Chapter 16

Since Zhao Qinghe cured Xiao's chicken, Zhao Qinghe's reputation has grown even more, and even people in the neighboring villages know him.When it comes to people who cured chicken plague, people who don't remember their names can blow up a lot of examples, and those who don't know think they are familiar.

Before Zhao Qinghe healed the cow, some people thought it was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, but now no one doubts it.During these days, many people led livestock to see Zhao Qinghe's illness. It was spring plowing time, and the livestock more or less got into some trouble.Zhao Qinghe's fees are cheap, and it would be good if he can take precautions before they happen. Don't be like Zhang Dajiang's cattle, who have to rest for a long time after recovering from illness, which is too much delay for the farmer's family.

Zhao Qinghe started to return to his old job as a veterinarian, but he didn't have any equipment in his hands, and it was unreasonable to use embroidery needles for acupuncture and moxibustion.Zhao Qinghe had long wanted to take a walk around the county town, learn about the situation in this world, and buy some things along the way, but he couldn't do so.Being held back by various things is second, the main reason is that there is no money in hand, and even the travel expenses can only be stranded.

Although there were quite a few people who came to him for medical treatment during this period, people in the village didn’t have much cash in their hands, and all the medical expenses were given to him, such as eggs, rice noodles, etc. Some poor people didn’t even have this, but sent them firewood or help carry water.Zhao Qinghe is a fan of enjoyment, and he didn't think about exchanging these things for money, and his family digested all the food, so although he made several visits to the doctor, he didn't have a single coin in his hands.

Zhao Qinghe was used to being independent since he was a child, so he really couldn't open his mouth to ask the old man Zhao and his wife for money, and the two of them didn't have much money, and it was all consumed by their predecessors before.

Today, he was able to go to the county town with the help of the straw egg holder. It turned out that Xiao Yaozu took the eggs to sell in the county town, and happened to meet the former manager of Zhuangzi.The steward used to help Xiao Yaozu a lot in Zhuangzi, Xiao Yaozu just stuffed several strings of eggs for the steward when he was Nianen.Originally, the steward didn't intend to take it. He didn't lack these eggs, but the most important thing was that he was going out with his grandfather to talk about something.

Xiao Yaozu is a typical peasant man, and he didn't care if the other party refused, so he gave it to the steward.When the steward saw the egg's appearance, he immediately understood and felt a little interesting.When I asked, the eggs were transported in such a way that none of them were broken.The steward suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes. They Zhuangzi often transported eggs to the house, and they broke a lot every time they were bumped back and forth.Added up throughout the year, the amount is still quite a lot.

Their master also came from a poor background in the past, although he is well-off, he cherishes every penny very much.Every time the old lady mentioned this matter, she felt very sad.

On the spot, the steward brought a string upstairs to show the grandfather, and after a while, he came down and handed it to Xiao Yaozu five taels of silver.How could Xiao Yaozu dare to accept it, but the manager said that it was rewarded by the master. This method is good for the master, and the loss will be much reduced in the future than the five taels of silver.

Although Xiao Yaozu was simple and honest, he was not a twister, he accepted it after being polite, but he handed everything over to Zhao Qinghe when he came back.Zhao Qinghe didn't expect such a small thing to have so much money. This rich man is really generous. Five taels of silver is a year's income for many farmers.

Zhao Qinghe accepted half of the money without hesitation. Although he didn't think of this method, he introduced it, so it can be regarded as a promotion fee.Xiao Yaozu originally refused to accept the other half, but Zhao Qinghe said that if you didn't happen to meet someone, you wouldn't get the reward, half and half would be fair.Xiao Yaozu really couldn't evade it, so he took two taels of silver, and refused to accept the remaining five taels of silver, so Zhao Qinghe gave up.

With money in hand, Zhao Qinghe immediately decided to go to the county seat the next day.Because he was greedy for cheap, Zhao Qinghe and Xiao Yaozu took the boat together, but they almost killed themselves in the end.When disembarking, the whole person was still erratic.

Xiao Hua looked at Zhao Qinghe with a pale face, and worried: "Uncle, are you okay?"

Zhao Qinghe smiled with difficulty, "It's okay, uncle is a little seasick, he will be fine in a while."

It's really not easy to go to this county, the ship is so full and shakes so badly.Zhao Qinghe vowed that he would never take this kind of boat again to save money, it was really a pain.

Xiao Hua, Xiao Rong, and Liu Shuanzi, who were originally very excited to be able to play in the county, saw Zhao Qinghe's worried faces, and the original excitement dissipated a lot.The three of them are young, and adults have to do business every time they come to the county, so it is inconvenient to take them with them, and the boat fare is too expensive, so they can't come once a year.Hearing from Zhao Qinghe yesterday that he would take them into the county town, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep the whole night, and got up early in the morning to prepare to go to the county town.

Xiao Rong supported Zhao Qinghe thoughtfully, "Uncle, lean against me, and I'll take you to find a place to sit."

Liu Shuanzi came to help, and Zhao Qinghe felt much better when he set foot on land. Yuanchen used to take a boat often, but he had never been in this kind of boat, so he was able to bear it.

Zhao Qinghe waved his hand, "Uncle is ready, have your father and the others finished moving the eggs?"

Xiao Hua replied: "It's still moving, they let us play first."

Zhao Qinghe felt that his mind was clear, he greeted Xiao Yaozu and took the three children to visit the county.Although Xinhu County is only a county seat, because of the opening of the ferry, it has become the only way for north-south transportation, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

The big ferry is much more lively than the small ferry in the village, and there are rows of vendors selling all kinds of food.There were bursts of fragrance in the air, which made the three children salivate.But no one asked for food. Although they were very curious about the surrounding things, they followed Zhao Qinghe obediently, not daring to run around.

Xiao Rong, who is the oldest, still doesn't forget to take care of his younger siblings and prevent them from being crowded by people.Seeing how well-behaved the three of them were, Zhao Qinghe liked them even more.

"What do you want to eat?"

The three children swallowed at the same time, but finally shook their heads, saying that they had eaten at home and their stomachs were full.

Zhao Qinghe smiled and patted their heads, and bought two bunches of candied haws for each of them, which made the eyes of the three children go round.It's not easy for them to eat snacks once, even if they have the most, they only have one bunch, unlike Zhao Qinghe who buys two snacks, and it's the biggest one.

The three children didn't dare to pick it up, Xiao Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, it's better to return it, we can eat one skewer."

Although Xiao Hua and Liu Shuanzi were reluctant, they nodded in agreement, Zhao Qinghe didn't know what they were thinking, "You can get a refund if you buy it, it's not a big deal, it's just a few pennies, and uncle will buy you more in the future delicious."

Only then did the three children take it happily, and Xiao Hua handed a bunch to Zhao Qinghe, "Uncle, you eat too."

Zhao Qinghe frowned, he was really not very keen on sweets, "You guys eat, uncle doesn't like sweets."

But Xiao Hua insisted on asking him to taste it, Zhao Qinghe had no choice but to bite one, it was sour and sweet and tasted really good.The other two also held up candied haws for Zhao Qinghe to take a bite of. They looked very serious, and Zhao Qinghe had no choice but to taste two more bites, and the three children enjoyed it happily.

The three children held the candied haws and took a bite from left to right. They ate deliciously and chattered non-stop along the way.Zhao Qinghe paid attention to the surrounding food stalls, and he disdained these street foods, so Zhao Qinghe didn't know much about the food here, but now he has a clue in his mind.

The ferry has the largest flow of people, and when the passing ships rest here, the boatmen will also come down to find food.These boatmen generally do not travel very far, and most of them only stay near the ferry, so the business of the stalls is very good.

Old man Zhao and his wife can't make wine now, and there is no land at home, so they have been thinking about finding something to do. Zhao Qinghe thought it might be better to sell some snacks.Although Xiaodukou is not as lively as here, there are still many people. It is not bad for the two elders to set up a stall there.It's just that you have to think carefully about what to sell. There are already a lot of food there, and you have to make something different to sell it at a price.

By the time the three children had finished eating the two bunches of candied haws, the four of them had already left the ferry and entered the street lined with shops.The street is very lively, but the flow of people is much less than before, and the air is no longer so noisy.Many shops are decorated very luxuriously, and the guests who come in and out are well dressed.

"Ouch, what's wrong with this horse?" Someone suddenly called out, attracting the attention of people passing by.

A horse suddenly fell to the ground, with its limbs in the air, neighing loudly and extremely disturbed.The horse's work soared and stood upright, Xiao Rong quickly covered Xiao Hua's eyes with his eyes, Xiao Hua didn't know why, so he kept struggling, "Brother, what happened? Let me see, let me see."

Xiao Rong didn't let go, and said seriously: "Sister, you can't watch."

Xiao Hua became even more curious when he heard it, "Why?"

Xiao Rong's ears turned red, "Girls can't watch anyway."

Zhao Qinghe couldn't help laughing, this Xiao Rong has sexual consciousness before he is ten years old, he is really precocious enough to know what's going on.And Liu Shuanzi looked at him in a daze, blinking his big eyes at the creature, not understanding why he looked so hideous and terrifying.

The horse barked fiercely, and the stable boy was about to burst into tears, "I didn't really touch it, what's the matter?"

This horse is a good horse at first glance, and the man who gave it to him just now is a nobleman, if something happens to his horse, he will definitely be skinned.But he obviously didn't do anything, he just led the horse into the stable, the horse suddenly looked like this, almost fell to the ground with him.

The horse was irritable and restless, turned over and sat in a dog position, and kept rubbing its abdomen and the work on the ground. Although it couldn't speak, it looked like it was painful.

Someone laughed obscenely, gloating all over his face, "It can't be that this horse can't find a mare, is it in a hurry?"

Another laughed and said, "Have you gained experience from being a bachelor?"

Everyone laughed, making the man blush with embarrassment, wanting to reason with him but didn't know who it was, so they could only give up in embarrassment.

The horse's appearance became worse and worse, its limbs were tense, and the sound of neighing hurt everyone's eardrums, making the stable boy turn around in a hurry.The shopkeeper of the restaurant also heard the movement and went out to have a look. Seeing the appearance of the horse, he yelled at the stable boy: "What do you think of the horse!"

The stable boy cried and said, "Shopkeeper, I really didn't do anything. I was just about to take this horse to the stable, but it suddenly became like this. I don't know what happened."

The shopkeeper was also in a hurry, if this horse had an accident with him, then he would have no reason to explain it.The shopkeeper hurriedly sent someone to find a veterinarian, hoping that this matter would not depend on him.

Zhao Qinghe was about to introduce himself, when he saw a person standing in front of the restaurant, seeing the appearance of that person, Zhao Qinghe immediately took back his feet that hadn't stepped out yet.
