Chapter 72 Do You Believe Me?
Sang Ning didn't stop until the water level rose to the middle of the tank.
They laid several layers of pebbles at the bottom and threw in "medical stone" that can make the water sweet.
In this way, the soil will quickly settle into the cracks of the rocks and the water will become clear. As long as it is not stirred hard, it will never become turbid.
Sang Ning planned to secretly put a piece of oilcloth under the stones to prevent leakage tomorrow, and then add half a tank of water every day, so that in addition to cooking and eating, there would be enough for the two of them to take a bath.
Finally, Sang Ning smashed the bottom of the water tank and placed it directly in the spring pit. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary water tank half buried underground.
This way it won't attract attention.
Just complete this semi-enclosed kitchen and everything will be fine!
"Okay, I'll go out and buy some soap nuts, and everyone can wash their hair."
In this era, soap nuts were the most common and cheapest material for washing hair and taking baths. Ordinary people could afford them. I guess this was the only material available in Liangzhou.
Rich families use tea seed powder, which is made by squeezing the tea oil from the seeds of the tea tree and then grinding the remaining fruit residue. It has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, but it has a strong degreasing effect and can easily dry out hair.
Therefore, wealthy people will use Polygonum multiflorum and ginger water for hair care after washing their hair.
The women in the marquis's mansion probably lived such a good life in the past.
But none of these are as good as soap.
She went out to see where there was a pig slaughterhouse so that she could make some pig pancreas soap.
"Then I'll boil some water first!" Xie Yurou scooped water happily.
"I'll go get some firewood." Huo Jingya took the rope from the wall and left.
I still have to thank this family for leaving behind a lot of usable things.
Li Yuzhi smiled embarrassedly: "I'll go to my second uncle first."
So, everyone divided the work among themselves.
As soon as Sang Ning went out, he entered the space and caught a few big black fish and cooked them.
She first left two strips of meat for Huo Changan, and then she removed the bones and chopped the rest into meat paste, added two large eggs, and stirred with some cornmeal, and then kneaded it into small meatballs.
Put them in water and boil them, then take them out after they are formed. I plan to make meatball soup in the evening.
Going to the small vegetable garden, I saw that the wild vegetables thrown in were so fresh and juicy that they looked like cultivated vegetables.
There are also several large pumpkins.
At that time, an old lady from Lujia Village gave me a dried pumpkin. After eating it, she threw the seeds into the space. Now the pumpkin has grown as big as a ball and it can’t be finished in one meal!
After happily looking through the property in the space, Sang Ning decided on the food for tonight and left the space.
Liangzhou is so poor.
It was better a few years ago, when merchants from other places also came to do business and the market was able to flow.
In the past two years, there has been chaos and war, and bandits are rampant, so few people dare to go here.
Many things were out of stock, silver and money depreciated, and people had to produce and sell their own goods, and barter became the norm.
Sang Ning exchanged a handful of fresh green wild vegetables for a pile of soapberries.
Traded a large pumpkin for a bag of shriveled little potatoes.
I exchanged three liters of corn for pig pancreas and a piece of pork belly.
I spent some more money to buy alkali powder and went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal herbs, including Stemona japonica.
Washing your hair with water boiled with Stemona root can kill insect eggs and lice.
Silver and money are really worthless.
The few taels of silver she had in her hand were gone just like that.
But it doesn’t matter. She will make food and sell it on the street next time. She can sell it at a lower price so that the people can put their money into more money.
Sang Ning was stuffed full and tried to avoid people as he walked home.
When passing by a group of houses, I saw a strange woman.
She sat on the ground, her face haggard and delicate. Her facial features were not particularly beautiful, but she had the temperament of an ancient beauty that made people feel pity for her.
His eyes are melancholy and full of sadness.
This kind of woman is the most attractive to men.
Not only attracts men, but also attracts women.
Anyway, Sang Ning really likes this look.
But what does she want to do?
He held a sharp stone and stared at it for a long time.
Do you want to commit suicide?
A little girl of five or six years old appeared from the corner barefoot.
Nono shouted: "Mom~"
The stone in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and her numb eyes became bright.
"Feng'er..."
"Mom." The little girl rushed over and hugged the woman's neck, her face full of fear.
"Mom, I saw it. Dad kicked you last night. Why did he kick you? You scratched him and he still kicked you. Dad is bad and annoying! Mom, don't cry."
"No, your father didn't mean it. He was just in so much pain. Yes, he was in so much pain."
It hurts! It's just bullying women, and the mother has to cover it up in front of her children.
Hey, woman.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
I’m hungry. What should I do?
Now I don’t even dare to drink more water.
The woman tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, causing the corners of her mouth to tremble uncontrollably.
Although there was no sound, Sang Ning seemed to hear heart-wrenching crying.
Why.
"Come here, little girl. Auntie has some food here." Sang Ning called out.
She was used to talking to the children at home, but in fact she was only eighteen, so it would be more accurate to say she was the older sister.
Before the woman could react, the little girl ran over.
"Feng'er! Come back!" the woman shouted warily.
However, Sang Ning had already grabbed a handful of fish balls and stuffed them into the little girl's hands.
Then he left without saying anything more.
"Mom, it's delicious! It's delicious, please eat it quickly!"
"Feng'er, leave a few for your grandparents..."
Sang Ning vaguely heard the woman say this.
She ignored it and quickly went home.
"Wow! So many potatoes, such big pumpkins! Sister-in-law, why did you buy so many? How can we afford so much money?"
Huo Jingya took the bag of potatoes, she admired it so much!
She almost spent all her private money on buying some incense, so how could her fourth sister-in-law bring back so many things!
"Of course I have a way. I'll take you to make money together someday."
"good!"
"Isn't my sister-in-law back yet?"
"No!"
Let’s ignore her for now and lock the door.
The family members took turns washing their hair in the wooden basin.
After everyone finished washing, Sang Ning brought water to Huo Changan to wash and gave him some "Tai Sui meat" to eat.
"It's still there? I thought it was dead."
Sanning: "..."
I was too tired yesterday and forgot to cook for him.
"Well, actually, it really doesn't look very energetic anymore. It might really be dying. I think we've given it quite a bit, and the benefits are all in the future. Even if we stop eating, it will be fine."
"What do you think?"
The boy smiled slightly.
"You're right."
He felt that what was more effective was not the fish, but... the medicinal soups she made herself.
Every time I finish drinking the medicine, I feel heat and numbness in my waist for a while.
Sang Ning smiled and praised himself for his intelligence.
Yo hey! She doesn't have to cook fish anymore!
If you eat it for two more days, Tai Sui will die!
Anyway, it was all thanks to the spiritual spring water and the muscle-nourishing and blood-activating medicine.
She asked Huo Changan to lie on the edge of the bed.
"Hey? What happened to your face?"
When he lay down, his hair fell to the sides, revealing his entire face, which scared Sang Ning.
The wounds on his face had clearly healed, so why were they suddenly bloody again?
"For some reason, it felt a little itchy, so I scratched it gently."
Is this a gentle grab?
You're just trying to get your skin peeled off!
It’s really worrying!
Sang Ning first wiped him with a cloth dipped in water and looked at the situation.
"Huo Changan, do you believe me?"
"believe."
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he now believed that she was a goddess who had descended to earth.
There was a severe drought for three years, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
She could find water everywhere.
Even the place where she settled, which others considered to be an unlucky and evil place, became a Feng Shui treasure land.
Are they really here to relieve the suffering of the people?
He felt a pain on his face and let out a muffled groan unexpectedly.
"Don't move, it's quick."
A refreshing fragrance filled the air, right above his head.
Sang Ning turned his face and stared at the scar intently.
Then, a cold sharp blade swept across.
pain!
This is different from what he thought. Why is he treated differently from Jintang?
