Pig Killer

Chapter 157

"Corn flour steamed bread makes my throat ache." Da Chong pursed his lips and said reluctantly, he didn't like to eat it.

"Silly boy, add some white flour!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said, "It will be much softer when steamed."

"Two-piece noodles." Da Chong looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "That's OK."

Shen Hui'e did it as soon as she said it. She scooped some cornmeal and flour, peeled the baked persimmons, and poured them directly into the flour.

"You don't have to add water this way." Li Nu looked at her with her big, bright eyes and said.

"That's right." Shen Hui'e added a lot of roasted persimmons to the dough, and then mixed them evenly with her hands. She kneaded the sticky dough into the shape of steamed buns and put them in the steamer.

As time passed, the whole yard was filled with a sweet smell.

"So sweet!" said the cat slave who was doing horse stance and writing big characters, sucking his saliva.

"It's delicious!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile in her black jade eyes.

Shen Hui'e looked at them eating steamed bread and asked, "How is it?"

Hearing this, the raccoon slave puffed up his cheeks and nodded vigorously, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It's delicious, and it doesn't sore my throat anymore."

"I didn't like eating wowotou before." Huang Zhaoye said with a look of disgust, "It seems that they are made differently."

"I see you're eating quite happily." Huang Que'er looked at her in surprise and said, "You're just pretending."

"Hehe..." Huang Zhaoye looked at her ingratiating smile embarrassedly.

"If you don't like it, then you don't like it. What's the problem? Who would like something that doesn't taste good?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her jade-like eyes and said, "In the end, you still ate it all."

"You'll be hungry if you don't eat." Huang Zhaoye pouted and muttered, "You have to stuff it into your stomach even if you have to."

"Isn't it soaked in porridge?" Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"There's no porridge, drink some cold water to wash it down." Huang Que'er swallowed the steamed bread in his mouth and said, "This vermicelli soup tastes good."

Shen Hui'e made steamed steamed buns and a simple vermicelli soup with bean paste, diced tofu, fish slices, and eggs.

The fish is very filling and very satisfying to eat.

"Not anymore!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with clear and bright eyes.

"But my grandmother and mother are busy and have no time to cook." Huang Zhaoye sighed and said with a smile on his face, "It's good to make money!"

"Then make it yourself!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "Even if it's not for others, you have to eat it yourself!"

"Is it okay?" Huang Que'er asked worriedly, "Is what we made edible?"

"We have always been helping our mother, so cooking is not difficult for us." Huang Zhaoye said with his lively eyes turning around.

"I'm just worried that if it doesn't taste good, I'll get scolded." Huang Zhaoye said worriedly.

"If there are enough ingredients, it will taste good even if you cook it in one pot." Huang Que'er said simply.

"It won't be bad if you cook according to Second Aunt's recipe." Huang Yuanji looked at her with burning eyes and said, "I've had enough of this now, so I'll just make do with it."

"It's easy for brother to say that. Second Aunt uses plenty of oil when cooking, but mother won't be willing to do so." Huang Zhaoye said honestly, "Unless brother can stop me from being scolded by mother."

"No, we're making money now." The raccoon slave looked at her with eyes like black grapes.

"Mother is used to being frugal, even though she doesn't worry about money now." Huang Zhaoye said with a pout.

"I'll do it, I'll do it. If you have any complaints from mother, you can push them onto me." Huang Yuanji patted his chest and said, "I guarantee you won't be scolded." He sighed, "It's okay if you haven't eaten the food cooked by Second Aunt! Anyway, the rice is cooked, just stuff it into your stomach. After eating this, the food at home is really worse than what pigs eat."

"Is it that exaggerated?" said the big tiger in disbelief.

"You eat it once in a while, but we eat it every day." Huang Yuanji smacked his lips and said, looking at his sister, "I'll leave Zhaoye's matter to you."

"Okay!" Huang Zhaoye responded readily.

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold." Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and urged them.

"Hey!"

After eating and drinking, I continued to write big characters while the light was still good.

Maybe Huang Yuanji and others were older and had better control, so it took them a few days to write the big characters and they looked like real characters.

There is no requirement for them to become masters of calligraphy. As long as the characters they write are neat and recognizable and don't look like scribbles, that's good enough!

"Kill the pig, lady! Kill the pig, lady! " Doctor Li ran in hurriedly, his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

Shen Hui'e looked at him, panting and sweating, and said, "Big Chong, hurry up and help your uncle, the doctor, sit down."

Huang Yuanji stood up and helped Doctor Li sit on the bench, saying, "What are you doing? Is there something urgent?"

"It's...it's done..." Doctor Li said hoarsely, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Doctor, come and have a drink of water first." The raccoon slave brought the bowl and placed it on the wooden table.

Doctor Li picked up the bowl, gulped down two mouthfuls, moistened his throat, and looked at Shen Hui'e as happy as a child, saying, "Madam the butcher, it's done."

"What's accomplished? This has no beginning or end." Huang Yuanji looked at him in confusion and asked.

"Uncle Doctor, you mean the bug has been killed?" The big bug looked at him excitedly and asked.

"Yeah!" Doctor Li nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Mother, the worm in my stomach has really been knocked out." The big worm looked at her in disbelief with its black eyes wide open.

"I heard it." Shen Hui'e looked at Doctor Li with curiosity and asked, "You found the medicinal herbs."

"Found it, found it, I'll try it first." Doctor Li said after his breathing stabilized, "I've been taking it for three days, and today I saw a worm, a white one, like an earthworm." He patted his chest and said, "Oh my God! I was almost scared to death."

"Can it move?" the big tiger asked again curiously.

"I picked it out with a branch, but it wouldn't move. It's dead." Doctor Li said with a smile.

"Uh..." The raccoon's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "Isn't this smelly?"

"Haha..." Doctor Li smiled and said, "It stinks! But I can't care about it when I see the bugs." He added with a gentle look, "I've seen all kinds of treatments and rescues."

Shen Hui'e looked at Doctor Li with admiration and bowed, "Doctor Li, please accept my greeting."

"Why are you worshipping me? I didn't do anything. This is what a doctor should do." Doctor Li smiled and waved his hands.

"What about the cost of the herbs?" Shen Hui'e asked with some concern.

"Tribulus seeds are everywhere in the fields. You can dry them and store them yourself. Fry them over low heat, then grind them into powder. Take one spoonful each time, three times a day. Take it for three days and you will be fine." Doctor Li said with a smile.

"The child is taking medicine! Do we need to reduce the dosage as appropriate?" Shen Hui'e asked with concern.

"After taking the medicine, observe your bowel movements every day. Once the worms are killed, you don't need to eat anymore." Doctor Li said to her with his dark eyes.

"That's good!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "What about pregnant women? Medicine is poisonous, so they can't take it!"

"Yes! Pregnant women can't eat it." Doctor Li nodded hurriedly after hearing this, "The seeds of Tribulus terrestris are poisonous in themselves."

"Is it poisonous?" the tiger asked worriedly, "Will we be poisoned if we eat it?"

"It's poisonous to kill insects, but this little bit of toxicity is negligible to the human body." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Or it was excreted from the body with feces." She looked at Doctor Li with a smile on her face and said, "Doctor Li, are you feeling well?"

"No, no." Doctor Li smiled and said, "My appetite has even improved."

"In the art of medicine, there is also a method of treating poison with poison! Don't be afraid when you hear about poison." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and bright eyes and said, "Prescribe the right medicine for the right disease, and the disease will be cured."

"That's right." Doctor Li smiled and nodded vigorously.

"What does Doctor Li plan to do?" Shen Hui'e asked him with a deep and penetrating gaze.

"I have the prescription. Go pick the herbs yourself, then go home and make the medicine to kill the worms!" Doctor Li looked at her calmly and said.

"Uncle Doctor, you don't plan to sell it for money?" The cat slave looked at him in shock.

"No money." Doctor Li looked at her gently and said, "If I have worms in my stomach, basically everyone has them. We have to pay for the medicine, but some people can't afford it."

Shen Hui'e looked at Doctor Li with admiration. You know, how huge the interests involved are here.

"I'm not as nice as you think. If anyone wants to buy it with money, I won't refuse." Doctor Li joked.

"Then the key point now is to let everyone know about this." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear and bright eyes.

"Why don't I just show up and explain the situation?" Doctor Li said briskly.

"This is too slow." Shen Hui'e said as she stroked her brow with her index finger. "We should notify the government. They are more trustworthy. Let them beat drums and gongs and spread the word in all the villages."

"The government?" Doctor Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said, "Is it okay? They are in charge of this matter?"

"The government works very quickly." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her ink-black eyes.

"The government has never done this before. Ordinary people have never been to a government office in their lives, and they don't even know which way the entrance to the government office faces." Doctor Li frowned and looked at her and said, "It's better for us to spread it by word of mouth."

"Hasn't the imperial edict just been posted?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with her glassy eyes.

"That's the imperial edict!" Doctor Li reminded her.

The implication is, how can our matter be compared with the imperial edict!

"When it comes to matters concerning the health of the people, we should put the people's heart at heart. When you are an official, you should benefit the people. When you are in a position, you should do your job well." Shen Hui'e looked at them seriously and said.

"I'll give it a try! I don't know if it will work." Doctor Li thought for a moment and said, "Don't hold your hopes too high." He took a sip from the bowl and said, "I've lived for so many years and I've only seen those people a few times. Except when they were collecting taxes, they were more active than anyone else."
