Chapter 41: The Dexterous Woman

After a while, Zhang Fan followed Cuilian through the grove by the stream and along the path to her house. Zhang Fan saw that Cuilian's house had four rooms, although they were all wooden walls and thatched roofs, but there was a huge vegetable garden in front of the four houses, several kinds of home-cooked vegetables were planted in an orderly manner in the vegetable garden, and a large group of hens were pecking around outside the yard, and he couldn't help but think: "Cuilian is really a smart and hardworking woman, not only does she run the family business alone, but also buys so many family properties, which is enough to make most men ashamed." ”

Cuilian took Zhang Fan to the door of her house and went to open the door, but when she opened the door, she didn't see Zhang Fan following, so she looked up and found that Zhang Fan was staring at the vegetable patch in the yard, so she smiled lightly and said, "Brother Fan, you want to eat little cabbage, I'll collect some back to make fried cabbage in a while, I'll let you eat enough, how about it?"

When Zhang Fan heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and then he smiled: "Okay, I've been away from home for many days, and I haven't eaten cabbage for a long time." Cuilian still cares about me. ”

When Cuilian heard this, her pretty face was flushed, and she said angrily: "Brother Mortal, come in." ”

Zhang Fan saw Cuilian showing the appearance of a little daughter, with a narrow smile on her face, and then smiled at the little boy next to him who was sucking her thumb: "Child, let's go, let's go home and boil eggs and eat." ”

When the child heard this, he reluctantly took out his thumb from his small mouth and said innocently: "Uncle, I only ate it this morning, and the egg yolk in the evening has not yet come out." ”

Zhang Fan was amused by the child's expression, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Huang is not down, isn't there still Xiao Bai." Let's go, let's go home. So saying, he took the boy and walked into the house. When Xiao Tong heard Wen Tian's words, he stretched out his hand and counted it, and at the same time said to himself: "Xiao Huang only lays an egg every day, Xiao Bai has one egg in three days, Da Hua never lays eggs, and Da Hei always stays in the nest and doesn't come out."

Zhang Fan was speechless when he heard this, and thought: "This bear child, why does he have such a good memory, he can even calculate clearly when the hen lays eggs." He thought as he walked, and in a few steps came into the house.

Cuilian saw Zhang Fan walk in and smiled at him: "Brother Fan, you sit down for a while, and I will pour you a bowl of cold rice soup." ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sister Cuilian, you just sit and rest for a while and then be busy, anyway, I'm not thirsty." ”

Hearing this, Cuilian said with a somewhat concerned tone: "Brother Fan, you have traveled for a day, and you have helped me paddle all the way, can you not be tired, I will come when I go." That cold rice porridge was just cooked when I left the house, and I was going to come back in the evening to eat it, so you can wait a while. With that, she went to the kitchen.

Zhang Fan looked at Cuilian's plump body, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Cuilian is really a smart and clever woman who can run a family." I can have her, which is a blessing that I Zhang Fan has cultivated all my life. ”

After a while, Cuilian came to the hall with dishes and chopsticks and a little pickles, and then put things on the table, and then came to a small two large and three bowls of rice porridge, and then said: "Childish, Brother Fan, the porridge has been poured, come to the table and drink the porridge." ”

When the boy heard this, he seemed to have become accustomed to it, and without speaking, he came to the table and began to eat. Seeing this, Zhang did not hesitate, and walked to the table and sat down.

The three of them sat at the table and chatted while eating rice porridge, Zhang Fan picked up a piece of watercress with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and felt that the pickled broad beans tasted great, and couldn't help but praise him: "Cuilian, you make this watercress so delicious, it's the first time I've eaten it." ”

Hearing this, Cuilian smiled and said, "Brother Fan, as long as you think it's delicious, the slave family will make it for you every day." Not only can I make pickled broad beans, but also fried crisp beans, braised beans, fried dried noodles, noodles and rice noodles, etc., I will make them for you in the next few days, so that you can see how my cooking skills are?"

When Zhang Fan heard this, he thought: "Rural women are really jack-of-all-trades, and they know a little bit of everything." I remember that my mother's craftsmanship in my previous life was very good, the clothes worn by our brothers were made by her, and the shoes were also made by her from old clothes, and she would make dumplings and dumplings every year during the Chinese New Year.

Cuilian saw that Brother Fan was crying, so she said loudly: "Brother Fan, drink porridge quickly." Why are you crying?"

When Zhang Fan heard this, he realized that he had lost his temper, so he smiled and said: "Sister Cuilian, you are really ingenious, my mother often cooked food for me when I was a child, but unfortunately she is not here." ”

When Cuilian heard this, she hurriedly comforted: "Brother Fan, don't be sad. I'll go back with you to see my mother when I have time, how about it?"

When Zhang Fan heard this, he thought: "I also want to see my mother, but the avenue is mysterious, and I don't know when it will be when I will meet my mother next time." However, he didn't want Cuilian to worry about him, so he said with a smile: "Okay, when I have the opportunity, I will definitely take you to see my mother, I believe she will like you." ”

"Really, Brother Fan?" Cuilian asked, her eyes widened when she heard this, and her pretty face was full of hope, "As long as my mother-in-law doesn't dislike me for being humble and clumsy." When I see her, I will make her a beautiful dress, and I think she will like it. ”

Zhang Fan looked at Cuilian's happy face and said with a smile: "My mother is the most understanding, he will definitely like you when he sees such a virtuous daughter-in-law." ”

When Cuilian heard this, her pretty face flushed, and she didn't speak, obviously a little shy.

Zhang Fan didn't say much when he saw this, so he silently ate rice porridge and pickles.

After the meal, Cuilian stood up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhang Fan also came to the package and took out the medicine box and furnace ding, planning to take advantage of the dawn to refine the marrow cleansing pill and harmonize the qisan.

Cuilian came back from the kitchen and saw that Brother Fan was fiddling with herbs and medicine tripods, so she asked out loud, "Brother Fan, do you want to refine medicine?"

Zhang Fan turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Zhuang and Mu Bai in the village are sick, and I went out this time to find herbs for them." Now I'm going to refine the pill and take it to them tomorrow. ”

When Cuilian heard Zhang Fan's words, she also sighed: "Yes, Mu Bai and Xiaozhuang are also good children in the village, only one year older than the child, but it's a pity that they have a strange disease, you can treat them well, and it will indeed make their two children suffer less." Brother Fan, there is some charcoal in the kitchen, you want to refine medicine, I'll take you there. ”

Zhang Fan replied, "Okay." Then he followed Cuilian to the firewood room where the charcoal was stacked, and when he saw the charcoal like a hill, he couldn't help but sigh: "Cuilian, it's really hard for you to prepare so much charcoal." ”

"Brother Fan, you did misunderstand. I exchanged all this charcoal with the villagers, and I gave them some vegetable seeds and salt, and they gave me a big basket of charcoal. I thought it would be winter in a few months, so I prepared more charcoal, after all, a lot of charcoal is needed in winter. ”

Zhang Fan smiled: "Hehe, Cuilian, I didn't expect you to have the potential of a businessman, and you will definitely be a very rich woman in the future, hehe." ”

Cuilian smiled shyly and said, "Brother Fan, the rich woman is very rich, right? But how can I become a rich woman?"

"Yes, you're going to be the richest businesswoman in the world. Zhang Fan smiled, "At the same time, our children will also be the happiest children in the world." ”

When Cuilian heard this, she was very shy, and said with a red face: "Brother Fan, this is what you said, you can't play tricks." With that, she ran out of the firewood room.

When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled, didn't say anything, and began to make fire and refine medicine.

After a while, Zhang Fan burned the firewood vigorously, and the water in the stove on the flame began to boil. He Shou Wu and other refining of the main medicine and auxiliary medicine of the myelin cleansing pill cut into powder, added to the boiling water, while constantly adjusting the heat while stirring the medicinal juice, as the water vapor evaporated little by little, a light cyan paste appeared in the furnace Ding, Zhang Fan saw that the marrow washing paste had been refined, so he quickly removed the open flame, let the residual temperature of the furnace Ding slowly evaporate the water vapor in the Ding, and at the same time constantly stirred the ointment, after a while, the paste became a pill of uneven size, these light cyan pills are the myelin washing pill. It not only contains rich essence, but also has the effect of washing the marrow, which is the treasure that countless martial artists have been obscurantically sought, and it is of great help to Zhang Fan in the middle stage of refining internal organs.

After Zhang Fan finished refining the Cleansing Pill, he rested for a while, and began to refine the ventilation again. It didn't take long for Zhang Fan to get a small bowl of purple-green medicinal powder, which is ventilation powder, a medicine suitable for internal injuries and external injuries, internal administration can open up the congestion of the body, dredge the meridians, external administration can stop bleeding, prevent traumatic infection, is a good medicine for martial artists to travel at home.

Cuilian originally waited in the firewood room for a while, and when she saw that Brother Fan had finished refining the potion, she said loudly: "Brother Fan, dinner is ready." However, the dried snake meat in your package is made into a dish by me, so it won't make any difference, right?"

Zhang Fan smiled: "Cuilian, how can I blame you, that snake was killed by me yesterday, and it was originally brought back to eat, you cooked it, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame you?"

Cuilian blushed and said, "Then I'll rest assured." That snake meat is the best dish I've ever made, it's so fragrant, come and try it.

"Really?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but move his index finger when he heard that the snake meat was very fragrant, and said loudly, "Let's go, let's go taste it." ”
