Chapter 235 Thank you everyone
"Which woman doesn't have spring in her heart?"
"How do you know if this young lady is just being reserved? In fact, she's been eagerly waiting for you to come forward and say hello. Lantern Festival, Qiqiao Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, why do women love to join in the fun on every festival? Isn't the intention obvious?"
"Everyone thinks pretty girls are hard to chase, so they don't take the initiative to approach them. As a result, pretty girls are left unchallenged. How sad they must be! If you ask me, you should chase the prettiest girls!"
"Well said!" A sweet voice like a lark suddenly came from the bottom of the stage, interrupting Chen Ge's words.
Only then did Chen Ge notice that the bustling crowd below the stage had become quiet at some point. Thousands of people were eagerly listening to every word he said, eager to make a move.
Is this what it feels like to carry a burden? Father, Mother, Zelos, Grandma, none of them survived. I will avenge you, Ionia, forever high.
Ugh!
Chen Ge pushed out all the chaotic thoughts in his mind and looked at the fat girl below the stage who was shouting out her agreement. He didn't know what to say for a moment and smiled with a hint of embarrassment.
I was complaining furiously in my heart: This is no longer the prosperous Tang Dynasty. We in the Song Dynasty don’t like plump women. If you want to get married, I’m afraid you’ll have to rely on your wealth... And, with a body of 200 pounds, how did you manage to maintain an A cup on your chest? What a sin...
Chen Ge's words about love between men and women were like opening Pandora's box. Some people had already started to apply what they learned and approached the young ladies they had taken a fancy to.
Wang Rong's eyes sparkled and he smiled brilliantly, as if he had figured something out. Chen Ge said that pursuing a girl is nothing more than being bold, careful, and thick-skinned. It made sense, so let's get started.
"Young Master, what you said makes sense. If I had heard this ten years ago, I would never have watched my Xiao Cui marry the idiot son of Landlord Wang..."
"Alas!" Someone else sighed, feeling sympathy for the same pain.
…
"Young Master, how do you explain your meticulousness and thick skin?"
Chen Ge stood up and bowed to the audience, kindly reminding them, "Being bold doesn't mean being a hooligan. If you keep pestering me and get beaten to death, I won't be responsible."
"To know what happens next? Stay tuned for the next episode!" Chen Ge used a storyteller's refrain and continued, "Everyone, don't forget our main event today is the Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder. I'm about to start making it, and if you see it, you'll be in luck."
"This is beast gold charcoal, supplied by the emperor. It has a pine scent. The inferior silver flake charcoal will also work, but the effect won't be as good." Chen Ge pointed at the charcoal fire in the big iron pot and spoke nonsense seriously.
If you don't say it in a more high-end way, how can you have the nerve to sell it at a high price later?
"This is the shell of a pearl oyster. As we all know, pearls can make your face look moisturized and beautiful. The shell that gave birth to pearls may not be very attractive, but it is more tolerant and gentle."
This is still nonsense. Whether it's pearls or oyster shells, the main component is calcium carbonate, which can't whiten the skin, but can only temporarily help brighten the skin. Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even in later generations, many people are unaware of the situation and buy pearl powder as soon as they hear about it.
Chen Ge placed the cleaned clam shells on the charcoal fire and roasted them over high heat for a quarter of an hour.
Chen Ge held up the loofah in his hand and said loudly, "While we have some time, let me introduce you to the treasure in my hand."
"Pfft!" Someone in the audience laughed: "Isn't this just a loofah? When it matures, if you don't pick it, it slowly ages like this. It can produce some seeds, but it can't do anything else. How can it be a treasure?"
"Rub, rub! On this smooth iron pot..." It was a little hot. Chen Ge said, "This is the best tool for ordinary people to clean pots and pans at home. It's light and durable. Of course, it can also be used for other things. A great poet once wrote: 'A loofah is used to clean an inkstone, and it removes all remaining stains without damaging the inkstone.'"
"Also, this loofah is a medicinal herb with a sweet taste and a neutral nature. It enters the stomach, lung, and liver meridians. Drinking it in water soaked with loofah can cool the blood, detoxify, promote diuresis, and remove dampness. It can treat lung heat, cough with phlegm, delirium caused by fever, heart heat, irritability, and convulsions in the hands and feet."
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and everyone was still reluctant to leave. Even in the Song Dynasty, with its developed economy and prosperous culture, it was not easy to acquire knowledge. These were all secret recipes.
"Everyone, from today onwards, [Practice Hall] will put up a sign in front of the door with some basic knowledge about medicine and health. Learning it can effectively prevent some illnesses. Welcome to support us!"
Chen Ge took the blackened clam shell out of the fire, scraped off the black ash on the surface with a knife, and showed it to the audience: "How about it? The color inside is quite white, right?"
After roasting, the clam shells have become crispy and breakable at the touch. They are placed in a corundum mortar and crushed vigorously, then filtered and ground again until they become white and fine powder.
At this point, the first raw material of the Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder is ready.
"Thousands of hammers and chisels have carved out the mountains, and fierce fires have burned as if it were nothing. I am not afraid of being crushed to pieces, as long as I can leave my innocence in the world."
The poem was on the tip of his tongue and almost came out, but Chen Ge held it back with great difficulty because he suddenly remembered that the gypsum and lime that were going to be calcined were not the same thing. Gypsum could be applied to the face without any worries, but lime could cause disfigurement if not handled with care.
The calcined gypsum, like weathered rock, breaks into stripes with a light touch, and then is pounded into powder with a mortar. It feels delicate and smooth to the touch and looks snow-white and shiny.
"The next point is the key!" Chen Ge held up the pre-processed motherwort and said seriously, "It must be dug up with the roots in May when the small white flowers are blooming to be effective."
