Chapter 501 Seven White Ointment
"Is it enough?"
If it’s not enough, you can add more.
“That’s enough!”
Ning Jiandong took the money and bills and put them in his pocket. Fifty yuan plus these bills were almost as much as a worker's two-month salary. If it was still not enough, he would be considered a spendthrift.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to use it all.”
The family of three did not comment on what he said, so this possibility does not exist.
The locals definitely can’t use it all, and the ones coming from Guangzhou are simply not enough.
Especially if you have many friends and relatives, and they all come to the island, there are so many high-quality, affordable seafood, it would be embarrassing not to buy some to share with your friends and relatives.
So, “Go check it out first.”
Talk after reading.
"Okay."
So Ning Jiandong said goodbye to the couple, carried his backpack and went to the market under the guidance of Wen's mother.
Wen Shi, who didn't need to send anyone to the dock, said hello to Yi Chichi and went to the dock.
When he was the only one left in the room, Yi Chichi took out the photos left by Ning Jiandong and the painting tools, and prepared to copy the photos at a scale of 1:5.
Because she couldn't sit or stand for a long time, she planned to spend a week to replicate it.
Once you immerse yourself in something, time will pass quickly.
Before she had finished drawing much, Wen's mother came back sweating and panting.
The first thing he did when he got home was drink some water. After that, he went over to her and glanced at the drawing paper. "Don't you have a photo already? Why are you drawing it again?"
"I'm just sitting around doing nothing."
It was mainly for show, to show her seriousness and dedication to the family portrait.
The photo is too small. Enlarging the family portrait five times will give it a clearer visual effect, reduce the chance of error, and allow for better handling of details.
"Uncle Ning is back? He bought things pretty quickly!"
She kept moving her hands and said something casually.
Wen's mother was silent for a moment and asked, "Is it fast?"
Her daughter-in-law must have been so focused on painting that she forgot to check the time.
"I shopped for over two hours and bought a ton of stuff. I was exhausted, but at least I left happily."
Yi Chichi paused, what the hell, more than two hours have passed?
I picked up the watch beside me and looked at the time. Wow, it was already past eleven o'clock.
However, "Wen Shi hasn't brought back lunch yet."
Wen's mother was calm, "Maybe something delayed me."
That was true. She put down her paintbrush, picked up the cup and drank some water. "What did Uncle Ning buy?"
"He bought a lot, but he didn't have enough money, otherwise he would have cleared the market."
After going to the market and seeing the dazzling array of seafood, island specialty fruits and fabrics woven by ethnic minority villagers, Ning Jiandong's eyes lit up like a mouse jumping into a rice jar.
Every hair on his body spoke of his excitement and delight.
"When I went there, he said he couldn't spend all the fifty dollars. When I got there, fifty dollars wasn't enough, so I gave him an extra twenty dollars. Plus the ten dollars he took out, the total he spent was eighty dollars."
If you buy something big like a watch or a bicycle, the expense is actually not that big.
But if you buy seafood and dried fruits, the cost will be very high.
As a market of origin for seafood and dried fruits, the prices of these things are not high, which also means that Ning Jiandong buys large quantities.
At this moment, Yi Chichi finally understood why Wen's mother came back exhausted and out of breath.
It was simple, he just did the hard labor and helped Ning Jiandong deliver the things to the dock.
"Has he got any money on him?"
Don’t buy too much, or you won’t have enough money for the return trip.
"Yes. I asked him when we got to the dock. He had thirty left, enough for him to go back."
That's enough, there's some left.
Just then, a soldier came running to deliver food.
It was arranged by Wen Shi. He had a meeting to attend and was worried that it would be inconvenient for Yi Chichi since Wen's mother was not at home, so he arranged for someone to prepare the meal and send it back.
But I didn't expect to hear my mother coming back.
Fortunately, he prepared in advance and asked the young man to print two copies.
This kid came to our house for the first time, and he looked very reserved. After entering the house and answering questions, he pointed his toes outward, as if he was ready to rush out at any time.
When Wen's mother saw this, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She took the lunch box, thanked him, and then grabbed a handful of White Rabbit snacks and forced them into his mouth.
The younger brother refused, but it was useless because Wen's mother would not accept the refusal.
In the end, the young man left with the White Rabbit coffee and the apple that Yi Chichi gave him.
The apple was brought by Ning Jiandong. It was not as big, crispy and sweet as the apples of later generations. Instead, it was more sour than sweet, and one bite of it made your mouth water.
He brought a bag of more than ten pieces. Yi Chichi ate one and the young man gave him two, so there were still a lot left.
She looked at the remaining apples with some worry, "Mom, are you really not going to eat them?"
"No, it makes me so sour!"
Wen's mother doesn't like apples. She tasted one when Yi Chichi was eating one before. The taste was more sour than sweet, and she couldn't help drooling when she thought about it now.
"You like to eat more!"
However, Yi Chichi also felt a little sour, so after the old man came to inform her that the medicinal materials had arrived in the afternoon, she took out half of the apples and took them to Zhang's house.
He An was playing in the yard, and the old man was sorting medicinal herbs. When he saw Yi Chichi coming over, he urged, "Come and help."
"I'll do it!"
Wen's mother volunteered, and the old man rolled his eyes, "You don't even know how to do it, come on, let Chi Chi come, you go play with An An."
The tone of someone dismissing a child.
Wen's mother was quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She could only give Yi Chichi a helpless look in the face of Yi Chichi's smiling gaze, and then took the apple to play with He An.
Yi Chichi sorted the medicinal materials with the old man, and then took the medicine twister to start processing them.
"The quality of Sanqi is OK."
Yi Chichi nodded, this quality is not just acceptable, but very good.
Unfortunately, in a few decades, Panax notoginseng of this quality can only be found in deep mountains and forests.
"Grandpa, are you bored taking care of the kids at home?"
The old man knew what she wanted to say as soon as he heard it, and he angrily said, "You really don't mind my age and want to tire me to death."
Then he changed the subject, "Tell me, what else do you want me to do for you after the powder is ready this time?"
"Seven White Ointments."
The old man was silent for a moment, "What's the difference between your Seven White Cream and other Seven White Creams?"
"Enhanced version!"
"Is the recipe still in hand?"
"exist."
The recipe for the Seven White Ointment was not given to Muda, she kept it for herself.
Those who practice traditional Chinese medicine all know how to prepare the Seven White Paste, but the proportions of medicinal ingredients in each Seven White Paste are different, and the effects are also different.
The origin, age, and proportion of medicinal materials can make products with the same formula produce different effects.
The old man uttered an "oh" and turned to stare at her face for a long moment. "You're so white you're practically glowing, why do you still need the Seven White Cream?"
"For Xinxin and my mom."
Before Wen's mother could say anything, He An, who had sharp ears, heard that her mother and grandmother both had it, and she didn't immediately respond with grievance, "Aunt, I want it too."
"Children can't use it."
Yi Chichi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You can still use it when you grow up."
Children's skin is in good condition, and indiscriminate use of functional skin care products is not good for the skin.
