Chapter 123 No Poison
After sending Ge Baoer back to Xue Mansion, Yang Yi turned the car around and drove away from Honglu County.
Halfway there.
Doctor Chang then remembered something.
"By the way, guess who I met today?"
Chen Chunxing was taking a nap with his eyes closed. Half asleep and half awake, he murmured unconsciously, "Who?"
"That girl who was attacked in the teahouse last time and stabbed Mrs. Li."
“…”
After reacting, Chen Chunxing suddenly opened his eyes and lifted the curtain.
"I was not mistaken!"
Just now, she was far away and could only see half of the side profile. She was suspicious, but in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared without giving her a chance to take a closer look.
"What's wrong with that girl?"
Doctor Chang shook his head. "She said her husband had injured his leg, and she wanted me to go and see him. But when I asked, I found out he didn't live in the city at all, and we had to walk more than ten miles outside. Can I go with him?"
Although he admired the girl's resilience and was extremely disgusted with Li Po's behavior, she was a horse bandit with a criminal record after all, so he had to think twice before doing anything.
"I think Sister Lan is a good person and not ungrateful. If you go with her, you might be able to make a lot of money." Chen Chunxing lowered the curtain and said in a light tone.
"Do you think I'm a money-hungry person? To tell you the truth, if there weren't so many people coming to see the doctor today, I might have really followed him." Doctor Chang was very dissatisfied with this.
Making money is fake, saving people is real. Gaining back some face... that's just a side job.
"I said the wrong thing. You are the reincarnation of the Buddha." There was a slapping sound in the carriage, as if someone had slapped themselves on the face. "Then next time she comes, I'll let Lao Yang go with you. Sister Lan has a hard life. Now that she's married to a good man, she can't lose her support again."
Doctor Chang moved his lips and hummed, which was considered as his agreement.
After a while.
He couldn't help but ask, "You didn't really hit yourself, did you?"
"ah……"
Chen Chunxing stretched out his little hand from the gap, with a touch of red embedded in his palm, and smiled.
"It's only a few months old, and there are already mosquitoes. Isn't that strange?"
“…”
Doctor Chang said nothing. He didn't want to be sentimental anymore!
——
When I got home, it was already evening.
The sky was dark.
The difficult muddy road was full of pedestrians. Everyone was walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but they had smiles on their faces, no longer the dull look they had when they first arrived.
A few old people were chatting outside the door, a diligent daughter-in-law was cleaning the cart, and the children, after school, were chasing each other as they passed by the mule cart.
No matter who you are, you should shout enthusiastically:
"Spring girl is back!"
“Miss Shen, is business good today?”
"Sister! Sister! I beat Dongbao in the peeing contest!"
The kid who was talking nonsense was dragged away by his ears, and a package made of leaves was thrown into the car window.
Chen Chunxing easily caught it, opened it, and saw several bright red, round fruits inside. Her heart warmed, and she quickly made a gesture to keep him: "Where did you pick these?"
The child's mother looked back, dumbfounded, and screamed: "Don't dare to eat this thing! You naughty child, are you trying to kill your sister Shen!"
She was also very angry and kicked the child several times.
The movement attracted the attention of many people. When they saw what Chen Chunxing was holding in his hand, everyone rushed over.
"Wolf Peach!"
"Hey, what kid is so blind! You can't just pick these things randomly!"
"Quick, throw it away!"
After all, he came from the Earl's Mansion and had some knowledge.
That thing grows in the woods beside the back mountain. In fact, people have discovered it a long time ago, but in their impression, the bright color of the wolf peach may be highly poisonous, so it can only be regarded as an ornamental object, so they have never picked it to fill their stomachs.
I didn’t expect that the children would find it. I wonder if anyone has eaten it?
They panicked immediately and each grabbed their own children. In the tense situation, no one cared about playing the good guy and they all wanted to beat them with big sticks!
Chen Chunxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Like a screaming chicken, he kept shouting, "Don't panic, everyone! This thing is not poisonous!"
“No poison!”
“No poison!”
“No poison!”
The lingering sound trembled in the air.
"No poison?"
Everyone was stunned, watching Chen Chunxing take a bite of the wolf peach and subconsciously looking at the bamboo strips in his hand.
God of Wealth...can’t be drawn.
"You really dare to eat it!" Doctor Chang was different. He was old and did not rely on the Shen family for money. He immediately slapped Chen Chunxing on the back of the head and took her pulse with a dark face.
After holding it for a long time and seeing no response at all, his expression relaxed.
"It seems to be non-toxic..."
Chen Chunxing was too lazy to even roll his eyes.
What a tragedy of just following the crowd!
After the farce.
She finally got the answer she wanted.
The discovery of wolfberries near the narrow village was beyond Chen Chunxing's expectation.
This thing should have been introduced from the Western Regions, but unfortunately it was never taken seriously, and somehow it spread to the northern border.
You came just in time.
The so-called wolf peach is actually a tomato. Ancient people saw its gorgeous appearance and suspected that it was poisonous, so they only admired it and did not dare to eat it.
However, in Shen Chunxing's eyes, this crop is drought-resistant, highly adapted to the water and soil in the north, and has a wonderful taste, so it will definitely sell well.
She has missed this taste for a long time!
When I got home, I cooked some tomato and egg noodles myself!
Of course, it was Lao Wang who cooked the pot and the noodles, and she was only responsible for frying the tomatoes and eggs together to make the stew.
Wang Youcai and Lao Song were serious modern ghosts, well-educated and well-common-sense. They picked up their bowls and started slurping the noodles.
The remaining natives looked at each other, and seeing the three people eating happily, they hesitantly picked up a chopstick, tasted it lightly, and then buried their faces in the bowl.
Two drops of sesame oil are added to the sweet and sour soup, which is so fragrant that it can penetrate into your heart.
The smooth scrambled eggs are coated with wonderful flavors, making it even more tempting.
No wonder they say this thing is a poison that can hook people's souls! They have seen it! It really hooks people!
"How about we grow some of this?" Doctor Chang finished the last mouthful of soup and licked his lips with satisfaction.
He has been in the narrow village for several months, but has never been to the fields. Now he has the idea of growing vegetables.
Everyone agreed to this proposal.
Wang Youcai patted his chest again: "Leave it to me!"
He is an expert, and knows everything about breeding and grafting!
Old Song continued, "Let's go to the back mountain tomorrow and see if we can find more."
Shen Mingqiu looked around and saw that his grandmother was not there. Well, he decided to speak on behalf of the Shen family: "If we set up a stall to sell this food, it will definitely be profitable."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Chen Yandong ordered the tomato the hardest. There was still a piece of tomato peel stuck at the corner of his mouth. He licked it again and again but couldn't get it. Frustrated, he went to get another big bowl!
Everyone called him cunning!
We were discussing this perfectly, why did you sneak away? No, I can't let myself be outdone by a fool!
So, they stood up one after another and scrambled to get the noodles.
After they sat back at the table, feeling satisfied, they suddenly remembered and asked Chen Chunxing, "What do you think?"
Chen Chunxing put down the bowl and wiped his mouth: "I think..."
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Who has the time to lead people to repair the roads in the village?"
Although I don't feel bad about the worn-out shoes, there are so many elderly people and children in the village.
If it rains, it will be bad for anyone to get bumped into.
The conditions were not there years ago, but now everything is moving in a good direction, and she still hopes that everyone can live a better life.
