Before this, some villagers from other villages also wanted to have their pulses taken by him, but Doctor Shi said he only took pulses for villagers from Anping Village.

This made the villagers of Anping even more grateful to the Tian family.

They really benefited from the Tian family's influence!

Dr. Shi also had dinner at the Tian family's house. Although there was no offal, Mrs. He made a soup with wood ear mushrooms and eggs to entertain him.

The construction of the wood ear mushroom house in Anping Village has begun, and villagers can enjoy wood ear mushrooms every few days.

It must be said that He's craftsmanship is truly excellent.

The wood ear mushroom soup I made was absolutely delicious!

Dr. Shi ate until he was stuffed again!

It was getting late, and Doctor Shi originally wanted to go back to the city, but Tian Laosan stopped him.

"Dr. Shi, if you don't mind, you can stay at my house for the night. We'll be going to town tomorrow morning to continue buying pig offal..."

"I can give you a ride then."

After he said that, Doctor Shi remembered that he had hitched a ride on an old farmer's oxcart on his way here.

They quickly thanked Tian Laosan and stayed at Tian's house!

Now that Dr. Shi has moved in, Tian Guoguo is in for trouble.

Dr. Shi dragged him out for a stroll again! But Dr. Shi couldn't just wander around; he'd finally found a chance to spend time with his master, so he had to ask him about the acupuncture he'd had last time…

It's the same acupuncture technique that Tian Guoguo used to stop Zhou Meixiang's bleeding and assist with childbirth.

Since Tian Guoguo had already accepted the apprenticeship gift, she naturally had to teach him some skills, so she asked him to let go of her...

You also need to find a small stool to sit on.

Only in this way can I explain it to him!

Doctor Shi was quite the medical fanatic; for a moment, he forgot he was supposed to be dragging his master along and obediently gave her a small stool.

At the same time, he also thoughtfully massaged her calves!

Tian Guoguo was thoroughly enjoying herself.

While listening to Guoguo talk, Dr. Shi found some paper and wrote it down.

After returning to his room, he studied the text repeatedly. There were a few acupoints he didn't know, and he even tried to insert them on his own body.

I got pricked in the wrong spot several times, resulting in a lot of bruises!

The next day.

Just as dawn was breaking, Tian Laosan and Lao Er were about to head into town.

Dr. Shi gave me acupuncture a little late last night, and I was still a bit groggy when we set off. By the time I was fully awake, we were almost in the city.

Tian Laosan and Lao Er took him to Pingrentang and then went to buy pig offal.

The two brothers bought even more today than yesterday.

They bought up almost all the pig offal on the street, and even reserved it for tomorrow and beyond.

The pork vendors were completely taken aback.

This family has really strong tastes!

They actually bought so many smelly, rotten goods!

Tian Laosan and his group bought the goods quickly and returned just as quickly.

They returned in about an hour.

Tian Guoguo also got up in a daze.

Hearing that her father and grandmother had bought pig offal again, she pulled her grandmother aside and said, "Grandma, pig hearts and...pig intestines are more expensive."

This was meant to remind the old lady that different types of offal should be sold at different prices.

The old lady was reminded of this problem by her words.

She called over Tian Laosan and the others to discuss the selling price together.

Tian Guoguo recalled the modern selling prices and offered slightly discounted prices for each item. Finally, everyone unanimously decided…

The most expensive pork heart costs 25-32 coins, while the cheapest pork liver costs 18-25 coins.

Once the price is set, continue braising.

But while they were cooking the braised dishes, an uninvited guest arrived.

Ding Zhaodi!

Ding Zhaodi saw that the Tian family was selling pig offal well, so she wanted to see how they did it and wanted to do it herself.

But although that's what she thought in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud.

Moreover, she said...

"Auntie, I made a mistake a few days ago. I promised to cook for you for half a month so you could have some rest..."

"But I had something to do at home a couple of days ago..."

"Well, I'm sure you already know about my family's affairs, so I won't say any more!"

"Anyway, I'm done with my work today, so I finally have time to come over!"

"Hey, you rest, I'll do it!"

As she spoke, she tried to snatch the wooden spatula that Old Lady Tian was using to stir the pot, but Old Lady Tian saw through her plan without hesitation.

"You're saying that, but aren't you secretly plotting to steal my family's secret recipe?"

"Get out of here! You're not welcome in my house!"

Originally, the old lady did want Ding Zhaodi to cook, but at that time they had not yet discovered the business of pig offal.

But now we've discovered it!

Putting aside the fact that Ding Zhaodi stole their secret recipe, just considering Ding Zhaodi's cunning, laziness, greed, and slipperiness, it's likely that the recipe would be stolen before it could even be sold!

Ding Zhaodi was not about to give up so easily.

She smiled ingratiatingly at the old lady…

"What are you saying..."

“We’re in-laws, so as Guoguo’s mother-in-law, I should at least visit my daughter-in-law often, even if it’s for no other reason.”

Furthermore.

"I'm just feeling sorry for you, old lady!"

"I heard all about it yesterday. You haven't slept for days and nights, Grandma, because you've been working on making the braising sauce, have you?"

"Tsk tsk, no wonder you have dark circles under your eyes."

"Hey, don't be so polite with me, go back and rest, I'll take care of things here!"

As he spoke, he pushed the old lady toward the inner room.

The old lady was truly disgusted by her.

If I remember correctly, this guy was stirring up trouble at the door the day before yesterday, inciting the Xie family's two sisters-in-law to curse the Tian family.

How dare you say such things today?

With a look of disgust, the old lady pushed Ding Zhaodi away and instinctively reached for a broom to chase her away.

There's no need to be polite to such shameless people!

But just as she was about to start, she suddenly remembered something, put down the broom, and asked with a half-smile, "Are you really going to help?"

The tone of those words sounded somewhat familiar.

Ding Zhaodi inexplicably shuddered.

But since the conversation had already started, she was also curious to see how the Tian family cooked the pig offal, so she reluctantly agreed.

"right!"

The old lady glanced at the woodpile in the backyard and said, "Those pieces of firewood haven't been chopped yet, so why don't you help this old woman chop them?"

Ding Zhaodi…

She tried to persuade her again, "It's still cold at this time. I'll chop some firewood when it gets warmer around noon and add some for you!"

As he spoke, he quickly sat back down next to the stove.

He picked up some dry firewood and started stuffing it into the bottom of the stove, only to find that the bottom was already full.

The old lady went to the backyard, found the axe used for chopping wood, threw it next to the woodpile, and then came back to call Ding Zhaodi, "Go."

"Don't worry, you'll warm up after chopping some firewood!"

Ding Zhaodi…

She wants to quit!

But I couldn't bear to part with the Tian family's braising sauce recipe, so after thinking about it...

It's just chopping wood, isn't it?

She wanted to see what that old woman would say after she finished chopping the firewood.

Besides, she doesn't have to chop firewood herself!

She told the old lady, "Okay, but if I chop it myself, it'll be too slow and there won't be enough for you. Please wait a little while..."

Before Old Lady Tian could say anything, she ran off.

But she returned quickly, bringing someone back in no time.

To be precise, it was actually that person who was pulling her along.

It wasn't just anyone...

It was Xie Shuyan!

Xie Shuyan had been kept at home by his mother for the past few days, but he finally heard he could come out, and he still wanted to go to his wife's house...

Then he'd have to run around like crazy!

As for chopping firewood?

When he dragged his mother to the Tian family's door, she couldn't run anymore and shook him off. How could he possibly care about chopping firewood then?

Like a little rabbit, I darted into the house, greeted the old lady, and asked, "Grandma, where's my wife?"

The old lady gets a headache every time she hears him call her "wife".

The little kid is already calling me "wife" all the time, it's really...
