Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 179 Sachets
On Wednesday, it was the prescribed consultation time.

Early in the morning, Li Hongbing came to the infirmary on a black wind. He didn't come for two days. It seemed that the infirmary had changed.

The honeysuckle fence is neatly trimmed, and there is a horse hitch beside it. In front of the gate, a guardrail is made of wood, which is similar to a hospital queuing guide. Patients and their families stand in line inside the guardrail. A wooden sign is hung on the gate, which says The sitting time.

"Doctor Li, you are here."

"Hi Doctor Li, I'm Erdaogou soso."

"Doctor Li."

"plum…"

Chatting with the villagers, I learned that as long as I saw a person riding a black horse, it must be Li Hongbing, and the patients greeted him one after another.

After tying Heifeng to the horse stake, Li Hongbing smiled and nodded to the patients, and the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and Wu Guohua's complexion improved a lot, "Doctor Li, you are here."

"Angkor, hard work."

Wu Guohua naturally understood what Li Hongbing meant by hard work, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's okay to be idle, mess around, just don't blame me for being troublesome, and the honeysuckle tea is ready."

Go into the infirmary.

On the table are medical records, pulse pillows, paper and pens neatly arranged.

Old rules, drink some tea and rest assured.

Li Hongbing shouted towards the door, "The first one comes in."

An old man walked into the infirmary, and a busy day officially began.

Because there is only one day in a week.

There are a lot of patients who have accumulated, and they don't even have time to eat lunch. It is already 2 o'clock in the afternoon to send the last patient away.

Seeing that there were no more patients, Li Hongbing stood up and moved his stiff body. Wu Guohua walked into the infirmary with a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Doctor Li, seeing that you are so busy that you haven't even eaten a bite of rice, I cooked a bowl of noodles. If you don't mind, I'll take a bite."

When it comes to eating, Li Hongbing is really hungry.

He took the noodles and said, "I don't hate it. When I was young, I would work out of town and eat instant noodles every now and then. Then I just wish I had a bowl of hot noodles."

After speaking, holding the bowl, Gu Gu Lu Lu began to eat.

After eating the noodles, he returned the bowl to Wu Guohua. Wu Guohua who took the bowl did not leave, but looked hesitant.

"Angkor, what's the matter?" Li Hongbing asked.

"Well...well, I rented a house in the village and I plan to move out today."

"Good thing, whose house is renting?"

"Uncle Shuisheng's house is a side room with water, electricity, and a kitchen. It only costs 5 yuan a day."

"Okay, would you like me to help you move things?"

"No, no, what, I'm thinking about moving out, and I'll come to clean every day in the future, see if it's okay."

That's it!
Seeing Wu Guohua's grateful and pleading eyes, Li Hongbing couldn't bear to refuse, and immediately agreed, "If it doesn't bother you, I'll thank you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Wu Guohua happily walked out of the infirmary with the bowl in hand.

Ugh!
He is a sincere person.

Li Hongbing shook his head, put away the medical records, took the needle case, walked to the next hut and said.

"Angkor, I'm off work. If there is an urgent patient, go to the village committee and call me."

"Understood." Wu Guohua's response came from the cabin.

Horse stakes outside the yard.

Heifeng lowered his head to eat the honeysuckle on the fence, and when he saw Li Hongbing coming out, he shook his head and snorted, as if to say why he came out only now.

Li Hongbing looked at the fence that had been gnawed to a large extent, untied the reins, and got on his horse.

"Go home, no racing."

When I returned to the old house, I heard women chatting and laughing as soon as I entered the door.

Walking into the yard curiously, sisters-in-law Guizhi, Tiemei, and Xiu'e were sitting in the yard talking and laughing, but they sat very interestingly, Shanxing was in the middle, and the sisters-in-law sat on both sides.

The center is the main one, and the side is the second.

In the past, it was absolutely impossible for Shan Xing to sit in the middle, at most she would sit at the end and play the side drums as a spectator, but now it is obvious that the sisters-in-law have recognized Shan Xing's status.

"Uncle Hong Bing is back." Sister Tie Mei greeted Li Hong Bing with a smile when she saw Li Hong Bing walk into the yard.

Li Hongbing waved his hand politely, "It's okay, let's talk, I'll go to the medicine garden in the backyard, and Xing'er won't pick some fruits for the sister-in-laws."

After speaking, he was about to walk towards the backyard.

Several old sisters-in-law looked at each other, and Guizhi was elected as the representative by their eyes, "Well, Uncle Hongbing, we made a hundred and ten sachets, see if it will work."

Oh!
Li Hongbing stopped, turned around with great interest, "Where is it, let me see!"

Several old sisters-in-law quickly took out the sachets from the basket next to the chair.

After taking the bag, Li Hongbing held it in his hand to check.

About the size of a duck egg, it is square and made of old coarse cloth. The mouth of the bag is a strong drawstring, which can be hung around the neck or wrapped around the waist.

"Yes, that's it. How many can you do in a day?"

Aunt Guizhi said first, "As long as there is enough fabric, it's not a problem to make 300 pieces a day."

Li Hongbing thought about it in his mind, one for each of the hundred and ten people in the village, Zhao Fu's workers also had to distribute some, and Qixiang San's mosquito repellent effect could only last for ten days.

"Well, I want 1000 of these sachets, and the sisters-in-law who make as many will share among themselves. I can give you the money for the bags first, but the bags made must be the same as this one."

After speaking, he walked into the room, took out 2000 yuan and handed it to Mrs. Guizhi.

Holding a thick stack of money, the old sisters-in-law's breathing became short of breath.

Rural women are shrewd and can calculate clearly.

Don't underestimate this humble bag, in fact, the profit is very high.

The old coarse cloth in the forest area sells for 10 yuan per meter, which can make 30 cloth bags, and sells it to Uncle Hongbing for 60 yuan, earning 50 yuan. The 2000 yuan can earn more than 1600 yuan, which is divided among five people. After that, one person gets 300 yuan.

How can I earn 300 yuan in two days?

"Okay, Uncle Red Soldier, don't worry, I promise nothing will go wrong." After getting the money, the old sisters-in-law wanted to go home immediately, "Then let's go back first, Sister Xing'er, if you have nothing to do, go to the village and chat with us."

Send away a few sister-in-laws.

Li Hongbing went to the chicken shed to check the recovery of the goshawk's wings, Shan Xing walked up to her with her hands behind her back and her head lowered, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I also made a sachet."

"Show me." Li Hongbing stretched out his hand amusedly.

Shan Xing shyly took out a sachet from behind and put it in Li Hongbing's hand.

The sachet is round and blue, with red and green silk threads embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water on the surface, and a bunch of cotton tassels are strung on the bottom of the sachet.

From the fine and uniform stitches, Li Hongbing felt Shanxing's gentle and tender thoughts, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"I like it very much, bring it for me."

Ah!
Shan Xing bowed her head and blushed.

He stretched out his hand to unbutton the hem of Li Hongbing's cotton and linen cardigan, and there was a hidden button sewn inside. Even Li Hongbing didn't know that there was a mechanism inside the gown he wore every day. He hung the string of the sachet into the hidden button, and adjusted the sachet carefully. Location.

Not to mention, the sachet hangs down from the hem of the clothes, and the sachet and cotton tassels sway slightly while walking, which makes Li Hongbing a bit more refined.

"Let's go, try pretending to be Qixiangsan."

Like a child receiving a gift, Li Hongbing couldn't wait to take the mountain apricot to the pharmacy, and mix the seven prepared medicinal powders in proportion.

Each of these seven medicinal powders has a unique fragrance when separated, and when mixed together, it produces a special fragrance, which directly hits the heart and lungs of the person, and the fragrance is overflowing.

"It smells so good!" Shan Xing took a deep breath and said to himself.

At this time.

Li Hongbing coughed uncomfortably, turned his face away, the corners of his ears were slightly red, took out something from his pocket, and stuffed it in Wang Shanxing's hand, "I have nothing to do at night, so I sewed one for you too. There is still some Qixiang powder left, if you don't like it, you can throw it away!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Hongbing ran out of the backyard in a panic.

Blushing, of course not because of a gift, there is nothing shameful in giving a gift.

The shame is because the sachet I sewed, compared with the sachet of the mountain apricot, is so ugly. If you don't say it is a sachet, you will think it is a rotten rag.

Looking at the direction of Li Hongbing's escape.

Shan Xing showed a happy smile on his face, holding the ugly sachet in his heart, secretly proud.

Sister Cui, Myolie won!
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

A three-wheeled motorcycle quietly drove into the village.

As soon as he parked at the gate of the village committee, under the cover of night, Li Huaizhong rushed out from the shadows, holding his throat.

"Did you bring it all?"

"Here, unload." Li Hongbing's voice sounded from the driver's seat.

Li Huaizhong turned his head and continued to suppress his voice, "Come out to unload the goods."

Whoa!

More than a dozen figures emerged from the darkness, surrounded the tricycle, and hurriedly unloaded a large number of fertilizer bags from the carriage.

These unloading villagers were sneaky and covered their faces, but they knew who they were by their body shape, Li Hongbing couldn't help asking helplessly.

"Everyone, I'm here to deliver Qixiang powder, not to do illegal activities, do you need this?"

Yes!

We are here to carry mosquito repellent, why are you sneaking around.

The villagers unloading the goods froze for a moment, looking at the people beside them.

"Hong Soldier, it's not that you said on the phone that you should be careful and don't call too many people." Li Huaizhong asked blankly.

I.
Li Hongbing paused, clutching his aching brain, "Uncle Huaizhong, I told you to be careful when unloading, and don't break the bag."

Li Huaizhong suddenly realized, and said embarrassingly, "I thought it was because of being careful when receiving the goods, don't let people break it, donkeys enter, turn on the lights, black lights are blind."

Snapped!
The door of the village committee was brightly lit.

The unloading villagers wore all kinds of things on their heads, such as sweat towels, clothes, and pillowcases, and one villager wore flowered underpants on his head. Li Huaizhong went crazy when he saw it, "Li Changjun, you motherfucker's underpants I put the hats on my head, and I didn’t feel too flustered, so I quickly took them off.”

Some villagers immediately joked.

"Uncle Huaizhong, how do you know that those are Mrs. Changjun's underpants."

"Chang Jun, take a good sniff, or let me smell it for you."

"Go away, I'll smell it myself."

boom!
The villagers burst into laughter.

Li Huaizhong picked up a bag of chemical fertilizer and smelled it, "This is Qixiangsan, why is it tasteless?"

"You won't untie the sealing rope." Li Hongbing stepped off the motorcycle, but the fragrance wafting from him lifted the villagers' spirits.

Li Huaizhong quickly untied the rope, and as soon as the bag was opened, a strong aroma of herbs wafted out.

"This is Qixiang powder. Let each household get some tomorrow and sprinkle it in the barn and at home. By the way, there are still some sachets in the car, and they will also be sent out. Remember to change the powder every ten days."

After Li Hongbing explained how to use it, he was ready to go home.

Immediately, Li Huaizhong stopped him, "What are you going to do when you go back early? After moving Qixiang San, I will have a drink at the village committee. What are you motherfuckers doing, why don't you hurry up and finish drinking."

The villagers were not annoyed at being scolded, and happily moved Qixiang powder into the warehouse. Li Hongbing wanted to help, but was dragged into the village committee room by Li Huaizhong.

The shabby desk is full of odds and ends, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans, lard residue, dried chicken, bacon, and the most eye-catching are two jars.

"Get ready to pour me!"

Li Hongbing smiled and opened the seal of the jar, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out.

"Who doesn't know that you are the wine commander of Caogou Village, and you can drink all the men in the village by yourself." Li Huaizhong flattered Li Hongbing hypocritically, and then said, "Lao Gen burned a pot of wine a few days ago, and I bought it. Two altars of top wine, I just borrow your Dongfeng to invite everyone to come over and have a taste, don’t worry, I will pay for it.”

"Huaizhong, Qixiang powder has been sent to the warehouse."

Da Kui, Tie Zhu and the others beat the dust off their bodies and walked into the village committee room.

When I opened the fertilizer bag just now, the suffocated aroma came out at once, overpowering the aroma from Li Hongbing's sachet. Now when I walk into the village committee room, I can tell whether the aroma is good or bad.

The fragrance of Qixiangsan mixed with a small amount of medicine primer is a bit strong, and the smell of herbs is relatively strong, while the fragrance emitted from Li Hongbing's body is elegant, long-lasting, and it smells refreshing.

But no one will talk too much to ask Li Hongbing why the same Qixiangsan has a different fragrance.

Because no matter the city or the countryside, there are circles.

The villagers who can participate in moving Qixiang San are basically close friends with Li Huaizhong and have good eyesight. Only second-handed people will ask.

"Old rules, finish drinking."

Li Huaizhong waved casually, and I skillfully closed the curtains, moved the stools, and took out the tea mug from the corner. It seemed that I often drank wild wine like this.

Half a glass of white wine was poured into the mug in front of more than ten people in the room, and the strong aroma of the wine instantly covered the scent of the sachet.

Li Hongbing felt drunk just by smelling it.

Can't help but secretly dumbfounded.

This group of people is so courageous, they dare to drink the first drink without hooking it up.

Rural earthen stove shochu is usually divided into three courses, the first course of wine, the second course of wine, and the third course of wine.

Among them, the first wine is the best, that is, Jiutou, the quality is the best, but the degree is too high, around 70 degrees, most people dare not drink it at all.

Erdao wine is divided into two grades. Usually, the big flowers appear above 56 degrees, and the small flowers appear below 56 degrees. It should be mastered according to the brewer's years of experience in receiving wine.

What is often drunk in rural areas is Erdaojiu.

The three-drink wine is the end of the drink. The alcohol content is below 40 degrees, and it has an obvious sour smell when drunk. It is generally not drunk but used to blend with the first drink.

"Come on, the old rules, drink the first cup first." Li Huaizhong raised the tea mug.

"Dry!"

The others raised their tea mugs and poured them down in one gulp.

Then there was a "hiss" sound.

All of them had distorted expressions, grabbed the bits and pieces from the table and stuffed them into their mouths.

Ah!
Li Hongbing tried his best to suppress the burning in his stomach while laughing at the others.

Feelings thought you could drink it!
It's hard to drink for a long time.
