Chapter 117: The Centipede's Joke
Xiao Douding looked frightened, raised his little head to look at Ye Tan, and his eyes did not blink when he spoke.
"Aunt Ye Tan, have you eaten a scorpion centipede?"
"What's that? We used to follow your father at the border, and when there was no food, we ate a lot of grass roots and bark, and scorpions and centipedes were rare meat dishes. ”
Ye Tan deliberately teased her, saying with a smug face.
Little Bean Ding almost spit out the lobster he ate, and it was obvious that the child had a great fear of scorpion centipedes.
"No more!"
She swung the chopsticks in her hand onto the table, hugged her little arms and became angry.
Seeing her like this, Gongsun Qi put his chopsticks on the table, and said sharply according to his usual appearance: "Don't be willful, eat quickly!" ”
Xiaodou Ding shrank back, as if remembering the time when he was taught by his aunt in the past, he didn't dare to look up at his aunt, but only stretched out his little hand to the table, picked up the chopsticks and choked.
Bai Qianning looked at this scene, and roughly understood why Xiaodouding had lived with Gongsun Qi for a few years, but she didn't seem to have much affection, and she had sneaked out for so long before, and she hadn't heard her say that she missed her aunt.
This is probably because Gongsun Qi takes care of his identity as a master and servant, and only regards himself as Xiaodouding's upbringing aunt, and he controls more than he feels on weekdays.
Looking at Xiao Douding's aggrieved face at the moment, Bai Qianning reached out and touched her little head and comforted: "It's okay, children can be willful occasionally, but it's also for your good for your aunt to discipline you, isn't it?" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Douding raised his head to look at Bai Qianning, answered a word and quickly lowered his head.
Bai Qianning continued to say patiently: "Actually, the centipede scorpion mother is also afraid, especially the centipede, when the mother was young, she was forced to dry medicinal herbs by her mother's grandfather, and a basket full of centipedes was held in her hand, and she was scared to cry." But later, my mother's grandfather told my mother a joke, and my mother was no longer afraid of centipedes. ”
"What joke?"
Little Douding raised his head curiously and asked.
And the rest of the people at the table couldn't help but stop their actions because Bai Qianning was talking about what happened when he was a child. Zhan Qianche has always known that Bai Qianning's medical skills are good, but it is also the first time he has heard her talk about studying medicine, he has always thought that what Bai Qianning said about his ancestors from a medical family is false, but he doesn't want to have such a thing.
Seeing that everyone was so interested, Bai Qianning simply put down the chopsticks in his hand, cleared his throat and opened his mouth:
"One day, snakes, ants, spiders, and centipedes discussed who they should buy food. Then the serpent said, "I have no feet, I will not go, let the ants go."
The ant said, "The spider has eight legs, more than mine, let the spider go."
At this time, the spider was unhappy and shouted: No matter how many feet I have, I can't compare to the big brother centipede, let the centipede go. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Douding's attention was all attracted, and he looked at his mother and scratched his little head and asked, "Then is it gone?" ”
Bai Qianning smiled, nodded meaningfully, and continued: "Although the centipede is reluctant in his heart, he can't help it when he thinks about it, who lets it have more feet?" So the centipede went out......
But after an hour passed, the centipede did not return, and after another two hours, the centipede did not return. So everyone decided to let the spider go out to have a look, and as soon as the spider went out, he saw the centipede sitting in the doorway.
"Why didn't the centipede go?" Little Douding asked curiously.
"That's right! The spider also wanted to know, and it was angry and asked the centipede: Why don't you go yet? Everybody waits. ”
At this time, the centipede was also anxious, and said: What nonsense are you talking about, you have to wait for me to put on my shoes!! ”
Hearing this, the air suddenly and inexplicably fell silent for a second, and then there was a burst of laughter, and the people at the table were laughing forward and backward, only Gongsun Qi seemed to be still holding a shelf, holding back laughter and his face was flushed.
Bai Qianning noticed her expression and deliberately quipped: "Aunt Sun's smile is quite high!" ”
"Laughs?"
Zhan Qianche listened to this unfamiliar word that didn't come from that world, and looked at Bai Qianning is face with a little more imperceptible pampering.
Bai Qianning listened to his question, so he didn't care about anything, and patiently explained: "The laughter point is the tolerance for the funny degree of the joke, just like Aunt Sun, if you can resist laughing after listening to a funny joke, you can say that the laughter is high, if you can laugh for a long time if you make a joke, the laughter is low." ”
"Oh! Mother, do you have any other jokes? ”
Xiao Douding diverted the topic at the right time, and also saved Bai Qianning from being asked about the origin of the word.
Bai Qianning was very satisfied with her divine assistance, reached out and pinched her little face and said, "Yes, my mother still knows a lot of jokes, let's talk about it while eating......"
At the end of the meal, the people in the wooden house were laughing again and again, and even Gongsun Qi let go a lot, and the light in his eyes changed from a little hostile to exploring and appreciating.
Gongsun Qi, as Xiaodouding's upbringing aunt, although she has been ordered not to tell her about Xiaodouding's life experience, and she can't let Xiaodouding go to see her biological mother, but when she calls other women her mother, she will be somewhat worthless for her master.
But now, looking at Bai Qianning's conversation, appearance and talent, as well as her good treatment of Xiaodouding, I have to deny that this is a woman who is not inferior to her master.
A room full of people were laughing, and suddenly a cloud of snow white jumped onto the windowsill, and the sharp-eyed little bean saw it at a glance.
"Mother, did you bring the little rice balls too?"
Bai Qianning followed her gaze and saw Xiao Tangyuan standing on the windowsill, half of his body was blocked, and what was blocking it was an umbrella-like plant that was thirty centimeters long.
"Ganoderma lucidum?"
Such a big one! Bai Qianning's eyes were straight, and looking at the appearance of Xiao Tangyuan being crumbling by the weight, he quickly stood up and took the Lingzhi over.
After a closer look, she was so shocked that her jaw almost fell to the ground, only to see that the color and quality of this Ganoderma lucidum were completely beyond her imagination.
In her last life, she had seen many precious Ganoderma lucidum in her grandfather's pharmacy, and there was a three-hundred-year-old one that was shelved by her grandfather, but the quality and size could not be compared with this one.
Experience told her that the Ganoderma lucidum in her hand is not a thousand years, but also seven or eight hundred years, you must know that the older this Ganoderma lucidum is, the more precious it is.
The rest of the people also gathered around, carefully examining it, although they didn't understand medical skills, they also knew that this thing was very precious, and they couldn't help but have a deeper curiosity about the space they were in at the moment.
Bai Qianning didn't have time to think too much, took the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, and hurriedly asked Xiao Tangyuan: "Where did you find this?" ”
Xiao Tangyuan squeaked a few times, turned around and looked at the mountains and forests behind him, pointing out the direction to Bai Qianning.
"Is there anything else? Is there anything bigger than that? ”
Bai Qianning suddenly had a very unrealistic idea, she wondered if this Ganoderma lucidum would be like Chinese cabbage in the space, growing all over the ground, if so, what kind of farm would she build, just dig up Ganoderma lucidum and sell it, and catch up with the richest man in minutes.
But to her surprise, Xiao Tangyuan hesitated for a moment, then began to shake his head, and then squeaked and jumped into the room and jumped into Xiao Douding's arms.
When it looked at Bai Qianning again, it seemed to complain about her lack of greed.
Bai Qianning could only spit at it, holding the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, thinking about going around the forest in person when he was free, maybe there would be any new discoveries. When the time comes, if you encounter a thousand-year-old ginseng or something, it is best to nourish Zhan Qianche's body.
......
took Mu Yan out of the space again, Bai Qianning evenly divided the Ganoderma lucidum into six pieces, took one piece first, put it on the fire with a few other medicinal herbs and boiled it, and the rest was packed in a basket and put it away.
Today, Brother Lin's family is going to send furniture over, and she has to move the location of the house with Mu Yan, otherwise this palm-sized room may be a bit crowded with a sofa and coffee table.
Fortunately, Mu Yan's body was strong, and she didn't need to do any work at all, Bai Qianning commanded on the side, and after a while, a suitable place was vacated at home.
It's just a temporary release, and when the house on the farm is built and moved there, it will be much more spacious.
After almost cleaning up, Uncle Qin's carriage drove to the gate of the courtyard, and these sofas were relatively heavy, so Brother Lin specially borrowed the old carriage from Uncle Qin before.
Bai Qianning went up, took the pin of the courtyard gate, and asked them to drive the carriage into the courtyard, and when the carriage stopped, Sister-in-law Lin jumped off the carriage.
She hadn't seen Mu Yan yet, and when she saw that there was an inexplicable man in Bai Qianning's family, she glanced him up and down, pulled Bai Qianning aside and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qianning, is this your new object?" ”
