Liu Yunniang looked at Huang Ergou, and the whole process from her initial nervousness, to her confusion, to her final amazement and excitement only took a cup of tea.
"Qingluan, how did you make this knot? Can you teach me?" She seemed very eager to try.
Su Qingluan simply nodded: "Of course you can, but I only know two, and I'm not very skilled. I have to check whether the knot is correct while I try it."
"By the way, why did I always cut off the fried eggplant box last time..."
"You can prevent cutting the eggplant by putting two chopsticks together under it."
"besides……"
The two girls were chatting happily, while Huang Ergou was in a very miserable situation and could only copy the books honestly.
Su Qingluan would occasionally walk over to check on him and remind him not to write so sloppily.
"Anyway, if the handwriting is too ugly and unrecognizable, you will be the one who suffers." Su Qingluan said with a half-smile, "You need to read this paper carefully and memorize it. Of course, you don't want to know the consequences of not being able to memorize it."
"You, do you still have any law?" Huang Ergou, who was now thirsty and hungry, and was forced to "do hard labor" to copy a long article, couldn't help but slammed the brush on the table and asked back in frustration.
Su Qingluan: ...
Liu Yunniang: ...
The two exchanged glances again, and thought at the same time: Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
Su Qingluan's mouth twitched. "No, you're a charlatan who's been scamming people everywhere. There's a bounty on your head in Liangzhou City, and you're asking us if there's any law?"
Huang Ergou suddenly realized that his question lacked a certain level of intelligence, so he began to bargain: "No matter what you ask me to do, you have to give me food and water, right? And I need to go to the toilet!"
Su Qingluan's choice was to ignore him, but this man was so troublesome that it was difficult to guarantee that he would always cooperate with her plan.
After thinking for a while, Su Qingluan whispered to Liu Yunniang's ear: "Wait for me, I'll go back to the village."
"What are you going back for?"
"Think of a way to make that guy in the house completely quiet down."
Huaxi Village, Mu Xing’s home.
"Prepare pills?" Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan with some curiosity.
"Yes," Su Qingluan nodded, "It's the kind of pills that cause heart palpitations and abdominal pain, and there are also corresponding relief drugs. It's best to make them into pills."
Mu Xingzhi looked Su Qingluan up and down: "Why are you making these medicines?"
Su Qingluan didn't hide it: "One is for poison, the other is for antidote."
Mu Xingzhi's smile was still as gentle as spring breeze: "Why not just use poison, wouldn't that be better?"
Su Qingluan's mouth twitched: Was it her illusion? As the time they spent together grew, Mu Xingzhi became less and less willing to hide his "brutal" side. For example, right now, if you only looked at the expression on his face, he looked like some elegant young man from a troubled family!
Who could have imagined that this man was talking about such brutal things as "murder and arson on a dark and windy night" with a face that looked as if he was talking about "a bright moon rising over the sea"?
After a moment, Su Qingluan found her voice again: "...I just want to scare people, not kill people."
"Qingluan is still too soft-hearted. If you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences..."
Having said that, Mu Xingzhi still took a pen and paper and wrote down a few medicines.
"Qingluan is a great cook. Now that she has the prescription, she naturally knows how to make pills," Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan teasingly as she snatched the prescription, made an exaggerated face at him, and turned away.
At this time, Song Bo watched Su Qingluan leave in a flash, then lowered his head and asked Mu Xingzhi: "Boss, have you made up your mind?"
Mu Xingzhi looked at the lines on his palm, then after a moment slowly closed his hands: "The layout is almost done, now I have to go back and slowly reel in the threads."
"But Mu Xingzhi has been bedridden for many years. There's really no reason for him to travel so far so suddenly..." Song Bo said with some concern.
"If you go south with your family, wouldn't that be a natural progression?" Mu Xingzhi looked at Song Bo meaningfully. "After all, the climate in the south is more pleasant than here, and recuperating there is also a good choice."
"What does the boss mean?"
"If my wife wants to move to another place, I have no choice but to follow her, right? After all, 'Mu Xingzhi' is weak and bedridden. I can't afford the medical expenses myself, so I have to act according to my wife's mood. What's wrong with that?" Mu Xingzhi said, looking in the direction Su Qingluan left.
"You mean... Madam Su?" Song Bo was stunned. "That young lady is indeed a good candidate, but... she doesn't seem to have any intention of getting married?"
In Song Bo's opinion, Su Qingluan was only interested in making money and cooking, and had no other interests, which made her seem out of place among teenage girls.
As for the matter of "getting married", compared to other young ladies who showed shyness, anticipation or uneasiness when talking about this matter, Song Bo felt that Su Qingluan only thought that it was a "necessary procedure to prevent people from gossiping". Apart from shutting others up, it was an insignificant matter in her opinion.
Mu Xingzhi shook his head: "If she was interested in marriage, I wouldn't have chosen her..."
Su Qingluan didn't know that the conversation between Mu Xingzhi and his followers was directed at her. She went to the pharmacy to get the medicine according to the prescription written by Mu Xingzhi.
But what puzzled her was that Mu Xingzhi also wrote a few lines of small words on the left, explaining what diseases some of the medicines could be used to treat and what diseases the remaining medicines could be used to treat.
At first, Su Qingluan didn't understand the purpose of his writing these two lines until she went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
Because this was not a prescription written according to the main, secondary, auxiliary and guiding ingredients, but a loose medicine, the store owner also kindly asked what I wanted to use.
Only then did Su Qingluan realize that Mu Xingzhi was a man of foresight - no, it should be said that he always seemed to have a different mind from others, and he could consider everything in advance.
Su Qingluan followed the instructions and got the medicine without arousing any suspicion. Then she returned to Liu Yunniang's house and started making pills.
As she rubbed the pot, Su Qingluan muttered, "I'm so kind! I have to mix honey with this 'poison'. It's really a huge investment!"
Considering that she didn't know when the plan could be implemented, Su Qingluan first rolled five of each pill and marked them on the oil paper wrapping them. Anyway, there was still a lot of "raw materials", so she could just make more later.
"What is this?" Liu Yunniang asked curiously.
"It's just for scaring people. You just watch later." Su Qingluan smiled as she wrapped up the last pill. Then she took out the first pill she had rolled and looked at the curious Liu Yunniang. "So, do you want to watch the show?"
Liu Yunniang nodded when she heard this and followed with great interest.
