Chapter 30 30. Divide food, boil medicine

"Okay, you wait here, I'll get you the food," the scorekeeper said, and went in to get the food.

As soon as the scorekeeper took out the grain, Zhou Minghui brought Zhou Mingxin and Zhou Mingyi over. When they arrived, they picked up the grain on the ground and rushed to Lin Qingxi's house without saying a word.

"Big cousin, is there enough food at home? If not, just tell me, I will find a way to get some food back." Lin Qingxi did not say that she would send some food to the old Zhou's family, she knew that the old Zhou's family would not accept it .

"The family has enough food. This year, thanks to you leading us all to collect medicines and sell them for money, the whole village has had the biggest harvest this year," Zhou Minghui said with a smile. Their small family has earned dozens of dollars.

"That's good," Lin Qingxi nodded, and didn't say any more.

"Girl Xi, it looks like it's going to rain today, do you want to dig a cellar out of your house? If so, we'll get it out for you in the next two days," Zhou Minghui suddenly remembered what Zhou Guijiang said to himself when he was at home, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes! I also said that I would go to my uncle in two days and ask him to dig a cellar at home to store food," Lin Qingxi agreed without thinking. She really planned to go to Zhou Guijiang in these two days said it.

"Okay, then you should be careful at night. We will go to your house to dig a cellar for you at night. It is not convenient to go during the day." Zhou Minghui knew that his little cousin was a smart person and would definitely agree to dig a cellar.

Soon, Lin Qingxi and his group arrived home. She asked Zhou Minghui and the others to put the food in the kitchen, and then poured water for them to drink. The three Zhou Minghui brothers finished drinking the water and went home.

At night, after almost everyone in the village fell asleep, Zhou Guijiang brought his three sons to the Lin family to dig a cellar for Lin Qingxi. The cellar was done overnight.

The cellar is in Lin Qingxi's room, and the entrance is next to the kang bed. She put a wooden plank on it to press the intersection, and then placed a large wooden cabinet on it, which contained quilts for the winter.

On the third day after the food distribution, the temperature started to drop, and then it started to rain in the afternoon, and it rained heavily. Fortunately, Zhoujia Village harvested the food in time, and the other villages had not finished harvesting the food, so it was bad. in the field.

After it rained, the matter of collecting herbs was postponed. It wasn't about the delay of collecting herbs. Even Lin Qingxi's teaching of apprentices was postponed, but it was easy to teach apprentices. She gave six The apprentice assigned many tasks of endorsement.

Time flies, and it will soon be the twelfth lunar month. Instead of raining, goose feather snow is coming. In less than a day, the ground and roof are covered.

Many children in the village caught a cold because of playing games, and even some elderly people caught cold.

"Girl Xi, what do you think?" Zhou Guitang also had a headache from the villagers' arguing. Because everyone was busy collecting herbs to make money, the matter of collecting firewood for the winter was postponed, but he did not expect the sudden rain, and then It's raining again.

Now in the whole village, although every household has firewood, it is only enough for daily use, not enough for kang, which is why so many elderly people catch colds.

"How about this! Uncle Tang, although there is a stove in the clinic, there is no iron pot. You can ask someone to bring over the big iron pot from the warehouse. I will make some herbs for everyone to drink. Go and inform the villagers. I come to the clinic every day to get medicine to drink, to treat illnesses, and to prevent illnesses.” Lin Qingxi is also at a loss.

"Okay, then I'll do it now," Zhou Guitang quickly responded. He left Lin's house and asked someone to open a warehouse to take the iron pot to the clinic, and then went to every household to inform everyone to go to the clinic to pick up medicine in two hours. drink.

Lin Qingxi waited for Zhou Guitang to leave, she went back to her room to get her things, left Xiang Yijing and Xiang Yikang at home to watch the house, and took Lin Yizheng and brothers to the clinic.

"Girl Xi, what are you doing out in such a cold day?" Lin Qingxi took the two nephews halfway, and met Zhou Mingyi who came down from the back mountain.

"Just now Uncle Tang told me that many villagers have caught a cold. He asked me to think of a way. I'm going to the clinic to make medicine. Brother, you put the things at home, so you can go to the clinic to help me," Lin Qingxi said. Said without hesitation.

"Okay, Yizheng, you take these two rabbits home, girl Xi, tell me, what do you want me to do?" Zhou Mingyi heard Lin Qingxi's words, and immediately held the two hares in his hand, making Lin Yizheng After sending it to the Lin family, he followed Lin Qingxi himself.

"Brother, take Yirong to the mountain to cut two trees and come back. There is no firewood in the clinic," Lin Qingxi was not polite to Zhou Mingyi at all. The two were about the same age and got along best.

"Okay, then you go to the clinic first," Zhou Mingyi said, and took Lin Yirong to the mountain to cut trees.

Before Lin Qingxi arrived at the clinic, she saw Zhou Guitang's eldest son, Zhou Mingfa, at the clinic door carrying a large iron pot. It seemed that he had arrived early and was waiting for her to open the door.

Lin Qingxi hurriedly took the key to open the door, Zhou Mingfa took the iron pot in and installed it, and then stayed in the clinic to help Lin Qingxi.

"Brother Mingfa, please come back with a few buckets of water, clean the iron pot, and soak the medicinal materials. After the medicinal properties are soaked, you can boil the medicine." Lin Qingxi watched Zhou Mingfa standing still. , I knew he was going to stay and help.

Zhou Mingfa nodded, turned around and went to work without saying a word, the two finished their work well, Zhou Mingyi and Lin Yirong came back carrying a big tree.

Seeing that Zhou Mingyi and the others had come back, Lin Qingxi asked them to cut down the big tree with an axe, then split it into small pieces, and then asked Lin Yirong to start a fire.

Soon, the medicinal materials were boiled, and the fire was turned to a low heat to continue to boil. After half an hour, it was almost done.

Just at this time, the villagers of Zhoujia Village came towards the clinic one after another. Before they came in, they smelled a strong smell of medicine.

"Brother Mingfa, you and my fifth cousin are in charge of getting the medicinal soup for the people in the queue. A small bowl for each person is enough, and you don't need to charge any money," Lin Qingxi said, and went into the kitchen to prepare a pot of medicinal soup. .

As early as after the decoction was ready, Lin Qingxi put all the decoction into wooden barrels, and asked Zhou Mingfa to bring the two large wooden barrels containing the decoction to the door to distribute the medicine to everyone, while she stayed in the kitchen to continue cooking. boil medicine.

More and more villagers came to the clinic to get medicine. Fortunately, Lin Qingxi had the foresight to cook again, otherwise the villagers who came later would have no medicine to drink.

It was precisely because of Lin Qingxi's foresight that Zhou Mingfa and Zhou Mingyi admired her even more. No matter what she did in the future, they would resolutely follow and obey her. It also saved them and Zhoujiacun a lot of trouble, and made Zhoujiacun's The villagers lived a prosperous and good life.
