After saying that, he turned sideways, revealing a tree stump behind him that was almost as tall as Ni'er.

"Thank you, Master Li~" Ni'er thanked him belatedly.

With such a poisonous tongue, being his student is really unfortunate. He actually said that he was a headless fly. However, the description is quite accurate. If Niu Li were to suffer such torture every day, his ability to withstand it would definitely be very strong.

"You're welcome. I ate a snack in town that I had never seen before, called tofu pudding. The owner of the restaurant said it was made by your family. Is that true?"

Master Li asked with great interest, not caring whether it delayed the other party's business or not.

“Yes, that’s what I came up with.”

Nier didn't quite understand why the other party asked such a question.

Master Li tapped his temple with his right index finger. "I thought it was you who came up with this idea. I'll verify it."

Nier felt that she was going to be late, "Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Looking at Ni'er's running back, Master Li's eyes revealed a look of pity, "Why aren't you my student?"

Ni'er finally arrived at Doctor Zhao's house. Fortunately, she was not late. As soon as she entered the door, a silver needle flew in the air, rubbed her scalp and was directly inserted into the Danzhong acupoint on the wooden man behind her.

"Master, you will kill people if you do this."

Zhao Jincheng picked up another needle, and Ni'er dodged as quickly as possible.

"Your master is so accurate, how could anyone die?"

Nier picked up a glass of water and placed it next to her master. "She was scared to death."

"The patient suddenly became stiff, foamed at the mouth, and shook constantly. How should we treat him?" Zhao Jincheng put away the silver needle. He was a little thirsty, so he picked up the cup, blew away the foam on the tea leaves, and took a sip.

"Dazhui and Shuigou acupoints can quickly relieve symptoms. You can then apply moxibustion to Baihui, Jiuwei, Neiguan and Taichong to reduce the frequency of the disease."

Ni'er answered word for word, and Zhao Jincheng was very satisfied.

"That's right, put away the herbs on the table first."

Nier walked to the table and saw the golden osmanthus that she had only seen in books before. She picked it up and examined it carefully, her eyes sparkling with stars. "Master, where did you get it from?"

"It was given to me by a former friend. Why do you like it?"

Zhao Jincheng knew this little disciple quite well, and it was obvious from the look on her face that she was attracted to him.

"Yes, Master, can you give me some?"

Without asking her what she wanted it for, he just nodded.

Nier immediately picked up a few pills. This herb could delay spoilage, so she took it home and put it in soy milk to try it tonight.

If it works, soy milk will be saved.

After breakfast, Niu Jinshui slept until noon. He felt a little better, but not fully recovered. The marks from the beating were still painful. In the morning, he asked his sister to go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and it was time for her to come back.

Niu Xiuli came into the house with wild vegetables on her back, looking excited. Seeing that they were the only two in the house, she felt relieved and whispered, "Sister, that thing is really useful. I have put the wild vegetables in the designated place as you said."

"Don't go in the afternoon. Have a good rest. I'll take your place."

Niu Jinshui nodded. According to his current physical condition, he really had no strength. If he was blown by the wind again, his condition would worsen and even a great god wouldn't be able to save him.

After lunch, the third brother was washing dishes in the kitchen, wondering if he would see Widow Li again in a while. It was not easy for her to raise a child alone, so he wondered if she could help out a little.

As the old saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty. Besides, she had made a new set of clothes, so she should not be considered poor. Only a few people in the village could afford new clothes. She smiled and thought, why should she worry about it? The important thing is to take care of her own little piece of land.

In the afternoon, Ni'er arrived at the agreed place and already had a basket of wild vegetables. She was thinking whether to sell them now or later, when she caught a glimpse of Niu Xiuli.

I was still wondering why it wasn't Niu Jinshui, but Niu Xiuli spoke first, "Sister, Jinshui is sick, I'll take her place today."

She was full of life yesterday, with no signs of illness, but today she doesn't even have the energy to dig wild vegetables. This is not right. "What's wrong with her?"

Niu Xiuli told the truth, and Ni'er just felt regretful and pitiful for Jinshui.

The old lady did not give up the idea of ​​making tofu. At least she made soy milk. She would try it again today. Even if there was no tofu, she would still have soy milk to drink.

Niu Laoda and Niu Laoer started grinding the beans reluctantly.

Because of experience, the soy milk was already boiled this time, but no one in the family dared to come forward. Just one look at it made them feel a dull pain in their stomachs.

The old lady didn't dare to try it. If she did it again, she might have to go see the old man. So she let the young people go first. "Old man, second brother, you come and drink."

The two men picked up the bowls tremblingly and each took a small sip.

Niu Laoer was shocked by the taste of the soy milk, "It tastes good~" and then took another big sip.

Although Boss Niu also thought the food tasted good, his life was more important, so he gave the bowl to someone else.

Niu Manguan and Niu Fugui learned their lesson and refused to drink first no matter what. They waited until everyone had finished drinking before they picked up the bowls that had some liquid left.

Although cooked soy milk and raw soy beans taste different, it’s no wonder that everyone in the town likes this delicious drink.

The eldest and the second son looked at each other, both with worried looks on their faces. They had not yet developed how to make tofu, but the old lady would definitely not miss this opportunity to make money. Hard days were about to come. They would have to get up early every day to go to town, and they would not get a penny of the money they earned.

Seeing that no one reacted, the old lady filled half a bowl of the still steaming soy milk and drank it slowly. It was so soothing. She knew it would surely sell for a lot of money, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Several children broke out in cold sweats when they saw this scene.

"Big brother, second brother, go to town and sell soy milk tomorrow. Add more water and the price will be cheaper. I'm sure people will buy it."

Although they were extremely reluctant, the two still agreed.

Several children stared at the remaining soy milk and drooled. The old lady quickly covered it with something and said, "The things here are not what you should be thinking about. Go and play."

Widow Li had a rule in mind: men must fish and she couldn't hang around in front of him every day, otherwise he would lose interest. So she didn't go there to wait for him today, but came directly to the river.

The people around felt that Widow Li was different in some ways from before, and her complexion looked much better.

"Hey~ What good things have happened to you recently?"

Widow Li smiled shyly and looked up at the man, "What good news can come from~"

The bystander stopped what he was doing and said, "I don't believe it. You are not like this usually."

Seeing that this person was pestering me endlessly, I made up a random excuse to get rid of him, "It's just that my employer didn't bother me. Don't think too much about it."
