Liuxi Village is not far from the town, and Shen Ling walked with his feet for half an hour. According to the impression in his memory, Shen Ling quickly found the only medicine store in the town.

Even though Shen Ling had made preparations before coming, he was still taken aback by the price of the medicinal materials, so a small amount of 37 yuan would cost two taels of silver. After she came out of the pharmacy, she had only one or two dollars left in her purse.

She sighed at the ancient drug prices and walked towards the market in the town. The panax notoginseng was there. Next, she would buy some pig bones, and she didn't know if she could buy the bones from pig legs.

When Shen Ling was in college, a roommate in the same dormitory was a fan of Chinese medicine. She told Shen Ling that panax notoginseng powder and chicken thigh bone soup can cure bruises. Shen Ling didn't have the conditions to live on campus at the time, but she always remembered this diet.

It's just that the conditions are limited now, she can't get so many chicken thigh bones, so she has to use pork thigh bones instead.

There are not many stalls selling meat in the town. There are only two stalls. After Shen Ling asked about it, he spent 20 cents on one stall to buy five kilograms of pork leg bones without meat.

After returning home, Shen Ling simmered the pork leg bones, then put a little panax notoginseng powder mashed by the pharmacy folks in it, and began to prepare lunch.

The time when she was wearing it happened to be the late spring season, which was the season to eat wild vegetables. She turned to the back of the main house, where there was almost half an acre of open land, where she had been planted with various vegetables by the diligent Chunni. A variety of wild vegetables grow on the edge of the ground under the corner.

Shen Ling pulled out a few wild vegetables called ash ash that people often eat in this place, and cut a handful of leeks to prepare pancakes at noon. In terms of weeding and farming, Shen Ling may not be as good as Chunni, but Chunni is inferior to her in cooking.

Scoop out a spoonful of white noodles and a spoonful of cornmeal from the urn and mix them with water to make a paste, brush a layer of oil on the bottom of the pan, scoop a spoonful of batter, and spread it evenly. In less than a minute, a pancake is ready.

After the pancake stall was finished, she blanched the gray ash vegetables in hot water, put the sauce, vinegar and salt, and it was an appetizing cold dish. As for that handful of leeks, she made a hot dish of scrambled eggs with leeks.

When Da Ya and Er Ya came back, Shen Ling was coming out of the kitchen carrying the pot of scrambled eggs with chives, her gaze shifted around the two of them, she wanted to say something, and was afraid that the two little girls would feel wrong, and finally He only said lightly: "Wash your hands and go to the East Room for dinner!" Then he took the dishes and left.

Da Ya put down the bamboo basket on her body, stretched out her hand to wipe her eyes with her sleeve, and said hoarsely: "Er Ya, go, sister will take you to wash your hands."

Er Ya reluctantly looked at Da Ya, "Sister, I can't bear to leave you."

Da Ya said with tears: "I can't bear to leave either. But my arms can't twist my thighs, and Dad's legs are not good. If I don't sell me, where can I get money for medical treatment."

Some words made Er Ya couldn't help but shed tears.

Shen Ling and Song Changsheng waited in the room for a long time, only to see the sisters come in with red eyes.

Song Changsheng asked: "What's the matter, what's the matter? What are you two crying for?" His eyes couldn't help but look at Shen Ling.

But seeing that the surprised look appeared on Shen Ling's face, he didn't understand the situation. Since Chunni didn't scold these two children, why are these two girls crying?

Da Ya wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said, "I didn't cry, but I was hungry."

Song Changsheng said: "Since you are hungry, you will eat. Your mother made a table of delicious food today, and I will wait for the two of you."

Da Ya glanced at the table, fragrant pancakes, steaming bone broth, golden leek scrambled eggs, cold vegetables dripping with sesame oil, she felt fragrant just looking at the smell, but she just felt sad. , Slowly do not sit at the table.

Erya was still young. She looked at the good food and dishes on a table, and couldn't help but saliva, sitting at the table looking at the pancakes on the plate.

Shen Ling grabbed one of her chopsticks.

Er Ya blinked her eyes and looked at her, and whispered: "For me?"

Shen Ling nodded: "For you, eat it!"

Song Changsheng touched Er Ya's little head, "Hurry up and eat!" He called Da Ya, "What are you doing while standing? Come and eat."

Er Ya suddenly raised her head to look at Song Changsheng: "Father, why do you make a big table of delicious food today?"

Song Changsheng said: "Your mother went to the town to buy a few pig bones today, thinking that she hadn't seen oil and water in her family for several months, so she made such a delicious table."

Before she finished speaking, Da Ya suddenly sobbed, Song Changsheng didn't understand, "Da Ya, what are you crying for?"

Shen Ling was a little bit overwhelmed. Da Ya thought she was going to be sold. Seeing this table was delicious, she naturally touched her heart and thought she was going to be sold, so the stepmother made a table. Eat, let her eat a full meal before leaving.

She didn't know what to say, Er Ya suddenly said: "Father, don't you want to sell your sister, okay?"

Song Changsheng couldn't help looking at Da Ya, "When did I say I would sell Da Ya?"

Shen Ling said: "The two of them probably heard what we said last night. In that case, it's okay to talk about it. I was thinking that the family was a little nervous recently, and one less person would eat less and chew less. Not to mention in the big family. As a maid, they not only eat well, but also earn money. So Aunt Qiu'e said that, and I came back to talk to your dad. But if your dad disagrees, I have no choice but to give up. Now that the big girl is also a big girl. I don’t want to, then I’ll assume that I haven’t mentioned it.”

Song Changsheng also said: "Your mother is right, I didn't agree. Although Song Changsheng doesn't make much money, I'm also a dignified man. Can't I do that bad thing about selling children and girls?" He glanced at his two daughters. , "Okay, don't say anything, eat."

Daya hurriedly wiped away the tears with her sleeves, helping Shen Ling to serve each person with a bowl of bone soup.

After the family had lunch, Da Ya rushed to help Shen Ling tidy up the dishes, and Er Ya was in charge of wiping the table. Shen Ling brought two baskets of hogweed that the two of them had gathered in the morning to feed the pigs. Fortunately, Chunni was used to doing these tasks. Shen Ling only needed to follow the steps in her memory, and she soon found a familiar feeling.

After feeding the pigs, she went to the kitchen to scoop water from the water tank and wash her hands. After thinking about it, she took out two cakes from the space. Then I found a coarse porcelain bowl from the cabinet and installed it, and carried it to the rooms of Da Ya and Er Ya.

The two little girls lived in the West Wing opposite the kitchen. When Shen Ling came in, Da Ya was sitting on the bed sewing clothes, and Er Ya was sitting on a small stool watching her sewing.

Seeing Shen Ling coming in, Da Ya and Er Ya hurriedly stood up and shouted "Mother."

Shen Ling put the bowl on the round table in the middle, "This is the dim sum I bought from the town in the morning, and I will give you a taste of it for your sisters."

Maybe it was because Shen Ling's attitude was still mild, and Da Ya put her anxiety back on her stomach. When Shen Ling asked what she was doing, Da Ya showed her the ripped jacket: "Er Ya's clothes are broken. Yes, I am patching her up."

Shen Ling took it curiously, and saw that the stitches were crooked and skewed, and the stitches were not strong.

She simply sat on the bed, took up the needle and thread while sewing, and said: "It's not like this. Look carefully at my method. According to this method, the stitches are both strong and small."

After the patch was patched up, Shen Ling left. Chunni's original work, feeding pigs and chickens, weeding the vegetable field, watering the vegetables, and washing clothes, she all takes over one by one. Fortunately, after Song Changsheng had been in bed for a few months, some of the physical problems had been resolved on her own, otherwise she would have been busier.

After she finished feeding the chickens, she heard the system 25 prompt: "Da Ya now has a favorability value of 5 for you. Er Ya now has a favorability value of 10 for you."

As for why Er Ya had more favorable impressions towards her than Da Ya, Shen Ling thought to herself, maybe it was because of those two cakes.
