When Tian Cai arrived home, Mimi was actually at home. The little guy was squatting in the yard in the cold weather. Only when he saw her come back did he happily call over to rub against her.
The process of soaking deer whip is rather troublesome. The water needs to be changed every two hours, and it has to be warm water that is almost the same as human body temperature. Last night, Tian Cai got up every once in a while to change the water and didn't sleep well.
Fortunately, it only needed to be soaked for one day. She had to find someone to help her when she went to the county. She had planned to give it to Qu Ting, but when the girl saw that the job was to change the water in the deer penis, she blushed and hid back, and refused to touch it no matter what. There was no choice but to trouble Liu Yanqing and her brother.
"Are you back?" Liu Yanqing knew Tian Cai was back when she heard Mimi's cry. She had just changed the water for the deer whip for the last time.
Tian Cai was in a good mood as she was about to admit a new patient. She chuckled and said, "Today I'm going to treat you to barbecued pork ribs! I'll let you try my exclusive secret sauce. It's delicious."
Before Liu Yanqing could say anything, Liu Yanlin jumped up with joy and said, "I'll go build the scaffolding."
Liu Yanqing was helpless and could only think about how to repay this favor in the future.
Tian Cai went back to the house, put away his shoulder bag, and opened the cloth bag in his hand. The bag contained half a rack of ribs with a lot of meat on it.
This was the food Qian Liming asked a friend to reserve at the slaughterhouse. No tickets were required, and it was enough for her to eat for several days.
Tian Cai sent the meat to the kitchen and gave it to Liu Yanqing to clean. She then went to prepare the seasoning for the barbecue. The ingredients were all randomly matched, just soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, and some green onions, ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell. Then she would brush it on the pork ribs cut into strips, brush it again every once in a while, marinate it for half an hour and then grill it.
When it’s about to be served, sprinkle some secret barbecue ingredients on it. You can definitely smell the smell from far away.
Tian Cai: "Put some bamboo sticks on them so we can skewer the meat later."
Liu Yanlin started working immediately. He was a natural at this. He took a piece of bamboo and split it with a hatchet. He sharpened it until it was almost chopped. He was clumsy at first, but soon he became proficient and cut the bamboo very quickly. In a short while, he had made a small handful.
Afraid that eating too much meat would cause stomach upset, Tian Cai took potatoes from the cellar and several kinds of small green vegetables grown in the wooden box in the inner room. She put all the vegetables that could be roasted and those that could not be roasted together. After thinking about it, she went into the house and brought out a bowl of sauce so that the vegetables that could not be roasted could be dipped in the sauce.
Thinking that there was no staple food, I simply took out a few steamed buns from the cupboard, cut them into slices, put them on bamboo skewers and grilled them.
While several people were busy preparing food, Mr. Qian also returned to the county party committee compound.
Before this, he specifically asked Qian Liming's wife to buy some fashionable clothes according to Tian Cai's size. In order to avoid any accidents, he also instructed the style and fabric of the clothes to make sure that they were in line with his granddaughter's origin and family conditions.
These clothes will be temporarily kept at the Qian family. Tomorrow, Tian Cai needs to go there to change clothes before going to the county party committee compound.
He had been thinking about contacting people outside these two days. At first, he wanted to transfer a doctor from another place. With his status as an old leader, he had the ability to transfer a doctor.
But after calling, I could only contact a few doctors. One of them had recently broken his leg and couldn't leave the house, another had a serious illness some time ago and had passed away, and another was not known for his acupuncture skills.
As soon as he heard that I was coming for acupuncture, he refused repeatedly.
Old Master Qian sighed deeply and was more inclined to ask Tian Cai for help. Although the girl was young, she looked very calm, and he had personal experience in acupuncture, which was really good. If his grandson had something to ask of his old leader, he would not just find someone to fool him.
Old Mr. Qian introduced Tian Cai's situation to his old leader. Before the old leader could say anything, his eldest son jumped out to object.
"No! I can't trust such a young girl. If she stabs me again, my dad won't be able to handle it!"
"That's right, that girl is only eighteen years old. Even if she has been learning medicine since her mother's womb, she has only studied for more than ten years. She can't compare with the old Chinese medicine practitioners. I don't feel comfortable leaving my dad to such a person!"
"If you ask me, there's no need to consult a Chinese doctor. Western medicine is the mainstream now. Not only is it effective quickly, but the results are immediate, unlike Chinese medicine which is so slow!"
"That's right, Uncle Qian, my dad has known you for so many years. You can't just pick anyone and give him acupuncture. If something unexpected happens, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Listening to his son and daughter-in-law's increasingly outrageous words, Commander Yu immediately shouted, "Shut up! If you can speak, then speak. If you can't, then stop talking nonsense. You're all not young anymore, are you living like dogs?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the two daughters-in-law. This was the first time that their father-in-law spoke of them like this in front of outsiders. Both of them felt ashamed, but they could only lower their heads and listen obediently, not daring to show any displeasure.
The two sons of the Yu family showed no sign of anger. Their father had always had a bad temper. He only started to pay attention to health preservation as he got older. He would occasionally control his temper, and when he couldn't control it, he would curse. If it were in the past, he would have picked up a stick and hit him.
After scolding his son and daughter-in-law, Master Yu turned to look at Mr. Qian and said, "Mr. Qian, the younger generation in the family can't speak, you..."
Old Master Qian waved his hand. They had been friends for so many years, how could he not know what was going on in the Yu family?
Commander Yu let out the anger in his chest, and then he continued to talk to Mr. Qian, "Since you can recommend this girl, she must have something extraordinary. Please explain my situation to her clearly. If there is no problem, let's get started quickly. I've been lying on the bed for a long time!"
This back injury recurs almost every year. He has seen both Chinese and Western medicine, but there has been no improvement. At most, it can temporarily relieve the pain. However, the dosage of painkillers has increased over time. An old military doctor he is familiar with told him that long-term use of painkillers is also very harmful. Once you become dependent on it, it will be impossible to cure it. He asked him to find an old doctor with good acupuncture skills to treat him for a while, and maybe it would be helpful.
Although Commander Yu was not young, he was not a stubborn old man. He still had great faith in traditional Chinese medicine. After arriving in Huangxian, he was recommended by someone to invite Doctor Hong Siqing for treatment. After more than a week of acupuncture, the condition did improve, but Doctor Hong was sent to the farm and there was no one else to help him.
For more than a month, he had difficulty even sitting down, let alone standing up. He had defecated on the bed several times. When he thought about having to live like this in the future, he really wanted to shoot himself and die.
Old Master Qian stood up and said, "Then I'll arrange for her to come for acupuncture as soon as possible. Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Let's see the effect first."
"Okay, you do it."
Mr. Qian had long guessed that the old leader would agree. He had already made an appointment with Tian Cai today to come for acupuncture tomorrow. Now he could go about preparing things without any worries.
