Chapter 54 New Products 1
After another two days of snowfall, it finally cleared up on the third day.

The man who slept in the hut also woke up the second night after moving back.

Even though he woke up, he still slept with his eyes closed for most of the day.

Seeing his frail appearance, Li Kongzhu couldn't bear the pain and took out another [-] Wen, and bought some big bone sticks and two or three catties of lean meat back.

Every day when he wakes up, cook him a bowl of minced meat porridge and feed him.Zhao Junyi made up the soup made by Big Bone Stick.

In the past few days, besides giving that person his pulse from time to time during the day, he often gets up at night to go to the hut.

She didn't know what he did to that person, she only knew that after every time, he would sit on the kang with a pale face, or meditate in the hut to adjust his breath when someone came.

Just like now, he came back from the hut with a pale face.

Li Kongzhu couldn't bear it, looked at him and asked, "Can't he take medicine for his injury?"

After the man sat on the kang, he slowly closed his eyes and adjusted his breath to adjust the rushing gas in his body.Hearing her question, he said calmly without opening his eyes: "Internal injuries have caused too much loss. If you want to take medicine, you can't avoid such great tonics as ganoderma lucidum and ginseng!"

Meaning, it takes a lot of silver?
Thinking of the one hundred coppers left in the family.Li Kongzhu's heart twitched, and his face was squeezed together in pain.

The man opened his eyes to look at her, and saw that she was holding the embroidery needle in her hand and holding it in front of her eyes, her face looked like she had been cut in pain.For some reason, some joy slipped through his eyes.

Closing his eyes, inadvertently raised the corners of his mouth, someone continued to harmonize the breath in his body.

And the man in the hut just woke up at this moment.The peaceful and warm current flowing in his body made him more sure that someone was taking care of him to heal his wounds.

Turning his eyes, he looked at the small thatched hut he was in.To be honest, the reason why he woke up the night before yesterday was because he woke up from the cold.

As soon as he woke up, he felt that the north wind blowing in from outside the wall made his ears hurt.His whole body was unable to move even half of it due to serious internal injuries. In the past, it was an easy movement to raise his hand, but it was as difficult as heaven for him to do now.

Just when he was about to raise his hand, sweating profusely from the pain, the door of the hut was pushed open from the outside.

The person standing at the door, even in the dark night, can make people feel the chilling light in his eyes.

"Are you awake?!" came an indifferent voice.

As he walked into the room, someone slammed the door backhand and closed it firmly.

To be honest, if not sure he saved himself.Just based on the chill all over his body, it may be difficult for people to tell whether he is an enemy or a friend.

With a hoarse and rough voice, he hummed lightly.Sui Difficult said thanks: "Thank you, the strong man, for your rescue!"

"I'm just a countryman, I can't be a strong man!" The visitor took out a bowl, took the medicine jar off the small stove, and poured the medicine.

Walking over, she sat on the bed and looked at him, saying, "Drink it yourself, or should I help you?!"

The man froze for a moment, somehow remembering the unpalatable and choking hot soup.At that time, the rushing and urgent soup choked him almost to suffocation.

Although he didn't see who administered the medicine, he knew it in his heart when he opened his eyes and saw the man.

"I, I'll drink it myself!"

When he finished speaking, the visitor put the medicine in his mouth.

"Open your mouth!"

When he opened his mouth obediently, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his eyes in shock.

The person who came didn't give him any chance to reprimand him, and directly pointed the medicine bowl to his mouth, and poured it down continuously.

During this period, he was choked several times because of the rush of water.

After drinking the medicine, the visitor washed the bowl and put it in a medium wooden basin beside him, and was about to leave the house.

Seeing this, he hurriedly called out, "I haven't consulted the strong man yet..."

"surnamed Zhao, the third eldest in the family!"

"Brother Zhao!" The man called hoarsely.

The person who came did not say a word, which was regarded as acquiescing to his title.

Seeing that he opened the door, he said again: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your rescue today. In order to save Cui's life, Brother Zhao must have lost a lot of internal energy. If my servant finds him in the future, I will thank you with a generous gift." !"

The visitor's eyes flickered.They didn't meet each other, but when they lifted their feet out of the house, they said, "Since I have told you, I am a villager, so I don't understand what you mean by inner strength and true energy! Farewell!"

……

The man who recovered from his memories, looked at the big gap on the wall of the hut, couldn't help but sneered and pursed his lips.

What to say I don't know the inner strength.But every time he intentionally came to indoctrinate him when he was half-conscious, who exactly is this man surnamed Zhao?What is the purpose of doing this?

"Crack!" The sound of the door opening.

The man rolled his eyes and saw a woman walking in.

In the past two days, whenever he was awake, the woman would bring out a bowl of minced meat porridge and feed it to him.Hearing that she called the man surnamed Zhao the head of the house, I realized that they were a married couple.

Seeing her nimbly bringing out the warm meat porridge from the pot, when she approached, she smiled and said: "Wake up, you have slept for an hour less than yesterday."

With that said, he sat on the bench beside the bed.The person with the spoon in his hand scooped up the porridge and brought it to his mouth, "Ah!"

The man narrowed his long and narrow eyes, opened his mouth, and let her feed the thick porridge that melted in his mouth.

His eyes stared at her for a moment, as if he wanted to see something different from her.

Li Kongzhu let him watch, feeding spoonful by spoonful with a faint smile without saying a word.

When the bottom of the bowl was getting empty, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Sister-in-law! I'm here, open the door for me!"

After hearing this, Li Kongzhu yelled towards the outside, and then called in the direction of the main house, "The head of the house. Ya'er is here, please help open the door. I am feeding, and there is another Looks like two spoonfuls!"

After shouting, he turned his head and continued to look at him with a smile and said: "Come on, continue!"

The man's eyes rolled, but he couldn't see her at all.

When it comes to talking and acting, she looks like a peasant woman, but when it comes to her gestures, she is not as rude as a peasant woman.

Frowning and thinking, the woman has finished feeding the porridge.After wiping the corners of his mouth, he got up and started fetching water to clean the bowl.

"That's right! I haven't asked your last name yet!" Li Kongzhu washed the bowl and put it in the wooden basin beside him.

Turning around, he wiped his hands on the towel hanging on the wall, "My husband's family name is Zhao, and people call him Sanlang Zhao. My natal family is from the Li family village next door, and my surname is also Li. You can call me Li Shi. If you want to call me If you want to be closer, call me according to your age!"

"Do you have a crown? I have been in charge of the crown for more than two years, and he and I are newlyweds. Therefore, there is no heir in the family. If you have been crowned for less than two years, then you can respectfully call me a sister-in-law .If it’s bigger than my family, Li’s is fine too.”

The man froze.I didn't expect that she would tell all about the situation at home.It was like being peeped into his mind, which made him a little ugly, but at the same time a little displeased.

Looking down and blinking, he said hoarsely: "My surname is Cui, and I am the ninth in the family. My sister-in-law can call me Cui Jiu!"

Cui Jiu?

Li Kongzhu's eyes flickered.The corners of his mouth curled up with some meaning, "Then I won't be polite, brother Cui Jiu."

Seeing him nodding, she smiled narrowly again, "By the way, are you in any hurry right now? If you have any, you can call them out loud. They are all simple peasants, and there is nothing to be ashamed of!"

Cui Jiu's handsome face was dark red at what she said, she gritted her teeth and coughed, and finally said in an unspeakable voice after a long time: "Then please ask my wife to call third brother Zhao!"

"Hey, that's fine!"

Li Kongzhu smiled and left the room.

As soon as he came out, he saw Mai Ya'er looking into the room with his head outstretched.He smiled and went over to pat her, "What are you looking at!"

"Hey!" Mai Ya'er rubbed his arm that was patted, pouted his mouth and asked in a low voice, "That person is awake!"

"Yeah!" Li Kongzhu asked her to follow to the main house.

Called Zhao Junyi to come out, pouted at him and said: "I need you urgently. Go and help me!"

Zhao Junyi nodded calmly.

Li Kongzhu looked at his calm back, thought for a while, then turned to Mai Ya'er and said, "Why don't you let Brother Mengzi come over twice a day!"

"Why did you call him?" Mai Ya'er looked at her in confusion and asked.Then he hesitated and said: "I don't want it!"

She lowered her head and murmured to her in a low voice: "In the past two days, I don't know some blind old woman who is spreading rumors outside. She is talking bad things about you and me as the head of the family. I didn't catch it. If I caught it, I have to catch the flowers." The face of a dead woman is not acceptable."

As he said that, he glanced at the courtyard wall on the other side.

Thinking about the faint rumors in the village in the past two days that Li Kongzhu desperately wanted to follow Mai Ya'er up the mountain to find Zhao Mengzi that night.

What to say, if we didn't get together, who would be so desperate to help.People in the deep mountains and wild forests are most likely to be in danger. Didn't they meet them the night they went there?

If it were an ordinary person, no matter how good the relationship was, who would be able to get in so recklessly?

Li Kongzhu patted Mai Ya'er, who was gnashing his teeth in a funny way, "What kind of person am I, you just need to understand it. Don't care what those gossip women do. Let's ignore them, let's just live our own good life and make a fortune in silence." good!"

Seeing that she was still comforting her with such a big heart, Mai Ya'er couldn't help but get anxious, "You don't know. Now it's telling about the one your family rescued!"

After nudging the hut with her mouth, Mai Ya'er pursed her mouth and said: "The dead women are full of food, and they think about disgusting things all day long. When something happens to their mouths, the taste changes. And even I'm going to scold Third Brother Zhao too!"

As for what to scold, of course, why did it come about!

Zhao Junyi happened to come out with a dark face behind his back.

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the dark face became so heavy that water could be wrung out.

Seeing this, Li Diaozhu hurriedly dragged Mai Ya'er into the house.

Tell her about my plan: "I was thinking about letting your third brother go up the mountain to pick fruit. Cui Jiu was seriously injured, and your third brother took his pulse every day, and his face was getting worse and worse. Ask him, he At least you have to eat ganoderma lucidum and ginseng regularly..."

"Ginseng? Ganoderma lucidum? My God, how much money would that cost!"

Li Kongzhu was not annoyed that she interrupted his speech loudly.Only after she was overwhelmed, she reached out her hand to signal her to listen to herself, "I have figured out two new methods, which are not easy to imitate. At that time, we will take the new products that are ready, and we will go to the county town to sell them, although it is a bit far away. But , it should be more money than in the town. At that time, when I have money, I will buy a few ginseng whiskers and hang them for him to see, and your third brother's look will make up for it!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at her guilty face and asked seriously, "I just want to ask you if you would like to partner with me. If you are willing, I will discuss it with your third brother later, if he agrees. Tomorrow I will let him go up the mountain to pick, and you come over to help me at night, let's do more!"

Mai Ya'er didn't wait for her words to finish, and hurriedly nodded, "My sister-in-law and you! Even if you don't recruit me into the gang, I will help. This is what my husband and wife owe you and Third Brother Zhao Mile!"

"What are you talking about? If you don't give money to work for nothing. I can't do it, and you can't damage my reputation!" She gave her a deliberately reproachful look.

On the contrary, he made the guilt-ridden Mai Ya'er laugh out loud, "I don't blame my sister-in-law for picking it up, I really don't want it! Haha..."

Xia Xiang sent Mai Ya'er away, and Cui Jiu fell asleep again.

Li Kongzhu told Zhao Junyi what he thought, "What do you think?" Although the fruit is in the deep mountains, with his kung fu, one person should be able to handle it easily.

"You still want to make that fruit?"

"Yeah!" Li Kongzhu nodded, "There is really no other way out for the family. I was thinking that that person can't let you treat it like this all the time. Since ginseng is going to be used, if it is sold well at that time, I will give it a try. Buy a few roots to hold it up first. When you have saved enough money, you can buy a few more pieces and come back to make up the same!"

After finishing speaking, he looked silent and asked, "How do you feel, Master?"

The man turned to look at her for a long time.After a while, as if he couldn't help holding back anymore, he opened his mouth, "I don't want to..." He stopped after speaking halfway.

Looking down, fingers inadvertently rubbed the lower sleeve, "As you want!"

Is this a promise?Li Kongzhu looked at him curiously.I really wanted to ask him what the half-sentence was, but he seemed to be meditating again with his eyes closed.

So I had no choice but to shut up.After leaving the house, I was going to inform Mai Ya'er's house.
