Chapter 453 Injured
"Master, are you really reading medical books?" Mao Sanli was a little skeptical.

"Nonsense! What else could it be if not a medical book?" Yin Lingyou shouted angrily, but his voice was not loud. After a moment, he added, "If you don't believe me, come into the house and take a look!"

"The disciple has entered the house."

While talking, Mao Sanli pushed the door and walked into the house.

At this time, Yin Lingyou's eyes were a little red because he had been looking at the candlelight for a long time, but he was indeed holding a medical book in his hand and reading it very attentively.

"See, I said I was reading a medical book." Yin Lingyou gave Mao Sanli a blank look.

"But..." Mao Sanli scratched the back of his head, looking extremely embarrassed, "Master, you held the book upside down..."

Yin Lingyou, "!!!"

After chasing Mao Sanli out, Yin Lingyou took out the storybook from the quilt next to him and continued reading.

You know what, this story is really well written.

Take revenge when you have a grudge, and never delay until tomorrow.

It was even more exciting than the jealousies and intrigues in the harem that he had witnessed before. It was especially satisfying to see the male protagonist being humiliated in the story.

You are a scumbag and a hypocrite. You have brought shame to all men in the world and you don't deserve to live!

Deserve to be tortured!

The next day, Yin Lingyou went to Xia Mingyue's yard to have breakfast with Mao Sanli as usual.

But when everyone saw the gray ointment smeared all over Yin Lingyou's face, they were all shocked.

"What happened to Doctor Yin?" Xia Mingyue was surprised and worried, "But what's wrong with your face?"

"I was studying an ancient medical book last night. It contained a recipe suitable for women to use for beauty and nourishment. I thought it was a bit novel, so I made it and tried it out. I guess the recipe wasn't quite right. I got a lot of rashes on my face, so I applied some anti-inflammatory and anti-itching plasters."

Yin Lingyou explained seriously, and added, "This rash came on so quickly and fiercely, I estimate it will take another two days of application before it heals."

After two days, the dark circles under his eyes had completely disappeared.

"I see." Xia Mingyue nodded. "But if that's the case, Doctor Yin will probably have to avoid certain foods. Today's mutton and river shrimp are extremely fresh. I was thinking of making mutton stewed noodles for lunch and shrimp wontons for dinner. Does Doctor Yin have to avoid eating either?"

Lamb and shrimp are both irritants, which are not conducive to wound healing. Red rashes can be considered as small wounds on the face, so you need to pay attention to them.

Lamb stewed noodles, shrimp wontons!

When Yin Lingyou thought of these two foods, he felt his saliva surge. He didn't care about anything else and just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "You can eat it, you can eat it."

"Not only can you eat it, you can also have some stir-fried lamb with green onions, grilled lamb chops, lamb soup, etc. It's all fine!"

Yin Lingyou spoke with certainty, but Xia Mingyue's face was full of suspicion.

Taking into consideration that Yin Lingyou was a big foodie and probably didn't care about the rash on his face at all, Xia Mingyue specially made him a vegetarian noodle dish when everyone else was eating mutton noodles during lunch.

They didn't dare to use mutton soup, so they only used soup made from chicken racks and pork bones, and paired it with tofu shreds, quail eggs, etc. to make a light and delicious vegetarian stewed noodle. As for the wontons in the evening, Xia Mingyue also prepared small wontons with green onions and pork for Yin Lingyou, without adding shrimp.

Even though there was no mutton or shrimp, the meal was exceptionally light and delicious because it was all prepared by Xia Mingyue. But seeing others eating so heartily, Yin Lingyou's tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of his mouth.

They all stayed up late reading storybooks and lost their ambition due to indulgence in material things, so why is he the only one who is so pitiful?
The world where he was the only one hurt finally came true...

The next day, Zhao Sanlin came to visit.

"I knew that Madam Xia had returned from Changzhou City a long time ago, but I was so busy that I had no time to visit her today."

Zhao Sanlin was ashamed, and hurriedly unloaded the things he brought from the ox cart. "My father asked me to bring some freshly dried vermicelli to Madam Xia. I also brought a lot of sweet potato starch. Madam Xia usually uses it in cooking and making soup, so I think it can be used."

The vermicelli given to Madam Xia was different from the ones sold outside that were kept in shape after drying. Instead, they were cut into pieces of appropriate lengths and sealed with paper rings, which looked very neat.

The sweet potato starch is kept in the shape of pieces when it is taken out after drying and placed in a jar. When using it, you can directly melt it with water or grind it into powder, which is very convenient.

"Please take care of it, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao." Xia Mingyue did not refuse the gift sent by Zhao Sanlin. After thanking him, she asked someone to move it in. However, she also said, "We are not strangers. There is no need to make the vermicelli so delicately."

The dried vermicelli will form an inverted U-shape due to the influence of gravity when hung on bamboo poles. Although it does not look very good and appears a bit rough, it does not affect its eating quality.

"This was also my father's idea." Zhao Sanlin chuckled, "Nowadays, a lot of vermicelli is sold outside. Even the city buys from our Zhaojiazhuang. My father said that if we wrap the vermicelli more delicately, we can sell it at a better price."

"Nowadays, some businesses buy from us and ship to other places. This makes it easier to stack and transport vermicelli, and the scraps are not wasted. People in our village can share some, or we can sell them at a low price, so nothing is wasted."

"Zhao Lizheng's idea is good." Xia Mingyue agreed.

With a very smart person in charge, there is no need to worry about this business not being run well or not lasting long.

Zhao Sanlin chuckled.

Apart from anything else, my dad's brain is really very useful.

It's a pity that I didn't inherit...

After talking for a while, Xia Mingyue learned that Zhao's vermicelli shop was doing very well and there were no problems anywhere, and she was quite happy.

After Zhao Sanlin said goodbye and left, Xia Mingyue looked at the bundles of vermicelli, pondering.

The daily dishes eaten in winter are quite monotonous. As the weather gets colder day by day, ordinary people gradually abandon stir-frying and switch to stews with soup.

Cabbage, tofu, and radish meatballs are served with vermicelli. If the family is well-off, you can add some thick and oily pork belly. Stew a whole pot of steaming hot meat, and it is best to eat it while it is hot.

Or you can use vermicelli with tofu, black vegetables and the like to make dumplings, sometimes with both noodles and vegetables, and have a bowl of soup, and you'll have a meal that will warm and comfort your stomach.

Therefore, the demand for vermicelli increases in winter, so there is no need to worry about the vermicelli business.

And Zhao Lizheng’s idea was not wrong. This kind of exquisite packaging was convenient for storage and transportation, which was very good.

The only thing that needs to be dealt with is the broken pieces of vermicelli that have been cut off.

It would be good to distribute it to the villagers, but as the sales of this vermicelli grow, the amount of broken vermicelli will certainly exceed the normal consumption.
