Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
After everyone finished wrapping the dumplings, Li Yan said, "Uncle, let's put some in a lunch box and send it to Zhou Xun!"
Lin Feng: "Then you make the dumplings first, I'll go get the car!"
After the plump dumplings floated in the water, Li Yan put the cooked dumplings into a food box and carried the food box onto the carriage.
After entering the pharmacy, Li Yan said: "Uncle Yun, I made dumplings today. Would you like to try some?" After that, she took out a bowl of dumplings from the food box.
Doctor Yun happily took the dumplings from Li Yan and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite!"
After greeting Doctor Yun, Li Yan came to the inner room carrying a food box.
Tiezhu was lying weakly at the head of the bed. When he saw the person coming, he propped himself up and tried to get up.
Lin Feng, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, pushed her back: "Hurry up and lie down. How do you feel now?"
Tie Zhu said in a hoarse voice, impatiently: "Brother Feng, there's something wrong with the water bag you gave me that night!"
Lin Feng was stunned. "That night, Tiezhu did get into trouble after drinking the water I brought with me!"
Li Yan then remembered the water bag Yang Erlang had given her that morning. "Uncle, I have your water bag now. Do you want to take it to Doctor Yun to see if there's anything fishy going on?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, I also think this matter is strange."
After saying that, Li Yan took out some dumplings from the food box and handed them to Zhou Xun: "I made some fresh dumplings and gave them to you to try."
Zhou Xun took the bowl, sat down at the table, and ate one bite at a time.
I had just a simple meal of bread at noon, and I was really hungry at this time.
Smelling the aroma of dumplings in the air, Tiezhu's stomach started to sing the empty city plan at an inopportune time.
Lin Feng took out a bowl of millet porridge from the food box: "I made millet porridge for you. You can only eat light food in the next two days. When you recover, I will ask Yan'er to make you whatever you want to eat!"
Tiezhu took the bowl reluctantly, lowered his head and drank the porridge silently!
After they finished eating, Lin Feng said to Zhou Xun, "You have to work harder to look after Tiezhu today. I'll pick you up tomorrow!"
Zhou Xun shook his head: "Not hard." In the past, he was often asked by his grandfather to take care of patients in the clinic, and these things were already commonplace for him.
When Lin Feng brought Li Yan back to their residence, Monkey and the Yang brothers were already full and plump.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Monkey hurried forward and took the reins: "Brother Feng, how is Tiezhu?"
Lin Feng: "He's almost recovered. We can take him back tomorrow to recuperate!"
The monkey said happily, "I'm going to feed the horses. There are dumplings steaming in the pot for you. Come and eat them!" After that, he hummed a little tune and led the horse to the backyard.
The two of them went to the kitchen and shared the dumplings in the pot.
Li Yan: "These dumplings would definitely taste better if they were filled with meat!"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Tomorrow when Tiezhu and the others return, I'll take you to the market to do some shopping so we can have a great evening."
Li Yan agreed happily. After such a long journey, it was rare for her to have a few days of leisure in this farmyard. Li Yan wanted to cook more food to reward everyone.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng took Li Yan to the meat market.
The pig heads and offal in Yuncheng are not as scarce as those in Rongcheng. Li Yan asked for a piece of lard, three pounds of pork belly, three pounds of spare ribs, a piece of pig liver, half a pig head, and a set of offal.
The butcher chopped the bones and meat for Li Yan with a few quick strokes. He held the scale high up and said to Lin Feng, "Don't worry, sir. I won't cheat you on weight."
Lin Feng: "How much are these things in total?"
The butcher said: "Two catties of pork belly are thirty cents, two catties of spareribs are twenty-six cents, half a pig's head is thirty-six cents, a piece of pig's liver is twelve cents, a piece of lard is twenty cents, and this offal is six cents, a total of one hundred and thirty cents!"
