Chapter 61: The Qiu Family's Thoughts
Bidding farewell to Huang Wangcai, Liu Wu went to Zhengde Street to find Zhao Hong, and saw Zhao Hong standing on Qiushan's side from a distance.
Akiyama has an indifferent face, and only when a guest buys a bun does he show the same standardized smile.
Liu Wu couldn't help frowning, and suddenly he didn't like this Autumn Mountain in his heart.
walked in front of the two, nodded at Akiyama, took Zhao Hong's hand and said, "Da Hong, it's not early, let's go home." ”
Zhao Hong looked at Qiu Shan reluctantly, her eyelashes drooped, and she said in a low voice: "Brother Shan, I, I'm going home." ”
Akiyama nodded indifferently, picked out ten buns from the burden, and handed them to Liu Wu: "Miss Liu, this is the meat bun made of noodles and stuffing in the morning, you eat it slowly on the way back." ”
Zhao Hong muttered softly: "Brother Shan, I didn't eat it either." ”
Akiyama's face turned red, and he replied: "I, I let the two of you eat, you don't have to eat ten more to support, leave two for the catkins." ”
This time it was Zhao Hong's turn to blush, every time she came, in order to let Akiyama sell the buns quickly, she bought ten buns, and every time she ate it, her stomach was round, and now her stomach is bigger, even if she eats ten buns, she won't hold it anymore.
Liu Wu didn't take the bun, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Qiushan, you still have to rely on this to support your family, I can't ask for it, and besides, I've already eaten it." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhao Hong's hand and was about to leave.
Akiyama eagerly wanted to pull the sleeve of the catkins, his hand reached halfway and retracted, and said with a gloomy face: "I, I forgot that Miss Liu has good cooking skills, it must be, it must be disgusted that my noodles are not good enough, and the stuffing of Nianghe is not fragrant......"
Liu Fu glared at Zhao Hong with disgust, It must be her big mouth and long tongue, she taught Zhao's buns, making Sixi pills and blood sausages, and told Akiyama without reservation, and now she has already poured out her heart and lungs for Akiyama before she gets married, this kind of stupid spores are really rare.
After all, Akiyama had a life-saving grace for the catkins, and it was not good to save his face too much, so the catkins had to take the buns, took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, and counted them carefully, no more, no less, just enough to buy ten buns.
Seeing that Qiu Shan didn't want to take it, Liu Wu put the copper plate directly on the edge of the basket, took Zhao Hong's hand and left.
Akiyama looked at the slender and graceful back of the catkins, and then looked at the tiger-backed bear waist figure of Zhao Hong beside her, and felt even more sad in her heart, picked up the buns that had not been sold out, and hurriedly walked home.
When I arrived at home, the steamed bun shop of less than ten square meters was steaming.
Seeing Qiu Shan come back, a woman's face poked out of the steam, and she said with a happy face: "Brother Qiu, today's buns are all sold out so early?" ”
Akiyama sat sullenly on a small wooden note outside the shop, silent.
Qiu Niangzi walked out of the shop, reached out and lifted the blue cloth on the basket, and found that there were still a lot of buns left in the two baskets, and said with a displeased expression: "Brother Qiu, why did you come back before you sold them all?" Don't walk a few more alleys? Buying a big house in bluestone, there are still more than two taels of silver, we have to make enough money quickly, so that we can go to Lao Zhao's house to propose marriage, and marry the golden rooster of Dahong, if you sell soup dumplings in the future, you will be rich and noble in the future. ”
It's better not to mention this matter, but when he mentioned it, Akiyama was even more unhappy, threw the towel on his shoulder on the basket, and snorted in a muffled voice: "Mother, what do you know?" The chicken that laid the golden eggs was not Zhao Hong, but the catkins, and the Zhao family was a recipe to learn from the catkins. ”
The more Qiu Shan spoke, the louder he became, and Qiu's father turned back from the alley next to him with the burden, and replaced the blanket full of copper coins to Qiu Niangzi, and said with a puzzled face: "Brother Qiu, you usually listen to your mother the most, what's wrong with you today?" ”
Akiyama pouted and didn't speak, coldly rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Qiu Niangzi shook her head at Qiu's father, lifted the cage drawer, and filled Qiu's father's basket with buns, while asking, "Brother Qiu, you said that catkins are the chickens that lay golden eggs?" Whose girl is catkins? What the hell is going on? ”
Akiyama simply held his head and nested in the wooden za, like a turtle that had retracted into a turtle's shell.
Qiu Niangzi's brain flashed and thundered, remembering what happened a few days ago, and suddenly realized: "Isn't it the little girl you rescued last time when you helped ventilate the news?" ”
Akiyama nodded sullenly.
"Is it really the soup dumpling recipe she taught the Zhao family?" Qiu Niangzi asked again in disbelief.
Akiyama replied impatiently: "Not only the soup dumplings, but even the four happy balls and blood sausages were also taught by her." ”
Qiu Niangzi's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, her high protruding cheekbones trembled excitedly, and she slapped her face and said, "Brother Qiu, what's so worrying about this?" It's a great event!! The Liu family is poor, and you are her life-saving benefactor, as long as we make the matchmaker give face, and then give up two taels of silver to hire, their family will be happy to give incense to their ancestors......"
Akiyama opened his mouth and wanted to say that this was not suitable, Zhao Hong ran to the county seat twice in three days, and told his mother about the practice of Sixi pills, and people who knew him well on the street knew that he had saved money to buy a house, and he married Zhao Hong in the spring.
But when the words came to his mouth, he remembered the catkins' big eyes that were as smart as foxes, and even the roots of his ears were red. In the end, he just lowered his head in shame and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Qiu Niangzi saw her son's concerns, pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "It's the old Zhao girl's leg that is not valuable, and we didn't let her come, besides, our family hasn't hired it, isn't it up to us to marry a girl from whom?" It's so decided, tomorrow my mother will ask someone to go to Liuhe Village. ”
Qiu Niangzi turned around with a happy face and rushed into the misty shop, thinking to herself, the soup dumplings brought by Zhao Hong are really delicious, and she has tried to wrap them several times without success.
Listening to Qiu Niangzi's words, Qiu Shan's originally shaky heart instantly became firm.
Mother is right, she didn't force Zhao Hong to buy steamed buns, she didn't force her to send soup dumplings to herself, and she didn't force her to teach her mother to make Sixi balls, everything was her wishful thinking, she never invited a matchmaker to come to the door, let alone talk about getting married.
Getting married, this is a big thing in a lifetime, why not marry a handsome and ingenious girl, but instead marry a girl with a big belly and strength like a cow?! I'm not a fool!
The corners of Qiu Shan's mouth are raised, his eyebrows are slightly happy, and his cheekbones are a little abrupt, and there are three points that look like Qiu Niangzi.
The man took up the burden of selling steamed buns and walked down the street, shouting at the steamed buns in his mouth, and his voice was much lighter than before.
......
"Su'er, why are you polite, Brother Shan said that you will take the bun for you, why do you give money so hard, and count it so clearly, I see that Brother Shan's face has changed." Zhao Hong held the bun in her arms and whispered in Liu Wu's ear.
Liu Wu raised his eyelids, and Zhao Hong couldn't see the emotions contained in them, only saw Liu Wu's mouth open and open, and said with a solemn face: "You give ten buns a day for silver, why don't I give it?" You, in what capacity do you want to come? ”
Hearing Zhao Hong's brain knotted, it took a long time to reflect the meaning of Liu Wu's words, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Liu Wu said, but it was wrong everywhere.
Didn't you become a family with Akiyama right away?
Seeing Zhao Hong's dead elm pimple head, and completely failed to comprehend his words to wake her up, Liu Fu was so angry that he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and walked straight ahead, looking for the He Medical Hall that the shopkeeper Huang said.
This He's medical coffin has a cave man surnamed He, who has superb medical skills, and comes back twice a year, for two months each time, and only sees ten patients a day.
The temper is comparable to a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and none of the ten patients who make appointments every day will go to the clinic if there is one less one; I won't charge any more.
Liu Wu snorted lightly, this He Langzhong is really interesting, and he also made a "group purchase" when he saw a doctor.
Liu Wu is looking for He Langzhong not to be for others, for the sake of Ah Huang's deteriorating body, and the number of chills in the middle of the night is becoming more and more frequent. I once looked for Hualang, but I only saw a cold, and the medicine prescribed did not get better after drinking and paying more.
The geographical location of this Ho's Medical Center is relatively remote, and there is an endless stream of people seeking treatment, and most of them are disappointed. It is said that the consultation for the next seven days has been scheduled.
Liu Wu did not give up, walked into the hall of He's Medical Hall, and saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting on a rocking chair, with a long beard and a long ruler, and his eyes narrowed into a slit, so that people could not tell whether they were open or closed.
Liu Fu respectfully bowed to Lao Langzhong and said: "Mr. He, my brother is seriously ill, and his body is often cold, not an external injury, not a cold, I don't know why, I want to ask Mr. to come to Liuhe Village for a diagnosis." ”
He Langzhong's half-squinted eyes simply closed, and he snored softly in his mouth.
Hu Lian, a junior apprentice, walked over with a gloomy face and said to Liu Fu and Zhao Hong: "He Langzhong never goes out for consultation, he can only make an appointment, and the patients in the master's seven days are already full." The two girls should leave first. ”
Liu Fu nodded and said: "I know that Mr. is not a doctor for incurable diseases, he is not a terminal illness, and his brother's illness cannot be treated in Langzhong in Jiangyin County. ”
He Langzhong finally opened his slender eyes like willow leaves, glanced at the willow catkins and said, "The agitation method is useless to me. ”
Liu Wu was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, and tried to squeeze out a few tears, He Langzhong flipped his palm, and I don't know when an extra porcelain bottle came out of his hand, put it under Liu Wu's cheek and said: "The bitter meat trick is useless to me, these tears, I have an urgent use." ”
The half-brittle knees of the catkins couldn't stand anymore, and the half-condensed tears were also embarrassingly hanging on the eyelashes, and they couldn't drip if they wanted to.
He Langzhong took back the porcelain vase, sighed and said, "It's really a useless thing, even the tears are held back." ”
Liu Fuhu asked, "Sir, what is the use of your tears?" Why don't you collect some for you? ”
He Langzhong sighed and said, "I have already received a hundred porcelain vases, and I still haven't developed a way to make people laugh." ”
"A way to make people laugh?" The catkins were surprised.
Apprentice Hu Lian saw that the master rarely opened the conversation box and briefly explained the matter.
He Langzhong has only 10 patients a day, and he is not nervous, and he spends his free time playing chess and chatting with his peers in the neighborhood.
Because He Langzhong was stubborn, when a neighbor begged him to see one more patient, he refused without hesitation, and the neighbor was resentful from then on.
The neighbor suggested that whoever of the two would make Cong Nan, the new shopkeeper of the tavern next door, smile, and the losing side would kowtow to the winning side and confess his guilt.
Seeing that the day was coming, He Langzhong was at a loss, he had studied the composition of tears, some sad, some hypocritical, and some happy.......
There are hundreds of prescriptions added, some with acacia flowers, some with bupleurum and some with mint......
I drank so much that I and my apprentice Hu Lian's mouths were bitter and turned into yellow lotus, not only did they not smile, but their mood became worse and worse.
