"Well, that's pretty much it." After setting the last dish, Xie Hong nodded, he didn't do it for a long time, but the craftsmanship was not pulled down.

"Ah, that's a lot of dishes!" Qing'er smiled happily.

Xie Hong turned around with a smile and said to the little girl who had just entered the door: "How is it, it's very rich, right?" ”

"Hmm!" The little girl nodded vigorously, a pair of big eyes looked at a table of dishes without blinking, the braised pork just now already made her feel amazing, this moment of effort, Brother Hong actually made so many dishes, it looks delicious, and it is also very fragrant.

Perhaps the aroma was too tempting, and the little girl's stomach made a protesting sound. Ah, it's so embarrassing, Qing'er's face turned red.

"Qing'er is hungry, you serve the meal first, and when I go to help my mother get up, we will have dinner." Xie Hong looked outside, the sky was already dark, no wonder the little girl was hungry. Xie Hong was a little embarrassed, patronizing to cook more, forgetting the time for a while, and hurriedly greeted.

Seeing a table of food, Xie Mu was also stunned, and said to Qing'er in surprise: "Qing'er, you made this?" ”

Seeing that the little girl hesitated and didn't dare to speak, Xie Hong hurriedly spoke and said, "Mother, these are all made by children." ”

"Hong'er, what did you do? When did you learn to cook? "Mother Xie is a little incredulous, her son has always only been able to study, why has he ever been in the kitchen? She had never seen many of the dishes on this table, and she didn't know how Xie Hong made them.

"Well, there are also food books in the books that the child reads, and the book "Qi Min Yao Shu" left by his father is. I also saw it by chance, and I tried it anyway, but I didn't expect it to be really successful. "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there are good recipes in the book, this question is not easy to answer, Xie Hong simply pushed it into the book, anyway, Niang and Qing'er don't know how to read, so they won't be investigated.

Besides, this is not completely nonsense, China has a long history, and there are still a lot of food books, such as: "Huainan Wang Shijing" and "Four Seasons Rentier" are all original recipes, the most famous of which is the Northern Wei Dynasty's Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Technique".

The book has a total of 92 articles, of which 25 are related to food and cooking, including making koji, making wine, making salt, making sauce, making vinegar, making tempeh, making rice, making fish, making preserved meat, making cheese, making dishes and snacks. There are about 300 kinds of food and dishes listed.

Xie Hong was quite interested in cooking in his previous life, and he had browsed relevant information, and it was just right to use it as an excuse at this time.

"Alas, I only hate my mother's illness for dragging you down. Sage Yun: Junzi Yuanyu cooks, Hong'er, now that you have an official body, you still don't have to do anything about the kitchen in the future, and when your mother is better, you can cook. The old lady accepted the excuse, but she was still angry about Xie Hong's cooking.

"Mother, don't worry, just leave the kitchen to Qing'er, Qing'er learned a lot from Brother Hong today." Qing'er felt that she had made great progress today, and hurriedly took over this important errand.

"Yes, Qing'er is very smart, and she will rely on Qing'er in the future. Mother, don't talk about those, let's eat first, the dishes are going to be cold. Looking at the little girl's serious expression, Xie Hong smiled.

"Okay, okay, eat first." Seeing that a pair of children were well-behaved and sensible, Xie's mother smiled very happily.

"Mother, you drink soup." Xie Hong first filled a bowl of relatively light meatball soup for his mother, and when he was purchasing, he just thought about eating meat, but he ended up making heavy meat dishes, and he was afraid that the old man would not be able to eat it in his illness, so he made an extra soup.

"It's delicious, Brother Hong, what is this?" The table full of dishes made Qing'er a little dizzy, and asked while tasting it one by one.

"This is called fish-flavored shredded pork, isn't it?" Xie Hong himself felt that this dish was much worse than he remembered, and there was no way, the dogwood instead of chili pepper must taste much worse, who let the chili pepper not be introduced to China at this time.

"Hmm, sizzle...... It's delicious..."The little girl doesn't eat too spicy, and there is no chili, which still makes her tongue a little numb, and her little face is red.

Looking at his mother's smile and Qing'er's happy appearance, Xie Hong felt happier than eating meat, and making this family happy may be the first mission that God let me cross.

The meal was also enjoyable, the family was pressed by the pressure of life for too long, and suddenly saw hope, and the mood was very good, even Xie's mother ate a lot more than usual. Eating happily, the time was a little longer, and by the time Xie Hong and Qing'er served Xie Mu to sleep and sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, it was already in the sky.

"Brother Hong, will our family get better in the future?" In Qing'er's memory, life has always been hard, and the sudden happiness makes the little girl a little unbelievable.

Xie Hong smiled: "Of course, we will eat like this every day in the future, okay?" ”

Qing'er wrinkled her cute little nose, shook her head and said: "That's not good, my mother has always said that you should be thrifty, and today Brother Hong has spent a lot of silver, but you can't do it every day." "In the past, Qing'er went to buy vegetables, and the little girl was still very clear about the price of vegetables.

"Don't worry, there is a lot of silver today, it can be used for a long time, and I still have a salary, five stones and five buckets in a month."

"It's still not possible, my mother said that Brother Hong will use a lot of money for the imperial examination in the future, and I will have to treat my mother." The little girl said seriously, looking very cute.

"Got it, little butler." Qing'er's words reminded Xie Hong and made him a little worried.

"My mother has been sick for a long time, I have seen the two medical centers in this county, and they are not good, it seems that the doctors in this small place are still not successful, I will go to the yamen tomorrow to inquire and see where there are good doctors nearby."

Xie Hong, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, knew one, Li Shizhen. It's useless to know, out of admiration for the most famous miracle doctor in history, he also knew about Li Shizhen's information in his previous life, and he clearly remembers that Li Shizhen was born in the twelfth year of Zhengde, and when the miracle doctor grows up and can cure diseases, Xie Hong himself will become an old man, not to mention Xie Mu.

Seeing that Xie Hong suddenly frowned, Qing'er was a little worried and asked, "Brother Hong, do you ask a doctor for a lot of money?" ”

"Maybe...... Considering the doctor's question, Xie Hong replied absentmindedly, the two medical centers in Beizhuang County are indeed very expensive, and most of the dozen taels of silver that the Xie family sold land were put in. Don't look at a few hundred taels of silver is a lot of money for ordinary people, if you go to Xuanfu, or even the capital to invite a famous doctor, it may not be enough.

"I have to make some more money." After thinking for a while, Xie Hong sighed again, no wonder people say that they are not afraid of poverty, but only of illness, thinking of the medical expenses of the hospital in later generations, he couldn't help but sigh, the progress of human society is really slow.

"Then let's save some money in the future, and I don't know if those rouge and cloth can be returned." Xie Hong sighed for a long time, which made Qing'er's heart full of worries, thinking of ways to save money, and suddenly said after thinking for a while.

Hearing the little girl say this, Xie Hong patted her forehead, her own problem could be changed, and when she thought about it, she said it unconsciously. These things were originally pondered by themselves, but it was useless to say them in front of Qing'er, and it was plainly worrying, not to mention, it was not that there was no way to make money.

"Everything you buy is going to be used, and you haven't had new clothes for a long time! Don't worry about money, I have a way. "What a sensible girl, looking at those big clear eyes, Xie Hong's heart was full of warmth and pity.

"That'...... Brother Hong, Qing'er will sing to you. Qing'er tried hard to share Xie Hong's troubles, and proposed again.

"Okay."

When Xie Hong has nothing to do, he will also hum songs, and after Qing'er heard it, she felt that it was good to learn, but she learned a lot. Although the pop songs of the previous life seem a little strange in this era, the little girl doesn't understand so much and likes it very much.

At this time, the sky was clear, and the bright moonlight was sprinkled unrestrained in the courtyard, like a layer of silver frost, listening to the familiar melody, Xie Hong closed his eyes.

"Every heart is somewhere

There's always a memory that lingers

Somewhere late every night

There is always the deepest thought......"

The little girl's voice is fresh and delicate, and it feels very comfortable to listen to in the ears, and in this quiet night, it seems to be particularly ethereal and transparent, and it goes straight to the heart.

Under a bright moon, in the starry sky, two figures snuggled quietly.

"The moonlight in the city illuminates dreams

Please watch over it

If we can meet again one day

Let happiness be sprinkled all night long......"

The heavenly singing echoed in the lonely night sky, Xie Hong couldn't help but whisper softly, and his heart was peaceful, this is the taste of happiness.

Xie Hong was intoxicated, in this small county town, in the moonlight of the Ming Dynasty.
