Su Qingluan also knew why Yang didn't go to rest so late at night.
Sure enough, when Yang pushed the door open, she was holding a bowl of steaming food in her hand. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that she was holding something under her armpit.
Su Qingluan: ...Could it be that she, who wanted to sell Amway, was the one being sold instead?
Just as Su Qingluan had thought, Yang brought the steaming bowl to her and said, "Drinking this bowl will make you feel less uncomfortable."
"What is this?" Su Qingluan did not speak rashly.
It's not that she doesn't trust Yang, but if anyone has encountered such strange "folk remedies" as "chicken gallbladder", "boy's urine eggs" and "dog blood wine", they will be more cautious before consuming anything in the future.
Of course, the above things were also because Su Qingluan was particularly cautious and had not been "exorcised" - otherwise Su Qingluan was afraid that her soul would ascend to heaven.
"It's ginger and jujube tea. I put a little bit of motherwort in it." Yang said, glaring at Su Qingluan. "Don't worry, it's not something weird. Motherwort can be used in prescriptions. If you're really worried, go ask the people at Huichuntang!"
"Oh, mother, I didn't say anything else, why are you still angry?" Su Qingluan felt a little guilty: Well, she didn't take those "folk remedies" that Yang asked her to take before.
...But there probably aren't many people who are willing to swallow bitter bile and drink dog blood...
The flavor of motherwort in this ginger and jujube tea wasn't very strong, clearly not a lot of it. Su Qingluan knew that motherwort, as its name suggested, could relieve menstrual discomfort—after all, in her past life, this herb was familiar to many women.
After getting closer and smelling it, she found no strange fishy smell, so Su Qingluan drank the ginger and jujube tea with motherwort in one gulp.
Seeing that she had finished drinking, Yang took the bowl and put it on the table - this round table was added later. With such a piece of furniture, Su Qingluan no longer had to sit on a small stool or lie on the bedside table when she wanted to write and draw in her room.
Then, she took out the thing that she had been carefully placing under me, and introduced it to me in a very precious way.
Oh no!
Su Qingluan muttered in her heart: It’s just as expected, it’s a menstrual belt.
She was at a loss for words and said, "Mother, didn't I tell you that I know how to use this menstrual belt? I've even done it on Yunniang."
"How can the stuff made by your little girl be as good as the stuff your mother and I have been using? Can I, your mother, harm you?" Yang took out the menstrual belt, and her eyes gave a feeling of "You really don't know the value of it."
Hey, I have a bad temper! The little flame of unwillingness to admit defeat in Su Qingluan's heart was ignited online: When it comes to other things, she is basically quite Buddhist, but if someone says that her innovation level is not up to standard, then she wants to see who is not up to standard!
She just couldn't believe that the thing she had been thinking about for two or three months, looking up menstrual belts of this era, and integrating all the advantages of sanitary napkins in her previous life could be inferior to the things from Yang's?
So Su Qingluan couldn't wait to open her bedside table and start searching inside.
"Hey, kid, I'm going to tell you how to use this, what are you doing?" Startled by Su Qingluan's sudden movement of standing up and rummaging through the drawers, Yang looked up at her.
"Since mother said that yours is the good stuff, naturally I have to take out my 'work' to compare!" Su Qingluan looked back at Yang, then turned around to look for it - except for the one Su Qingluan was trying out, Su Qingluan placed the rest in a lower position. Now it was dark, and the dim light made it difficult for her to search, so she could only grope one by one.
Yang shook her head, feeling somewhat amused and helpless. "What's there to compete for? It's just a menstrual belt..."
She thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. After more than two years of getting along with her, she already knew that although her eldest daughter seemed very good-tempered, she often had some strange and incomprehensible desire to win.
Like now.
However, soon, Yang's idea was reversed by Su Qingluan.
According to Yang, the things she used had been used by generations, so they must be very useful, which was why this method was passed down. However, no matter what benefits she said about menstrual belts, Su Qingluan could always make her own "menstrual belt" - although she called it "sanitary pants" - surpass the original menstrual belt with its superior performance.
For example, the menstrual belt has thin strings at both ends, which makes it easy to tie and fix, and will not move back and forth. As long as you are careful, you can reduce the risk of "leakage";
After the improvement, Su Qingluan made the entire "sanitary pants" into a shape similar to modern underwear, referring to the shape of a series of "safety pants", and used the entire shorts as a menstrual belt. The original long menstrual belt was added with rear tails and side wings, and even the refill was of this shape.
Originally, the Yang family used wood ash as the filling material. This material was very common and had good absorbency. More importantly, it was sterilized at high temperatures. Even though people in that era didn't have the concept of "sterilization," wood ash was indeed much safer and more hygienic than many other filling materials.
However, Su Qingluan felt that although such fillings provided a certain degree of safety, they were not comfortable enough. So she simply put cotton wool that had been sterilized with high-temperature steam and dried under the white gauze that had been exposed to high temperature, and then spread out finely. This made the stool more comfortable, and the cotton wool was also a good moisture-absorbing material.
