Chapter 21 Roast Meat
"Mom?! Oh, how did you hurt like this?"

Li Yue put down the kitchen knife while talking, and Li Hui, who was milling flour in the courtyard, hurried into the house after hearing the sound.

Seeing blood bubbling from Cheng Xue's left middle finger, she hastily ordered:
"Tangtang, hurry up, go to the next door and ask your Uncle Xiao for golden sore medicine, hurry up."

While speaking, Li Hui pinched Cheng Xue's finger, looked carefully, and cut off a piece of meat.

"You bought eight catties of meat today, so you don't need to add any more."

If it was usual, she would definitely laugh when he said that, but today she didn't.

Sensing that something was wrong with her, Li Hui led her into the room and asked:
"What's the matter? What's the matter? But the steward of Jinxiang Pavilion wronged you?"

Cheng Xue shook her head, sighed and said:

"No, don't think about it. It's just that the driver I used to ride in the previous two times is gone."

"Are you absent-minded when you're gone? You're really promising. Does it hurt?"

Cheng Xue shook her head again.

"It's not just because of this, but also because his wife ran away after his funeral, and then three of his six children were sold by his brothers. I...I feel bad."

"Then you can't lose your mind while cutting the meat." Li Hui insisted.

Cheng Xue also knew that she shouldn't, so she nodded with a submissive "Yeah".

"By the way, hurry up and go to Brother Dake and tell him that there is a fight in the south. The Marquis of Zhenbei will take the imperial decree and go to the north to garrison. There can be no further delay."

Li Hui didn't move, looking at the bloody fingers, his brows were furrowed.

"What to do, there is no tetanus in this place, will the medicine for golden sores work? Did you have any reliable prescriptions when you were electing?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's so delicate. You go to Brother Dake quickly..."

"What's the hurry, wrap your hands and talk."

Seeing that he opened his eyes, Cheng Xue stopped mentioning it.

Although she is two years older than him, sometimes she looks like a little one and has to be taken care of by him.

Li Yue came back with the medicine, and there were several red porcelain bottles in his hand.

"Father, Uncle Xiao said that letting Mother take a pill of this will speed up wound healing. Mother, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. Where's Iron Egg?"

"I'm practicing calligraphy in Uncle Xiao's room. Tiantian and Sidan are also there, and Uncle Xiao looks very good." Li Yue replied with a smile.

Li Hui applied the medicine while blowing the air, Cheng Xue felt his meticulousness and warmed his heart.

This is because I have no chance to meet women in the military camp all year round, otherwise I would have left the singles early, so that I wouldn't be able to cross over to become a father.

After wrapping his fingers, Li Hui said with a long sigh of relief:

"These days, be careful not to touch the water, and the rice..."

"Duang...Duang...Duang..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knocking of a gong outside.

There is this sound every year when the tax and grain are collected, and now that the tax grain has been handed over to hit the gong, it should be...

The two looked at each other, and Li Hui hurriedly got up and went out.

Li Yue was puzzled, frowned and asked:

"Mom, what happened?"

"I'll find out when your father comes back. Let's go, let's go to work."

"I don't need your mother, I can cut the meat myself."

"I'll peel the garlic and onion, and I'll help you."

……

As soon as Jiang Jianye, the head of the village, explained the matter of conscription, the villagers wailed.

Feeling such an atmosphere in the crowd, Li Hui couldn't help but feel sad for his comrades in arms in this other world.

"Defending the family and the country" is such a sacred word, but it is so unbearable in the eyes of these villagers.

Of course, they can't be blamed. The treatment of soldiers here is really bad, and some people who have committed crimes will also be exiled.

The matter of conscription had nothing to do with him, he only stayed for a quarter of an hour and left.

When I got home and saw Cheng Xue grinding powder in the yard, I hurriedly dragged her away.

"Working even with your hands hurt? You don't need me, just rest in the room."

Cheng Xue didn't enter the room, but squatted beside him and said:

"It took less money to buy medicines today, and many expensive medicines have been withdrawn. Dr. Lu said that I am recovering well, and I can stop taking medicines in a short time."

"That's not bad." Li Hui's gloomy mood eased a lot, "By the way, what does Jinxiang Pavilion do? Is it a restaurant?"

"No, jewelry sellers, there are a lot of things in it. There are so many beautiful things in it, and any one you take home is an antique."

Li Hui's eyes lit up when she saw her talking, and the movement of grinding powder on his hands also accelerated sharply.

There were cries and complaints from passing villagers outside the door, and the two looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing tacitly.

Li Yue heard the sound and asked wonderingly:

"Father, what happened in the village?"

"It's nothing, the court wants to recruit soldiers."

Li Yue gave a muffled "Oh" and turned back to the room.

Although conscription has nothing to do with her, but conscription means fighting, the little girl is still quite worried.

After the ingredients were prepared and the meat was marinated, Li Hui took the small stove for boiling medicine to the west room to light a fire.

Cheng Xue was in the kitchen making side dishes to relieve the tiredness. Li Yue had already prepared the preparatory work, and she only needed to season it.

When dinner was ready, Li Hui went to find Xiao Qinglin.When he came to the west room, he was stunned.

She said she was going to treat him to a good meal, but what... what are you eating?
The pot is full of meat, but it's all raw. Do you cook it now?
"Sister-in-law, how is your hand?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. I'll let you eat something you haven't eaten before. Your elder brother and I have read in the book that we have always wanted to try it but have no chance. Fortunately, you came and created an opportunity for us." Cheng Xue Deliberately showing off.

Put a table under the window, six small dishes to relieve the tiredness, peeled raw garlic, and washed perilla leaves.

Cheng Xue picked up the beef and put it on the grate, and she and Li Hui swallowed subconsciously when the long-lost "Zi La..." sounded.

I don't think this is a day or two, but it can be regarded as eating.Although the money spent is a bit much, the benefits are greater than the effort, which is particularly cost-effective.

After the first oven was baked, Li Hui took it and put it on the table.

The meat is sandwiched, dipped in sauce, wrapped in perilla leaves, and then put into the mouth.

Xiao Qinglin just stared at him, not daring to move his chopsticks.Li Yue and Li Heng also ate meat like their father.Seeing the three of them chewing, swallowing, and still nodding, he finally tried to sandwich the meat and learned how to eat.

Li Huai in the basin was anxiously "tattling...".Li Tian ate the egg fried rice fried by his mother with relish.

"How is it, how does it taste?"

Faced with Li Hui's question, Xiao Qinglin couldn't stop nodding.

It looks like the flesh is mushy, but it doesn't disappear when you eat it.The beef is not smelly, and the dipping sauce is very fragrant, with garlic and perilla leaves, it is not greasy at all.

"Sister-in-law, is this beef you made? It's too expensive."

"What's the expense of feeding you! Our family has eaten a lot of good things these days because of you, and it should be."

Pork is expensive, but beef is even more expensive.

Liangyan can't slaughter cattle at will. If she wants to eat beef, she has to go to a special place, and the price is not affordable for ordinary people.

He knew that the Li family had a lot of money, but no matter how much money they had for their own education, they couldn't spend it like this.

The couple are so real, they paid so much just to repay the favor.

"Come here, try this mutton, the mutton is so tender."

"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. You... this... you can't, no matter what I give you at night, you have to continue, or I won't be able to get over the hurdle in my heart."

 Thank you Xia Tian and Leng Yan for your reward, okay?
  Those who have free tickets remember to vote for Xiao Ai, I love you
