Chapter 233: One Step Ahead

This time, I heard about Jiang Cheng'er's recovery of Banlan root in the village, so I came again.

The second child of the Lin family looked at Jiang Cheng'er's house with a blank face, and he was still hesitating whether to put this blue root in Jiang Cheng'er's house.

But as soon as he saw that the relationship between Grandma Xiu and Jiang Cheng'er was so close, Lin Lao Er felt that he had nothing to fear.

"Then do what you said, Jiang Cheng'er!" Lin Lao Er took off the banlan root on his body and threw it on the ground, looked at Jiang Cheng'er with relief and said.

Jiang Cheng'er asked Qinglin to take out the scales from the back room, and carefully weighed Lin Laoer's banlan root two or three times before reassuring: "Second uncle, there are a total of six catties and seven taels of banlan root here, you can rest assured that no matter if I go to the town to this Baicaotang to recycle a large number of banlan roots, I will accept all of these you sent today." ”

Lin Lao Er touched his head a little embarrassed and pursed his lips and smiled.

"What's so embarrassing about this, Jiang Cheng'er girl, then I'll go back first if you are busy first, if you use a car in the future, you can call Qinglinwa to inform me." After speaking, Lin Lao Er quickly left Jiang Cheng'er's house.

Grandma Xiu stood in the courtyard and looked at the pile of banlan roots sent by Lin Laoer, and looked at Jiang Cheng'er with a melancholy expression: "Jiang Cheng'er, what you just said to your second uncle, look at what if the medicine store in this town doesn't recycle these weeds." Then don't you have to pay out of your own pocket to settle the bill for your second uncle? ”

Jiang Cheng'er saw that Grandma Xiu was so worried about herself, and she actually laughed out loud.

"Grandma, don't worry about this, I'll ask Qinglin to kill a chicken for us at noon today. I'll make you braised chicken at noon! ”

Jiang Cheng'er said as she took Grandma Xiu's arm and walked towards the back room.

Grandma Xiu raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng'er, and asked incomprehensibly, "Girl, what do you say you are going to do at noon?" What braised chicken? ”

"You, just rest here, I'll make you something to eat at noon!" Jiang Cheng'er smiled and helped Grandma Xiu sit down on the chair, and poured a glass of water for Grandma Xiu.

Considering that Grandma Xiu's age is no longer very good, Jiang Cheng'er has to simmer it for a while when she cooks chicken.

During this period of time, under the leadership of Jiang Cheng'er, although Qinglin did not learn any other big skills, he could be regarded as having learned the work of living at home, and even the meals could be made some simple, at least it would not be like Jiang Cheng'er was worried about before, if Jiang Cheng'er was not there, Qinglin would be starved to death.

Li Qinglin grabbed a chicken from the chicken coop with his hands and feet, Jiang Cheng'er raised so many chickens in the chicken coop at home, so Jiang Cheng'er was even more distressed when he ate it, whether it was an old hen or a rooster, he could grab any one of them and put them in the pot.

Immediately, in the sound of the rooster, the Qinglin knife rose and fell, and the chicken was quickly slaughtered.

Jiang Cheng'er clapped her hands: "You can do it now, help my sister clean up the chicken feathers on it, I'll go boil the water first." ”

The two sisters and brothers cooperated and had their own division of labor, and soon put the chicken in the pot.

Qinglin was very sensible and stood aside to help Jiang Cheng'er with a hand, and even steamed the rice.

Jiang Cheng'er stretched her waist and rubbed her arms and walked towards the back room, Grandma Xiu was really bored sitting in the house alone, and she took the cloth to help Jiang Cheng'er clean the house inside and out.

As soon as Jiang Cheng'er entered the back room, she saw the scene of Grandma Xiu working, and hurriedly went up and snatched the cloth from Grandma Xiu's hand: "Let's do these jobs by ourselves, even if I don't do it, then there is still Qinglin." How can I bother you to do it. ”

"Didn't you say before that we were a family, a family wouldn't talk to two families, if you didn't tell me to do it, then you would be out of sight with me, besides, you didn't help me cure my leg disease, look at my old bones can now walk strongly." I'm idle here with you, and you say that if I don't do some work for you, I can't swallow this meal! ”

Grandma Xiu looked at Jiang Cheng'er with a smile on her face.

Jiang Cheng'er was also quite helpless about Grandma Xiu's remarks, originally she thought that Grandma Xiu would be happy from a family.

At least it can improve the food or something, but I didn't expect Grandma Xiu to come to her to work.

Jiang Cheng'er was afraid that Grandma Xiu wouldn't be able to chew the chicken when she was eating, and the stewed chicken took a little longer, which took a whole hour.

"Sister, I see that chicken is stewed again, I'm afraid that the bones will turn into soup, are you sure you are making stewed chicken and not making chicken soup?" Qinglin sat on the chair with his head in his hands, looking at Jiang Cheng'er with a sallow face hungry.

Jiang Cheng'er thought about it, and calculated that the chicken had been simmering in the pot for about the same time, and she quickly came to the kitchen and glanced at the chicken in the pot.

It really reached the level that Jiang Cheng'er wanted, the chicken was simmered until it was simmered, and the taste was also in the chicken.

Qinglin helped Jiang Cheng'er serve the rice, and then helped Jiang Cheng'er bring the chicken into the back room. On weekdays, when Jiang Cheng'er and Qinglin eat together, the two of them are at least one meat and one vegetable, and today it is rare for grandma Xiu to come to Jiang Cheng'er's house, and Jiang Cheng'er naturally can't make only such a dish.

After Qinglin served the chicken away, Jiang Cheng'er made another dish of sweet and sour pork ribs.

When Jiang Cheng'er came to the back room with the food, Qinglin looked at the dishes in front of him and was surprised.

"I'm really enjoying the blessing with Grandma Xiu today, you can't cook two meat dishes on weekdays!" Qing Lin looked at the dishes in front of him and salivated.

Jiang Cheng'er couldn't help but glance at Qinglin when she heard it: "What you said seemed to be that your sister abused you on weekdays." ”

After watching Grandma Xiu get off the chopsticks, Qinglin also raised the chopsticks and took a piece of meat and put it in his bowl satisfactorily.

For Qinglin's point, Jiang Cheng'er is quite satisfied, although he was a little poor in the previous life, but Qinglin is quite well-behaved, and now that his life is better, he will not gobble up meat in his bowl when he sees it.

"Qinglin, Jiang Cheng'er, you all eat more, now is the time to grow your body." Grandma Xiu said as she sandwiched the vegetables and put them in Jiang Cheng'er and Qinglin's bowls.

Jiang Cheng'er Shanshan smiled.

According to common sense, now the villagers in the village know that this banlangen can be sold for money, and it has been so long, only the second uncle of the Lin family sent the banlangen, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Just when Jiang Cheng'er was thinking about whether there was any reason for this, the second Lin suddenly came to Jiang Cheng'er's house.

"Jiang Cheng'er, can I bring back those banlan roots I sent you today?" As soon as Lin Lao Er entered the door, he asked Jiang Cheng'er for the Banlangen sent this time.

Jiang Cheng'er put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Lin Lao Er with some puzzlement, and asked, "What's wrong, Second Uncle?" ”

"Your second aunt is also recycling Banlan root, listening to the villagers say that the price is not low, you look at it, otherwise the Banlan root that I sent to me will be returned to me...... "That Lin Lao Er is a well-known honest person in the village, if it weren't for the high price given by the Liu family, Lin Lao Er would definitely not be able to wipe his face and come to Jiang Cheng'er to ask for Banlan Root."

It's just two baskets of blue roots, and Jiang Cheng'er doesn't care.

But Jiang Cheng'er wondered, where did the Liu family come from to sell this blue root?

Qinglin was a little annoyed, he pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Cheng'er, just as he was about to say something, Jiang Cheng'er held him down and signaled him not to act rashly.

"Second uncle, this thing is originally yours, and if you want to take it back, you will naturally take it for yourself. Why don't you let Qinglin send these things back for you later? ”

"No, no, I'll pick it up myself, so I don't have to trouble Qinglin. I see you're eating, so I won't disturb you. Lin Lao Er said embarrassedly, picked up the banlan root on the ground, and walked towards the door.

Grandma Xiu also put down the dishes and chopsticks in embarrassment and looked at Jiang Cheng'er.

Seeing that Lin Lao Er was walking away, Qing Lin said angrily: "On weekdays, we have a good relationship with the second uncle of the Lin family, but why is he suddenly like this now!" ”

Jiang Cheng'er glanced at Qinglin and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

"Life is like this, maybe the Liu family really has a way to find a higher price, but if she has a way, it can be regarded as a benefit to everyone, what kind of anger are you!" Jiang Cheng'er said as she comforted Qinglin.

Qinglin pushed the chopsticks angrily: "This one was sent by him to the banlangen, and we didn't force him to be no, and now he suddenly wants to take back the banlangen, really...... It's as if we're going to buy and sell. ”

"Jiang Cheng'er, I also think that something is wrong with this matter, there must be some misunderstanding here, I also see how your second uncle behaves on weekdays, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do." Grandma Xiu was also on the side to help Lin Lao Er say good things.

In fact, this matter is not only in the eyes of Grandma Xiu, Jiang Cheng'er also knows that the second uncle of the Lin family is not the kind of person who forgets his righteousness, so Jiang Cheng'er plans to go after eating to see what kind of medicine is sold in this Liu's gourd.

As soon as he said that he wanted to go to see Liu's recovery banlan root, this Qinglin was interested, and before Jiang Cheng'er could open his mouth, he directly volunteered that he wanted to go together.

"It's not impossible for you to go with me, but you can't play your petty role when you follow me over. I just want to see where Liu's medicinal materials are collected and sold. ”

Walking on the road, Jiang Cheng'er also gave instructions to Qinglin Qian.

Qinglin said vigorously, if he didn't agree, then Jiang Cheng'er would definitely not agree to let him go with him.

There was a dense flow of people under the big locust tree, and everyone crowded inside.
