Chapter 499: Regret so much that my intestines are blue

After Qiao Ran finished eating, she was surrounded by a group of ladies and ladies. Some asked about whitening pills and fitness pills, some wanted to order Bishuiyu first, some asked if she could see a doctor for them or their family members, and some even asked her if she could treat them or their family members. Some asked for recipes.

Qiao Ran really didn't like dealing with so many people. Fortunately, the ghost doctor, who had eaten a lot of fruit with relish after dinner, came over and wanted to continue asking the master questions.

Only then did everyone reluctantly let Qiao Ran leave.

After the banquet, Qiao Ran not only received a dozen orders for Bishui Fish, but also more than 20 orders for whitening pills and body-building pills. There were also several people who hired her with huge sums of money to treat their family members.

Qiao Ran's background as a peasant girl seemed so insignificant under the aura of her superb medical skills, which even made ghost doctors a disciple.

It can be said that because of the commotion in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiao Ran made her debut even more brilliantly. Let all the nobles in the capital know that the cousin of the General's Mansion is a medical prodigy that even the ghost doctor deeply admires, so that no one dares to underestimate her.

I wonder if Prime Minister Zhang and Miss Zhang Er will regret it if they find out that they were responsible for all this.

Qiao Ran didn't care how regretful the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were after they returned, as long as she felt no regrets.

Qiao Ran was also very happy when she heard that her haircut ceremony would be held on the eighth day of next month together with her grandma's fiftieth birthday.

She silently considered the fruits and snacks in the space, as well as some dishes that were not available in this era, to see how she could hold an unforgettable birthday banquet to make her grandma happy.

Thinking of birthday banquets, Qiao Ran couldn't help but think of cakes.

When modern people celebrate birthdays, cake has almost become the standard.

There were no birthday cakes in this era. Although there were chicken cakes for sale, they were simply made of eggs mixed with flour and steamed in a pot. What came out of the pot was a very elastic pastry like red date cake.

There is no modern Western-style cake that is spongy, soft and melts in your mouth.

Qiao Ran liked to eat desserts in her previous life. When she had a whim, she would make some cakes and breads to eat. Making them by herself was fresher and more reliable.

Thinking that she still had some cake-making materials in her space, Qiao Ran decided to make a five-layer birthday cake for her grandma.

As for her birthday cake, Qiao Ran decided to make a smaller one with three layers.

The five-layer cake she made for her grandma was to be eaten by the guests at the General's Mansion, while the three-layer cake she made for herself, Qiao Ran decided to leave to the villagers to taste.

She would have to ask her mother later, when is grandma's birthday? When the time comes, I will also make a five-layer cake for grandma. Don’t favor one over the other!

When the guests dispersed in the afternoon, Mrs. Qiao and the ghost doctor took Qiao Dong and Qiao Bei, who were still going to school, back in the carriage driven by Qiao Erhe.

Qiao Ran was persuaded by her grandfather and grandmother to stay, and she and her mother stayed in the General's Mansion for two more days.

Most of the dozens of blue-water fish raised in the small pond at the general's residence were bought by the military generals.

General Zheng felt a little distressed. Qiao Ran promised to send him a bucket in a few days, and he became happy again.

Mrs. Zheng shook her head after seeing this. This old man was becoming more and more like a child, and he even asked his granddaughter to coax him.

Qiao Ran thought that Mo Shizi had ordered two buckets of fish from her, and decided to go to Bishuitan to catch a few more buckets of fish in four days.

One barrel was kept at home, one barrel was given to grandpa, and two barrels were sold to Mo Shizi.

On the third day after the banquet, Qiao Ran hitched a carriage and drove the carriage back with her mother.

However, when I returned home, I found that the atmosphere at home was a bit dull.

Grandma's face didn't look good, but she still managed to smile and welcome them home.

When the third uncle and the third aunt saw her coming back, they greeted her with a smile and helped move things, but the second uncle looked away when he saw her and his face was a little stiff.

Qiao Ran was surprised. She hadn't been back for a few days. What happened at home?

Qiao Ran could only ask her third aunt quietly, and Lin Guizhen told her in a low voice:

"Two days ago, when your second uncle went to the city to pick up your grandma, he was stopped by someone at the city gate. That person was your second aunt's eldest brother. He heard that we lived in Devil's Valley and had been looking for him for a long time. Your second aunt is asking for money. This time she went to the city to buy medicine. Unexpectedly, she ran into your second uncle at the gate of the city. The two of them started talking. Only then did your second uncle know that your second aunt was not with her parents' family. Come here to escape."

After the third aunt's narration, Qiao Ran finally understood why the atmosphere at home was so dull.

It turned out that Qiao Erhe drove a carriage into the city that day and picked up my mother, ghost doctor and two nephews to go home with them.

Unexpectedly, the carriage was stopped when it just left the city gate.

The person blocking the carriage was Li Cuihua's eldest brother Li Dagou. It turned out that his mother was ill and he was going to the city to buy medicine. Unexpectedly, he met his brother-in-law at the city gate.

When he saw his brother-in-law driving a very impressive carriage out of the city, he immediately stopped the carriage.

Li Dagou said that he would follow Qiao Erhe back to the village to find her sister to get some money to buy medicine for her old mother. Only then did Qiao Erhe know that Li Cuihua was not looking for her mother's family at the beginning. She did not go to Zhongzhou with them, and she didn't know where she was. where.

Li Dagou didn't believe that Li Cuihua didn't follow the people from Qingshui Village, so he insisted on following them back to find his sister.

Qiao Erhe had no choice but to bring the people back. Unexpectedly, when Li Dagou arrived at the place, he saw that although these people lived in tents, they had everything they needed.

The corner of the tent was even filled with all kinds of beautiful fabrics and quilts, as well as a lot of food and delicious food.

At this glance, Li Dagou felt unbalanced.

They endured hunger and cold all the way to escape the famine, and their money had long been used up. They had almost nothing except the clothes that could barely keep out the cold.

The people from Lijia Village originally planned to stop and settle in Luoyang Fucheng, but the Li family heard that a famine team named Qingshui Village passed through Luoyang Fucheng and continued to Zhongzhou.

Based on the rumors they heard along the way, they guessed that it might be Qingshui Village where their daughter-in-law's family was located, so they tried their best to persuade the villagers to follow the traces of Qingshui Village and reach Zhongzhou.

However, after finally arriving in Zhongzhou, the government assigned him to a mountain village in a poor county with poor mountains and rivers and unruly people.

The Li family built a thatched shed and lived there. By picking wild vegetables and wrapping their bellies with leaves, they worked hard to open up a few acres of wasteland and planted some crops randomly.

The old lady of the Li family fell ill not long after, but she never had money to ask a doctor to buy medicine, so she could only postpone it until now.

It wasn't until Li Dagou and Li Ergou killed a wild boar in the mountains a few days ago and sold it for a few taels of silver that they had the money to come to the city to get medicine for their mother.

This was the second time he came to the city to grab medicine. Unexpectedly, he met his brother-in-law at the gate of the city.

In fact, when they first arrived in Zhongzhou, the Li family found out that the people from Qingshui Village were resettled in Devil's Valley.

They originally planned to go to their sister to ask for money to spend, but they heard that the Devil's Valley was a terrible cannibal valley. Anyone who entered the valley would get sick and die, so they did not dare to go.

They thought that their sister's family would die in Devil's Valley, so they didn't pay attention anymore.

But I didn't expect that today I would see that my brother-in-law and mother-in-law are still well, and there is such a luxurious carriage, and there are so many good things at home.

Li Dagou regretted it so much that his intestines were blue.

If he had known that his brother-in-law's family was so rich, he should have come to them to ask for money earlier.
