Chapter 14, buy fish fry and save a small treasury by the way

The next day, Li's mother and Li's father borrowed a carriage to go to the commune, and sent meat to their grandfather's house.

Li Ya had nothing to do at home, so he went to the third master's house. Li Ya has a good memory, and he studies very hard, and the third grandfather is very satisfied with Li Ya's progress, so the third master is very relaxed when teaching Li Ya. Li Ya himself thinks it's normal, not only does he want to learn, but he also spends a lot more time than others.

The three grandfathers selected only two of the people to study medicine with him were fourteen years old, and they all had a foundation accumulated over the years. Otherwise, if you let the people who go to the land to earn work spend so much time to learn, not to mention the efficiency, anyway, people still have to earn work and eat. Therefore, the last two eldest children are the grandsons of the third master's own family, others have no chance to get close to the water, and adults will not deliberately teach their children to learn medicine, and they don't know much.

Next, the third master began to teach Li Ya to concoct medicinal materials, most of them can be processed simply, some need to be dried in the shade, some need to be steamed and boiled, some need to be burned with fire, and some are fried in a pot, this is not complicated, some of the most complex medicinal materials have to be processed several times, and the time span is very large, Li Ya really doesn't know how to invent these methods of processing medicinal materials.

Concocted medicinal materials need to be operated by hands, so the third master asked Li Ya to memorize the human body acupoint map. The Li family's medical skills and medication are the most important, and acupuncture only accounts for a small part of it.

In his previous life, Li Ya basically did not use traditional Chinese medicine, and his view of traditional Chinese medicine was not so good, but now that his study is gradually deepening, Li Ya feels that traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are similar, in addition to being prepared by chemical methods, Western medicine is also extracted from plants and animals, such as the once famous cinchona cream, which is extracted from the cinchona tree, that is to say, the way of processing is different, the way of use is different, and that's it. Of course, the fact is not so simple, because Western medicine is easy to use after processing and extraction, and the doctor who learns can quickly see a doctor and prescribe prescriptions, unlike traditional Chinese medicine for more than ten or twenty years, who has the patience to do so? Not to say that it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, that is, to study for ten or twenty years to eat, to get married and have children, to support a family, so there will be few people proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and most of the people who are proficient are elderly people.

It was almost noon when Li's father and mother came back, but fortunately, Li Ya had expected it, and when they came back, Li Ya's meal was about to be ready.

Li's mother carried the flour and wheat bran in the basket into the house, and Li's father carried a pig cage in one hand, put the two little pigs into the pigsty, washed his hands, drank some water, and went to return the carriage. Mother Li also scooped out four or five catties of flour and put it in a porcelain basin and took it to the second uncle's house.

This meal Li Ma ate very comfortably, in the past, no matter how tired she was when she came back, she had to brush the pot and cook, although she had long been used to it, and now she can eat when she goes home, and she instantly feels tired and gone.

Li Ya asked his father, "Dad, how many mushrooms have you sold?"

Dad Li said while eating: "One hundred and forty-six yuan! Mushrooms and rabbit skins were sold for a total of one hundred and forty-six yuan!"

Li's mother said: "In previous years, the family couldn't pick up much, almost sold for twenty or thirty, but this year, my family sold so much at once, I still can't believe it." I will sell it in the county tomorrow, and I will sell it early. "Mama Li calculates that there are now about 400 yuan in the family, and 400 yuan can build three big tile houses. If you sell the mushroom rabbit skin at home, you will need two or three hundred yuan, and this year has made several years of money.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival, in order to commemorate Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival has customs such as eating zongzi and dragon boat racing, but this year, it is great to eat a dumpling. Dragon boat racing? That's feudal dross.

Li's mother got up early and started to be busy, just for a dumpling meal at noon. Dough, rolling, filling, handmade, of course, need to start preparing early.

Li Ya saw that his mother had started to prepare early, and also went up to help, but let his mother drive him away, and Li Ya had to go outside to play.

Walking on the road, the first person he met asked Li Ya if it was delicious to eat meat? Li Ya had to nod and say, "It's delicious." "It's really delicious, even if the pig's head goes into the water, it is delicious in this era, and how many people can't eat it if they want to.

All the way to the place where the members often set up their homes, no one was there. Li Ya is not surprised, who came over in the morning. As Li Ya walked, he saw the uncle with a few people in the car, and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Uncle said: "Go to the county to buy fish fry, and it just so happens that you are also with you." ”

Li Ya didn't want to go: "I want to go, but my mother is making dumplings." ”

Uncle grabbed Li Ya and said, "Tell someone to talk to your mother, take a walk, and get in the car quickly." While talking, Li Ya had to say hello to the figure in the distance, and called to his house to say that he and his uncle went to the county to buy fish fry.

As soon as Li Ya walked out of the village in the carriage, he felt that the carriage was shaking badly, and his buttocks were particularly uncomfortable, so he hurriedly got off the lane: "This road is too bad, it hurts to shake my buttocks, so I still walk first, and then come up and sit when I am tired." "Sixty miles away, Li Ya can't keep walking, he has to come back if he goes.

All the way to noon, the people in the four carriages finally saw the outline of the county seat, and when they entered the county seat, everyone looked east and west, as if the fatigue of the carriage just now was pretended. The two of them wanted to go to the department store to buy something, Li Ya went to have a look, and the uncle took someone to buy fish fry.

Li Ya had just walked a few steps when he saw the sign of the acquisition station, and Li Ya said to the other two: "Second uncle, fifth uncle, I'll go to the acquisition station to see what things to collect, and I can find them to sell." ”

The second uncle and the fifth uncle told Li Ya a few words before continuing to buy things. Li Ya entered the courtyard and saw that there was no one, so he hurriedly took out a total of three baskets of mushrooms, and then carried a basket into the door. The staff inside felt the light dim, and when they looked up, they saw a man carrying a large basket in. A staff member in his forties asked, "Selling mushrooms?"

This staff member has a sharp nose and can smell the fragrance of mushrooms from this distance. Li Ya put down the basket and hurriedly nodded: "Uncle, you are so powerful, you are worthy of being a revolutionary comrade who has been fighting on the front line of the revolution for a long time, you are red and specialized, we should all learn from you." "Li Ya also fought hard in order to sell mushrooms, and this sycophant was filmed.

The uncle obviously had never heard of such a level of sycophancy, and said modestly with a little blush: "They are all serving the people, and everyone learns from each other and learns from each other." ”

Li Ya continued to pat himself on the back and said: "Chairman Mao said to study hard and make progress every day, which is not only to encourage students to study hard, but also applies to comrades who have participated in revolutionary work. There are still two baskets outside, and I'm going to move in. ”

When Li Ya sold the mushrooms, Li Ya suddenly became a big sum. With more than 300 yuan, in this county, Li Ya is a big money.

Since he had money, Li Ya also walked to the department store, planning to buy something that didn't require a ticket. Li Ya entered the department store, and when he turned around, he saw the second uncle and the fifth uncle, hiding from the two, and Li Ya bought things before waiting for them outside.

After a while, the two of them came out, saw Li Ya outside, took out two candies to give to Li Ya, and when they went in, they only bought fruit candy and one thing to eat. Li Ya shook the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "I bought a lot, I can share it with the little doll when I go back." ”

The three of them carried their things separately and walked to the agreed place. The fish nursery of the county aquatic products company is on the other side of the city, and Li Ya and the others just need to wait for the uncle and them to come back on the way into the city just now. The carriage with the fish fry may not be able to enter the city, and can only circle around the county seat for half a circle. When the uncle came back, the uncle was full of excitement and said: "When the aquatic company heard that we were buying fish fry, it was very enthusiastic, and not only sold us carp and grass carp fry at a low price, but also sent a lot of other fish species, saying that they were brought back for testing. ”

Li Ya smiled and asked, "Uncle, are you asking if there are carnivorous fish?"

Uncle smiled: "I asked, it's not either." They also knew that fish farming was afraid of carnivorous fish, but they didn't give it to us. However, they gave us a lot of soft-shelled turtle fry, saying that the soft-shelled turtle was very delicious. ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "The soft-shelled turtle is delicious, and you can also raise it casually, in the paddy field or in the ditch." Moreover, the soft-shelled turtle moves slowly, and it is not easy to eat fish. ”

The fruitful group talked as they walked, and only the horses pulling the cart did not go so willingly, and often had to be frightened and frightened with whips before they continued to walk.
