Chapter 68 Shopkeeper Wang’s visit
Su Xiaoxiao drove the bullock cart towards the town.
When they arrived at Ci'an Hall in the town, Su Xiaoxiao found Mr. Li and told the story exactly.
Mr. Li and Su Xiaoxiao are no longer strangers to each other. Last time, Su Xiaoxiao exterminated their relatives in front of Ci'an Hall and directly rejected the bitter labor brought by Granny Liu and Li Dongmei, saying that Ci'an Hall would not buy it from outsiders in the future. Medicinal materials.
Su Xiaoxiao is not only generous, but also very righteous.
Mr. Li had a good impression of her. He went to see Su Xiaoxiao first and wrote a prescription for Su Xiaoxiao in his busy schedule.
"Just have this recipe, and ask the family to make more crucian carp soup, pig's trotters and soybean soup and pork ribs and lotus root soup for the mother. These will return milk faster."
Su Xiaoxiao wrote it down very seriously. Mr. Li told Su Xiaoxiao that they should follow the recipe written above and not eat cold food.
However, you should not eat too much of these things. They can be warm and tonic. If you eat too much, it will be counterproductive.
After Mr. Li finished explaining, he specifically asked the medicine boy to help Su Xiaoxiao get the medicine, and then he went out to see others.
Su Xiaoxiao now really respects Mr. Li from Ci'an Hall, and her heart is full of gratitude.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the town and bought some pig's trotters, ribs, lotus roots and other things, and brought them to Aunt Wang.
She sent the prescription to Aunt Wang's home. At this time, the newborn baby was still crying in the arms of Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law. The child had never been able to drink milk and was dry and thin.
There was no such thing as milk powder at that time, so Aunt Wang and the others made a little rice cereal for the child to drink, but rice cereal alone could not satisfy the little baby. The whole family was extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Su Xiaoxiao first placed the prescription in front of Aunt Wang and told her that it was for a total of three courses of medicine, as well as those pig trotters and ribs. She also told her how to take the medicine and how to make a tonic soup. Aunt Wang told the story.
Aunt Wang was really moved to tears, "Aunt Wang, don't worry. Listening to your little granddaughter, she will definitely grow up healthy. Just listen to how energetic she is!"
"With your good words, I will grow up well."
This is the first eldest granddaughter of the Wang family. Although she was born prematurely, she seems to be growing well now. With Su Xiaoxiao's help, everything went very smoothly.
"Xiaoxiao, aunt will remember your kindness this time. If you need help with anything in the future, just tell aunt. Even if aunt can't help you, I will ask my nephew to help you."
It turns out that the nephew Aunt Wang mentioned was Li Zheng.
They are relatives. Mrs. Wang has a very high status in the village. Not only has her family lived in this village for many years, but her family is also charitable and does not offend anyone. She is very popular in the village.
This is Aunt Wang's nephew. Aunt Wang is really convinced of Su Xiaoxiao's character this time.
She regards Su Xiaoxiao as her life-saving benefactor and will repay Su Xiaoxiao's life-saving kindness no matter what.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "No need, Aunt Wang, you helped me a lot before, so don't worry about this little thing."
Su Xiaoxiao stayed at Aunt Wang's house for a while, then she went up the mountain to meet Sun and the others.
Sun and the others were very energetic today and had picked baskets of oranges. When Su Xiaoxiao went, everyone had already finished their work and was preparing to go down the mountain and go home. Su Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that they had almost finished picking the fruit forest, so she took Sun and the others to walk deeper into the mountain to see if there were any oranges there.
As a result, there was a large area of fruit trees over there that no one had ever picked, and the trees were already full of oranges.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that the orange trees in this patch of trees were probably quite old, and they were quite tall. If you wanted to pick the fruits on the trees, you had to climb up.
But Saburo thought of a good way to knock the fruits off the tree with a bamboo pole, and then pick them up after they fell to the ground.
However, this method has been tried, and the oranges will fall to the ground and rot. If making jam, Su Xiaoxiao is afraid of affecting the taste of the jam.
Su Xiaoxiao now also strictly controls the quality of jam and does not dare to neglect it at all.
When Wang Er saw it, he said, "I can climb trees. I'll go up and pick them for you."
It turns out that Wang Er can climb trees, climbed to the orange tree and started picking oranges.
Sanlang and Sun used baskets to catch them below, and they quickly finished catching them.
It can be said that everyone had a full harvest on this day. They picked nearly five baskets of oranges. On the way home, Su Xiaoxiao thought that too much time was wasted in this way.
If the jam business continues to be so good in the future and the supply exceeds demand, they will have to waste a lot of time climbing trees to pick fruits.
In fact, picking oranges like this is really tiring. Su Xiaoxiao ran to the town today and went up the mountain again in the afternoon. She felt that her bones were falling apart. It was no exaggeration at all.
After all, she had never done such heavy work. Both Sun and Wang Er had done physical work, but they didn't feel tired at all.
Saburo was in poor health and was still recovering from his injuries. Everyone took good care of him and only asked him to help with tasks such as picking oranges.
He was not asked to do heavy work. On the way back, Sun and Wang Eryi happily sang a few folk songs. The songs rippled back and forth in the valley. Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand the lyrics, she felt that they should be singing something. It's like a love song of love, love, love.
She glanced at Sanlang secretly. At this time, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little blushing. She didn't know why, but she always seemed a little shy.
It was getting dark. Sun and the others delivered the oranges to Su Xiaoxiao's home and then left. When Su Xiaoxiao and Sanlang were preparing to move the oranges home, they suddenly heard the sound of bells ringing outside the door, and there was a group of carriages. Come towards me.
This team of carriages stopped directly in front of Su Xiaoxiao's house. Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and thought to herself, who are they looking for for such a popular team of carriages? Are you here to find me?
After the carriage stopped, the entourage driving the carriage came down first. The curtain of the carriage was lifted up, and a middle-aged man got out of the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and realized that she knew this person. He was the shopkeeper Wang of the Eight Immortals Tower.
Before Su Xiaoxiao could speak, shopkeeper Wang greeted her with a smile, jogged a few steps, came over and said to Su Xiaoxiao very humbly: "Boss Su, you are finally back."
Su Xiaoxiao said to him without being surprised: "Shopkeeper Wang, why are you so free today?"
When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he quickly said: "I came here today specifically for the jam. Madam, you should know."
