After buying some snacks, Li Qingzhi bought some spring roll wrappers, dried tofu and pork.
Recently, many families have started slaughtering pigs, and more people are selling meat. Even in small markets like this, there are people selling meat.
Spring roll wrappers are only sold during the Chinese New Year. A middle-aged woman makes the spring roll wrappers. She lights a small stove, puts a thick round iron sheet on it, kneads the sticky dough in her hands and spreads it on the iron sheet, and a spring roll wrapper comes out.
Li Qingzhi felt that this method was very similar to making pancakes, but the spring roll wrappers would often be peeled off when they were not so dry. For the spring roll wrappers, they were weighed. The woman's husband sat on the side, adding firewood to the stove from time to time. When someone wanted to buy something, he was responsible for weighing it.
The scales they used were made of stone.
Two holes were drilled on the polished stone and it became a weight.
Li Qingzhi likes the atmosphere here very much, and he likes the smiles on these people's faces even more.
When Li Qingzhi bought the spring roll wrappers, Jin Xiaoye, who had been to the temple to worship before, came out with incense, candles and firecrackers in his hands: "I bought some candles and firecrackers for the New Year. The monks in this temple are quite smart. They said their candles were offered to the Buddha. Everyone rushed to buy them. The price of incense and candles here is the same as in the county town, so I bought some too."
Jin Xiaoye was muttering about what to prepare for the New Year.
In their place, it is best to buy a pig's head for the New Year. It would be very respectable to put a pig's head on the table on New Year's Eve!
This resulted in the price of pig heads remaining high in the month before the New Year.
Jin Xiaoye didn't want to be the one who got suckered in buying the expensive pig head, so she planned to wait for Jin Xiaoshu to kill the pig and then buy some pork ribs. She had also made an agreement with a family about the rooster to be used for the New Year, so she could just go to their house and catch one on New Year's Eve.
Jin Xiaoye had already made every possible arrangement for how their family would celebrate the New Year.
Li Qingzhi looked at her with a smile, in a very good mood, and reached out to touch her.
Seeing this, Jin Xiaoye glared at him and then gave him a hand.
Li Qingzhi held Jin Xiaoye's hand in his palm and used his supernatural power to help her promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to prevent her from getting frostbite.
Few people in Miaoqian Village do not suffer from frostbite. In mild cases, the disease will appear on the hands or earlobes, while in severe cases, the disease will appear on the legs and become ulcerated.
The chilblains on Li Laogen’s hands would rot, and because they had existed for many years, they would still rot even if he paid attention to keeping warm.
The two children are still young and wore more clothes this year. Jin Xiaoye even made gloves for them, so they didn’t get frostbite.
But Jin Xiaoye had it herself, and she didn't wear gloves to make it easier to work. One night when she came back, Li Qing touched her hand and found a lump on her little finger.
He helped cure it that night, but it came back two days later...
What else can I do? Just take my time to heal it!
Jin Xiaoye knew nothing about this. When she saw Li Qingzhi touching her hands with special interest, she said, "I have good food and warm clothes this year. I don't have frostbite on my hands anymore. It's great!"
Li Qingzhi: "..." "How are you not getting any? Your chilblains were clearly strangled in the cradle by me!
"Let's go find some helpers." Jin Xiaoye said, and walked forward holding Li Qingzhi's hand.
