Chapter 33 Life

Author: cool beauty

Even though the moonlight is nice today, Zhao Laosi doesn't dare to ride a bicycle.

If he accidentally falls, he is afraid that something will happen to Xiao Hong.

So in the middle of the night, I knocked on the door and borrowed a bullock cart. Wu Julan also sat behind, holding her daughter in one hand and using a flashlight to light the way.

When they arrived at the hospital in town, they woke up the doctor on duty who was sleeping.

What doctors fear most is emergency room visits in the middle of the night.

Therefore, they understand that if the patient does not have an emergency, he will definitely endure it and come back during the day.

Now I saw that the patient had a high fever. After asking her questions quickly, I did a simple examination, gave her a fever-reducing injection, and added saline water.

Zhao Laosi heard Xiao Hong yelling coldly unconsciously, so he went to the nurse to borrow a quilt, and covered her with the same quilt that Xiao Hong had used when they came.

Wu Julan stared at the bottle without blinking, paying attention to her daughter's condition.

After hanging up the two bottles of water, Wu Julan glanced at her sleeping eldest daughter, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Zhao Laosi: "Go find a place to relax for a while, and then go back when it gets daylight."

The doctor had previously said that Xiao Hong's condition was a bit serious, and that he would have to wait for another day to see how things were going.

Then she must stay and take care of her daughter, so she can only let him go back first.

Thinking about the pork head meat that is not sold at home, it is all money.

She worriedly warned: "If you meet Xiao Fang on the road, tell her to ride slower, but be sure not to fall."

Zhao Laosi responded: "Okay, then I will return the ox cart first, and then ride my bicycle over in the afternoon. Do you have anything to bring?"

Wu Julan touched the money in her pocket and thought for a while: "Just let Yanyan pack some clothes for Xiao Hong."

When Zhao Laosi went back, he thought he would meet his daughter again.

But he didn't see Xiao Fang until he got home.

Yanyan was cooking breakfast at home. When she saw him coming back, she looked anxious: "Dad, you are finally back. The second sister said she was not feeling well. I got her medicine and she is still lying on the bed?"

Zhao Laosi knew that Xiao Fang had been weak since she was a child and would catch a fever or catch a cold accidentally when the seasons changed.

Xiao Fang is also a grown-up girl, and she is not his biological child, so Zhao Laosi rarely goes upstairs in the past few years.

Now he couldn't care about this anymore. He quickly went upstairs and asked with concern through the mosquito net: "Fang, what's wrong with you? How about I take you to the hospital?"

Xiao Fang thought she might have fallen. Now her whole body aches and she has a slight fever. She really feels uncomfortable all over.

When I heard his words, I thought of how she had a severe fever when I came here with my mother. It was snowing at that time and it was difficult for the oxcart to move. It was him who carried her on his back in the cold weather, under the heavy snow.

Walked more than ten miles to the town.

It was also because of this that Xiao Fang happily changed her name to "Dad".

"I'm fine!" Xiao Fang came back to her senses, opened the mosquito net and asked worriedly: "How is my sister?"

She still remembered that Xiao Hong was beaten several times by that man, and she didn't know if there would be any internal injuries or anything.

"Your sister is much better." Zhao Laosi looked at her face and saw that she also had an abnormal blush, so he said with concern: "You don't look too good either. How about I take you to the hospital?"

"Dad, I'm really fine. I'll be fine if I sweat it out later." Xiao Fang is worried about other things: "If I can't get up, the braised pork in the pot won't be sold. How about you, dad?"

Take it to the town and try to sell it? If you can't sell it, take it back and give it to grandma and uncles?"

The children of the poor become parents early.

Besides, Xiao Fang knows that pig heads are more expensive than pig water. Although the weather is a bit cooler in the morning and evening, it is best not to stay overnight for those braised meats.

Anyway, she couldn't bear to throw more than 30 yuan worth of braised food into her own hands.

Zhao Laosi also thought of going with her. After asking the price carefully, he asked Yanyan to pack Xiao Hong's clothes, and he hurried downstairs.

When it rained before, he also accompanied Wu Julan to sell pigs in the town, and he went to help hold the umbrella.

Therefore, we also know the location of their stalls.

As for whether he would be embarrassed to do business, he really wouldn't feel embarrassed.

You know, when he was a bamboo craftsman, he rode his bicycle to various towns and villages to solicit business.

What he is worried about now is that he will be late.

Nowadays, there is no one at the vegetable market in town at nine o'clock.

When he came to the town stall again and parked the car, an old lady complained to him: "Why are you so late today? You said you would come earlier yesterday? It's already past seven o'clock now

, if my old man hadn’t insisted on eating this..."

"I'm sorry," Zhao Laosi apologized with a smile on his face: "My girl is sick, so I'm late today."

He introduced enthusiastically: "Today we not only have braised intestines, braised pig heart and lungs, but also delicious pork head meat and pig trotters. What do you want, aunt?"

He arranged the barrel, then took out the knife, lifted the broken and boneless pig head to the sticky board, and cut a thin piece of meat for the old lady to taste: "Try it, does it taste good?"

Xiao Fang said that the price cannot be cheap, but you can treat someone to eat for a piece or two.

In this day and age, no one would object to meat being unpalatable.

Especially the red, greasy and shiny pork head meat, which makes people greedy just looking at it.

After the old lady finished eating, she felt endless aftertaste. She couldn't help but smacked her mouth. After asking about the price, she had a look of pain on her face: "One dollar and five pounds? It's too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?"

Zhao Laosi will definitely not be cheap, and he will take the opportunity to attract other customers.

The old lady was so cruel that she ordered a pound of pork head meat and a pound of braised sausage.

Who asked the old man at home to treat us today?

Zhao Laosi was lucky today. Although he came a little late, it was sold out in less than an hour.

Even the proprietress of the butcher stall who sold the pig head to them came to buy a pound of pig head meat. After tasting it, she was full of praise: "Your craftsmanship is really good. I didn't expect that pig head meat can be so fragrant."

Although pork head meat has an inelegant name and is troublesome to prepare, it is indeed a good thing.

Whether it's steamed, boiled, braised, or served hot or cold, it's a great dish to go with wine.

Pig snout meat is fat but not greasy, chewy and chewy. It tastes good whether served as a salad or as a cold dish.

There is also pig tongue, the meat is tender and firm, full of toughness, without any fat at all, and you won’t feel greasy no matter how you eat it.

Pig ears have more crispy bones and have a particularly crisp and tender texture. They are definitely a good dish to go with wine.

The remaining pork head meat is fat but lean, fat but not greasy, and it tastes fragrant in the teeth and cheeks.

The only regret is that it is troublesome to make, and it will take at least five or six hours to clean up and marinate.

So much so that no matter how greedy everyone is, they are too lazy to bother with it.

The proprietress of the butcher stall said enthusiastically: "How many pig heads do you want today? I can get them for you from home."

She mistakenly thought that these were Zhao Laosi's craftsmanship, and she felt that she didn't have to worry about the pig's head in the freezer.

Zhao Laosi also smiled: "I will go to the hospital to ask my wife first. If the child is still not well, I will rest for two days."
