Chapter 10 Mustard Peanuts
"What are you talking about? It's a matter of life and death, why haven't it been done yet!" Dr. Luo also got angry, "Didn't you urge them?"

"I've called, I've called several times, and every time the city bureau said the goods would be arriving soon. They rushed to make arrangements, but until now..."

"Okay, stop talking." Doctor Luo paused, "Call the county hospital and medical school immediately and ask them to borrow some first."

The little nurse hurriedly ran out to make a phone call. Doctor Luo shook his head.

As a doctor, she didn't know that reusing infusion tubes would cause various hidden dangers no matter how disinfected they were, which could easily lead to complications of infusion.

However, the medical conditions in the county and even the entire city are not good.

Disposable infusion tubes are in short supply throughout the city, let alone in a small health clinic like hers...

It is normal to not have enough medical equipment. The city bureau said that it is unhygienic to reuse infusion tubes and there is nothing wrong with it. But the patient is lying on the bed and any further delay will result in death.

She let out a long sigh and said, "Mom, let me prescribe some antipyretics for Xiaoli first. Once the infusion tube arrives, I will give her an intravenous drip."

Grandma Su nodded helplessly.

The young nurse walked in with her head lowered, "Dr. Luo, the health school said they don't have any anymore, and the county hospital said the infusion tubes were too tight, and they refused to call us..."

"Okay, I understand. You can continue to urge me tomorrow. First, give the patient a butt injection. I will then prescribe some antipyretic medicine. You go and prepare."

Doctor Luo had also expected this situation. At this moment, she had calmed down and her tone had softened.

The little nurse felt very guilty and nodded hurriedly.

Su Xiaoli was lying on the hospital bed and vaguely heard something about the infusion tube not being enough. When she didn't hear anything else, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Grandma Su rushed home to make some porridge and brought it with her, and then held the nurse in question for a long time.

As expected, I still haven't borrowed the infusion tube...

It took three full days, relying solely on her tenacious vitality and two butt injections every day, for Su Xiaoli to get rid of her fever.

Grandma Su thanked Dr. Luo and the nurse again and again, which made Dr. Luo and the two very embarrassed.

"Auntie, please don't thank me. It's because we didn't do our job well. If we give him an infusion, the child's fever will be gone in one day."

Dr. Luo had some free time these days to chat with Grandma Su. He knew that the family background of his grandparents was not good, and staying in the health center for three consecutive days was a big expense for them.

How could Grandma Su not know that it was not the doctor's fault that the infusion tube was not in place.

She took out a bag of washed shelled peanuts and handed them to Dr. Luo.

"There's nothing else at home, except a lot of peanuts, which you eat when you stay up late on duty."

Doctor Luo couldn't refuse, but thanked Grandma Su for her kindness, and Grandma Su took Su Xiaoli back home.

"Xiao Li, what are you going to do with these peanuts at home?"

Grandma Su looked at the peanuts drying in the yard. This girl must have had an idea after collecting so many peanuts.

Su Xiaoli still had to set the tone when it came to doing business. Young people who had read books had a sharp mind.

"Grandma, we can't make money by selling them directly, so we still have to process them. Wet peanuts are braised, dried peanuts are fried in shells, or shelled to make spicy peanuts and mustard peanuts."

"Mustard peanut, what is that?"

Grandma Su knows braised peanuts, fried peanuts, and spicy peanuts, but this is the first time she has heard of mustard peanuts.

"The peanuts are peeled, and there is no need to even use the red skin. There is no need for too much processing. After drying, they are only roasted in oil, and then coated with a little mustard powder, pepper powder and fine salt."

Dr. Su travels a lot and has tasted more than just the 01:30 delicacies.

Being a clinician is stressful, and I don’t always eat in time. I often just make a quick meal and finish the meal.

Among the many snacks she has tasted, she has a special liking for this "wasabi peanut".

Slightly spicy, crispy and full of enjoyment.Not only can it supplement vitamins and calcium, but the mustard flavor can also refresh your mind, which is better than coffee.

The mustard peanuts are spicy, salty, fragrant and crispy, and have a multi-layered taste. Just thinking about it makes Su Xiaoli's mouth secrete saliva involuntarily.

"Mustard powder...is that delicious?" Grandma Su had eaten mustard once in her life. The smell made her nose hurt and tears flowed out.

When it came to food, Su Xiaoli regained her energy.

"Let's make one and taste it ourselves first. If we think it's delicious, we'll sell it."

"Okay, it's up to you." Grandma Su is a neat person and does whatever she says.

I still have a lot of spices I bought two days ago, which would have been wasted if I didn't stew the duck. Now I can just use them to cook the peanuts.

Grandma Su didn't let Su Xiaoli get started, "Go, go back to the house and rest, I'll do it myself."

"Then I'll find a shady place to sit and peel peanuts for you."

The grandfather and grandson talked and worked until evening, when a large pot of boiled peanuts was ready, and the fragrance filled the yard.

"I'll send some to you, Uncle Li. When I come back, we'll go sell it together."

Grandma Su didn't allow Su Xiaoli to speak, and went to the office in the front yard with a bowl.

As soon as she went out, someone came to the yard, "Is Aunt Su here?"

When Su Xiaoli went out, she saw that it was Guo Hongxia, Aunt Shen's new daughter-in-law. Aunt Shen had brought her here last time.

"Sister-in-law Hongxia, you are here. My grandma has gone to work. Is there something wrong?"

Guo Hongxia smiled at Su Xiaoli, "It's okay. I just thought the leeks I cut in your backyard last time were fresher than those in the market. I'll buy some more."

Naturally happy when business came to her, Su Xiaoli took Guo Hongxia towards the backyard.

"The aunts in the yard have already cut all the leeks, and it will take about ten days for another crop to grow. How about you come up with something else, tomatoes, loofahs, cucumbers, beans, sister-in-law, what do you like to eat?"

The two started talking as they walked.

Guo Hongxia's hometown is in the mountainous area of ​​Lingzheng County. After being introduced by someone, she married Li Dazhuang, a city man.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are officially the "public family members" of the company. My husband is a worker in the county's state-owned fertilizer factory, and everyone in the family earns wages.

Only she had just arrived in the county and had no job. Her parents-in-law only hoped that she would be healthy and have children after she got married. They were also afraid that she would be bored at home alone, so they asked her to go to the courtyard and walk around more with people.

Guo Hongxia didn't know many people when she first arrived, and she didn't want to sit around at home.

She remembered that Su Xiaoli, who was selling duck eggs at the door that day, was about the same age as her little sister. It was easy to communicate with her, and fresh vegetables were grown here, so she came over.

She was busy picking beans and silently observed Su Xiaoli.

This girl speaks and acts steadily and openly. She is indeed a girl who is good at reading. On the other hand, she dropped out of high school after less than half a year. She is stupid and has no knowledge.

Even when her mother-in-law and father-in-law talked about Su Xiaoli's miserable life experience at home, she still envied Su Xiaoli for his good brain and ability to continue studying.

She felt that chatting with Su Xiaoli was very enjoyable. Even though they had only known each other for a short time, they felt very comfortable getting along with her.

Guo Hongxia handed over the two cents and held the weighed beans in her hand without moving for a long time, as if to encourage herself.

Suddenly his face turned red and he said: "I, I...can I chat with you again in the future?"

When she became anxious, her hometown dialect, which she had just changed two months ago, came out again.

 What to do?I'm hungry again
