Chapter 11: It's Raining
Xiaobai looked outside, it was indeed a little rain, she thought about it, she was a little embarrassed, food can't replace medicine, not to mention that she is still a child, she doesn't even know what the child's situation is, she can't just rely on the word cough to eat.
But seeing the expectation on the face of this entourage, she could faintly hear the crying of the child from the carriage at the door, and she really couldn't refuse. I had to reluctantly say: "Uncle, not to mention that I don't know the symptoms and don't dare to give the little master random food, even if I know what is beneficial to coughing, I can't use them on a child casually." In this way, I still have a few pears from last year at home, I put lilies and rock sugar in a small cup, and I think there is also a stove on the carriage, you take it back and let the people around Mrs. stew a stick of incense, give the little master a few sips of hot water, and before the rain falls, hurry up to find a doctor. ”
"Okay, okay, then the little white girl go get it." The man's face was full of gratitude.
"Okay, sit down for a moment." Xiaobai ran back to the kitchen, took out a last year's Sydney pear from the space, cut off a small section of the top with a knife, then hollowed out the center of the pear, removed the pear core, cut the flesh into small pieces, stuffed it back together with the dried lily and a few pieces of yellow rock sugar, and then covered the cut part. It was placed in a white porcelain cup. Then he took a small jar of amber walnut kernels from the shelf and handed it to the man along with him. "This walnut kernel is sweet, take it to the little master, he must love to eat it."
The man thanked him for the money, and hurried back with his things. Watching the carriage slowly walk away, Xiaobai also breathed a sigh of relief.
In the carriage, the little young master who kept crying drank a few sips of warm pear juice, and finally quieted down, although he still had a little cough, but it was not as bad as just now, and he ate a few walnuts and fell asleep sweetly.
"Old Witch!" The very luxurious woman instructed the girl who was waiting close to her to open a crack in the car door, and the moment she bowed her head, the beads and gold ornaments jingled, and the little young master on the side moved his little head uneasily. When the man heard the woman calling him, he only turned his head sideways, only to hear the woman inside ask softly, "Are you familiar with the welcoming house?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, I have never been here, but this shop is very famous among the merchants, in addition to the superb cooking skills, it is reported that I also know a little about medical skills, and the slave also listened to the little young master's crying, so I made the decision to ask the little white girl for a way."
"Yes." The woman responded lightly, but her hanging heart still did not let go, her brows were frowned, and her narrow Danfeng eyes flashed with a little essence, but she was obviously less than forty years old, and her face was already haggard like a dying old woman. She worries day and night about her son, who has been sick since birth, and has long lost his original brightness and beauty.
The old witch didn't say much, Madame could make an exception to let the little master eat food from a strange place was the greatest grace to his actions, otherwise he would have to leave the house tomorrow. Thinking of the little young master, he was also full of unbearable, he had to endure such illness and torture at a young age, and sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail, thinking that it was already God's kindness to grow up safely.
Xiao Bai naturally didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, otherwise she would not have taken these two things to them without knowing the sky.
There weren't many customers today, but she still sold some other food, beef jerky, peanut beans, dried fish, and sesame candy. After sending off the last wave of guests, it was already completely dark, and Xiaobai began to work on the food in the vending machine in the kitchen.
A beauty egg is nothing more than an egg wrapped in gauze with petals and boiled with red amaranth. White sugar cake is even simpler, the same method as hair cake, but made with white sugar and glutinous rice. By the time the rice on the stove was cooked, she had already kneaded out hundreds of walnut crisps, brushed them with egg wash, arranged them on a plate, and placed them in the oven under the stovetop.
Then she began to make dried cabbage, which is dried cabbage in the sun in the winter, soaked in warm water, fried in the pot, and mixed with rice. Use a mold to press into a mooncake-sized pie shape. Fry thoroughly in hot oil and set aside to cool. At this time, the walnut crisp can also be baked.
As the favorite dessert of the young ladies, the honey bean cake is nothing more than the honey beans in it are made by Xiaobai's unique secret, and there is a taste of Tianzhu Gui, which is a kind of arbor she found in the depths of the wasteland.
While waiting for the hot honey bean cake to cool through, Xiaobai took out the oil paper, carefully wrapped the food and tied it with hemp rope. And those honey bean cakes are packed in beautiful food boxes. Naturally, the price is also the most expensive.
As night fell, she stacked everything in the vending machine and hung the price card on it. Then he put the closed board at the door. During these 10 days, if a customer comes to welcome them, they will see the food in the vending machine.
Back in the bedroom, she began to pack her belongings for the door.
Some of the changes of clothes were stored in the space, in fact, there was everything in the space, even if she didn't clean up, it didn't matter, but she still enjoyed the process, after all, it was a very happy thing to be able to go out for a walk.
Thinking about some messy things, a smell of roast chicken suddenly glanced out, and she remembered that there were five shiitake mushroom roast chickens roasted in the stove hole, and the shiitake mushrooms were dried by herself, and the aroma was rich and delicious.
cleaned up and put it in the space, cleaned up the empty spring water bamboo tubes on the shelves, took out a piece of honeydew melon from the space, went back to the bedroom while eating, and lay on the bed. It was sent by auspiciousness that day. I don't know where the Lin family bought it, this kind of fruit is very rare in Huicheng, especially after Lin Wenhai punished the spirit fruit, I heard that it has been closed for a long time.
Thinking of Geely, Xiaobai couldn't help laughing, confused, and drowsy.
......
But the lady who had just returned home was still waiting for the old man on the other side to speak. The old man looked at the jar of walnut kernels for almost a cup of tea, and there was no reaction, and the lady couldn't wait any longer, so she hurriedly asked, "Baiku, is there a problem with this?" ”
"Madam, this is the best golden pill honey, and it seems that the little master's illness can be cured." The old man is the doctor of the house, and he calls himself a hundred withered, and only let people call him by his name, not the old man, which is very strange.
"Really?" Madame's eyes showed a different kind of brilliance, but she was not excited, after so many years, she had heard a lot of such words, and naturally she would not really have much hope.
"That's natural, but this golden pill honey is really precious, where did Madame get it?" No wonder he is so curious, the fruit of the golden pill is similar to the fig, but the golden pill that grows in some places is flowering, but the place and time of flowering have no rules to follow, so it shows its preciousness. "Go ahead, as long as I can find a bottle, my medicine will be made!"
The lady was overjoyed, and hurriedly called the old witch, and told him to go and welcome the guest to the little white girl to explain the whole story. If she is willing to give up, the whole house will definitely respond to her needs.
Pity the old witch who came in a hurry, and saw the sign hanging on the door to close the business, and was disappointed, the lady only sighed that God would have done so, and just arrived in Haixing, so she took a large group of people and horses and Baiku to Xiyue City, and the matter of this golden pill honey was put on hold.
......
Xiaobai running in the forest is like an arrow feather that misses the target, at this time the ground is always foggy, and a few dark clouds will float in the sky from time to time, and then there is the scorching sun, and the young leaves on the branches are stained with water droplets, and they enjoy the unbridled sunshine. The ground was wet because of the moisture, and the small grasses that burrowed out of the soil were mixed with wild plants and fungi, and there was a scene everywhere that Xiaobai loved.
She ran fast, which was strange to say, because she was here when she opened her eyes, so she was not afraid of this gloomy place in the eyes of ordinary people at all, but had a feeling that she was most comfortable here. And she didn't feel tired at all, she jumped up and down with an almost light antelope-like body, enjoying the good time that belonged to her.
Each time her route was random, and this time she didn't know how long she ran southeast, through dense jungle and a large chestnut forest, until she heard the sound of water, and realized that she had reached a mountain stream, which was a terrain with a huge disparity, and where she stood, it was low, and it was so high that the river passed by, forming a waterfall.
One winter, the river was flooded with shellfish, and those small shrimps and fish can now be seen at a glance. Although there are some differences compared to Haixing's seafood, after all, these freshwater shrimp are still very good.
In the past few days, her main task is to have enough firewood and materials for the big four. As for the rest, as long as it is convenient for her to take away, she doesn't mind giving the welcome an extra dish.
Enough green shrimp were caught with a net and thrown into the space, she carefully rummaged through the shells under the stones, but unfortunately, although there are many, but the variety is very limited, only one or two, it is no problem to make soup, if you want to think about individual ways to eat, it is really worrying, but Xiaobai still collected some.
Next to the mountain stream is a very dense thicket, with low trees, where the firewood that greets visitors is collected. Xiaobai's movements are very skillful, and the machete is like a part of Xiaobai's body, and he will never miss anywhere he goes. By noon, dozens of bundles had been piled up. Xiaobai put away the machete, ran to the river to wash her face, found a stone and lay down, the temperature was just right, she was a little sleepy.
