BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147: tight garlic
"How did you take this train?"
"How do you..."
Both of them were very surprised. They asked the same surprised question and laughed again: "What a coincidence!"
No coincidence is a book, there are so many coincidences in this world.
Xiaoxi said: "The only bus to Kyoto is this one. The bus passed by yesterday, so I had to buy today's bus."
"I just saw your comrade send you off."
"That's from the Armed Forces Department of Cao Xiaoyuan County. Hey, that's right." Xiao Xi took out the bag of garlic in a net, opened it, gave half of it to Liang Xiaonan, and said, "Comrade Xiao Liang, take these garlic. You need to eat more." Garlic, one is prevention, and the other can also be curative.”
Meningitis? Garlic can cure meningitis?
Seeing Liang Xiaonan in a daze, Xiaoxi explained: "You may not know it in the countryside of Yu County"
"Huh?" Liang Xiaonan had a headache.
"Every hospital is full of patients with high fever, you didn't see it, that vomited and sprayed out, it's too bad!" Xiaoxi said, "It's basically those young people who have been traveling for free, and there are too many cross-infections .”
Looking at Liang Xiaonan's deep thought and silence, he seemed to be frightened. He hastily comforted him and said, "Don't worry, it's fine in the sleeper car."
Liang Xiaonan said: "Now I am more worried about whether I can go out or come back?"
Xiao Xi told her not to think too much, and to go back quickly after going out to finish her errands.
"Can garlic treat this disease?" Liang Xiaonan asked, "Can garlic kill this virus?"
Xiaoxi said that the doctors in the army have said, mash the garlic, take the juice, add boiling water, make a 20% solution, drink it every 4 hours, and drink it every 3 hours if the condition is serious.
"If you don't want to mash the juice, you can also eat raw garlic cloves. Eat about 3 cloves a day, and eat for a few days."
Liang Xiaonan was a southerner in his previous life. Although he has worked in the north for more than ten years, his taste has not changed.
The influence of childhood habits on a person is almost lifelong. She has never eaten garlic in her life, especially raw garlic. She was asked to eat three cloves raw or drink garlic juice a day, and she shivered just thinking about it.
Thinking of this, she looked at the garlic in Xiaoxi's net pocket. The purple-skinned garlic was very small, at least one-third smaller than the garlic she had seen in the supermarket in her previous life. I can still bear it.
"This garlic is really small." She said involuntarily.
"It's not too small, this garlic is very good." Xiaoxi took the net bag over and looked at it, it's not too small, isn't garlic just this big? And this is the best one the Armed Forces Department picked for him.
"Take it with you, I don't want it anymore, I will go back in a few days."
Liang Xiaonan returned the garlic to Xiaoxi. After all, it was thousands of kilometers from Cao Xiaoyuan County to Kyoto, and it would take several days to get there. Xiaoxi needed garlic even more.
Xiaoxi shook her head and didn't take it back: "Comrade Xiaoliang, don't be too polite. It's going to be November, and there aren't many garlic planted in the first place. If you go to the market, you won't be able to buy them at all."
Liang Xiaonan suddenly remembered that she was in the black market yesterday, and people kept asking "do you have any garlic" and "whether you sell garlic", so it turned out to be this question.
"When did it happen?" She knew that garlic was so in demand, so she planted some garlic and brought it with her!
"It started in the spring of this year. It was originally said that meningitis occurred, but not so many people were infected. Recently, the incidence has started to increase, and it is said that it will continue to increase."
"How much is the price of garlic now per catty?"
"The price is very messy now. In the past, raw garlic only cost 5 cents, but this spring and summer it is about 10 cents. Now 5 yuan is not uncommon. The key is that the price is high and you can't buy it."
Xiaoxi sighed. In fact, Wei Tuan was also very worried. He even thought about signing up to go to the frontier to participate in production in person. Now the whole country is full of enthusiasm and food shortage.
The two of them were talking, and the passengers on the upper berth and the passengers next door all came together to talk about the problem of garlic. When everyone heard the news, they knew that garlic was already in short supply, and it was more expensive than food. Go buy some, the price is ridiculously high.
"Do you want lunch? It costs 30 cents a piece, with vegetables and meat." The conductor wore a red badge on his chest, holding a pen and a stack of meal cards, and shouted, "Not much, first come first served."
Xiaoxi asked for one, and asked for another for Liang Xiaonan. Liang Xiaonan said he was rich, so Xiaoxi insisted on treating her to a meal.
The conductor tore off the ticket and handed it to them: "Keep it safe, don't lose it."
During the chat between the two, Liang Xiaonan knew that Xiaoxi's family was in Beidai Province, Wei Yangfan's subordinate, and his family was also from the countryside. But now that he has been promoted to be an officer, he will not change jobs and go back. He is a full-time soldier.
Xu is that the two rural children have a common language, and Xiaoxi talked about the Wei family.
"The old man of the Wei family has a lot of status, and now he is enjoying his old age. He has five sons and one daughter, four of whom are martyrs, and he doesn't even have a single child. His wife's spirit has been stimulated and he needs someone to take care of him."
"Wei Tuan's father was seriously injured. After changing his job, he opened a restaurant in Modu. He is self-reliant and does not need the care of the state. Wei Tuan is also able to endure hardships in Kyoto. This family is very honorable and admirable."
Liang Xiaonan only realized after hearing Xiaoxi say this that the old man of the Wei family is really respectable, and his four sons are all martyrs. Just thinking about it makes his skin crawl!
In addition, from what I heard, the Wei family is really the leading wealthy family in the porcelain country, and the old lady of the Wei family is also a lady of the family, and Wei Yangfan's mother is also a famous scholar.
"Because of his parents' work, Wei Yangfan grew up with his aunt since he was a child. He and his aunt have a very good relationship."
He and Liang Xiaonan were talking about the Wei family, his voice was very low, his intention was not to show off the Wei family, nor was he to gossip on purpose, but, ah, how should I put it, he is a big soldier, and he really can't do the kind of work that Miss Hu did. Son!
Liang Xiaonan didn't want to inquire about other people's affairs, but she suddenly had a strange feeling that she had met too many people surnamed Wei in the past few months, Wei Yangfan, Wei Xishi, Wei Jihai, and she thought of the last time Zhou Yan said that the unit Zhang Xinyi went to was Zhou Weiyu's Electronics Group, could these people with the surname Wei be part of the same family?
"Wei Xishi is Wei Yangfan's aunt?" She asked calmly.
"Yeah, how do you know?" Xiaoxi laughed to herself after asking this sentence.
Even though he had expected this a long time ago, Liang Xiaonan still sank in his heart. Wei Yangfan and Wei Xishi are aunts and nephews, and Zhang Xinyi recognized Wei Xishi as a godmother. Are the Wei family and Zhou Weiyu's family considered Zhang Xinyi's backers now?
"Oh, have you met Comrade Wei Xishi? Her savior is also from Yu County,"
Xiaoxi said with admiration, "She personally accompanied her benefactor back to Yu County. There is a villain who is harming her benefactor's family. I heard that the murderer is a pair of siblings saved by her mother. That is a real villain. Dad will fight."
