While Li Yang was deep in thought, Su Qianying, who had gone to do some work, finally hurried back.
She looked at the empty stall and suddenly said:
"Where's the wine? Why is there no more!"
"All sold..." Li Yang smiled and told Su Meiqin about buying wine, but he didn't mention Li Tianqing's trouble, and then said with a smile:
"The wine sold this time made a lot of money. Let's go buy something. It happens to be the beginning of summer soon. Let's also buy some food for the next festival."
Su Qianying was also very happy that Li Yang could sell the wine so smoothly and at such a high price, and immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, then go buy some. Didn't you say you wanted to eat dumplings before?"
"Let's go buy some flour and some meat, and then go back and make dumplings for you..."
"You also have to buy some eggs. Eat them at the beginning of summer, so you don't get summer rot in summer..."
"Dumplings, I haven't eaten them for a long time!" Li Yang subconsciously licked his lips.
I couldn't help but recall that on the first day Su Qianying moved into his house, the first meal she cooked was pork and cabbage dumplings.
It was the most delicious thing Li Yang had ever eaten after he became blind. Even now, he can still think of the smell of those dumplings.
Soon, the two of them bought all the ingredients for making dumplings, and then went to buy some rice and noodles.
But in the end, he bought a big bag of round-grain glutinous rice, weighing 50 kilograms.
This made Su Qianying a little confused, and she couldn't help but asked in confusion:
"Li Yang, why did you buy so much glutinous rice?"
"It's used to make wine." Li Yang said with a smile.
"Brewing wine?" Su Qianying frowned and said doubtfully: "But you are blind, how can you make wine?"
Li Yang spread his hands and said with a helpless smile: "I'm just blind, not that my hands are crippled."
"I'm very familiar with everything at home, so making wine is not a problem at all."
"I didn't make wine before. Firstly, I didn't have the capital. Secondly, because of Li Tianqing's troubles, I couldn't sell it. Now that I have the capital and sales, I have to give it a try!"
"Is it possible that I will rely on you to support me for the rest of my life?"
Su Qianying thought it right and didn't say anything more.
Just at this moment, Li Yang saw a medicine stall nearby, so he walked over and picked out a few medicinal materials.
"Why do you want to buy medicinal materials?" Su Qianying asked in surprise when she saw this.
Li Yang smiled, and while taking the medicinal materials packed by the stall owner, he explained to Su Qianying:
"The next thing I want to brew is a secret recipe medicinal wine, and I need to add some medicinal materials to it."
Regarding wine making, Su Qianying was blinded, so she simply stopped asking any more questions.
At this moment, Li Yang suddenly thought of using a sewing needle to perform acupuncture on Zhang Xiumei, and asked the stall owner:
"Do you have any silver needles for sale here?"
"Silver needle?" The stall owner raised his head and looked at Li Yang with surprise:
"You want to buy a silver needle?"
Li Yang nodded: "Well, I want to buy a set for collection."
The stall owner blinked twice, then suddenly turned around, pulled out a wooden box from an old plastic box, opened it, and handed it to Li Yang:
"That's a coincidence. I happen to have a set here, but this set of silver needles is old. If you want it, I'll sell it to you cheaper, 300."
Li Yang looked at the silver needles of different lengths inside the box in surprise. He originally just asked with the intention of trying, but he didn't expect that there were actually them.
Moreover, although the set of silver needles in front of me is not new, each one is as thin as a hair and the workmanship is exquisite. 300 yuan is simply not worth it.
Li Yang immediately paid for the silver needle without even thinking about it.
After using this set of silver needles, it will be much easier if you encounter medical practitioners to treat illnesses in the future.
At this time, the van back to the village finally arrived. Without Li Tianqing and others causing trouble, Li Yang and Su Qianying got on the bus smoothly.
It was already evening when we returned to the village.
Su Qianying rested for a while and then went into the kitchen to make dumplings.
Li Yang, on the other hand, was very precious. After putting away the set of silver needles, he went to the small house alone and took out a big steamer from inside.
This large steamer made entirely of fir wood is half a person tall and can steam 30 kilograms of rice at a time.
Such a large steamer is a must-have for every household in Taojiu Village, and is specially used to steam grains for making wine.
This one from Li Yang's family has not been used for three years, but it is not damaged. It is just that the wood has dried and shrunk, and the gaps where the rivets are connected have become much larger. As long as it is soaked in water for one night, it will return to normal.
After soaking the wooden steamer in the homemade pool in the yard, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I was planning to clean up other brewing tools and prepare for brewing tomorrow, when the dilapidated courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.
A young man with yellow hair dyed on his head, wearing jeans and a floral shirt with his shirt unbuttoned, looking like the most handsome young man in the world, walked in casually and said carelessly:
"Li Yang, you're at home! That's just right. I have something to ask you for help."
"I heard that you made 3,000 yuan from selling wine today. You have no use for it anyway, so why not lend it to me first?"
When Li Yang saw this person, his brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
This person's name is Li Chenglong, and he is his cousin, but they are already separated by two rooms, so the relationship is not considered close.
Moreover, Li Chenglong was idle all day long and was one of Li Tianqing's henchmen. When Li Yang couldn't see, he always liked to tease him for fun.
For example, they tricked him into falling into the river in the middle of winter. Although the water was not deep, it scared him quite a lot.
He even went to his house to steal money. If he couldn't steal the money, he took the food with him, which almost caused Li Yang to starve to death.
Because of these things, the two of them completely fell out.
Unexpectedly, he would actually ask to borrow money now. This really made Li Yang laugh angrily and refused directly:
"No borrowing."
When Li Chenglong heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly and he snorted coldly:
"Li Yang, this is boring! Let's not mention that we are cousins. It is natural to help each other."
"Just say that when your parents passed away, your family couldn't harvest the rice, so our family helped you harvest it. Now that you have money and don't lend it to me for emergency relief, what do you call this?"
"This is called ungratefulness!"
"You still have the nerve to mention this?"
Li Yang's face was as gloomy as water, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Back then, when my parents passed away and their bones were still cold, you deceived me into blindness and took the two or three thousand kilograms of mature rice that my parents planted in the fields as your own."
"My uncle came to your house to help me beg for rice, but you refused to tell me and even injured my uncle. In the end, the village came forward to put pressure on you, so you reluctantly returned me less than 100 kilograms of rice."
"Now, you actually turn around and say that your family is helping me harvest rice and you want me to remember this kindness. Why are you so shameless?"
