Chapter 431 The Goddess of Luck Favors
"Master, seeing that Jiayuan is willing to teach, he is naturally more willing to teach Jiuyue." Xiao Jiuyue took the initiative to change her words and said, "Master, my name is Xiao Jiuyue, you can just call me Jiuyue."
Since Xiao Jiuyue really wanted to become his disciple, he would not just pretend and would show all the necessary respect.
Doctor Xiao Wang stood up and looked at Xiao Jiuyue. His eyes were slightly red. He said, "Jiuyue, I will definitely teach you everything I have learned in my life!"
His words were powerful. He had taught Miao Hong, turning her from a poor peasant girl into a female doctor, and finally marrying into the county magistrate's mansion and becoming his daughter-in-law.
Even though Miao Hong still came to see patients with him, Doctor Wang could still feel the difference in Miao Hong. For some difficult and complicated diseases, or other people's health problems, Miao Hong was no longer as hardworking and persevering as before!
Miao Hong is proud of her status and feels that she is superior to others. As she became pregnant and gave birth to two sons in succession, she was more valued by her in-laws, and Miao Hong felt even more superior.
Doctor Wang saw this and was still very disappointed. Miao Hong, who had said that she wanted to make more poor women healthy, had changed after all.
Doctor Wang took advantage of Miao Hong's pregnancy with her third child to leave and travel around. From then on, he no longer accepted disciples.
"Master, Jiuyue will definitely study hard." Xiao Jiuyue answered very solemnly. She still cherished her life very much. When she got older and needed treatment for an illness, where could she find a doctor?
The best way to learn this skill is to learn it yourself.
In the evening, Xiao Jiuyue specially organized a bonfire party with barbecue, hot pot, and grilled fish. The lively Xiao family was like a big family!
It was the first time for Doctor Wang to eat barbecue and hotpot. He was so excited that he accidentally ate too much.
Doctor Wang ate the stomach-strengthening hawthorn he had made himself and said, "When I fainted on the roadside, I thought I was dead. I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise."
Doctor Wang sat leaning against a tree, sighing comfortably.
Xiao Jiayuan squeezed over, holding a skewer in his hand, and said, "Master, if we weren't in a hurry, the hot pot would be even more delicious!"
"It can be even more delicious?" Doctor Wang sat up straight and looked at Xiao Jiayuan in disbelief. It was already delicious enough, how could it be even more delicious?
"Of course, using beef bone broth or lamb bone broth to make a broth, and then adding freshly fried hot pot base, that flavor..." Xiao Jiayuan sighed, leaving him with an endless aftertaste. He said, "Also, roasting a whole lamb, roasted to a crisp on both sides, with the aroma of cumin and chili powder mixed with the lamb..."
Every time Xiao Jiayuan mentioned a dish, Doctor Wang was deeply attracted. Is this a paradise on earth?
The time on the road passed quickly because of the fulfilling study every day. Xiao Jiuyue had a good memory and was talented, so he learned things quickly, and Doctor Xiao Wang also taught him quickly.
Soon, they arrived at Jiutouzhai. Xiao Jiuyue had not planned to rest, but her grandmother was not in good health due to the long journey, so Xiao Jiuyue suggested that they rest in Jiutouzhai for two days.
It just so happens that there is a lot of rain in spring, making it even more inconvenient to travel.
Xiao Jiuyue was extremely grateful that he had saved Doctor Wang and kidnapped him. Otherwise, now there would only be Xin Niangzi, a half-baked fortune teller, and Hua Qing to tell fortunes, which would be very troublesome.
After settling the Xiao family, Xiao Jiuyue looked around Jiutouzhai: "Jiutouzhai has changed so much."
In just less than three years, the place has become completely different from the original bandit stronghold that was dirty and messy. If you didn't tell people, who would know that this was once a bandit stronghold?
"Yes, now our Jiutouzhai is also a proper village." As the most educated person in the village, Xu Yang was pushed out to accompany Xiao Jiuyue.
At the same time, he also introduced her wife to Xiao Jiuyue.
"Miss Xiao, I used to think that Jiutouzhai was a bandit village, very scary. I was really scared when I came here for the first time." Xu Yang's wife Yue Nini was happier to see Xiao Jiuyue than to see her own husband.
Yue Nini pushed Xu Yang aside and said, "Miss Xiao, this is Jiutou Village now. Many villagers at the foot of the mountain have reclaimed wasteland and cultivated land. Last autumn, they harvested a lot of grain."
"It's good to be called Jiutou Village. From now on, you should turn over a new leaf and stop doing bandit things. From now on, you are all good citizens, ordinary people. As long as you work hard, you will never have to worry about not having enough food."
Xiao Jiuyue spoke encouragingly. She had suggested the method of improving production and increasing production just to get out of the predicament. Now, seeing that Jiutouzhai was getting better and better because of her, she felt more proud and happy in her heart.
"Miss Xiao is right. If they were still bandits, I wouldn't marry them." Yue Nini glanced at Xu Yang and smiled happily. "Miss Xiao, are there any better ways to farm? Can we increase our yield a little more this year?"
Naturally, the more food, the better.
"Xu Yang and the others should have recorded the composting methods." Xiao Jiuyue glanced back at Xu Yang, who immediately said, "Yes, we learned a lot of methods during our trip to Hongdu."
"Miss Xiao, you are going to Shengjing. Shouldn't we send the wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, fish cakes and other things to Shengjing?" Yue Nini asked.
Xiao Jiuyue said, "You can send it to either side. Your wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and fish cakes are all good. Oh, and the fish balls you recently developed are also delicious. I think they taste good. In the summer, you can make them and freeze them. That's fine too."
"Make ice?" Yue Nini had discovered a new world and asked curiously, "Can we make ice ourselves?"
"Of course, saltpeter can be used to make ice. However, saltpeter is not easy to get." Xiao Jiuyue said.
Xu Yang's eyes lit up as he said, "We have saltpeter here. Miss Xiao, we have as much as you want."
"What?" Now it was Xiao Jiuyue's turn to be shocked. She felt like the goddess of luck was really blessing her. She asked, "Are you sure it's saltpeter?"
"Of course it's confirmed. It's in Gaoliang Village, a neighbor of Jiutou Village." Xu Yang introduced enthusiastically, "However, the saltpeter was discovered in our village, and I don't know what it can be used for."
"Let's go and take a look now." Xiao Jiuyue was eager to go and take a look again and again, but Xu Yang refused, "Miss Xiao, it's not possible now. It's in the mountains, very far away."
"Then let's go tomorrow." Xiao Jiuyue said immediately. Such good things must be seen, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste?
"Okay, then I'll talk to the village chief of Gaoliang Village today, and we'll go together then." Xu Yang explained, "Saltpeter can also be sold for a little money, so we'll work together with the people of Gaoliang Village to guard this saltpeter mountain."
"By the way, we sold the saltpeter to the Third Prince. However, Miss Xiao is not an outsider either." Xu Yang said quietly. Xiao Jiuyue thought about it and understood. She said, "Since the Third Prince bought it, can you sell this saltpeter mountain to others?"
