Chapter 115 Watermelon Frost

Du Kang bought a total of three watermelons, he and Natalia ate one, and the family ate another one when his parents came back, and there was only the last one left. up.

Nannan disdainfully said, "It's still my brother, he doesn't even give me a watermelon, how stingy."

Natalia also persuaded, "Give her the watermelon, it's just a watermelon, what are you doing with it?"

"You think I'm mean too."

"Then why are you keeping the watermelon?"

"Make medicine."

"I don't believe that anyone can treat your half-baked medical skills."

Hey, you are looking down on your husband, Du Kang said seriously, "Which time I have a cold and fever at home this year is not my fault. Although my medical skills are not widely known, they are actually very good. Do you know how much I spent on this courtyard house?"

"Ten thousand."

Natalia answered affirmatively. Liu Yun had told her long ago that the courtyard house was bought for [-] yuan.

Du Kang stretched out his index finger, shook it and said, "The price is [-] yuan, and the actual sale is [-] yuan. The reason why I can say [-] yuan is because I rescued his terminally ill son, and I thank you for selling it to me at a low price."

It was the first time Natalia had heard of this and was curious.

Looking at Du Ming again, his expression was ugly. He always thought that the courtyard house cost [-] yuan to buy, but the good guy doubled the price and spent [-] yuan to buy it. How could he not be angry when he thought of this.

All of a sudden out of a million households ah.

But the matter has passed, and the child has grown up, and he earned the money, so he can't say much.

He signaled that he wanted to eat watermelon and come with him. Du Kang took the watermelon to the kitchen, and Natalia also followed curiously.

Du Kang took the watermelon first, cut off a piece of watermelon rind at the head and pedicle of the watermelon, cleaned out the watermelon inside, and put it on a nearby plate.

Now the girl is very proud, grabbing the flesh of the watermelon and eating non-stop, stuffing her mouth full, and holding a piece in her hand, she must eat to the full this time.

Du Kang took out Glauber's salt and mixed an appropriate amount of watermelon pulp, stuffed it back into the watermelon shell, covered the watermelon rind just now, inserted it tightly with a bamboo skewer, and sealed it.

Then put the watermelon in a cool and ventilated place.

The making of medicine just came to an end like this.

Natalia didn't understand what medicine he was making, and asked strangely, "What is this for?"

"Watermelon cream is the best choice for treating sore throat and white rot."

That's right, watermelon cream is made with watermelon and Glauber's salt.

After 10 days, hoarfrost will form on the surface of the watermelon, which is called watermelon frost by brushing it off with a brush.

It feels much better to protect the health of your family with the medicine you make than to buy medicine yourself.

Just as he was proud, a car horn sounded outside the door, and then he heard the sound of closing the car door. Du Kang walked out of the kitchen, waiting for someone to visit.

Although people in this area live in relatively wealthy families, none of them own a car.

Others can't afford it, but Du Kang keeps a low profile.

Originally, Mu Jinxuan was a money-making machine, everyone knew he was rich, and if he bought a car and drove it around the streets every day, his red eyes would be even more.

Seeing Natalia beside him, Du Kang smiled and said, "Do you believe that the driver came to look for me?"

"I believe."

Du Kang was taken aback, you don't play cards according to the routine, I want to bet you, you shouldn't say no.

Immediately understood, because the possibility of finding him was too great.

Several of these neighbors know people who can take a car. On the contrary, because he often does business with foreigners, he is more likely to find him.

Just as they were talking, several people came in. The leader was a white-haired old man with a cane. He saw the two of them smiling and said, "My little friend, where are your adults?"

Du Kang's face turned dark at that time, what do you call your lord, I'm not here.

"what's up?"

"Is Zhang Weiming at home?"

"He has emigrated, who are you?"

The old man was obviously taken aback, and said with emotion, "I'm from the courtyard next door. I just came back from abroad, and I came here specially to meet old acquaintances. I didn't expect them to go abroad too."

The people in the courtyard next to it are not the one with the underground secret room. His house is close to the street, one side faces the street, and the other side is the neighbor.

Immediately went over and greeted warmly, "Then we are neighbors, hello, my name is Du Kang, and I am the new owner of this courtyard house. We will be neighbors in the future, please take care of us, please come in."

"It's nothing."

Several people went in and sat down. Du Kang asked, "I don't know your old name. Are you going to live in China this time or what's important?"

"My surname is Zhang. You can call me Mr. Zhang. This time, I am getting nostalgic. Come back and have a look. After all, it is hard to leave my homeland."

"That's right, we all pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. People will inevitably miss home when they are old. Are you coming back this time to decorate the courtyard house? I am a carpenter. I am good at making furniture and the like, just leave it to me."

Hearing what he said, Mr. Zhang became interested, pondered for a while and asked, "Have you ever heard of a capable man who is called the skillful Wang Jiu? I heard that he lives in Sijiu City and is a master carpenter. Want to ask him to build some furniture."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other. Du Kang raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and motioned Natalia to look at his skills. You can see that his reputation has spread abroad, and someone came to visit him specially.

Natalia did not expect that Du Kang's reputation would spread so far, and no one would believe it.

"I am Skillful Wang Jiu."

"You?" Mr. Zhang obviously didn't believe it, and looked at him with doubts.

"That's right, the skillful hand Wang Jiu you're looking for should be Mu Jinxuan's boss, that is, my humble servant. I don't know how you know my fame."

"In the town where I live, there are people traveling in the mainland. The furniture they bought is very good. I didn't plan to come back, but I wanted to ask someone to help imitate it. Unexpectedly, the other party tried for a long time, saying that he couldn't imitate it, so I had to stop by when I returned to China. Look for the skillful hand Wang Jiu."

Speaking of which, in the past, it was not so easy to imitate the furniture made by his craftsmanship perfectly, unless one was looking for a master carpenter who had studied carpentry for decades.

And such characters are very rare, how can they be easily found.

He patted his chest and assured, "No problem, what kind of furniture do you want to go to Mujinxuan, I promise to give you a [-]% discount."

"That's great."

Afterwards, Mr. Zhang offered to leave, but Du Kang did not persuade him to stay, but went with him to the nearby courtyard.

Mr. Zhang's son, Zhang Wen, took out the key and opened the door. The lock was corroded badly, and it took a long time to open it.

Du Kang went in with them to visit this ruined courtyard house, which had not been lived in for at least ten years. The original magnificent courtyard house was already dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.

Zhang Lao’s eyes are full of memories of his childhood. He thinks that he grew up in this courtyard at the beginning of the Republic of China. He left good memories here, but it is a pity that he will never go back to the past.

Du Kang asked, "Mr. Zhang is planning to decorate the courtyard, but I know a descendant of Xianglei, so I ask him to help, and promise to renovate the courtyard.

Have you seen my courtyard house, just ask him to sell it, it is definitely worth the money. "

Zhang Lao was a little moved, then shook his head, and said helplessly, "No need, the past is over, my Zhang family has taken root abroad, and I don't want to return to this sad place.

The main purpose of coming back this time is to sell this courtyard house and see if anyone wants to take it over. "

"I'll take over."

This idea just turned around in his mind, but Du Kang didn't speak.

As soon as someone wants to sell it, you open your mouth and say you want to buy it, obviously you have been coveting it for a long time, and you have great determination to buy it.

It would be good if the old man didn't kill him at that time.

Turning to another question: "I don't know what kind of furniture you need. You can visit Mujinxuan at any time. If necessary, I will help make it."

"Thank you."

The old man bid farewell and left, returning to the hotel where he lived, and Du Kang also came out.

As for the visit, Du Kang has been visiting for an unknown amount of time with the help of Mynah, and he knows this courtyard house like the back of his hand.

Although it is dilapidated, the foundation is still there. After some renovations, it is another excellent courtyard house.

In the next few days, Du Kang kept a close eye on the courtyard, and only waited for the next time he brought people to come and cut off the beard.

No matter how many thousands of dollars he has, he must get this courtyard. Then the two adjacent courtyards, plus the huge secret room underground, will not be very good.

This wait lasted more than ten days, Du Kang was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and when he came again, he would take the courtyard into his pocket.

I don't know if the asking price was too high and no buyer was found for a while, or there are too few people who have the money to buy a three-entry courtyard house, so Mr. Zhang never came.

Du Kang was not in a hurry, he just teased the mynahs and taught them how to speak.

Unlike the Shrike, which hatched six at once, Mynah had only two.

Don't be too small, their reproductive ability is there, at most two or three, and sometimes one is very common.

Unlike gray partridges, each clutch can lay more than 20 eggs, which can be called a fertility machine.

But this is enough, enough for him to teach.

With a horizontal hand, two baby birds plus their parents, four mynahs stand on his arm together.

Du Kang was teasing casually there.

A few turtles crawled past and crawled slowly, and then took a look at the hanging mountain on the turtle pond, admiring the beautiful and mysterious landscaping, this is really a good day.

While teasing, the roar of cars came from outside. Although it was not close to the door, he could still hear it clearly.

No way, how quiet can you expect the car to be now.

With a wave of his hand, Mynah flew into the air, and with the help of its sight, Du Kang saw Zhang Wen, the son of Mr. Zhang, leading a well-dressed and capable man in a suit to the nearby courtyard.

This should be to buy a courtyard house.

After waiting for so many days, it finally came. Du Kang cheered up. If he was cut off at the door of his house, it would be a bit of a joke. My buddy thinks this yard is not a day or two.

After a little hesitation, Du Kang didn't leave, but directed the treasure hunting mouse over, and leaned against the corner to eavesdrop on their conversation.
