Shen Yizhi accepted the compliment without any modesty.
As the night deepened, Su Chaiyu had to say goodbye, but before leaving, after some hesitation, he made an unreasonable request: "Zhizhi, can I take a pill back to study it?"
He had never seen this kind of medicine before. After studying it, he might be able to get a lot of inspiration from it, improve his medical skills, and treat Xin Niang better.
But every time one of this medicine is used, there is one less pill. If he doesn’t figure out anything, wouldn’t it be a huge waste?
This made him very conflicted.
Shen Yizhi thought it was something else, and immediately said, "No problem, Uncle Su, just take it. Anyway, as long as my master is here, I can let him refine it after my mother finishes eating."
next door.
A figure as nimble as a monkey jumped over the wall and sneaked into the yard.
But before he had taken a few steps, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The originally simple courtyard turned into a gloomy and haunted place.
There are ghosts everywhere and cold winds are blowing.
Li Miaozhi raised his eyebrows, "The old man has come up with a new trick."
Suddenly, a ghost claw stretched out from the ground, grabbed his ankle and pulled him downwards.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been scared to death, but Li Miaozhi is not an ordinary person.
He pulled his foot out with all his strength and crushed the ghost claw to pieces.
However, soon, more ghost claws appeared and swarmed towards him, looking very creepy.
Li Miaozhi leaped up and passed through the ghost claws like a breeze. Following a specific trajectory, he finally broke out.
The eerie and terrifying scene disappeared in an instant, returning to its original simplicity.
It turned out that everything that happened just now was just an illusion created by the formation, specifically to prevent those who came in uninvited.
For example, Li Miaozhi, who often chooses to climb over the wall instead of going through the door.
He stepped over the threshold and something hit him. He turned his head to avoid it and found that it was actually a piece of bone.
In the main room, a tall and vigorous old man was sitting at the table gnawing on a piece of meat.
The meat was deep red in color, rich in sauce, and exuded a strong aroma of stew.
The old man was gnawing with great energy, taking one big piece of meat at a time. He nodded frequently while chewing, with an expression of great satisfaction.
There is also a pot of wine next to it. Take big bites of the meat and then drink some wine. I wouldn’t trade it for this taste even if you give me a god!
Li Miaozhi was so greedy that he rushed over, grabbed the last piece of meat in the bowl and was about to start biting into it.
As a result, another piece of bone hit him as fast as lightning and pinned him to the spot, unable to move.
"Old man, don't be so stingy, isn't it just a piece of meat?"
"Humph, this meat is not for sale on the street. It was sent by the family who just moved in next door. It's only three or five yuan in total. I haven't eaten enough myself. You still want to take a piece from me? You wish!"
Luo Yaoyao, also known as the old man, took the piece of meat from his hand leisurely and chewed it with relish.
Li Miaozhi swallowed his saliva and said, "Old man, please leave some for me."
However, Luo Yaoyao really only left him a little bit - the little bit between the bones.
This made Li Miaozhi feel very resentful.
It's not right to chew on the bones and flesh, and it's not right not to chew on them.
"Hmph, I'll go ask that family for some."
But when I walked to the gate of Shen's courtyard, I found that it was quiet inside and everyone was probably asleep.
Forget it, let’s come back tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Shen Xing got up, made breakfast, and prepared to go out to find work. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a man standing at the gate of the yard.
"Uh, who are you? What are you doing in front of our house?"
Li Miaozhi grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Hi, I live next door to you, Li Miaozhi, you can just call me Brother Li. Um, I want to ask, do you still have the braised pork you delivered yesterday? I won't eat it for free, I'll buy it from you with money, okay?"
At this time, Shen's voice came from inside: "Xiaoxing, who is here?"
Shen Xing pointed to Li Miao and said, "Wait here, I'll go ask my mother."
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
Shen Xing ran in and told Li Miaozhi why he was there. Shen scolded him, "How dare you let someone stand at the gate? Go and invite him in."
When Li Miaozhi came in, she saw Shen wearing a face scarf and was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly greeted her, "Big sister."
"Brother Li, we still have some braised pork left. If you like it, just take it. We're neighbors, why would we need to buy it?"
Li Miaozhi was delighted when he heard this, "How can I do that? I still have to pay."
He took the big bowl of meat that Shen Xing brought out, threw down a piece of silver and ran away.
The silver looked to be about two or three taels.
"Xiaoxing, go and return the silver to the owner."
However, after Shen Xing went there, not only did he not get the money back, he was also forced to eat a bowl of wontons.
The wontons were steaming hot and smelled delicious.
Shen Xing kept sniffing and felt hungry again.
Shen looked at the wontons and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, we can send more of the delicious food we make next time."
Shen Yizhi just got up and walked into the main room when he saw the bowl of wontons on the table. He immediately ran over and climbed onto the chair by lying on the edge of the table. "Xiao Xingxing, did you make wontons this morning? They smell so good!"
A tuft of hair on her forehead was sticking up, which set off her round face, making her look both silly and cute.
Shen smoothed her hair and said softly, "This is sent by the neighbors. Are you hungry? Xiaoxing, bring another bowl over and share it with Zhizhi."
Shen Xing divided the wontons into three portions, one for each of the mother and her two children.
Shen Yizhi drank a mouthful of the soup first, and his eyes lit up, "Mom, this soup is so delicious."
When she took a bite of the wonton, she was amazed again. The filling was pure meat, but it was very tender and elastic. She ate one bite at a time and the bowl was soon empty.
Shen Xing analyzed it from a professional perspective: "This soup should be made from ribs and old hens, and the floating oil has been skimmed off, so it is particularly refreshing. The meat fillings in the wontons have been cleanly removed, so they taste so fragrant and smooth."
Shen Yizhi listened and nodded continuously.
Shen found it funny and scooped a spoonful of soup into her mouth.
"We delivered braised pork cubes yesterday, and today they sent wontons back. It seems that neighbors should visit each other more often."
Shen Yizhi put down the spoon and said seriously.
Shen Xing said: "Brother Li also wants to use the silver to buy braised pork from us."
When Shen Yizhi heard this, he hurriedly asked what was going on. After listening, he fell into deep thought, "Mom, Xiao Xingxing, you said that our braised pork chunks are so delicious that Brother Li even spent money to buy them. Then why don't we make braised pork chunks specifically to sell?"
Shen and Shen Xing looked at each other.
