Grandma Jiang's strong voice came from inside the house, "You greedy girl, yesterday you had rice, pork belly, and pork kidneys. How can you eat well every day? What will you do for the next meal?"
It's good to eat both delicious and undeserving foods in rotation.
Jiang Wanwan ignored her and said decisively, "Grandma, I feel a bit weak again. If you don't cook millet porridge and rice for me these next few days, I'm afraid I'll really have to go to the pharmacy to buy ginseng."
Grandma Jiang choked, instinctively clutching her purse. Realizing her greedy daughter was still outside and she couldn't steal the coins from her pocket, she breathed a sigh of relief and removed her hand from the purse.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard that brat's voice again from outside the door.
"Grandma. Ouch, I'm feeling dizzy, I can barely stand."
"You brat, I really owe you something!" Old Mrs. Jiang, in a fit of despair, suddenly rolled off the bed and shuffled towards the door in her cloth shoes.
She flung open the door and glared at Jiang Wanwan. "You greedy girl, eat up, eat up. Once you've eaten, you won't have to think about it all the time."
Grandma Jiang returned to the house, took out a key from her bosom, and opened the cabinet that locked the grain.
Unaffected by Grandma Jiang's influence, Jiang Wanwan readily measured out four jin of millet with a rice container and said to Grandma Jiang, "Grandma, don't worry. After eating rice and millet porridge for a few days, my body will become stronger."
Grandma Jiang waved her hand, "Stop being so glib, hurry up and cook some millet porridge."
She figured it out; she might as well boil it or not, since she'd get some too. After finishing the rice, the greedy girl stopped thinking about it.
Jiang Wanwan took the millet back to the kitchen and asked Zhu to cook millet porridge.
She, on the other hand, scooped water from the water vat under the eaves to wash herself.
After washing up, the millet porridge wasn't ready yet, so Jiang Wanwan turned around and went back into the house.
She plans to try making mosquito coils today and see how well they work.
The book lists several types of traditional mosquito coils, some made from mugwort, mint, elm powder, and charcoal, others from mugwort, elm powder, rosin powder, and charcoal, and still others from mugwort, dried tangerine peel powder, realgar powder, elm powder, and charcoal.
Jiang Wanwan decided to make one pound of each type to compare the effects.
She rummaged through her basket and found ten pounds of dried mint, ten pounds of dried mugwort, eleven pounds of rosin powder, and eleven pounds of elm powder. Some of the materials weren't even all bought yet; buying some at the time was just a smokescreen.
Jiang Wanwan opened the online store and bought one pound of dried tangerine peel powder, three pounds of charcoal, and one pound of realgar powder.
Tangerine peel powder cost six yuan per jin, charcoal cost two yuan and fifty cents per jin, and realgar powder cost two yuan per jin. In total, I spent ten yuan and fifty cents.
All the materials needed to make mosquito coils have been prepared.
Knowing that cooking millet porridge would take some time, Jiang Wanwan decided to grind the ingredients first while she had the time.
So she picked up her basket and went out of the house.
When Jiang Hexun and the other two saw that Jiang Wanwan was carrying something, they quickly ran over, snatched the basket from her, and carried it in their own hands.
“Sister, we can do these chores, there’s no need for you to do them yourself!” Jiang Jiang said.
“You’re up just in time. Do we have any tools like a mortar and pestle at home that can grind things into powder?” Jiang Wanwan asked.
"Yes! We seem to have two stone mortars at home. But we haven't used them for a long time, so I don't know where the milk went," Jiang He replied.
Jiang Xun, being quick-witted, said, "I'll go ask Grandma where the mortar and pestle went."
He left behind a sentence and ran away in a flash.
This is a great opportunity to curry favor with my sister, I can't miss it!
