Deer antler is highly sought after because it has strong yang-tonifying properties and can strengthen muscles and bones. Any medicinal material or raw material with such effects is precious.
Perhaps it's because the ultimate pursuit in life, especially for men, is to become stronger.
Many medicines and health products based on deer antler have become very popular in later generations.
Supply cannot meet demand.
It's just that the real things are gradually becoming less and less.
Even if many of them do contain some deer antler, the amount is so small as to be almost negligible.
Just like many beef noodle soups that are called beef noodle soup, but you don't see any beef in them.
It's just a gimmick.
Not honest at all.
That's a different matter altogether.
Wang Tianxiao came to the kitchen and saw his wife busy washing vegetables. There was a whole board of cabbages on the cutting board next to her, at least twenty of them.
"Is this for kimchi?"
Li Yali wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. Although it was winter, she was dressed warmly and busy working, so sweat was seeping out from her forehead.
"Well, I bought a truckload of cabbage a couple of days ago. I was thinking we probably couldn't finish it all. But since you all like kimchi and pickled vegetables, I'll make some extra for everyone."
"Yes, I really like it. I was thinking of making it even though you weren't making it. Let's just buy a few more big vats so we can pickle all sorts of vegetables, like carrots, radishes, peppers, green tomatoes, and cabbage. Basically, any vegetable can be pickled."
"I'll make whatever you want to eat. But I need to ask you to do me a favor."
"Oh, just give me your orders."
"As I said, since we need so much kimchi, we'll definitely need a lot of jars. The few jars I prepared earlier are obviously not enough. Also, you'll need to buy a bucket of vinegar, some chili peppers, and oh yes, some jars."
What is the jar for?
"Pickling vegetables? You're not thinking of using a jar to pickle vegetables, are you?"
"Why not? There are so many people at our station, and we need to eat at least one meal a day. Where do we get so many fresh vegetables in winter? And even if we buy vegetables, they won't keep well; they'll either rot or freeze. If we pickled them, wouldn't that be much better?"
"I see..."
Li Yali stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, and said, "That's fine too. Here's what you do: go to the city and buy some vegetables wholesale, and while you're at it, send some chicken soup to Brother Qiancai. I made it this morning and put it in a thermos. I was just about to tell you that, but I almost forgot because I saw you cutting deer antlers and I was so busy."
"Okay, I was just saying I'd go check it out while I was at it."
"Remember to buy some nutritional supplements for him to take with him. Brother Qiancai has had a tough time. He got hurt because of you. We can't let him get hurt for nothing."
"Okay, okay, I know. You don't trust your man? When have I ever been the kind of person who doesn't care about feelings?"
"Pfft," Li Yali laughed, "That's good. I was just afraid you'd forget. You're such a busy person, you never have a moment to relax when you go to the city."
"Okay, I'll go now, alright?"
As Wang Tianxiao spoke, he went outside and pushed his motorcycle out.
"Hey, put on your knee pads. It's so cold, you don't want to get arthritis from the cold wind."
"I was just about to put it on."
"I'm off to get busy now. Oh, and remember to visit Brother Qiancai first. If you go too late, the chicken soup will get cold. This thermos can only keep the soup warm for half a day."
"Okay, I got it. You're really thoughtful."
"Go on, be careful on the road." Li Yali smiled, indicating that Wang Tianxiao could leave.
Wang Tianxiao then placed the thermos in the storage box at the back of the car, making sure to stuff it tightly to prevent it from falling over.
Then I rode my bike down the mountain.
Because the weather was nice today, and we happened to be passing through Dongyuan Town, which was having a market day, farmers selling agricultural products and various vendors had their goods displayed on both sides of the road.
The provincial highway already has large trucks traveling north and south. With the sides of the road blocked, only the middle two lanes remain, which are just enough for vehicles to pass from both sides. Cars are fine, but it is very difficult for large trucks. So they basically take one step and stop three times, and can't get through for a long time.
Wang Tianxiao waited for a while, but found that the road ahead was too congested, so he took a side road and went around in a big circle, bypassing all the streets of Dongyuan Town before returning to the provincial highway.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was already past 11 a.m.
He originally wanted to ask which ward it was, but as soon as he arrived at the hospital entrance, he saw Wu Qiancai's wife, Gao Huanhuan, carrying a thermal lunchbox out. She immediately went to greet Wang Tianxiao.
"Boss, what brings you here?"
Gao Huanhuan is a reasonable person. Wu Qiancai was injured when he went out with Wang Tianxiao. Wang Tianxiao was originally very ashamed and didn't know how to explain it to him. He went out fine and came back covered in blood.
Unexpectedly, Gao Huanhuan was very understanding and did not blame Wang Tianxiao at all.
They said that during their year at the depot, they had received great care from the boss, knew he was a good person, and had always been thinking about how to repay him. Besides, Dahei and Xiaohei were dogs that everyone at the depot had spent every day with, and everyone felt bad because Wang Tianxiao was sad.
It was originally Wu Qiancai's idea to avenge Dahei.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I'm going out to buy some food for my husband. He can't eat anything right now, his mouth feels so bland. I'll see where they sell soup outside and bring some back for him."
"No need, no need, look at this, what is it?"
