"Do you want any other medicine?" The boss asked.

Sister Qiu shook her head.

"Okay, one pound of cement gypsum and ten copper plates." The boss preached.

Not! Fortunately, it is not as expensive as she imagined, otherwise the cost will increase. Thinking of this, Sister Qiu smiled slightly and showed the two pear vortexes, "Boss, I buy a lot, give me a cheaper!" There are so many hospitals in the town, and I went straight to your house when I went back, and I didn't go to any other house. ”

Although she doesn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, she just expects cement gypsum to be sold as Chinese herbal medicine, so she won't put too much, and there should be very few customers like her who buy a pound at a time.

The boss laughed, this little lady is interesting, shrewd and shrewd, but it is not annoying, "Then count your eight copper plates, no less, it is equivalent to the cost of the road for you to bring." ”

This is a cliché on the field, where can he really sell it at a price for nothing, Sister Qiu smiled, nodded and said: "Thank you boss, next time I will come to your house to buy cement plaster." ”

The boss asked the guy to weigh a pound of cement gypsum for Sister Qiu, wrapped it in hemp paper, tied it with a straw rope and handed it to Sister Qiu, Sister Qiu counted out eight copper plates and gave them to the boss, and then left.

Before leaving, the boss couldn't help but ask: "Little lady, why do you want so much cement plaster?" ”

"Paint the wall!" Sister Qiu replied crisply, and walked away with Lin Zhun with a smile.

The boss and the guy were all stunned, and the guy asked in confusion for a long time: "Paint the wall...... Don't you use lime? Don't buy the wrong one for this little lady! ”

"You're stupid!" The boss smiled and said, "People must have other uses, so it's hard to finish talking to us." ”

After buying cement gypsum, Sister Qiu became more and more convinced that people in this era still don't know or that there is no technology to completely grasp the cement gypsum and water tofu, as long as she can make the water tofu, the market will not be a problem, Sister Qiu seems to be looking at the rolling wealth in front of her and beckoning to herself.

In addition to cement gypsum, Sister Qiu ran a few shops in the town to buy spices such as peppercorns, star anise, etc., and when she finished shopping, it was almost noon. Passing by the small restaurant in the town, smelling the aroma of food wafting out of the door, Sister Qiu felt hungry. The servants ran with her all morning, although Sister Qiu had the heart to invite them to dinner, but thinking about the fact that there are only more than 200 copper plates in her hands now, she is really stretched, so she can only give up, earn money backwards, and invite them to eat a good meal.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the four of them said goodbye and went back to their respective homes, and Sister Qiu asked them to come to her house in the afternoon and taste the "fresh things" she was going to make in the afternoon.

She still knows too little about this society, and she doesn't know the taste of the people in this place, if several families all think that the water tofu she makes is delicious, then it will definitely be accepted by other people, naturally, Sister Qiu likes these people from the bottom of her heart, these people helped her when she was most difficult, and she wants these people to try something good.

When they got home, Jia had already made a simple meal, and the dishes were still sent by Aunt Chunhua when she came over yesterday.

The carefully selected beans have been soaked overnight, and their hair has more than doubled. There is a wooden palm handle on the fine grinding plate, Jia Shi shook the handle, Sister Qiu added bean grains and water to the hole on the grinding plate, and with the rotation of the stone mill, the lacto-white soybean milk fell into the basin on the ground endlessly, diffusing the green fragrance.

"Sister Qiu, can you really make delicious water tofu with this cement gypsum?" Jia asked, laughing again, "Look, how many times have I asked you, it's amazing." ”

Sister Qiu nodded, and said with a smile: "You can make it in the afternoon, you will know if it is delicious or not, and I also called Aunt Chunhua's family and the donkey to come and try it." Mother, are you tired, do you want to stop for a while and grind? ”

The girl's heart aches for herself, and Jia's is naturally happy, but compared to the housework she had to do when she was in the Mei family, it couldn't be lighter, Jia's party wanted to open her mouth, and the two of them listened to the door to give people a polite beating.

"Sister-in-law, Sister Qiu! Are you at home? Open the door, it's me! ”

The two glanced at each other, and they all saw two points of panic in each other's eyes, listening to this sound, the person who came was actually Mei Tang!

After a few seconds, Sister Qiu was relieved from her panic and breathed a sigh of relief. A few of their mothers are really afraid of the oppression of the Mei family, and now even if they are separated and come out to live separately, when Mei Tang comes to the door, the first reaction is panic.

Mei Tang and the others on the side of the door were impatient, and the Jia family and his mother were firmly at home, and they increased the strength of beating the door, and shouted loudly: "Sister Qiu! Sister Qiu? Open the door! ”

Looking at the brand-new, thick wooden board door that still diffuses the fragrance of wood, Mei Tang was sour and jealous in her heart, and couldn't help but smack on the door panel, crossed her waist and pouted, a pair of eyes were all about to burst with sour water, the door of Lao Mei's house was made of dry firewood, and it was shabby.

It's all from a village, he naturally heard that Li Zhongquan paid for Sister Qiu and her mother to buy a door, which really didn't make it a taste in his heart to the top, Li Zhongquan is so rich, why didn't he give the Mei family some when he didn't split up? It's not stingy yet.

"The Li family is not a good thing!" Mei Tang chirped crookedly, "He is so rich, and his sister didn't see him take out walnuts and dates when she was at home!" ”

Sister Qiu was in the courtyard, but she didn't listen to what Mei Tang said by the door, she crooked her mouth at the moment, and responded, "Here!" ”

Considering that Jia and Sister Qiu are independent portals for two women, the wooden plank that Li Zhongquan bought for them has a palm-sized door opening on the door panel, and there is a small lintel behind the door.

Jia Shi was about to get up and open the door, but Sister Qiu stopped her and asked her to enter the house.

When Jia Shi entered the house, Sister Qiu moved a small board, put it next to the door, and opened the door with the small board. In fact, she doesn't have to be small, she can also look at the lintel on the doorway, but she can't block the doorway if it seems to be, and Mei Tang can look at the situation in the courtyard through the doorway.

"It turned out to be the second uncle, what's the matter?" Sister Qiu asked.

Mei Tang grimaced, and said impatiently: "What are you doing in the house?" I didn't come out to open the door for a long time! Why haven't you opened the door yet? ”

Sister Qiu blocked the door hole tightly, Mei Tang bent down to see nothing when she wanted to see it, and her heart was so angry that she didn't even open the door for him?!

"Second uncle, I just boiled medicine for my mother, and I can't leave." Sister Qiu preached.

Mei Tang frowned, rolled her eyes and said, "You open the door, your grandmother asked me to come over and see how your mother is doing." ”

Sister Qiu shook her head with a bitter face, "Second uncle, didn't Lang Zhong say it, my mother's illness will be too much, don't come in, if you also get it, what should I do?" My granny didn't cut me with a knife! ”

Mei Tang widened, "Where are you talking so much nonsense!" Tell you to open the door, and you will open it! When he was just wandering outside, he heard that Jia's fierce eldest sister, who was not like a woman, asked Lang Zhong to see Jia again, saying that the two Lang Zhong in front of him were misdiagnosed, and Jia was not seriously ill at all. He was shocked in his heart, could it be that the two Lang Lang invited by the Jiang family from the town were all inferior to the barefoot Lang in the countryside?

"Second uncle, I'm so scared of your appearance...... I don't dare to open it! Sister Qiu tried her best to make a frightened expression of a 10-year-old little girl, but it was really funny to see Mei Tang blowing her beard and eye-popping, she couldn't hold back the smile on her face at all, and finally said: "Second uncle, I still give my mother medicine." He simply closed the doorway with a "poof" and inserted the lintel.

Mei Tang was caught off guard, the door hole was slammed shut in front of his face, he staggered back a few steps in fright, and after relieving himself, Mei Tang was angry, raised his leg and kicked the door board, gritted his silver teeth and said: "Dead girl, you come out for me, I can't kill you stinky girl!" ”

"Second uncle, please spare me and my mother!" The sound of Sister Qiu's crying came from the courtyard, the voice was loud, like a big drama, "My mother also pointed to the two yuan that the family gave us to buy medicine to save my life, second uncle, I can't give you that money!" Second uncle, that money is what my father said he would give us! Second uncle, please, don't hit me! ”

Mei Tang angrily kicked the door panel twice, but the heavy wooden board did not move at all, but his feet in single linen shoes hurt terribly, he didn't touch a single hair of the little rabbit cub, and the little rabbit cub with a bad belly howled as if he was wrong.

The Zhuang family is all three or five families gathered together to live, the house is close, the main family mixed a few words, and the west family can hear it. Sister Qiu's voice was bright, a few words of crying came out, and a few people on the side immediately came out to see the excitement, and pointed at Mei Tang, who was standing at the door of Sister Qiu's house and kicked the door fiercely.

"Mei Er, you have a conscience as a person, and people are watching the sky!" An old woman with gray hair pointed to Meitang and preached with the support of her grandson.

There were a lot of people on the side, "Even the old lady Xiucai's life-saving money has to be taken away, and I lose my conscience!" ”

"Those who oppress sisters-in-law, nieces, orphans and widows are not afraid of retribution!"

"We don't have this in Xiaohe Town, why didn't I realize that Mei Lao Er and his mother are such people!"

Mei Tang can't stand it no matter how thick her face is, if Mei Tang is a smart brain, it is the best policy to walk quickly with his tail between his legs at this time, and after two days, the people in the village forgot about it, and it passed, but it is a pity that Mei Tang is not smart, after Mei Laoxiu died, he thought he was the boss of the family, except that he did not dare to disobey Mao's family, where did he suffer from this idleness, and immediately yelled at the lively people: "I didn't ask them for money!" Don't listen to Sister Qiu's nonsense! ”
