The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

"Kill two chickens." Duan Qingqiu suggested, "It's too cold. I can't survive without eating some meat."

There are currently about twenty chickens of various sizes in the chicken coop, most of them are pullets, and some are chicks that have just hatched.

Of course, their father is the proud big rooster.

Xiaoxia was a little reluctant to part with it at first, but when Duan Qingqiu said that chicken feed also cost money, she immediately caught two of them.

Nowadays, we can’t finish the eggs we pick up every day. There is really no need to raise so many eggs.

Two little hens, one for stir-frying and one for stewing.

Duan Qingqiu contributed the last bit of hot pepper, which made the whole room sneeze and salivate.

It's so fragrant, it feels like you can eat a big bowl of rice just with the sauce-colored base.

The fat of the young hen is not as thick as that of the old hen, and the stewed soup is a bit clear, but with a handful of winter bamboo shoots, it also has a sweet and refreshing taste.

I also cooked a stir-fried three shredded vegetables, a braised taro dish, a braised Chinese cabbage dish with mushrooms, and a small dish of pickles.

When A Niu walked in, he happened to see six dishes put on the table.

"Master, can I live behind your house? Anyway, I have to come every day to deliver bamboo tubes, and I can also help you look after your house. I also have the tools at home that you can use as you like..."

Duan Qingqiu felt a little excited when he heard it, but Ah Zhi only said two words that were cold and cold.

"No."

"..."

Adhering to the principle of eating one meal at a time, Aniu became more and more rude. He grabbed the steamed bun and started stuffing vegetables into his mouth.

Azhi frowned, tapped the edge of the bowl with the tip of his chopsticks, and said coldly: "If you make any noise again, we'll go out to eat."

The man immediately closed his mouth, and his eye circles suddenly turned red.

Xiaoxia hesitantly handed over a bowl of soup. The other person took it and drank it down, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still didn't dare to make any sound, chewing in small mouthfuls, sitting there like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law.

The three siblings of the Duan family all expressed surprise.

They just couldn't figure out what Ah Zhi had to be afraid of, and why A Niu, a strong man like him, was always frightened and eaten to death.

This question was quickly forgotten by them.

At the Duan family dinner table, you can't think too much, otherwise when you wake up, the plate may be empty.

After eating, Duan Qingqiu picked up his pen and drew a detailed structural diagram.

"These three parts, called the retort, the cooler and the converging tank, are a split double-layer still..."

"It seems to have been used to make wine in some places." A Zhi suddenly said.

She was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the principle is similar. Since you have seen similar ones, you should understand it better. The difference between them actually lies in the size. I don't need to be big, almost... like this."

He raised his hand and gestured briefly: "Do you have enough materials?"

A Niu said with a smile: "No problem. Master has always asked me to bring some of those stones and logs down from the mountain when I have time. Now I have a small cart, which is very convenient!"

After deciding on the general requirements, the two went to the back room.

Xiaodong originally wanted to go there to help and watch the fun, but Duan Qingqiu suddenly stopped him.

"Five big baskets of camellias need to be peeled off all their petals. We need you even more here, my dear brother."

Xiaodong: "..." Help.

Several people worked until they were blind. The petals were not yet peeled off, but the still was ready.

"So fast?"

Duan Qingqiu complimented casually, but in fact he was no longer surprised in his heart.

A man who can even make a tricycle has a simple set of equipment at his fingertips, right?

Fortunately, the sky started to drizzle at this time, and soon it turned into a downpour.

I'm sure I won't be able to sell the stall tomorrow morning.

Everyone didn't plan to endure it any longer, so they decided to rest first and wake up before fighting again.

Early in the morning, at dawn, four people got up and took a shower.

When the aroma of porridge filled the small courtyard, there was a knock on the door.

A Niu took off his raincoat, rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "Master Wife, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Not yet, you take a break first and wait until you finish breakfast." Duan Qingqiu said puzzledly while cutting the steamed buns, "Why did you go back so late at night last night to squeeze in with Ah Zhi? Isn’t that enough?”

"Uh, it's okay, anyway...it's not far..."

A Niu scratched the back of his head and hesitated.

Did he not want to?

Based on what he had learned about his master during this period, he would definitely be rejected if he spoke, and he might even make the old man angry.

The consequences are simply unimaginable, so it’s better not to mention it.

After a while, Ning Xiaomei also came.

Duan Qingqiu asked Xiaoxia to pack some eggs early in the morning, and first went to the Liang family to say hello, saying that there was a big job at home today, and Xiaomei was invited to help, and the wages would be charged separately.

During this period, the Liang family's income was relatively stable, and their food and clothing had naturally improved a lot. Widow Lu didn't say anything about it, but she was still very satisfied in her heart, and her attitude was no longer so rigid.

Ning Xiaomei took the time to finish all the things she needed to do at home, and then helped the old lady drink medicine and fall asleep again before walking happily over the muddy mountain road.

"Sister Qingqiu, brother Azhi, sister Xiaoxia..."

The girl stood in the yard, slightly embarrassed, calling people one by one. When she caught sight of A Niu, she fluttered her eyelashes and suddenly couldn't speak out.

But the man was waiting there eagerly, looking very expectant.

She pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Brother Aniu, good morning."

"Hey! Morning! Morning!"

Three words, three nods of the head.

Ah Zhi glanced at him, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Duan Qingqiu was happy and said with a smile: "It's not the first time you've come to my house, and it's not the first time you've met these people. Why are you so nervous?"

Ning Xiaomei smiled sheepishly.

Maybe it's because I haven't come here so early before, and every time I come, Xiaoxia is alone. It's natural for two half-year-old girls to be together, so they feel more comfortable.

"Have you had breakfast?" Duan Qingqiu asked while stirring the eggs.

"Eat, have eaten..."

It sounds like a lie.

And with Widow Lu’s stingy attitude, even if she had something to eat, she would probably only get a bowl of thin porridge.

She didn't expose it and said decisively: "Just add more after you've eaten!"

The steamed bun slices were wrapped in egg liquid and dropped into the pot with a sizzling sound.

Turn it over and fry it until both sides are golden brown and fragrant.

"How can steamed buns be eaten like this?" Xiao Xia looked at it dumbfounded.

Although she is not bad in terms of cooking skills, she obviously has more new ideas for eating. In the past, she was obviously a person who was indifferent to all aspects of food and was industrious. How can she have so many tricks now?

To be honest, Xiaoxia didn't find it strange.

But with her brain, other than the four words "work hard to change", she couldn't think of any other reason.

If you can't think of it, just don't think about it. Anyway, she really, really likes this eldest sister now.
