Probably because things are rare and valuable, the watermelons from Dawan were shipped to Qiongzhou. As soon as they entered the market, vendors tied the stems of the melons and hung them in front of the stores. They also called them "super black beauties".
This exotic melon seed quickly became popular after being promoted by businessmen and praised by Qi Yu.
In terms of price, it's still quite cheap.
Therefore, some large farmers who saw business opportunities began to try local cultivation.
As in previous years, as soon as this melon came on the market, Sun Dacai couldn't wait to collect it to honor his mother-in-law.
What is slightly different from previous years is that this year's salesman Sun, oh no, it's Yuan Yuan. He took the opportunity to show his generosity and actually sent over a large mule cart.
It doesn’t cost much anyway, so why not be courteous?
Unexpectedly, this time, it was a bit self-defeating.
After Qi Yu ate a few pieces of watermelon, he unexpectedly suffered from diarrhea. He was almost dehydrated.
Fortunately, my niece Sun Qiaoyun arrived in time and gave her uncle acupuncture, water and salt to save his life. Otherwise, you may suffer from collapse.
Since there were still urgent patients in the hospital who needed treatment, she left in a hurry after prescribing 'Huoxiang Zhengqi Decoction'.
While Liu Quan was boiling the medicine, he muttered: "My husband, he has always been in good health, why can't he resist this time?"
Mrs. Zhou's face tightened, and she said angrily: "After all, isn't it all because of that stupid and clever person? Tell me, what is wrong with him giving him a gift? Why does he have to give me watermelon?"
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you muttered and I answered, and I muttered and you answered. After nagging for a long time, the soup was finally ready.
Next, drink it while it’s hot.
However, Qi Aman has been in a state of drowsiness and seems reluctant to wake up.
There was no way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no choice but to make a call.
“Dalang, it’s time to take medicine~~”
"Yes, eat it while it's hot~~"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu suddenly trembled and woke up immediately.
Then came the cold sweat.
After calming down, he smiled awkwardly and said: "Oh, my wife and mother are really busy. This medicine... shouldn't be unpleasant to drink, right? Oh... I mean, is it very bitter?"
Liu Quan smiled and said: "My husband is a dignified husband, why are you suddenly afraid of suffering? As the saying goes, bitter taste is good medicine.
When it comes to illness, how can this medicine be sweet? "
All right!
Gulu! Gulu!
Qi Dalang drank it all in one gulp as if he was dead, and even let out a very comfortable burp.
Not to mention, after taking a bowl of decoction, not only the stomach and intestines are relieved, but also the spirit is restored a lot.
Seeing that her husband was looking better, Liu Quan started chatting freely.
"As I know, Mr. Meng is currently using rubber products to research an extracorporeal infusion technique, which is said to be very effective in treating dehydration-related diseases. After he learned that you had diarrhea and malaise, he couldn't help but wonder about you. The idea of testing it on someone else. I was worried that this method was a bit unsafe, so I declined him politely."
oh?
As expected, the gentleman was really talented. He just came up with a rough idea and he immediately put it into practice.
It's a pity that I couldn't take this as a guinea pig.
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Madam, you are overly worried. Infusion is a very common treatment method, and its risk is not great."
After a pause, he sighed with emotion: "If you set this precedent, it will definitely change the medical history of China. With this as a foundation, future disease treatment will be more scientific."
After chatting for a while, Liu Quan started packing for lunch.
My niece once received medical advice saying that she should pay attention to a light diet.
Therefore, I should be a vegetarian now.
However, the opposite happened.
Sometimes, you don’t just have to be vegetarian if you want to. If you encounter a big event, you have to prepare a table for it.
No!
The unexpected joy suddenly fell from the sky.
Liu Quan had just put green vegetables and tofu on the table when he heard someone outside the gate singing loudly: Qi Liu, the wife of Qi Yu, the governor of Qiongzhou, come out quickly to greet the imperial edict!
What what?
Receive an imperial edict?
I am not an official and I am not involved in politics. How can I get involved with the emperor of the imperial court?
It’s really strange!
Strange as it is, the imperial edict must still be accepted.
Qi Yu was shocked to hear the news and rushed out of the house as soon as possible. After he confirmed that the young eunuch was not a fake, he ordered someone to put the incense table on the table.
Accept the imperial edict.
"By the fate of heaven, the emperor decreed... The Qi Liu family is a virtuous housekeeper and has a moral character like water. She is always praised by people in the world. I follow the public opinion and promote her as the 'Mrs. Qiongguo'. I admire her!"
"Shi Qi Liu, thank you Lord for your kindness."
"..."
At this time, Liu Quan seemed a little confused.
Yes, in a blink of an eye, I suddenly transformed into a first-class lady...
Although it was a happy occasion, it still felt a bit awkward.
My husband is only a second-grade official at the moment. How can he be so virtuous and capable, yet he is a head above him?
Wouldn't this state of affairs become the legendary yin rising and yang declining?
Seeing that his wife was so entangled that she couldn't extricate herself, Qi Yu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over for her.
After giving away a piece of silver for his hard work, the little eunuch who delivered the order finally opened his teeth and told the outline of what happened behind the scenes.
According to his feedback, his wives and concubines were all rewarded. Liu Quan was named Mrs. Qiongguo, while Yin Tao was named Mrs. Weiguo.
Gee, it’s really rare in history to have two ladies in one family!
As for why he was banned, the young eunuch seemed a little unclear.
However, he still made what he thought was an analysis based on his limited information.
He felt that His Majesty was generous in granting the title because Mrs. Wei had contributed the core technology of the steam engine.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Yin Junyin's hard work.
Oh...so that's what happened!
Compared to Qi Yu's cautious thinking, Liu Quan seemed much more relaxed.
The two people's focus at this time is completely in two latitudes, one is at home and the other is at home.
Liu Quan thought to himself: Not to mention, this little girl Yin Tao is really good at getting things done! He actually used what he learned to win me such a great honor.
Well, I must treat her more kindly in the future, otherwise, I will feel uneasy.
It is indeed true to say that everything will be prosperous when the family is in harmony.
Only by respecting each other and working together can this family become more prosperous and noble.
Liu Quan was indeed very happy today.
From then on, she was no longer the Qi Liu family in the eyes of the world, but the real Mrs. Liu.
Even if he is buried in the grave and a monument is erected in the future, it will still be a person with a name and a surname.
For such a great event, it is natural that the guests around would come to congratulate them with gifts.
Since we are here to congratulate you, it is inevitable to hold a big banquet and entertain them warmly.
As a last resort, Liu Quan had to remove the green vegetables and tofu that had been placed on the table.
