Aunt Zhou put the stems and roots of the purple flowers in the basket and said with a smile: "This thing is called nard. You can make spices by drying the stems and roots."
Aunt Wang suddenly realized it and hurriedly helped to dig together, "I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in making incense. Even the stems and roots of this weed can be made into spices."
Aunt Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, not only can it be used to make incense, but it can also be used as a medicinal material. The stems and roots of this spikenard are dried and ground into powder, and then mixed with Cyperus rotunda and agarwood to make fragrant pills. It not only has a fragrant aroma that wakes up the spleen, but also cures diseases. .”
"So magical?" Aunt Wang looked at the small stems and leaves, her face full of surprise.
Aunt Zhou dug again with a small hoe, then picked a small stem and handed it to her and said: "In addition to making incense, this nard can also remove the odor in the mouth. Usually, you only need to take a small piece and put it on the Chew it and swallow it, and you won’t have any taste in your mouth for the whole day.”
This method is commonly used by many concubines in the palace, especially those who serve the emperor. They are afraid that the taste in their mouths will smell to the emperor.
Farmers, for example, are not so particular.
This was the first time Aunt Wang heard about it. She took the stems and leaves in her hand and chewed them in her mouth. ?.?????.???
The newly picked stems and leaves were a bit bitter, so Aunt Wang swallowed the nard stems with her eyes closed, and then blew into her palms.
I saw a faint fragrance floating in the breath I exhaled.
She laughed in surprise: "Ah, it really smells good!"
Aunt Zhou chewed one herself, "Let's quickly pick some and take them back, otherwise we won't find them next time."
"Okay." Aunt Wang responded with a smile, suddenly full of energy.
The two men started working with small hoes.
They are busy here, but the Sun family's sister-in-law is suffering a lot.
The Sun family's sister-in-law woke up from a coma and saw that her hands and feet were tied. She quickly called out: "Who are you? How dare you tie me up!"
The gangster outside the ruined temple heard the noise inside and frowned impatiently, "Why did this peasant woman wake up so quickly?"
The tall boss said: "Go and tell her to shut up and scream too loudly so as not to attract the attention of passers-by."
"Okay, brother." The two gangsters on the side responded quickly, and then rolled up their sleeves and walked into the room where the Sun family's sister-in-law was detained.
When Mrs. Sun saw someone coming in, she quickly cursed at them: "Who are you? Why did you tie me up?!"
The gangster didn't answer her, just came up and stuffed a smelly rag into her mouth.
Mrs. Sun struggled desperately, with a pair of fierce eyes, eager to rush forward and fight with the gangsters.
After the gangster gagged their mouths, he clapped his hands and said, "Why are you kidnapped? Who told you not to sell the shop! If you had sold it earlier, would Mr. Sun be able to do so many things?"
Mrs. Sun was shocked when she heard this. She used her throat to make a loud voice and asked: "Did Mr. Sun send you here?"
However, the sound coming from the throat was not clear, and the gangster could not hear a word clearly. He raised his foot and kicked Mrs. Sun, "Don't look at me with that look, what? Do you still want to do it?" "
His kick happened to hit Mrs. Sun in the stomach.
Mrs. Sun whined in pain, fell to the ground and rolled over holding her belly.
At this time, the gangster on the side advised: "Okay, we are just looking for money, don't hit anyone."
The gangster squatted on the ground, looked at Mrs. Sun and said with a smile: "Mr. Sun didn't say we can't hit people. Look how arrogant this peasant woman is. If I don't hit her twice, I won't be able to get out of my anger."
Mrs. Sun stared, looking like a vicious dog, eager to greet his eighteenth generation ancestors.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell this at a glance.
The other gangster who persuaded him stopped talking and left directly. Before leaving, he told him: "After you get the money, don't kill anyone!"
The gangster turned back and smiled: "Don't worry, no matter what, we are not as cruel as Mr. Sun. The Liu family's shop was burned down when asked. I heard that a woman was burned to death inside."
The leaving gangster paused, "We have nothing to do with this matter, so be careful what you say."
"Okay, be careful what you say!" The gangster was a little impatient. He looked at Mrs. Sun and kicked her again, "I heard that the Zhou family used to be a farmer, so why did they open a shop?"
The gangster who was about to leave rolled his eyes at him, "You are just looking at people, why do you care so much?!"
After that, he turned around and left here.
Mrs. Sun, who was lying on the ground, heard this
