Chapter 20

Dare not, sensing Shen Qingrou's unfriendly gaze, Li Erya lowered her head and entered the kitchen, but the kitchen was a forbidden area for Shen Muyin, so he did not follow in.

But Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingrou walked in very quickly, but they didn't say anything, they were all preparing for dinner.

The Shen family's taste is sweet, and they can't wait to put some sugar in the cooking and soup. The family has limited conditions, so they can only restrain and restrain, and they are worried that her shaking hands will waste sugar, so they rush to cook.

She is not picky, and the sweetness is acceptable at the moment, so she will not compete with them. In the kitchen, she also does some work of washing and cutting vegetables, and if necessary, she cooks a dish or makes a soup by herself.

Today there is no room for her to perform, so she is obediently washing the vegetables, while Shen Qingrou is lighting the fire, and Mrs. Shen is naturally the cook.

Originally they lived in peace, but Shen Qingrou just didn't like her, and used her picking vegetables as an issue, saying that she picked the vegetables too short, they didn't look good, even worse than pig food.

"You come to make gestures." Li Erya gave up her position.

"Just do it a little better next time." Shen Qingrou curled her lips, not listening to her, and the water was so cold, she would suffer if she soaked too much.

Li Erya rolled her eyes and squatted back again.

As Shen Qingrou's mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen rarely said that Shen Qingrou was wrong in front of her, and this time was no exception, she kept her mouth shut with a preoccupied look.

In fact, her health has improved a lot. Su Yue also said that as long as she let go of her mind, it is not a problem to live to sixty or seventy, but it is a pity that entanglement is harmful.

Meeting disobedient patients is really a headache. She chose Chinese medicine because she had seen too many disobedient patients.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen's most entangled thing is probably her own existence, but her natal family can't go back, and there is no room here, she can't help this, at least at this moment.

In the study, Shen Nanzhou was talking to his two sons about the county examination.

As an observer, Shen Muyin found an opportunity to interject after a while, expressing that he also wanted to take the county examination.

"Nonsense." Shen Nanzhou's face darkened, "Even if you are talented and intelligent, you must not be arrogant and conceited in the small county test, and wait."

Shen Muyin was taken aback, his father and elder brother insisted on going to the county exam next year, he just thought that starting together might prevent the tragedy from happening, he definitely did not have any arrogance.

He had no choice but to say that he wanted to see what was missing.

"It's the same when your brother comes back to test you." Shen Nanzhou looked at his younger son and added, "You are still young, even if you pass the exam by luck, there is still a long way to go, and the foundation is not stable. , not enough experience, the road ahead will be difficult.”

Having said so much, Shen Muyin could only nod in response.

As a compensation, Shen Nanzhou also stepped up tutoring for the two of them.

Li Erya was relatively relaxed, without Shen Muyin staring at her from time to time, the air was sweet.

Although she still has to go to school when it's time to go to school, Shen Nanzhou is not strict with her, as long as she can read and write.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the school are very nervous, and she doesn't want to take up the precious things, so she writes and draws on the ground with a fire stick in her spare time.

At this time, Shen Qingrou was probably the most proud, because she could point out Jiangshan and say that her handwriting was crooked, Li Erya was not ashamed or annoyed, and wrote the last stroke calmly.

As soon as Li Erya looked up, she found a carriage coming outside the door. It was Huang Xingding and the others who came, so she walked out happily, "You guys are here."

"Something happened on the way, so I was delayed." Huang Xingding said embarrassedly, and then introduced his housekeeper to her.

Seeing Shen Nanzhou, his father and his son, Huang Xingding could only leave her and chat with them.

Shen Nanzhou didn't know much about the medicinal materials, so he could only discuss with Li Erya, but they couldn't be allowed to be alone in the same room.

Being stared at by them, Li Erya could only talk about the main points.

The medicinal materials I have on hand are only about [-] catties. According to the previous price, it is estimated that I can exchange them for about [-] Wen. The money I exchanged last time is only [-] Wen in addition to handing in and buying the medicine hoe.

This time, after selling the herbs, she wanted him to discuss with Lizheng about planting some ginseng. Undergrowth ginseng was not as valuable as wild ginseng, so it was an income, and she wanted to plant it too, so she had to ask him about the seeds.

"No problem." Huang Xingding promised, patting his chest.

After finishing the business, Huang Xingding took out a purse and handed it to Shen Nanzhou after a moment of hesitation. This was the reward they got for selling Fang Zi who made the soup with chicken bones and grass.

Although it was a very simple recipe, it was enough to bring the restaurant back to life. The shopkeeper bought most of the supply and gave them an extra sum of money.

Huang Xingye felt that they shouldn't take the money, so he asked Huang Xingding to give it to Li Erya.

Naturally, it was not her turn to get the money, so Huang Xingding had to give it to Shen Nanzhou.

Shen Nanzhou still had a sense of proportion and let Li Erya take the money.

Li Erya weighed it, and returned the money. She didn't have any credit for it, so the money was only fifty-five cents, and she could let him exchange the ginseng seeds for her share.

"all?"

"All."

"Row."

Huang Xingding had the cheek to spend another night at Shen's house, but this time he didn't dare to disturb them too much, so he made do with the whole night in the school.

In the early morning of the next day, Huang Xingding once again had the cheek to borrow Li Erya to use it. This was discussed with the housekeeper, because the medicinal materials she said were too common and the quantity was quite large, so he wanted to secretly ask her if she had any. Way to sell.

Li Erya lowered her head silently, waiting for Shen Nanzhou to speak.

"Go, go and come back quickly." Shen Nanzhou glanced at her, and finally agreed.

"Father?" This time it was Shen Muyin's turn to be uneasy.

"Have you finished your homework?" Shen Nanzhou glanced at him, turned and left.

Seeing that the others were silent, Shen Muyin could only accept the fact.

Luo Gui'an, who came to report to the school, learned that Huang Xingding was coming, and wished he could be the first to go back and report the news, but was followed by Shen Nanzhou, so he could only walk into the school obediently.

After leaving the Shen family, there was no Shen family watching, so Li Erya walked with a leash.

"You seem happy."

"Ah."

"Can that bitter vegetarian dish also be used for making soup?"

"Yes, you guessed it right."

Li Erya turned her head to look at the butler, and seeing that Huang Xingding trusted him, she told him how to cook the soup.

Huang Xingding silently memorized the prescription, and was a little puzzled why she didn't sell the prescription herself.

"Me? It's not easy for me to go out, so forget it." Li Erya smiled self-deprecatingly, taking advantage of no one reminding him to go to Qingshui Village, Luowan Village, and Shifeng Village, who should be wary of.

From Luo Gui'an and He Tong's mouth, she already knew something about the two villages. As for Qingshui Village, she still had the memory of the past, so she could tell the good from the bad.

"You are so powerful, my brother also told me to beware of him." Huang Xingding was full of admiration.
