Chapter 1325 Delicious
San Ya was ordered to find her aunt. When she was brought into the house by the servants of the Bai family, she happened to see the three of them yawning together.
Manbao had just finished yawning, tears still welling up in the corners of his eyes. He looked up and saw her and asked, "San Ya, why are you here?"
She trotted forward and said, "Grandma asked me to call my aunt back for breakfast."
Having breakfast is fake, seeing people is real.
Manbao never lacked food in the village, especially when he was at the Bai family. He used to eat three meals a day at the Bai family.
Manbao turned her head to look at Bai Dalang's face and thought that he was okay. He probably wouldn't want to go to the toilet in the short term. She stood up and said, "Okay, I just need to go back and wash up."
And since all the needles have been used up, they need to be boiled.
Bai Shan also glanced at Bai Dalang and stood up as well, "I'm going back too. I'll come to see my cousin later."
Bai Erlang also stood up, yawning and slapping his lips. After a while, he said, "It's dawn. I'm going back to sleep. Big brother, if you have anything, just call mom and dad."
The three of them just dispersed.
Bai Dalang: ...
When Manbao was carrying the medicine box out, he happened to meet Mr. and Mrs. Bai coming over. Manbao casually reminded them, "Only eat white porridge, nothing else. Don't get cold. Don't put too many braziers by the bed, just one will be enough. He's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, his yin and yang are out of balance, and the poison is in his intestines and blood. It will take some time to cure."
He added, "I'm going home to sleep first. Call me if you need anything."
Mr. Bai said quickly, "I'll have my servants take you back."
Manbao: "...No need, there's just a river between us."
It's not late at night, it's broad daylight now. Do you need someone to accompany you for a walk?
Manbao walked away yawning.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also went back to their own rooms. The rooms were in a mess. The quilts on the wooden couch, the shelves on the brazier, and even the medicine stove were thrown everywhere.
The servants quickly packed up everything, and Bai Dalang's followers stood aside and reported what happened last night.
Everything was reported clearly, including how many times Bai Dalang got up at night, how many times he took medicine, and how many times Miss Man had acupuncture.
In fact, he had been staying in the ear room last night to listen to orders, but the three young masters only remembered to ask him when they wanted steamed buns and water, and otherwise forgot about him. So he could only stay in the ear room and listen to the movements with his ears perked up.
Mr. Bai nodded, turned to Mrs. Bai and said, "Ask the kitchen to make some more delicious food at noon. Manbao will definitely come over by then."
Mrs. Bai agreed, "Shall I ask the kitchen to make some more snacks that they like?"
Mr. Bai waved his hand and said, "Just make the decision."
He went into the inner room to see Bai Dalang.
Manbao carried the medicine box all the way home. On the way, she met many villagers who were out for a walk. Manbao greeted them one by one. So, when she returned home, half of the village knew that the eldest son of the Bai family had a stomachache and had been in trouble all night last night.
As soon as Manbao returned home, Qian Shi saw how exhausted she looked and swallowed her words. She only asked, "How is Young Master Bai?"
Manbao put down the medicine box and gave the needle to his sister-in-law to boil and wash. He yawned and said, "It's dysentery, quite serious. It looks okay now, it should be curable."
Qian heaved a sigh of relief, "That's really the blessing of God."
Dysentery is a serious disease and can be fatal.
Xiao Qian asked, "Would you like to eat something?"
Manbao shook his head. "I just baked a big white steamed bun at midnight. I'm not hungry at all now. Sister-in-law, I want to take a nap first."
"Then go back to sleep. I'll ask San Ya to bring you a basin of hot water. Wash up first before going to bed. That way you'll be more comfortable."
Manbao also felt that it would be much more comfortable to wash his face and comb his hair before going to bed, so he agreed.
San Ya brought some water to Man Bao and stood aside to look at her. "Auntie, what is dysentery?"
Man Bao washed up while saying, "It's a disease. I have intermittent abdominal pain, tenesmus, a slippery and rapid pulse, a yellow and greasy tongue coating, and red and white diarrhea..."
She wrung the towel and hung it on the rack, then said to San Ya, "When this disease is mild, it's not bad. The treatment may be slow, but most people can recover. If it's serious, it may kill the person in just a few days."
Sanya was shocked, "Is it that serious?"
Manbao nodded, she lay down on the bed, waved to Sanya and said, "Please help me close the door when you go out."
San Ya looked at the books on the bookshelf in Man Bao's room. These books were all brought back from the capital this time. She asked softly, "Auntie, can I read a different book?"
Manbao yawned, half of his head tucked into the quilt, and replied vaguely, "Go get any book you want to read."
San Ya started searching on the bookshelf.
Manbao slept until noon, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed. Seeing him, Xiao Qian smiled slightly, washed her hands, and asked, "I made sauerkraut with mutton and dried bamboo shoots this morning. How about making you sauerkraut noodles?"
Manbao nodded repeatedly and squatted in the kitchen to light the fire and cook noodles for her.
The sauerkraut had obviously just been made; it was still warm, and waves of fragrance wafted out from the basin. Seeing that she was drooling with greed, Xiao Qian picked up a piece of lamb and stuffed it into her mouth, asking with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
Manbao gave a thumbs up, his eyes sparkling, "It's delicious, my sister-in-law makes the best."
Little Qian smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. This臊子 is specially made for you."
Xiao Qianshi put the washed vegetables in boiling water and then put them in. After they were cooked, she took them out and put them in a large bowl. She scooped two large spoonfuls of臊子 into it and asked Manbao to mix it before eating.
Manbao didn't go out either. He moved a chair in front of him, put the bowl on the chair and ate in front of the stove.
Xiao Qian took out the charcoal from the stove to warm herself up, then casually grabbed a basket of beans and began to peel them. "This morning, your eldest brother went to your fourth sister-in-law's house in Dali Village and bought a large piece of mutton. I chopped it up for the sauce, and I stewed some with some spices. Tonight, I'll fish some out, chop it up, and stir-fry it with the beans. It'll be delicious too."
Manbao nodded vigorously while eating noodles.
The food in Beijing is also delicious, but among all the delicious food outside, it is still not as delicious as my sister-in-law’s cooking.
Seeing that she was eating with relish, Xiao Qian couldn't help but smile.
Manbao picked out the bamboo shoots from the sauerkraut and ate them. He said, "Bamboo shoots are delicious. Sister-in-law, can we harvest more tender bamboo shoots and dry them next year?"
Xiao Qian agreed with a smile, saying, "Besides drying them in the sun, you can also store them in jars. I've tried it, and jar-stored bamboo shoots aren't as delicious when stir-fried as fresh ones, but they're more flavorful when used to make sauerkraut. And unlike dried ones, they're still very crisp. I don't know how long they can be stored. I used up the ones I stored in April and May a while ago because I was afraid they would go bad. Otherwise, I could have saved some for you."
