Chapter 210 Fish Balls
Seeing this, Xu Yiyi fetched a basin of hot water from the kitchen.
There were also candles on the side.
Mr. Wu then took out a thin silver needle from the medicine box, disinfected it, found the acupuncture point, and inserted it steadily.
Then he looked at Er'er.
"This is the Tiantu point, which regulates the Ren meridian and can regulate qi and eliminate phlegm. When applying the needle, remember to keep your hands steady and your mind calm."
When the needle was inserted three-tenths of an inch, Wu Ruiming groaned softly and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This is tense.
Wu Feng'an's eyes were full of worry and doubt, and his gaze moved back and forth between his nephew's slightly painful face and Old Wu's calm face.
Although there were ripples of doubt in my heart.
But looking at Mr. Wu's calm demeanor and skillful techniques, and thinking that this might be his last hope, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Sihai couldn't help feeling a little scared when he saw the person's neck full of needles.
It really hurts to look at it.
I don't know how this person endured it.
Mr. Wu inserted the needles one after another, explaining the relationship between the acupoints and the essentials of acupuncture to Er'er beside him while he was doing it.
Wu Fengan saw that he spoke so clearly, and the doubts in his heart dissipated a lot.
After a few injections, Sihai and Wu Fengan both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that all right?"
Master Wu Fengan rushed forward with his eyes wide open.
His eyes were fixed on his nephew's neck, his face full of anxiety and anticipation.
Even the voice was trembling a little.
"Miracle doctor, is my nephew's illness cured now?"
As he spoke, his desire for answers seemed to ignite the air around him.
Old Wu slowly pulled out the silver needle, placed it in wine to disinfect it, wiped it clean, and then put it into the needle box.
Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Fengan indifferently.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was not loud but it was like a basin of cold water poured over his head.
"What are you thinking? How is that possible? This is just the beginning, and further treatment is needed. Don't think that a few injections will solve the problem.
Old Wu turned around and sat on the stone chair, and Er'er took out the paper and pen he had with him.
Pick up the pen and write a prescription.
"Do you need to take medicine again?"
Wu Ruiming muttered softly.
The tone of voice was drawn out, clearly showing his complete resistance to taking the medicine.
Old Wu looked up at him, a hint of mischief appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied slowly, "It's okay if you don't drink it."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Ruian's eyes lit up instantly and he was about to grin.
Then he added leisurely, "It's okay if you don't drink it, just don't think about it."
After saying that, Mr. Wu asked Er'er to put away the paper and pen and pretended to leave.
Seeing this, Wu Fengan hurriedly jumped out from the side again.
Her face was filled with an ingratiating smile, and her hands were wiping and clenching on her dress in a panic.
He stepped forward, grabbed the corner of Old Wu's clothes, and said urgently, "Divine Doctor, please calm down. The child is ignorant and is talking nonsense! Please be magnanimous and treat the disease as it should be treated. Please take the medicine as directed. Thank you for your concern."
He winked at his nephew as he spoke.
"Yes, yes, I'm willing to take the medicine. As long as it can cure this disease, let alone taking medicine, I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do."
As Wu Ruian spoke, he nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic.
He just said it casually just now. After all, he has been taking medicine continuously since his neck problem.
He couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.
Old Wu snorted and then sat down to continue writing.
"One dose taken internally, seaweed, kelp, and other herbs play a major role, combined with green peel and tangerine peel to regulate qi, pinellia and fritillaria to resolve phlegm, and angelica and ligusticum to activate blood circulation, comprehensively regulating the body's qi, blood, phlegm, and blood stasis to achieve the therapeutic purpose.
Grind Arisaema and Pinellia into powder, mix with vinegar or other liquids to form a paste, and apply it to the swollen area.
Mr. Wu handed over the prescription he had written.
"Take the decoction on time every day. Divide one dose into two doses, one in the morning and one in the evening. Don't miss the time."
Wu Ruian quickly took the prescription.
"You'll need acupuncture at the clinic these days, don't forget."
After giving the instructions, Mr. Wu called Lao Lu and walked back to the lobby.
"Yi Yi! I'll leave the snake meat to you."
Lao Lu put the sea snake meat into the kitchen and said with a smile.
He went back into the house, got a can of wine, and followed Old Wu, looking so proud.
"Looks like I have to stay a few more days..."
Wu Fengan said this and handed the towel back to his nephew.
The two also returned to the lobby.
"Big sister, let me help."
Er Er washed his hands and went into the kitchen.
"No need for you, go eat first."
Xu refused one by one, and the little girl stuck out her tongue mischievously.
disobedient.
I saw the elder sister cut half of the snake meat into evenly thin slices. The bamboo sticks were nimble in her hands, and she strung the slices of meat together one by one with ease.
So he hurried over to help.
"What are we going to do with the rest?"
Er'er looked at it curiously. Most children who grew up on the island are not afraid of this thing.
Spring and autumn are the seasons with the most sea snakes, with dense crowds of sea snakes swimming on the water surface.
I've seen it so many times that I can't be afraid even if I want to.
"Would you like to try stewing the chicken together?"
Xu Yiyi asked, and the little girl raised the sea snake skewers in her hand.
"I want to try this."
The sea snake skewers were ready, and the grill was also set up by Aunt Rong.
"Sister——"
Sanchuan finished his morning classes and ran home briskly.
Before even stepping into the house, the crisp, joyful cry burst out.
"Big sister——".
The sound passed through the courtyard and startled the birds resting in the trees.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw my elder sister busy at the grill, with wisps of green smoke rising.
Sanchuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over in two steps.
Put the school bag on your shoulder on the table.
"Sister, what delicious food have you made?"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and stood next to Xu Yiyi.
Following her example, he reached out to stir the charcoal fire. Sparks flew up, illuminating his eyes full of anticipation.
"Sea snake! My eldest sister went down to the sea and caught a big sea snake."
Er Er said this and moved out the small stove from the corner.
Prepare to make snake meat stewed with chicken.
Xu Yiyi took the opportunity to bring out the conchs that Aunt Rong had prepared.
Except for this and the steamed shrimps and crabs, all the other dishes Wu Fengan ordered were prepared early.
It only takes a few breaths to put the oyster cakes into the pan.
Fish soup was served from the stall at the door, and fish ball, silver thread and scallop soup was served from the kitchen.
Soon a table full of dishes was served.
Spicy wine snails are also simple.
Pour strong liquor into the pot, add ginger slices, garlic cloves, peppercorns, dried chili segments and other spices. When the liquor meets the ingredients, it makes a sizzling sound and the spicy aroma instantly fills the air.
Pour the prepared spicy wine into the pot, bring to a boil, then add the processed snails and cook quickly over high heat.
Xu Yiyi held the long chopsticks and stirred constantly to ensure that every snail was soaked in the hot soup.
Soon, the conch changed color and was cooked. She quickly picked it up, put it on a plate, poured the remaining soup on it, and sprinkled it with chopped green onions.
The strong liquor will release some of its aroma in the hot pot, so it will not taste intoxicating.
When the snail meat first touches the tip of your tongue, you will be enveloped in a hot and spicy sensation. The spicy feeling is like a flame that is ignited in an instant, stimulating your mouth to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the mellow aroma of the wine spreads across the taste buds, as if to intoxicate the soul.
After the double impact of spiciness and alcohol, the freshness and sweetness of the conch itself are slowly released.
Like the breeze hidden behind the fireworks, it softens the intensity of the first two.
Wu Ruiming watched his uncle eating one after another, unable to stop.
I couldn't help but feel greedy.
"You can't eat it, you have to take medicine."
Wu Fengan was guarding his food like a child at this moment, and moved the plate of spicy wine snails in front of him.
He glanced at his nephew warily.
"Just one?"
Wu Ruiming swallowed and watched his uncle eat happily.
I am becoming more and more greedy.
"No, wait until you recover."
Wu Fengan blurted out, and then the two fell silent.
"Can I really be okay?"
Wu Ruiming said this with some disappointment, although he really wanted to believe in Mr. Wu's medical skills.
But in the past few months, I have met many doctors and taken a lot of medicine.
The neck is getting bigger and bigger.
Finally gave up on himself.
"Don't think too much. I think Mr. Wu is really capable. Didn't you say that your breathing became much smoother after acupuncture?"
Wu Fengan put down his chopsticks and patted his nephew's shoulder.
"It's not the last moment yet. We still have hope."
Wu Fengan looked at his nephew with heartache and whispered a few words of comfort to him.
He has no children and treats his nephew as his own son.
Seeing my nephew suffering from this strange disease, I wished I could take his place.
Wu Ruiming didn't want to affect his uncle's good mood, so he concealed his inner sadness and forced a smile.
……
In the backyard, Xu Yiyi slowly and steadily dipped the skewers of sea snakes into the honey water that had been prepared nearby.
The slightly sticky honey instantly wrapped around the sea snake skewers, gleaming with an alluring luster in the sunlight, as if covering the food with a layer of sweet armor.
Then she turned and walked to the hot grill, and with her slender fingers she lightly placed the sea snake skewers on the grill.
The flames licked the honey greedily.
The sound of "sizzling" was heard continuously, and the sea snakes curled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The honey color gradually turns into an attractive caramel-like brown-red, and the sweetness and seafood flavor are intertwined and float in the air.
"Sister, why isn't this healed yet?"
Sanchuan was rarely greedy, so he fanned his elder sister from behind with a palm-leaf fan.
A gentle breeze blew by, intending to make the elder sister feel cooler.
But I never thought that the smell would drift farther and farther with the breeze.
"What delicious food is Boss Xu making?"
Some diners in the lobby said that the smell made them hungry.
The sun was high in the sky, and warm light poured down on the restaurant's door curtain.
A burst of hearty laughter came from outside. Sihai's ears became sharp and his eyes instantly lit up like stars. He put down the dishes he was wiping and jumped towards the door.
"Uncle Qingshan, you haven't been here for a long time..."
Before the person even arrived, a loud voice started to ring out.
The small figure took a few steps to the door, grabbed the sleeve of the person who came, and smiled brightly with no shyness at all.
"Hey! Let me see who it is."
As Qingshan stepped into the restaurant, his eyes were attracted by Sihai.
After not seeing him for a long time, the little guy has grown taller like a wheat seedling blown by the spring breeze. Not only has his face become plumper, but his face is also rosy and white, just like a ripe peach.
Qingshan smiled and walked quickly forward, reached out and gently pinched the child's round face, which was soft to the touch.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a while. You've gotten so fat that I almost didn't recognize you. Your little face is so chubby, it's so festive looking. Your big sister has taken such good care of you!"
In addition to being amazed, her eyes were full of doting. She gently shook the chubby face with her hand, making her brother giggle.
When Xu Anyang heard it, he couldn't help but take a look.
His eyes swept over Sihai's double chin which was becoming more and more obvious due to his fatness, and he subconsciously looked down at his waist.
I was busy shopping in the store a few days ago and didn't pay much attention.
Now the clothes seem to be a little tighter, and the belly is slightly bulging. Could it be that I have grown some fat quietly?
"Don't worry about it. You've gained a lot of weight. What's wrong? Have you been eating well recently?"
Qingshan raised his eyes and saw Xu Anyang's little action, and couldn't help laughing.
The eldest brother raised his hand and touched his head, his face flushed slightly, and he smiled shyly, but did not refute. For a moment, the laughter in the store became louder.
"Uncle Qingshan, why haven't you come in so long? Before the typhoon, my elder sister brought back a huge manta ray, but it's a pity you didn't get to eat it..."
Sihai hung his head, curled his lips, and his face was full of regret.
He walked up to Qingshan, pulled his sleeve, and mumbled in a baby voice.
"That manta ray was huge, shiny black all over. It looked a little scary, but it tasted really good. My eldest sister cut out the skin and fried it for us. It was crispy and delicious. After we finished eating it, the aroma was still lingering in our mouths."
Sihai stomped his feet and waved his little hands helplessly in the air.
"Then I really missed it. You don't know, this typhoon was so powerful that it damaged several of my boats. I was busy in the capital for several days before I had time to come here..."
Qingshan sighed.
Fortunately, the ships that were damaged were all old ships.
After a little processing, I sold it and didn't lose much money.
Sihai mumbled to himself as he pulled Qingshan to sit down, and not forgetting to cleverly bring the most comfortable stool. He wiped it again and again with his nimble hands and feet. Look at how hot it was, it seemed as if it was going to blow the roof of the restaurant off.
"Who is that person?"
Old Wu and Lao Lu were sitting in the corner, just in time to see what was happening at the door.
I have never seen this child treat someone so enthusiastically.
I can't help but feel a little curious.
"Who?"
Lao Lu swallowed a mouthful of wine and asked with some confusion.
"That one over there!"
Old Wu pointed and Lao Lu looked over.
"That man is their father's friend, they have a good relationship."
Lao Lu said this and threw a peanut into his mouth.
Chew, chew, continue.
"Didn't the father of those children pass away? After that, that person also paid close attention to these children. This restaurant was originally called Qushenglou, not Wufu Restaurant.
It was that man who paid for Xu Yiyi to buy the tavern. Otherwise, those kids would still be setting up stalls on the pier right now..."
Lao Lu shrugged and briefly explained their situation.
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at a few people, as if lost in memories.
Fortunately, he helped Xu Yiyi to buy the restaurant, otherwise he would still have to live the same hard life as before.
