Chapter 37: The Tang Family's Medical Inheritance
Tang Mansion, backyard, silkworm house.
Silkworms are actually a kind of pests, although they were later discovered and cultivated and utilized, making it a tool for people's clothes and money, but its own pest nature has not changed, and the only purpose of their life is to keep eating.
Pei Cai'er and Wan'er stayed in the silkworm room, quietly listening to the sound of the little silkworms on the silkworm foil devouring mulberry leaves, only a few days of hard work, the body of the little silkworms has nearly doubled, from the original little ants directly to small white worms, and the mulberry leaves required have increased a lot compared to the beginning.
"The growth of the silkworm is good, the appetite is also good, and it will be fed once a day in the future, and the silkworm sand must be cleaned on time."
Coming out of the silkworm room, Pei Caier's face was filled with joy, although the Tang Mansion was no longer short of money because of the income from the green vegetables, and she had accumulated more than 200 yuan of surplus money in the account book in her hand, and the house no longer needed the few yuan she earned from raising silkworms, but Pei Caier still liked to do it herself, and she was reluctant to give it up or give it to others.
is used to being poor and thrifty, compared with Tang Xiu, a famous loser in Taiyuan Mansion, Pei Caier has understood the truth of gathering less into more and gathering sand into a tower since he can remember.
Although the money is not much, at a critical time, it may not be impossible to support the entire Tang Mansion.
In fact, if Tang Xiu hadn't suddenly found a way to sell vegetables, the Tang Mansion would really have to rely on these little silkworms in Pei Cai'er's silkworm house to feed them in the next few months.
"Huh?" As soon as she got out of the room, Wan'er raised her hand and pointed to the vegetable patch in the garden with a surprised face: "Miss, look, isn't that Mrs. Tai?" ”
Pei Cai'er looked up, it was really Mrs. Cui's, who was half-squatting in the vegetable garden at the moment and looking at the newly grown fresh vegetables in the vegetable field, when Pei Cai'er and Wan'er came out, the old lady was pulling out one and putting it in her mouth to chew raw.
"Since the husband created two pairs of dentures for Mrs. Tai a few days ago, Mrs. Tai not only looks much younger, but her body is getting stronger and lighter day by day."
Seeing the old lady squatting there alone and relaxed, Pei Caier couldn't help but sigh softly, compared with the state when she first met Cui's more than 20 days ago, Cui's state of struggling to even stand up, Mrs. Tai's current performance can already be described as reborn and dead wood in spring.
"Yes, yes," Wan'er echoed softly: "Uncle is really amazing, what so many people want to do but haven't done in the past and now, Uncle only took a few days to do it." I heard that Mrs. Tai's appetite is so good now, and when she eats, whether it is thin, dry, soft or hard, her teeth and mouth are not inferior to those of young people. ”
"With a good appetite, coupled with the continuous nourishment of these wells in the house, it is reasonable that Mrs. Tai's health is getting better and better. But in the final analysis, it's all the work of my uncle. ”
After the denture incident, Wan'er's impression of Tang Xiu has changed greatly, and she has recognized the fact that Tang Xiu is her young lady's husband from the bottom of her heart, and she also said good things about Tang Xiu in front of Pei Cai'er.
In this regard, Pei Caier smiled and nodded, silent.
Now that she saw it, she naturally wanted to go forward to greet Mrs. Tai, Pei Cai'er moved towards the vegetable garden, Wan'er followed in small steps, and continued to whisper in Pei Cai'er's ear: "Miss, it will be January in five days, do you want to discuss it with your uncle in advance?" Otherwise, when the lady moves to the mansion in the future, she will find out the problem sooner or later. ”
"I have my own measure on this, don't worry about it, you girl."
Thinking that their mother and daughter would be able to reunite in five days and completely break away from the control of the Pei family, Pei Cai'er's heart was excited, but when she thought that after her mother moved to the Tang Mansion, she would have to share a room with Tang Xiu, Pei Cai'er began to feel a little apprehensive in her heart.
Since Tang Xiu recovered from his injury, he has been in a state of amnesia, and his attitude towards Pei Caier has always been respectful, and he is quite polite every time he meets, which seems to be very good on the surface, but he does not have the feeling of being a real couple together.
Tang Xiu's changes and behaviors during this period of time have made Pei Cai'er gradually forget the unhappy scene when they met for the first time, coupled with Wan'er's girl from time to time, Pei Cai'er, who has always longed for a stable home, gradually gave birth to a trace of thoughts and plans in her heart to live a good life with Tang Xiu.
It's just that Tang Xiu seems to have been deliberately avoiding the relationship with her all along, Pei Cai'er can feel it, but she has no way, she can't let a girl from a girl be ashamed to recommend herself to the pillow seat, right? So things have been delayed like this.
Maybe it would be a good choice to ask Mrs. Tai to come forward.
Seeing Mrs. Tai in front of her, Pei Caier suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, Mrs. Tai is the elder of the family, judging from Tang Xiu's courtesy and filial piety to Mrs. Tai for a while, if Mrs. Tai speaks, Tang Xiu should not object, right?
Walking quickly into the vegetable garden, and when she came to Mrs. Tai's side, Pei Caier bent down and gently picked up Mrs. Tai, and said softly: "Why is grandma here alone, why is the girl of Qianhe not accompanied?" ”
"It's Ye'er." The old lady stood up and slowly stretched, looked at Pei Cai'er and said with a smile: "It's rare to have such a good weather, it's because the old man wants to come out for a walk, and he didn't let Qianhe follow." ”
As he spoke, Cui Shi raised the green vegetables in his hand and asked Pei Cai'er: "These green vegetables are those vegetarian dishes that the old man eats on the dinner table every day, right?" The growth is good, but it doesn't taste good when eaten raw, and this is a hint of sweetness, which was planted by Ye'er himself? ”
"If Grandma likes it, it's fine." Pei Cai'er replied softly: "Actually, it's not planted by Ye'er, the seeds of the green vegetables are carefully selected by the husband, and Ye'er just watered them every once in a while, and there is no credit." ”
"Was it Tang Xiu's little cub who fiddled with it?" Cui was clearly unconvinced.
"Isn't that Young Master Xiu's idea?" Wan'er interjected: "I'm afraid the ancestor doesn't know yet, just these vegetables in our yard will cost 300 yuan a pound to sell?" ”
"Three hundred wen a pound? Is it the price set by Xiu'er herself? Cui Shi then asked, seeing Pei Cai'er and Wan'er nodding in unison, the old lady's mood suddenly seemed a little uncontrollably excited, and her eyes slowly began to redden: "It seems that the old body guessed well before, that little cub is really enlightened this time, our Tang family's medical skills have finally been inherited, and the old man and Su'er Ruoquan have knowledge, and they can also look at it!" ”
"It's really endless, my Tang family!"
"Huh?"
Pei Cai'er and Wan'er looked at each other, what is the old lady talking nonsense, she is talking about green vegetables, why did she suddenly talk about the Tang family's medical skills? Could it be that the Tang family's medical skills can still be used to grow vegetables?
