179 Chapter 179 Antidote
“Alright, I’ll ask him to come over after we’re done with breakfast.” Zhou Ying said.
“Okay, I’ll leave you to your stuff.” After Sister Tian finished speaking, she turned around and went home.
Zhou Ying turned around and went to the kitchen. She first entered the interspace and saw Gu Chengrui still busy in the laboratory, so she didn’t interrupt him and went cooking.
When she returned from her cooking, Gu Chengrui was already sitting at the side with his eyes closed and resting. She said, “Let’s eat, and we’ll talk after we finish the rest.”
“Alright, let’s have our meal first.” Gu Chengrui agreed and left the interspace with her.
After they had their fill, Zhou Ying told him about Chunhong’s sprain. “Do you want to go and take a look?”
“Yeah, I’ll go out and get a breeze of fresh air. I feel like I’ve walked into a dead end.”
“Go ahead, and you’d better have a good sleep when you come back before continuing.” Zhou Ying reminded him as she began to clean up the dishes.
Gu Chengrui went to Widow Hua’s place and went to sleep in the interspace after he returned.
Zhou Ying was afraid that more people would come, so she locked her door and went into the mountains with Zhuang Er.
When they were deep in the mountains, she brought Er Zhuang into her interspace and let him go around to play.
Meanwhile, she took out some soybeans and green beans and went to the workshop to make some yuba and vermicelli using her machines.
After all, with the progress of the manor’s workshop, even the slightest delay would result in a shortage of goods.
After she was done, she made a pot of beef bone, tendon, and meat soup. She planned to turn this into a pot of sour beef soup when she returned home.
After she was done, she called Er Zhuang back, and the two left the space.
She just happened to encounter a wild rooster and three hens looking for food in the grass. Thus, she immediately took out an air gun and shot the rooster’s head.
At the same time, Er Zhuang pounced on the fattest hen and bit its neck, scaring the other two hens away.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she went forward and picked up the two chickens. “Let’s go, Er Zhuang. I’ll make you some chicken stew tonight.”
After that, she and her dog walked down the mountain. By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, the sun had already set. From afar, she saw Mrs. Wang wandering around at the entrance, and she paused for a moment before quickening her pace. “Auntie, do come in and sit.”
Zhou Ying offered as she took out a key and opened her door.
Mrs. Wang shook her head. “It’s fine. I’m just here to ask how Chengrui’s progress is going, as my daughter has to return tomorrow morning.”
“Well, he went to the clinic today to try making an antidote, but I don’t know the specific situation.
“I’ll have him look for you when he returns.”
“Can he come over regardless of whether the antidote can be made? If there isn’t an antidote, giving her a prescription to recuperate her body first is fine too.”
“Alright, I’ll remember that.” Zhou Ying affirmed, and she handed the hen to her. “I got this from the mountain just now. Take it back and make a bowl of chicken soup for her.”
“No need. I…”
“Just take it. We can’t finish two chickens.” Zhou Ying insisted as she handed the hen to her.
Mrs. Wang thought of her daughter’s weak state and took it in the end. After thanking Zhou Ying, Mrs. Wang returned home.
In the evening, Zhou Ying made four dishes, a sour beef soup, a chicken mushroom stew, stir-fried celery, and a plate of mixed radish salad.
Of course, Er Zhuang was rewarded with beef soup with some bones, meat, and two steamed buns.
When she entered the interspace, she saw Gu Chengrui sitting on the sofa on the first floor, leisurely drinking some tea and snacking on some beef jerky.
“Look at you; you’ve made the antidote?” She asked with a smile.
