Chapter 42



After Song Tiantian explained the benefits of grape skins and grape seeds to He Jingnian and the others, she went to the kitchen to get two bowls and carefully put the peeled grape skins and grape seeds into them.

He Jingnian: "Tiantian, what are you doing?"

"I want to separate the grape skins and grape seeds, and make grape pectin and grape seed oil later." Song Tiantian ate the peeled flesh in one bite, and then took another grape and continued to peel it diligently.

"You can do this?" He Jingnian was stunned.

Song Tiantian said proudly to He Jingnian with her belly sticking out, "Of course, I know a lot!"

"But does what you make work?" He Jingnian strongly doubted it.

"Of course it worked."

"But that green bamboo ointment you just made doesn't seem to be working."

"It won't be useless." Song Tiantian tried to convince him, "If you don't believe me, just wait a few days and see. The scar on my father's hand will definitely be gone."

"Really?" He Jingnian's eyes were full of doubt, but he still said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll take a look in a few days. If it doesn't work, don't do it again."

"It will definitely be useful." Although Song Tiantian had never used Qingzhu Paste, she had no doubt about the prescription produced by the system.

At the Song Family Pharmacy, Grandma Song looked at Tiantian's confident expression in the livestream and couldn't help but look at her husband beside her: "Old Song, did you teach her how to make this Green Bamboo Ointment?"

"No." Grandpa Song was still confused. "I've never taught Tiantian how to make any ointment. Besides, she doesn't even know all the ingredients in the soup recipe song. How could I have the time to teach her anything else?"

"Why are people using Qingzhu ointment in the live broadcast room? Isn't it a prescription passed down from our pharmacy?" Grandma Song asked in confusion.

"I don't know either. Maybe there's something wrong?" Grandpa Song said curiously.

"Does the green bamboo ointment that Tiantian mentioned really have the effect of regenerating skin and removing scars?" Grandma Song was very curious about this.

"Until I figure out what this ointment is made of, I can't be sure." Grandpa Song said seriously, "But if Tiantian really makes something up and calls it an ointment for people to use, I will limit her ability to do it until she learns what Chinese medicine is."

Song Tiantian didn't know that Grandpa Song had targeted her and was preparing to restrict her from taking action.

On the other hand, Lu Chuanbei and Fang Xiuzhu sold their grapes and bamboo shoots, and then bought ingredients for lunch at the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as Lu Chuanbei saw the pickled meat hanging on the butcher's stall, he immediately said to Fang Xiuzhu, "Teacher Fang, shall we make pickled pork with preserved vegetables for lunch?"

"Okay, I happen to have some bamboo shoots at home. It will be delicious if we chop them up together." Fang Xiuzhu said as he took a few fresh tomatoes from the vegetable stall. "Also, I'm making a stir-fry of tomatoes and eggs. Nannan and Niannian both love them."

"Okay, I just happened to have a few eggs at home this morning, just enough for a plate."

While Lu Chuanbei and the others were buying groceries, Zhang Bosong was hanging up the phone with Director Liu, worrying about how to separate Lu Chuanbei and the others.

He looked at the two people who were still discussing something in the live broadcast room and couldn't help but sigh: "Let Fang Xiuzhu and the others cook separately? They have to know how to cook."

When he got home, Lu Chuanbei carried the vegetables into the kitchen.

Fang Xiuzhu saw that there was not much firewood inside and was about to carry some in from the yard when he saw He Xuebin walk in from outside, smelling of roses and looking happy: "Lao Fang, Xiao Lu, I found a flower field, it's full of roses!"

"I'm smelling like roses," Fang Xiuzhu said to him, "but since you've already found the flower field, why didn't you pick some?"

"This..." He Xuebin's smug expression suddenly froze.

Fang Xiuzhu looked at him with a somewhat ominous look: "Is there any accident again?"

"That's not a surprise." He Xuebin said hesitantly, "It's just that you have to pay tuition to pick flowers."

"What? I have to pay tuition to pick flowers?" Fang Xiuzhu looked at him in disbelief. "So, you don't owe any money, do you?"

"No, I just used roses as a compensation." He Xuebin quickly explained.

It turned out that after He Xuebin found the flower field, he realized that although roses could be picked at will, the roses in the field must not be damaged during the picking process.

Especially since it is the flowering season now, you need to be extra careful when picking roses.

For this reason, the person in charge of the flower field told He Xuebin that if he wanted to pick roses in the flower field, he must first learn how to pick and pack them. Only after he learned how to do it without damaging the roses could he enter the flower field to pick flowers.

"So, I paid some tuition, but not money. I was smart this time and used the roses I picked this morning to pay for it." He Xuebin said.

"Have you learned it?"

"I got it." He Xuebin nodded quickly and said, "Let's go to Rose Garden together this afternoon. I can teach you directly."

"Okay, let's discuss it with Xiao Lu and go to the rose field this afternoon."

"That's settled then." He Xuebin said, and was about to take the bunch of grapes from his son's hand.

He Jingnian quickly moved his hand away: "Dad, you haven't washed your hands yet!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go wash my hands first and then eat." After He Xuebin ate the grapes, he saw Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan sitting at the dining table in the main hall, looking down and picking something.

Upon seeing this, He Xuebin immediately stepped forward and looked at what the two little guys were holding.

He Xuebin was shocked when he saw this: "Nannan Tiantian, are you performing surgery on Grape?"

At the dining table, Xiangfangnan and Song Tiantian each held a toothpick, peeling and picking out the seeds from the grapes in their hands.

"No, we are peeling grapes." Song Tiantian said.

"Uncle, I see. But when you're peeling the grapes, why do you put the skins and seeds separately in the bowl?"

"I know this." He Jingnian picked it out and said, "Tiantian said she wanted to use the grape skins and seeds to make pectin oil, so she peeled the grapes here."

"It's grape pectin particles and grape seed oil." Xiangfangnan added.

"Yes, that's what Brother Nan said." He Jingnian nodded and said, "Tiantian said that this also has the effect of whitening and supplementing vitamins."

"Really? It sounds pretty impressive." He Xuebin agreed casually while eating grapes, taking it for granted.

After all, this kid comes out every now and then, so as long as it's not a big deal, it's just a small matter.

Xiangfangnan watched Song Tiantian peeling grapes for a long time. Her fingers began to blister and turn white. She couldn't help but move the fruit plate away and said, "Tiantian, stop peeling."

"Why?" Song Tiantian looked at him puzzledly: "I haven't peeled enough yet."

"Your fingers are turning white from peeling." Xiangfangnan frowned and said, "If you peel any more, your fingers will wrinkle."

"Ah." Song Tiantian then realized that her little finger had turned white from being soaked in grape juice. "Then don't peel it for now. Wait until your finger is healed before peeling it."

Hearing this, Xiangfangnan's brows couldn't help but frown: "Do you need to peel more?"

Song Tiantian said: "Well, there is too little to extract."

"I see."

After lunch, several children were left at home for a nap, while Lu Chuanbei and others put on their straw hats and went to the rose field to learn the techniques of picking and packaging roses from He Xuebin.

Although it is a bit troublesome, a bouquet of ten packaged roses can be sold for one dollar at the supply and marketing cooperative, which still makes them quite motivated.

In the grape courtyard, He Jingnian was snoring softly in his sleep, while Fang Fangnan, who was sleeping next to him, had already climbed out of bed.

Xiangfangnan closed the door, glanced at the room where Song Tiantian was taking a nap, and walked towards the kitchen.

【Why doesn't Nannan continue taking a nap? 】

[Haha, it must be Xiao Xiao He's snoring that woke me up.]

"But why is Nannan in the kitchen? Maybe she didn't eat enough at lunch and is hungry now?"

[It's possible that they ate a lot of grapes this morning and are hungry now.]

[But I see Nannan ate quite a bit at noon...]

Under the puzzled gaze of fans, Xiangfangnan came to the refrigerator in the kitchen.

I saw him open the refrigerator, stand on tiptoe and take out several bowls wrapped in plastic wrap.

[Aren't these... the grapes that Tiantian peeled with him this morning?]

[Nannan doesn't want to continue peeling grapes for Tiantian, right?]

【No way?】

[While Tiantian is still sleeping, give her grapes. This little one is so sweet.]

Xiangfangnan carried the bowl and placed it on the dining table in the main hall. He glanced at the grapes on the table, then looked at the grape skins and seeds in the bowl, which were only a few in number even after peeling them for the whole morning.

Xiangfangnan stood in front of the dining table for a while, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

[Didn't Nannan want to peel grapes? Why are you back in the kitchen?]

[Xiao Nannan is just too sweet. Why not just leave these grapes and let Song Tiantian peel them herself?]

Tiantian is such a troublemaker. Not only does she peel the grapes herself, but she also makes Nannan suffer as well.

[Yeah, what about grapeseed oil, grape pectin, or anything like that? I think she just wants to play house, so it's fun.]

[Nannan, don't worry about Grape. Go back to your room and get some sleep.]

Xiangfangnan came to the kitchen, moved a chair, stood in front of the cupboard, and took down the colander hanging on it.

Not only that, he also took a spoon and a bowl before returning to the main room.

Xiangfangnan put a few grapes on the colander and began to press it down with the spoon. After a few dripping sounds, the grape juice dripped from the colander into the bowl.

After pressing, the grape skin and seeds are quickly separated.

[…Nannan is really smart.]

I was wondering why he was holding the colander and chopsticks. Turns out he was grabbing tools.

Xiao Nannan is so clever! She actually thought of using a colander to separate the grape skins and seeds.
