Chapter 87: After Sending One Off, Another Comes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Over the past few days, Su Li had taken advantage of the break to stir-fry the chili she had dried. She planned to make these into chili powder.
Cheng Yu glanced at her but didn’t say anything. He was afraid that he would end up causing more trouble.
Su Li smiled at Cheng Yu and said, “Do you want to help?”
Cheng Yu asked uncertainly, “Can I do this well?”
Su Li said, “You can definitely do it.”
Su Li asked Cheng Yu to place the chili in the small stone mill that she had prepared. This kind of stone mill can only be hammered with a small stick specially made of stone. The process of grinding it into powder was a little long and especially torturous.
There was a stone mill in the village, but the villagers would go there to grind rice noodles and other food. Su Li did not dare to use her chili to grind them. She was afraid that the villagers would die from the spiciness.
Cheng Yu picked up the stone stick and hammered it. Before he could hammer it a few times, he almost choked to death. Then, his eyes were especially hot, and tears flowed down.
“Madam Su!” Cheng Yu was extremely aggrieved. He had thought that it was a simple task, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.
Su Li said, “I’ll find a cloth for you to cover your mouth. Turn your head to the side so that your eyes won’t feel uncomfortable.”
She already knew this outcome, so she quickly pulled Cheng Yu over.
Cheng Yu was in tears. Was it too late for him to go back on his word now?
With Cheng Yu’s hard work, a jar of chili powder was successfully made.
The process of making chili noodles was too tiring, so Su Li did not plan to sell them for the time being. If she wanted to sell them, she would sell the unprocessed chili directly.
After recuperating for seven days, He Yufeng’s body had recovered a lot. Although he could not get out of bed yet, he could sit up.
Su Li checked He Yufeng’s wound. It was not inflamed, and he had recovered quite well.
“How long before I can get out of bed?” He Yufeng asked.
He was still thinking about the prey on the mountain. If he did not hurry up and hunt for the next two months, how would they survive this winter?
Su Li said, “What’s the hurry? It’ll take at least half a month, but you will only be able to walk normally. Don’t even think about going up the mountain to hunt.”
He Yufeng frowned when he heard this. If he couldn’t go up the mountain, how was he going to live his life?
Su Li wasn’t as troubled as He Yufeng. She had many ways to earn money, and now that she had money in her pocket, she didn’t panic at all.
Seeing that He Yufeng had also recovered, Su Li mentioned the construction of the house to him.
“Last time, I told you that I made some money from selling the soap formula, so I want to take advantage of this time to repair the house. Otherwise, we’ll really be homeless the next time the wind blows.”
She did not want to experience that embarrassing situation again.
He Yufeng pondered for a moment and said, “We still have to ask the village chief to mark out a place for the construction of the house, but I’m afraid that the people at the old residence…”
He Yufeng didn’t finish his sentence, but Su Li instantly understood.
It was easy to find the village chief. After all, Zhou Yu and her were very close now. As long as she asked, He Yuan would not reject her.
The most troublesome thing was the people at the old residence. If they did not settle the people at the old residence in advance, the people at the old residence would definitely come and cause trouble during the construction of the house. Although she was not afraid of them, if they came over every day to cause trouble, it would affect the people working.
It seemed that she had to get rid of the people in the old residence first before talking about building a house.
Cheng Yu saw that He Yufeng had almost recovered and that there was not much use for him to stay here, so he bade farewell to Su Li.
“Madam Su, I’ll go back first. Our boss should be back soon. If he comes back, I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
He was still thinking about the anesthetic!
After staying in the He Family Village for the past few days, although he had learned a lot, Su Li did not mention anything about the anesthetic.
It seemed like he could only wait for his boss to come back and sign the agreement before being able to work on it!
Su Li nodded. “Alright, go back first. Just inform me when the time comes.” She handed the chili powder she had prepared to Cheng Yu. “Take these back and eat them.”
When Cheng Yu saw the jar of chili powder, he recalled how he had cried bitterly that day. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, but he still brought it back.
After all, the chili tasted really good. Moreover, he had worked hard to make it, so he felt a sense of accomplishment when he ate it.
After sending Cheng Yu off, Sun Ming came to visit again. “Physician Su…” Sun Ming waved at her from afar.
“Why are you here?” Su Li was a little puzzled.
Sun Ming explained, “My old madam asked me to invite you over. We haven’t paid you for the previous consultation.”
Su Li patted her head, she had almost forgetten about this.
“Your old lady isn’t fainting anymore, is she?”
Sun Ming smiled and said, “She;s not dizzy anymore. She saw that you haven’t been to town for the past few days and specially asked me to invite you over.”
Old Madam Sun’s dizziness had been completely cured by Su Li, so she quickly sent someone to invite Su Li over. She was afraid that Su Li would mind what happened the previous time and not treat her in the future.
Su Li thought about it and decided to make a trip to town.
“Wait a moment. I’ll pack some things,” Su Li said.
Sun Ming smiled and nodded his head. “Physician Su, take your time.”
Su Li entered the house and said to He Yufeng, “I have something to do in town. I’ll get Chen Xiang to make lunch for you. If I’m not back by dinner time, you can eat by yourselves. You don’t have to wait for me.”
He Yufeng was surprised by Su Li’s instructions. In the past, she never told anyone where she went. She came and went as she pleased. She was so detailed today that even their lunch was arranged. He Yufeng said dryly, “Be careful on the way.”
Su Li nodded and replied, “Okay.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu knew that Su Li was going to town and looked at her pitifully.
Su Li rubbed their heads. “Mother will sell these fragrant soap and be back soon. ”
He Qingmu hugged Su Li’s thigh. “Mother, I want to go with you too. Can you bring me along?”
He Qingyao also ran over. “Mother, I want to go with you too.”
She had business to attend to in town, so it was inconvenient for her to take care of the two children. Moreover, there was a patient at home who needed someone to take care of.
Su Li said, “I’ll bring you guys along when your father recovers. You guys stay at home and guard your father.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu thought of He Yufeng, who was still lying on the bed, and gave up on the idea of following her.
“Alright then. We’ll stay at home and take care of Father.” He Qingmu sounded a little reluctant.
He Yufeng lay on the bed and the corners of his mouth twitched. In the past, he was in high demand. Why was his position getting worse and worse now?
Su Li asked them to memorize poems again and said that she would check it when she returned later.
He Qingyao puffed out his chest and said, “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely memorize it by the time you come back.”
He Qingmu lowered his head.. Memorize poems? It was more like poems
memorizing him!
