Chapter 21 Little Cousin

After being busy until noon, it’s time to eat.

The Su family used to have a dedicated cook before the collapse. After the collapse, the Su family cooked their own meals. The third aunt and her daughter Su Jinyun were mainly responsible for the kitchen. Because this time the cattle butcher brought more meat, and it would go bad if you don't eat it.

Although you can marinate it with salt, it won't last long. So for lunch, I made pork liver soup and stewed kidneys.

Third Yi Niang’s cooking skills are pretty good. She learned them at home before and often cooks. The meals she cooks are quite delicious. However, she didn’t have such an opportunity after losing her family. It’s not that she wasn’t allowed to cook, but that she didn’t have anything to give her.

She does.

Now I finally have a chance to show off my skills, and of course I worked hard to make several dishes. Of course, if there are delicious dishes, we can no longer eat rice bran steamed buns, and we can't let the apprentices eat white rice while the master and family eat it.

Wotou. Grandma Su now recognized that this young man had the ability to make money, so she asked Third Aunt to make rice for everyone to eat without adding rice bran.

Of course, the whole family enjoyed this meal and was very happy.

But after eating, Xiao Jinsong felt that this was too extravagant, so he went to Grandma Su and said, "Old lady, we can't waste it like this. Why don't we sell the meat? In exchange for money, we can pay for my husband to prepare for the exam."

.Although the provincial examination won’t be until August next year, we still have to save as much money as we can!”

After saying a few words, Mrs. Su nodded her head in agreement. At that moment, she decided to sell the remaining large intestines, the remaining kidneys, pork liver and pork belly for money, while the grains were not used for the time being.

It can be stored and can be worn and sold at any time.

The second aunt was responsible for the purchase, and the sales task was left to her.

When you leave the village and go down the mountain to the official road at the foot of the mountain, there are several wine restaurants, restaurants and inns, which are used for tipping for passers-by. The demand for meat is relatively high there, and nearby villagers kill pigs and sheep, and those who want to exchange small amounts can get it.

Then go sell it. Of course, for large quantities, you can go directly to the city to sell it, so you have more choices.

The second aunt was escorted by her apprentice Niu Shuitan. She left the village and went to a roadside hotel at the foot of the mountain. Most of the meat was exchanged for money. She only left a pair of pig livers for her uncle and his apprentice Niu Shuitan to make a tooth sacrifice together. She couldn't be a disciple.

If he took so much meat to prevent his son from eating meat, it would not be nice to tell him.

After I came back from exchanging money, I went to the old lady's place to settle the account, and then gave all the money to Su's mother. Part of the money was kept for daily expenses at home, and the rest was given to Su Jinsong to save for my uncle in the future.

Make the expense of rushing for exams.

However, they did not know that Su Jinsong had already made a further idea. If he failed to pass the provincial examination this time, he would donate a regular prisoner of the Imperial College so that his husband could study in the Imperial College.

Of course, this is just a good wish of hers. Judging from their current rate of making money, as long as Yaohulu keeps prohibiting Qiu Wuhen from collecting money for treating illnesses, he may not be able to earn these forty taels of silver in ten years, but in fact, in ten years

It's not too late, it's just three or four imperial examinations.

For lunch, the medicine shop was closed, and the family sat around the kitchen to eat.

Niu Shuitan knew the Su family. He was still young and felt a little embarrassed in front of a bunch of women, so he kept his head down while eating.

On the contrary, Su Jinsong, the master's wife, was very close to the apprentice. She picked up several pieces of meat for him and put them in his bowl. The beef water tank buzzed and said thank you to the master's wife.

Su Jinsong felt a little embarrassed. No one had ever called her that. She thought that one day her husband would become a high-ranking official and she would become a first-class wife. What would it be like when others call her a first-class wife?

Every time I think of this, I feel excited and full of strength, and my determination to save money becomes even stronger.

Just after breakfast, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door in the front yard. The cow water tank quickly put down the bowl and said, "I'll go!"

In the past, Su Jinyun, the youngest person who came, ran to open the door. Now that there is this apprentice, this matter is left to him.

Soon the cow water tank came back and said to Qiu Wuhen, "Fei Wutong is here to see his injury."

Fei Wutong is the grandson of Mr. Fei. Why is this grandson here, and he is here to see his injuries? This kid likes to play tricks on others. He deserves a beating. He can't really be beaten, right?

Qiu Wuhen brought the cow water tank to the front yard pharmacy and saw Fei Wutong sitting pitifully on a stool. There was a cut on his chin, but the wound was not serious.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiu Wuhen asked.

Fei Wutong said with a sad face: "My cousin and aunt came to visit me at home. Before we had breakfast, I praised my cousin and said, cousin, you are so beautiful, just like a flower! She ignored me, and I said, cousin, you are so beautiful.

Like a fairy grass, it only exists in the sky but never on the earth. She stood up and turned around and walked away. I chased after her and accidentally slipped and fell. She gnawed on the mud and broke her chin. Please show me."

Qiu Wuhen directed the cow water tank to debridement Fei Wutong, and then gave him medicine.

Fei Wutong was a 250-year-old. He paid the fee but did not leave. He sat down at Qiu Wuhen's desk and talked to Qiu Wuhen: "My little cousin is so beautiful. She always talked to me before.

Why did you suddenly ignore me today?"

Qiu Wuhen ignored him and turned his face aside.

Fei Wutong looked like he suddenly understood: "I understand. If you turn away, are you trying to tell me that I should be a quiet, handsome man?"

"You beautiful sister, you have such a bad mouth, please stay away from me!"

Fei Wutong quickly grabbed the stool under his buttocks and took a few steps back. He fanned himself, and it did stink. Then he remembered that he had eaten too much garlic before.

Sitting a few steps away, he continued to chat with Qiu Wuhen with a scowl on his face: "Brother, I have been thinking about this beautiful little cousin of mine, and I can't calm down in my heart. I don't even have the intention to study. My heart is completely disturbed by her.

Okay, although you are a son-in-law who is looked down upon by others, you are still a scholar after all. Please help me think about it, is there any way to calm me down?"

Qiu Wuhen said nothing, took a rag and started to wipe the table.

Fei Wutong watched him wiping the table and suddenly realized: "I understand! Do you use wiping the table to remind me of the Buddhist verse: The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently to prevent it from causing dust?"

Do you want me to let go of this mortal world?"

"Let your sister go. Didn't you see that I'm busy? Don't bother me here. The wound has been bandaged. Get out of here!"

Qiu Wuhen raised the rag.

Fei Wutong immediately ran out of the door like a little mouse.

You really deserve a beating! Our husband-in-law also has a temper.

At this time, a villager came to see a doctor, and Qiu Wuhen started to get busy. The villagers had no money to pay for the medicine, so some of them used eggs to pay for the medicine.

After the patient left, Qiu Wuhen took the eggs to the backyard to give to his wife. Eight girls from the Su family were talking in the main room. When they saw him coming in with the eggs, the third aunt was in charge of the kitchen and quickly asked her daughter Su Jinyun to come over and pick up the eggs.

At this moment, the cow water tank ran in and said to Qiu Wuhen: "Master, the teacher Linghu Ding is here, and he is carrying a lot of money."

Qiu Wuhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly turned around and ran to the pharmacy in the front yard. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged scholar, tall and thin, wearing a moon-white robe, with a chin beard that was blowing in the wind. He seemed to have a bit of an immortal spirit, with one hand behind his back
