Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 7

No matter how anxious Su Qinghe was, she could only hold back.At night, when everyone in the family went to bed, she got up secretly, and went to the bottom of the wall with a small shovel to dig her two duck eggs.

The mixture of furnace ashes and tea leaves was still stuck on the duck eggs, Su Qinghe picked up water to wash the duck eggs, and then went back to the room.There is not much lamp oil in the house, Su Qinghe is full of food and sleep every day, and has nothing else to do, so there is no need to put oil lamps in the room.

Su Qinghe could only hold back and wait until dawn before cracking open the two duck eggs, but she was so anxious that she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.The sky was slightly bright, and when I heard my parents getting up outside, I immediately turned over and sat up, took the duck egg next to the pillow and knocked it on the head of the bed.

Taking two deep breaths, clapping his hands together and chanting Buddha's blessing, he opened the egg shell to reveal the duck egg inside.Seeing only a layer of bluish-black gel under the eggshell, Su Qinghe's face immediately showed joy.

Quickly peel off the remaining eggshell, exposing the entire duck egg.The top is blue and black, and the bottom is slightly brownish yellow. There are four or five pine flower-like things scattered on the entire duck egg.

It worked!
In an instant, these three words appeared back and forth in Su Qinghe's head. Su Qinghe couldn't help but narrowed her eyes with a smile, raised the duck egg a little higher, and looked through the window to the light. tempting.

"Xiaohe, why are you smirking?" Su Qinghe was smirking and estimating how much her preserved egg could sell for, when she heard a question from the door, she looked up and saw Su Zhang standing at the door, and then, Su Mrs. Zhang's gaze turned to Su Qinghe's hand, and she was immediately taken aback. She walked in two or three steps: "What is this? Where did you get it, Xiaohe?"

"Mother, these are duck eggs. A month ago, my second brother and I went to pick up duck eggs. When we came back, I broke two of them. I thought it was a pity, so I wrapped them in ashes and buried them in the ground. I dug them out yesterday. of."

Su Qinghe rolled her eyes, and said quickly: "I felt a little hungry just now, so I broke it."

Su Zhang's eyebrows were raised: "You are quite courageous! You dare to eat anything you get at random! It has been buried in the ground for a month, and the hair has long grown in it. Didn't you look at that duck egg?" Has it all turned black? The thing is moldy! You are not afraid of poisoning yourself! Throw it away!"

"Mother, it's not moldy!" Su Qinghe said quickly, and motioned Su Zhangshi to look at the duck egg: "You smell it, it smells good, it's very fragrant, I think it must not be poisonous. Otherwise, let our pigs eat it." For one thing, if the pig is fine, it must not be poisonous."

"You are so generous, and let the pigs eat a little bit!" Mrs. Su Zhang couldn't laugh or cry, and came over to dress Su Qinghe: "Our pigs are waiting to be sold at the end of the year, and if they die of poison, then they will die. Throw it away quickly, there must be hair growing inside, and you can’t touch it outside.”

Su Qinghe was in a hurry. Seeing that Su Zhangshi was going to grab the duck egg in her hand, she immediately stuffed it into her mouth and ate half of it at once. Patting her on the back: "You spit it out!"

"Mother, it's really not poisonous!" Su Qinghe was so beaten that she almost vomited out the food of the previous night, but she can't vomit right now. Then, he swallowed the duck eggs in his mouth, almost suffocating to death.

"You're disobedient!" When Su Zhang saw that Su Qinghe had really eaten, he was stunned, and then his eyes turned red, and he patted Su Qinghe vigorously: "You are going to kill me, Jingsen! Jingsen! Come on, Go and invite Dr. Li over here!"

Su Jingsen was sweeping the floor in the yard, when she heard Su Zhang's cry, she immediately panicked, and hurried in: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Even Su Zhiping and Su Zhian quickly followed in, surrounded by Su Zhangshi and Su Qinghe nervously, Su Qinghe was already in a daze, didn't he just eat half a preserved egg?Is it necessary for the whole family to fight together?

"Hurry up, go ask the doctor, Xiao He has eaten something poisonous." Mrs. Su Zhang said while wiping her tears, and then told Su Zhiping: "Go get some manure, and quickly pour it down for your sister!"

Su Zhiping responded, and immediately went out. Su Zhian's eyes were also red, and he circled around Su Qinghe: "What did you eat, little sister? Little sister, are you okay? Does your stomach hurt? Spit it out quickly, little sister, don't you?" scare me!"

"Father, brother, don't go, I'm really fine!" Su Qinghe didn't have the time to comfort Su Zhian, and shouted towards the door, but those two movements were not slow, and she had already run out of the yard at this moment.No matter how Su Qinghe yelled, those two people didn't even respond.

Not long after, Su Zhiping came over with a long-handled spoon, and before he entered the room, the stench came to his nostrils, and Su Qinghe was almost suffocated to death.Su Zhang hugged her and shouted: "Quick, pour her down."

Su Qinghe panicked and struggled again and again, but Su Zhangshi was much stronger than her, and there was Su Zhian beside her who fixed her head and pinched her chin. I am getting closer and closer.

"Mother!" Su Qinghe yelled, raising her foot to kick the spoon stretched out in front of her, but Su Zhian's hand was steady, although half of it was spilled, but there was still half. legs together.

Su Qinghe was very anxious, not only for the next thing, but also for her own way of making money. Today, no matter what, she couldn't let the preserved eggs bear the name of poison.Thinking about it, she hurriedly shouted: "Mom, this can be sold for money!"

Mrs. Su Zhang ignored her, thinking that she was losing her mind, and turned to call Su Zhiping: "Quick, pour the dung in!"

Su Zhiping nodded, and moved the spoon closer to Su Qinghe. Su Qinghe had no choice but to change the sentence and shouted: "Mother, this is really given to me by the gods! This is really non-toxic! The gods said, it is good to eat!" "

Hearing the name of the god, Su Zhiping finally paused.These days, ghosts and gods are what ordinary people fear most.

Su Zhangshi also frowned, feeling that the strength of the little girl's struggle in her arms really didn't look like someone who was about to die from poisoning, so she was a little confused: "What did you say? Isn't that thing a long-haired duck egg?"

"It's really not, mother, I'm not lying to you, it was given by the gods." Su Qinghe finally took a breath, her head turned rapidly, trying to make the whole story more vivid: "I lied to you before. I'm sorry, mother, but this is really given by the gods."

The main reason is that Su Qinghe has been too successful in pretending to be a child these days, she is no different from a six-year-old girl.The members of the Su family have never doubted that the girl's soul has changed, so now seeing Su Qinghe's swearing, her eyes are clear, and she doesn't feel guilty about lying at all, she believes it a little bit in her heart.

"You tell the whole thing from the beginning to the end." Su Zhangshi said in a calm voice, Su Qinghe was about to speak, when Su Jingsen shouted from outside: "Mother, how is the girl? Has she been filled with feces?"

Before Su Zhang could make a sound, Su Qinghe hurriedly shouted: "Father, I'm fine."

At this moment, Su Jingsen has dragged a middle-aged man into the door. He is a barefoot doctor from the village, and he can still treat ordinary ailments.Following Su Jingsen into the door, he saw the stinky dung scattered on the ground, and then looked at Su Qinghe who was hugged by Su Zhang on the bed. Seeing that little girl had a lively face and clever eyes, she took a breath and said: "I Speaking of Brother Jingsen, your daughter is fine from the looks of it, but you let me run away, I'm so tired."

The two of them were out of breath when they entered the door, obviously running over.Mrs. Su Zhang was still worried about Su Qinghe, and while pulling her arm out, she said with an apologetic smile: "Doctor Li, we are also in a panic. We are only a girl, Xiaohe, who is as precious as her eyeballs on weekdays. She ate the wrong food. Don't you die in a hurry? Please show me, although she looks fine, but I can't rest assured."

Dr. Li nodded, and came up to give Su Qinghe a pulse: "It's right to be careful, some things didn't happen at that time, and you have to wait for ten days and a half months. However, you also know that at my level, I can only Take a look at Xiaobing, you guys, you should go to the town and take a closer look."

Su Jingsen nodded repeatedly, not daring to disturb Dr. Li to take his pulse.After a long while, Dr. Li let go of his hand: "I don't see any problem, the little girl is in very good health, alive and kicking."

Su Jingsen, Su Zhangshi and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Zhangshi looked at Su Jingsen.Su Jingsen immediately thanked Dr. Li and gave Dr. Li a few more copper coins before sending him out.

Su Zhang turned her head and continued to interrogate Su Qinghe: "Tell me, how did the duck egg come about?"

"Didn't I recover from my illness that day? Then the second brother went out to play by himself. I was left alone at home. It was quite boring. I just wanted to go out and play with Xiaoyue and the others." Xiaoyue is Su Qinghe's little friend, the neighbor The little girl next door is eight years old this year.

"Xiaoyue was not at home, so I wanted to go up the mountain to find my second brother. When I walked to the edge of the village, I saw an old man sitting on the side of the road eating, and that was what he was eating. I asked him what he was eating, and he said yes I even let me take a bite of what the gods ate, but it was delicious."

Su Qinghe shook the half preserved egg: "Then he left. I kept thinking that it would be nice to eat a few more. Later, I went to pick up duck eggs with my second brother, and I accidentally broke two. After that, I felt it was a pity to lose it. Thinking of the one that my grandfather gave me before, I buried the duck egg and asked the Bodhisattva to turn it into this kind of duck egg for me. The Bodhisattva really heard my words. Look, it's exactly the same as what that grandpa gave me. I think that grandpa must be a god, otherwise, how could he have this thing? It must be non-toxic, mother, look, I'm fine now."

Girl, who said starting a business in ancient times was easy?Who said that inventing a little food casually can conquer the masses?
