Chapter 65: Chilblains
Of course, Ye Qingtang could answer Qiao Jieyi well and soothe her emotions. But just like this, she made her face the truth more and more.
After the separation, Qiao Jieyi seems to be free. Without the burdens of the past, she is certainly living a much happier and more comfortable life. But this does not mean that she can relax. There is still a long time to come.
[This Ye Qingtang is really cold-blooded. Wouldn’t she try to appease other people’s emotions? 】
[Actually, I can quite understand Ye Qingtang. After all, she can’t guarantee anyone, so of course she doesn’t dare to make big claims.]
"Sorry, I lost my temper." Ye Qingtang's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Qiao Jieyi, but they also completely woken her up.
Qiao Jieyi calmed down instantly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and forced a smile: "I was just too happy, so I forgot about it. Sister Qingtang, please don't be angry."
"If you feel unhappy, you can cry out. This is your freedom. There is no need to hold it in your heart." Ye Qingtang smiled and shook her head. As soon as she took Qiao Jieyi's hand, she immediately noticed the injury on her hand.
"Your hands..." Looking at Qiao Jieyi's hands with a frown, Ye Qingtang felt heartbroken. Because of the winter, she had a lot of frostbite on her hands, and her hands were extremely scary.
[Oh my gosh, if it weren’t for Ye Qingtang, I wouldn’t have noticed that the frostbite on Qiao Jieyi’s hands was so serious? It looks so scary!]
[My hands are like this, but Qiao Jieyi is still working hard and has never complained about it. I really feel for her!]
[Only those who have suffered from frostbite know how painful she is. Qiao Jieyi is really not as weak as she looks on the face. Even with this strength, it is better to use it on those who bully her.]
That's right, how great would it be if her energy were used on the Qiao family and Yu Dashan?
When Ye Qingtang saw the barrage, he couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Jieyi retracted her hand almost subconsciously. She was afraid that her hand would scare Ye Qingtang, and she didn't want to worry her over such trivial matters.
Qiao Jieyi suffered from chilblains almost every winter. She had to work hard in the cold weather. Sometimes the scabs on her hands would just grow and become worn out again. It was normal for her hands to be dripping with blood.
Although the pain in his hands was unavoidable, Qiao Jieyi was used to it and did not want to delay Qiao Qingyi's business because of this.
"It's just frostbite. It grows almost every year. It's not a problem." Qiao Jieyi smiled and shook his head. He hid his hand in his sleeve and refused to take it out despite saying anything: "Don't worry, I will never delay the shop.
Business.”
"This is not a matter of delaying business. Your hand is injured like this. It must be very painful, right? It's true. I didn't even notice such an obvious injury. I feel ashamed of you!"
Ye Qingtang looked at Qiao Jieyi distressedly. Seeing her trying her best to hide her hands, her face was filled with guilt.
She had forgotten that although Jie Qingyi made money and improved Qiao Jieyi's quality of life, she was still living in embarrassment.
Coupled with the whole day of embroidery, contact with cold water is inevitable when returning home. The frostbite will only become more serious. Although Ye Qingtang guessed that Qiao Jieyi would suffer from chilblain, he did not expect it to be so serious.
However, Qiao Jieyi's visit also gave Ye Qingtang a business opportunity. Qiao Jieyi was not the only one in this town to suffer from chilblains. He just took this opportunity to make some chilblain ointment, which I believe will be a big hit.
"You gave me a job to support my family and allowed me to get away from that kind of family. Why can't you feel sorry for me for this little thing? On the contrary, it was me who delayed the business of the shop."
Shaking his head helplessly, Qiao Jieyi just felt that having his hands like this would delay the work in the shop.
Zhang Xiu Niang was simply there to help, so the injuries on their hands did not delay their understanding of Qing Yi's business.
Qiao Jieyi was already apologetic, but now that she heard Ye Qingtang apologize to her, she was even more ashamed. How could she live up to her apology?
"What are you talking about? You are the one who understands Qing's wishes. The embroiderer's hands need to be well taken care of. Listen to me and don't do any more embroidery in the near future."
Ye Qingtang took Qiao Jieyi's hand, looked at her seriously, and gave her a ban on embroidery.
These hands were like this. It was difficult to hold chopsticks, let alone an embroidery needle. She felt particularly distressed when she thought of Qiao Jieyi enduring pain every day to embroider.
Not only Qiao Jieyi, Ye Qingtang also asked Zhang Xiu Niang to have a good rest. After giving instructions, she hurried to the drug store, grabbed some needed medicine, crushed it according to the proportion, and mixed it with medicinal oil.
In fact, the preparation of frostbite ointment is not difficult, and can even be described as simple. It is the ratio of the medicinal materials that requires strict calculation.
However, Ye Qingtang was a Chinese medicine major in his previous life, and it was just a frostbite ointment, so it was not difficult for him. In just half an hour, she had prepared four small jars and buried them in the snow at the door.
When the ointment in the jar solidifies, it will be ready for use. Ye Qingtang plans to deliver it to Qiao Jieyi and Zhang Xiuniang the next day, and the smoked fish to be handed over to Uncle Li is almost ready.
Shangguan Juyu had just helped them, and Ye Qingtang planned to prepare some smoked fish to send over as a thank you gift to her.
Ye Qingtang believed that the young Shangguan fish would like such a special thank you gift.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingtang immediately went to Uncle Li's house in anticipation, intending to check the quality of the smoked fish and whether it was ready for consumption.
When Uncle Li saw Ye Qingtang coming, he took out the smoked fish in despair before she could say anything. Seeing the excellent smoked fish on the table, the smile on Ye Qingtang's face was hidden.
Unable to live.
"Daughter-in-law of the Sima family, do you think I've cooked the fish well? I've smoked it carefully these past few days, and I've also tried a little, and the taste is nothing to say! Do you think it's good?"
Uncle Li looked at Ye Qingtang carefully, fearing that such a large amount of fish would be lost in his hands.
If he couldn't sell it for any money, Uncle Li could just guard the fish, which was better than having nothing to eat. But he really didn't want to take into account Ye Qingtang's expectations, and of course he still wanted to make money.
"The quality of this fish is very good. I will take it to a restaurant tomorrow to sell it. Please note the weight and I will pay you later."
Ye Qingtang really didn't expect that Uncle Li would handle the fish so well. Apart from being surprised, she was even more happy.
Spicy and sour fish can be sold for so much money, and Ye Qingtang is also very confident in these smoked fish. After saying that, he asked Uncle Li to weigh them and take them home.
