Chapter 44: A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but I am not a gentleman
When rescuing Teacher Xu Fei, Chen Lang actually already had a preliminary plan in mind, but in order to realize this plan, he needed to find an experienced doctor.
Originally, Xu Fei wanted to wait until the old doctor recovered before asking him for help.
After all, it is a life-saving favor. Even if doing this may affect Ping Zhilin's reputation, the old man will most likely agree to it.
And with Ping Zhilin's reputation and influence in the county, the fact that he was the most experienced doctor among them accompanying Chen Lang in acting raised his credibility to the maximum.
"I don't know what Brother Chen wants me to do? Feel free to tell me!" Xu Fei asked.
Chen Lang briefly explained his plan.
Xu Fei pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Chen Lang said, "Brother Xu, if it's too difficult, then forget it. I'll think of other ways."
Xu Fei shook his head. "Brother Chen, you misunderstood. I will definitely help you with this. I was just wondering what combination of medicines would achieve the same effect as a venomous snake bite."
"Brother Chen, this medicine is a bit difficult for me to prepare. It's best to wait until the teacher fully recovers and let him take the lead in preparing it. That way, there will be no risk."
"I just don't know if you're willing to wait?"
Chen Lang said calmly: "I have waited for so many years, these few days won't make a difference."
Xu Fei said, "Then Brother Chen, please come back later."
Chen Lang bowed, "I'll take care of everything."
After leaving Pingzhilin, Chen Lang first went to the market and bought some offal to use as bait for his crab traps. Then he went to the bank and exchanged a fifteen-liang silver note.
Silver ingots are definitely not as easy to hide as silver bills, and they are also very heavy when carried in your pocket.
Finally, Chen Lang bought some preserved fruits and pastries at the grocery store, some pig's trotters at the vegetable market, and half a pound of Yulouchun at the wine shop.
He put several bamboo baskets together, padded them with oil paper, put the things in, and carried them out of the city.
After arriving at the river and putting down the crab cage, Chen Lang returned to the official road, waited for an incense stick of time, got a ride, and headed straight for Shanghe Village.
After entering Shanghe Village, Chen Lang continued with yesterday's plan, enthusiastically greeting everyone he met. Compared to yesterday, there were obviously many more people willing to chat with Chen Lang today.
Chen Lang also specially got a small bag of preserved fruits in his hand and gave one to every child he saw.
The reason for doing this is to allow Guoguo to make more friends in Shanghe Village in the coming period.
Even if they can't make friends, these little brats took their preserved fruits. They can't laugh at Guoguo and say her dad is a jerk, right?
By the time Chen Lang arrived at Li Xiaohu's house, all the preserved fruits in the basket had been distributed.
Guoguo leaned against the door frame, looking forward to it.
Just now, several children ran to her door and told her that her father was distributing preserved fruits.
Guoguo wanted to go out, but Li Xiuzhi wouldn't let him, so he could only stand at the door, waiting for his father to come.
"Daddy!"
After seeing Chen Lang, Guoguo flew over and bumped into his arms.
Chen Lang bent down and picked up his daughter, then spun around in circles and laughed out loud, "Let's fly!"
Guoguo's laughter, like the spring breeze and drizzle, drifted in all directions.
"Okay, get off Daddy quickly." Li Xiuzhi came forward and said, "Daddy is tired."
Guoguo jumped to the ground obediently, and then said, "Daddy, I want to eat preserved fruit too."
Chen Lang said: "Oh, they've all been sent out, no more."
Guoguo's little face was immediately filled with disappointment, and her little mouth even turned up.
Li Xiuzhi tapped her forehead and said, "You're always thinking about snacks. Why aren't you so serious when eating?"
Chen Lang took out a bag from his backpack and said, "Look, what is this?"
Guoguo took it and looked at it, then said in surprise: "Sugar man, it's a sugar man!"
"Oh, Daddy is the best!"
Chen Lang rubbed his daughter's head and said, "Go ahead, you and Lanlan will each have one."
Guoguo ran towards Li Lanlan with the candy man in hand: "Sister Lanlan, my dad bought some candy men, come quickly!"
Li Xiuzhi said helplessly, "You, don't spoil her so much. Buying her all kinds of snacks every day is not a good habit to develop."
Chen Lang smiled and said, "Men earn money for their wives and children, right?"
"You have to use it yourself." Li Xiuzhi glanced down at Chen Lang's shoes: "Look at you, your shoes are torn and your toes are exposed."
Chen Lang then realized that his shoes were torn. He scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Xiuzhi, can you help me fix it later?"
Li Xiuzhi said, "I made you a pair of new shoes these past two days. Take off your old shoes and I'll mend them for you so you can wear the new ones."
Chen Lang nodded happily.
As soon as Chen Lang sat down in the yard, Li Xiuzhi brought him a basin of hot water for washing his feet.
"Soak your feet first." Li Xiuzhi squatted in front of Chen Lang and naturally wanted to wash his feet.
Chen Lang hurriedly said, "Xiuzhi, I'll do it myself."
After saying that, he winked and said, "Chunhua is watching."
Li Xiuzhi then realized that this was not her home. She was immediately embarrassed and walked away with Chen Lang's old shoes, her face red.
The face of Zhao Chunhua, a bystander, was full of regret.
Soaking your feet is indeed a very good way to relieve fatigue. After running for a while, Chen Lang felt that all the pores on his body were opened.
"Guoguo, help daddy get the foot towel." Chen Lang shouted.
A moment later, Guoguo ran over with a foot towel in one hand and new shoes in the other.
"Daddy, let me help you wipe your feet!" Guoguo knelt directly on the ground, picked up Chen Lang's feet, wiped them carefully, and then put on new shoes.
Chen Lang was deeply moved. It is said that a daughter is like a father's little cotton-padded jacket, and it is absolutely true.
Chen Erlang, oh Chen Erlang, how could you bear to hit Guoguo back then?
Such a lovely girl should be held in your hands like a treasure!
After wiping his father's feet, Guoguo grunted and carried the basin to pour water.
Chen Lang carried the bamboo basket and walked towards the kitchen.
Zhao Chunhua hurriedly stood up and walked over: "Brother-in-law, are you hungry? I'll go cook for you, sit down and rest for a while."
Chen Lang smiled and said, "I'll cook dinner tonight."
After that, he showed Zhao Chunhua the big pig's trotter he had bought: "Today, my brother-in-law will show you his cooking skills. It will definitely make you scream with satisfaction!"
Zhao Chunhua was completely dumbfounded and asked, "Brother-in-law, can you cook?"
"Don't scholars pay attention to something...a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen?"
Chen Lang said, "It's true that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but the real meaning of this sentence is not to tell men not to cook, but to tell gentlemen not to kill easily."
"But I'm not a gentleman, and I don't kill any animals. The pig this pig belonged to was killed by a butcher, so it has nothing to do with me."
