Chapter 161 160. Ginseng Water
Huaiyu spent the whole night risking and fighting in the fantasy forest, struggling in pain, and did not sleep well at all. When I woke up in the morning, my head was groggy, and I couldn't even say hello to Kataro.
Fortunately, Ketaro was considerate and turned around to take out a ball from the big storage box in the nest. It was green. When Huaiyu took it, he could smell the strong smell of mint.
I guess I found wild mint somewhere.
But her mental quality is not good, she can take it, but she can't drink it.
So I had to say thank you, then sort the new meatballs in Ketaro's basin by color, and then stuff them back into the sealed jar.
He is really the chosen laborer. The big white porcelain bowl before could not hold the fruits of a day's work. Huaiyu found a storage box with a missing lid when he was rummaging through the rags. After washing it and drying it, Just completely replace the bowl.
Kataro likes this very much, because this storage box has a capacity of 40 liters, which is more than 10 times that of the bowl.
It has become more energetic for this reason, and now it doesn’t even leave home until dark.
Huaiyu also found seven storage boxes of the same style. They were piled in a mess. They also contained some medicines and household appliances and other instructions, tattered fresh-keeping bags, label paper and other messy things. It is seriously doubtful. It was used to store sundries in the past.
One of them has a gap and can only be used as a sundry basket.
There is also a deep crack. It is no problem to carry things in daily life, but it cannot contain liquids.
There are five remaining ones with different specifications. The smallest one is only as big as a palm. Huaiyu Meizizi decided to use it to put her rubber band hair tie.
The largest one was like a large storage box for storing luggage, with a capacity of 80 liters, and she used it as a water tank without hesitation.
One bottle of water can be used for several days, so you no longer have to run back and forth to fetch water every day.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the barnyard tree by the pond from a distance, and then thought of Zhou Qian's well, and her heart was filled with envy.
Thinking of this, she put the two large pots of ginseng tea she brewed yesterday into her backpack - although she drank a large bowl and saw no effect, she was dreaming at night!
Could it be that the strong tonic properties of the medicine made her nervous at night?
Don’t waste it, good things should be reserved for the sick.
Then there are those peaches that are about to lose their wrinkled skin. There is a big basket when they are delivered. Every time she visits Zhou Qian, she will take two with her, bring the peach stones back, and plant them on the edge of the pond one by one.
But it hadn't been a few days, so today she looked at how much was left, gritted her teeth and simply poured it all into the basket.
After all this fussing and the basket on his back was so heavy, Huaiyu was really afraid that he would be weighed down so much that he would not be able to grow taller.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself again, so before leaving, she opened the sugar jar and pinched out a rock candy.
The sweet taste instantly awakened her spirit, and also awakened her worries about Zhou Qian.
……
In the hospital, although Zhou Qian looked haggard, he seemed to be in good spirits. When Huaiyu pushed open the door to the ward, he was holding on to the railing on the wall and walking slowly. Except for his slower movements, he couldn't tell that he had a prosthetic leg.
She was stunned.
Then they cheered: "Can you leave so soon?"
"Yes." There was also happiness hidden in Zhou Qian's eyebrows: "It integrates well with the new materials and adapts well. It's so strong, it's like it's really my own leg. If everything goes well, I will be discharged from the hospital in three to five days."
He looked at Huai Yu and slowly walked to the hospital bed and opened the drawer. , there is a trading bracelet inside:
"Have you gone to see the new house? I'm missing something, please help me purchase it."
He motioned to Huaiyu to hand over the bracelet, but Huaiyu said awkwardly: "I forgot to look at the house when I went back last night. ...In the morning...I forgot in the morning..."
Building a house nowadays is really efficient.
When she went back yesterday afternoon, the surrounding area was already quiet. Zhou Qian's new house even fits the roof perfectly. There was no movement this morning, so I guess everything is sorted out already.
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Qian insisted: "Take it, it's not easy for you to save a round amount. This time I made meritorious service plus disability allowance and some other income, and now my savings are comparable to yours A lot." Huaiyu thought for a while and shook his head, full of ambition: "I'm going to sell peaches today, which is another income!"
“Wait until I go back tonight and take a look, and I’ll tell you what’s missing tomorrow.”
Zhou Qian’s eyebrows skipped a beat.
He eats two peaches a day, so how can he not know the quality of the peaches? But Huaiyu said it so naturally, I'm afraid he didn't even find reliable channels.
After pondering for a moment, he also put away the bracelet: "Okay, then you should be more careful."
Huaiyu nodded happily, then put down his backpack, took out 8 large red peaches in one breath, and stuffed them into the drawer one by one:
"I'll leave this for you to eat."
Then——
“Look!”
Huaiyu proudly took out two large kettles from his backpack
One is an electric kettle commonly used in every household before the disaster, and the other is an ordinary stainless steel thermos kettle - of course, there is no difference between them now, they can only be used as kettles.
Even the base of the electric kettle has been missing. Huaiyu dug it out of the junk pile.
She said secretly: "I got some ginseng to make tea for you to replenish it. Drink more!"
Ginseng? !
Even though Zhou Qian was mentally prepared for Huaiyu’s various secrets, he was still shocked at this moment——
"Is this ginseng the dried ginseng before the disaster, or is there another direction of mutation?"
Huaiyu responded with a blank and clear look, only knowing that it was fresh.
Zhou Qian: ...
Forget it, just pretend he didn’t ask.
As he spoke, Huaiyu had already filled his water glass.
After soaking overnight, the water in the pot took on a slight yellow color. The color was darker than when he drank it yesterday, and even the medicinal smell was more obvious.
Zhou Qian originally wanted to say that he was not thirsty yet, but Huaiyu had already carried the basket happily: "Hurry up and drink. I only have these two kettles at home now. I will come to take them back later." ."
Zhou Qian: "..."
He looked at the two kettles silently. The steel seal on the stainless steel kettle was marked 2.8L, and the capacity of the boiling kettle was 1.8L.
During this period in the hospital, he had to continue infusion every day, 5 to 8 bags of medicine a day, and various oral medicines. In fact, the demand for drinking water was very small.
You may not be able to drink a sip from a glass of water throughout the day.
But, that is ginseng tea!
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but took the cup and drank it in big gulps.
Thank God, my physique has been strengthened after the disaster. At least I should be less likely to suffer from water poisoning now...
Huaiyu frowned and said, "Then you can continue to exercise. I have to go to the trading market quickly while there are few people in the morning."
It also saves you from squeezing around on the bus, which would be another hassle if the peach is exposed.
Update one. It’s been a long time since I took a complete vacation. After I get the 30-day continuous badge in a few days, I’m going to take a day off, both books!
