"Of course, otherwise how could we be called a miracle doctor." Old Mrs. Li had been saved twice by Divine Doctor Zhang, and she respected the old man very much.
But thinking of the Guo family, she asked again, "How did Guo Qing get judged? Mr. Guo is also paralyzed. What should we do if he has a little grandson?"
Jiayin touched the little wooden horse stuffed in her purse, also thinking about Guo Wenhao. .
Li Laosi responded, "Guo Qing has been sentenced to death, and those Jianghu people are also arresting him. The Guo family is not short of money, and Mr. Guo also has a few friends. I think he will not be too bad in the future, and at least he can raise his children." But I don't know how many years Mr. Guo can persist."
Everyone sighed, "The most pitiable ones are the children."
"Yes, he committed a crime."
"This Guo Qing is really wicked. Although he has received his retribution now, But it is also harmful to people, and the Guo family will not survive."
Mrs. Li suddenly thought of her eldest grandson, and felt worried again, "Something happened to the Guo family, and they can no longer open an academy. Where will Jiaren go to study? ?"
Madam Cui comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, aunt, the literary style in Jiangnan is flourishing, there are many academies, there will be no shortage of places for Jiaren to study. Besides, there is a senior brother, he will definitely make arrangements for Jiaren. "
Old Mrs. Li was relieved then, but Zhao Yuru mentioned another matter, "Will those Jianghu people who are being traced come to retaliate against our village?"
Li Laosi nodded, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law, Mr. Wen is also here. Thinking of this, we hid our village in the government office. Outsiders only knew that we happened to meet the murdered Guo family and helped bury them. They didn't know that we were the ones who exposed Guo Qing.
"That's it, Mr. Guo suspected Of course, we can't say it explicitly that we killed people and robbed people of wealth, but we indirectly helped him. However, our village is also safer. Biaotou Liu and I went to see the village chief. We should be more careful in this section of the village, just in case. "
Okay, the same goes for our family. The children should be told not to run around and let others take advantage of them."
"Tomorrow, when we receive guests in the valley, we need to be more cautious. " "
Everyone discussed it for a while and finally settled down.
On the next morning, before it got dark, the whole village got up.
They cleaned the courtyard, swept the roads, boiled water for dinner, and then went to the valley to welcome guests . Of course
, it is impossible for more than a hundred people to crowd into the valley to work. Most of the people should go to the fields, and those who should go to the orchards should go to the orchards.
In the valley, only Li Laoer took the lead and brought the family to settle down. Waiting for a dozen and a half young men, plus seven or eight neatly dressed women.
At three o'clock in the morning, the first wave of guests arrived.
The couple brought a little girl and four slaves.
The seven people gave them food as tickets. Then they were led in.
They booked a small wooden house. It was said to be a small wooden house, but in fact it was quite spacious, with three rooms in total.
One had a stone pool for bathing, one was an inner room for resting, and one was for waiting. Guest living.
Mr. Yan didn't know where he found the craftsmen, and they were extremely skillful.
The bathing room has a window, which is covered with a specially woven straw curtain. From the inside, you can see the outside very clearly, and the water vapor can escape. , but no trace of it can be seen from the outside.
As long as a maid is posted to guard the window, the hostess inside can take a bath, enjoy the scenery, and watch the excitement without worrying about being exposed.
The bathing pool is paved with bluestone, and the water is also The long running water ensures warmth and cleanliness at all times.
As soon as you enter, half of the room is filled with fairy mist, and the pool is full of hot spring water. It really makes people want to jump in immediately.
Men are not afraid of being exposed and rude, and prefer to be spacious and comfortable, so they took the gauze I went to the water pool.
There were a lot of big stones placed on one side of the water pool. When I sat on it, the spring water soaked right up to my chest. I
drank tea and chatted, basked in the sun, and was surrounded by mountain flowers and pool water. Not to mention how comfortable it was.
The other side There are several small canoes on the side, ready for children to play. Because they are tied with ropes, they can only paddle a few feet away, so they are not afraid of running into deep water and causing accidents.
When this family of four was wandering in the valley, The other guests came one after another.
Soon, all the small courtyards and wooden houses had guests.
Some people bring many slaves, and some people come quietly with just one master and one servant.
There are also people who have not booked the wooden house or small courtyard, but just want to come in and see the new things.
Li Laoer only received more than thirty individual customers and closed the gate.
It's not that we don't want to harvest food or make money, but if there are too many people, it's easy to cause trouble.
Especially the core of the entire valley is bathing. Once something goes wrong, either a woman's reputation will be ruined or a man's reputation will be ruined.
Fortunately, the more than thirty individual guests who were let in will come out at dusk. Those who do not stay overnight and have reserved cabins and small courtyards can walk around the valley more comfortably.
When there are more people, there are naturally more things to do.
This cabin needs mosquito coils, that small courtyard needs clean water, and the pond needs tea.
An Jiaxi and other naughty boys were promoted from melon farmers to errand boys, and they became even busier.
Jiaren helped his father keep accounts, and Jiayi and Liu Yang became the leaders of the naughty boys.
The women were responsible for boiling tea and taking care of the female guests.
Although it was their first time on the job and they were a little hesitant, fortunately everyone was here to relax and no one was particularly impatient.
Even if the tea is late or the wrong item is delivered, we won't complain.
By the pool, the men were sitting side by side, taking off their coats. Everyone seemed to have become the same, no distinction between high and low.
When they are thirsty, they share a pot of tea, and when they are bored, they gossip. There is a strange closeness between them.
Seeing it was noon, someone called the young man, "We don't have a cook or a female family member, can you provide food here?"
Before the young man could say anything, someone else said, "Yes, I want to ask about this too. , I was chatting with a few friends over tea the day before yesterday. I heard that there are descendants of the imperial chef in this Broken Gold Beach, and the craftsmanship is quite good. I am looking forward to trying it!"
"Really, there are descendants of the imperial chef here? Then we are in for a treat. Got it!"
Everyone was happy and asked the little boy to ask.
This little boy was Jia An. Of course he was happy when someone praised his mother. He almost flew to the hut at the mouth of the valley to report the news.
Li Laoer had a headache. He thought the guests would bring their own snacks and food, but it was a bit difficult to arrange for them to have a meal here suddenly.
After thinking for a while, he called the village chief and Tao Hongying over.
Jiayin was bored at home and asked her mother to go to the valley to watch the fun. Tao Hongying was busy with something, so she carried her daughter behind her back and coaxed her while working.
At this time, Li Laoer asked Tao Hongying to become a cook, but he was very happy about the good news.
Tao Hongying was helpless, she patted her daughter angrily, said something to Mrs. Li, and went to the valley.
The village chief is a man of action and has already led people to build an earthen stove, while Li Laosan drove a mule cart to Xiaowang Village to buy ingredients.
Fortunately, there was some pork and leftovers left over from the pig slaughter the day before yesterday, which can be used in emergencies at this time.
Tao Hongying made a menu at that time, which was simple to make, delicious and easy to cook.
After all, this place is too simple to make too complicated dishes...
minced meat and tofu, scrambled eggs with wild leeks, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried fungus with cabbage, and radish ball soup.
Today we have tentatively selected these five dishes. The ingredients are easy to buy, and they are complete with both meat and vegetables. They can also be paired with four set meals.
