Yipin Farmer

"Well, they won't bury that thing with Chu Tianqing." Bao Qi was pensive when she heard the servant's report, this result was not surprising.

"Master, did you find out the whereabouts of that thing?"

Baoqi shook her head: "I also used their brother's words, and I couldn't get anything out. I wanted to search again, but the eldest brother of the Meng family didn't let me sleep in the same room, and didn't let me stay as a housekeeper. With me, I have no chance to act alone."

"What is the master planning to do?"

Baoqi smiled meaningfully: "Those brothers are very interesting. After spending a few days with them, I think they are very interesting and I feel that my life is very fulfilling."

"Ah..." The servant looked at him in disbelief, "Master, will you continue to hang out with those brothers, eating pickles and steamed buns in that poor mountain village?"

"Although the place is poor, the people are very simple and careless." Baoqi suddenly felt sad, "Chenguang, do you have any brothers?"

The servant named Chen Guang was also a little sad: "No, I used to have a younger brother who was lost in the year of the famine. If I can find him, I really want to love him well."

"I also want to enjoy the feeling of being cared for and taken care of by others..." Bao Qi was feeling emotional when he suddenly heard a shout from the street.

"Xiaobao, baby, Baoqi..." Ting Shuang kept changing names.

Baoqi heard that one head has two big heads, and hurried out: "What are you yelling?"

Ting Shuang found him, put his heart into his stomach, and shouted: "Where did you go? If you get lost, be careful to be sold to a butcher shop for chopping..."

"Don't keep threatening me, I won't eat this." Baoqi also yelled at him, turned to look melancholy, and said: "I'm hungry, see if there is a shop selling meat buns, just go and see, I haven't eaten for a long time meat."

Ting Shuang's heart softened and she lowered her voice: "Okay, I'll buy you meat buns."

Baoqi jumped into the car biting the bun, and asked, "How are you going to help that child?"

Ting Shuang raised her beautiful whip and drove home. She didn't answer directly, but said, "I'll tell you a story."

Baoqi sat down and listened to his story.

Once upon a time, there was a rich businessman who went to a theater. At the gate of the theater, he saw a pen seller. His clothes were ragged and his face was disheveled. He looked pitiful.After leaving, I remembered something, and I turned back to take a few pens from the pen holder, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I forgot to take it when I bought something just now."

A few years later, at a reception, a well-dressed businessman greeted the wealthy businessman and said, "Do you remember me? I was the one who sold pens at the gate of the theater. It was you who made me realize that I am not a beggar, but a beggar." I was a businessman, and since then I regained my self-confidence, worked hard to do business, and finally succeeded."

This story was read by Ting Shuang in a book a long time ago and left a deep impression on her.Baoqi listened thoughtfully, but didn't say a word along the way.

Ting Shuang drove the car back to the village, put the car down at home, and then took Baoqi to Xiaodouzi's house on the mountain.

The so-called home is just a thatched hut, with walls made of mud mixed with grass and reeds, with air leaks everywhere. There is no furniture in the house. There is a pile of hay on the ground. An old woman with a sallow face is lying under a bed of rotten cotton , Three stones on the ground support a pot as a cooking pot.

Bao Qi was stunned. He thought that the Meng family was poor enough, but Xiaodouzi's family was even poorer. He couldn't believe that he could live in such a situation. Compared with Xiaodouzi's house, the Meng family's house was considered a palace.

Ting Shuang squatted down and looked at the old woman lying on the floor. She saw that her face, hair and nails were normal, and her skin was dull and dull. When she pinched her arms, she found no elasticity at all. Got edema.

"What do you usually eat?"

"Eat steamed buns in vegetable soup."

Ting Shuang opened the earthen pot and saw that there was a clear soup with a few vegetable and tree leaves floating in it, and two dark sorghum nests mixed with wild vegetables.Now Ting Shuang can conclude with [-]% confidence that this woman is suffering from multiple organ failure caused by severe malnutrition, and taking medicine alone is not enough.

"Little Douzi, I have a cure for your mother's illness, would you like to try it?"

"Yes, yes." Xiaodouzi knelt down and kowtowed in surprise, "The benefactor saved my mother, and I will repay it like a cow..."

Ting Shuang quickly supported him: "Hey, don't thank me in a hurry. Since you want to be a cow and a horse, then you can do some odd jobs for my family from today on."

Bao Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Ting Shuang ordered Xiaodouzi to graze cattle, sheep and pig grass for his family every day. He could make a therapeutic food for Xiaodouzi's mother to nourish her body.

Xiaodouzi happily agreed, and Baoqi also understood that Ting Shuang did not directly help Xiaodouzi with alms, but asked him to exchange for labor. They are a part-time worker and a wage-paying relationship, and no one owes the other. , There is no mental pressure.

Tingshuang’s dietary therapy method is to save a bowl of goat milk squeezed every day for Xiaodouzi’s mother to drink, add chicken blood soup and mashed chicken liver, and give Xiaodouzi some grain-wrapped noodles, millet and soybean white noodles, Let him cook white noodle soup, glutinous rice flour paste, millet porridge, bean foam and so on every day, with chopped green vegetables in it.Tell Xiaodouzi that the patient has a weak stomach and cannot absorb well, so he must mash the food into puree, and don't eat fish for the time being.After the stomach and intestines are well established, gradually eat solid food and meat.Get outside in the sun when the weather is nice and gradually increase your activity.

I remember this is what was said in a popular health book in my previous life, the more finely chopped the food is, the easier it is for the body to absorb.The right food, sunshine, fresh air and regular exercise are the best medicine for all diseases.

The next day, Ting Shuang opened the courtyard door and found a straw basket outside the door, which contained several tiny eels.

Baoqi flipped through the basket and asked, "Who put this here?"

"you guess."

Baoqi also understood, and sighed: "What a good boy, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness."

"What kind of grace is this?" Ting Shuang was deeply moved, "I just helped him within the scope of my ability, and he kept it in his heart and tried his best to repay him. He is an ambitious child."

Baoqi nodded, and carried the basket into the yard. The eels were still young, and they were raised in the pond for a while.

Later, every morning, there would be something outside the courtyard gate, or a few mushrooms, or a pile of wild fruits, or a basket of snails or something.Ting Shuang knew it well, and said nothing on his face, because he knew that if he refused this pitiful return, it would be tantamount to abandoning his sincere affection.

The wild fruit is a bit sour, so it is eaten by the chickens. Stir-fried snails with chili is a good dish to accompany wine in modern times, but Ting Shuang is afraid of schistosomiasis, so she does not allow her family to eat them, and chops them up and feeds them to eels.

Ting Hui was recuperating at home. In fact, his injury was only a flesh wound, and because he was young, he recovered quickly. However, he felt ashamed and dared not go out. .Dayingzi came to talk with her needlework and said that the shoes she embroidered were praised by the whole village. Other girls and wives heard that Tinghui was also invited to draw patterns, and they brought preserved fruits and green onion pancakes when they came. Give him snacks.

Ting Hui's face was full of pride, and while he was recuperating he had nothing to do, he stayed at home every day drawing flowers and plants.

"You're still very popular with women." Ting Shuang teased him.

Bao Qi immediately answered, "Because he has a deceptive face, those women just pay attention to appearance and ignore inner meaning."

Ting Hui immediately retorted: "You don't even have a good face, you look arrogant, you can't do anything, you can only pull."

"I know you've always been jealous that I'm better than you, my lord doesn't care about you." Bao Qi sharp-tongued.

"Bah..." Ting Hui was about to fight back, but Ting Shuang stopped them: "Shut up, you're going to eat too much, right?"

Ting Hui acted like a baby: "After I was injured, my appetite was very bad. It's not that I was full, but I couldn't eat."

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Thinking of the longevity peach buns that my elder brother made for my mother last year, the little roundworms in my stomach are all lovesick."

Ting Shuang was amused by him: "If you are greedy, just speak up, and you are the only one with a sharp mouth."

With that said, wash your hands and go into the kitchen to make noodles.

Bao Qi watched him busy, somehow felt a little unhappy, murmured for a while, and suddenly said: "If I get hurt, will you also cook for me?"

"Of course." Ting Shuang didn't understand, only thought he was a little childish, so she agreed casually.He also ordered: "Go and pick some peaches."

While making the noodles, peel and pit the peaches, boil them until they are rotten, add sugar and boil them into a sauce, and make birthday peach buns.

After a while, a pot of hot longevity peach buns came out. Ting Hui grabbed one first, and Bao Qi endured the heat and took a bite. The sweet juice overflowed between her lips and teeth, the skin was soft and delicate, and the fruit filling Sweet and refreshing.

"Well, I'm willing to buy each for a tael of silver." Baoqi ate very satisfied.

"Fool. Who in the county would buy this for a tael of silver? It's rare even in the capital." Ting Shuang brought him another one and put it on a plate, "Slow down, be careful of burning."

Ping An also ate with a smile on his face: "The longevity peach buns you made for your wife's birthday last year were very delicious, and now this one seems to be even sweeter."

"That's because you kid hasn't eaten good food for a long time, and the oil in your stomach has been scraped dry."

"No, no, it's really more delicious than last year, second brother, tell me." Ping An also called the former young master like a family member.

Ting Hui nodded: "I think so too. Do you think that the vegetables and fruits in our yard grow better and grow faster than other parents? I used to think that Mr. Chu would clean them up. Now that he has passed away, we I didn’t take care of it much, and the vegetables in the yard still grow very well, which is really strange. And the fruit from the fruit trees in the yard is also big and sweet, better than what we used to eat.”

"Yeah, it's very strange." Ting Shuang also noticed this problem. The vegetables in the yard seem to have been injected with hormones, and they grow big and fast. Even the weeds are growing like crazy, which is really strange.

"Oh..." Ting Hui thought of something, "I forgot to tell you that those small eels grow very fast after being put in the pond. If you don't believe me, come and take a look."

A few people ran to the pool in the backyard to have a look. No, the eel, which was still very small a few days ago, almost doubled in size in just three or two days.

"What's going on here?" Several people were puzzled.

"I know what's going on." Ting Hui, who had the brightest mind, first came up with an explanation, "It must be our parents who are protecting us, because our family's Feng Shui is good, and the ghosts of our ancestors have manifested in the ancestral house."

"Cut." Ting Shuang couldn't accept this statement, it was a feudal superstition and had no scientific basis.But he couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he had to attribute it to the fact that the spring water in the pool was rich in minerals or something.

Ting Hui had a new idea: "Since the feng shui of our ancestral house is good, not only the vegetables and fruits, but also the animals grow strong, then we can raise eels in the pond, even if we can't sell them, we can eat them ourselves. "

Thinking of the deliciousness of stir-fried eel, I swallowed my saliva.

Ting Shuang thinks this is also a way to make money. Although grass carp is easy to raise, it will die when it leaves the water. It is not as convenient as rice field eel in transportation. It is more profitable to sell rice field eel to the city or a larger city after it is raised.The idea must be told to Xiaodouzi immediately, asking him to catch as many eels as possible, no matter how big or small.

When Xiaodouzi received the task, he felt valued and was very excited. He searched for eel nests every day while grazing cattle, and caught dozens of eels in two days.
