Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 14

As the uncle and nephew were talking, Li Jingjing walked over with a half-foot-long ultra-small hoe.

Li Qubing asked suspiciously: "Sister Jing, what are you doing here so early?"

Li Jingjing raised her head and said with a smile, "I want to see if an earthworm can still live after a broken body?"

Don't look at the disgusting appearance of earthworms everywhere, it can be used to make medicine when dried.

The first page of the medicine animal book records the functions of earthworms in clearing away heat, calming the liver, relieving asthma, and tongluo.Indications for high fever and mania, convulsions and convulsions, wind-heat headache, red eyes, hemiplegia, etc. (Excerpt from Baidu)

Li Yunqing is a sister-in-law. After going home with great difficulty, she wished to hold her sister in her palm. She hurried over, knelt down and took the "petite" hoe in her hand, and said with a smile, "It just rained yesterday, and the soil is wet and wet." It's soft and easy to dig up earthworms. I'll dig it for you."

"Qing Yazi, there are a lot of earthworms in the grass." Li Qubing once dug wild vegetables for Li Jingjing.The little niece is very curious about everything, and he will help her dig as long as he has nothing to do.

Li Yunqing dug for a while, and found a dozen thick earthworms from the ground.

Li Qubing picked out a half-foot-long earthworm with a branch, and cut it into several pieces with a sharp stone.It rolled on the ground in pain, and very little red blood flowed from the wound.

Li Jingjing exclaimed: "The earthworm is still alive after being cut off!"

Li Yunqing happily walked to the grass covered with wild chrysanthemums, and said, "There must be a lot of earthworms here."

Li Qubing followed.

The uncle and nephew had been doing this kind of thing a few years ago, and they were very familiar with the road. One morning, they dug up nearly a hundred earthworms from the ground, and didn't stop until they heard Qu's shout from the Li family, and then went to eat.

Taking advantage of their inattention, Li Jingjing looked back at the swarm of earthworms in her heart, and silently said a word: Take it!

Hundreds of earthworms on the ground were taken away by the Rejuvenation Medicine House without anyone noticing.

In the villages around Tanzhou Prefecture, the farmers' families usually only eat two meals a day except for the busy farming.

Qu Shi used to live with Qu Kuaishou in Liuyang County, and was used to eating three meals a day. After coming to Qujia Village, he ate two meals for a few days. meal.

Li Bing, the head of the Li family, has been doing business outside for many years. Qu's family is the head of the family. They can do whatever they want, and they can make three meals a day.

When He Shi first came to Li's house, he was in favor of eating three meals a day.

In the entire Qujia Village, except for a few families of the Qu family with good family backgrounds, the Li family eats three meals a day, and the rest of the family eats two meals a day, living a very frugal life.

The rich aroma of shallot and broth wafted from the room of Lijiatang, and a large porcelain bowl of rice noodles with minced meat was placed in the middle of the Eight Immortals table, with bowls and chopsticks next to it.

Li Yunxiao had already washed up and sat on the bench, resting his chin on both hands, staring eagerly at the rice noodles in the basin.

He looked at his second son with a smile. He slept late last night and couldn't get up this morning. If he hadn't told him that there was rice to eat, he wouldn't have gotten up obediently.

Li Jingjing trotted in and said pleasantly, "Grandma said that my uncle and grandma sent fresh rice noodles this morning, and our family will have rice noodles for breakfast."

Hunan Province is a land of fish and rice, and rice noodles appeared decades ago.People in Tanzhou love to eat it.

Qu Kuaishou's rice noodles were bought from Liuyang County yesterday by his children and grandchildren.It was only about five catties.Lin said something wrong at the dinner table last night, Qu Kuaishou asked Deng to send half of it this morning in order to comfort his sister's family.

Li Jingjing is not greedy, but who doesn't like delicious food.Her current identity is a child, of course she should act like a child, happy and angry are all on her face.

He Shi smiled and said, "Your elder brother finally came back, your grandma loves your elder brother, and can't wait for your father to come back, so she made rice noodles."

After Li Yunqing and Li Qubing finished washing, they waited for Qu Shi to come to the table together.

Li Jingjing's small movements are very quick. She washed her hands before going out to dig earthworms, and now she comes to eat after washing her hands.

Li Yunqing ate a few chopsticks of rice noodles, and couldn't help admiring: "The rice noodles made by grandma are so delicious, the gods will go down to the mortal world when they smell the fragrance."

He is growing up now, there is no oil and water in Taiqingguan big pot rice, fortunately there is a father who works as a tent in the kitchen to bring some food from time to time, otherwise he will not eat well and do so much work, which will affect his development.

Qu's smile was all over his face.Her craftsmanship is good, the biggest reason is that she is greedy and loves to think about food.The whole family is in her light.

Li Jingjing's bowl is special, blue and white ceramic, smaller than the sea bowl.She asked to eat by herself when she was more than one year old.At first, Mrs. Qu refused, but after Mrs. He asked Li Jingjing to try a few meals, she agreed when she saw that she didn't break the bowl.

Li Yunxiao started to eat with a spoon only at the beginning of the year, and he used a wooden bowl that is not afraid of falling.This morning he ate rice noodles, he didn't know how to use chopsticks, so He Shi fed him.

Li Yunqing saw that Li Yunxiao was gulping down his mouth and still looking at the bowl, and it seemed that there was no two bowls without stopping, so he quickly drank up the soup in the bowl and put down his chopsticks: "Mom, I'm done eating, I'll feed my brother. Hurry up and eat the rice noodles while it’s hot.”

After the family had breakfast, Mrs. He combed Li Jingjing's hair, and took Li Yunxiao, who was eating with a round belly, for a walk in the yard to digest.

Li Qubing's uncle and nephew cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash.

Qu took a half-finished cotton padded jacket from the house to visit relatives in the village, and took away Li Jingjing, who was holding a "petite" hoe.

Qu's father and mother were lost when he was young, and he was brought up by his brother and sister-in-law. The brother is also an executioner, and has a very bad reputation outside the world.She has almost no friends in Liuyang County.

A few years after she got married, she moved back to the Qu clan with her brother and sister-in-law. Her husband was away for many years, and it was inconvenient for her to go out often. She had very little contact with the sisters of the same clan, and only had one or two good friends.

Later, all the sisters of the same clan married to other villages, and she had no one to speak her mind to.

Now she is finally over 40 years old. She is older in the village, and all the men of the same age are her cousins.She was able to go out of the house to visit relatives, and made a few good friends with similar temperaments, and her life was no longer so lonely and difficult.

Among the houses she frequented was the old patriarch's house.

The old patriarch had three sons and two daughters.The eldest son is in charge of Taiqingguan.The second and third sons work as government servants in Liuyang County.One of the two daughters was married to Liuyang County, and the other was married to Taihe Town.

The living room of the old patriarch died long ago.Now he is served by the elder son's family.

Qu's is the same generation as the old patriarch's sons and daughters, and the old patriarch's eldest daughter-in-law, Tian's, is her good friend.

Not long ago, Tian's eldest son got married and was too busy. She was afraid that someone would steal it from the kitchen, and asked her to take Li Qubing to look at the things.

The old patriarch's family background is good, and he is one of the few in Qujia Village who eats breakfast.

Li Jingjing thought to herself: The few friends grandma associates with are not bad, and they can all have breakfast.She associates with people of the same family background, so that she will not be jealous, nor will she feel jealous.She is illiterate, but her heart is like a mirror.
