Following.

The Xie family got up early, and at the dinner table, several people looked at Xie Hongdou without saying anything, wanting to ask but afraid of putting pressure on her.

Xie Hongdou noticed the strangeness of her mother and grandmother, and she wanted to laugh, but it was hard for them to endure it all the time.

"Grandma, do you know about the medical clinic in our town? How is the eldest lady inside? ”

When Grandma Xie heard her granddaughter's first words, she asked the hospital, thinking that her body was not yet well, and she was a little worried:

"Red Bean, but where is your body uncomfortable, grandma will take you to see the doctor?"

Zhang and Brother Tuan also looked at her with concern on their faces when they heard it.

Hongdou's heart warmed, knowing that everyone had misunderstood, and continued to explain:

"No, grandma, I want to go to the pharmacy to buy some stones, if it is successful, we should be able to make some money while the weather is hot."

"What? Isn't stone elimination a medicine, how can you still make money? ”

Grandma Xie asked with a puzzled expression, and Zhang and Brother Tuan also looked at her with questions on their faces.

"When I went out with my dad earlier, I accidentally saw an old picture book, which said that eliminating stones can make ice, I remember, let's buy it and try it."

Xie Hongdou said in a hesitant voice, afraid that her family would ask about the stuffing, and explained that it was something that her father had seen when he took her out to play a few years ago.

Grandma Xie couldn't help but feel sad when she mentioned her dead son, so she didn't ask more, and Zhang's didn't talk much.

She has only had one daughter with her family for many years, and her father also spoils her very much, and it is common to take her out for a walk.

"Okay, how much do you want to buy with you?"

Xie Hongdou thought about it, the stone and water need to be made in a one-to-one ratio, she is not ready to sell ice directly, the current conditions of the Xie family, Fang Zi can't keep it.

She is ready to sell ice drinks, quench her thirst without dazzling her eyes, and it is convenient to make.

"Grandma, let's buy six catties."

According to the same proportion, in fact, it is not much, for the sake of safety, you can't go to the pharmacy every day to buy the stone.

"Red beans, this is too much, the price is not low."

Grandma Xie is a little distressed about money, two catties of stone can be worth a stone of rice, and the family's money has to be spent tightly.

"Grandma, I also feel sorry for money, but we must think of ways to make money now, and it is the most undesirable to sit and eat empty."

"I chose this mainly because I think it's hot now, how can other ordinary people afford ice? If we make it, we can make a quick buck. ”

Xie Hongdou understood the other party's worries, after all, there was not much money, they had never seen this method, and they had not seen the effect, so it was difficult for them to believe it.

Grandma Xie is a little entangled, her granddaughter is for the good of the family, she knows, and she doesn't want to hold back, but she is an elder and has to be responsible for the family's livelihood.

"Mother-in-law, if you don't listen to the red beans, it's a big deal that I'll help people wash clothes and find work later, and I must not let the family go hungry."

Zhang was on the side to help speak.

Although she doesn't understand the outside world, she knows that ice is a good thing that rich and noble people like in summer.

As long as you can make ice, you can definitely sell it.

"Grandma, I'll help with the work too, I'll eat less in the future." Brother Tuan tugged at Grandma Xie's sleeve and said pleadingly.

"Okay, buy. Why does it seem like I'm a bad guy now, and you're the family. ”

Mrs. Xie pretended to be jealous, which amused the others.

"Thank you, grandma, I will definitely be able to make it, and when I earn money, I will buy new clothes for you and my mother, and send my brother to school, and our family will get better and better."

Xie Hongdou promised Grandma Xie with a smile, and her determined appearance greatly increased Mrs. Xie's confidence.

After the meal, Xie Hongdou instructed Zhang and Brother Tuan to roast the perilla leaves at home and prepare them first, and went out with Mrs. Xie.

This is the first time Xie Hongdou has visited the ancient streets, and I don't know if there is a big gap between the historical information she learned in the book in her previous life.

But no matter what, it didn't stop her from looking at both sides of the street.

It's a hot day, and business in the shop isn't very good, after all, no one likes to sweat and shake outside.

The roadside noodle stalls are even more unfrequented.

In the past, when it was hot, she preferred to eat something appetizing or cool, or she could try her hand at selling cold noodles.

"Red beans, it's hot, it's in front, bear with it."

Grandma Xie saw her granddaughter looking around all the way, thinking that she was hot and didn't want to move.

Xie Hongdou didn't want the old man to worry, so he took two steps faster and didn't fall behind again.

There is an old doctor in the pharmacy, and there is also a medicine boy who is responsible for catching medicine.

Mrs. Xie was not in a hurry to buy anything, but took her granddaughter over to let the doctor check her pulse, she was afraid that her granddaughter would not be well and leave the root of the disease.

After Hongdou came in, he stood beside his grandmother obediently, and did not speak casually, and when he went out, it was naturally the elders who made the decision.

But when I saw that my grandmother came in and let the doctor see her condition, I was very moved, and the Xie family was really good to her.

Now that they are a family, she will try to make their lives better.

"Doctor, do you see my granddaughter well?" Grandma Xie looked at Dr. Sun's expressionless face and couldn't help but speak.

Doctor Sun was not in a hurry, continued to cut the pulse carefully, looked at Hongdou's face, and asked Hongdou if he was unwell, before touching his beard and replying with a smile:

"Don't worry, old man, your granddaughter is already well, and she doesn't need to take any more medicine. Congratulations. ”

Dr. Sun was a little surprised in his heart, when he came to see the doctor, this girl was indeed a dying pulse, but he didn't expect to see him for a few days, and there was such a big change, which was strange.

However, it is naturally a good thing that the patient is getting better, and it is impossible for him to say it.

"That's good, thank you for your trouble. Today, we still want to buy some eliminating stones, and ask the medicine boy brother to help weigh them. ”

Mrs. Xie is completely relieved now, and she is not distressed that she even wants to buy a lot of stones.

Although Dr. Sun was a little curious about what they wanted so many stones for, it was inconvenient to ask more.

I only told Xie Pozi and red beans again and again that they are poisonous and should not be used at will.

After taking the things, Hongdou asked about the collection of medicinal materials by the way:

"Grandpa Sun, if we collect medicinal herbs, will you collect them?"

"Collected. But if you don't know how to concoct the ingredients, I'll only accept fresh-picked ones of the day, and the price is not as high as the concocted ones. ”

Dr. Sun thought that they were having a hard time and wanted to go into the mountains to collect medicine, and he heard Hongdou call him grandpa, so he casually agreed.

Anyway, they have to go into the mountains from time to time to find some herbs that are in short supply.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sun." After the two of them bought the things, they went straight home and prepared to make a batch first to see the effect.

。。。。。。

In the kitchen of the Xie family, Zhang took his son to roast perilla leaves, and when the portion was almost ready, he saw Xie Hongdou and Xie Pozi open the door and come in.

"Sister, have you bought anything?"

Brother Tuan was very curious about what his sister said about making ice, and when he saw them coming back, he ran out of the kitchen excitedly to greet them.

"I've bought it, let's start doing it now, can you help my sister get two basins, one big and one small?"

Hongdou also wanted to see the effect quickly, and as soon as he came in, he instructed his younger brother to help with the work.

The family was a little excited at the moment, and Mrs. Xie followed her grandson in, and by the way, she took a bucket of water and came out, ready to act under the eaves, bright.

Xie Hongdou divided a small part of the stone and prepared to experiment with the effect first.

She first put the smaller basin in the larger basin, poured water into the two basins, and then put the stone in the water of the large basin, covered the lid, and waited quietly.

"Let's wait for half an hour and see, if it happens, then we can do this business."

Xie Hongdou also looked forward to the basin in front of him, hoping that it would not overturn.
