Chapter 22: Using Spiritual Spring Water to Treat Family Members
After coming out of the space, Jiang Ruoxi saw that the time was 9:30 in the evening. She went to the vegetable garden, studied medicine and practiced martial arts in there, so it was impossible that only half an hour had passed. In other words, the flow rate in the space was slower than outside. In this way, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when studying and practicing martial arts in the space in the future. It was simply a cheating tool!
After cleaning up, Jiang Ruoxi went to bed to rest. She had to get up early in the morning and secretly put the spiritual spring water in after cooking for her family.
In the morning, Jiang Ruoxi's biological clock woke her up on time. After washing up, Jiang Ruoxi did morning exercises in the yard, practicing physical training techniques. After the morning exercises, Jiang Ruoxi washed off the sweat on her body and went to the kitchen refreshed to prepare breakfast for her family.
Jiang Ruoxi added a little spiritual spring water when making the porridge. After the porridge was ready, she also fried a few side dishes with the spiritual spring water. Just as it was done, Jiang Chengyue and his two sons came back from morning exercise. As soon as they entered the yard, they smelled a sweet aroma. They hurriedly washed their hands and went into the kitchen to help serve the meal. As soon as they entered the kitchen, they saw that the meal was made by Jiang Ruoxi, so they quickly brought the meal to the table. Jiang's father went to the room and called Jiang's mother to come out for dinner. The family sat together to eat breakfast.
Father and Mother Jiang drank the porridge with spiritual spring water and felt that today's porridge was better than usual. They felt refreshed after drinking it.
"Xixi, how do you make this porridge? Why is it different from ours? Not only does it have an unusual rice aroma, but it also has a sweet aftertaste in the mouth. Do you have any secret?" Jiang Chengyue praised.
"Dad, there is no secret to this porridge. I just added mashed yam to the porridge. Yam strengthens the spleen and stomach, has a soft and sticky texture, and adds thickness and natural sweetness to the porridge. I also added crushed coix seed, which is diuretic and has a unique fragrance, giving the porridge a light sweetness and refreshing taste. I also added crushed lotus seeds, which nourish the heart and soothe the nerves. They have a slightly bitter taste but can neutralize the sweetness, making the taste more layered."
"It turns out there's a reason why this porridge tastes so good. My Xixi made it with all her heart and added so much. Xixi, what time did you get up?" Wen Shuyao said with concern.
"Mom, I get up at five o'clock normally. I do morning exercises in the yard for more than half an hour. Before morning exercises, I cook porridge in a clay pot over low heat. When I finish morning exercises, the porridge is almost done. I make a few delicious side dishes, and breakfast is ready, right?"
"Hey, Xixi, why do you get up so early? Actually, you don't have to get up so early, just sleep a little longer!" Jiang Chengyue was heartbroken when he heard his daughter got up so early.
"Dad, I'm used to it. I didn't have very good health before, and Jiang Daguo asked me to get up early to wash and cook for them. I could only get up and exercise first, then wash and cook. This was taught by my neighbor grandfather when I was a child. That grandfather's family is an ancestral Chinese medicine practitioner, and he is very good at health preservation. He felt sorry for me and taught me some body-building techniques to improve my physique. If it weren't for this set of body-building techniques, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until you found me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chengyue said, "My daughter has suffered. Where is the neighbor grandfather who taught you the art of physical training?"
"That grandfather passed away three years ago. Before he passed away, he passed on his ancestral medical skills to me. I hope I will have the opportunity to carry forward his medical skills in the future!" Jiang Ruoxi finally found a reasonable reason for the medical books and body refining techniques in the space, and also sent a signal to the Jiang family that I have some knowledge of medicine.
"That's such a pity. If you have the chance, Xixi, don't forget your promise to the old man!" Wen Shuyao said with a hint of regret.
"Doesn't that old man have any other relatives? Why did he give you the medical book?" Jiang Chengyue asked a little suspiciously.
"Yes, but none of his descendants lived long. He was the longest-lived one. When the old grandfather passed away, he was 67 years old. There has been no one left in his family since he passed away. So, the old grandfather didn't want to take these medical books to his coffin, so he left the books and some secret recipes to me, so that I can have the opportunity to carry forward their influence in the future!"
"Xixi, then you should keep the medical book well. Don't forget your promise to grandfather when you have the chance in the future!" Jiang Chengyue instructed.
"Yes, Dad. You and Mom should eat quickly. Don't be late for work. I'll go find Lu Tingxiao after dinner!"
"Okay, okay, little housekeeper, you must be careful when you go to find that kid, or take your brother with you?" Jiang Chengyue said worriedly.
"No, Brother Lu and I are dating and we're going on a date later. Why do I need to bring two light bulbs? And they're so high wattage!" Jiang Ruoxi said with disdain.
"Okay, okay, I won't bring two big light bulbs, but be careful!" Jiang Chengyue said to Jiang Ruoxi lovingly. He turned around and saw his two sons stuffing their food into their mouths. He said angrily, "Look at you two. You don't even find a partner. Even your sister hates you!"
At this moment, the two brothers Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi looked like frightened groundhogs. The scene was full of humor!
After dinner, Jiang's father and mother went out to work, and Jiang Ruoxi went out to look for Lu Tingxiao. She wanted Lu Tingxiao to help her find some suitable herbal seeds that she could buy and plant in the space.
The cold wind was blowing across the earth, and pedestrians on the street were wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes and walking in a hurry. Jiang Ruoxi shrank her neck and walked quickly towards the telephone booth not far away. After entering the phone booth, she quickly dialed Lu Tingxiao's number.
"Hello?" Lu Tingxiao's deep and charming voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Lu, I'm Ruoxi." There was a hint of joy in Jiang Ruoxi's tone.
"Well, Ruoxi, what's wrong?" Lu Tingxiao asked gently.
"Brother Lu, do you have time today?" Jiang Ruoxi said.
"Yes, as long as you want to go out, you have to make time even if you don't have time!" Lu Tingxiao joked.
"Brother Lu, your mouth must have eaten honey this morning. You are so good at talking!"
"Hasn't your brother Lu always been good at talking?"
"So where are we going to meet?"
"Then let's meet at the entrance of the department store at 8 o'clock!" Lu Tingxiao said after thinking for a while.
"Okay then, Brother Lu, we'll see you there!"
"Okay, Ruoxi, let's meet at the entrance of the department store at 8 o'clock. If you come early, go inside the department store and wait for me. Don't stand outside in the cold. I can't bear to let you suffer from the cold." Lu Tingxiao instructed considerately.
"I know. Then come quickly too!" Jiang Ruoxi responded sweetly.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ruoxi walked out of the phone booth, looked up at the sky, her heart full of anticipation. Although the weather was cold, her heart instantly became warm when she thought that she would see her beloved soon.
Here, Lu Tingxiao hung up the phone, quickly packed up and went out, saying that he wanted Jiang Ruoxi to wait at the entrance of the department store, but how could a grown man like him let his young wife wait? Of course he has to wait for his young wife!
