After dinner, little Su Xuanhe enthusiastically performed a small "tooth-changing ceremony" under the guidance of Mrs. Yang.
Although there was a small incident in the process of throwing the lower front teeth onto the roof, and the teeth rolled down along the tiles and hit Su Xuanhe's head, but overall the two fallen baby teeth were successfully placed where they should be.
Su Xuanhe was not used to the sudden loss of two teeth and couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick the place where the two teeth were missing.
Yang turned around and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes without paying attention, but Su Qingluan saw it two or three times.
So when the second brother licked his gums again, she patted his arm gently: "Don't lick your teeth." Su Qingluan pointed to her own teeth, "If you keep licking them, it will easily make the new teeth crooked."
In addition, she should also pay attention to her recent diet, and avoid eating food that is too hard or difficult to chew. Otherwise, if the kid loses a few teeth after taking a bite, crying is secondary. The key is that the chewing function will be affected.
If you chew on one side or a few teeth, it is easy to cause deformity of the newly erupted permanent teeth.
Of course, Su Qingluan was a chef in her previous life. The reason why she has such understanding of dental problems is that she almost fell into all these pitfalls when she was changing her teeth. As a result, because the permanent teeth that erupted were crooked, she had to wear orthodontic braces throughout her middle school years.
What a painful realization!
The key point is that she still had the opportunity for orthodontic treatment in her previous life, but in this life, if her silly brother's permanent teeth really grow crooked, there will be no chance of correction!
She turned her head and looked at Su Xueyan, who was laughing non-stop because Su Xuanhe was missing a tooth. "Don't just laugh, you should also pay attention!"
"But it's still a long time before I change my teeth." Su Xueyan blinked her watery eyes, "Even if I remember it now, I'll forget it by then!"
Su Qingluan: ...
What she said made so much sense that I was speechless!
Forget it, let’s talk about it when the time comes - Su Qingluan thought with some recklessness.
At this time, Su Guangfu came in with a soft sweat towel, called Su Xuanhe, and asked him to follow him.
"Father, where are you taking my brother?"
"Yeah," Su Qingluan was also a little curious, "It's almost getting dark."
"I'm going to take Erzhuang to the river to take a bath. You two can come with A Niang later."
That’s right, if people in Huaxi Village want to take a bath, unless they really can’t go down to the river in the cold winter, they will go to the river that flows through the village to wash.
Especially now that it is summer, it is like a natural bathing place for the people of Huaxi Village.
Su Qingluan understood that taking a hot bath in this era would probably waste a lot of firewood, not to mention that filling the wooden tub for bathing was a very time-consuming and laborious task.
Therefore, since she traveled through time, Su Qingluan tried her best to relieve herself by the river and went there alone in her underwear.
The temperature of the river water is suitable in summer. For this reason, she was very glad that she traveled through time in early summer so that she could have a relatively convenient environment for washing.
But what day is today? Why is it necessary for the whole family to take such a grand bath together?
Su Qingluan asked Yang out of curiosity, and Yang smiled and said, "Silly girl, have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival. Everyone should wash themselves clean so that they can wear new clothes. When we worship the Weaver Girl, she also likes clean girls, right?"
Su Qingluan nodded, suddenly realizing.
After his father and his younger brother left, Yang still had some work to do. Su Qingluan took out the remaining soybeans and picked out the bad ones to prepare for oil extraction.
Yang, however, didn't know her eldest daughter's intention in picking beans, so she asked curiously, "Daya, are you going to make tofu tomorrow? You bought so many beans, are you planning a tofu feast?"
Su Qingluan shook her head: "Mother, I bought the beans to make oil!"
Yang was stunned by this: "You bought so many beans just to make oil? Why don't you buy some to use instead? Our family can still afford some soybean oil, even if nothing else!"
When Su Qingluan heard what Yang said, the handful of beans in her hand all fell to the ground with a "clatter".
She couldn't help but jump up and said, "So there's a place selling soybean oil? Why haven't we seen any at home?"
Yang smiled and said, "Of course we have soybean oil. Not only soybean oil, but also sesame oil. But we have candles at home, so we don't need soybean oil or sesame oil."
Hmm? Candles? What does this have to do with soybean oil?
Su Qingluan asked Yang a few more questions before she understood: although there was vegetable oil in this era, the labor cost of production was far greater than the products of modern industrial assembly lines, and there was no method of removing impurities such as low-temperature cold pressing. Therefore, the soybean oil of this era had many impurities and a strong bean smell, and would emit black smoke if not handled with care.
Moreover, people of this era used more "fat" when cooking, which is various animal oils. For the cooking method of this era that does not involve frying or stir-frying, animal oil is completely sufficient.
As for vegetable oil, which requires enormous manpower to obtain, it is not edible - at least not for human consumption.
During this era, soybean oil and sesame oil—also known as sesame oil—were primarily used for lighting oil lamps. Sesame oil, due to its richer aroma, was only used by the wealthy and powerful, and for ancestor worship and offerings to gods and Buddhas.
As for soybean oil, it is not affordable for ordinary people. Compared with soybean oil, ordinary people prefer to use candles - after all, as long as the candle is burned, the wax is collected, melted, reshaped and added to a wick to make a new candle.
Although candles themselves will also be damaged, compared with oil lamps, "recyclable" candles are still much cheaper.
After hearing this, Su Qingluan almost screamed to the sky: It turned out that she had wasted so much time and missed so many fried delicacies!
She originally thought that there was no soybean oil in that era, but it turned out that people just didn't use soybean oil for cooking!
"Mother, where is the store that sells soybean oil? I want to go buy some."
"It's not too late to buy it tomorrow," Yang smiled and stood at the door holding Su Xueyan in one hand and looked back at her, "Let's go to the river to take a bath first."
Su Qingluan: ...
What else could she do? Of course, it was her mother's order, so she dared not disobey.
When the mother and her two children were almost at the river, they happened to meet Su Guangfu leading his second son back from the river. When they met them, they urged them, "Hurry up and go. There's a thicket next to the river bend below. It's hidden from view and is a good spot to take up position."
After hearing this, Yang nodded and immediately took her two daughters over.
Su Qingluan didn't feel comfortable taking a nude bath. Yang knew that her eldest daughter was shy, so she brought her an extra set of underwear for her to change into after taking a bath. While her two daughters were bathing, she watched to see if there were any strangers approaching.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky gradually darkened, and there was even the sound of muffled thunder.
Seeing this, Su Qingluan quickly washed her younger sister who was still playing in the water and said, "Hurry up, Xueyan, it's going to rain!"
