It costs fifty-four cents to buy chicken, twenty-one cents to eat noodles, six cents to ride in an ox cart, and sixteen cents to buy pancakes, a total of ninety-seven cents, with one tael and three cents left.
The three of them got on the bullock cart. It was not time yet, so Lao Hongtou took the three of them and went back to the village early.
The chickens in the basket were chirping non-stop, one of them was very cute and fluffy.
Old Hongtou heard the chicken crow and asked curiously:
"Did you buy chickens?"
"Yes, I bought four, two roosters and two hens!" Su Wan replied immediately.
"It's good to raise chickens. You can eat meat during the Chinese New Year, and you can lay eggs in half a year. As farmers, we look forward to a good harvest of food at home, and the livestock at home are free from disease and disaster. As long as there is no bad year, this will Life will be easier!"
Although the old man is usually serious, Su Wan and the others often ride in his car, and there is a scholar in their family. Whenever he sees the Su brothers and sisters, he is always friendly and can chat with them.
What he said is right. The common people are looking forward to a better life, as long as they are free from illness and disaster.
Staggering back to the village, the brothers are idle today. The rice cannot be shelled all at once, otherwise the rice will be stored in the warehouse and worms will grow over time. I don’t know what the husks are used for. Su Wan just bought some chickens and they were just used to feed the chickens. They were great!
The osmanthus oil she soaked in has already developed a fragrance. She picked a lot of them at once, leaving part of it to make almond oil and goat milk soap, and part of it to make flower soap. It would be great if she could still get some other flowers. The floral water is purified by distillation.
In fact, Su Wan has always had an idea. It would be great if some ingredients that are good for hair could be added to the soap to make a shampoo soap.
Grind it into juice and mix it with osmanthus almond oil to make a soap that can be used to wash your hair.
Rich people use soap locust in their homes, which smells bad. After washing, they put balm on their hair to maintain the fragrance. Moreover, washing hair was very complicated for the ancients, and it took time to dry. Adhering to the principle that the body's hair and skin should be taken care of by their parents, Washing hair is a big deal for them. They get up early in the morning to boil water and comb their hair. The hair of both men and women is long and thick. It is very troublesome to take care of it without conditioner. The egg white used by ordinary merchants is used by the royal family. Aloe vera gel is used by nobles, but in autumn and winter, dry hair is also a problem, and it is easy to catch wind and cold.
Poor people cannot afford soap locust, so they can only use rice water, precipitated plant ash water, or hibiscus leaves to wash their hair, and there is no balm to rub it on.
If she can make a shampoo soap that smells good, washes cleanly, and the price is within everyone's acceptable range, it will definitely be very popular.
However, you have to ask your second brother about this question. If you ask him, you will know which Chinese herbal plants are good for hair. He is a medical student and should know.
Su Wan knew Polygonum multiflorum, but Polygonum multiflorum was a high-end medicinal material that ordinary people could not afford.
After thinking about it all the way, she returned home and divided the leek and meat sesame cakes among her brothers. When Su Yun saw that she had brought back the chicks, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
After eating sesame cakes, I couldn't wait to go to the mountain to cut bamboo and prepare to build a fence in the corner of the yard to raise chickens.
But before that, the six brothers and sisters put the IOU in the fire pit and burned it completely until it turned into ashes.
The debt has been paid off, and everyone is relieved. In a few days, the eldest brother and the second brother will go back to the county, studying and working.
Jiang Yu has woken up, his consciousness has returned to clarity, and he has completely passed the dangerous period. He is just waiting for the wounds to slowly recover. This cycle is a bit long. He has too many sword wounds on his body. In addition, his vitality has been seriously damaged after detoxification, and his internal energy is severely damaged. Dyspnea requires treatment, and it will take at least several months to fully recover.
He can eat slowly now. After drinking rice soup for so many days, he can't see his eyes anymore. He looks like a sickly and beautiful man.
Su Wan bought leek and meat sesame cakes, still thinking about his portion. During dinner, Su Mu took the heated sesame cakes and a bowl of rice porridge with minced meat for him to eat.
Now he can only eat liquid food or light food.
"Drink the medicine first, and then eat to cushion it!"
Jiang Yu was blindfolded, and his eyes couldn't see bright light, but Su Mu would wash his eyes with warm water every day. Now he only felt that his eyes were astringent and painful, and at first they were a little spicy, and he couldn't see anything.
"Thank you!"
His voice was not very confident when he spoke. If it weren't for the fact that he was a martial arts practitioner and his martial arts was quite high, an ordinary person would have hated Northwest for such a serious injury.
Even if one can temporarily save one's life, it may not be possible without absolute medical standards.
It can only be said that this person has a long life, and he can still have medicine to contain the poison when he is poisoned. This just shows that his status is either rich or noble, and it is by no means simple.
When Jiang Yu said thank you, Su Mu was not humble. He talked little and had a cold temper. Jiang Yu himself could feel this after these days.
He already knew that this family was composed of six brothers and sisters. Their parents were not at home. It was the daughter of this family who insisted on saving him in the Tutu Temple at that time, and the young man who treated him happened to be able to detoxify the poison of Qixing Begonia. , thus saving his life.
The fourth child of the family told him about the ups and downs of the process.
Su Yun's mouth was the loudest. After Jiang Yu woke up, he would hear him murmuring in his ears from time to time. It was strange and not very pleasant.
It's similar to asking about his identity and why he is being chased here. Will he attract enemies and harm their family?
Jiang Yu naturally did not reveal his identity. He only said that he was a wanderer in the world and had provoked some killers in the world. In their eyes, he was dead and would not cause trouble again.
The medicine and food were placed on the table. Jiang Yu could not see them. He was half leaning on the couch and could only see the dim candlelight through the veil. He could not keep his eyes open for too long, otherwise they would become dry and stinging. And thus shed tears.
Seeing him reaching out to fumble, Su Mu took the initiative to give him the medicine bowl.
"Thank you!"
The two of them were very polite, and he drank the bitter concoction without batting an eyelid.
After drinking rice soup for so many days, I am not very hungry. Today is Ci Shi's first meal.
Therefore, even if it was a very ordinary bowl of meat porridge and an ordinary piece of sesame seed cake, he ate it with gusto.
I am used to tasting delicacies from mountains and seas, but suddenly I tasted the food of ordinary people, and I found it delicious.
"What's this?"
Su Mu was writing something under the candlelight. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at him. He had already eaten half of the sesame seed cake in his hand.
"Leek Shaobing, my little sister bought it and specially saved one for you!"
The little girl he was talking about was probably the little girl with a soft and waxy voice. She still smelled of sweet-scented osmanthus and her hands were soft and cool.
