Chapter 31: Restoring Cream
Lin Wu drove the ox cart with his three children, and they staggered all the way to the gate of Renhe Hall.
"Uncle shopkeeper, we are here again!" Lin Qian shouted as she entered the door.
Li Hong raised his head and smiled, then looked behind Lin Qian and asked, "Is Xiao Qian here? Is your master here?"
"No, we are here today to sell medicinal herbs and buy some to take back." Lin Qian said.
Li Hong said "oh" in disappointment, and then asked what medicine he brought today.
Lin Qian laughed and said, "Let's go inside and talk!"
After hearing what Lin Qian said, Li Hong raised his eyebrows. It seemed that today's things should be good.
"Walk."
The five people came into the house, and Lin Qian took out the purple Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium.
When Li Hong saw the purple Ganoderma, his eyes immediately lit up. He took a closer look and said, "It's really a good thing. I want this piece of purple Ganoderma. One hundred and twenty taels of silver is definitely worth it."
When they came, Meng Yi also gave an estimate of the price, which was about the same as Li Hong's, so Lin Qian immediately nodded.
Li Hong reluctantly put down the purple Ganoderma lucidum and examined the Dendrobium again, saying, "It's quite authentic Dendrobium officinale. According to the market price, it's two taels per catty. I have about two catties here, so I'll give it five taels of silver."
One hundred and twenty-five taels of silver, if split in half with Wei Jing, would result in sixty-two taels.
"Okay, thank you, boss. By the way, we are also getting some medicine. Here is the list." Lin Qian handed the list of medicinal materials written by Meng Yi to Li Hong.
Li Hong took it, took a look at it, and immediately asked the boy to grab it.
They were all caught, and each cost twenty-two taels of silver.
If they hadn't picked this purple Ganoderma lucidum, they didn't know how long it would take them to collect the more than twenty taels of silver.
After getting the medicinal herbs, Lin Wu took his three children to buy some snacks and cloth and cotton. The weather was about to get cold, so it was time to prepare cotton clothes early.
After buying a cart full of things, the four of them began to stagger back home.
On the way, Lin Qian took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to Wei Jing, but Wei Jing refused to take that much.
"We have already agreed that we will split the money we get from selling the herbs in half. The money for buying the herbs will be deducted from my own money. You just need to give me forty taels of silver." Wei Jing said.
Lin Qian also knew Wei Jing's temper, so she had to take back the ten taels of silver.
"Brother Wei Jing, now that you have earned so much money, aren't you planning to go back to school?" Lin Qian asked.
Wei Jing said, "Of course I have to go back, but not now. I will go back after the New Year. Then Shuo Shuo can go with me."
Lin Shuo, who was suddenly mentioned, immediately shook his head and refused.
At this time, Lin Wu turned around and said, "That's a good idea, Shuo Shuo. I will send you to school next year too. I don't expect you to be a good student, I just hope you can go there for a year and learn a few words."
If Lin Shuo could go to a good school, he would not have been forced to learn fighting in his previous life.
Lin Shuo originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that it was only for one year, he kept quiet and agreed to just run along.
"If Qianqian wants to go to school, that's fine. Do you want to go?" Wei Jing turned around and asked Lin Qian.
Lin Qian immediately shook her head: "No, I still have to learn medical skills. Besides, my master has been teaching me in this area."
In the Yongyao Dynasty, one of the founding emperor and the empress must have traveled through time.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, many advanced laws were promulgated, for example, women were allowed to attend private schools and read and write.
A man can only marry one wife. If he has no children after the age of 40, he can take a concubine.
For example, the imperial court encouraged the development of agriculture and commerce, so there are many advanced grain species here.
This is no longer the era where everything is inferior except reading.
After returning home, Lin Qian gave all the medicinal herbs she bought today to Meng Yi, and then the two began to refine the rejuvenation ointment.
The production process is quite simple, just boil it on the fire. Lin Qian also added cold spring water to it, hoping that the effect would be better.
It took almost a whole day to get better.
The finished product is a light brown paste with a faint medicinal fragrance, which is not unpleasant.
"Huh, finally done. I'm sweating all over. I'm going to take a shower and give the ointment to Wei Jing." Meng Yi said.
After stirring the medicine for a whole day, Meng Yi looked very weak and pale.
Lin Qian quickly volunteered, "There's hot water in the kitchen. Master, take a rest first. I'll go get some for you."
Meng Yi nodded.
Lin Qian ran to the next room, which was originally a small room, but was later used as a bathroom and toilet by Zhao Xiu.
Coming to the bathtub, Lin Qian filled it with hot spring water. Meng Yi's internal injuries were very serious, and now he ate, drank and used cold spring water. Lin Qian also used hot spring water to give him a bath from time to time.
I hope I can cure his internal injuries, but it seems that the effect is not obvious now.
"Master, the bath water is ready, you can go." Lin Qian said through the door, and went to give Wei Jing the rejuvenation cream.
Lin Qian knocked on the door and Wei Jing came out quickly.
"Here, the rejuvenation ointment is ready, try it right away." Lin Qian said.
Taking the Fu Yan ointment, Wei Jing's eyes lit up. He clenched the wooden box and said, "Thank you. Thank you, too, Uncle Meng for me."
Lin Qian patted his shoulder and said, "You're welcome. Take good care of your face. I really want to see your face."
It must look good.
Wei Jing's eyes brightened and he nodded vigorously.
In the evening, the family sat together for dinner, and Zhang Yufang suddenly said, "Tomorrow we'll have the roof beams put up on our house. I really want to thank Uncle Lin and the Wu brothers and sisters for taking care of us these days. Yufang would like to thank you all here."
Lin Changcan laughed and said, "Why thank me? Just treat us to a good meal tomorrow."
Zhang Yufang nodded and said, "Sure."
In ancient times, when putting up a beam, people would kill chickens to worship the gods, light firecrackers, and invite those who helped build the house to dinner.
After the beams were put up, Wei Jing and Zhang Yufang would have to return to their own homes in a few days.
Wei Jing glanced at Lin Qian and felt a little depressed.
Lin Qian noticed and quietly tugged at his clothes, saying, "Even if we live separately, we can still play together. Besides, we're not far away, so we can still see each other every day and go up the mountain together."
Only then did Wei Jing smile and nod.
Looking at Wei Jing's pair of beautiful eyes curved into a crescent shape, Lin Qian felt itchy and wanted to touch his head. Children are so easy to coax.
The next day, a group of children gathered in front of Wei Jing and his family's new home, waiting to be showered with candy and peanuts.
There were also many women from the village who came to help with cooking and preparing the banquet.
When the auspicious time came, Zhang Yufang invited the village carpenter, Uncle Mahjong, to come and put up the beams, and several strong men helped to put up the beams.
Then they started setting off firecrackers and throwing candies. A group of children were going crazy scrambling for the candies, and a few old people and women also joined in the scramble.
At noon, ten tables of food were set up in front of Wei Jing's house. Helpers, neighbors and friends all started eating in a lively atmosphere.
