In the room.
Song Youyou was practicing acupuncture on herself. After practicing for a while, she heard someone calling her downstairs.
"Old Five, wait for me downstairs for a while."
Hearing that it was Lao Wu's voice, Song Youyou stood up and answered outside the window, then quickly took out the gold needles on her body and went downstairs.
Everyone in the family was out, only Song Youyou was upstairs, so the door of the house was closed and Lao Wu could only wait at the door.
Song Youyou went downstairs and quickly opened the door.
"Old Five, what's wrong with you? Come in quickly."
"I'm fine. I just fell while riding my bike over here and got a few scrapes."
As he was speaking, Lao Wu limped into the living room following Song Youyou.
"Sit down and roll up your pants so I can see if it's serious."
Lao Wu had recently seen Song Youyou bandaging a rabbit, and he also knew that she had found a master, so he didn't hesitate and pulled up his trouser legs a little when he heard it.
"It's just a little scratch, it's okay. I'm a man, what's a little injury like this?"
After taking a few glances and seeing that he was indeed not seriously injured, Song Youyou felt relieved.
"There's really nothing going on elsewhere..."
Ah... a transitional sentence?
Lao Wu was startled, "Except?"
"Except here."
Song Youyou pointed at his right calf and said, "There's a splinter stuck in your calf. Didn't you notice it?"
"Hiss—I was wondering why this ground hurts for so long!"
Lao Wu cried out, "Sister-in-law! Save me!"
Song Youyou: "..." Didn't you just say that a small injury is nothing for a real man...
Song Youyou ran upstairs and took down the medicine box.
"Wooden splinters are a bit troublesome. They have to be picked out completely before they can be disinfected and bandaged. Bleeding might occur during the process, but your sister-in-law just recently learned acupuncture techniques to stop bleeding..."
As Song Youyou spoke, she took out the set of golden needles Ling You had given her from the medicine box and waved them in front of Lao Wu.
She first explained the situation: "Theoretically, the bleeding can be stopped by your own coagulation function without the needle, but... while your sister-in-law is saving the dying and the wounded, do you mind if she practices a little?"
Can he say that he is most afraid of injections?
Looking at the row of long, thin needles, Lao Wu closed his eyes in despair and said, "I have no desire to live anymore."
"Why, if you can't get such an excellent comrade like me, you're going to destroy me?"
“…”
After talking nonsense, Lao Wu finally gave in.
But he didn't expect that the process would be completely different from what he imagined.
Except for the two times when he howled while picking out the splinters, Lao Wu kept sighing the rest of the time.
"This acupuncture isn't painful at all, huh? It's just a sore, numb feeling, nothing like an injection!"
"Wow, this really does stop the bleeding."
“Isn’t this better than me going to the hospital?”
"Of course, you don't have to worry about anything." Song Youyou felt very accomplished.
After picking out the splinter, acupuncture is used to stop the bleeding, the wound is disinfected with medicine mixed with spiritual spring water, and then bandaged with gauze.
"Hiss, why do I feel that the wound has healed a lot immediately?" Lao Wu said in surprise.
Needless to say, with the golden needle acupuncture and the spiritual spring water, they can heal even a lame person, so what can a minor wound be?
Song Youyou smiled, packed up the medicine box, and asked, "Did you come here to see me today?"
“Oh, yes…”
Lao Wu remembered his business and took out a booklet from his bag. "I came here today to show you this month's bill."
"Before we took over Brother Dong's pig farm, we had about ten large pigs. After using that biological pig feed, the pigs grew very well. So, in the past few days, we have had eight of them, each weighing over 150 kilograms. We earned about 1,200 yuan, hehe."
He continued, "Sister-in-law, please turn to the latest entries in the booklet. I used the over a thousand yuan as you instructed to buy a large number of piglets, some organic pig feed, some winter supplies, and expand the pig farm. The income and expenses are all recorded there."
Lao Wu finished speaking excitedly and looked at her hopefully.
Song Youyou nodded in agreement.
The frost will come soon, and the life of lack of food and clothing will continue until spring. Lao Wu can listen to her advice and plan the layout of black market supplies, which will come in handy when needed.
Lao Wu worked as hard as two in one day and was making a name for himself in the black market, but he didn't expect his sister-in-law to just give him a "hmm" and not praise him anymore. He felt a little disappointed.
His sister-in-law is the only elder who supports him!
Lao Wu's mood change was very obvious. Song Youyou slowly gave him a thumbs-up and tried to praise him: "You did a great job on this layout?"
"Really? Sister-in-law, do you think so too?!"
Suddenly, Lao Wu’s mouth opened wide like a big monkey.
"Thank you for your affirmation, sister-in-law! I will definitely live up to your strong support and continue to work hard to achieve greater success!"
Song Youyou: "..." There's no need to be so passionate...
"By the way, I just recently harvested some vegetables. Can you help me sell them?"
The green vegetables were grown on the black soil in the space. They grew fast and just produced a full crop.
"Vegetables? Is there anyone willing to sell vegetables at this time?"
The winter in Beijing is very cold, and vegetables cannot be grown on the ground. Almost all families make pickles or dried vegetables in advance to eat in the winter. Only a very small number of sophisticated families will build plastic sheds in their private plots in the yard and grow some cold-resistant vegetables.
But for those who can take the time to tend to their vegetable gardens, the vegetables grown on those three acres of land are basically kept for their own consumption, and rarely sold.
"I happened to meet someone who wanted to sell vegetables for money."
"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky!" Lao Wu sighed. "Vegetables are in short supply right now. I can sell as much as you harvest. The price is negotiable. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Green vegetables are very hard to come by in winter, let alone this winter. The weather is getting colder day by day, much colder than the same period last year. Green vegetables have long been unable to grow on the ground.
A batch of lush green vegetables is definitely a rare commodity at this time. If it were put on the black market, it would definitely be sold out.
Lao Wu is a child of a wealthy family and has been good at socializing since he was a child. Therefore, he would not sell the vegetables on the black market, but would divide the vegetables into several portions and sell them to relatives and friends who need them as gifts or for their own use.
In the freezing winter, there is white snow outside and no green at all. People who lack vegetables can't even defecate smoothly. If someone sends a few pounds of vegetables at this time, it would be an extremely effective favor.
Not only can he make money by selling vegetables, but he will also be remembered well by his relatives and friends. It is a great business.
Humph, he said being a profiteer is a great profession!!
After discussing with Song Youyou about picking up the vegetables tomorrow, Lao Wu couldn't wait to leave. He had to arrange the destination of this batch of vegetables to maximize the profits.
After taking two steps, he turned around and commented, "Sister-in-law, your new master is amazing! I can even walk without feeling any pain in my wounds."
Song Youyou: “…”
