"Grandpa Ning, I'm here to borrow a mortar—"

Ning Nanxing sat back down in front of the stove with a bad face, and angrily kicked the fire with a burning stick. "I wasn't trained by my grandfather. It's not that I'm afraid, the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker......"

Old man Ning was sitting in the pharmacy, holding a pen and writing a prescription, when he heard Shen Tuantuan's voice, he didn't pause, and finished writing the prescription in one go, so he stopped writing and put the pen on the pen stand. "Tuan Tuan, you're here—sit, talk to Grandpa Ning."

Shen Tuantuan happily agreed, standing beside Old Man Ning, staring at the prescription of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.

"How many words do you recognize?" Old man Ning blew dry the paper and pulled the prescription in front of Shen Tuantuan, without the slightest consciousness of being a doctor, just coaxing children to read and read.

Shen Tuantuan repeated the handwriting of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and wanted to complain, can you change the paper a little better, this word is very sloppy, and it is smudged, it is strange to be able to recognize the words. I want to be blind!

Shen Tuantuan pointed to a few places randomly, purely relying on Meng, "Angelica? ”

Old Man Ning nodded and motioned for Shen Tuantuan to continue. "Sanqi?"

"Okay, don't be blinded by this girl, this is a woman who is infertile with the cold, and there is no notoginseng in this prescription." If this had been replaced by Ning Nanxing, Old Man Ning would have slapped him a long time ago, but it was naturally different for the female baby.

"In the future, when I am free, I will come to talk to Grandpa Ning and pick up medicinal materials."

When Mei was still alive, Shen Tuantuan would often come to the small courtyard of Ning's house to visit the door, accompany the old man Ning to chat, pick up medicinal materials, and make the ground slip away with a small scale. Even Ning Nanxing, who studied medicine with Old Man Ning since he was a child, can't compare. For this reason, Ning Nanxing was not less bombarded with chestnuts.

But since the Mei family left, Shen Tuantuan had to worry about the food and clothing of the Shen family's father and son every day, so he rarely came to the small courtyard of the Ning family.

"Oh, I listen to you!" Shen Tuantuan obediently agreed.

Old man Ning personally found a clean medicine mortar for Tuan Tuan, "What do you want to make up for delicious food?" ”

"I'm just grinding a little shrimp, and my stone mill is too big. I'll get it back to you when I'm done! Shen Tuantuan held the medicine mortar and urged Old Man Ning to go out to eat.

"I'm digging a lot of good things in the river with Sanya today, and you can taste it when you go back."

"Don't ask me what I did, even if Ning Nanxing knew what to do, he couldn't do it, but I didn't look down on him!"

Shen Tuantuan gathered around Old Man Ning, chattering, Old Man Ning happily agreed, if he didn't know, he thought that these two were the ancestors and grandchildren of his relatives.

Ning Nanxing took advantage of the old and young to talk in the house, secretly stepped on the ground, and moved the dining table to the yard.

When Shen Tuantuan came out with the medicine mortar, he saw that the dining table had been set up in the courtyard, and there were already two large bowls on the boxy dining table, which contained the dishes sent by Shen Tuantuan, and the two bowls of rice were full. There is also a small wine glass at the top table.

Ning Nanxing pulled out a flattering smile without any burden, "Grandfather, it's time to eat." The dishes delivered by Tuan Tuan are very fragrant and you will definitely enjoy eating them. I took charge and poured my grandfather a small glass of medicinal wine. ”

"Ning Nanxing, is your leg okay?" Shen Tuantuan automatically ignored Ning Nanxing's chatter and stared at the dining table and asked.

Ning Nanxing's smile stiffened, and he knew that the focus of this girl was always unpredictable! "No, this table was originally placed in the yard, I gritted my teeth and dragged it over, I don't want to live up to your good craftsmanship, and I also want my grandfather to eat happily."

Shen Tuantuan didn't doubt him, he did hear the sound of heavy objects being dragged in the pharmacy just now, and he thought it should be this table.

Old man Ning is not so easy to deal with, and he secretly cursed in his heart, cunning stinky boy, no one wants to offend! Hum!

Shen Tuantuan suddenly approached Old Man Ning, "Grandpa Ning, did you scold him?" "Ning Nanxing, who is not dealt with, if he is taught a lesson, Shen Tuantuan will be very happy in his heart!

"Well, I beat him up!" Old Man Ning also replied in a low voice.

The two of them whispered.

"Hehe-hee-" Shen Tuantuan gave a thumbs up to Old Man Ning. Must like!

Ning Nanxing instinctively sensed that what he said must not be a good thing, but he was helpless, neither of these two could afford to offend!

Ning Nanxing waited bitterly for the two of them to say that it was enough, and invited the old man Ning to take a seat, and then limped to the stove room to get two cleaned basins, "I've washed it, you can take it back." ”

Facing Ning Nanxing, who was so careful and good-looking, Shen Tuantuan had a momentary weakness. "Well, if your legs and feet are inconvenient, I'll wash them later."

"It's okay, it shouldn't leave sequelae." Ning Nanxing tapped his thigh and shook again. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Old Man Ning, who was carefully picking up his wine glass, taking a sip, and sighing comfortably.

Ning Nanxing said this, Shen Tuantuan was even more weak-hearted, and he didn't know where to put his eyes, and when he looked down, he saw Ning Nanxing's injured instep, which she stepped on. When I looked up, I saw dense beads of sweat coming out of Ning Nanxing's forehead, and just right, a drop fell to the ground......

"Well, it's going to be fine. You shout in the courtyard if you have something, I can hear you. What are you, I'll leave the pots and pans for me to brush for a while—"

"I can still move my hands." This is a rejection.

"Don't fight with me, you better rest more, it's the right thing to get your feet better sooner." Shen Tuantuan insisted that he would be responsible, and Ning Nanxing responded with great embarrassment.

"Then I'm sorry for you!"

Shen Tuantuan is like a victorious general returning home triumphantly.

Ning Nanxing turned around, looked at the old man Ning who was already eating with chopsticks at the table, and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

There's an old man to clean up!

"Grandfather, how is this medicinal wine?"

Outsiders looked at Old Man Ning as if he was the head of the Ning family's courtyard, and in fact it was indeed the case. It's just that the bitterness is the bitterness, the old man Ning can't cook, and even the fire has only been learned in recent years, so on this day, the two meals are all in Ning Nanxing's hands, but the old man Ning is still an old man with a hearty appetite.

Old man Ning likes to take a few sips of wine when he has nothing to do, but since he was slightly unwell last year, Ning Nanxing has cut off his wine, and his daily diet is much lighter. Every morning, I will be driven up the mountain by Ning Nanxing to pick herbs! Old Man Ning had already accumulated a lot of resentment.

Therefore, as soon as Old Man Ning found out that Ning Nanxing's various small actions continued, he resolutely launched a "crazy" revenge!

Hearing Ning Nanxing ask faintly how this medicinal wine is, Old Man Ning took a sip of the remaining half a cup of medicinal wine, and had a big look, "I've finished drinking, what can you do with me".

"Yes, it's good to nourish your heart and calm your mind, it seems that your good grandson is also out of the bank, He Shou Wu spent a lot of silver, right? It's better if you drink warm before bed. "Old man Ning has always been greedy for the medicinal wine brewed by Ning Nanxing, but Ning Nanxing has never brewed it for him.

Therefore, after tasting it, Old Man Ning couldn't straighten his waist.

The ancients didn't deceive me, but they really ate people with short mouths.

Old man Ning only felt that his mouth was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and he really couldn't open his mouth.

Ning Nanxing was not in a hurry, sat down next to Old Man Ning, put a braised river mussel with chopsticks in his mouth, chewed it slowly. "Why didn't my grandfather eat it, is it not to my taste?"

"It's not-" Old Man Ning hurriedly lowered his head and took a bite of food, "What, will there be any medicinal wine to drink tomorrow?" Old man Ning felt that his addiction to alcohol was coming up, and hooked him slightly, so that he had to speak.

"Grandfather said yes, then there was." Ning Nanxing regained the initiative and smiled at Old Man Ning.

When Shen Tuantuan returned to his yard, he saw that Shen Zhong had returned, stuffed the medicine mortar into Shen Changzhi's arms, took Shen Zhong's money bag, poured the copper plate on the dining table, and heard Shen Zhong explain on the side: "I went a little late today, so I earned eight copper plates." Tuan Tuan, I'll go early tomorrow. ”

"Dad, the day after tomorrow is the market, I want to get some food with my brother and sell it on the dock." Shen Tuantuan stuffed the buns in the pot into Shen Zhong's hand, Shen Zhong was already very hungry, and the three of them bit the steamed buns before they had time to speak.

"No, we have a father in our family, and we won't be short of food and drink, if you want to buy something, just buy it, and your father will earn copper plates every day." Although Shen Zhong is tired every day, he has a copper plate to take home every day, and he has a bottom in his heart, and he can save two or three taels of silver at the end of the year.

Xiakou Wharf catches the market every Friday every month, and the day after tomorrow is June 25th, which is the day of the market.

In addition to the villagers of the nearby villages, many hawkers will also come to set up their stalls, and the passing merchant ships will also dock at the Xiakou Wharf, and their own boatmen will get off the boat to buy.

In the past, every time on this day, Shen Zhong would deliberately make a few more plates of tofu, if he happened to be lucky that day, he would meet a big merchant ship, and Shen Zhong would be able to sell them all. After all, Xiakou Wharf is not a big wharf, and there are not many large merchant ships docking at Xiakou Wharf.

"We still have so many soybeans in our house, we can't wait for the worms to grow. I'm thinking about getting some tofu or something, but it's just a space. ”

Shen Zhong had long been worried about what to do with the soybeans, if he hadn't asked a few grain stores, the price would have been too low, and Shen Zhongzhong would not have been willing to do so. "Why don't I sell it with you?"

"Isn't my brother here, besides, it's all from our nearby villages, and nothing will happen. Aren't you also at the dock, dad, if you don't worry, just take a few more looks. Shen Tuantuan insisted on this, and Shen Zhong made up his mind to come and go around more.

Shen Tuantuan persuaded the two men in the family, "Brother, will you accompany your father to grind a plate of tofu at night?" I want to do something else, give it a try. ”

After speaking, Shen Tuantuan picked out four buns stuffed with leeks and four steamed buns from the pot, "Brother, let's move it to the yard to eat, it's cooler." I'll send some steamed buns to Grandpa Ning and let them have breakfast tomorrow morning. ”
