083 Spike shoes
"It doesn't hurt that much, but it doesn't go down either."
When Yang heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not a fairy elixir, how can it be so fast?" β
"Since it doesn't hurt so much, it can be seen that it is still effective." Su Qingluan also nodded, "If Uncle Liang knows, he must be very happy." β
Su Qingluan made some preparations when she went out today.
She found a pair of old shoes that Su Xuanhe had worn out before.
Although this kid is not as tall as Su Qingluan, the shoes on his feet have reached the size suitable for Su Qingluan's feet.
Su Qingluan asked Su Guangfu to take a few copper nails, and the tips were nailed down into the soles. Yang was afraid of the nails, so he added a layer of insoles to Su Qingluan, and also patched up the worn holes in the shoes.
Wearing the newly baked "spiked shoes", Su Qingluan deliberately tried the "foot feel" in the most muddy and slippery part of the yard.
The effect was significant, and while the spikes didn't allow her to avoid getting the upper and hem wet, at least she didn't slip easily.
And because the nails separate the soles from the puddles by a shallow difference in height, it also prevents rainwater from soaking into the shoe from the soles to a certain extent.
Mo said that Yang and Su Guangfu, even the two little guys surrounded Sister A and were eager to try the "nail shoes".
"These shoes don't fit you, and besides, it's a matter of authority, so don't think about it two of you!" Su Qingluan pinched the tips of the noses of the two little guys.
Needless to say, my younger brother's feet are already bigger than the shoes on Su Qingluan's feetβotherwise they won't break the old shoes.
What's more, the shoes "transformed" in this way are very difficult to walk on the ordinary ground, and although they can play a non-slip role on the ice in winter, they will inevitably freeze their feet because they are single shoes.
In short, it is very expensive to renovate shoes, and the scope of use is very limited, if it is not very necessary or have money to spare, the cost performance of this "nail shoe" is not particularly high.
But at the moment, these "spike shoes" are just right for Su Qingluan, who is going to walk a few miles of muddy mountain roads.
Along the way, the spiked shoes on her feet firmly pierced the tip into the mud, and no matter how slippery the ground was, Su Qingluan could walk smoothly to avoid falling into the mud or falling on all fours like others.
However, after avoiding slipping, this shoe is not without problems - because sometimes it is too deep into the mud, it is a little difficult to pull out the foot, so Su Qingluan almost left the shoe in place several times when he pulled out the foot.
I stumbled along the way, but fortunately, I finally arrived at the county seat.
Last night's heavy rain caused the road to be muddy, and the road from Huaxi Village to the county seat is not much better.
The most intuitive evidence is that although the opening drum has been beating for more than half an hour, the town that was once crowded with people is now much more deserted - probably those passers-by or small traders are fighting wits and courage on the road with some puddle of muddy water.
Su Qingluan went to "Langmoxuan" first, and tried his luck to see if Old Man Xu Kekuan was there.
Her luck is good, Old Man Xu obviously came early in the morning today, and when he saw her, he smiled: "Little Lady Su came so early today?" β
Su Qingluan put the food box containing the "Ant Strength Pill" on the table in front of Old Man Xu with both hands: "Isn't this thinking about sending you the 'Qi Pill'?" β
"It's hard for Su Xiaoyou to care so much about my old wood." Xu Kekuan stroked his goatee with a smile, and as he spoke, he glanced at the guy behind the counter who was sorting out the shelves, and the guy nodded, and took a flat box with a narrow palm and a short forearm from the back.
Xu Kekuan handed the box to Su Qingluan and said with a smile: "This is the old man's little heart, Xiaoyou will accept it." β
Su Qingqing hurriedly waved his hand: "Old man, this is unacceptable, I didn't ...... it for thanks."
"I know it, but I'm afraid that this pill will take a lot of thought." Xu Kekuan said meaningfully.
Su Qingluan said half-truthfully: "This thing is very simple, but it's just some ordinary ingredients......
"How can it be 'so easy'?" Xu Kekuan looked at Su Qingluan and took the food box, "Although the old man doesn't know what recipe Su Xiaoyou used, but I can't eat the ingredients like garlic and rice bran that I don't like in a bad old man, and this friendship old man remembers this friendship in my heart." β
Su Qingluan was startled when he heard this, and then asked softly with a little weakness: "...... You got it......"
"Hehehehe......" Xu Kekuan smiled kindly, "There is a familiar Lang Zhong in the family, and he is an old friend of mine." With such a relationship, how can my family let me eat snacks that may be compatible with medicine during my illness? β
So from the very beginning, the "refreshments" that Su Qingluan brought over were "tested ingredients", naturally, what was added to it, even if the old man Xu Kekuan couldn't taste it, but if he really knew how to make the "Ant Strength Pill", he would naturally be able to perceive the special taste of garlic.
Seeing Su Qingluan's expression of "being arrested for doing bad things", Xu Kekuan gently patted her shoulder: "Why does Su Xiaoyou have such an expression?" You are kind, and you have to go to great lengths to let me eat the garlic, and it's too late for me to thank you. β
"But it's something you don't like to eat......"
"But I ate a lot, didn't I?" Xu Kekuan shook his head, "Maybe there are a lot of things I don't like to eat, as long as I don't think they are unpalatable, they may not be so difficult to eat." But how did you come up with the idea of giving me a 'refreshment' with garlic and rice bran? β
Su Qingluan saw that Xu Kekuan didn't mean to blame her, so he gradually relaxed and explained: "I heard you talk about the symptoms of illness before, and when I was chatting with you, I paid attention to your eating habits, and I knew that you had 'beriberi'. β
"Hehehehe...... I didn't expect that my old thing is still very picky, isn't it? β
"Everyone has their own preferences...... Su Qingluan muttered quietly, "But isn't it cost-effective that you can recover from this illness just by correcting your diet and not recurring?" β
Xu Kekuan nodded: "What Su Xiaoyou said is right, I will try not to pick my mouth in the future." β
Su Qingluan nodded: "That's right, so you can enjoy more food!" β
"It's all the credit of Su Xiaoyou, so ......" Xu Kekuan pushed the box in front of Su Qingluan again, "Su Xiaoyou must not shirk this gift - I promise, Xiaoyou will like it." β
As soon as Old Man Xu said this, Su Qingluan became a little curious about the gift, and after repeated refusals, Su Qingluan decided to see what the gift was first.
But at this time, two customers came in the store one after another, and when Old Man Xu saw this, he tapped Su Qingluan's hand that wanted to open the lid of the box with the barrel of a brush: "Don't worry, Xiaoyou, go back and take a look." β
Kindness? Su Qingluan was even more curious: So mysterious?
