No Worries about Food and Medicine

The following day, Cao Nuo woke up confusedly, only feeling his hands and feet were numb, and deliberately wanted to stretch. As a result, he only listened to the sound of “Dong”. He sat empty, and even turned to the ground with a stool It was so painful that he opened his eyes and found out that he fell asleep on the table and was covered with a blanket.

He has been depressed for a few days, and he is often drunk. When he wakes up, he does n’t know where he is. It ’s a common thing. He rubbed his head with a hangover and only remembered that he had entered the noodle shop and had eaten something. It was broken directly.

I didn’t expect to meet a good person, and didn’t throw him out to sleep on the street.

Cao Nuo got up from the ground, folded the blankets between his elbows, and saw that there was no one in the hall. He was about to take out some silver to talk about the graciousness of his stay. He heard some laughter in the backyard. Men and women, as well as the movement of the stone pestle, there is a thick smell of rice in the air. He drank a stomachy drink last night, and he immediately felt hungry when he smelled this smell Lift the curtain and walk back to find out.

I saw that the kitchen was very lively. Qinghuan was holding a small stone mortar and grated peanuts. He also hummed a melodious song in his throat, and a pot of rice porridge with white flowers was cooked on the stove. Xu was boiled. In the morning, the japonica rice had already blossomed, exuding fresh rice fragrance.

There were several layers of steaming drawers stacked on the other stove mouth, and I did n’t know what was steaming inside. Cao Nuo sniffed carefully, but actually smelled a sesame aroma. He naturally thought what sesame snacks were in that drawer, he could n’t help but caress his empty Stomach bag.

Yu Jinnian added a handful of firewood to the bore and got up to open a layer of steamer to check. Cao Nuo looked from afar, and saw that the drawer was still covered with a thin white cloth, and the cloth was covered with a layer of black stuff. The teenager stretched out his hand without fear of being hot, wiped a finger on the black stuff, and hurriedly Shrink out.

A Tsing Yi son next to him said something unpleasant, seemingly to blame, but the young man made his left ear in and his right ear out, and he responded a few times. Cao Nuo was about to go forward, and saw the young man put his finger into the young man’s mouth. The young man was smiling with a smile on his face, and he was not annoyed. After tasting the dark, he nodded and approached the young man. words.

Cao Nuo was surprised for a while, and was shocked by their intimacy, but fortunately, he traveled south and north for years, and he was well-informed. After being surprised, he quickly accepted it. After all, it was a matter of two brothers. He hit it, but it was his uninvited fault.

When he entered the store yesterday, he was so drunk, he was indistinguishable from being a ghost in front of him, and now he is awake to look at it again. This little shopkeeper looks like a craftsman eating at a stove. He looks young, smart and clever. White and thin, his eyes curved like a crescent moon when he smiled, and he said that he believed any petted young man.

Yu Jinnian secretly wiped Ji Damei ’s oil, and turned to continue to work. He tilted his foot to reach a sealed porcelain jar on the top of the cabinet. Ji Hong saw it, and raised his hand gently from behind him, then took the jar After taking it off, Yu Jinnian swelled his cheeks like a frog and stood on tiptoe with Ji Hongbi.

The jar was made of ghee bought before and after the Mid-Yuan Festival. It was made by authentic Tibetans. This folk opened a cheese shop in the south of the city. The dairy products made were very different from the Central Plains. Some people were not used to it. Yu Jinnian liked it Very well. However, after the ghee was bought, Yu Jinnian got busy, and he forgot about it. After thinking of it suddenly, he planned to use it to cook a porridge.

After the seal was opened, it was filled with a can of milky white. According to the folks who opened the store, it was made from goat milk. Although the taste is not as good as the ghee made from the mountain yak, it can also benefit the internal organs and eliminate wind and cold. For things, the Central Plains people also make ghee, but Yu Jinnian always feels that no one has the authentic taste.

Holding this jar of “authentic” ghee, he turned around and saw Cao Nuo wandering in the yard and greeted him.

Cao Nuo walked over and embarrassedly said: “Last night, I didn’t do anything … The untimely thing came?”

He saw a strange expression on the face of the people in front of him. He thought that this must have been done, and quickly apologized without thinking about it: “I’m so sorry! This person breaks the film as soon as he has eaten too much. What did he do? I do n’t remember, if there is any loss in the shop, all I have to say is, I will pay it all! ”

“There is no loss …” Yu Jinnian said to have a look with Qing Huan, but we just spiced our eyes and watched the drama of masochism.

Cao Nuohan said: “This is good, this is good … Then, that Cao Mou first quit …” He said that he didn’t seem to want to leave immediately, his feet stopped for the next three times, and his eyes secretly glanced at the pot At first glance, the hot porridge was obviously hungry.

Yu Jinnian didn’t understand his thoughts, so he smiled and kept him: “After eating porridge, let’s go, fragrant sweet porridge, nourishing the stomach and filling it.”

The store gave the steps, Cao Nuo quickly drove down, nodded haha ​​and said: “That’s hard work.”

Over there, Cao Nuo returned to the front hall to wait patiently for porridge. Yu Jinnian opened the wooden lid of the pot, plucked two spoons of ghee from the pot, and added two honeys, stirring them and cooking them together. When it was empty, he kneads the remaining dough from yesterday’s noodles with raw flour, cuts it into large ingredients, rolls it into thin sheets, eats steamed pancakes, and also adjusts the dish of hot and sour radish strips. Side dishes.

Cao Nuo’s mouth was added today. Needless to say, pickled cucumber and ginger, prawn paste was also taken out to eat pancakes.

When Ji Hong saw Yu Jinnian went to check the sesame on the drawer again, he asked curiously, “Why is this sesame steamed?”

“It’s useful!” Yu Jinnian took a few drawers of sesame seeds and put them aside, and told Qing Huan to take them out after a while when the sun was high. This sesame has a slightly bitter taste when it comes to life, even if it is fried, it will inevitably bring a bit of astringency, even if it is usually served with side dishes. Easy to dissolve. ”

He said that he didn’t understand, and he simply gave up the explanation and said: “In short, it is longevity and longevity. Strengthening Wufa, and the benefits, you will know when you have done it!”

Ji Hong no longer asked, in short, he could not suffer a loss here as a teenager.

After Qing Huan grinded the ground peanuts, he filled a bowl of crispy honey porridge and carefully fed it to Er Niang. He went to the room and asked Sui Sui to come out for breakfast. face. After all, he is a businessman who eats people from all directions. He is not uncomfortable, but he doesn’t talk much.

Liquor is a mad drug, but it ’s true and false. Looking at Cao Nuo now, how can you think of him insulting the saints on the stool yesterday?

Yu Jinnian could n’t help but look at Ji Hong on the other side, and he was right in his heart, but he was n’t quite right. Ji Hong was different from others when he drank, and the people who were quiet were suddenly mad, but instead The deep and unpredictable move towards childish obedience is indeed a wonder.

If you are free, you must feed him to drink and play again.

Ji Hong didn’t know that he had become a “plaything” that Yu Jinnian wanted to get. He also kindly sandwiched a steamed cake and knew that he liked shrimp paste. He applied a thin layer of shrimp paste on the steamed cake and handed it to him. he.

I ate a meal with satisfaction, that is, I started business as usual, because the winter solstice is approaching, this year is not too much. Yu Jinnian made a lot of money this year, I thought I should make some gadgets for Er Niang. Happily overwintering the Chinese New Year, so thinking of the box of pearls that the Yang family sent before, he pulled Ji Hong to the jewelry shop.

It’s just that he, a poor old man, doesn’t talk about making jewelry. Even if he is good, he is all confused. Cao Nuo listened and volunteered to lead them, saying that knowing a friend is making jewelry. The craftsman, the craftsmanship has nothing to say, the wages are still cheap.

Yu Jinnian returned to the house and took two small pieces of silver, wrapped a handkerchief with a handful of pearls, and followed Cao Nuo.

Cao Nuo deserved to have fumbled in the business field. The shops he introduced were really good. The shopkeepers were sincere. How much silver was used for jewellery, what kind of flowers were carved, and how much money was paid. Yu Jinnian said Be clear. Yu Jinnian discussed with Ji Hong, and finally decided to make a pair of pearl and silver earrings for Qinghuan, a pair of pearl hands Chuan to Er Niang, even the ears did not fall, made a small ginkgo leaf-shaped pendant, embedded with pearls , Directly wear a red string.

It’s a good use.

Now Yu Jinnian is rich in private warehousing, and the money to make these small silver ornaments is no longer a problem. Nowadays, women ’s necklaces are mostly made of big beads, agate, glaze, and emerald, and then a huge pendant is dropped below. The young ladies are also wearing collars. As for Yu Jinnian ’s single-use red string The small pendant that is big in bean size … except for the long life lock of the child, no one has worn it like this.

However, young people often have strange and strange ideas. Unlike ordinary people, Ji Hong has become accustomed to it, and the shopkeeper is doing things with money. There is no objection. Only Cao Nuo said: “There is something strange, I will take one.”

A red rope was pulled from the collar, and the end of the rope was tied with a fang of an unknown wolf that was a dog. The two ends were covered with gold and silver with a pointed hood, embedded with small red and green agate. With such a terrible appearance, it looks so beautiful, but it looks like a handsome man like Cao Nuo would buy it, but it seems that someone gave it to him.

The three paid the money and walked out of the silversmith’s shop. It was noon. The inn where Cao Nuo was staying was nearby. Although he and Yu Jinnian spent only one night together, they felt very friendly and comfortable. Having regarded their brothers as friends, they proposed Go to the restaurant next door for some snacks before breaking up.

When the sentiment was difficult, Yu Jinnian and Ji Hong had to follow in. They sat down at the window and casually ordered the plate of purple jade grass cake with a pot of chrysanthemum soup.

Ziyucao cake is refreshing when it sounds. It is actually a glutinous rice cake made of purple sweet potato. It is mixed with glutinous rice flour and corn flour to make a white slurry, steamed and allowed to cool, then the purple potato paste filling is squeezed by hand, in addition to red and green bean paste, fruity flavor, tea flavor, etc. Serve well in the well and eat immediately.

Because the glutinous rice skin is crystal-clear and transparent, it reflects the color of the purple filling inside. At first glance, it is really warm and transparent like jade, so it is called purple jade cake.

When eating tea, Cao Nuo was touched again and pinched a group of purple jade grass cakes: “Thinking that I was in Xingyi, I was caught in the wind at night, who wouldn’t be able to afford a disease, and I didn’t know how to eat , I just feel that the limit is approaching. Yuyao came to see me with a box of grass cakes, and gave me the bone teeth of the demon protection body, which is also strange. Since I had this bone teeth, I This body is really stronger day by day, and even luck is very different from before. ”

He was sad for a while: “If I can get rich again, I am just a last-rate merchant. How can I be worthy of Master Shilang’s daughter. She is now an official daughter, maybe the official wife is just a householder … Alas, medicine Ah! I wonder if he treats you well! ”

Yu Jinnian took advantage of drunkenness and set Cao Nuo a lot of things out yesterday, but most of them are sweet and sour. I ate a whole ton of dog food. About Yan Yuyao’s condition, I only knew one or two of them– But there is one thing that is known. Yan Yuyao used to have a healthy body without any hidden diseases. Her eye disease was really no sign.

It’s just that Cao Nuo said that he and Yan Yuyao are a pair of unconventional and unconventional couples. On that day, Yan Yuyao and Yan Rong quarreled, and also saw that she was a little dissatisfied with this family matter. Moreover, Yu Jinnian feared that Cao Nuo would be chaotic, and did not inform him that Yan Yuyao was sick.

A pair of mandarin ducks, seeing that they are about to disperse, Yu Jinnian couldn’t help but sigh with a frown.

Ji Hong seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, so he raised his hand and touched his back to comfort him.

The three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and a thin girl in a pink skirt came in from the hall. The eyes were black, and listless, carrying the little food box in his hand, and talked weakly with the shopkeeper: ” If you are bothered by the shopkeeper, give two plates of purple jade grass cakes. My girl is very sick and has a bad appetite. Only your grass cakes can be imported. ”

Cao Nuo listened to this sound familiarly, and then looked back to see what the little girl looked like. Huo Ran stood up and turned over the stool at his feet: “–Pink Cuckoo!”

Pink Cuckoo heard this and was surprised, “Aunt …”

She almost shouted and became an aunt. After all, the doll and the two parents were very satisfied. Although the girl did not say anything on the mouth, she answered in the face of shame. She and the girl grew up together since they were young. Knowing the thoughts of the young lady, she joked Cao Nuo from time to time. Fanjuan recovered, and quickly changed his mouth: “Cao Gongzi!”

“How did you come back? When did you come back?” Fan Juan saw Cao Nuo, as if she had seen a fellow fellow who hadn’t seen for many years, and she shed tears when she said, “You came back only in sorrow. What kind of day she is, she is sick! ”

Cao Nuo was terrified: “What, Yao’er is sick! How can he be sick?”

Fanjuan wiped his tears with a whisper, whispering, “I don’t know, now my eyes are blind, and the doctor has no medicine to cure, and I don’t know if I can live for a few days. Yesterday, I didn’t know what I said to the lady outside the door. When the lady came back, she washed her face with tears and couldn’t eat any food … “She snorted twice and fell to Cao Nuo on her knees, crying:” Grandpa, the pink cuckoo only I recognize you as an aunt. You are good to the young lady, Fanjuan knows, please think about it and rescue my young lady. She is sick now, and she can’t eat or drink for a few days! ”

Yu Jinnian was also surprised when she heard it. Why was Yan Yuyao so hard-tempered, she was already thin like a rod, and she ate for two more days, before waiting for the strange disease to kill her, she first became angry. Extinct.

Cao Nuo was also in a hurry, but he couldn’t go into the house to visit Yan Yuyao. He thumped his chest for a while, and suddenly thought of a plan. He couldn’t get rid of the bones and teeth on his neck, and stuffed it into the pink cuckoo. : “Take this to Yao Er, and she will know when she sees it. Let her eat well and treat the disease, in any case, it should be good …”

Can’t talk anymore, Cao Nuo also condensed water mist in his orbit, only holding the pink cuckoo’s hand to repeat “good”.

Fanjuan ran back to Yanfu with his bones and teeth, Cao Nuo also got nervous, and Yu Jinnian saw that he didn’t want to appreciate tea anymore, so he dragged his son Ji Ji to leave first, and walked to the road, Ji Hong saw the roadside Lang , Said: “Buy some fruit and go home.”

“Well, you look at buying.” Yu Jinnian responded casually, but still thinking about Yan Yuyao’s illness.

Ji Hong temporarily let go of his hand and went to the load to pick and buy them. They were all fresh and fresh apples and oranges, as well as the avocado from the south. He looked good, but he didn’t know how to pick it. He struggled for a while. , Let Dan Lang give him half a catty.

Yu Jinnian was still meditating on the spot, as if he had caught something, but he did n’t seem to have grasped. He was scratching his ears and scratching his head. Suddenly, the door of a family was kicked from the inside, and a man crawled out of it. Pulling the trousers with both hands, followed by a woman with a big waist and a round bucket, shouting with a bucket of swill: “Don’t think that changing clothes is a noble person. I don’t care if I am a dog-like person outside, but I have to talk to the old lady. I’m a prestige? —You’re a fart! Get out! ”

——Wow!

The man hid fast, and there was no figure when he slipped away, but Yu Jinnian stood there stunned, and was stunned. Over there, Ji Hong paid the fruit money. When he looked back, he saw the boy standing blankly in the dirt, and he was shocked, and he could n’t buy the good fruit. He quickly rushed over to protect the person, eyes The sudden chill: “What happened?”

“Oh, oops, this is a misunderstanding!” The sloppy woman was scared and apologized repeatedly, “I’m teaching my man, whoever wants this little boy to pestle here, do not hide … ”

Ji Hong didn’t dislike him. He raised his hands and took off the two vegetable leaves hanging on Yu Jinnian’s head. Then he looked down at the young man in his arms. He looked silly and looked straight at him. Forward.

“Jinnian,” he called, “Jinnian?”

“…” Yu Jinnian shouted twice in his throat, as if to say something, but for a moment, he suddenly shouted happily, “Oh, that’s what it is!”

The woman retreated in shock, Ji Hong also stunned, and the two stared at the teenager in unison.

After a long while, Yu Jinnian didn’t wake up, he finally returned to normal, and covered his nose and yelled, “My God, what’s the smell, it’s stinking! A Hong, did you lead me to the swill pool?” ”

Ji Hong paused, crying and laughing for a moment: “You’re so kind to say.”
