Chapter 28: The First Pot of Gold
Xia Yao's outfit also attracted the attention of many people, but as soon as someone asked, Xia Yao pretended to be sad, which made people have to stop the topic.
The second building was on the left hand side of the gate, Xia Yao struggled to hold these things, and walked up step by step, the hen struggled in the woven bag, making a "clucking" sound.
Xia Yao hurriedly smiled at a few aunts nearby: "This chicken was just caught this morning, I would have slaughtered it first and then brought it if I knew it!" ”
She apologized as she hurried up.
Seeing Xia Yao's big bag and small bag, several aunts' eyes were about to be bloodshot.
Why don't they have such generous relatives?
Don't look at them as city people, but if you really compare them, I'm afraid they are not as good as the country people, all their things are rationed, if they are dual-income workers, but if there is only one worker in the family...... Isn't that life also tight, sometimes you can't even eat well.
Xia Yao struggled to lift things to the third floor, gasping for air.
This body is still too weak, she has to exercise diligently in the future, otherwise what can she do in the future?
According to the residence of Engineer Tang, the Tang family was found.
She knocked on the door.
"Who?"
A tired male voice sounded, and the door was opened, and it was Engineer Tang's sleepy face.
When he saw Xia Yao wrapped tightly, he was stunned for a while, but when he touched this pair of extraordinarily good-looking peach blossom eyes, he recognized the person.
"It's you!"
"Cousin!"
Xia Yao avoided being suspected, and the loud "cousin" suppressed Engineer Tang's words.
"My mother heard that my cousin-in-law was born, so she specially asked me to bring some eggs to make up for my cousin-in-law!" Xia Yao smiled, and the corner of the basket in his hand was revealed.
It was full of eggs, and Engineer Tang's breathing became short, and he quickly pulled Xia Yao into the house, and then closed the door.
"How do you sell it?" Engineer Tang stared at the eggs, his eyes full of heat.
He has been married to his wife for many years, and finally had this daughter, but his wife is an elderly mother, and when she gave birth, she was fundamentally injured and needed to make up for it.
And although he has the title of senior engineer, everything is quantitative, and he can't even buy milk powder for his daughter, and the milk powder he exchanged with Xia Yao last time is only enough for a month.
Xia Yao smiled and didn't answer directly, but raised the woven bag in his left hand, and the chicken inside was still "cackling".
"Twenty eggs in total, an old hen, do you want it?"
"Yes!" Engineer Tang didn't think about it, "How much?" ”
"An egg counts you six cents, a hen is a pound and a piece of six, and this hen weighs five pounds, for the sake of my old customer, I will charge you a total of ten yuan."
Ten bucks? Not expensive at all!
Engineer Tang immediately took out the money, which was very refreshing.
Luo Xuan, who was in the bedroom, heard the movement outside and was a little worried: "Tang Rui, what's wrong?" Who's coming? ”
"Yes......" Tang Rui just wanted to answer, but he saw Xia Yao wink at him, he understood, saw a few figures outside the window, and the words he was about to say were replaced by him, "It's cousin, she came to see you." ”
With that, Tang Rui took Xia Yao into the bedroom.
Luo Xuan is still wondering, Tang Rui is not a local, where did he come from? The next moment the door was opened, and Xia Yao, whose face was full of red sores, appeared in front of her, and she shouted in surprise.
Tang Rui hurriedly walked to her side and explained today's incident in a low voice.
Different from Tang Rui's boldness, Luo Xuan frowned when he heard this, and looked at Tang Rui uneasily: "This is speculation!" If we find out, you and I won't have any good fruit to eat! ”
Tang Rui didn't expect her to react like this, her mouth opened, and she didn't dare to refute, for fear that Luo Xuan would not do a good job and would have to go to the hospital again.
Xia Yao casually moved a chair and sat opposite Luo Xuan.
She took Luo Xuan's wrist familiarly: "I'll have some medical skills, show you?" ”
"What are you doing, you ......"
"You had a lot of bleeding when you gave birth and you're very weak now." Xia Yao said faintly, "Although the medicine you are taking now is cheap, but it has no curative effect, in the final analysis, your body is too weak, and your qi and blood are insufficient, if you want to replenish qi and blood, you either spend a lot of money to buy ginseng for a long year and come back to boil the tonic medicine, or use food to replenish it." ”
On Luo Xuan's face, anger was replaced by surprise.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"You...... What did you say? ”
Xia Yao's words are no different from what the doctors in the hospital said.
A good ginseng costs six or seven hundred, and if you buy one, you will have to empty your family, but she didn't even have the land to buy such expensive ginseng, she has been washing her face with tears since giving birth to a child, and she sees that her body is getting weaker and weaker day by day.
She was almost about to give up, of course she didn't want to watch Tang Rui spend any more money on herself.
"I said, I'll do a little bit of healing." Xia Yao replied calmly, "I can give you a medicinal diet recipe to nourish your body, although the effect is not fast, but as long as you persevere, you can always slowly make up for the lost qi and blood." ”
Luo Xuan looked at Xia Yao in disbelief, although Xia Yao's face was full of red sores, she couldn't see Xia Yao's true appearance clearly, but she could hear that Xia Yao was a very young girl.
What good recipe can such a young person have?
"Didn't the doctor tell you? You can also slowly recuperate your body through food supplements. ”
Luo Xuan was stunned for a moment, as if the doctor had said so.
Tang Rui said excitedly: "The doctor said it!" It's better to eat more meat! ”
But they are not a wealthy family in the city, and they only have two catties of meat tickets every month, where do they get so much meat to eat? The two only thought about buying ginseng, and they had long forgotten about it.
"yes, eat more meat." Xia Yao nodded, "It's best to use beef and mutton, if not, then use this recipe to stew some chicken soup, or tube bone broth, it can also have an effect." ”
"Use your pens." Xia Yao said a word to the couple who were still stunned, bowed his head and wrote down a medicinal recipe.
Tang Rui and Luo Xuan looked at Xia Yao dumbfounded, and before they could speak, Xia Yao had already handed them the recipe.
"It's like a giveaway for you to buy my stuff."
Hearing Xia Yao's words, the two came back to their senses.
Luo Xuan still had suspicion in her eyes, but she was not as vigilant about Xia Yao as before, as for this prescription...... She thought about taking it to the hospital and showing it to the doctor to see if it was good or bad.
The current Xia Yao is a steady stream of eggs for her in the future.
She smiled at Xia Yao: "Thank you......"
"My surname is Qin." Xia Yao's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
"Thank you, Comrade Qin." Luo Xuan was a little embarrassed when he said this, "I just don't know...... Can you bring me some eggs and hens on a regular basis in the future? ”
"Don't worry, we won't treat you badly with money." Luo Xuan hurriedly added, "You know, we have to buy everything in the city, we only have two catties of meat tickets every month, which is not enough at all, our Xiaoxin hasn't drunk a mouthful of milk yet, I was thinking...... If you come into the city later, can you bring us some of your own eggs and hens? ”
Speaking of this, she hurriedly added: "It doesn't matter if it's chicken, any meat can be." ”
"Okay." Xia Yao was very refreshing.
Just when Luo Xuan was secretly happy, Xia Yao reminded her again: "But I'll say the ugly things in front first, this matter has to be kept secret, if someone finds out...... I'm fine, I'm a country boy, and you don't know where I am, but you're different......"
"I know!" Luo Xuan nodded hurriedly, "From now on, you will be Tang Rui's cousin in the countryside!" We are all relatives, relatives come and go to get something, can they still report us? ”
Xia Yao was very satisfied with Luo Xuan's knowledge of current affairs, she nodded: "You are now a leak, I believe the doctor must also prescribe medicine for you, you not only have to take medicine according to the prescription, but also supplement nutrition, I will come to the city again in a week." ”
Luo Xuan kept nodding, Xia Yao's words were not much different from what the doctor said.
Tang Rui had already taken the money at this time, Xia Yao counted it, and found that there were five more yuan.
She raised an eyebrow.
Tang Rui was still guilty of doubting Xia Yao just now, and smiled embarrassedly at this time: "The remaining five yuan will be used as a deposit, and I hope that my cousin will find more hens for us in the countryside." ”
He didn't dare to imagine such a thing as beef and mutton, but if he could eat chicken twice a month......
Xia Yao saw what Tang Rui was thinking at a glance, and she took the money happily: "Don't worry, come over next week, I will bring you meat." ”
Regardless of whether it was chicken or pork, she immediately thought of someone.
Xia Yao lowered the corners of his mouth that kept rising, and beckoned to Tang Rui and Luo Xuan: "There are only a few hens in every household, maybe not often, but other meat...... Is it OK to have a pheasant hare? ”
"Yes, yes!" Tang Rui nodded hurriedly.
Xia Yao held the fifteen yuan in his hand, he was in a very good mood, sorted out the woven bag, and said goodbye to the two.
As expected, as soon as she walked out of the door of the Tang family, she was immediately stopped by the Tang family's neighbors.
"Girl, do you have any eggs at home? Do we want to change too? An eldest sister stopped Xia Yao, her eyes full of longing.
Who wouldn't want to eat meat?
And the live hen, you can tell at a glance that it is a good chicken!
Xia Yao listened to these people's words, her face was full of panic, she covered her face and kept shaking her head: "No! Gone! We don't do these things! Don't ask! ”
After saying that, she hurried out.
Several eldest sisters still followed Xia Yao, and they all asked about it, and Xia Yao hurriedly ran away.
Walking out of the family home, the panic on Xia Yao's face had long since disappeared, she held the fifteen yuan in her hand, and suppressed the excitement in her heart, this money is indeed easy to earn, and she has a lot of potential customers today!
It's just a piece of medicinal food, and it's really good to give it out!
