Three or four days later, Jiang Xi's family's squeezed vegetables were ready, and it happened to be the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, their family got up, and Jiang Xi followed Li to the kitchen, and the meals for the Chinese New Year's Eve had to be prepared from the morning.

The old man killed a duck and fed it for more than three months, and her duck is not small, so it is perfect for eating meat.

When killing the ducks, Jiang Xi deliberately came out of the kitchen to remind the old man.

"Master, when you kill the duck, remember to keep the duck down, I will be useful then."

"Holo." Although I didn't know what Jiang Xi was doing with this duck down, the old man still helped her stay.

The duck was killed, it was a whole one, and the old man brought it to the kitchen, intending to cut it open and take out the internal organs, and then cut it into pieces for stew.

When he just opened the duck's belly, Jiang Xi had a whim and came up with the idea of making roast duck.

"Master, can you not slaughter this duck?"

"What?"

"I mean don't cut it into pieces, I want to make roast duck."

"Roast duck? What's the matter, is it the same as a roast leg of lamb? "When it comes to getting food, Li is like a good student.

"Well, almost." Jiang Xi pondered for a moment and said.

In fact, there is still a big difference between roast duck and roast lamb shank, and you must have that kind of hanging stove first.

However, there is no such condition at home now, so it can only be roasted on an iron plate for the time being.

Li was burning firewood, and sausages and bacon were now boiling in the pot, and the fragrance was constantly coming out of the cracks on the edge of the pot, causing people to salivate.

Last time, because of eating lamb legs, their family specially made a grill.

Jiang Xi and Yuan Xiu brought the grill to the yard, set up a fire underneath, and began to roast slowly.

The duck feathers were put away and packed in a small basket made of bamboo, and now the duck feathers were too few, and Jiang Xi thought that when there were more in the future, she would wash the duck feathers and dry them with incense, and remove the fishy smell, so that she could use duck down to make clothes and gloves, and she couldn't say that she could still use a duvet next year.

At noon, the family will have some rice, and in the evening it will be considered a main meal.

In the evening, before the sun has set, many families in the village are already eating Chinese New Year's Eve.

On their side in Jiangxi, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten as early as possible on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is said that some people have already started to eat dinner when they apply (that is, around three or four o'clock in the afternoon).

On the table, there was a lot of food.

Winter, especially in the north, is the least afraid of food spoiling.

Four plates of cured meat, namely sausage, sauce meat, bacon, and salt meat, and three plates of stir-fried vegetables, namely pork liver with green onions, braised pig's trotters, cabbage and pork belly, two steamed vegetables, roasted white and steamed fish, and a large bone broth.

In addition, the duck roasted by Jiang Xi and Yuan Xiu has now been put on the table by Li's slices on a plate.

Lee's knife work is excellent, the duck meat slices are very thin, and each slice has a little crispy duck skin on it.

It's a pity that Jiangxi's ducks are not very fat, and some are a little thin, otherwise they will taste better when roasted. The only fly in the ointment is probably that it is baked on the grill, which is not as beautiful as the color and luster baked in the hanging oven, and the taste is also a lot worse.

Such a roast duck obviously does not meet the standards required by Jiang Xi, and she can only temporarily let go of this matter in her heart.

The staple food is naturally dumplings, delicious cabbage and pork stuffed dumplings, and the juice is sprinkled in the mouth after a bite, which is indescribably delicious.

Jiangxi also came out with a small jar of wine, which was already one of the only two small jars left in the house.

Washed the cups and poured a glass for everyone.

"Let's do one, so that everyone can sit together and eat such a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year, and also for our family to have a better development next year!"

Jiang Xi picked up his wine glass and drank it.

She doesn't have much wine in her glass, and the wine doesn't smell strong, so even if the child drinks it, it doesn't matter.

The Li family and the old man also drank the wine in the cup one after another, "In order for our family to have a better development next year." ”

After drinking and eating, Li suddenly sighed.

"It would be better if the husband was also at home."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a "pop", and the old man's chopsticks fell.

"What are you still mentioning him for, it's been more than a year, and he hasn't come back yet, I don't recognize that unfilial son for a long time!" The old man, who had always been kind, unexpectedly lost his temper, and everyone looked at him.

The old man also seemed to realize that his anger was too inexplicable, and he quickly closed his mouth, picked up the wine jar and poured himself another glass.

Li bit his lower lip and wanted to defend his husband, he must have something delayed, and he would not be an unfilial son.

However, as a daughter-in-law, how could she contradict her father-in-law, so when the words came to her mouth, she still swallowed them.

And the old lady, who had always been silent, spoke at this time.

"Who do you say is unfilial! He is our son, the pride of our Jiang family, he was admitted to Xiucai at such a young age, how can you say that about your son! If he doesn't come back, there must be a reason why he won't come back. ”

At this time, the old man had already drunk a few glasses of wine, and his face had turned red, with a slight drunkenness.

I don't know if the old man deliberately made himself drunk, or if he couldn't drink well.

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, she heard the drunken old man sneer.

"Pride? Do you still think of him as proud? I wish I hadn't had that brute! If it weren't for him, how could Dr. Yuan, who has been helping our family, have an accident!

I said that he was not filial, and that was still light! If he doesn't come back, if he doesn't come back, he's already married outside, and people don't want us anymore! ”

The old man's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting everyone in their family on the body and heart.

The person who can't believe it the most is the Li family.

She blinked and looked at the old man blankly.

"Dad, what you just said is all false, right?"

"Hehe," the old man laughed, this matter had been pressing on his heart for too long, too long! Since he had already said that he had leaked his mouth, he simply confided in everything.

"I wish it was all fake! When I went to the county seat before, Dr. Yuan was waiting for me to tell me about it, and he asked us to pay attention to that unfilial brute, maybe he would fight us again.

The last time I went to the market, I met our old neighbors on the hill, and they told me that our house was on fire! If we hadn't moved early, we might have become a pile of ashes by now, and it would be us!

I'm just raising a beast and it's not as good as that! ”

The old man had tears in his eyes, and remembered that when he suddenly heard the news a few days ago, it was like a lightning strike.

Their family has never made an enemy for so many years, except for that beast who is not as good as the beast, who else would do that!

Jiang Xi was stunned when he heard this, their house was burned, it didn't seem to be her cheap daddy's business, it was the trouble caused by Song San.

However, she can't say it in public, if she lets her family know that they have secretly offended such a person, she is afraid that she will be worried all day long, and there will be no stable life to live.

Since Dr. Yuan's matter was done by Jiang Xiucai, he simply put this charge on him.

Speaking of which, the person who can deal with Dr. Yuan must at least be an official, after all, even the county lord here sold his face at that time. Businessmen don't have that face.

Li Shi cried, couldn't believe it, but had to believe it, the old lady couldn't get up directly in one breath and fainted, and a good Chinese New Year's Eve meal was all destroyed because of Jiang Xiucai, who had never appeared.

Jiang Xi and Yuan Xiu helped carry the old lady to the bed, but fortunately, Yuan Xiu knew some pharmacology, and after pressing the person, he did some other treatments, and the old lady woke up.

He wrote another recipe and handed it to Jiang Xi and asked her to go to the town to get medicine.

Now Dr. Yuan's pharmacy is gone, it is a pharmacy opened by another family surnamed Li, they are from the county seat, and this town is just a branch.

The doctor who sat in the clinic couldn't compare to Dr. Yuan's medical skills, but the cost of medicine was much higher, which made the people in the town complain, and they all prayed for Dr. Yuan to return sooner.

Even so, the business of the Li family's pharmacy is still not bad.

There is only one pharmacy in the town, and so many people have to be treated, even if it is more expensive, everyone can only pinch their noses and admit it. Only a few rich and noble families will go to the county seat to get medicine, but those people generally go to the county seat to have business, and seeing a doctor is just incidental, and ordinary people can't even afford to pay for the journey, and who will go all the way to see a doctor.

After taking the prescription, Jiangxi grabbed a handful of copper coins and hurried to the town.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the town is not lively, mainly because it is too cold. In addition, it was night again, and the shops were basically closed, except for the red lanterns hanging on the eaves.

By the light of the lantern, Jiang Xi finally made it to the pharmacy, and they were about to close.

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Xi quickly ran over, "I want to get some medicine." ”

The guy who was closing the door gave her a slightly reproachful look, as if to say that she had come at the wrong time and disturbed their rest time.

"What kind of medicine to catch, the doctors here are all eating, no one has seen it, you better go back." As he spoke, he was going to push the river out.

Jiang Xi sideways avoided it and took out the prescription.

"I have a prescription, you just need to watch it and help me get it, you don't need a doctor!"

This guy is picking up medicine during the day, Jiangxi has passed by here several times and saw him catching medicine, and he is still a little glad in his heart, fortunately, it is not a rough handyman who closes the door, otherwise he really won't be able to get medicine today.

The guy glared at her, and then reluctantly took the prescription.

"It's still written on straw paper, which doctor prescribed the medicine, poorer than a ghost, and can't even afford serious paper." After muttering a few words, he still went to the pharmacy and took out the medicine.

"Six pieces of silver." Throwing the medicine bag, the man came and opened his mouth.

"How much?!"

"Six dollars, do you want love!"
