Xiao Yunying opened the jar, took out two safflowers, and smelled them. They had a faint sweet and sour smell, like fermented grains.
Luo Yang asked, "What is this?"
Xiao Yunying put the lid on the jar: "This is safflower. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, removing blood stasis, and relieving pain. However, pregnant women cannot use it, as a large dose may cause miscarriage."
Setting down the jar, Luo Yang picked up the snow frog oil and examined it, then asked, "What is this?"
"Dried snow frog oil, the oil from an amphibian called snow frog, can lower blood lipids, treat skin diseases, tonify the kidneys and enhance male virility, and also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects. It is a relatively nourishing tonic."
This is good for menopausal women; you can give it to her mother.
Luo Li craned her neck to look curiously at the things on the table: "Mother, how do you know everything?"
Xiao Yunying flicked his forehead: "I'm an adult, so naturally I know more. Next year I'll send you to school. You must study hard so that you won't be ignorant when you grow up."
Luo Li chuckled, "I understand, I want to be as smart as Mother."
Xiao Yunying smiled and said, "Stop flattering me."
The complete set of knives contains six knives for various purposes, all of which have been sharpened.
Xiao Yunying picked up the kitchen knife and rubbed the blade with the side of her thumb. Luo Chen said, "Don't hurt your hand."
Xiao Yunying put down the knife: "No, it won't happen."
Why would Madam Chen give you a knife?
For ordinary people, practical gifts are usually given, while for wealthy families, exquisite and expensive gifts are usually given. No one would give a knife as a gift.
Xiao Yunying was very satisfied with the knife: "Madam Chen tries her best to appear gentle and kind in front of me, but in reality, her kindness is genuine and her gentleness is fake."
Her personality isn't like that of typical women here; she doesn't just put on a show. She must have inquired about what kind of person I am, knowing I enjoy cooking, and specifically sought out the knives.
As Mrs. Chen said, these gifts were not frivolous or impractical; they were quite valuable and something she could actually use. They were not perfunctory; they were thoughtfully chosen specifically for her.
She preferred these things to those that were only for looking at but not for use.
Luo Xin couldn't see because she was standing on tiptoe, so Xiao Yunying simply picked her up and put her on a stool to stand.
"Mom, what are these dried flowers?"
"This isn't dried flowers, it's dried bamboo fungus, a type of cryptogamic fungus that parasitizes the roots of dead bamboo. It's one of the eight delicacies of herbs and tastes delicious."
Like snow fungus, bamboo fungus was a precious ingredient in ancient times, but it is more common than snow fungus.
Bamboo fungus does not grow in the environment surrounding Donglin City, so many people do not know what it is.
The bamboo fungus in the box looked very good. Mrs. Chen was very thoughtful; fearing that she might not recognize it, she put a piece of paper in both the food and the medicine, explaining what it was and how to use it.
The ginseng doesn't look very big, but it's over a hundred years old. This is really a valuable thing; it could potentially save a life in a critical moment.
She liked the tea set the most; it had a sky-blue porcelain glaze and an openwork carved exterior, making it almost transparent.
Xiao Yunying picked up a teacup and exclaimed, "What beautiful porcelain!"
Luo Chen said, "What's so interesting about a permeable tea set that imitates official kiln porcelain?"
Xiao Yunying put down her teacup and decided to use this set herself: "Can we use the official kiln set?"
"...No, only those in the palace and ministers of the third rank or above can use it."
"That settles it. If I can't use the genuine product, can't I at least use the counterfeit one?"
There's nothing wrong with imitations of official kiln porcelain; the fact that Madam Chen gave it to her means it's usable, and even if it's an imitation, the price must not be low.
"I'm keeping this set for myself. You guys can use the set that Sister Cheng Yue brought for drinking water."
Luo Chen pursed his lips and said, "If you like it, I will definitely let you use genuine official kiln-made transparent porcelain in the future."
Xiao Yunying was really worried. Although she didn't know what their family's status was or what they had done, the ancient laws were quite strict. It seemed that families of criminals could not re-enter the court for several generations.
She couldn't bear to discourage the boy: "Okay, you said it. I'll choose it myself then, and I want the best-looking one."
"good."
Xiao Yunying moved her things into her room, and since no one followed, she put them directly into the supermarket.
On the other side of the carriage.
Madam Chen sat in the main seat of the carriage, flanked by two maids.
The maid on the left asked, "Is Madam satisfied with Miss Xiao?"
Madam Chen said, "She's a good girl. I'm at ease knowing that Yuancheng is befriending her."
The maid on the right said, "The eldest young master has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood. The people he chooses to associate with must be of good character."
Madam Chen said worriedly, "My son won't do. That girl doesn't have feelings for him."
The maid on the left asked, "Does Madam mean she agrees?"
"What good is my agreement? We'll see if my son has the ability."
It's no big deal that she's been married before. Anyway, the man she married ran away on their wedding day, so they probably didn't have sex. At worst, she can arrange for the girl to get a divorce.
Besides, judging from the girl's expression, she doesn't seem to like that man either, which makes things much easier.
The most important thing now is to make the girl like her son.
