Inadvertently, May ushered in.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, as the so-called midsummer is steaming.

Yu Rong and Nie Xinzhi stayed in Li County, even though they agreed to go back to Beijing together, they never left.

Because it was rainy and cloudy for a period of time ago, the land to the south is mostly mountain roads, and I was afraid that the muddy roads would be difficult for vehicles and horses, so the return date was postponed.

When the weather cleared, the guard here suddenly had an urgent matter, and the man was busy with his official duties, so he couldn't get away for a while.

This delay has dragged on until now.

Gentle breeze, blowing toward the face.

Yu Rong was catching cold, with a scroll on his lap, flipping through it time after time.

Kind of boring.

Before, Nie Xinzhi was free, and the people in front of him and behind him sometimes annoyed him too much; now that people are busy, sometimes they can't see anyone when they go to bed at night, and there is a kind of loneliness.

The pages of the miscellaneous books happen to stay at the place where it tells about "sorrow and resentment in the empty boudoir".

Yu Rong strangely thought of his state of mind, and was instantly shivered by thunder.

What loneliness and depression are swept away.

It's purely because he lived too comfortably and was free.

Insert a digression.

As Lin Sange's business became more and more prosperous, it was not enough for Yu Rong to make toothpaste, medicinal soap and other daily necessities. After a little consideration, he handed over the formula and preparation methods to apprentices Ming Geer and Zhong Geer respectively.

The two teenagers grew up gradually, and even though they were not able to do it alone, practice made perfect in preparing such daily necessities.

Doing this daily necessities business was originally for livelihood and system tasks.

Now everything is on the right track, as a doctor, Yu Rong only wants to focus on improving his medical skills.

So he decided to formally train apprentices, from the production of toothpaste, face cream, etc., to the preparation of some non-complicated medicines, he taught them all the same, and gradually let go of the business with Lin Sange.

Taking off a heavy responsibility, in addition to pharmacy, and occasionally going out to practice medicine, the rest of the time is reading medical books, occasionally writing and drawing, and regularly going to the virtual space for "practice"... There is a servant girl around, no need to think about trivial matters in life, Retirement is nothing more than that, can you not be idle?

Yu Rong threw away the miscellaneous books resolutely, and Er Erlang lived as a pensioner without any ambition.

He got up and immediately walked towards the pharmacy, thinking about it in his mind.

Yesterday, I asked Cheng Lishi to deliver two large boxes of medicines to Kuang Wanchuntang. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The storage means of medicines in this era is limited. If there are too many preparations, they will easily deteriorate if left for a long time.

Yu Rong decided not to make pills and tablets for the time being, and planned to find new prescriptions from the systematic pharmacopoeia and research new useful and practical medicines.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had an idea in an instant.

He always talked about nourishing Nie Xinzhi's kidneys, but it was just a joke, but he didn't really put it into practice.

There is no need to supplement with medicine. If the body is not weak to a certain extent, it will still be lacking if it is over-supplemented.As for food supplements, Nie Xinzhi's culinary skills are very good, and the two meals are very well matched.

In fact, there is no need to worry about it.

At the beginning, I made medicinal wine for nourishing yin, strengthening yang and invigorating the kidney, which directly touched the "thunder". Now, the wine jars are stored in my cellar and occupy only a lot of space.

After all, men rarely drink alcohol.

only……

Thinking of a prescription I saw in the Pharmacopoeia yesterday, the young doctor who loves all kinds of cakes and sweets became interested, so he decided to practice it under the banner of giving his elder brother a boost.

The so-called white ice cream is a kind of ice cream that is used both for medicine and food.

Cake, as a traditional Chinese medicine form, is steamed by mixing fine powder of medicine with rice flour, sugar or honey.Compared with traditional decoctions, pills, etc., or modern tablets, granules, etc., it is a relatively niche existence.

Cakes can be regarded as cakes, but some of them use a lot of medicines and have strong medicinal properties, so they should not be eaten casually.

The white ice cream that Yu Rong started to prepare can be regarded as an ordinary pastry, and you can eat it freely without any scruples...Of course, it is not okay to eat too much of anything.

The white ice cream has mild medicinal properties, and the main medicines are common things that can be used both as medicine and food: dried yam powder, gorgon rice, and lotus seeds.

Chinese yam strengthens the kidney and nourishes the essence. After the bran is fried, it turns cool in nature and turns warm, which is very beneficial to the spleen and stomach. Gorgon fruit has similar properties and effects. Adding lotus seeds can refresh the mind and promote sleep.

The three flavors are used together, and the cake prepared has the functions of harmonizing the spleen and stomach, strengthening the root and restoring the vitality, not only calming the nerves and strengthening the tendons, but also maintaining the skin. It also has a good curative effect on internal injuries and exhaustion.

As the saying goes, nourishing the body, invigorating the kidneys and invigorating the spirit, white ice cream is also delicious when eaten as a snack, which can be called almost perfect.

How could Yu Rong not be interested?

Compared with pills, tablets, etc., the preparation of cakes is very simple.

Except that the ingredients are unusual, medicinal powder is used, and the method is almost the same as ordinary steamed cakes.

Take the ground rice and glutinous rice flour, fry them according to a certain ratio, sieve and add yam powder, Gorgon rice and lotus seeds are ground into powder in advance, mix them all, add refined sugar and cold water, make a cake shape, then put Put it in a steamer and steam it until it becomes white ice cream.

The color is white and light, soft and sweet, it is pleasing to the eye, and it is fragrant after eating.

After steaming several large baskets of white ice cream, Yu Rong shared more than half among the people in the yard, and kept the rest for himself and his brother to eat.

Before Nie Xinzhi returned, he couldn't hold back, so he ate several big pieces.

Yu Rong prefers the taste of rice flour to cakes made of wheat flour, but there is a little...

The weather is hot, eating too many pastries, especially prone to dry mouth.

It would be nice to have some drinks.

Just thinking like this, a Lang Wei held a bundle of white and yellow slender stalks, bowed his head and said: "My lord, this is what the commanding officer ordered me to give it to you."

Yu Rong squinted his eyes, and couldn't see clearly what the bundle was for a while.

Before approaching, the nose sensitively smelled a unique fragrance.

Looking closely, Yu Rong suddenly realized: "Lotus root...fu?"

Lang Weidao: "Exactly. Qinghu lotus root is famous all over the world. Now the lotus root has not grown yet, but the lotus root has a good flavor. Therefore, the Commander wants to invite you to try something new."

Yu Rong is embarrassing, isn't my brother busy with business, and even deserted, thinking about something delicious, really...

He was disrespectful!

Just as I was thinking about getting some drinks to quench my thirst, someone brought lotus root, isn't it just right?

Lotus root, also known as lotus root, is the young rhizome of lotus, which expands and grows into lotus root.

Lotus root is flat in nature and sweet in taste. It is most suitable for quenching thirst and annoyance. It can be eaten raw, cooked, or cold.

Stir-fried is fine, but lotus root is eaten raw. Although it is crispy, sweet and refreshing, it has a somewhat earthy smell, which makes it hard to get used to eating it at first.

Yu Rong thought of making lotus root syrup.

Take a large pot of honey, add water to dissolve it, boil it for a while, filter out impurities, and stir repeatedly to remove foam, which is the so-called refining honey.

Then carefully clean the lotus root, remove the outer skin, cut it into sections, soak it in honey melted into sweet spring water, and let it stand for half a day, which is the lotus root pulp.

If you feel dry mouth or heat, eat lotus root or drink honey juice, you will be able to produce body fluids and quench your thirst.

The lotus root syrup is paired with white ice cream, the flavor is really wonderful.

Of course, the sweet partner may be a bit too sweet for some people.

Yu Rong didn't feel that it was too sweet. After eating a mouthful of cake and drinking lotus root syrup, a sense of happiness filled his chest, and life couldn't be more wonderful.

"Rong'er."

Feeling the warmth against his back, Yu Rong raised his head and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Elder brother is not too hot."

Nie Xinzhi said softly, "It's not hot."

It was just a casual talk, Yu Rong didn't argue with him, picked up the chopsticks, picked up sliced ​​white ice cream, and brought it to the man's mouth.

Nie Xin opened his mouth without changing his expression.

Seeing this, Yu Rong smiled slightly, took another piece of lotus root, and put it into the man's mouth for the second time.

Nie Xin never refuses anyone who comes.

Just feed one, eat one...

Yu Rong suddenly put down his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, are you a goldfish? If I feed you, you will eat."

If you eat stupidly, you are not afraid to hold on.

The point is, obviously this man doesn't like steamed cakes or lotus root at all.

It's just to tease him, but this guy's patience is really good.

Nie Xinzhi said calmly, "It's not bad."

Yu Rong shook his head, and decided not to tease this man with such things next time, being forced to eat food he doesn't like is definitely not a comfortable experience.

His eyes swept over the almost empty food plate, and he wanted to cry for an instant but had no tears.Okay, I'm feeding my brother. I thought I would leave the ice cream and lotus root syrup as snacks to eat slowly.

It is really "harming others and benefiting oneself".

Sighing, heartbroken.

Yu Rong simply turned around and faced his elder brother head-on. This way, one can't see the empty food plate, out of sight and out of mind, and on the other hand, it feels too hot to be pressed against the back.

He smiled and asked, "Why are you back now?"

For several days in a row, the man could not see anyone until late at night.

Nie Xinzhi replied, "It's over."

Yu Rongwei nodded, he guessed the same, and said: "Then we should go? After a while, it will be dog days, and we will die of heat if we go on the way."

Nie Xinzhi has nothing to do with it: "The day after tomorrow, we will start our journey if there is no rain."

Yu Rong said "hmm", speaking of it, it is not too far from Li County to Yanzhou, but it is only a day's journey.

Maybe it's because it's close to home, even if I stay here for a long time, I don't feel much eagerness.

"By the way." Suddenly thinking of the reason for staying here in the first place, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Where are those children sent?" They were abducted children who had never been claimed by their families.

Nie Xinzhi said: "Place them in the local Niyiwei camp."

"Is that okay?"

Nie Xinzhi's tone was light: "It's okay, everyone can use it, and it will be included in our military guard in the future."

Yu Rong suddenly realized, and then he opened up all kinds of brain holes. For example, it has been written in countless novels that orphans without father and mother are taken in, and after training, they become a special and secret force. Did you come this way?

Thinking wildly, he spoke unconsciously.

Nie Xinzhi said: "Anzi is very human, and it is difficult for these immature children to take on great responsibilities."

Yu Rong blinked and asked curiously, "Then what do they want to do in the future?"

Nie Xinzhi gave a short explanation: "There are many miscellaneous tasks such as farming, breeding, serving medicine, trading, and military guards, all of which require manpower."

Yu Rong is silent, well, he thinks too much.

That's right, Ni Zhi Lang Wei, who has a high rank, is of noble birth, but he doesn't look like someone who can do those chores.

but……

At least, those homeless and unreliable children will no longer suffer from being displaced, and since then they have a place to settle down, which is indeed good.

There was a slight sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Yu Rong, who was chatting with the man, subconsciously followed the sound and looked over. Seeing a letter at the man's feet, he couldn't help being stunned.

Did not pick it up right away.

Yu Rong raised his eyes to look at Nie Xinzhi, although he was expressionless as usual, he was keenly aware of something strange.

Could it be that there is something invisible about this letter?

Yu Rong couldn't help thinking about it.

Nie Xinzhi sat still.

Gathering up the messy things made up in his brain, Yu Rong looked at the man strangely: "Your letter dropped on the floor, why didn't you pick it up?" Before the man responded for a while, he frowned inadvertently, and said in a tentative tone, "Then, I Pick it up for you?"

Nie Xinzhi finally nodded.

Yu Rong couldn't help but slander, what kind of tricks is his brother playing?

Muttering to himself, he leaned over to pick up the letter, glanced at it casually, and was a little surprised——

It was actually written for yourself?

Looking at the handwriting, it looks familiar...

"Brother Zhou?"

Yu Rong suddenly remembered, took the letter, and glanced at his brother: just say, why is this man reacting so strangely, and his feelings are narrow-minded again?

ignore him.

Yu Rong opened the envelope and wanted to read it.

Nie Xinzhi suddenly said, "Rong'er."

"Ok?"

"Uncomfortable."

There was a pause in the movement of his hands, Yu Rong raised his eyes and looked over, amused in his heart, and responded: "What's the matter? Why don't I argue with my brother?"

If you lie about your condition again, you must be beaten up.

Nie Xinzhi answered honestly, "Toothache."

Hearing this, Yu Rong looked at the man's expression: It seems, is it true this time?

However, how could there be a sudden toothache...

Suddenly remembered that he just fed this man suddenly, a lot of white ice cream and lotus root syrup——

No way?

Yu Rong was embarrassed, so he quickly put aside Zhou Fangzhen's letter, and leaned closer to the man's face: "Open your mouth, I'll show you."
