Chapter 151 Candy and braised food
"Is Aunt Gu at home?"
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door of a courtyard.
"Hey, here we come."
Aunt Gu wiped her hands on her apron and opened the courtyard door to let people in.
"Hongfei, why are you here?"
Yi Hongfei smiled and waved the leaf bag in his hand, "Doctor Wen is giving you a New Year's gift."
Aunt Gu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly took the leaf bag and unfolded it. When she saw the contents inside, she shouted: "Xiaoxi, Xiaohe, come out quickly, Doctor Wen is here to bring us delicious food!"
The package is not big, but the things inside are very thoughtful.
The two children ran out quickly and shouted around Ye Bao: "Ah, this is a rabbit, this is a tiger, and there are bears here."
"It's so sweet and delicious!"
Aunt Gu also picked up a piece of biscuit and ate it. It looked hard but was very crispy and fragrant in the mouth. It was salty on the outside and actually had mashed banana inside. No wonder the children loved it so much.
In addition to biscuits, there are also crystal clear candies, which are also made into animal shapes. Those animals look round and very cute.
"Thank you so much, Doctor Wen. We love this New Year's gift very much."
Yi Hongfei smiled and said: "Master said that when Sang Ao made a big fuss in Pingxiba, it was thanks to your help that she will always remember this feeling."
Aunt Gu smiled even more happily when she heard this. She also hesitated at the time. She just saw many people with their faces covered and thought that they might not be recognized by Sang Ao's group, so she dared to rush forward. Of course, she was also greedy. A gift package that someone else received before.
Unexpectedly, she not only received a big gift package, but also received a New Year's gift. This miracle doctor Wen was just remembering old friendship, and he really made a lot of money by helping her.
Aunt Gu's family is wealthy. Since the construction of Black Rock City, she has bought several yards. She lives in the older one herself and rents out the younger ones. She can collect a lot of rent every month. In addition, she opened a snack shop, and her life is... It was a very comfortable time.
Today, these two items, not to mention her shop, even the one in the Zhendian Pavilion in the city cannot compare. Such pastries and candies are sold at high prices and many people buy them.
Thinking of this, Aunt Gu asked, "Does Divine Doctor Wen want to sell these pastries?"
Yi Hongfei knew that she wanted to sell it on behalf of him, so he shook his head and said: "Pingxiba has already gone on holiday. Even if there is no holiday, Master said that this is a New Year's gift for everyone and will not be sold to outsiders."
Aunt Gu was disappointed at first when she heard this, but soon became happy again. If she didn't take out food, it meant that only the people who worked in Pingxiba and those who helped before had it. It was considered a special existence and could be used to show off to the sisters.
Over there, the fat aunt was pushing a cart and delivering things to people.
Her family had some difficulties before. When she couldn't find a job, she even helped people wash clothes. This thing sounds simple, but it is actually very tiring. Only people who live extremely difficult lives can do it. She also got to know many poor people. .
Some families made some money by having their children become newsboys, but there were not many newsboys, and there were still many children who could hardly open the pot at home. This time the kitchen made braised meat. After she took people to pack it, she found that there was still a lot left, so she told Wen Yunxi I asked for it and sent it specially to these families.
"Fat aunt, what's in your car? It smells so good."
As soon as we walked outside the courtyard on East Street, several dirty and thin children gathered around us. Children are very sensitive and can distinguish other people's attitudes towards them. The fat aunt is always happy with them and often gives them some. When it comes to food, they all like Fat fat aunt put down the cart and wiped her sweat. She smiled at the group of children and said, "This is good stuff. Say hello to me and bring back a few bowls."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" The child who asked the question jumped away and ran away. The other children followed and quickly spread the news.
In a moment, the fat aunt was surrounded by people. She raised her hands and shouted: "We have them all, get in line."
After saying this, she opened the lid of the barrel. The smell that was already tempting people became more intense, and there was a sudden swallowing sound.
Although they were so greedy that they were drooling, no one messed up the team. Even though the fat aunt was having fun all day long, she couldn't be offended. Anyone who dared to mess around would definitely be beaten up by her with a spoon.
The fat aunt did her job neatly and tidily. She put the spoons together and filled half of the bowl. Then she poured a spoonful of soup into the bowl and then waved people away.
She divides the food by head. No matter what the family situation is, each person has half a bowl. If the bowl is too small, it can be filled. If the bowl is too much, it will not be filled more.
One child couldn't wait to eat it, and as soon as it entered his mouth, he happily asked his mother to eat it too. The mother and son were full of praise for the food.
Wen Yunxi made braised meat this time. Although most of it was made from pork, he couldn't collect that much pork in a short time, so there was still a lot of pork, pork bones, chicken and duck meat in it. Some people were lucky enough to get a big pig ear in the bowl. , some people are unlucky enough to only have pork liver and lungs, so the fat aunt will give that family a few more candies as a supplement.
Although the courtyard occupies a small area, it is crowded with many families. The fat aunt pushed four big buckets over, but in the end not even the soup was left. Even the wooden buckets were taken back and washed with water, and the four big buckets were full. , leave cleanly.
"Auntie, I also want to work in Pingxiba."
The woman covered her mouth and coughed, touched her daughter's head, and said with a wry smile: "Silly boy, you are too young, how can you accept it?"
Her daughter had not eaten well since she was a child. At the age of ten, she was still no taller than a child of seven or eight years old. No one wanted to find work wherever she went. It was also her fault that she, a mother, was in poor health and was dragging down the child. Her husband left early, so she only I can help people wash clothes and buy some groceries to live on.
"Hey, why haven't you gone to Qingzhu Hospital to treat your illness?"
The old woman was holding two large bowls full of food and looked at the coughing woman in surprise.
The woman shook her head and touched her daughter's withered hair, "How can I afford treatment?"
"Oh, you are serious. Didn't the newspaper say before that poor people can apply for charity treatment? Many people have gone there. They really don't accept money and go home empty-handed with large and small bags of food."
The old woman raised her hand and pointed at the middle-aged man, "No, he was hit by a stone and broke his leg when he was building Black Stone City. He lay at home for several years. When he heard the news, he rushed to Qingzhu Hospital and was treated by Divine Doctor Wen personally. He prayed for help. The medicine has restored his leg. Look at his leg, I heard it works better than before it was broken."
Seeing the woman's eyes widening, the old woman pointed to another person, "She hurt her body after giving birth and couldn't even get out of bed. She was taken to Qingzhu Hospital. Although she missed Doctor Wen, she was admitted to the hospital by her apprentice. After staying there for more than ten days, not only can I walk around, but I have also grown whiter and fatter. I didn’t spend any money. I heard that I even came back wearing a set of fine cloth clothes, and I actually made a lot of money.”
The woman was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a while, she said: "But...but before Yishengtang..."
"Bah, don't mention those evil-hearted dogs. The man named Zhang doesn't even dare to leave the door now, and Yishengtang can't be opened at all. People throw excrement at him as soon as he opens."
"I advise you to go there as soon as possible. Doctor Wen said he won't take the money if he doesn't want it. Don't worry. Your family's situation is so difficult. You might still be able to find work there. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your daughter. Think about it."
After the old woman finished speaking, she left with the braised food. She had said everything that needed to be said. If she still didn't believe it, there was nothing she could do.
