Chapter 107: What a big vinegar smell

The next day, the snow fell. The sparse snowflakes fell leisurely from the gray sky, like white elves, dancing in the air. The wind, too, put away its temper and became mild-mannered.

Without the obstruction of wind and snow, the team that procured grain traveled much more smoothly. However, the weight of dozens or hundreds of pounds on everyone's back is not a joke, and the speed is much slower than when they came. Fortunately, Castle Peak Village sent a team to meet in the early afternoon. The full baskets were transferred to the backs of the receiving team, and a smile appeared on the tired faces of the food purchasing team.

It wasn't until late at night that the team returned to the village. The food was delivered to the village chief's house, and the big ones went home to rest.

Gu Xiao dragged his tired body, climbed halfway up the mountain, and found that the courtyard door of his house was open, and a warm light came from his granddaughter's room. Gu Xiao's heart swelled with warmth, no matter how far he went or how long he walked, there were always relatives waiting at home. That's what home feels like, right?

"Aunt Ba, don't worry! I'll cool Xiaodong down first......" A crisp voice came from her granddaughter in the room, "Aunt Yan, there is hot water on the kitchen stove, you go and help me get a basin." ”

Yan Qiutong lifted the curtain and came out, saw Gu Xiao standing in the courtyard, and said in surprise: "Fifth master, you are back!" How to stand in the yard? Hurry up and warm up in the house, our girl will give you a hot meal on the stove! ”

Gu Xiao bowed his head and said, "It's so late, Ye'er hasn't rested yet?" ”

"The girl has been thinking about you, and she won't go to sleep until you come back!" Yan Qiutong said with a smile, "Now, our girl can finally sleep peacefully!" ”

The granddaughter is a filial person, and it is not in vain that he loves her so much. Gu Xiao pointed to the west and asked, "Who was Ye'er talking to just now?" "It's so late, I came to his house to find Ye'er, either to seek medical treatment or medicine.

"Patriarch Gu's little grandson is sick, and his mother has come to seek medical treatment with him. That kid burned badly...... By the way, the girl asked me to get some warm water to wipe the child and cool down. Yan Qiutong hurriedly walked into the kitchen and fetched a basin of water.

It's not easy to be a doctor, and my granddaughter has to receive a doctor in the middle of the night, how tiring she is! Gu Xiao was a little skeptical that it was right to let his granddaughter study medicine. However, the granddaughter seems to be enjoying herself.

Gu Ming heard the movement and came out of the house rubbing her eyes. Gu Xiaohu was stunned, and snorted coldly: "You sleep quite comfortably!" Did you know that your sister hasn't slept yet? ”

"Grandpa, you're back! Why stand in the yard and get cold, come into the house and warm up, I'll serve you food! When Gu Ming saw that his grandfather was back, his heart relaxed, and regardless of his grandfather's drooping face, he pulled him into the house, gave him a basin of hot water, washed his face and burned his feet, and brought him a hot meal. Gu Xiao saw that the quilt in the house was neatly folded, and it could be seen that his grandson had been waiting for him to sleep, and his face was slightly better.

"Your sister's body hasn't been raised yet, so she shouldn't be allowed to stay up like this! Are there many people who come to seek medical treatment these days? Don't tire my precious granddaughter out. Gu Xiao sat cross-legged on the hot kang, eating and drinking a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of food.

Gu Ming poured a glass of medicinal wine for her grandfather and replied, "Not much, it's just that Aunt Eight came to see a doctor with Xiaodong in her arms tonight......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ye came in from outside, called "grandpa", and turned around and went out again. Gu Xiao's grandfather and grandson glanced at each other a little strangely, and Gu Ming jumped off the hot kang: "Grandpa, I'll go and see what my sister is doing!" ”

Gu Ming entered her sister's room, and her sister's voice came out: "Eighth aunt, the Jimin Hall in the town has issued a medicine specially for children under the age of five, with a sweet taste and good medicinal effect. I asked Grandpa to fetch some from town. There is just a medicine that can cure Xiaodong's disease! ”

Xiaodong's illness is acute gastroenteritis, diarrhea, vomiting, accompanied by high fever, and malaise.

"Ye'er, you said that this medicine is good, it must be good. But...... My aunt heard that there were good medicines outside the mountain, and they cost more than 100 taels of silver...... If this kid's medicine is so expensive, we can't afford it! There was a hint of apprehension and embarrassment on the eighth aunt's round face. Who wouldn't want to give their child the best medicine? But you have to do what you can according to your own situation!

Gu Ye took two spoonfuls of antipyretic medicine from the porcelain bottle, melted it with warm boiled water, and said with a smile in his mouth: "More than a hundred taels of silver medicine, don't say you can't afford it, I can't afford it either!" Auntie, don't worry! This medicine can be taken three times a day, one to two spoonfuls at a time, for three consecutive days, as long as one hundred and twenty Wen! It's all the price in town!! ”

Gu Xiaodong, who wiped his body with warm water, looked a little more energetic. He leaned on his mother's arms, looked at the medicine bowl in Sister Xiaoye's hand, and asked softly, "Is it really not bitter?" ”

"Sister Xiaoye never lies, don't believe it, you can taste it." Gu Ye brought the medicine bowl to Xiao Dong's mouth.

The little guy obediently stretched his neck and took a sip, smacking his mouth, revealing a sweet smile: "Sour and sweet Mimi." Mother, it's really not bitter! After saying that, he drank all the medicine in one go.

Gu Ye gave him another spoonful of the powder for the treatment of enteritis, and the little guy drank it very cooperatively, even if there was a little bit left on the bowl, he asked Sister Xiao Ye to add some boiling water and rinse it, and drank it.

"That's good!" Gu Ye pinched his fleshy little face complimentally, and said to Aunt Eight while cutting oily paper, "Don't give the little guy greasy food these days, tomorrow I will only give him sticky rice porridge, and the day after tomorrow you can eat some soft noodles or gnocchi soup." ”

She wrapped three paper packets of antipyretic medicine and nine small packets of gastrointestinal medicine, and told Aunt Eight: "This pink medicine powder is fever-reducing, take one pack tomorrow morning, noon and evening." This white powder was taken for three days in a row, and it was also a pack in the morning, noon and evening. ”

Jimintang did not let people buy medicine to take it back, because it was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to speculate on the high price of medicine. Most of the villagers in Qingshan Village, although they live a poor life, still love their children. There will never be a phenomenon of buying medicine back and reselling it when the child is sick.

Especially when Aunt Eight gave birth to several children before she died, she loved Xiaodong as an eyeball, and she would not have that kind of concern. This is also the reason why Gu Ye asked Aunt Ba to take the medicine back to the child.

The medicine that Gu Ye left in his hand was all added with the dew on the red lotus petals, and the effect of the medicine was faster. It didn't take long for the little one's fever to subside, and his stomach didn't hurt much.

The eighth aunt paid one hundred and twenty yuan for medicine, hugged her sleeping son, and said a basket of thanks. After sending the eighth aunt away, Gu Ye yawned and saw her brother smiling at her in the yard. Gu Ye glanced at him and said, "You don't sleep so late, what's wrong with smirking here?" ”

"A lying child will have a longer nose!" Gu Ming heard the story of the little puppet from his sister, and he smiled and reached out to pinch his sister's nose.

Gu Ye slapped his hand away, said "childish" to him, entered his grandfather's house, and shouted sweetly: "Grandpa, the road is going well, right?" How about the medicated liquor I made? ”

"Smooth, good medicinal wine! It's just too little, it's not enjoyable!! Gu Xiao shook the shriveled wine bag.

Gu Ming climbed onto the kang, lay on her brother's quilt, and said lazily: "Medicinal wine has a health care effect, so you can't drink too much in the first place." If Grandpa likes to drink, next time you go to town to buy some sorghum wine, I'll steam some soju for you! ”

Most of the world's liquor is low-alcohol liquor made from grain. The amount of distilled shochu is very small and the price is super expensive. The imperial offering "Ten Miles of Incense" that Gu Xiao once drank was a type of soju. However, the degree is only about forty degrees, which is still worse than the sixty-degree spirits that Gu Ye made medicinal wine.

"Can you steam soju?" Gu Xiao's eyes widened. He didn't think that his granddaughter could learn how to make soju without a teacher, but the craftsmen of this era were passed down from generation to generation, so where did her granddaughter steal it?

Gu Ye blinked his innocent big eyes, hiding his panic for a moment. In this case, she could only throw the pot on her master's head: "My master saved a famous brewer in Yanguo, and that person gave him his most precious soju recipe. My master believes that drinking alcohol is easy to paralyze the brain and hands, and it is a taboo for pharmacists. So it was passed on to me......"

One lie, to use a hundred lies to complete, how tiring! Gu Ye touched his nose, fortunately, it didn't get longer.

"No wonder, the wine you make medicinal wine is so strong, it turns out to be a recipe from the Yan Kingdom!" When Gu Xiao was in the army, he heard his comrades say that the liquor that Yan Guo entertained his subjects was very strong, and some of the representatives of the subject countries poured it after only drinking one glass, which was very embarrassing! If it is really the same quality as his granddaughter's medicinal wine, he estimates that he will get drunk after drinking a few glasses!

"Grandpa, you said that we should set up a brewing workshop in Yancheng to specialize in steaming soju and selling it to rich people, how about it?" Gu Ye, a little money fan, had his eyes shining brightly in the candlelight.

Gu Xiao twisted his eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. finally had a caring granddaughter, but a medicine saint came out to rob him. It's just that the medicine saint left so many good things for his granddaughter, and turned him, who was a grandfather, into scum.

There are only one or two steamed soju crafts in the entire Dongling Congress, and they are in short supply at all. Especially in the Northland, the soju market is even larger. He can imagine that once the steaming workshop is built, it will definitely be a chicken that lays golden eggs, bringing a lot of money. And all this money was brought to her by her granddaughter's master. As soon as he thought of this, Gu Xiao's heart was sour.

"Your master's prescription, you use it to make money, is it appropriate?" Gu Xiao said sourly.

Gu Ye said in a natural tone: "What's inappropriate?" My master gave me the recipe, isn't the meaning obvious? ”

"Yes! Your master is so good to you, and compares me as a grandfather. Oh, this is Yan Mink's sweater, light and soft, with a very good warmth effect, it is estimated that the entire Dongling Kingdom will not find a second set! Gu Xiao stuffed a burden to his granddaughter, and the sourness in his tone became even stronger.
