Chapter 31 Making Clothes

Doctor Lu's words undoubtedly gave new hope to the desperate Ye family, and they looked at Doctor Lu with burning eyes.

Mr. Zou also asked excitedly: "Who?"

Dr. Lu said: "There was an imperial physician named Fei before the Taiyuan Hospital. Fei's medical skills were far superior to those of the other imperial doctors at the Taiyuan Hospital. If he were here, he might be able to completely cure Young Master Ye's health."

Mr. Zou frowned slightly: "Doctor Lu was talking about before. Did he say that the imperial doctor named Fei is no longer in the Imperial Hospital?"

Dr. Lu nodded.

"Does Dr. Lu know where Dr. Fei is now? Or is he already..."

"I don't know about this either. Although Dr. Fei's medical skills are superb, his temper is a little stubborn and he is too upright. He somehow annoyed the late emperor more than ten years ago. The late emperor almost had his head chopped off, or... The eldest princess came forward to plead with the late emperor and saved his head. After that, Imperial Physician Fei felt that it was too dangerous to be an imperial physician in the imperial hospital, so he resigned as an imperial physician and left the capital."

Doctor Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is now, whether he is still alive or not."

Seeing the light in everyone's eyes getting dimmer as he spoke, Doctor Lu quickly added: "Mr. Fei was just over 40 years old when he left the capital. If there are no accidents, he will definitely be alive and well."

Mrs. Zhang murmured: "Even if the person is alive, where will we find him?"

The atmosphere in the room became dull, and finally Father Ye, who was usually taciturn, spoke: "Anyway, it is better to have hope than no hope. I would like to thank Mr. Zou, Doctor Lu, Mr. Wei and Doctor Luo for what happened today. If If it’s not you, our family is probably preparing for Sanlang’s funeral at the moment. We farmers don’t have anything good, so if you don’t mind, just have a simple meal at home.”

Mr. Zou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Doctor Luo knew that Doctor Lu was an old imperial doctor who had retired from retirement and wanted to spend more time with him, so he agreed.

When Zhou Ran came out of the room carrying the empty teapot, she saw Mrs. Chen plucking chickens and ducks in the corner of the yard, and guessed that Mr. Zou and the others were going to stay for dinner.

He handed the teapot in his hand to Ye Xiaomei and asked Ye Xiaomei to go to the room to guard Ye Ximing while he went to help.

Just as Zhou Ran was about to help plucking the hair, Mrs. Zhang came in from outside the yard carrying a piece of bacon. When she saw it, she stopped her and said, "Aran, don't worry about this. You will just be responsible for it later."

Although Chen's cooking skills are good, she can't cook big dishes. If she is entertaining distinguished guests today, it would be safer to let Zhou Ran cook. Even if Zhou Ran didn't come out, Mrs. Zhang was going to call Zhou Ran after everything was done.

Mrs. Chen also smiled and said to Zhou Ran: "What mother said is that the third brother and sister should first think about how to cook the duck and chicken. I will just wait here."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." After Zhou Ran finished speaking, she was going to go to the kitchen to see what was in the house. But before leaving, Zhou Ran saw the down plucked from the duck in Mrs. Chen's hand, and her heart moved, "Sister-in-law." , pluck out this duck feather and keep it for me first, don’t throw it away, I’ll use it.”

Mrs. Chen lowered his head and looked at the duck feather in his hand. He didn't know what the duck feather could be used for, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for my third younger brother and sister."

Zhou Ran went into the kitchen, looked through the things in the house, and had an idea.

The sour radish that Zhang and Chen had pickled before was ready. She was going to make sour radish and duck soup. She also had hazel mushrooms that Ye’s father had picked up from the mountains and dried in the sun. She could also make a stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms. There is a lot of wild garlic in the garden behind. You can use the wild garlic sprouts to fry bacon and eggs.

That’s four dishes. Let’s add a stir-fried lotus root slices and a cold spinach. A total of six dishes should be enough.

Zhou Ran told Mrs. Zhang about the dish she had ordered, and Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Zhou Ran started cooking, Zhang and Chen helped, and Li lit the fire. The two stoves were working at the same time. After more than half an hour, the food was all ready. Li's mouth was watering due to the fragrance. She swallowed and said to Zhou Ran: "Third younger brother and sister, it would be great if you were the one cooking from now on."

Mrs. Zhang said calmly: "You think so, A'ran still has to do embroidery work, how can I have time to cook for you?"

Mrs. Li didn't care when she was attacked, and took small sips of the old duck soup that Zhou Ran served for her.

The food was brought to the table and almost all was eaten.

After the meal, Dr. Lu, who had eaten and drank enough, went to check on Ye Ximing again, prescribed him a new prescription for replenishing his body, and followed Mr. Zou and the others back to the county town.

Before leaving, Zhou Ran gave Dr. Lu a hundred taels of silver as a consultation fee, and she also gave Dr. Luo ten taels of silver as a consultation fee.

Mr. Zou originally planned to pay for the Ye family's medical consultation himself, but seeing that Zhou Ran had spent so much money and was not as poor as he thought, he didn't mention it again.

Ye Ximing recuperated for a few days, and his health improved a little, but everyone in the Ye family did not dare to take it lightly.

The charcoal fire in Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran's room was so hot that Zhou Ran couldn't stay in the room, so he moved the embroidery frame to Ye Xiaomei's room.

Although there is little hope for Doctor Fei mentioned by Dr. Lu, the Ye family does not want to give up.

Ye Erlang paid people he knew from the county bodyguard bureau to help them find out where Dr. Fei was while they were out escorting.

While Zhou Ran was embroidering the picture "Cang Mountain, Clouds and Sea" in the past few days, she asked Zhang to buy nearly twenty ducks from the village. The Ye family ate ducks almost three times a day.

After eating ducks for six days in a row, after everyone in the Ye family, including Da Niu, no longer wanted to eat ducks, Zhou Ran finally collected enough duck downs.

Zhou Ran picked a good day, put all the duck down in hot water, washed it with soap, dried it, then put it in a steamer for high-temperature sterilization, then wrapped it in fine cloth and dried it again.

The dried duck down looks clean and fluffy, and it can be used after it smells free of its own fishy smell.

There was no fabric at home that could be used to sew the inside of the down jacket, so Zhou Ran went to the county again and selected very finely woven fine cotton from a cloth shop.

Although this kind of fine cotton cloth is also called cotton cloth, its price is not low. One foot sells for two hundred and forty cash, which is almost as high as the price of silk.

After Zhou Ran bought the cloth back, it took several days to make the clothes.

Ye Xiaomei looked at the robe in Zhou Ran's hand and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, is this really warmer than a cotton coat?"

Zhou Ran handed the clothes to Ye Xiaomei and said with a smile: "Try it on."

Ye Xiaomei felt itchy, so she simply took off her coat and wrapped herself in the down jacket made by Zhou Ran. After a while, Ye Xiaomei was sweating.

Ye Xiaomei hurriedly took off her clothes, handed them to Zhou Ran, and said, "Third sister-in-law, it's too warm. Please hurry up and give it to third brother."
