Chapter 57 Shy Yunniang
Chen Bing didn't know how to persuade. She also knew that she was not very good at persuading and guiding others. She gave Sun Qiniang a bowl of water and whispered: "Qiniang, you rest here for a few days. I will go to the lake when I have free time."
Let me inquire about it in the mountain village. You can relax and recover from your illness here." After saying that, he quietly left the room.
Chen Bing returned to the courtyard, while the Cowherd was sitting in the courtyard sorting out the medicinal materials. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Bing and said, "Er Niang, you'd better not go to Hushan Village. You are young. If something happens, you won't be able to go to Hushan Village."
alright."
Chen Bing sighed, shook his head and said: "Among the cowherds, you have heard what Sun Qiniang said. Her life is really miserable. Since I told her that I would go to Hushan Village, I will definitely go, no matter how strict she is.
She should know what happened to her family."
The Cowherd said: "I have to go. I'll do this. You don't know how to do martial arts, so you don't have to go. I have promised to do this and I will definitely handle it for Sun Qiniang. Don't worry."
Chen Bing thought for a while and realized that Niu Langzhong was afraid that Yan's family would be violent and hurt others. I don't know martial arts and am young, so naturally I wouldn't be a match for the three of her. If something happened, it would be difficult to escape, so he said gratefully:
"Then the Cowherd will be the winner."
Niu Langzhong waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial matter. By the way, after yesterday's battle, I already know how far your medical skills have reached. Haha, to tell you the truth, you are also an extremely good person.
Smart people are really good at medical skills. For you now, what you lack is just experience. So, just take that Poison Classic back and read it. It will have some influence on your future medical skills.
It's of great benefit." After saying that, he took out the Poison Scripture from his arms and handed it to Chen Bing.
Chen Bing was surprised and happy. What was great was that Niu Langzhong personally admitted that her medical skills had made great progress. What was surprising was that he was actually willing to take the Poison Sutra back to her to read. She happily took the Poison Sutra and couldn't wait to open it.
After a few pages, I suddenly thought that I had forgotten to thank Niu Langzhong, so I hurriedly said a blessing and said: "Thank you very much, Niu Langzhong. I will study this book carefully and never let down Niu Langzhong's expectations."
The Cowherd happily twirled his beard and said, "Don't thank me. I promised you that this Poison Sutra will be given to you when I taught you medical skills. There's just a saying, the saying goes, you can't chew off more than you can chew, and this Poison Sutra can't
You have to study hard to understand everything. If you encounter something you don’t understand, you can ask me quickly. Erniang, you must remember this."
Chen Bing nodded, as if he were caring for a treasure, and carefully put the Poison Sutra into his arms. Niu Langzhong chuckled and said: "Go back quickly, I will take care of everything here. I will take care of Sun Qiniang's daily life, don't worry.
.”
Chen Bing thought that there were still fermented soybeans that had not been processed, so she said goodbye to Cowherd and hurried to the west courtyard. At this time, all she was thinking about was the fermenting soybeans in the fire room.
Chen Bing entered the west courtyard, hurriedly closed the door, and hurried into the fire room. When he was about to pull out a bucket of soybeans on a bamboo stand to look at it, he suddenly thought that he had not washed his hands. If he touched the soybeans directly, he was afraid that his hands would be damaged.
The bacteria contaminate the soybeans. Chen Bing patted his forehead and quickly lit a fire in the stove. He originally wanted to set up a small pot to boil some boiling water, but then he thought that he would need a lot of cold boiling water later, so he simply changed it to a large pot.
The pot came to boil. After the water boiled, Chen Bing scooped some into the wooden basin, let the water cool slightly for a while, and then washed his hands while enduring the pain.
Chen Bing stretched out his hands that had been burned red, grabbed a handful of soybeans in the bucket, squeezed them, and felt that they had become very hard. Then he picked up a few grains and put them to his nose and smelled them. The smell was slightly sour but sweet.
Mixed with a hint of light sauce aroma, Chen Bing's breath spread.
Chen Bing was quite satisfied. He turned over all the soybeans in the three buckets and put them back on the bamboo stand so that the soybeans could "wake up" in the bucket. After doing this, Chen Bing sat on the threshold.
When he wanted to rest for a while, there were two knocks on the door of the courtyard. Chen Bing knew in his heart that it was Li Yunniang coming. When he opened the door, he saw that it was indeed Li Yunniang who knocked on the door. After letting him in, he smiled and joked: "Yunniang
, today is Shangsi Festival, why are you here? Your mother doesn’t talk about you?"
Li Yunniang put the basket she was carrying on the table and said with a smile: "Second mother, please stop teasing me. My mother really didn't let me come out today. She said she would take me to the edge of Taihu Lake to pick food."
some herbs, and bring back some lake water for bathing, and
My mother prepared a new set of clothes for me, so that I can wear them when I go to visit the house to pray for good fortune and ward off evil spirits. I thought about how my mother made the soybeans yesterday and said that today I need to make the food that the old god taught me, so I insisted on asking for it.
I’ll come to the west courtyard to help my second mother with some work first. After I’m done, it won’t be too late for me to go back and live with my mother.”
After Li Yunniang finished speaking, she also washed her hands, took out a plate of prepared white rice cakes from the basket she brought with her, and said, "I guess you are just doing things in the west courtyard. What kind of food do you want to eat? I'm afraid you will be hungry."
Then she brought the white rice cakes I made in Chenshi from home. Erniang came to try my craftsmanship and see if there was any progress?" Li Yunniang has never read a book, so she can't say the idiom about forgetting to eat and sleep.
.
Chen Bing was moved in her heart and picked up a piece of white rice cake. The white rice cake was completely white, dotted with some red candied dates, white with red, very much like the plum blossoms competing among the dancing six plum blossoms in winter.
Chen Bing felt happy in his heart and took a bite. It was soft and sweet, leaving a fragrant fragrance on his lips and teeth. It was very delicious. Chen Bing stretched out his thumb and praised greatly: "Yun Niang's craftsmanship is unparalleled. I think she got the true inheritance from Aunt Qi.
All the food I have made these days is excellent. In my opinion, this white rice cake is more delicious than the glutinous rice pear cake made last time."
After Chen Bing finished speaking and was about to take another piece of white rice cake from the plate, Li Yunniang hurriedly put the plate into the basket and said, "Hey, Er Niang, this remaining white rice cake is not for you. This is
"Here, this is food for brother Tingyao. When you finish your work later, just take it home and give it to him." Li Yunniang's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and her fingers kept wrapping around the side of her sleeve.
, lowered his head, his little face turned even red.
Chen Bing was amused and thought: "Oh, it turns out that Yun Niang didn't come to the West Courtyard to see me today, but the drunkard didn't care about drinking. Hey, this little lady turned out to be in love and wanted to please my brother.
"Hehe, my silly brother is really lucky, so of course I want to be beautiful as an adult." Chen Bing deliberately teased Li Yunniang, then covered his lips and chuckled: "Oh, it turns out it's for my brother, eh,
I'm still hungry and not full, and I don't have the energy to do anything. This white rice cake is glutinous and sweet. I enjoy eating it so much. Yun Niang, just give me what's on this plate, and give it to my brother.
You can make another dish for him after noon."
Madam Li Yun shook her head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "No, no. I soaked the white rice all night before grinding it into a pulp. If I do it at noon, I won't have time to soak it and grind it into a pulp. How can I do it today?"
, Today is the Shangsi Festival, I have to, I have to..." Li Yunniang frowned and lowered her head, as if she was struggling in her heart. Then she raised her head, pouting her little mouth, as if she was aggrieved and a little reluctant, but her eyes were clear,
He didn't hesitate too much, so he said: "Okay, okay, since I'm still hungry, you can eat first, and I'll make it for brother Tingyao later. It's not difficult to make.
Er Niang has to do business in the west courtyard, so she has to eat enough."
Chen Bing knew that today was Shangsi Festival, also known as Daughter's Day, so Chen Bing naturally knew what Yun Niang was thinking. Chen Bing covered his lips with a smile and picked the largest piece of white rice cake from the plate, pretending to be serious.
, said: "Ahem, Yun Niang is still the best to me, okay, then I'm not polite, I will eat this piece of white rice cake."
Li Yunniang nodded heavily, her eyes staring straight at the piece of white rice cake in Chen Bing's hand, her pouted mouth became higher and her brows furrowed even more tightly. Although Chen Bing looked at it, she felt it was funny, but even more
Feeling a little distressed, she put down the white rice cake and said with a smile: "Oh, Yun Niang, look at your pouted mouth, you can even hang an oil bottle on it. You are making it for my brother, how can I really eat it?"
, Don’t worry, I will definitely bring these white rice cakes to my brother to eat, and I will tell him that this is Yun Niang’s gift to you, hehe.”
Li Yunniang put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks. She looked annoyed, but she breathed a sigh of relief and said coquettishly: "You second mother-in-law, you are making fun of me again. I won't make something delicious for you next time."
, you just know how to bully me and make me mad, huh!"
Chen Bing talked nonsense seriously and said: "Yun Niang, I know best what my brother likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat. What if he doesn't like to eat the food you made? So, this
You have to pass my level before you can eat. Only if you can pass it will your brother love to eat."
Li Yunniang asked blankly: "Really?"
Chen Bing stuffed the basket into Li Yunniang's hand and said with a smile: "Yunniang
Today, my brother went to work in the fields. I was supposed to deliver food to him, but now it seems that I don’t need to deliver it. In this case, you will deliver the food. Just deliver the white rice cakes in this basket. I
The water is boiled here, I'll fill a jar for you, and you can take it with you."
Li Yunniang hesitated and said, "That, that's not good. What should I say if someone else sees it? I'm still, I'm just a little lady."
Chen Bing said: "Since you don't want to send it to me and don't force you, when I sent it to you, I told my brother that these foods were all made by Yun Niang for you, but she didn't want to come by herself, so she sent me to send them to you.
Your Yunniang, if my brother is dissatisfied with this white rice cake, there is nothing I can do about it." After Chen Bing finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the basket from Li Yunniang's hand.
Li Yunniang hurriedly said: "I will send it to you, I will send it to you personally."
Chen Bing chuckled and said, "That's right. Here, you take this basket. I'll go see how the boiled water is drying. If it's almost cool, I'll fill it with water."
Li Yunniang said: "Don't bother me anymore, I'll just go fill some well water." After saying that, she picked up the water jug on the table and went to the well in the courtyard...
Chen Bing hurriedly stopped her and said sternly: "No! Mother Yun, the water must be boiled. Never drink the well water directly. From now on, whether it is well water, river water or lake water, even mountain water
Spring water must be boiled before it can be used, remember this!"
Li Yunniang didn't know why, so she asked why it was boiled. Chen Bing couldn't say it was for sterilization, so he made nonsense: "This is what the old god taught me. He is the god in charge of the nearby waters, and he is familiar with the water here."
External evils can cause trouble. If you drink it directly, it is easy for external evils to invade the body, and people will get sick. Therefore, he told me that the water must be boiled before drinking."
Li Yunniang thought that since it was the old god's will, she just had to obey it. After listening to Chen Bing's words, she filled the water jar with the water that Chen Bing had boiled before. She said goodbye to Chen Bing with the basket and hurried out of the yard.
.
Chen Bing felt funny in his heart, but he was also very happy for Li Yunniang. He also hoped that his brother could seize this good opportunity given by God.
