Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Wang Luohua was busy making wontons, Wang Luoye was afraid that the old man would be cold and hungry, so he quickly scooped up a bowl of hot fish soup and brought it over.

A kind smile appeared on the sad face of the old man: "You are really clever, and you have a good heart." He said, took a sip of fish soup, and sighed, "Nowadays, only this sip can make people appetizing."

Wang Luoye looked at the old man and smiled sweetly, revealing a pair of dimples on his cheeks: "Grandpa, can't you usually eat at home?"

The old man nodded: "When a person gets old, his appetite will weaken."

"That's not right!" Wang Luoye shook her head, "My grandma is also old, but she is very good at eating. She can drink a whole bowl of corn porridge in one meal. Just like that, she still complains that she is so hungry and panicked every day."

"Then your grandma is in good health."

"Is grandpa not in good health?" She said, she turned her head and glanced at Wang Luohua, "My brother knows a little bit about medicine, why don't you let my brother take a look at it for you."

The old man's expression froze, and he was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Wang Luohua came over with wontons.

The tempting spicy oil floats on the wontons.

The old man glanced at Wang Luohua, didn't say anything, and ate up the wontons. After eating, he said with a smile: "Your wontons are really very good, the skin is thin and the filling is fresh, and with this fish soup ……correct!"

The old man paused, "I have eaten so many wontons, but I have never eaten such delicious fish soup wontons. How did you get rid of the fishy smell?"

Wang Luohua smiled and said: "It's not that the kid is hiding something for himself. It's because the ingredients here are boiled with several herbs. If you can't master the medicinal properties of the herbs, it may backfire."

The old man frowned: "Do you really know medicine?"

Wang Luohua nodded silently, the old man sighed, and seeing no one around, he said bluntly: "A good girl, what's wrong with studying, how can I study medicine?"

Seeing that he saw through her identity as a girl, Wang Luohua didn't care, but he, like the world, had a prejudice against women practicing medicine, which made her favorably feel for him, so she asked him, "Dare to ask Mr. , Why can't women learn medicine?"

"As a woman, you should focus on spinning wells. Of course, if conditions permit, you must read more books to know how to be polite. For example, "Women's Rules" and "Women's Training" are all good books. As for those medical books, they are not good. Women should read."

"I really don't agree with what the old man said." Wang Luohua retorted him very politely, "To put it bluntly, the old man looks down on female doctors so much. If one day the old man has an emergency, there is only a female doctor by his side who can save him. Is the old man cured or not?"

"This one……"

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, regardless of whether the practitioners are male or female."

"You girl, you have a sharp tongue." The old man was not angry, just shook his head, and said with a smile, "You know how difficult it is for women to practice medicine. Although my dynasty has not explicitly prohibited women from practicing medicine, there are not many good people who will Let the women in the family learn medicine, and the medical skills have always been passed on to men but not to women, so women can only learn it secretly, and even if they learn it, they will be criticized by others, aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

"You are not afraid, how do you know that your parents are not afraid?"

"...I believe that one day, my parents will not be afraid."

"You are a bit angry." The old man seemed to remember something, his eye circles were slightly red, and he sighed, "It's just that you are still young, and you don't know that there is always a last resort in this world. Once..."

He stopped there suddenly and didn't say anything. When he saw some guests coming, he immediately changed his subject, "Your wontons are really good, let's have another bowl."

Seeing that the old man was a bit weird, Wang Luohua agreed and went to work.

A few more customers came one after another, but Mrs. Zhang stood at the door and peddled: "Come, come, all the guests, come in and have a taste. There are fresh and hot beef noodles here. It only costs three yuan a bowl, three yuan. A bowl of money."

Beef noodles are sold so cheaply not because people don’t like beef. On the contrary, there are far more people who like beef than pork, and beef is much rarer than pork.

The reason why the price is so favorable is firstly that Mrs. Zhang deliberately sold it at a low price, and secondly, it is also the main reason.

The government prohibits the slaughter of farm cattle. Only when the farm cattle die of old age and the owner of the cattle reports to the government and a special person comes to inspect them can they enter the next step of inspection. To apply for a permit to kill cattle, you must first invite Lizheng to dinner.

Among them, the sales and purchase process has to go through a cumbersome process, and money is also spent on "filial piety", so private cattle dealers are derived.

These private cattle dealers do not go through the government, they pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand, but the price is lower. In order to avoid various procedures, the cattle owner would rather sell to the private cattle dealers than report to the government.

Even so, in order to prevent someone from slaughtering farm cattle for profit, the imperial court issued a price limit order, and the price of beef should not exceed [-] yuan per catty, so beef was sold cheaper than pork.

There is no fool who would sell his farm cattle cheaply. The rarer they are, the more people want to eat them. What's more, beef noodles are a penny cheaper than wontons.

Mrs. Zhang's yelling was really effective. People who wanted to eat wontons ran to her small noodle shop.

"Shopkeeper, have a bowl of beef noodles."

"Shopkeeper, I want a bowl of beef noodles too. If you add a double portion of beef, I will pay you for a double portion."

"Okay!"

Mrs. Zhang agreed happily, and was busy greeting the guests, while Li Chunkui was busy working in the kitchen with all her strength.

After the customers here left, the wonton stall suddenly became deserted. Wang Luoye felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, standing in front of the stall with his cheeks on his hands: "Sister, why are people going to the noodle shop today?"
