Chapter 300: Widow Liu's Troubles
After brewing, the whole family can drink it while eating.
Not to mention how cool it is.
"Oh my god, this stuff tastes so good. It's sour, slightly sweet, and has a wine taste, but it doesn't irritate the throat. It's not just the wine, but also the bitterness of tea. After drinking it, my mouth is full of the fragrance of osmanthus." Zhang Jinlan exclaimed, holding the cup.
She wanted to say, no wonder it was a recipe passed down by immortals.
He is really a god, he knows how to enjoy himself.
Seeing Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng there, she swallowed the rest of her words.
Jiang Fubao originally thought that grandma would drink the sweet children's version, but he didn't expect that grandma's favorite was the alcoholic version.
Green plum drink has captured everyone's heart.
Everyone found their favorite flavor.
"I estimate that these can only be sold for a month at most. Tomorrow you should buy some green plums, the more the better. As long as the jar is not opened, they will not go bad. We need to pickle more.
This is the only way to get through to next year. Green plums will soon be out of season. I remember there are a few green plum trees on the mountain. I will tell the villagers to go to the mountain to pick them in the next two days. The price is 10 kilograms for 1 cent.
After dinner, Jiang Shoujia suddenly remembered something.
He said.
"Okay, I'll buy a few more tanks, because we don't have enough at home."
Zhang Jinlan quickly agreed.
Jiang Shoujia left with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Fubao didn't follow.
Tonight, she ate too much and drank a full cup of green plum drink, so her stomach felt bloated and uncomfortable.
So, after resting for a while, the children started playing the game of rooster catching chickens again.
"vomit--"
The moon hangs high in the sky, round like a wooden basin.
The light spread like water in the yard of Widow Liu's house.
She covered her chest and squatted on the ground vomiting violently.
"Tsk tsk, you vomited right after finishing your meal. What a waste of food! Zhuzi is exhausted from doing odd jobs in town, and you don't even show any sympathy for him."
Sun Xiaotao sat in a chair to enjoy the cool air.
She waved a fan with her slender hands, her eyes full of teasing.
Seeing this scene, instead of stepping forward to show concern, she tried to sow discord between the mother and son in a sarcastic way.
Jiang Zhuzi's face fell instantly: "Mom, what's wrong with you? You vomited even after eating some wild vegetable porridge, but how come we are fine?"
"I don't know what's wrong. My stomach feels like it's churning and I feel so uncomfortable. Son, let's go to town with you tomorrow. I want to see a doctor." Widow Liu didn't care about her daughter-in-law's words.
because...
She suddenly remembered something.
The whole person became extremely flustered.
"Oh, are you a noble lady? You still want to see a doctor. It's okay to vomit twice. Do you know how much it costs to see a doctor? Your family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat, yet you are still so extravagant. You should think more about Zhuzi. If you really want to see a doctor, go find your precious daughter to take you there."
Speaking of the last sentence.
Sun Xiaotao's eyes brightened a lot.
Previously, when the family could not afford to pay the grain taxes and fines, the mother-in-law would go to her sister-in-law for help.
Only then was it handed in.
My sister-in-law's in-laws seemed to be quite rich. Not only did they give her food, they also gave her two taels of silver.
She took some of the food back to her parents' home.
"You are so heartless. Yadan has helped our family so much. You have forgotten this great kindness in a blink of an eye? What, Zhuzi, you don't want to support me anymore? All right, as long as you go to the village and tell me, I will leave immediately. I won't stay in this house any longer."
Not feeling well.
Widow Liu also became much more irritable.
How dare Jiang Zhuzi say that?
Hundreds of good filial piety first.
An unfilial person will be despised to death by the whole village. Regardless, if he is reported to the government, he will be imprisoned.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhuzi's mind became much clearer.
He stopped speaking for his wife.
Instead, he helped his mother.
"Mom, Xiao Tao is talking nonsense. How about this, when I come back from town tomorrow, I will go to the nearby village to invite a doctor for you. Let's not go to town. The doctors in town are so expensive. Even if you sell me, I still can't afford it."
Jiang Zhuzi thought of a compromise.
But Widow Liu didn't want anyone to know her health condition.
She refused.
"I have to go to town, and I don't want you to say more. When you wanted to marry this vicious woman, what did you promise to mother? Have you forgotten it in the blink of an eye?"
Feeling chilled, Widow Liu's voice also became much colder.
Mother and son broke up unhappy.
The next day, Widow Liu went to the town alone with the stolen money.
She found a remote clinic and walked in.
"Doctor, please feel my pulse. I have been feeling very unwell lately and want to vomit all the time. My wife is worried about me and insisted that I come to town to see her."
She told a lie.
Sat down.
The old doctor stretched out his hand and placed it on her wrist.
Not long after, Widow Liu was asked to change her arm.
"You are pregnant, but your body is overworked and you have a miscarriage, so you vomit frequently. I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy for you. Take it once a day for seven days. Also, if you feel like vomiting again, eat something sour to suppress it, and you will feel better."
How could the doctor know that the woman in front of him was a widow?
He had a happy look on his face as he congratulated Widow Liu.
However, Widow Liu felt like the sky was falling.
After paying the consultation fee, she turned around and left without even prescribing any pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Passing by a vendor selling green plums, she felt a little greedy, but she only had two copper coins left in her pocket, so she could only swallow her saliva and not look at them again.
Not long after she left town.
Zhang Jinlan bought all the green plums that the vendor had just sold.
Not only that.
She bought all the green plums from all the vendors in town.
Afraid that the ox cart would be filled with bamboo baskets and her family would not be able to sit in them, she asked her eldest son to take the car home in the morning when he was not busy.
And on the mountain in the village.
Many women and children were picking green plums, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, shouldering bamboo baskets, or slinging bamboo baskets.
In the fields at the foot of the mountain.
A tanned man was planting potatoes while having sex.
There is vitality everywhere.
The forest was foggy and humid after the rain.
Under the lush trees and among the grass, there emerge colorful mushrooms of various sizes and even strange shapes.
Drops of water on the treetops slid down every once in a while.
It just dripped onto the top of the bun-like mushroom.
Once villagers passing by find it, they will pick it up immediately.
Jiang Fubao returned to the village facing the sunset.
As she arrived at her doorstep, she saw a line of people lined up outside.
Everyone carried a bamboo basket, a bamboo basket and a backpack.
It was filled with green plums.
"You have a total of 20 jin, so it's 20 wen. Go to Tong Jin to get the money."
Jiang Shoujia and Jiang Tongjin, who stayed at home, were responsible for purchasing green plums from the villagers.
Seeing his granddaughter come back, Jiang Shoujia looked up and smiled at her, then continued with his work.
Originally, the Jiang family did not have a scale, but they bought one specially after doing business.
Now, it comes in handy.
After collecting all the green plums from everyone, the sunset came to an end.
The meal was ready just in time, and the whole family, including Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng, held their bowls and started eating.
