Although Yan Xia could spend a little money to buy croton seeds, a laxative, from a pharmacy, she didn't want to harm ordinary people, as dehydration could endanger their lives.
Unsuspecting people who ingest this colorless and odorless laxative will only think they have eaten something wrong.
Even modern instruments cannot detect it, let alone ancient doctors.
Priced at 100 points.
Yan Xia bought it without hesitation.
A second later, a glass bottle the size of a palm appeared directly in front of her face.
Floating in mid-air.
Yan Xia caught it with her hands.
A slight smile appeared on her lips.
It flashed out of the space.
The medicine remained inside.
The next morning, Yan Xia took La Mei and Zhao Dali back to town.
The same principle applies: avoiding people's sight.
No one knew that Lamei had returned to the village, nor did anyone know that they had returned to the town.
Upon arriving at the shop, Yan Xia wrote down the secret recipe for the flower cakes on a piece of paper, using her left hand.
I deliberately didn't write down her usual font.
The few lines of writing on the paper looked like a dog crawling.
She omitted several steps, leaving the recipe for the flower cake incomplete, before drying the paper and handing it over to Lamei.
The paper was yellow paper that had been stored at the bottom of a box for a long time.
It looks all wrinkled.
After baking, it bears even more traces of time.
"Remember, just tell him that your mother bought this secret recipe from a traveling merchant from the southwest, and that the roses will only be available this summer. Don't let it slip, and pretend that your mother doesn't know anything, understand?"
Yan Xia handed the secret recipe to La Mei and gave her careful instructions.
His children were all by his side.
“Mother, can I go and give Jin Shou a beating? That brat is a traitor. Before, when we were in the Chen family, he was the youngest, and everyone protected him. To make sure he had enough to eat, my second sister would always cut back some of her rations for him. And my eldest brother, who is only a year older than us, always did the most work. Jin Shou always complained about being tired, and my eldest brother always helped him with the work. Mother, you treat him even better. He's helping the Chen family harm us.”
Jin Lu was furious.
"Alright, I know what I'm doing. You should also know why I didn't let him come back in the first place. Xiao He wasn't the main reason. Jin Fu, you should wake up too. You don't owe him anything, understand?"
Yan Xia looked at her eldest son's silent expression.
Then you'll know what he's thinking.
He simply felt indebted to his younger brother.
She felt like she had stolen his sweetheart.
"Mother, I understand. I won't interfere in this matter. From now on, I will only have one younger brother."
After saying this, Jin Fu went to the front shop.
Yan Xia did not return to the village tonight.
She is waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
Time flies.
Watching the winter plum blossoms emerge from the shop.
Yan Xia scooped a small jar of rose jam from the rose jam jar in the storage room and poured it into a basin.
I diluted it with sugar water and cornstarch.
The small bowl of rose jam was instantly filled to the top. Yan Xia poured half of the medicine into it, stirred it well, and then poured the rose jam into a large jar that was about knee-high.
Put it in the space.
Then I bought the transformation charm I used last time from the store.
She came out of the storeroom.
She told Guihua she was going for a stroll in the street, and then left through the backyard.
Yan Xia left the city gate.
They hid on the only road Jin Shou could take back to Baihua Village.
She timed it perfectly, used the transformation spell, and then took the jar out of her spatial storage.
In less than half an hour.
Then I saw Jin Shou's figure.
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Yan Xia called out to Jin Shou in a modern southern accent.
"Hey young man, could you do me a favor?"
Jin Shou didn't recognize the old woman in front of him as his mother at all.
He didn't quite understand what Yan Xia was saying.
His expression was very strange.
"So, I came to see my daughter, but my jar is too heavy, I really can't carry it. Could you watch the jar for me? I'm going to the city to find my daughter and ask my son-in-law to come and move the jar back. Oh, this jar is full of rose jam that I made this summer, it's so delicious. My daughter is pregnant and loves this, so I came all the way from the southwest, it took me more than half a month, and it really wore out my old bones. Young man, could you watch the jar for me? Just a little while, I'll be right there."
Yan Xia bowed.
She looks exactly like a woman in her sixties.
Jin Shou listened to her strange dialect, only vaguely understanding it.
"You mean, you want me to watch the jar for you while you go find your daughter and have her son-in-law carry it back to the city for you, right? Auntie, is that rose jam in the jar? Are you from the southwest?"
"It's vegetarian, it's just rose jam, it's a local specialty, it's really delicious. Look, I've been pickling it all summer long, otherwise the coachman would have left me in the countryside, and I wouldn't have had to carry this jar all this way with my old bones."
Yan Xia opened the jar and showed it to Jin Shou.
The rose jam, which should have been a mix of red and purple, became much lighter in color after being diluted with cornstarch and sugar syrup.
It looks exceptionally pink and tender.
It makes you want to take a bite.
The aroma of the roses is exceptionally strong due to the long pickling process.
Jin Shou could smell it even from half a meter away.
His eyes flickered.
He immediately agreed to Yan Xia's request.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. Auntie, hurry back, I need to go back to the neighboring county."
"Thank you, young man, I'll be right there."
Yan Xia beamed with joy.
The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made his gray hair at the temples look even older.
Jin Shou watched Yan Xia leave.
Seeing that she had disappeared, he quickly picked up the jar of rose jam and ran.
