Fang Zhai more than ten acres [system]

Fried rice candy, a traditional delicacy that has gradually been forgotten in modern society, was still a rarity in the Min Dynasty.

Although compared with the previous dynasty, Min country's sugar industry is much more developed, but for ordinary people, sugar, as a non-essential item, is still a relatively luxurious existence.

Even those who live a decent life, sometimes they are so greedy that they have to catch up with festivals, happy events, etc., before they buy some to try.

Until the twelfth lunar month, some of the third-class households may be willing to spend money and invite someone to come to the house to "beat sugar"-half a catty of caramel mixed with a few taels of sugar, boil it and mix it with fried rice, and beat out a dozen or twenty A pound of fried rice candy is just right for receiving New Year guests in the first month... The rest should be sealed and stored in a rice jar, and eaten slowly. It will be no problem to eat for more than half a year.

In the modern age, tired of eating all kinds of sweets and desserts, Yu Rong almost forgot the taste of rice candy.

Suddenly remembered it at this moment, and immediately had an idea.

Since it is Chinese New Year, follow the custom of Chinese New Year.

The maltose that Kuang Wanchuntang sent weighed at least three to four catties, so instead of waiting to be wasted, it is better to use it to make rice candy.

The rice sugar is put in, it is delicious and full of stomach, not only can be eaten dry, but also can be soaked in water, it is good to use it to fill the stomach.

As soon as he thought about it, he started to act, Yu Rong dug out the leftover glutinous rice from making zongzi the day before yesterday.

Washing, burning the stove, cooking.

The rice candy that Yu Rong makes is strictly speaking not fried rice candy, but frozen rice candy with the characteristics of his hometown.

Fried rice candy and frozen rice candy are similar in appearance, and there seems to be little difference in taste. People who don’t know it are easy to confuse them, but in fact the two are not the same, and the production methods are also very different.

When it comes to frozen rice candy, Yu Rong is most impressed by boiled sweet potato syrup.

When a pot of sweet potatoes is cooked, add some maltose, filter the residue and simmer over low heat until it turns into syrup.

It's a pity that Min Dynasty didn't have sweet potatoes, so the syrup couldn't be cooked.

Yu Rong can only refer to the method of making fried rice sugar, using maltose and soft white sugar instead of syrup—although in his opinion, the taste of malt syrup is slightly inferior to syrup.

The step of boiling syrup is saved, the most important thing is to make frozen rice.

Compared with fried rice, the production of frozen rice is much more troublesome.

Cooked glutinous rice is cooled, spread on bamboo plaques and bamboo mats, and let the sun dry for a period of time, until the rice grains are dry, and the translucent frozen rice is so crispy that it can be broken into two pieces when the teeth are bitten, it is suitable for frying. Popcorn.The rice crackers are poured into the hot syrup, stir-fried repeatedly, put into the mold, flattened and cut into square pieces while hot.

When the syrup is dry, the rice sugar is ready.

Regardless of fried rice candy or frozen rice candy, you can add other things, such as sesame and peanuts.Sesame candy and peanut candy are also the two most common types of rice candy, which are more fragrant and delicious than pure rice candy.

Min Chao didn't have any peanuts yet, so Yu Rong had to prepare an extra serving of sesame seeds—fortunately, he didn't like peanuts very much.

The smoke curled up.

Not long after, the kitchen and even the entire backyard wafted the fragrance of glutinous rice.

It was almost time for dinner, so Yu Rong called Uncle Dumb and the others, and each of them served a large bowl of glutinous rice.

Sticky and glutinous, with a hint of sweetness, the rice is swallowed into the stomach, and there is still endless sweetness in the mouth, which is very satisfying.

only……

If you eat too much glutinous rice, you will get tired easily and not feel full.Fortunately, each of us ate two bowls of tofu nao, so we don't have to worry about being hungry at night.

Of course, except for Yu Rong, a little prodigal, none of the other people in the room would dislike Nuomi Grea.

Especially a few children, holding bowls, all smiling, their faces full of joy, just like the New Year.

Not to mention rice sugar, in fact, glutinous rice itself is relatively rare, and it is rare to have the opportunity to eat it with such an open stomach.

——Perhaps because of this, people in this area use fried rice instead of frozen rice to make sugar for Chinese New Year.

After filling the stomach, the rice in the big pot is no longer hot, and it is time to serve it.Wash the bamboo plaques, sprinkle the rice evenly, and rub the rice balls with your hands until they become grains of rice.After scraping off the rice, scoop out the crispy crispy rice crackers, let it dry in the sun for a few days, and fry it in tea oil. It is another delicious snack.

Yu Rong couldn't help being secretly annoyed, blaming himself for not remembering the existence of frozen rice candy earlier.There are not many days at the end of this year, and if the weather is bad, it may not be in time to make rice candy before the Spring Festival.

Soon he was relieved, anyway, this candy was eaten by himself, and it didn't make any difference whether it was made a year ago or a year ago... It's just to make the best use of the two big jars of caramel.

It will be dark, so the glutinous rice will be left to dry in the shade, and then it will be dried when the sun comes out tomorrow.

Before the frozen rice is dried, there is no way to make rice sugar, so it can only be put aside for the time being.

There are many more to be busy.

Not to mention normal studies, Yu Rong spends most of his time every day on research and preparation of medicines.The modified version of the pill rolling machine is becoming more and more proficient, and the production of Liuwei Dihuang pills is becoming more and more smooth. On the premise of ensuring the quality, the speed is accelerated and the quantity is increasing...

Just like that, when I think of all kinds of patent medicines that are widely applicable and innumerable in modern times, I can't be complacent.At least, it is far from enough to just produce one Liuwei Dihuang Pill, and we must continue to study other standing medicines with market prospects.

Don't worry, after a period of precipitation, Yu Rong has made up his mind and decided to proceed steadily... The ambition to introduce modern Chinese patent medicine still exists, but everything cannot be accomplished overnight, there is no need to rush, anyway, he is still young, take it slowly .

In addition to studying and making medicines, making medicated soap and toothpaste is also a daily job.

Brother Zhong and Brother Ming can only start a fight at the moment, and the key process depends on Yu Rong himself.

Perhaps because of the end of the year, Lin Sange's business is really good. The supply of toothpaste and medicated soap is always in short supply. He rushed to make several times, and the quantity of each production even increased a lot, but it was still not enough to sell.

Yu Rong "worked overtime" for several days and was too busy. Finally, he brought out the "artifact" of pharmaceuticals--the percolation tank and the reflux extraction equipment that were fired at Ru Kiln at a great price.

The two things have still undergone systematic magic changes, which are different from the modern ones.

In fact, in the storage compartment, there are ready-made percolators and reflux extraction equipment, which were rewarded by the system at the beginning. However, Yu Rong felt that glass utensils were too eye-catching—even if there were glazed products in this era—he didn’t plan to take them. Come out and use it.

However, the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Regardless of whether it is through decoction or solid sublimation, the heat is not easy to control, and the process is inevitably accompanied by decomposition, resulting in poor yield and low efficiency.Yu Rongji first used the dipping method, which is simple and easy to do, but the leaching rate is relatively poor, and water is used as the solvent, so the medicinal liquid extracted by this method is easy to spoil.

Wanting to improve efficiency and reduce some tedious work, it is natural to think of introducing modern techniques.

There are real objects rewarded by the system, and Yu Rong spent a lot of contribution points in exchange for blueprints, and now there is the modified percolation tank and backflow extraction equipment.Extraction of traditional Chinese medicine components by percolation and reflux extraction greatly improves the leaching rate of the medicinal liquid and reduces time-consuming. Combined with a manual powder medicine machine, it is suitable for mass production.

Of course, with only Yu Rong's hands, no matter how much mass production is done, it will not go anywhere.

Anyway, the money is enough, he has no major pursuits in business, and he didn't think about expanding the scale for a while... He is making a lot of money now, relying on toothpaste and medicinal soap, enough for him to eat for a few years without worrying.

When Yu Rong was "not thinking about making progress", he hadn't checked the presence system for a long time, and suddenly issued a reminder.

It wasn't another temporary task, the system notified him that the sub-profession had been upgraded because the net profit of the "trader" exceeded a hundred silver.

Yu Rong was really surprised.Apart from making toothpaste for Brother Lin to sell, he doesn't seem to be doing much, right?Moreover, it has only been so long, and he has made so much money... What a huge profit!

Having said that, since there are hundreds of silver in pure profit, why didn't he see the money?

Think about it carefully... Yu Rong is embarrassing.

——It seems that he spent all the money he earned?

This……

Yu Rong cleared his throat, stopped worrying about where the money went, and focused on the rewards of the system.

There are quite a lot of daily tasks in the sub-profession, and I have accumulated a lot of contribution points in the early stage, but there have been no real rewards. This time I have upgraded, presumably...

A manual is the reward of the system.

Yu Rong flipped through it curiously, the manual was not thick, and he finished it in a short while.

The mood is a little delicate.

This manual is not as valuable as the medicine books that were rewarded before, but it is... very practical?

Can it be practical?Shampoo and face cream are indispensable daily necessities in modern families.

The manual lists the formulations of different shampoos and creams in detail according to efficacy, cost, etc.

Yu Rong was silent.

Does the system want him to promote a whole series of daily chemical products in Minchao?

Leaving aside any promotion, this handbook came in a timely manner, which is indeed very desirable.

——The system is as considerate as ever.

Just last night, when taking a bath, Yu Rong was still thinking that there is no shampoo, it is too inconvenient to wash her hair with soap, and, although there are facial fats in this era, not to mention expensive, the smell is not very pleasant, and it is very greasy. Uncomfortable... It was a flash of thought at the time, and I didn't think about it seriously.

After all, there's no need to do everything yourself.

But now that there is a formula, and the preparation process is described in detail, you can try it.If the production process is not more complicated than that of toothpaste, it would be nice to have one more product that can be sold... According to his current consumption, he doesn't have to worry about his income decreasing in the future and not being able to support himself.

Yu Rong, who "likes the new and dislikes the old", immediately changed his mind, abandoned making toothpaste and medicinal soap, and asked apprentices to help process medicinal materials.

There are facial fats available in the market, so I first tested the shampoo that Min Chao did not have.

The main ingredients are the same as the medicated soap, and the soapberry and saponins are the king of cleansing and decontaminating.

Sapindus has a lot of foam and strong cleaning ability, which can remove dandruff and relieve itching; saponin can thoroughly clean hair follicles, and has the effect of sterilizing and relieving itching naturally.

Add some other medicines in moderation.

Such as.Arborvitae leaves to prevent hair loss, frost mulberry leaves to improve scalp symptoms of dampness and heat, sophora flavescens to balance oil, and Polygonum multiflorum that nourishes black hair and has the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing the essence...

Crush medicinal materials, soak, boil, and filtrate after cooling.

Yu Rong used animal bones, added resin, and made homemade gelatin—gelatin is a natural thickener, which is good for preservation when mixed into shampoo.

Shampoo is much easier to make than toothpaste.

Yu Rong thinks it can be considered as a commodity that can be sold.

Similarly, like toothpaste, shampoo should be divided into three grades.Take this formula he experimented with as an example. The most common shampoo, sapinberry and saponins, can be added with arborvitae leaves and frost mulberry leaves at most... It is easy to make and low in cost; Sophora flavescens and other precious medicinal materials, such as Polygonum multiflorum, are exclusively for the class of consumers with status and status.

The production of the shampoo was very successful, there were some herbs left, Yu Rong thought for a while, added a few herbs, and continued to experiment with facial fat.

The preparation process of facial fat is more complicated, meticulous and exquisite, and it takes two or three days to form.

Yu Rong felt that it was a bit troublesome, so she thought of medicated soap, which is quite convenient to make after getting used to it, so she stopped being picky—anyway, this thing is a luxury product, and it will be a high-quality product in the future.

The next day after the facial fat was made, Lin Sange came as scheduled and saw two new products. He was a little overjoyed and discussed about the new product... Similar to the previous situation, the facial fat already exists. Unlike medicated soap, you don't have to worry too much about sales, but shampoo is a new thing, and how the market responds remains to be verified.

Yu Rong doesn't get involved in business matters, and is only responsible for research and development. Anyway, whether the shampoo sells well or not won't affect his life.Even if the sales are not good, it will at least be convenient for him if he finds out shampoo and learns to make his own face cream.

After finishing the research and development of new things, I didn't have time to take a breather, and it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

Xin'an Mansion attaches great importance to the New Year, because it is the day to give away the Kitchen God, so you don't need to wait until New Year's Eve. If you eat the Stove Baba on the New Year's Eve, you will be one year older.

Yu Rong doesn't really like to eat Stove Baba, so he barely ate two to fill his stomach, and if he doesn't eat, he will "not grow up".

——Although it doesn't make sense, there's no need to deliberately spoil the fun in order to catch up with the festive day.

Before the bowl was put down, someone rushed to the door and asked him to go to the doctor.

Without thinking about it, Yu Rong took the medicine box with commonly used medicines and basic medical equipment, and followed the visitor, and walked seven or eight miles before arriving at the place... It is a neighboring village of Qinglian, but he has never been here before. that is.

On the way, Yu Rong asked the man about the patient's situation, but the other party hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.

The other party is a 30-year-old man with a simple and honest temperament. He looks like an honest person, but judging by his evasive appearance, he somehow feels like he has done something wrong.

Yu Rong asked several times, only to see the other party's panicked expression, and a bad premonition vaguely rose in his heart...

Think about it, since he traveled through time, he has encountered so many inexplicable and unlucky things, and he has made up all kinds of possibilities in his brain, and it is out of control.

Following the man's footsteps, Yu Rong looked around calmly.

Like Qinglian, this is a very normal village. Tonight, on the eve of the night, many people walk from door to door, making it extremely lively. There are voices from the neighbors, and sometimes there is the sound of dogs barking in the distance... quite There is a feeling of popularity.

The man stopped in front of a fence gate. Inside was a three-room earthen house. The door was open and the house was lit. No matter how you looked at it, it was an ordinary household.

Yu Rong silently put away the idea of ​​throwing corpses in the wilderness, cough.

"Little doctor, this way."

The man seemed inexplicably cramped.

This person's attitude was really weird, which made Yu Rong even more curious.

In the middle of the earthen house is the main room, on the left side is an earthen stove with piles of firewood, which is probably the kitchen, and on the right hand side is the half-closed door, which must be the bedroom.

Yu Rong stepped over the threshold of the gate, and glanced at the altar above inadvertently.On the dilapidated pottery pot, there are a few wintersweet flowers, adding a little elegance to the dilapidated house... a little out of harmony.

"Ah Ruo, the doctor is here." The man called out from the door.

After a while, the boy's hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in."

It seems that this man is not the owner of this room?

Secretly speculating, Yu Rong pushed the door open and entered.

The man didn't come in with him in the main room.

The bedroom was dilapidated and dark, and the air was filled with complex smells, musty smell mixed with strange aroma, and there was also a smell of medicine, which suddenly rushed into the nasal cavity, making me a little dizzy.

Kind of like a horror movie.

The fact is that Yu Rong thinks too much.

There was a person lying on the bed, about the same age as him, when the other person saw him, he asked, "Where are you a doctor?"

"The green curtain."

"Why haven't I seen you?"

Although the other party's tone sounded a bit impolite, Yu Rong didn't feel at ease, and answered if he could answer: "I have only been in Qinglian not long ago."

The other party suddenly.

Yu Rong didn't chat with him any more, and while observing his complexion in the dim light, he verbally asked him how he felt.

The boy named A Ruo was suspiciously silent, and after a while, he suddenly said, "I'm not uncomfortable at all, I just got cut and bleeding... Doctor, just prescribe me an ointment to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain."

Not being able to see the wound with his own eyes, and not being sure about the specific situation, Yu Rong would not prescribe medicine indiscriminately.

The atmosphere is a little stiff.

Yu Rong thought it was too weird, no matter it was this guy named A Ruo, or the guy waiting outside the main room.

After a long time, Ah Ruo blushed and his voice was like a mosquito.

After a lot of effort, Yu Rong finally heard what the other party said clearly——

On the first day of practicing medicine, he was mentally prepared that he might encounter various strange diseases or strange patients...

But it really happened, and the mood is still a little hard to express.

However, he still had to maintain a calm expression on his face.

Smelling the smell of medicine in the air, Yu Rong asked calmly, "What medicine did you use?"

The most embarrassing thing was said, and Ah Ruo calmed down: "I rubbed the active oil, and then it bleeds again, and now it is very swollen."

Yu Rong's black line, Huoluo oil is similar to safflower oil in modern times.

Anal fissures are also rubbed with safflower oil, what a warrior!

—Yes, an anal fissure.

That's why that man, including Ah Ruo himself, was so ashamed to speak.

As for the cause of the anal fissure, according to him, it is very strange, not because of hemorrhoids or other diseases, but, for some reason, he actually stuffed a wooden wedge into it...

Yu Rong said that he couldn't understand the brain circuit of the other party, and couldn't figure out why he couldn't think about it like this.

Forget it.

He is a doctor, only in charge of treatment.

Probably because of embarrassment, Ah Ruo didn't ask the doctor to see it, and rubbed the active oil on himself, but unexpectedly, the situation became more serious.I couldn't take it anymore, so I asked the man to go a long way to find Yu Rong in Qinglian, and come to treat him.

After several days of delay, the injury has worsened.

Yu Rong sighed silently, rummaged through the medicine box, found a few medicines at least, decoction can relieve the injury, but to really heal, you have to prepare external ointment... I can only wait for him to go back and make it. At that time, let the man come and pick it up.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yu Rong carried the medicine box on his back and walked silently on the country road.

Concerned about A Ruo's injury, but in an embarrassing mood...

There are so many weird things in this world.

Then, thinking of the pitiful look of that young man lying on the bed, he couldn't help feeling a little pity.

It must be very painful, especially with active oil...

So, the very responsible young doctor, as soon as he got home, went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. After busying for most of the night, he rushed to make a small jar of ointment.

"doing what?"

In the empty quiet room, this question suddenly sounded.

Accustomed to someone's disappearance, Yu Rong didn't feel frightened at all, she turned her head very naturally, and waved at the man who appeared in the room at some unknown time: "Yo, brother Xin."

Nie Xinzhi walked up to him in two steps, and his gaze fell on the medicine jar in his hand—it contained light yellow, crystal clear ointment.

"What is this?"

medicine...

Yu Rong blurted out his answer, but suddenly remembered that the ointment had a very special purpose, and felt a little embarrassed for no reason... an embarrassment that even he himself couldn't understand.
