Li Xiuhong enviously watched her brother and sister make fun of each other. She once hoped that she could have a brother who could take care of herself and love her, help her share the burden of her family and disperse her pressure.
She took a look at her brother, who was sitting beside Gu Ming, smiling carefree. She hoped that he would be as responsible as Gu Ming in the future, and that she and her mother could also have a support.
"Brother Gu, you're in trouble!" Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the village head was relieved. As for other people in the village, he can be the head of the village. However, when he comes to Gu Xiao, he is weak.
Gu Xiao said politely, "it's not troublesome for people in the countryside. Xiaoye has made a jar of medicinal wine. I'll invite elder brother Li to have a taste some other day. "
"We can't miss the medicinal wine made by our village doctor himself. Let's have a good drink some other day!" The news that Gu Ye rescued the bleeding pregnant woman had already spread in the village. You know, in ancient times, it was almost inevitable to die, which was equivalent to fighting for life in the hands of Yama. In private, the villagers called her "little miracle doctor" in awe.
Gu Ye said to widow Li, "you sit and warm up. I'll go and collect the master's things. Brother, go to the firewood room to get some firewood and burn the Kang first... "
Widow Li quickly came down from the Kang and said, "how dare you work, miss ye'er, I'll go and clean it up..."
Aunt Yan grabbed widow Li and said, "the old doctor has a strange temper and doesn't like other people to move his things. Think about it, they are doctors, many things we do not understand people can not move. On New Year's Eve, the house was stolen and the pharmacy was in a mess. I was in a hurry and couldn't help. It's all set up by our girl bit by bit. "
Widow Li and Li Xiuhong, who was just about to get up, heard the words and sat back again. Yes, if people's medicinal materials and other things are confused, they will do bad things with good intentions.
Fortunately, there are not many things in the doctor's room. Gu Ye collected master's clothes and some common medical books and medical books in the cage into the cabinet, and put valuable things into his own space, such as the precious Pharmacopoeia, master's pharmaceutical experience, and the medicinal materials made by his father. He helped to spread the bedding on the Kang.
The three widow Li came in from outside. Gu Ye said with a smile, "auntie Li, you can see what is missing, just tell me."
"No No I'm very grateful to give us a place to live. I'm afraid your new quilt will be dirty. You'd better put it away... " Widow Li was at a loss when she saw the new cages, cabinets and thick soft bedding.
Gu Ye took the bag from her hand and put it into the cage: "isn't the quilt covered for people? Just wash it if it's dirty. Our quilts can be disassembled, so it's more convenient to remove and wash them. "
Li Xiuhong is surprised to see Gu Ye demonstrate how to dismantle the quilt cover. It's very convenient to use the cloth. However, when they came back from the border, several pieces of cloth were brought back by the man who was treating them. It's good to be a doctor. I'm respected. I can also receive many thanks.
Widow Li looked at her children. She did not refuse any more. She said, "it's really troublesome for you. Don't worry, miss ye'er. When we leave, we'll wash the quilts. "
"Sister Li, are you going to join us for dinner, or are you going to make it yourself?" Dinner is about to be cooked. Aunt Yan came in and asked.
Widow Li said in a hurry: "we brought food, we can do it ourselves, so we don't have to worry about Yan's sister." Widow Li heard that uncle Gu's food is good at ordinary times. Stewing and stewing meat will surely be better for the new year. If they join the group, they are afraid that the food expenses are not affordable for them.
Widow Li borrowed the kitchen of her family and cooked a pot of paste and heated two steamed buns. After thinking about it, she cut two thin pieces of bacon from the palm of her hand, put them in the steamed bread, and carried them into the house. Like most people in the village, the Li family eats two meals a day. Today's dinner was late and the whole family was hungry.
Seeing the bacon in the steamed bread, Li Xiaohai cheered and couldn't bear to bite it for a long time. You know, except for the new year's Eve dinner, there is hardly any meat and fish in their family all year round.
Looking at her son's contentment, widow Li's sad face showed a faint smile. Li Xiuhong saw that her mother only bowed her head and drank mushy. She knew that her mother had only heated steamed bread for herself and her younger brother, and she filled her hunger with porridge. She broke off half of her steamed bread and tore a piece of salted meat from it and put it into her mother's hand.
Li Xiaohai also learned from her sister's appearance and gave her mother her bacon and steamed bread. Widow Li has sour eyes. Her daughter and son are so sensible. It's a pity that she has no ability to be a mother, so she can't let the children eat
"How fragrant..." Li Xiaohai like a dog, gently sniffing his nose. This evening, Gu Ye's family heated the sticky bean curd, the stewed pork in brown sauce, fried two vegetable dishes and stewed bone soup. The strong smell of braised pork wafted from the kitchen.
Tears twinkled in widow Li's eyes. She sighed and said, "you have suffered with your mother. If your father is still there, you will all eat big meat..." Widow Li's man was also one of the top hunters in the village. One winter he went hunting alone in the mountains and never came back.
Li Xiaohai cleverly wiped her tears and said, "the bacon made by my mother is more fragrant than the big meat! When I grow up, I will learn how to hunt with Uncle Zhang, so that my mother can eat more meat every day"No! Your father has to go hunting in the mountains! There are many wild animals in the mountain. My mother will not eat meat all her life, and I don't want you to risk entering the mountain. " Widow Li's face turned ugly, and she was eager to get rid of her son.
Li Xiuhong sipped the paste. She suddenly raised her head and whispered, "Niang, if only I knew the herbs. Wu Danggui's mother-in-law would get ten coppers if she dug herbs and sold them every moonlight."
Widow Li frowned tightly: "every time that mother-in-law goes up the mountain to dig herbs, she carries people on her back, for fear that she will be peeped at. Think about it. They all say that the disciples of the church starved their master to death, and those who know herbal medicine don't hide and cover them? "
After hearing this, Li Xiuhong swallows the words that she wants to recognize herbal medicine with Gu yexue, buries her head and continues to drink.
The next day, the snow was still falling. After breakfast, widow Li said to her daughter, "it's snowing these days, and there's not much firewood for our family. Let's not burn Kang in the daytime. Go and talk to your sister ye'er. "
They come to the west room where Gu Ye and aunt Yan live. Aunt Yan is cutting medicine and Gu Ye is grinding medicine. When they see widow Li coming in, they stop talking and laughing. Gu Ye raised his smile and said, "Aunt Li, Xiuhong, sit on the Kang. Xiao Hai, there are hazelnuts and pine nuts on the Kang Table. Take them by yourself. "
Li Xiuhong saw that she was skillful in crushing the medicine under her feet. She did not delay to grind the medicine. She looked at it carefully for a while and said, "is this crushing the medicine?"
Gu Ye solved her doubts and said, "this is called a medicine mill. It is to press and grind the copper paste in the grinding groove with feet, so that the medicinal materials can be shelled, decomposed and broken into powder, so as to further make pills, powders, ointment, Dan and other proprietary medicines."
"Can I have a try?" Li Xiuhong looked out of the door, looked up at her and asked tentatively.
If someone is willing to help, why not? Gu Ye lifted her feet from the medicine roller and moved her buttocks to let Li Xiuhong sit down in her position.
Li Xiuhong tried. At the beginning, she could not grasp the strength and balance, and the copper stick under her feet was always disobedient. Gu Ye points out a few words at the same time, and she soon learns the essentials and grinds up the medicine in a certain way.
Widow Li also picked up a knife, like aunt Yan, cut up the medicinal materials. Although she was not as good as aunt Yan, she cut it carefully. The medicine she cut out was very thin and even. Gu Ye praised: "auntie Li, this knife work is really good. It's better to Come and help me when you are free? I'll give you ten Wen a day. "
"We have enough trouble staying in your house. Do me a little favor and talk about the salary. " Widow Li's face turned red and she kept shaking her hands. She insisted that she would not ask for her salary.
Gu Ye explained: "Aunt Li, I want to ask you and Xiuhong to help me for a long time. You see, I have only one pair of hands, cutting medicine, grinding medicine, washing medicine and so on, all pointing to me alone, can not produce much medicine in a month. If you and Xiuhong come to help, it will be different. I can make more medicine without cutting and grinding
Ten Wen a day, more than 300 a month! Li Xiuhong looked at her mother eagerly and was obviously moved. Her family has little land, and the food she grows is not enough to eat. Most of the year, it's potherb. Mother's health is not good. She always suffers from several illnesses a year. The money she gets from collecting mountain goods and digging wild vegetables is not enough for her medicine. The younger brother is smart and studious, and he envies every time he sees other children go to Gu San's home to study.
If she and her mother can work at home and earn more than 600 Wen a month, they can not only feed the family, but also save some money to send their younger brother to school. It's better to know some words and learn how to calculate accounts. It's better to find an accountant's job in the town when I'm big than to stay in this poor Valley all my life.
Widow Li was lost in thought. Processed medicinal materials are more valuable than ordinary herbs. Just look at Wu Danggui and his wife. In a few years' time, they have accumulated 100 or so Dang. Gu Ye's medicine was sold at a good price in the town. She also heard about it. Several baskets of medicine earned more than 60 Liang silver, which she did not dare to think about.
Miss ye'er has a point. If you make more baskets of medicine every month, you can earn more than ten Liang silver. She also has a salary, which is really a benefit to both families.
This thought, coupled with aunt Yan's advice, Aunt Li stopped insisting and promised to help every day except during the busy farming season. As for the wages, the daily settlement was too troublesome, so it was agreed that the settlement should be made once every ten days.
