Chapter 93: I almost cried because my name has so many strokes.
"Mother, you can't be so unreasonable. I didn't say anything wrong. You can see for yourselves." Seeing his mother's temper flare up, probably influenced by Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenjin, who usually dared not to resist, also began to argue with Yang Nannan.
He even showed his own name to Yang Nannan.
Yang Nannan looked at Lin Wenjin's name on the white paper and instantly lost her temper.
Pointing outside, he said, "This isn't my fault. Blame your father. He wore out several books trying to find a good name for you."
When Yang Nannan saw Lin Wenjin crying because her name had many strokes, she felt a little guilty.
The two grown men, Lin Zhousheng and Lin Dayou, who were chatting in the courtyard, were also drawn in by the commotion inside the main room.
When he heard his wife shift the blame onto him, he awkwardly touched his nose.
When Lin Wenjin was first born, he only thought about giving his children a nice-sounding name that wasn't too rustic, but now he's stumped his children.
"Being too talented isn't good either, hehe." Lin Dayou found the scene of Lin Wenjin crying while still trying to complete Doctor Yang's task quite amusing.
Lin Wenqian's name was also difficult to write, but he knew that this opportunity was secured for them by Lin Luoxi, so they couldn't let it go to waste. He clumsily picked up the brush and slowly wrote his name stroke by stroke.
"Master, I have finished learning." Although the conversation between Lin Wenjin and Lin Luoting was quite funny, Lin Luoxi still handed the characters she had written to Doctor Yang for inspection.
"Oh, so fast?" Doctor Yang was secretly laughing at the tragic situation of Lin Wenjin and Lin Luoting when he heard Lin Luoxi's words and was a little shocked.
He frowned as he looked at the somewhat childish handwriting on the white paper, which Lin Luoxi handed him.
"Master, how is it?" Lin Luoxi asked anxiously when she saw Doctor Yang frowning.
She put in a lot of effort to make her calligraphy look more childlike.
In modern times, her calligraphy is considered the best, comparable to those masters.
Nowadays, in order to avoid the immense pressure from her brothers and sisters-in-law, she has spent a lot of time deliberately writing her handwriting poorly and with weak strokes.
"You wrote it correctly, but you need to practice your handwriting more. Judging people by their handwriting is like judging a person. If your handwriting is like this, they will look down on you." Doctor Yang felt that the handwriting seemed to be deliberately written like this.
But Dr. Yang rejected this idea. Lin Luoxi used to be a silly girl; she couldn't even eat properly, let alone write.
"Okay, Master, I understand." Lin Luoxi was just like a model student. She was very polite to whatever Doctor Yang said, which made Doctor Yang very satisfied.
Of the eight children present, only Lin Luoxi had finished writing her name; the others were still practicing.
Dr. Yang was very pleased with Lin Luoxi's intelligence and assigned her the next task.
Seeing how quickly Lin Luoxi mastered it, the others felt a surge of competitive spirit and began to challenge their own names.
Lin Wenjin and Lin Luoting stopped crying, wiped away their tears, and focused intently on practicing writing their names.
Lin Zhousheng and Yang Nannan were very satisfied to see their child being influenced by the learning atmosphere in the Lin family.
There was also endless chores to do at home, so after saying goodbye to Lin Dayou and his wife, I went back to my own home to work.
Lin Luoxi knows all the characters in the Analects, and she can learn the characters taught by Doctor Yang in no time.
After handing in her assignments, she didn't ask Dr. Yang to rearrange them. Instead, she went to the garden in the yard and started busying herself.
Lin Wenqian and the others had just learned their own names when they saw Lin Luoxi finish Dr. Yang's lessons again, and they all became dejected.
Lin Luoxi didn't care about the breakdown of her companions in the main room. Time was money, and she wanted to make money as soon as possible so she could enjoy life.
Looking at the flowers in front of her, Lin Luoxi's eyes flashed with many ways to make money from flowers.
The original idea was to use these wildflowers to make perfume, but the distillation equipment of that era was inadequate, so the idea had to be abandoned.
Now, as Dr. Yang's apprentice, she can try to use these flowers to create necessities for women.
My gaze fell upon the motherwort in front of me. I had said I would make motherwort paste, and I had even prepared the small bottles, but I hadn't had time to do it because of too many things.
Taking advantage of the time she had, Lin Luoxi decided to make some motherwort paste first.
Harvest these motherwort plants with a sickle, take them to the well to process them, and cut them.
While we're at it, let's also take out the big iron pot from the kitchen and clean off the grease, because you can't get any oil or water on it when making motherwort paste.
Before long, the fire was lit again in the kitchen.
"Luo Xi, what are you doing?" Doctor Yang, who was bored while watching the children studying diligently in the main room, saw Lin Luo Xi busy in the kitchen.
Thinking Lin Luoxi was making something delicious, they quickly came over to check.
"Oh, I'm going to make motherwort paste." Lin Luoxi didn't hide anything and directly told Doctor Yang about the benefits of motherwort paste.
"Yes, this method is indeed excellent." Doctor Yang was constantly marveling at Lin Luoxi's talent, and even more so at the fact that Lin Luoxi was not a descendant of the Yang family.
Seeing Doctor Yang deep in thought, Lin Luoxi had a plan flash through her mind.
"Master, how about we cooperate?" Lin Luoxi said boldly.
"Oh, how do you want to cooperate?" Dr. Yang was quite curious about what Lin Luoxi wanted to do.
"Master, the villagers from all around here like to come to you for treatment, including many women. And coincidentally, I'm an expert in treating women's menstrual flow with Motherwort Paste..."
The more Lin Luoxi spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and the more she felt that this method was feasible.
"Yes, your method is indeed good, and it saves time on decocting the medicine." Doctor Yang listened carefully to Lin Luoxi's plan and expressed his agreement.
"Right, Master? As long as we work together, all the money in the world will flow into our pockets." Lin Luoxi was confident of this.
"Hehe, you kid, you're always talking big. You think you can make money just by making your own motherwort paste? That's wishful thinking."
"Motherwort paste is so simple that anyone with medical knowledge can make it."
"Once your motherwort ointment becomes a hit, there will definitely be a large number of counterfeiters. Even so, it's difficult for you to make money from motherwort ointment."
It wasn't that Doctor Yang was discouraging Lin Luoxi, but rather that this thing was simple to make, and anyone with eyes could figure it out at a glance.
"Oh, that's not necessarily true." Lin Luoxi has a trump card; even if others can imitate her, they can't surpass her.
She wouldn't dare to make such boastful claims if she didn't have some tricks up her sleeve.
“Master, if you don’t believe me, why don’t we each brew a pot of motherwort and see if the taste is the same?”
