine was really bitter.

Li Mingli looked at the bowl of medicine in front of him and kept swallowing his saliva. Just smelling the taste made his saliva boil. Wang's eyes flew over, and in the end Mingli had no choice but to swallow the bowl of medicine in one breath.

At this moment, in the county inn, Li Mingren was lying weakly on the bed, coughing from time to time.

"Brother Ming, I hired a child to take care of you for a few days. Just take good care of your health these days. Take it easy on the exam. It will be the same if you take the exam next year after you have recovered well." Liu Chengmin expressed concern at the side.

Li Mingren fell ill during the second exam. Before the exam, Li Mingren was too nervous. He stayed up late every day to review and had trouble sleeping at night. When he took the exam, he had a cold when he couldn't hold on. Li Mingren originally planned to persist.

I persisted, but I fainted from exhaustion during the third exam.

"Thank you Brother Liu. Please take care of Brother Liu these days. You can go and rest, cough." Li Mingren said weakly, his heart was broken to the extreme. If he wasn't exhausted now, Li Mingren would have wanted to jump into the river.

.

Li Mingren was destined not to be on the list without looking at his results this time. Liu Chengmin finally passed the county examination this time, but it was difficult to say it in front of Li Mingren for fear of irritating Li Mingren. Liu Chengmin and Li Mingren were classmates for three years.

I have been taking the county examination for two years. I know Li Mingren to a certain extent. After taking the examination for so many years, I have fallen into a corner and my body has collapsed.

"Hey~" Liu Chengmin sighed outside the door, fearing that Li Mingren would not be able to get through this time. "Keep an eye on Brother Mingren at all times, take good care of him, and tell me if you have anything," Liu Chengmin told the child beside him.

The child nodded: "Yes." Then he went in to take care of Li Mingren.

Li Mingren lay on the bed blankly, not talking, and only coughed twice occasionally. When it was time to drink the medicine, the child drank it without knowing what he was doing.

In the Lijia Village, in the Lijiatangwu, Wang sent Li Mingli to the town school early in the morning to inquire about the situation. According to past times, it has been several days since the results were released, and Li Mingren has not come back.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Li were anxiously waiting for the news to come back, "Mom, Dad, I went to ask my husband, and he said that my eldest brother still failed the exam this time, and he is sick now and is still recuperating in the county. My eldest brother's classmates are taking care of him.

Wait." Li Mingli hurried home and finished talking before he even sat down to take a sip of water.

"Hey, I don't know how the boss is doing." Wang said worriedly.

Zhao Yunlan said from the side: "Mom, sir, he said he is sick and there are classmates taking care of him, so let's wait for a while."

"Hey, I'm afraid the boss will lose his mind again this time." Old Man Li said from the side.

"Mom, Dad, when this is all done, I will go and pick up my husband."

"Mom knows that there are a lot of things at home, and now we have to be busy with business. Alas, my son is useless! It's all your fault."

"What are you talking about, mother? Let's hurry up and get the things we need tomorrow. I hope it won't rain again tomorrow." Zhao Yunlan changed the subject, not wanting to worry about Li Mingren's affairs anymore.

The rain has been falling and stopping for the past few days. Old Man Li goes to the fields every day to see if the wheat is grouting. He is worried that there will be too much rain! Old Man Li is worried to death. Fortunately, the bamboo rabbit made by Old Man Li has been sold.

More than a hundred articles, and then I made a bamboo rooster, which sold nearly two hundred articles, which relieved Old Man Li's melancholy a little.

After talking, the family went back to their room to rest. The next day, Zhao Yunlan went to buy some tables, chairs and benches.

The sweet potato noodles were almost ready, but there were only two tables and eight benches missing. There were not enough tables and chairs at home, so Zhao Yunlan had to go to the village to collect them. He asked some people who had more tables and chairs at home and asked Zhao Yunlan to take them at first.

Zhao Yunlan wanted to give him money no matter what, but in the end he couldn't resist Zhao Yunlan and had to accept Zhao Yunlan's money. Zhao Yunlan only said that he was going to the town to do some small business and said nothing more.

Zhao Yunlan also went to the village chief's house to borrow a cow. The village chief's cow did not go out to fetch people except for farming, so the cow was free during this period. Zhao Yunlan also moved the big stove at home to the town.

I ordered a small stove to boil medicine for Mr. Li.

When everything was ready, Old Man Li found someone to settle the matter, and Zhao Yunlan took the Li brothers and sisters and drove the ox cart to the town.

I have already spotted the stall in the town. It is the place where baskets were sold before. The vacant space there is large and convenient for placing tables and chairs.

Zhao Yunlan was glad that it didn't rain on the first day of setting up the stall, and the feeling of riding in the bullock cart was indeed much better than walking.

The four of them came to the town early, laid out things, made a path, boiled water, and started waiting for customers to be served.

Zhao Yunlan also took out the signboard that had been prepared earlier and wrote hot and sour noodles on it with charcoal and placed it next to it.

The number of people gradually increased, and everyone was curious about what hot and sour noodles were, but no one came to get a bowl. Li Mingli and his sisters were all anxious. They saw people buying from the food shops next to them one after another, but they did not open their own shop.

, the three of them were running around anxiously.

"You three brothers and sisters, stop standing there, come and sit down, and each of us will have a bowl of noodles." Zhao Yunlan asked the brothers and sisters to sit down.

Zhao Yunlan quickly prepared the noodles, and the taste slowly spread, attracting passers-by to stop. As soon as the brothers and sisters started eating the noodles, they forgot about their worries and became more and more enthusiastic.

"What is this hot and sour rice noodle? Give me a bowl to try." A big man passed by and saw that the Li brothers and sisters ate so deliciously that he couldn't help but have a bowl.

Zhao Yunlan hurriedly stood up, "Okay, sir, please wait. The empty table has just been wiped. Just take a rest, drink some water and wait for a while."

Li Mingli stood up and poured a bowl of water for the big man. The brothers and sisters hurriedly finished eating and cleared the table.

Zhao Yunlan quickly cooked the noodles. The big man took a bite, and then another bite and said, "The taste is getting more and more addictive the more I eat it. This hot and sour noodles are soft and glutinous, and the texture is good."

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "My guest, just enjoy the meal."

Now one after another, customers came to eat hot and sour noodles. Those who could eat it praised the taste. Those who couldn't eat it didn't say anything, they just stopped coming.

On the first day, everyone was looking for a novelty, and so many people came to eat that the sweet potato noodles they brought were not enough. "Guest officer, come back tomorrow, the noodles are all sold out today." Zhao Yunlan greeted those who wanted to eat noodles.

customer.

The Li brothers and sisters were busy clearing the tables and chairs and washing dishes. It was not convenient to use water to set up stalls here. You had to walk some distance to get a well. Today, Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi took turns to fetch water.

After packing up here, Zhao Yunlan took his brothers and sisters to move things to Buzhuang. Earlier, he told shopkeeper Wu that he wanted to rent a room in the backyard of Buzhuang to store his things. Otherwise, he would use the village chief’s house every day.

After all, it was not convenient to carry so many things in an ox cart. But shopkeeper Wu refused to ask for money no matter what.

"Shopkeeper Wu, the third brother has driven the car to the backyard. I'd like to ask you guys to open the door. This is the vermicelli I brought for you. You can take it home and ask the cook to soak it in water until it softens. Then boil it and you can eat it.

." Zhao Yunlan was talking to shopkeeper Wu.

"Mrs. Zhao, you are so polite, so thank you. My wife really liked the fans you sent over last time, and my little daughter also said they were delicious and wanted to meet you." Shopkeeper Wu greeted you.

"Come here, let me tell you about the business situation of Touhua."

Zhao Yunlan followed shopkeeper Wu to the main room in the backyard, while Li Mingzhi and Li Mingmei went to the backyard to help put things away.

"Ms. Zhao, the sales of flowerheads are pretty good these days. All the goods that were rushed out in the past few days are sold out. Fortunately, my people here have been rushing out to make them. Otherwise, they were almost sold out yesterday, and even the cloth shop

Our cloth business has improved a lot." Shopkeeper Wu looked proud.

"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Wu." Zhao Yunlan smiled and cupped his hands.

"No, we should be happy together." The two of them complimented each other.

The two talked about the follow-up matters. Seeing that the weather was getting worse again, Zhao Yunlan hurriedly left and went home.
