Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 23 23. Warm House Wine
Back in the new house, Lin Qingxi asked the three Zhou Minghui brothers to put their things in the kitchen, and then drove them to the main room to rest.

Lin Qingxi took out a five-pound piece of fresh pork belly from the basket, cut it in half, cut half into cubes for braised pork, and separated the skin from the other half, chopped it into minced meat for making dumplings.

Half an hour had passed since Lin Qingxi made good noodles and dumpling stuffing. She called Zhou Jin and other female relatives to make dumplings.

"Girl Xi, what kind of dumplings are you making today? There's so much white flour and meat for nothing," Zhou Jinshi complained non-stop while making dumplings quickly.

"Grandma, don't waste it in your stomachs. Besides, the white noodles and meat are bought for food. As long as you eat them, you don't waste them," Lin Qingxi said with a smile, and the others didn't get involved with the grandparents and grandchildren. conversation, lest the innocent be harmed.

"You, grandma can't say no to you." Fortunately, Zhou Jinshi only complained a few words, but she was really happy in her heart. The family was in harmony. She and her wife Zhou Daye were very contented and proud.

"Grandma, it's still yours!" Lin Qingxi said softly, "Don't worry, if your granddaughter doesn't say anything else, there is still money for you to eat dumplings."

"Okay, then grandma is waiting to enjoy your blessing," Zhou Jinshi was coaxed by Lin Qingxi to laugh, and the others felt very happy seeing it.

"Big Cousin, Second Cousin, Third Cousin, there is nothing to do at home now, do you want to follow me to learn how to recognize herbs, go to the mountains to collect herbs in your spare time, and earn a few cents to supplement the family," Lin Qingxi turned her head. Looking at Sun Yumei's sisters-in-law, he asked.

"This, can we do it?" Sun Yumei and the others looked at each other and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, if you are willing, I will teach you how to identify and pick herbs, and I can also teach you how to cook herbs," Lin Qingxi said earnestly, "It is very hard to learn, as long as you can persevere, you can earn a fortune in a year. One or two hundred yuan."

"I am willing."

"I'm willing too," just as Lin Qingxi finished speaking, Sun Yumei and the three couldn't wait to express their opinions. As long as they can make money, their hard work is nothing.

"Okay, starting from tomorrow, if you have time, go to the clinic to learn from me. Before you recognize all kinds of herbs, the herbs you collect must be processed with my permission. Is it possible? ?” Lin Qingxi asked seriously.

"Yes," Sun Yumei and the others replied without even thinking about it.

"Then it's settled. You should be mentally prepared. What I'm teaching you can't be hidden from the villagers, and you can't hide it from the villagers. You know the situation in the village better than I do."

As soon as Lin Qingxi finished saying this, Sun Yumei and the three couldn't help but change their expressions, but soon they figured it out, and they also knew what Lin Qingxi meant, although they felt uncomfortable, but they could only accept it.

"Xi girl, don't worry, we all understand the stakes," Sun Yumei looked at the two sisters-in-law and said calmly.

"Okay, it's good that you understand," Lin Qingxi was extremely satisfied. She thought that as long as her cousins ​​were so knowledgeable, her relationship with the Zhou family would never change.

With the help of Sun Yumei and the others, the dumplings were made very quickly. After the water in the pot boiled, Lin Qingxi first cooked a pot for Lin Yizheng and the other children to eat, and then the adults.

After the children were full, they played in the yard. Lin Qingxi and the others were still making dumplings. After all the white noodles were wrapped, they cooked them in two pots. Two catties of dried noodles were packed, and each person ate a small bowl of dried noodles.

After eating, Sun Yumei left with her two sisters-in-law to clean up the dishes, and after they were done, she walked home in the dark with the children who refused to go home.

After the Zhou family left, Lin Qingxi boiled a pot of hot water in a large iron pot, and the five members of the family took turns taking a hot bath before going back to their rooms to sleep.

Although Lin Qingxi slept alone, she was too tired to go into the space to work and cultivate her mental strength. She planned to wait until tomorrow's housewarming wine was finished, and she would be able to enter the space often when she was less busy.

As soon as the day dawned, Lin Qingxi struggled to get up from the kang. It was already the end of July, and it was the hottest time. Fortunately, her house was a new one, and it was very cool to sleep at night. not hot.

After Lin Qingxi washed up, she came to the kitchen and lit a fire to heat up a pot, fried an egg for each of the four Lin Yizheng, and then boiled the noodles.

Taking advantage of the cooking time, Lin Qingxi killed the pheasant that Zhou Minghui sent yesterday and the pheasant she took out from the space. The four of them got up and had breakfast.

After breakfast, Lin Qingxi drove Lin Yizheng and the others to the yard, and asked them to pick and wash vegetables. He stayed in the kitchen to boil water and pluck the chicken feathers, and took care of the two pheasants. People from the old Zhou family came over.

"Girl Xi, just ask if there is anything you want us to do." Jin Dahua and Sun Damei took their daughters-in-law into the kitchen and took the initiative to find work. Zhou Minghui and his men were called by Zhou Jinshi to work in the private plot in the backyard. up.

"Big sister-in-law, little sister-in-law, please help me make the noodles. I will steam three pots of steamed buns later, and I will make them with cornmeal and black flour. Three sister-in-laws, please go to the yard to pick up some of their fresh vegetables. It's over," Lin Qingxi was not polite, and the family didn't talk about each other, so she directly told them what work was left to be done.

After Jin Dahua and Sun Damei reconciled the noodles, they took the initiative to find work. First, they steamed the steamed buns. After asking what Lin Qingxi was going to cook, they drove Lin Qingxi to the main room to welcome guests. The two sisters-in-law were busy in the kitchen. up.

In the main room, Lin Qingxi poured the pre-made herbal tea for Zhou Guitang's family who came over early, and then greeted everyone to eat.

In the yard, Zhou Mingfa's brothers set up the tables, chairs and benches brought from home, and their daughter-in-law set up the clean dishes and chopsticks brought from home.

The custom in Zhoujia Village is to go to someone else’s house for dinner. If it’s just a small gathering, you don’t need to bring tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks from home, but you should also bring something from home to the host’s house, no matter what it is; For a dinner party, you must not only bring tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks from home, but also bring some things. In short, you can’t eat and drink for free.

After Zhou Guitang's family came, other people in the village also came one after another, first the team leaders, then the team leader, the women's director, and the accountant.

Lin Qingxi treated everyone well, left Zhou Daye and his wife in the main room to help entertain the villagers, and went to the kitchen to watch.
