Fang Zhai more than ten acres [system]

Inviting Nie Xinzhi to eat pagoda candies is just a joke.

Even though the name contains the word "sugar", the main ingredient is granulated sugar. After all, pagoda sugar is not sugar, but medicine.

It is a medicine that is not a disease and should not be taken indiscriminately.

Yu Rong is well aware of the internal and external conditions of Nie Xinzhi's body. His elder brother is very healthy and does not need to be "dewormed".

After the joke is over, what should be done must be done.

The sun-dried flower buds of Artemisia ascariae sent by Qin An are not too much, four to five ounces a catty; if they are not, there are so many harvests at the beginning of the successful cultivation, but it is really a lot.

Talking about making pagoda candy, Yu Rong really started the preparations.

Of course, he didn't intend to use up the Artemisia ascaris, which was only about half a catty in weight, at one time.

From the practical point of view, Artemisia ascaris is a kind of medicine that has special effect on ascariasis. People who suffer from ascariasis take mirabilite and drink the filtered Artemisia ascariasis solution to have a strong deworming effect.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to modern times. No matter how advanced the sugar-making process was, granulated sugar was still a relatively luxurious consumption for the general public. On the premise that the production of Artemisia ascaris had not increased, it was actually not necessary to make medicine into sugar.

Yu Rong prepared pagoda candy purely out of personal interest, just out of research. After all, pagoda candy is also the childhood feelings of generations of Chinese people!

Artemisia ascaris is the king's medicine, so take about half a catty of dried flower powder, soak it in white wine, and soak it overnight.

The medicinal components are then extracted by a reflux extraction method, and the obtained filtrate is evaporated to remove alcohol by a water separation method.

To prepare pagoda sugar, in addition to granulated sugar, in order to reconcile the taste and medicinal properties, ingredients are essential.

So orange peel and licorice were taken to make spices.

Orange peel is warm in nature and has a delicate smell. Besides being used as a spice, it also has the functions of dispelling bad breath in the intestines and stomach, and widening the diaphragm.

Needless to say, licorice is flat in nature and sweet in taste. It can also cure qi deficiency and fatigue when relieving pain. The key function is in harmony. It is an indispensable blind medicine in many prescriptions.

In addition to the spices, add a little moxa, which has the effect of killing insects and antibacterial.

Then enter the sugar process.

Put the sugar into an appropriate amount of water, melt it and put it into a pot to boil. After the filtrate, take a little alum, mix it with the Artemisia ascariasis liquid, and then boil it into sugar base.

Stir in a little homemade gelatin for a stronger bond.

When the sugar base is initially formed, add spices and moxa slices, stir well, and then place it on a sugar plate to cool.

Then pound the mortar to make air holes to form a spiral flower shape.

After cutting into pieces, it becomes pagoda sugar.

Because this is Yu Rong's first time preparing pagoda candy, he is not skilled in the craft.

The homemade pagoda candy is a bit fatter than the pagoda candy on the modern market.

Fortunately, the color is harmonious, very light orange with a hint of green, it looks quite pleasing to the eye.

It smelled faintly fragrant, and Yu Rong couldn't help but picked up a pagoda candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chew carefully.

The sweetness is not too greasy, with a little orange flavor and the bitter aroma of moxa slices, the taste is very different...it's delicious.

It was hard not to swallow the chewed candy into his stomach.

Three-drug.

Artemisia ascaris, the monarch drug used to make pagoda candy, is already poisonous... Of course, even if there are no roundworms, eating one or two pills will not cause any adverse reactions immediately.

However, it is better to be cautious.

It is absolutely not advisable to like to eat pagoda candies like many children in modern times.

After the pagoda sugar is made, it should be properly placed in a dry place and stored for one or two years without affecting the medicinal properties.It is not only a special drug for fighting roundworms, but also has a very good effect of repelling pinworms.

There is just one thing that may be unbearable to some people.

Sandao Nian, an ingredient contained in Artemisia ascaris, has a strong excitatory effect on roundworms, which in turn causes them to contract spasmodically and cannot continue to adhere to the intestinal tract.Therefore, people suffering from ascariasis, after eating pagoda sugar, the excreted worms are all living bodies...

Feeling a little sick.

Disgusting or not, Yu Rong has no pressure, anyway, he and his brother don't need to worry about this issue.

The pagoda candy made weighed almost two catties and was divided into two cans, one of which was given to Kuang Wanchun Tang according to the custom.

"I'll give this can to my elder brother, maybe your younger brothers will need it." Yu Rong explained with a smile.

The purpose of pagoda candy is to allow children to take medicine voluntarily. Nie Xinzhi has so many younger brothers. It is said that several of them are only a few years old. It is the end of the year. You have to say one or two!

Those royal children have never seen any rare and good things. As a country doctor, he doesn't have many rare things, so he can only use his strengths, find a new way, and get some new things...is it a "meeting gift"?

Nie Xinzhi silently put away the medicine jar containing pagoda sugar, without saying anything about it.

The young doctor in a good mood, with a fading smile on his face, puzzled eyes, looked at the man's demeanor thoughtfully.

Nie Xinzhi asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Rongfu curled his mouth again, and asked back: "I should ask you, why don't you look very interested?"

Not only was he not very interested, but for him who was very familiar with every reaction of a man, the other party almost said "I'm very upset".

Of course, according to this man's behavior, it is absolutely impossible for him to say such a thing.

Nie Xinzhi said lightly, "Not at all."

Hearing this, Yu Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at the man's eyes for a while, and then asked: "Brother, why don't you hesitate?"

Nie Xinzhi didn't deny it anymore, and remained silent.

The curvature of the corner of the mouth became more and more obvious, and Yu Rong had an inscrutable expression on his face: "Let me speculate..."

Nie Xinzhi quietly watched the smiling face in front of him.

"But because, I said I would treat my brother to eat pagoda candies, but I didn't believe what I said?"

Not only did he break his promise, but he also wanted to give the pagoda candy he made by himself to others.

Yu Rong asked: "Is it right?"

Nie Xinzhi refused to comment, and only said in a low voice: "I will not get angry with Rong'er."

Yu Rong rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked: "I have a riddle, why don't I ask my brother to guess it... Say, what eye is narrower or smaller than the eye of a needle?"

Nie Xinzhi responded cooperatively: "I don't know."

Yu Rong smiled, overjoyed: "Be careful."

After hearing this, Nie Xinzhi looked calm.

While laughing, someone deliberately asked, "What do you think, brother?"

Nie Xinzhi replied calmly, "It's all just like what Rong'er said."

Yu Rong: "..."

This guy, being so serious is really not funny, but he looks very boring.

It doesn't matter if you're bored, enough "teasing" is enough, Yu Rong then corrected his attitude: "This pagoda candy is an insect repellent, so it's not easy to eat it indiscriminately." After a pause, his tone was gentle, "My brother and I are already one, why bother about it?" Those little details?"

What's more, it's a very small thing that can't even talk about the details?

To be honest, Yu Rong seriously felt that his brother...is sick.

However, forget it.

Who made him recognize such a person?

So he stopped rambling, Yu Rong moved closer to his man, and kissed him proactively.

Illness is not terrible, as long as there is a cure.

Prescribe the right medicine to the case, and the medicine will cure the disease.

·

After several days of sunny days, the thin layer of snow on the branches and roofs melted silently.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Yu Rong packed up his luggage and finally embarked on the journey home with his elder brother.

After all, no matter how good Yanhai is, it is not a home.

Two years have passed, Yu Rong has a complete sense of belonging to the Qinglian Courtyard, and he really misses him after not returning for many days.

A carriage for two people.

It's not as "rushing" as it was when it came here, it was swaying, and the chariots and horses walked at a leisurely pace.

Although it is winter, the scenery along the way has its own style, so I went for a walk while on the road.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and we walked and played for seven or eight days, and the weather was sunny and clear.

But luck will run out sooner or later.

It was a sunny day, just right for the journey, but the carriage broke down.

It has been more than half a day since they left the city, and it would be a bit troublesome to turn back, but fortunately they were not in a hurry.

In fact, it is not a problem without a carriage. The big things were transported back by Ni Yiwei earlier, but now they are just small things that don't take up space.

It's just that it's cold and windy, and there's no shelter, so it's still cold after all.

Unfortunately, Yu Rong still hadn't learned how to ride a horse, and the distance was too far, so it wasn't suitable to ride together.

"Little Doctor Yu—"

Just as Yu Rong packed up the bits and pieces in the carriage, he heard this somewhat familiar, sharp voice.

I didn't remember who it was for a while, so I turned around and followed the sound.

The old horse walked slowly, dragging a broken and small cart.

The person sitting in front of the car was short and round, like a big steamed bun.

Yu Rong was a little surprised, the world was too small.

After a while, the old horse, who was always worried that he would die at any time, paced and stopped in front of the broken carriage.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xie." After being surprised, Yu Rong put on a smile and said, "It's a coincidence that we met here again."

Xie Dongguan said: "My home is in Diantang, this road is the only way to go."

Yu Rong suddenly realized, glanced at the empty compartment of the carriage, and continued to exchange greetings: "Mr. Xie is going home?"

Xie Dongguan nodded halfway, then shook his head.

Yu Rong was confused by him.

But the fat merchant's small eyes rolled around, and a smile appeared on his chubby face: "Doctor Xiao Yu and this..." He caught a glimpse of Nie Xinzhi who was silently standing next to the horse, and his tone became weaker. , "Is this planning to enter the city?"

Yu Rong nodded: "The carriage is broken, I have to go back to the city and buy another one."

Xie Dongguan listened, and warmly invited: "Why don't you take my car."

Yu Rong silently stared at the carriage that seemed to be falling apart in the next moment.

Xie Dongguan said again: "Isn't it a long way back to the city? My car is broken, and it's no problem to keep out the wind and rain."

Yu Rong didn't bluntly reject his kindness, but asked curiously, "Mr. Xie isn't planning to go to the city?"

Xie Dongguan pointed to the way he came: "There is a town more than 30 miles to the south. I just remembered that I have to go there. Doctor Xiaoyu, you might as well go with me, it happens to be the way to Xiaoyanjing... ...Don't worry, there is a wooden store in the town, and the carriage is well done."

That would be easy and convenient, but...

Glancing at the implicitly attentive expression of the fat merchant, Yu Rong knew in his heart that with this guy's temperament of "no profit, no early return", such an eager invitation might be "with ulterior motives".

Then he met Nie Xinzhi's eyes, he smiled slightly, and thanked: "I will trouble you, Mr. Xie."

Xie Dongguan showed joy: "No trouble, no trouble."
