Chapter 96 Selling and Giving Away
He Daqing knew very well that Yan Bugui from the front yard was best at scheming.
If you are not careful, you will have to pay for all these local specialties here, so you might as well just mark the price and forget about buying.
Yan Bugui, who was just about to take advantage of the situation and make some money, froze on his face when he heard that He Daqing was going to sell these local specialties to him.
Good man, we are neighbors, shouldn't you just give it to me to share? Why are you selling it to me?
He Daqing, He Daqing, when did you become so shameless? Even thicker than me!
"No, no, I don't have that blessing!"
Yan Bugui laughed awkwardly and prepared to turn around and leave.
Strangely enough, Yan Bugui could take advantage of anyone at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, except He Daqing, who failed every time he tried.
It’s really evil!
"Cough cough..."
At this moment, a series of coughing sounds came from Yan's house.
He Daqing blinked and asked casually,
"Is there anyone in the family who has a cold?"
Yan Bugui nodded and sighed helplessly,
"It's because Jiecheng and Jiefang played too wildly these days and didn't even bother to put on clothes. Both brothers have a fever."
At this point, Yan Bugui's face turned sad.
"Boys are hard to bring up and don't listen to discipline. Look, it's been two days and he has a fever every night. I'm really worried about him!"
Yan Bugui originally thought that the children were strong and would get over it after a while, but it has been two days and both children are still sick and the fever has not subsided. If things go wrong, it will cost a lot of money again!
When Yan Bugui thought of this, he felt pain in his heart.
It's the New Year, and I'm not at all worry-free.
"Hey, Lao Yan, now you have to buy my free-range eggs!"
When He Daqing heard this, he immediately grabbed Yan Bugui and took out the eggs from his pocket.
"I'll tell you a folk remedy. Take the egg home and boil it. After it's cooked, take out the egg yolk and fry it in an iron pan until oil comes out. Then let the children take it. I tell you, the child will stop coughing and have a fever immediately!"
In traditional Chinese medicine, egg yolk oil has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It can not only clear lung heat, but also can be applied externally for disinfection. Moreover, the preparation method and ingredients are also simple. It can be said to be a simple and practical medicine.
"Is this...serious?"
Yan Bugui, who was feeling depressed, couldn't help but become curious when he heard He Daqing's idea.
"Of course!"
He Daqing glared at Yan Bugui.
"If you don't believe me, you can just try it. Two eggs don't cost much anyway. It's cheaper than going to the pharmacy to get medicine, right?"
"This……"
When Yan Bugui heard this, he immediately started to plan something in his mind.
Yes, if you go to the pharmacy to get medicine, you have to buy several prescriptions. If you calculate it, it is very expensive.
But He Daqing's method is different. It's just two eggs. If it's useless, he can afford the loss. But if it's useful, he will make a lot of money!
"Okay, I'll lend you two eggs first and try. I'll return them to you later..."
Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and fixed his eyes on the egg in He Daqing's hand.
His family also bought eggs before the New Year, but unfortunately they didn't buy many and they were all eaten. Now that the eggs are right in front of him, he might as well use them.
"Yan Bugui, I should call you Yan Laokou!"
He Daqing was furious when he heard this.
"Your child is so sick, but you are still reluctant to spend money. You are too irresponsible as a father. Forget it. I don't want to meddle in your family's affairs."
Having said that, he turned around and left, not bothering to pay attention to Yan Bugui.
He Daqing knew that Yan Bugui was good at scheming, but he still underestimated this guy at this time. The child was so sick, but he still wanted to take advantage of him. He was really... hopeless!
"Hey, wait, wait!"
At this time, Yan Bugui was completely convinced by He Daqing's words.
After all, it is said that Yi Zhonghai and his wife from the Central Court cured their years of infertility by eating the medicinal diet prepared by He Daqing. That is a real example!
He Daqing shouldn't let himself down!
Besides, I can still afford two eggs.
"Well, give me five eggs and I'll try!"
Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and took out money from his pocket. First, to treat the brothers, and second, the local eggs in He Daqing's hand were really fresh. He wanted to taste the eggs after seeing them.
"That's pretty much it."
He Daqing snorted and took five cents from Yan Laokou with tears in his eyes.
Although the eggs were given to him for free by Qin Jingru's mother, it was not easy for him and Qin Huairu to carry them all the way and earn only five cents!
With one hand he handed over the money and with the other hand he received the goods. He Daqing took the money and took Qin Huairu to the central courtyard.
After returning to the countryside for a few days, I found that the Intermediate Court had also undergone considerable changes.
The Jia family in the west room is obviously in a mess.
Apart from tidying up the burnt wood, there was not much change. However, the cabinets and other things inside were emptied by Jia Zhang and her son.
It seemed that the Jia family’s house could not be repaired in a short period of time, so they all moved to the large courtyard where Xu Youliang lived.
As for Yi Zhonghai's house, the windows were repaired by Xu Youliang. Unfortunately, because the glass shop was not open yet, Yi Zhonghai simply pasted them with paper and covered the outside with the template provided by Xu Youliang.
In this way, the window was barely repaired, but the whole house of Yi Zhonghai became darker.
Yi Zhonghai, who was basking in the sun in the yard, saw He Daqing and Qin Huairu coming back. He immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"Brother He, sister-in-law, you are back!"
This time the house caught fire, it was all thanks to He Daqing's help.
Moreover, during the days that He Daqing returned to his hometown, his wife Tao Huilan had been living in He Daqing's house because their own house was being renovated, which made Yi Zhonghai quite embarrassed.
The doors and windows have been repaired today. Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to let his wife go home, but Tao Huilan refused to come back, saying that she couldn't stand the smell in the house. Now that He Daqing and his wife have returned, Yi Zhonghai has become even more embarrassed.
"Brother He, this is the situation, you see..."
Yi Zhonghai looked at the two of them with an embarrassed expression.
"What a big deal!"
He Daqing took a look at Yi Zhonghai's house. The east room originally did not receive much sunlight, and now with wooden boards on it, there was no light at all. Living in it was like living in a prison. Who would want to live there?
What's more, Tao Huilan was still a pregnant woman at that time.
He Daqing waved his hand and said casually,
"My house is empty anyway, so let Huilan live there first. It won't be too late to go back once your house is completely finished."
"Old Yi, Huilan is pregnant, please understand!"
"Here, these are the local specialties I just brought back from Huairu's house. Take a look and take whatever you like!"
As he spoke, He Daqing placed the local specialties directly in front of Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai was already embarrassed enough for having benefited so much from He Daqing. Now that He Daqing wanted to give him local specialties, he didn't feel comfortable taking them for free.
But He Daqing was so enthusiastic that it would be awkward for him to refuse.
"I have enough eggs, but Huilan likes to eat dates. Brother He, I want your dates. Take this money!"
As he spoke, he took the red dates from He Daqing with one hand and stuffed the money into He Daqing's hand with the other.
Fearing that He Daqing would not want it, Yi Zhonghai took the red dates and turned around and left!
