Chapter 023: Don't Steal Food
That night, Yao Wenjing had been busy for a long time and had been cooking food for Xie Laogen.
In her previous life, in order to treat her son, as long as it was a lucrative job, she did almost everything she could, and for a while, she worked part-time as a nanny in a rich man's house, so she practiced her cooking skills.
Especially knowing the trick of taking care of the elderly and children, Xie Laogen has developed pneumonia because of a cold and cough, so he naturally has to pay special attention to eating.
When she left the commune yesterday, Yao Wenjing bought a barrel bone at the meat stall, because it was a stall business, and there was a lot of meat on it, and the boss only charged her three cents, which happened to come in handy.
After eating, Mrs. Li went back to her room in silence, Yao Wenjing wanted to ask a few words about her uncle, but after thinking about it, at this time, she still shouldn't cause her grandmother's memories, what if she gets sick again.
She turned around and went into the stove room, skillfully lit the fire with straw, then boiled a pot of boiling water to pass the bones of the barrel through the blood, and then began to boil the soup, and in a short time the smell of meat wafted out of the room.
In the soup, she also added two cordyceps to it, cordyceps is the best for nourishing lungs, these two cordyceps are still what she just went to the front village to ask Uncle Long for.
Looking at the two cordyceps in his hand, Yao Wenjing's heart churned violently.
She remembered that decades later, her son's illness reached the advanced stage of kidney syndrome, and an old Chinese medicine doctor suggested that she could give her child Cordyceps, which could relieve the symptoms well.
But at that time, Cordyceps was already an existence that she couldn't afford, just such a small one, it would cost dozens of yuan, eat one or two a day, and eat it for a long time, which could cost Yao Wenjing's life.
Later, there was no way, she also ran back to Phoenix Mountain to dig by herself, the village said that she was a foreigner after she got married, and she had to spend money to get a certificate to go up the mountain, or the old Uncle Long helped her say a few good words, so she was qualified to go up the mountain.
That time, Yao Wenjing dug up more than 100 roots, which was enough for the child to eat for several months, and his condition was really much better.
Later, every year in May, Yao Wenjing had to find a way to go back to Fenghuang Village, if nothing else, just to dig Cordyceps for his son to continue his life.
Yao Wenjing looked at the big bone broth and the stewed Cordyceps in the pot, and suddenly had an idea, now is the season for Cordyceps to come out, why can't he go up the mountain to dig Cordyceps and then sell it to make money?
Of course, she could not have sold the money to the Commune rich.
Remembering that in her previous life, she asked Qian Fugui to buy Cordyceps once, at that time, Qian Fugui's words were very good, what do you say about the villagers, your child still has such a disease, how can I make your money, I just have to sell it to the doll to eat, you just say, how much do you want.
Yao Wenjing was so excited that she took out all the money on her body to buy it.
At that time, the price that Qian Fugui gave to Yao Wenjing was only half of the market price, and Yao Wenjing was so moved that he almost knelt down for him, but after taking it back, he found that it was fake.
It was made of starch and corn flour and gypsum, but it was a pity that she fell for such a fool out of trust in her fellow countrymen.
But when she came back to find Qian Fugui with fake cordyceps, Qian Fugui turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, and said that she was slanderous.
Suddenly thinking of this way to make money, Yao Wenjing was still a little excited, she was digging Cordyceps in the mountains in her dreams that night, and the Cordyceps sinensis all over the mountains was too busy to be busy.
Although Cordyceps has not yet been hyped in this era, and there are very few people in the village who are willing to dig up the mountain, she believes that as long as it can be sold in the county or provincial capital, it will definitely be sold at a good price.
The next morning, Yao Wenjing woke up laughing in a dream, she dreamed that she had dug dozens of catties of cordyceps and became a millionaire.
But when she woke up, she found that there was any cordyceps, and the cold of the night made her shrink into a lump in the thin quilt, and a gust of wind blew from the window, rustling the leaves of the plane trees outside the door.
It's time for her to get up and cook for Xie Laogen.
Yao Wenjing used the bone broth she had boiled last night to boil a porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork for Xie Laohe, and added some white radish to the remaining bone broth and meat, which should be enough for Xie Laogen to eat for a day.
After doing this, she packed it in two lunch boxes, and was just about to knock on Xie Yuanjiu's door, but when she opened the door, Xie Yuanjiu was already standing under the plane tree waiting for her.
"What the hell are you making and why is it so fragrant."
Xie Yuanjiu took the lunch box and wanted to open it to take a look, Yao Wenjing was afraid that he would steal it.
"It's all made for Grandpa Xie, don't steal it, you go faster, and you can catch up with Grandpa Xie for breakfast."
Xie Yuanjiu smiled dumbly, it seemed that he was a glutton, and the impression of being a gluttonous girl had long been ingrained in this little girl's heart, he didn't even dare to open the lunch box to look at it, and hurriedly put the lunch box back into his net pocket.
After taking a few steps, he said again.
"If you're fine, don't go to the commune, so that you won't meet Luo Xin, what are you going to cook for grandpa tomorrow, you tell me, I'll buy it by the way when I come back at night."
Yao Wenjing thought that if she wanted to go up the mountain to dig Cordyceps, she would have to buy a special small hoe at the agricultural machinery station, and she would have to go there anyway.
"No, I'm going to come to the commune agricultural machinery station tomorrow, you promised to protect me, you can't take the food I made and don't do anything, or you will wait for me at the agricultural machinery station tomorrow morning."
Walking on the way to the commune, Xie Yuanjiu wanted to laugh when he thought of Yao Wenjing's more serious appearance, this girl really doesn't suffer a loss when she does things, but she can smell the things in the lunch box through the lunch box, and she doesn't know what she added, why is it different from the usual meals.
Just for the meal she cooked for her grandfather, Xie Yuanjiu thought that he would be happy to let him be a bodyguard for the rest of his life.
Xie Yuanjiu did what he said, he really didn't steal a bite, and watched his grandfather drink the preserved egg and lean porridge little by little in the health center, and then looked satisfied, which was happier than eating it himself.
"Grandpa, Jing Yatou said, I'll make you something to eat tomorrow and bring it to you personally, but I don't know what to do."
Xie Laogen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and nodded one after another, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital if he could have the food cooked by Jing Yatou.
After eating, Xie Yuanjiu found a reason to go out and went directly to the playground of the elementary school, and he made an appointment with Sun Zhou to give him the account book today.
I think that Sun Monkey has already come out of the stall at this time.
Far away, I saw a commotion at the school gate, and I saw a fire coming out of the crowd.
