Nier sighed, picked some grass, ground it into juice with a stone, and applied it on Niu Jinshui's scars. He was instantly surrounded by a cool feeling and the itchiness was gone.

Jinshui found it amazing that Ni'er knew so much while he knew nothing and could only endure the illness.

"Thank you, Nier, you are so awesome. How did you know that these weeds can be used like this?"

This time Niu Jinshui learned his lesson and carefully memorized which kinds of weeds they were, and he will do the same in the future.

Ni'er did not hide anything and told Niu Jinshui that she had become Zhao Jincheng's disciple.

Niu Jinshui was extremely envious. She had always thought that when she grew up she would get married and have children. She had never thought that there would be another way to live. She also knew very well that her grandmother would not let her learn medical skills from others, as she would be considered useless. What was the point of a little girl learning those things? She would have to get married after all.

It is obviously useful. If you understand these, you don’t have to feel so bad.

I sighed in my heart and blamed myself for having a miserable life.

"Nier, last time you gave me the grass to treat diarrhea, grandma said it was aconite, and eating it would kill people. How is that possible? It works very well for me."

Nier nodded. "The two kinds of grass do look very similar. It's hard for ordinary people to tell them apart. The leaves of the heartbreak grass have fuzz, but the kind I gave you doesn't."

Niu Jinshui suddenly realized, no wonder, if you don’t look carefully, you really can’t see it.

The two men didn't say anything else and went about their business as usual. Niu Jinshui had no money to pay for the consultation, so he tried his best to dig more wild vegetables.

The old lady divided the remaining soy milk from yesterday into several portions and used them to make tofu. Although she had never actually seen the food that was passed down by word of mouth, she could tell with her heels that these unsolidified, colorful, and astringent things were far from the white, tender, and smooth tofu.

It didn't taste good, but it couldn't be wasted, so he called a few children to eat it. What was in the turbid water that Niu Li mentioned? He wasted so much food. It was really in vain that he loved him before.

Even though the children didn't want to eat the failed "tofu", they had to eat it all up because grandma was staring at them.

Seeing that there were a lot more wild vegetables today than before, Ni'er wanted Jinshui to take the extra ones back, but she was rejected.

"These are my medical expenses. Although they are not worth much, please accept them."

Ni'er looked at Niu Jinshui's sincere eyes and knew that she was sincere, so she accepted the extra wild vegetables and sold them to the mall. According to the current progress, she would be able to save four taels of silver in another five or six days, which should be in time.

I returned home and went into the kitchen, and tasted the tofu I had been craving for one by one. The tofu that had been dripped with a few drops of its invaluable juice was a little stale, but you could hardly feel it if you didn't taste it carefully. The other bowl was still the same. It would be ready to sell in the summer.

I still need to figure out how much juice to add to be the most appropriate amount. I am a little worried that people may not accept the fresh style of tofu and I might earn less money. I shook my head and decided not to think too much about it. I will know after trying to sell it in a few days.

Boss Niu and his wife came to the town today. They got up very early in the morning, yawned constantly while sitting on the ox cart, and squinted their eyes to catch up on sleep. The bumps on the road almost caused the soy milk to spill. The two of them woke up suddenly, their hearts beating in their throats. If they spilled their life force, they would definitely be beaten up by their mother today.

The two of them only carried a bucket of soy milk, got off the ox cart, and set up a stall in a crowded place. Before they even got there, the ox's hands were sore, "Wife, help me carry it."

Although the eldest brother's wife was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything. She glanced at him, took the bucket from his hand, and walked behind him, staggering. The eldest brother Niu threw his arms around and walked briskly, "Wife, hurry up."

Passersby all looked at Niu Lao Da sideways, "Hey~ Look at that guy, asking his wife to carry such a heavy thing."

"He was walking ahead so coolly by himself, didn't he see that his wife could hardly carry him anymore?"

"That kind of work is not something a man should do. It's really unlucky to be the wife of such a man."

Boss Niu didn't think this was a big deal at first, as no one would say that in Niujia Village. However, this was in the town, and those people spoke softly and covered their mouths with their hands, but their words were extremely clear and went straight into his ears. Boss Niu's face turned red, and he quickly slowed down and took the bucket, so that his ears could be quiet.

The eldest brother's wife raised her lips and walked behind him without letting him notice. The town was better than the village. It would be great if she could come here every day. At home, either the old lady or the eldest brother Niu would boss her around. If she was not satisfied with her work, she would be scolded. The old lady, in particular, could not bear to see her idle. She was like a top every day. He felt better when he came to the town.

I found a place with a few more people, put down the soy milk, and started setting up the stall.

This is considered a famous food. The price of soy milk in the restaurant has increased, and many people are unwilling to spend more money. Just when a cheap one came, they might as well try it. There was no tofu or tofu pudding, so the table was not set up. The guests just picked up their bowls, drank, and left.

Some people who have drunk Laosanjia soy milk before think that the taste is too bland and would rather eat more expensive ones.

Some people have never tasted Lao Sanjia's soy milk, and are not willing to spend so much money to try it, so they just have a sip at this cheap stall, and when chatting with others, they can also mention it as having tasted the popular food.

Because there are only two shops selling soy milk in the town, many customers would ask if the two shops are related.

Boss Niu thought that since they had split up the family, they were no longer a family, but his wife reacted, "We are a family, all from Niujia Village," pointing to the man who was bending over to serve soy milk, "This is the brother of the man who supplies the restaurant."

Passersby who have never tasted it before naturally think it is the same thing, but it is sold more expensively in restaurants and cheaper in stalls.

There were quite a few people who followed the trend and came to drink. The eldest brother's wife was very happy when she received the money. It had been a long time since she married the eldest brother Niu and had touched so much money in his hands.

Boss Niu admires his wife very much. She can improve the business with just one sentence and make much more money than yesterday. His mother will definitely be happy when he takes the money back.

When Shopkeeper Liu heard the diners say that there was a new soy milk shop on East Street, he realized that it must be the uncle and second uncle that Ni'er had mentioned. Curious, he went over to take a look and bought a bowl. The taste was almost the same as water, and it was not comparable to the ones sold in the restaurant, so he was not to be feared.

The old lady still did not give up. She waited until dawn and started fiddling with tofu at home again. After yesterday's experience, the children didn't want to stay at home at all.
