Chapter 32 High Fever
Author: cool beauty
After Xiao Fang cleaned herself, she lay on the bed to rest.
Xiao Hong also had to teach her mother how to braise pig head meat, and also braise the pig's guts. She also cooked the dinner dishes, which made her busy all afternoon.
When Zhao Laosi came back from the fields, he was used to gossiping about his parents with Wu Julan: "I have plowed the land next to the bamboo forest so that I can plant some radishes. In a few days, I will be able to harvest the beans. After harvesting the beans, I will plow the ground and spread it."
Just add some fertilizer and plant vegetables."
After saying that, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "It smells particularly delicious today, what good food have you made?"
To be honest, since Xiao Hong came to the house and started a pig-to-water business, their food supply has skyrocketed.
Xiao Hong always said that pigs are cheap and asked to keep some at home to eat every time.
The braised sausage is fragrant and chewy. Just pour the soup on top of the rice and you can eat a big bowl without any other dishes.
In addition, life is much easier now, and he can still get some fish and shrimp for toothpaste from time to time, which is so good that he feels that his waistband has become an inch looser.
Therefore, Zhao Laosi felt that he was like a god these days and would never covet other people's meat.
But today when he smelled the aroma from the cauldron, he realized that he was still greedy.
Smelling the aroma, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and had the desire to take a few bites.
"Don't mention it." Wu Julan sighed: "People saw that our business was good and took away our pig-to-water business, so Xiao Hong had to buy a pig head to marinate."
Zhao Laosi comforted her: "The braised pig head is also very good. It is serious meat after all. With this taste, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it."
"What's the point of having good taste?" She looked around, and while Xiao Hong was away, she looked very sad: "I'm just afraid that if people see her selling pig head meat, they'll come and steal business again?"
"It doesn't matter if the business fails." Zhao Laosi immediately said: "Don't worry, we all have the skills and abilities, and we are not afraid of not being able to support their studies."
Now Xiao Hong is sensible and capable, so Zhao Laosi now has a good impression of her, so he said this.
When Wu Julan heard what he said, she also smiled: "You're right, you can earn as much as you want. Anyway, life is getting better and better."
Xiao Hong, who happened to come down from upstairs, heard what they said, so she was not in a hurry to go down. She took a look at Xiao Fang, who was still sleeping, and went back to her room to read a book.
She originally wanted to say that even if the pig head meat business was taken away, we would still be in the braised chicken and duck business.
Anyway, there are many chickens and ducks in the countryside, and they can make a fortune by purchasing and processing them. This business cannot be taken away even if others want to.
But after what she had experienced in the morning, she felt that she had better take it easy first. She had to know first whether they were motivated by money or if someone was behind the scenes.
She doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't understand.
And if you want to make money, it's best for everyone to live in the town to be safe.
But this requires telling them about the incident that almost happened to their sisters.
However, she thought that her biological mother should be pregnant at this time, so she should take it slow first. It would not be too late to find ways to make money after her pregnancy was stable.
It wasn't until Yanyan ran up and called them to go down for dinner that the two sisters went down together.
"Actually, the pork head tastes better if it is marinated a little and then marinated." Xiao Hong opened the wooden cover and poked the pork head with chopsticks. After making sure that the pork head was almost marinated, she took it out and said, "Let's taste the salt first.
"
Thinking that there would be braised pork ribs in the evening, she just cut some pork head meat: "Let's have a taste and see if there is anything that can be improved."
Zhao Laosi picked up a chopstick and ate it, boasting: "I have never eaten such delicious pork head meat. It's fragrant, so fragrant, and so delicious."
He smiled again: "It's a pity that I'm uneducated and can't say nice things, but it does taste good."
It's only the 1990s now. If you can eat meat every once in a while, it means your family is in good condition.
He now feels that his life is a blessing.
Wu Julan was also pleasantly surprised after eating it: "It's really delicious."
Xiao Fang said it very nicely: "This meat is fragrant, crystal clear in color, crispy and tasty, fat but not greasy. How much is a pound suitable for us to sell it tomorrow?"
Yanyan stuffed the pig head meat in her mouth and said vaguely: "It's delicious. Sister's cooking is so good. I will also learn to cook from her in the future."
After Xiao Hong tasted it herself, she felt a little regretful: "It's a little salty. If I put some bean paste, it would taste better."
She still thought the pork head was a bit greasy, and preferred braised pork ribs and tender stir-fried beans.
But she was relieved. Although the taste of the pork head meat was not very good, people nowadays like to eat fatty meat, so the pig head meat would not worry about the market.
After eating and drinking, everyone took turns to take a bath and then went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Fang was awakened by a nightmare and could not sleep again.
She was lying on the bed, looking at the old mosquito net with the moonlight coming through the window, listening to her sister's small snoring next to her, and the buzzing of mosquitoes outside, and she felt restless.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a water glass falling on the wooden board next door, and thought that Xiao Hong was having the same nightmare as her.
Therefore, she hesitated, quietly got out of bed, and opened the door of the next door: "Sister, aren't you asleep too?"
"I'm cold!" Xiao Hong huddled together and groaned with a headache: "Please find me a thicker quilt."
Xiao Hong also understood that she was sick.
When taking a shower, she was too cool and did not heat the water, so she sneezed.
But she didn't pay attention at the time until she woke up from the cold in her dream and felt uncomfortable all over, and realized that she was probably catching a cold and had a fever.
Xiao Fang has been in poor health since she was a child. When she heard her words, she felt a sudden shock in her heart. She would be afraid of the cold in this weather, which must be abnormal.
She quickly stepped forward and opened the mosquito net, knowing that she was used to putting a flashlight next to her pillow. When she touched the flashlight and turned it on, she saw her huddled together, her face flushed, and her whole body trembling.
"It's so hot. You have a high fever." Xiao Fang touched her forehead and it was frighteningly hot. She didn't dare to delay: "No, you have to go to the hospital quickly."
She went downstairs with a flashlight and patted her parents' door: "Dad, Mom, my sister has a high fever."
Zhao Laosi, who was sleeping soundly, quickly got up and lit the oil lamp: "Get up."
Wu Julan also opened the drawer to look for medicine.
Zhao Laosi got dressed and went to open the door first: "It's okay, your mother is looking for medicine."
"I'm afraid it's useless." Xiao Fang looked worried: "My sister keeps shouting that she is cold, but she is so hot."
She suspected that Xiao Hong was frightened during the day.
Even though she acted very calm at the time, Xiao Fang suspected that she was forcing herself to be calm because she was young.
Zhao Laosi and Wu Julan hurried upstairs and saw Xiao Hong shivering uncontrollably.
"We can't delay." Zhao Laosi was afraid that she would burn into a fool, so he immediately said: "Julan, please help her go downstairs, and I will borrow a bullock cart to take her to the hospital in the town."
Wu Julan was so frightened that she lost her mind and nodded with red eyes: "Okay, let's leave quickly."
