Chapter 182 Rich!
It was three days later when the news from the county town reached the narrow village.
In the past few days, Chen Chunxing has been practicing his pancake-making skills at home and has not left the village.
Because the news spread too quickly, it was brought back by villagers who went to the nearby market to sell pickles.
In fact, she had already guessed it from Liu Sanlang's description, so she was not surprised.
Doctor Chang was a little anxious, fearing that Mrs. Chen would come and settle the score!
But no matter how much we waited, we still didn't see any movement from him.
He was extremely puzzled and thought to himself that the symptoms on Mrs. Chen's face should have disappeared by now.
The other party neither comes to ask for medicine nor causes trouble. What is the meaning?
"The Jichang Pharmacy was shut down for selling counterfeit medicine, and all the itinerant doctors in the county town had long been expelled. Even if she had any suspicions in such a short time, who could she go to for treatment?
It’s hard to say, and I have to wonder if there’s something wrong with the medicinal herbs I bought before... Even if I can’t see any symptoms, I’m afraid I’ll still feel uneasy.
She might even suspect that she is terminally ill and has just had a moment of recovery... Let her speculate on that."
The little girl deftly took out a square pancake, cracked an egg into it, put some freshly-fried crispy crackers on it, and added a few slices of bacon.
Then roll it up and wrap it with large clean bamboo leaves.
Just as Doctor Chang was about to reach out to take it, he saw her take a bite with considerable satisfaction.
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard, "Isn't it my turn next?"
Chen Chunxing said confidently: "If we don't fill the cook's stomach first, how can he have the energy to work?"
Next to them, a few kids each held a pancake, smacking the pancakes and trying to get closer to the doctor.
So mean!
Doctor Chang flicked his sleeves and ran into the house to get the ruler instead of leaving.
"Come on, let me see if anyone else has mistaken the herbs today!"
The children immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Su ranran followed behind happily, and she would sweetly call "little brother" to whoever had some cake left in his hand.
This kid is completely ruined after arriving in the narrow village.
I've fished in the river, rolled in the mud, and watched an old cow poop with my friends...
I’m so happy!
About two days later, everything was almost ready, and Chen Chunxing prepared to go to the city.
Su Runrun twisted her body and refused to get in the car. She bent down and hid in Yang Yi's house.
Ah Jiu, who was sitting on the bed getting dressed, said: "..."
I watched her crawl into her own bed.
The little face, which usually looked a little shy, was chapped.
Seeing Lin Popo approaching with his eyes shining, Chen Chunxing quickly waved his hand: "Stop it, those two kids together are less than twenty! Don't you feel guilty?"
Lin Popo lowered his head in shame. After a moment, he raised his hands to his hips and said confidently, "You almost got me into trouble! I didn't mean to do that!"
Chen Chunxing said nothing and looked at her with suspicion.
"I came here to ask you to go into the city with me and see what kind of jewelry there is.
As your sister, I used to be a hairpin maker, so it’s not a problem for me to make a few sets of hair ornaments for you.
Everything in the village is good, except the girls' utensils, they're too rustic!"
Limpopo raised his swan neck and chin high, looking both proud and disgusted.
Chen Chunxing said "Oh" and looked at her with a look that said "I understand, I understand".
Actually, it’s just too boring.
There are few girls in the village and they are too young, leaving no room for Limpopo to show his talents.
The girls' classes cannot be supported for a while, so it would be good if they could generate some income for the village.
"Then let's go to the city and buy more materials. Do you know how to embroider? If you can, you can buy some. We have money now!" Chen Chunxing took the responsibility.
I just got a thousand taels of silver, but I don’t know how to spend it. It’s so frustrating!
“…” Lin Popo touched his chin in confusion. Why was his sister’s nose higher than his?
——
Load the ingredients into the truck and take the special iron stove and frying pan.
Yang Yi pulled the mule cart out of the yard.
"Is there anyone else going into town?"
Lao Wang wants to cook, Lao Niu follows him, and Lao Song concentrates on making glass.
The three national treasures ignored her and slurped their noodles.
Shen Mingqiu wanted to follow, but was tripped up by Xiao Lao Si and Wu Qing.
He felt aggrieved. "There are already teachers in the village, why do I have to teach them?"
Chen Chunxing squinted his eyes and patted Wu Qing's thin shoulders. "Given your status, is it appropriate for you not to teach him?"
Wu Qing blinked blankly.
"I don't have any problem with him. Look at the calligraphy our little fourth brother practiced yesterday... Sister, just say your eyes hurt?" Shen Mingqiu was very sad and angry.
“…”
Looking at those extremely abstract ghostly drawings, Chen Chunxing's eyes twitched.
It really hurts.
She hurried into the carriage and said, "Since no one is going, we'll leave first."
When the mule cart arrived at the entrance of the village, it was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Miss Chen!" The man who had been squatting there waiting for a long time smiled.
Chen Chunxing lifted the curtain and recognized him immediately.
This person had previously shown a leadership position in the bandit group, and it was always him who talked to him.
"You didn't go to the county town with Lord Xue?" Chen Chunxing was a little surprised.
"No, no, the ones picked for Master Xue are all top-notch warriors. I, with my thin arms and legs, should not delay the important work."
This sounds strange.
Building a city wall is just physical work, why do we need warriors?
Chen Chunxing looked him up and down, thinking about his recent honesty, and asked politely, "What's your name?"
The man replied, "My last name is Qian, Qian Jiuwei! Girl, just call me Old Qian!"
Chen Chunxing nodded slightly, glanced around, and said with a smile: "You are waiting for me here, but what's the urgent matter?"
"To answer the question, young lady! I want to go into the city and find some suitable tools... To be honest, the iron mine in the back mountain is really difficult to dig." Qian Jiuwei's face was bitter.
These days, in addition to repairing houses and reclaiming wasteland, the bandits are most focused on mining.
But as I dug, I found that it was not an easy task!
"I estimate that the mine is under the mountain and the stream. If we want to open up the mountain and fill the river, I'm afraid we can't do it right now. If we really want to mine, we have to spend more time and find a way around it."
Chen Chunxing was no exception, and Old Song said the same thing to her.
However, the two old men were lazy and didn't want to spend more time, so they secretly studied gunpowder...
But this has nothing to do with Qian Jiuwei.
Chen Chunxing just assumed that what he said was true, and did not bother to investigate further, and gestured for him to get in the car.
Qian Jiuwei refused to get into the carriage and sat next to Yang Yi, half of his buttocks touching his, as if he would be thrown off at any time.
Just after going a short distance out of the village, the mule cart was stopped again.
"Excuse me, brother, is this from the Shen family?"
The voice of the person asking the question sounded unfamiliar. Chen Chunxing lifted the curtain in confusion and found that the person standing outside was indeed someone he had never seen before.
"Who are you?"
The man was wearing the common clothes of a farmer. He had a square face, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. He had the kind of handsome appearance that women loved most.
Only the butcher knife hanging on his waist destroyed his gentle temperament.
