A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space
Chapter 18 A Murder Caused by a Crab
"It doesn't matter if we postpone it for a day or two," said Manager Cheng nonchalantly.
"Then Uncle Cheng, it's a deal. See you tomorrow." Lin Yiran looked at Shopkeeper Cheng seriously.
"A word is a promise, little girl," said Manager Cheng with a smile.
"I'll ask Zhuzi to pick you up tomorrow." Manager Cheng added.
"No, we have a bullock cart in our village, which goes to the town every day. Zhuzi has been busy all day, so let him have a rest." Lin Yiran politely refused.
"Ran girl is always so considerate and sensible. Eat first. The food should be cold after being delayed for so long." Shopkeeper Cheng gently touched Lin Yiran's head.
"Okay, Uncle Cheng, let's eat together. I fried the cabbage and it's delicious." Lin Yiran said as he took another mouthful of rice.
While eating cabbage, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to send food to my father and others.
"Third brother, go to the kitchen and get another plate of stir-fried cabbage and two bowls of rice.
Put a few more crabs on the tray and give them to Dad and Brother Zhang Kai."
"Okay, Xiaoran, take your time eating, there's no rush. You've worked hard today." Looking at Third Brother Lin entering the kitchen.
Lin Yiran started to eat seriously and saw several people at the table watching him eat.
Lin Yiran was a little embarrassed, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Liu, Uncle Jiang, you guys should try it too. The cabbage I stir-fry is different from the usual stir-fried cabbage. You will regret it if you don't try it."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Cheng symbolically picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and then his eyes narrowed.
"It's moderately sweet and sour, with a refreshing taste, crisp and appetizing. The slight spiciness and sweet and sour taste complement each other perfectly, it's wonderful!"
I took another piece of food with chopsticks and chewed it carefully.
When Manager Liu and Doctor Jiang saw Lao Cheng's expression, they felt that they had missed out on a hundred million.
They all reached out their chopsticks to the plate of pickled cabbage.
When Lin Yiran saw this, she quickly put two chopsticks into the bowl.
In the blink of an eye, only soup was left on the plate of cabbage. Doctor Jiang even exaggeratedly poured the soup from the plate into his own bowl and drank it.
Lin Yiran was stunned. Are these people the reincarnations of starving ghosts?
Doctor Jiang saw that everyone was looking at him and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Don't look at it anymore. The soup has already gone into my stomach. No one can take it away from me now."
Shopkeepers Cheng and Liu shook their heads helplessly.
While they were staring at each other, Lin Yiran quickly grabbed a crab and started eating it.
The crabs soaked in Lingquan water are delicious. How can you describe them in one word? Fresh.
During this dynasty, crabs were only available in the south due to inconvenient transportation.
In the north, except for dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, it is difficult to have the opportunity to eat it, let alone others.
The fact that I can enjoy such delicious food is entirely thanks to Shopkeeper Cheng.
This also shows how powerful Manager Cheng is.
"Ran girl, can you eat crabs?" Manager Liu's sudden question scared Lin Yiran.
"Is this difficult?"
“Isn’t it difficult?”
The questions and answers between the two made Manager Cheng and Doctor Jiang laugh.
Seeing Lin Yiran eating with relish, several people picked up a crab each. Manager Liu broke off a leg and bit it gently.
Squeeze out the crab meat and taste it carefully, "Why does the crab meat today feel different from before?
The meat is more delicate, the taste is more delicious, and there is a faint fragrance.
After eating it, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth for a long time. "
The Lin family is really good at cooking!
Just as I finished sighing, I found that there was no crab left on the plate.
He looked around and was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
There were actually three crabs in Lao Jiang’s bowl. No, to be more precise, there were three crabs piled up.
Old Cheng and Ran girl each had two.
Shopkeeper Liu couldn't stand it anymore and yelled without caring about his image: "Lao Jiang, why did you put all the crabs in your bowl? Give me one."
Doctor Jiang immediately protected his bowl when he heard this, "Don't even think about it, you can only blame yourself for being too slow. Don't blame others." He had a look on his face that said, "What can you do to me?"
Shopkeeper Liu was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
“You…you…you,”
Manager Liu was furious, but he had no way to deal with him.
Lin Yiran was also drunk when she saw the two people arguing with each other over the two crabs.
He quickly took a crab from the bowl and placed it in front of Manager Liu.
"Uncle Liu, I'll give you this crab. I can't eat so much."
When Shopkeeper Liu saw the crabs handed over by Ran Yatou, he thought of the scene where he and Lao Jiang were fighting over the crabs just now.
His old face turned red, and he quickly refused, "No need, girl, you didn't eat much just now, most of it was eaten by us.
You need to eat more when you are growing.”
Lin Yiran chuckled, "I kept a trick in mind, in case the scramble just now happened again, so I put one more in the bowl.
I’ll give it to whoever grabs less in the end.”
"You are such a smart girl. It would be great if I could have a daughter like you!" Shopkeeper Liu sighed.
"Although you are a little old, Old Liu, if you try harder, it is possible to have another daughter!" Doctor Jiang teased Shopkeeper Liu while eating crabs.
"You...you did this on purpose."
Shopkeeper Liu was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Eat the crabs quickly, Uncle Liu. Eating them if they're cold will cause a cold stomach." Lin Yiran put the crabs into Shopkeeper Liu's bowl.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the crabs in the bowl and felt warm in his heart. It had been a long time since anyone had cared about him so much.
My son only asks me for money and never cares whether I have eaten or whether I am in good health.
Manager Liu suddenly had an idea. If he adopted Ran as his adopted daughter,
Not only will the cooperative relationship between the two companies become more unbreakable, but you can also enjoy the care and concern of a caring little friend.
It would be great to have the best of both worlds! I just don’t know if the Lin family will agree.
"Okay, I'll eat. It's been a while since anyone cared about me like this. I almost forgot what it feels like to be cared about." Shopkeeper Liu choked up.
After hearing what Manager Liu said, Doctor Jiang felt a little regretful that he had argued with him.
He knew Lao Liu's family situation. His wife died during childbirth, so it was inevitable that he spoiled the son that his wife had given birth to with great effort.
Because she was afraid that her son would be bullied by his stepmother, she remained single and never remarried.
The son, who had always been cherished as a treasure, became more and more crooked as he grew up. He was sent to a school, but he refused to obey the teacher's discipline and even broke the teacher's head. He was expelled from school by the dean.
Old Liu did not give up. He thought his son might not have the talent for studying, so he sent him to a martial arts school to learn martial arts.
But after just a few days, he ran back crying and refusing to go again.
Now he is idle all day long, hanging out in casinos and brothels. Manager Liu is very worried about him, and his white hair is growing on his head rapidly.
Lin Yiran felt sad when she saw the sad face of Shopkeeper Liu, and couldn't help but sigh that every family has its own problems.
"Uncles, have a bowl of corn soup while it's hot, it's delicious!
I also made the corn soup, please give me some thanks!" Lin Yiran said with a smile as he served a bowl to everyone.
Shopkeeper Cheng was moved when he saw Lin Yiran trying to adjust the atmosphere. This child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
He took the lead in picking up a bowl of corn soup and said with a smile: "Ran girl's cooking must be delicious, Uncle Cheng should try it."
Although I had seen Ran Yatou's cooking skills a long time ago, I was still amazed.
It tastes sweet and smooth. I just ate so many spicy dishes that my throat feels a little uncomfortable.
After drinking the corn soup, I felt that the discomfort had completely disappeared, and was replaced by a warm and comfortable feeling that warmed my limbs.
All the tiredness I had felt for the past few days was swept away.
Shopkeeper Cheng was so shocked that he could no longer sit still. How...how was this bowl of corn soup made and why did it have such magical effects?
The Lin family gave him so many surprises today.
Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Jiang here have the same feeling.
Doctor Jiang's eyes were shining as he looked at Lin Yiran inconspicuously.
Others don’t know that as a doctor, my sensitivity to smell is several times higher than that of ordinary people.
The warm current in the body slowly nourishes the eight extraordinary meridians, allowing his increasingly dilapidated body to regain vitality.
What kind of opportunity did I get? He looked at his two friends.
I am just benefiting from both of them.
The Lin family is repaying Lao Cheng and Lao Liu for saving them.
But this is too generous. Do they know what a heaven-defying existence they have?
If discovered by people with ulterior motives, the Lin family would suffer a devastating disaster.
Wait, Doctor Jiang suddenly had an idea and remembered that he had asked Ran girl after taking the pulse of the two wounded soldiers.
When they were given something to drink or eat, Ran Yatou said that she only gave them two bowls of water.
Yes, they must have recovered quickly by drinking this magical water.
Finally figured out the connection. It seems that the Lin family also knew that this magical water would definitely bring disaster once it appeared in the world.
But in order to repay his savior, he still took the risk and used his most precious holy water to help them regulate their bodies.
They were afraid that the effect would be too amazing and be discovered, so they took great pains to dilute the magic water and secretly put it in corn soup for them to drink.
There was a reason why Doctor Jiang thought the drug should be diluted before being given to them to drink.
The two wounded soldiers were so badly injured, but after drinking that magical thing their internal injuries were almost healed in an instant.
At this rate, he should have fully recovered by now.
I just felt a slight warm current flowing through my body, which had a slight repairing effect on my aging organs.
Even so, it is something that can only be encountered by chance.
If you want to confirm whether this idea is correct, just take your pulse before you leave.
Lin Yiran didn't know that her secret had been discovered, but fortunately she met Doctor Jiang.
Doctor Jiang is an upright and kind person. He has been obsessed with medicine all his life and aspires to become a miracle doctor like Bian Que and Hua Tuo.
In order to improve his medical skills, he even resigned from his position as director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
He traveled across mountains and rivers to seek out local famous doctors to learn medical skills.
Make up for your shortcomings.
This attitude of not being ashamed to ask questions and studying hard made his medical skills advance by leaps and bounds.
He deserves the title of contemporary miracle doctor.
But he is a low-key person and came to this remote town to stay temporarily, so not many people know him.
Although Shopkeeper Cheng and Shopkeeper Liu did not know what was special about this corn soup, they were all amazed at the superb cooking skills of Lin Yiran and her daughter.
Shopkeeper Cheng suddenly had the idea of buying Lin's mother's cooking recipes.
This thought could not be suppressed no matter how hard he tried. Once these dishes appeared in Xiangmanlou, one could imagine what kind of sensation they would cause!
It is better to act than to think, so Manager Cheng asked straight to the point: "Ran girl, please discuss with your family whether you can sell these dishes to us at Xiang Man Lou?
Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly on the price.
I want all the recipes for the dishes on the table today. If your family agrees to sell them, I will pay 2000 taels."
