Chapter 264: The Old Yu Family Who Can't Open the Pot (Fourth Watch)

"You ......," Feng jumped to his feet angrily.

He also understood what Yu Shun said, that is, to let him spit out all the two taels of silver.

He's quitting!

So many medicinal materials, it costs hundreds of dollars, so it won't be given away in vain, right?

Besides, it's just a small skill of carving insects, and it's worth his money to learn?

Don't learn, don't learn!

Feng lame carried his medicine box on his back and left in a huff.

Xia Qiqi asked Yu Shun and Yu Fu to prepare the small wooden strips of the length they needed, as well as hemp rope.

She took matters into her own hands and fixed Old Man Yu's legs with wooden strips, and after confirming that the bones would not be misplaced again, Xia Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second uncle, fifth uncle, Feng Cripple, for the sake of money, it is estimated that he will not give up stealing the teacher so quickly. As long as my grandfather doesn't have a headache and brain fever, don't let him enter the house to check his legs and feet! Xia Qiqi said.

"Good!" Yu Shun nodded.

"Then when you dismantle this thing......"

"I'll bring a Lang Zhong here!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Fugen is much more reliable than this Feng lame, if Fugen is here today, Xia Qiqi estimates that it will be a matter of a few hundred dollars to die.

It will definitely not be as insatiable as this Feng lame.

Moreover, if Fugen didn't know that after the fracture, the bones needed to be fixed with a wooden stick, she could just teach Fugen.

Teaching him to be a Fuhui patient and teaching Feng to be a lame man gave him another way to make money.

"It's almost noon, I'm going to cook for you!" Mrs. Yu stood up and shouted at everyone.

"I'm going to do it!" Xia Qiqi spoke.

Lu Jiu stood beside her, although he didn't speak, but what he meant couldn't be more obvious.

He naturally followed Xia Qiqi.

The three of them went to the stove room to work for lunch, and Yu Shun and Yu Fu took care of Old Man Xia in Old Man Xia's room.

Although the stove room of Lao Yu's family is simple, it is better than that the house is big enough, with two earthen stoves and two iron pots.

But Chai He didn't, and when Mrs. Yu went to uncover the rice jar, there was not even rice in the rice jar.

In the corner of the stove room, there is a small pile of sweet potatoes.

This is the staple food of the Lao Yu family?

Before Xia Qiqi could ask, Mrs. Yu sighed, "There is not even a grain of rice, is the old man eating these sweet potatoes these days?" ”

Mrs. Xia was very distressed.

When she went out, she had prepared rice for a few days.

"Grandma, where is there firewood to pick up around here? I'm going to pick it up with Ah Jiu! Xia Qiqi said.

"It's too far, I'll go to the neighbor's house to borrow a bundle of firewood first, and then I'll survive lunch first." Mrs. Yu said.

"Rice is also going to borrow it...... Forget it, go buy some! I brought the money here. ”

In addition to the two taels of silver that Xia Qiqi was going to give to the old Yu family, he always carried a copper plate with him.

Not much, just more than a hundred.

If it is replaced with rice, it is only twelve and a half catties of rice, although brown rice is cheaper, but there are patients, how can you eat it?

When Mrs. Yu heard this, her eyes turned red again, "Qiqi girl, grandmother thank you!" If you hadn't come today, your grandfather's life would have been gone!

Grandma has no money, but there are a lot of greens in the vegetable garden, you pick all those vegetables, take them to the town to sell, and grandma will pay you back little by little! ”

The old lady knew that this granddaughter was not easy, and it was hard to save a child.

But she is old, and she doesn't know any other way to make money.

For the time being, that's all it takes, it's a little bit more, it's a little bit more.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? If you don't pay it back, it's all a family! I am my granddaughter, and in my heart, you are a hundred times closer than my own grandmother!

Those two taels of silver were originally intended to improve the life of your family and my grandfather! Now that I can cure my grandfather, it can be regarded as making the best use of everything, and the flowers are worth it! Xia Qiqi said.

Mrs. Yu looked at Xia Qiqi, her face full of emotion, "Qiqi ......"

"If you see anything else, let's not talk about it! Borrow Chai He first, the meal is ready, and when we have lunch, let's go find the person who injured my grandfather, this matter is not over! Xia Qiqi said.

"Yes! Okay, I'll go. ”

One hundred dollars, Xia Qiqi took it out.

Mrs. Yu sold 14 catties of rice at a price of seven wen a catty.

The price is a penny cheaper than in town.

She went to the vegetable garden to pick some greens, passed by the yard, and saw the lonely old hen, the only old hen in the family, which had been raised for three years.

The chicken feathers are almost bald, but the thunder can't move every day, and it will lay an egg, and Mrs. Yu has been reluctant to eat it in the past, but now this situation is ......

The old lady bit it, decided to slaughter it, gave Qiqi and Ah Jiu a taste, and made up for the old man's body by the way.

The hen was raised by Mrs. Yu, and Mrs. Yu grabbed a handful of corn, and the hen rushed over, and she grabbed the hen with her hand.

"Quack" The hen let out a few screams, as if she understood that Mrs. Yu was going to slaughter it.

It screamed so pitifully, Mrs. Yu didn't look over, went to the stove room and got a kitchen knife, went down with a knife, and wiped the chicken's neck.

Blood poured out, all into the bowl she had prepared.

When the chickens stopped struggling, Mrs. Yu's eyes turned red again.

The family is too poor, and a chicken has raised feelings.

Killing this hen is worse than digging up the meat of Mrs. Yu.

But thinking of the old man lying on the kang, she wiped away her tears and boiled a pot of water.

Hair-shedding, belly-breaking, singeing.

After these processes were completed one by one, Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu, who were strolling nearby, entered the backyard.

Seeing the chicken feathers in one place, Xia Qiqi instantly understood something.

She rushed into the stove room, and Mrs. Xia had already begun to chop chickens.

"Grandma, why did you slaughter the chicken?" Xia Qiqi looked surprised.

When she came in, she saw the lone chicken, which should be the treasure of Mrs. Yu's family.

It's all slaughtered, how can I live in the days to come?

"It's okay, the chicken is gone, it's gone! Your grandfather is still waiting for this chicken to make up for himself! Mrs. Yu comforted Xia Qiqi.

When Xia Qiqi heard this, he sighed in his heart.

"It's also done, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, I'll ask who hatches the chicks at home tomorrow, and send some to my grandmother!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"Don't, don't spend that unjust money, we don't raise chickens!" Mrs. Yu said.

The old lady was afraid that Xia Qiqi would spend an extra penny in Lao Yu's house, and she would feel distressed when she saw it.

Xia Qiqi didn't continue, helping the old lady choose vegetables and wash vegetables.

She had to do it herself for lunch, and Mrs. Yu agreed.

A plate of green vegetables, a plate of bean paste marinated in a jar for a long time, and then a pot of chicken soup.

You don't need to put anything in the chicken soup, a little salt, a few slices of old ginger, put half a pot of water, put the chicken in the pot piece by piece, and stew it directly over a firewood fire.

The soup stewed in the iron pot is completely different from the modern soup stuff, and the taste of the soup is completely different.

Whether it is umami or fragrance, it is more intense.

Xia Qiqi is so good that almost the whole stove room is filled with the fragrance of chicken soup.

Mrs. Yu also went to call the two brothers Yu Shun and Yu Fu to eat at this time.
