The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang came out of North Street and took a detour to the East Street market, where he bought a pound of meat and a small, slightly wilted cucumber.

Nowadays, meat costs eighteen cents per pound, and a small wilted cucumber costs three cents. Under normal circumstances, cucumbers of this quality would cost two for one cent, and you would have to flatter the customer before they would buy them.

If Song Yuntang hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time, he would not have been willing to spend the money.

When he returned home with the meat and cucumbers and his medicine box on his back, Song Jinsheng and Mu Dong were still busy in the yard. Smoke was rising from the kitchen and Mu Qiu was cooking porridge.

"Tang'er is back."

Song Yuntang responded and poured water for the two of them. "The sun is strong, let's take a break first. After eating, rest for a while before continuing. Don't get too hot."

Song Jinsheng and Mu Dong wiped the sweat from their foreheads, took the water handed to them by Song Yuntang and drank it all, then sat down under the eaves together.

Song Yuntang was not idle either. He washed the cucumber and meat and went to the kitchen.

When Mu Qiu saw her, he quickly took out the 900 coins he had collected from selling shampoo at the Jiang family today.

She had never carried so much money on her before, and she was so nervous all the way back to this courtyard from North Street today. Now that she gave the money to Song Yuntang, she felt relieved.

After Song Yuntang put away the nine hundred coins, she continued to work. She made a cold cucumber salad and cut the meat into thin slices. Since there were not many seasonings at home, she used a bowl to stir-fry the fat to produce lard, poured out some of the excess lard, put in the lean meat and fried it lightly, then added water to make a bowl of thick broth.

Sprinkle with salt flowers and the aroma will float in the air.

Song Jinsheng and Mu Dong, who were sitting outside to rest, were already hungry. Now they smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen and their saliva started watering.

"Second brother, Mudong, come and eat."

Because there was no table at home, the four of them still had lunch in the kitchen.

After eating and drinking, the sun was too strong, so everyone found a place to rest for a while. Song Yuntang sorted out his medicine box, took out a silver needle from it, put it in his sleeve, and went to Mu Dong's house.

Wu Wei had to continue with his acupuncture treatment every two days.

Now Song Yuntang not only saved Cui's life, but was also the head of her two children. When Cui saw her, she was naturally very enthusiastic.

"Miss Song is here, come in quickly."

Song Yuntang said politely, "Aunt, I'll give Wu Wei acupuncture."

After hearing this, Cui hurriedly called out to one of the rooms, "Wu Wei, Miss Song is here to give you acupuncture."

Hearing the sound, Tian and Wu Wei came out of the house at the same time, "Miss Song, why are you here when it's so hot?"

"I was busy this morning and had something else to do this afternoon, so I came here at this time. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Tian waved her hands quickly, "No, no, go inside, it's cooler inside."

Song Yuntang nodded and walked towards the main room.

"How's your vocal training going these days?"

"Much better."

Although Wu Wei still had some difficulty speaking, it was only because she had practiced too little. Now that she could make sounds, she was almost achieving the goal of her treatment.

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Your recovery is better than expected. After today, you can go home."

Tian was delighted.

"Will you not need acupuncture anymore?"

Although she was happy that her son could recover, she still felt the pain of spending more than a hundred cents for each injection.

The couple worked diligently all their lives, and not a single penny came from the wind.

Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "No need, but after we go back, we must guide him to speak more and pay attention to protecting his throat, so that he can recover faster."

Tian nodded quickly.

"Okay, I've got it all."

In fact, she really wanted to ask Song Yuntang again, since her son's muteness had been cured now, was there still a possibility for him and her.

But considering her superb medical skills, she felt that her family was a bit too high a target. She kept worrying about it until Song Yuntang finished the acupuncture and left, but she didn't have the courage to ask. Finally, she sighed and went into the house to pack up her and Wu Wei's things.

When Song Yuntang returned home, Song Jinsheng was already busy.

However, the wood was not placed in the yard where the sun was directly shining. Instead, the wood was dragged under the eaves, where it would block the sunlight and be slightly cooler.

"Why don't you take a rest?" Song Yuntang asked as he closed the gate.

"I just want to make you a table first. You always stand in the kitchen to eat, which is hot and smoky." Song Jinsheng said softly while comparing the wood in his hands. "It doesn't matter to us. We are thick-skinned, and your skin is so tender that it turns red when it gets hot. Don't let it burn you and cause you any problems."

Song Yuntang smiled and came under the eaves to help him pass things.

"Second brother, seeing you like this, I suddenly feel that my future sister-in-law will definitely be very happy."

Song Jinsheng stopped what he was doing, looked at her and said, "Since I'm so nice, why don't you find a partner like me?"

Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then Xu Qingye is not much different."

Song Jinsheng snorted, "I'm younger than him."

After saying that, he continued to work on his task.

Song Yuntang could not refute this.

"That's all."

"That's not the case." Song Jinsheng looked sideways at him, "My health is better than his."

Song Yuntang smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"After all, you still don't believe I can cure him."

"I believe it." Song Jinsheng stopped what he was doing again. "But just like what Mom and Dad said, it's also true that he was ill for so many years. Can you be sure that he's fine?"

Song Yuntang said lightly, "If there is any problem, I will treat it."

Choked by her words, Song Jinsheng didn't want to continue persuading her.

He put the four table legs aside and said, "As long as Xu Qingye treats you well, I will accept having such an old brother-in-law."

Hearing his reluctant words, Song Yuntang smiled and said nothing more.

……

At 2:15 pm, when the siblings Mu Dong and Mu Qiu arrived, Song Jinsheng's table was already ready.

The table is simple in style, without any fancy decorations, but it is made of solid materials and is very stable. Song Yuntang is quite satisfied with it.

After moving it to another room, putting two stools in it, and adding a table and chairs, this little home finally looked like what it was.

After Mu Dong and Mu Qiu arrived, they began to help Song Jinsheng make shelves. It was neither early nor late, and everyone was busy in the yard. It was not appropriate for Song Yuntang to go back to the house for a nap alone, so he took the silver and went to Baicaotang to buy some medicinal materials to make common medicines. Along the way, he also bought a few small porcelain bottles from the porcelain shop.

Because some medicinal materials are relatively precious, the cost this time was not small. Even after Manager Li gave Song Yuntang a discount, it still cost two taels and eight cents of silver.

After returning home, she began to make pills.

There are Duijin Pills that can be used in emergency situations, Angong Niuhuang Pills that can calm the nerves and open the orifices, and Dingxin Pills that can soothe the mind.

A little more Duijin Pills and Dingxin Pills were made because the materials of Angong Niuhuang Pills were really precious. Even if the purchased medicinal materials were used to the utmost, only two pills could be made.

In addition to pills, there are also Shengji Powder for treating injuries and ulcers, and Huangjin Powder for reducing swelling and relieving pain.

After preparing these herbs and putting them into the medicine box, he tried to make whitening pills, skin-rejuvenating pills and body fragrance pills by combining them with a small amount of other herbs he purchased.
