Volume 1 Chapter 443 Clay Pot Soup
You know, the older the wild ginseng is, the better its medicinal properties will be. Of course, the thicker the better. However, Shenyang himself has no money and has not obtained the owner's permission, so it is impossible for him to spend a lot of money to buy a wild ginseng.
Being able to buy a small piece of wild ginseng was just a temporary measure, so after paying the money, he quickly turned around and disappeared from the waiter's sight.
After watching the sucker buy the wild ginseng, the waiter earned three taels of silver with tears in his eyes, and then went to sleep soundly.
I still felt sorry for that sucker. How could such a tiny piece of wild ginseng be worth ten taels of silver?
But who can blame me for having to live? I made three taels of silver for free, which is enough for my family to live on for a year!
Brother Ma, when he came back, Xiaoyu had just bought a black chicken from the lady next to him. The two of them happened to meet and went back to the inn together.
Fortunately, there was a small earthenware pot and a brazier in the young lady's room, which could be used to feed the soup!
"Brother Ma, have you bought it yet? I've bought it too. When I came out just now, I saw a small clay pot in the house. It was cleaned and I can use that pot to make soup!"
"Soup cooked in a clay pot is not only delicious, but also has minimal nutrient loss, ensuring maximum nutritional value!"
"Let's try to help the young lady recover her strength as quickly as possible. After she wakes up, we can discuss our next steps, shall we?"
Brother Ma looked at the little girl next to him who was about the same age as the young lady. Seeing that she was frowning tightly and had a sadness on her face that did not belong to her age, he suddenly felt pity for her.
This is the child from a poor family. He has no parents to take care of him since he was born and can only grow up alone in this world with great difficulty.
"well!
We are all born by our parents, but everyone has a different fate!
There is no way. Some people are born to be rich, while some people are born to suffer all their lives and have to endure hardship wherever they go.
After comforting her, he said, "Please invite the young lady over. She will definitely praise your cleverness and dexterity, and our future will definitely be better than before. You don't have to worry about anyone whipping you. Our young lady looks gentle and kind, and she is an easy-going master."
"Ah, there's no need to be so gloomy. You're almost wrinkled like an old man. Just take good care of the young lady every day. When she gets better, we'll follow her. Wherever she is, we'll be there. I think we should be able to live a good life."
After hearing what Brother Ma said, Xiaoyu's frown did not completely relax, but she felt a little relieved in her heart.
He gently said thank you to Brother Ma, then picked up the black chicken and prepared to feed it soup.
Brother Ma, seeing that the little girl took his words to heart, didn't say anything more. Life is still long, and the little girl has to walk on her own. He is also a poor man and can't give her much help. He can only give her more care in some daily life.
It seems that the little girl doesn’t know how to light a brazier. Besides, her small body looks severely malnourished. I’m afraid she can’t even chop firewood!
So he quietly walked to the waiter's donkey and started chopping wood. This kind of rough work should be done by himself for the little girl. As for how to stew chicken soup? He really didn't know how, so he could only let the little girl do it herself.
I just bought some wild ginseng and some multi-grain cakes. I have been busy all day and haven't eaten yet. After I chop the firewood and feed the soup, it's time to eat something with the little girl. Otherwise, if I fall down again, both my lady and this little girl will probably be in big trouble.
If they don't have someone to take care of them, how can two weak women survive? After all, the world is much more turbulent now than before!
Xiaoyu cleaned the black chicken with swift hands and feet, then took out a small knife of her own and washed it carefully before taking out the precious wild ginseng.
I was very careful when I started, for fear of cutting the ginseng badly. I stopped after cutting it into three slices of even thickness. After all, the wild ginseng didn't look very big and was so thin. If I cut it a few more times, it would be used up in a moment.
My hands were shaking when I was cutting it. This is ten taels of silver! ! ! !
When I sold myself, I got more than ten taels of silver. I am really a living person, which is not as valuable as such a precious thing.
Although I couldn't express my sadness, I didn't shed any tears. I could only feel sad silently in my heart.
But his movements did not slow down at all. This time, Xiao had developed his agility under the whip. When he was sold to those human traffickers in the past, if he was not agile while working, it would be easy for the whip to hit his flesh.
When the whip comes down, your skin will be torn and blood will flow out, and it will be burning hot, but those human traffickers will not let you stop to rest. They will make you work endlessly, and they will even dip the whip in salt water and whip you again.
That kind of life is really like a devil. Just thinking about it makes me feel very painful. Although I need to hide from the young lady every day now, at least I don’t have to live the life of being whipped like before.
So I was more attentive when taking care of the young lady and when stewing the soup.
I have to say that the soup cooked in a clay pot is really delicious. You can smell the aroma even before it is frozen. After Xiaoyu smelled the aroma and was swallowing her saliva, she saw Brother Ma coming and couldn't help but blushing.
The elder brother saw the little girl drooling over the earthenware jar, but he knew that it was the lady's food and he couldn't give it to her, so he could only give her the whole grain cake in his hand.
"Hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach. You've been busy all day, you must be hungry. The master is still lying in bed and needs your care. You must not starve yourself or you will collapse. Then not only will no one be able to serve the master, but no one will be able to take care of you either."
Xiaoyu understood this, so she quickly ate the multi-grain pancake. When she was extremely hungry, she would drink a sip of water to help it go down to avoid choking.
