Chapter 07: First Preparation

Wang Song saw Shen An'an's soul-like expression from afar, and he was even more panicked when he walked. Hurriedly ran over and asked, "Sister An, what's going on?" "It's quite far from the mine, so what's going on inside, the outside doesn't know at all.

Shen Anan was afraid that Wang Song would see his mood swings, so he hurriedly whispered, "Let's go quickly, it will be dark if you go back later." ”

Seeing Shen An'an with his head down, looking panicked, but not telling him what happened, Wang Jin couldn't help but be even more suspicious in his heart. Busy asked again: "Are you really okay?" ”

Shen Anan hurriedly raised his head, looked at Wang Song and said with a smile, "It's really okay, my father still praises me for the delicious food?" ”

Seeing that there was a clear silence in her two big eyes, as if nothing had really happened, Wang Song relieved himself. I don't know, Shen An'an's feet hurt like a knife.

When he went back, Shen Anan was even more silent than when he came.

By the time Shen Anan and Wang Song returned to Taoyuan Village, it was already dark. The two said a few words, and if they met tomorrow, they went home separately.

After returning home, everything was as usual at home, but when Shen Anan entered the door, he almost collided with the black shadow in the house.

"Mom!" The two women screamed at the same time, and Cao Shi looked up and realized that it was Shen An'an.

She suddenly shouted: "Die, why don't you say anything when you come back." ”

Shen An'an was holding a sigh of relief in his heart, so he replied angrily: "How do I know that you are at the door, what are you doing, wandering around here this big night." ”

Cao Shi hurriedly hugged Shen Anshan, who had been hiccups, in front of her, "Brother Shan, I ate a ball at night, and I have been burping here, and I can't get it any way." ”

Shen Anan couldn't help but be angry and helpless. "Mother, didn't I tell you, these potato balls are very sticky and indigestible, and children like Brother Shan can't eat more."

Cao couldn't help but glance at Shen An'an, and replied, "You know this thing is not good, and you still make it for us to eat, aren't you intent on harming people?" Fortunately, Brother Shan is fine, if something happens, see that I don't peel your skin. ”

Knowing that he couldn't communicate with an ignorant woman like Cao, Shen Anan didn't say much.

She hurriedly took Brother Shan'er's hand and pinched his tiger mouth several times in a row. There were two more slaps on his back, and the mountain brother immediately stopped hiccups.

Originally, Shen Anan wanted to give Brother Shan a needle, but she didn't do it for fear of scaring the Cao family. Pinching the tiger's mouth can dredge the meridians and make people's breath smooth, and then pat it on the back a few times, and the qi can go down.

Cao Shi saw that Shen An'an pressed twice here and pinched there, and after a while, he stopped burping. Cao's heart was even more surprised, her own daughter, she knew.

This little girl usually doesn't even know a few big characters, why did she suddenly know this. Could it be that these crafts of hers were learned from that old man, but they didn't even pay the tuition.

Cao Shi hurriedly grabbed Shen An'an's hand, but found that her hand was small, but in her small hand, she could already feel a thin layer of calluses. This is what she does on a daily basis.

Cao continued to stretch out his hand again, touching Shen An'an's face and body, but he felt Shen An'an's goosebumps.

"Mother, what are you doing, it's scary." Shen Anan hurriedly said, and was about to shake off her hand and go to the house, but she stopped her.

"I ask you, where did you fall from a tree and break your head. What do you hate most? ”

Shen Anan didn't know why, but when he saw Cao's appearance, it seemed that he was trying to test her. She hurriedly replied: "I picked and stole the dates of Aunt Wang's house in the east of the village, fell under the tree, and broke my head. I hate eating toon the most. ”

The expression on Cao's face suddenly relaxed, and he said in his heart, what this girl said is not wrong at all, that is her daughter.

"Mother, what are you asking me for?" Shen Anan asked deliberately.

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually, your father is okay, you're tired, wash and sleep." As Cao spoke, Brother Shan urinated and prepared to go into the house to sleep.

"Mother, I want to go to the town once tomorrow, I heard that there will be a market tomorrow." Shen Anan wants to go to the town tomorrow, and he can't say that he will have to pass the Cao clan.

"What are you doing in town, we don't have anything to buy?" Listening to Cao's tone, I'm afraid it won't be allowed.

When Shen Anan heard this, his mouth couldn't help but deflat, and he said in his heart, it's not that he has nothing to buy, it's that he has no money to buy it. Her eyes rolled, and she had an idea. "I heard from Sister Osmanthus's mother that those ladies in the town have new shoe patterns. I want to go and get some back, and besides, aren't the shoes you made these days going to be delivered? ”

The sister osmanthus that Shen An'an said in his mouth is also a girl in their village, because of her ingenuity, she was taken by a rich family in the town to be a needlework girl.

Fortunately, Sister Zhao Guihua and Shen Anan had a good relationship before, and some of the needlework that the Cao family received was also sold by Zhang Luo.

Cao also knew that this girl in her family was so strong, and she had a good relationship with Zhao Guihua, thinking that she had been at home all these days and hadn't been to the town for a long time, maybe she would go there to relax, and she would forget about those unhappy things.

Cao thought about it and readily agreed. "Then you go early tomorrow and come back early, remember to go by yourself, and don't pay attention to that kid from the Wang family." Cao's face was in the mood of protecting the calf, but she didn't think that Shen Anan was wearing these broken straw shoes on her feet, and she could walk more than 20 miles? She also thinks too highly of her daughter.

"Hey, I know, mother." Shen An'an smiled sweetly at once. Originally, she still wanted her brother to help, but now that she saw that the Cao family had promised her, she wouldn't bother Shen Anting. What Shen Anting said, Cao still listened. It seems that she, a mother, also has a very serious patriarchal thinking.

However, these are also things that Shen Anan can't change for a while. She had to make sure she had money in her hands in order to be able to speak in this family.

Immediately, Shen Anan was busy in the kitchen, and what she would do was the work of concocting herb rhubarb. Raw rhubarb is not worth much, and to sell it for a good price, the herbs must be cleaned, baked, boiled, steamed in water, or roasted with wine and vinegar.

There are several kinds of rhubarb, one is raw rhubarb, cut into slices, used to make tea and drink, this effect is the most general, but also the most ordinary.

There is also a kind of wine rhubarb, raw rhubarb, spray it evenly with wine, and then fry it slowly over low heat, fry it until the color deepens, and then put it to cool slightly. Rhubarb charcoal requires higher technology, and it needs to be fried with martial fire until the appearance of rhubarb is slightly black, but it cannot be all scorched, which requires some certain skill and mastery of heat.

Shen Anan closed his eyes and thought hard about the production method of rhubarb in the medical book. Now she understands the truth that books are hated less when they are used. If she could, she really wanted to move all the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treasure Book of Chinese Herbal Medicine" in front of her and study them one by one.

The Shen family's little wine was not enough for Shen Saburo to drink, but for his own money-making plan, Shen Anan still secretly took a lot from the wine cellar. Thinking that Shen Sanlang only drank once in three days. When he drank it again, he would definitely find that there was less wine.

Shen An said with peace of mind, she borrowed some for emergency response first, at most, when she sold the rhubarb, and then gave her father some wine, and made up for it.

There is no vinegar here yet, so Shen An'an can only concoct rhubarb according to the limited conditions here and her pitiful processing method.
