Fang Zhai more than ten acres [system]
Chapter 46
Yu Rong quickly calmed down, there is no need to be embarrassed or anything, a doctor must learn to be calm, so he held up the medicine jar and explained the purpose of this ointment.
Astringe sores and sterilize, detoxify and reduce inflammation, stop bleeding and relieve pain, promote muscle growth and dissipate rot, it is mainly suitable for wounds, ulcers and sores, etc. It has mild medicinal properties, lubricates and moisturizes, and has the effect of curing carbuncles and ulcers... Yu's moisturizing oil Cream, worth having!
After selling and boasting, the young doctor said with a smile: "Brother Xin, would you like some? This ointment not only treats hemorrhoids, but also can be used for skin care. If you wipe your hands with it, it will definitely prevent frostbite and cracking..."
Before he finished speaking, Nie Xinzhi reached out and took the medicine jar.
Yu Rong opened his mouth slightly, and after a while, he suddenly realized that he was embarrassed in an instant.
——Hey, he was just joking, why did he really accept it...Brother Xin, does he have hemorrhoids, or does he feel that it is cold, so he uses this thing as skin care oil?
Staring at those staring peach blossom eyes, Nie Xinzhi said softly, "Thank you."
After a moment of silence, Yu Rong replied without temper: "You're welcome."
Brother Xin is too serious, and the jokes are too boring.
Eh... wait!
"Brother Xin, don't really take it away," Yu Rong said hastily, "This ointment is urgently needed by a patient, so I'll make a separate bottle for you later." After thinking about it, he changed his words, "Forget it, this can Don’t take the ointment from the old one, it’s too rough...I’ll change the recipe later, and add pearl powder or something to make a better ointment.” Not to mention the improvement in curative effect, the medicine’s properties are softer, which greatly reduces the effect on the human body. side effects.
Upon hearing this, Nie Xinzhi returned the medicine jar.
Yu Rong put it away, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out an exquisite and elegant medicine bottle from the storage compartment under the cover of the medicine cabinet: "This is for you, quick-acting muscle-creating ointment, use the hare you hunted For the brain, I added Codonopsis pilosula, Bletilla striata, Corydalis corydalis, etc., and it can have a quick effect when you are injured."
It is similar to lubricating ointment in terms of efficacy, but Shengji ointment has strong medicinal properties, so it is definitely not suitable for skin care.
Nie Xinzhi took the medicine bottle containing Shengji Ointment and thanked him again.
Yu Rong shook his head indifferently, and said with a smile, "Brother Xin, how many nights do you plan to stay this time?"
I figured out the pattern, every important festival, this man would appear miraculously, and he often brought with him indescribable gifts.
"It can wait until the day after tomorrow."
"It's so short, so why do you make a special trip... Besides, aren't you at home for the New Year's Eve?"
"No problem." Nie Xinzhi said calmly, "Nie Xuan ran away from home."
Yu Rong was speechless for a moment, and after a moment, he laughed: "Aren't your brothers staying at home all day?"
Nie Xinzhi didn't reply, and watched the young doctor's smile with calm eyes.
"Second Young Master's body..." Yu Rong paused slightly, "Is it okay to be alone?"
"There are guards following." The man answered every question.
Yu Rong nodded, his heart suddenly moved, and he went to look through the cabinet again: "This is Liuwei Dihuang Wan, which nourishes the kidney and nourishes yin. Brother Xin, take it back and ask the Chinese doctor to see it. Maybe it will be of some benefit to the second son."
Nie Xuan is very likely to be born with a deficiency, and taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan may improve his poor health.
Nie Xinzhi accepted the young doctor's kindness.
"Let's go," Yu Rong pulled the man's arm unconsciously, "I'll make the bed for you..." He laughed, "The guest room in my house is all yours."
"Wait a moment." Nie Xinzhi suddenly said.
Yu Rong was silent.The rhythm is so familiar, do you want to show him some presents again?
then……
Sure enough, another gift.
Yu Rong was speechless.Can't think of a husband like Xin's brother Ang Zang, how can he be so enthusiastic about giving gifts?
Let's say he has a delicate mind, and the things he sends every time are always a little different.
"This is... a fish?" The young doctor said in surprise, "It's still alive?"
"A tribute from the East China Sea."
"A tribute?"
The young doctor felt that his knowledge was shallow, and he had never come into contact with such a "tall" existence as the tribute.
"Ah."
"What kind of fish is this?" Yu Rong surrounded the small wooden barrel, aroused interest, and stirred his right finger in the water, "I don't think I've seen it before." He didn't know much about sea fish, before crossing, The most common food is river fresh food.
"Jiaxi."
"What?"
Nie Xinzhi repeated the fish's name again.
Yu Rong was embarrassed, but still couldn't figure out which two words the other party said, he was really ignorant.
I have never heard of fish before, and I don’t know how to eat them. Judging from the appearance, these two fish don’t look weird. I thought to myself that it would be fine if they were braised in brown sauce?However, in the middle of the night, there is no need to worry about how to cook the fish, we will wait until dawn.
So I moved the wooden barrel to the greenhouse in the shack, where it is warmer. I think the fish will not be frozen to death if they are left overnight?
Yu Rong didn't know whether the fish were frozen to death, because early the next morning, he found that the bucket was empty...the two fish were gone.
I was stunned, not realizing what happened for a long time.
"Meow~"
Yu Rong came back to his senses quickly, took a step, walked to the basin stand, tiptoed and hugged Sanxiu down: "Little San, tell me, did you steal my fish?"
Sanxiu tilted her head, opened her big round eyes, dazed and innocent, very pitiful.
I opened Sanxiu's mouth and checked it... I can't see why.
"Not you? Which one is that?"
Released Sanxiu, Yu Rong went to find General Chi Yan and Sang Chen, searched all over the yard, and finally saw two cats on the tiled roof of the main room.
Yu Rong raised his head and stared at it for a long while, then heartbrokenly gave up the idea of finding them to settle accounts.
The cat does not teach, but the owner does. He is so confident that his cat will not steal.The two live fresh fish are placed there in a big way... Didn't they deliberately test the quality of those cats!
"What's wrong?"
Yu Rong turned to look at the man, feeling a little guilty: "It's nothing..." Rolling his eyes, he suddenly asked, "Then what kind of carp is quite expensive?"
Nie Xinzhi thought for a while: "The value is between four and five hundred."
Four or five hundred guan? !Two fish are almost a thousand fishes!Thinking about it, all his net worth is now discounted together, even selling himself with three cats... Maybe he can't exchange for so much money, right?
A prodigal such as Yu Rong couldn't help but "collapse".
Nie Xinzhi looked at him suspiciously: "Shaozhen?"
Yu Rong tried her best to calm down the "sorrow and anger" in her heart, and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Brother Xin. The fish you brought yesterday..." It was a bit difficult to say, "It was eaten by the cat at home."
Nie Xinzhi didn't seem to expect that things would turn out like this. After a moment of silence, he said again: "Next winter, I'll take a few more for you to enjoy."
"Farewell." Yu Rong shook his head, "I'm afraid my throat will get stuck after eating."
Nie Xinzhi said: "There are fewer thorns in Jiaxi."
"...you know that's not what I meant."
Nie Xinzhi's tone was light: "It's just food."
Yu Rong: "..."
Don't care about Hao, it seems that he is petty for no reason.
"My cat owner is really good at enjoying it," Yu Rong always had a big heart. After being depressed for a while, his mood opened up again, and he said with a smile, "Four to five hundred fish must be delicious, right? Will they eat it in the future? No more ordinary cat food?"
Tribute, what an emperor-like enjoyment!
Nie Xinzhi replied seriously: "The taste is normal."
Yu Rong glanced at him, expressing that he didn't believe it at all.
"Jia Xi is extremely rare," the man briefly explained, "It's just a surprise."
After hearing this, Yu Rong asked curiously, "How rare is it?"
"In the season of rich production, there are less than one hundred tails in each season."
"..."
Yu Rong felt that he was really guilty of letting the family cat eat those two fish.
"Don't think too much." Nie Xinzhi said calmly.
Yu Rong was silent for a moment, then smiled again, nodded, and stopped discussing the topic that made him feel uncomfortable, and said instead: "Brother Xin, is he free? I'll go shopping for new year's goods later, do you want to come together?"
Not surprisingly, Nie Xinzhi accepted the invitation.
Therefore, Yu Rong, who originally planned to go shopping in the town, temporarily changed his mind and decided to go to Yanzhou for shopping.
——Brother Xin's BMW is a veritable steed!It takes less than half an hour to go to Yanzhou.
It was still early, and it was just the right hour when the horse arrived at Yanzhou City.
With previous experience in big purchases, Yu Rong first found a sports car and went straight to the market.
According to traditional customs, after 23 years, it will be as prosperous as Xiaoyanjing, which is almost twice as lively as an ordinary market day.
Seeing the crowded crowd, Yu Rong couldn't help feeling a bit of retreat—completely miscalculated the situation—and thought that the closer the New Year was, the more people would buy New Year's goods, so he could only bite the bullet and squeeze into the crowd!
When it comes to New Years, the first thing that comes to mind is new clothes.
However, Yu Rong bought a lot of cloth before, and the previous tailor made all new clothes, so there is no need to spend this money.
The second is the peach charm.
In the past few years, spring stickers have gradually become popular, and he can write them himself, so he didn't plan to buy them.
Standing in front of the grocery store, Yu Rong picked up a piece of mahogany and asked the man beside him: "Brother Xin, what do you think if I buy this?"
The human figure carved on the peach talisman, with beard and eyes open, raised a knife and held a halberd, in the posture of subjugating demons... Although the name of the person is not engraved, everyone knows who it refers to.
Nie Xinzhi lowered her eyebrows: "It's up to you."
The reaction is too calm, boring!
Thinking of this, Yu Rong pointed to the stall with a smile, and said to the vendor, "Please take the few pieces from the store."
The shopkeeper smiled all over his face: "Young master, why don't you come up with some heavenly stickers? Put them on the door lintel to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth."
Hearing this, Yu Rong became interested: "Why don't you show it?"
The store is very good at doing business, peach charms and door gods, Tianxing stickers for fortune, reeds and golden colors, strands of flowers and banners... Different materials, different styles, and different prices, take them out one by one, and it’s good to be eloquent. After some sales promotion, there was no repetition of auspicious words, which made people feel very refreshed.
Yu Rong felt very fresh, thinking of the modern Chinese New Year, which completely lost the taste of the New Year, and found it more interesting in comparison.
For the Chinese New Year, it is appropriate to wear red and hanging colors, which is full of fun and joy.Thinking about it, he didn't hesitate to pick a few pieces of each and buy them, and decorate them inside and out at home, adding to the excitement.
"Brother Xin," Yu Rong picked out a bunch of flowers and joked with a smile, "Why don't you put one on your head? The shopkeeper said that if you wear this during Chinese New Year, you will have good luck in the next year."
Nie Xinzhi didn't make a sound, and without any hesitation, he took the pink silk flower from the young doctor's hand.
Yu Rong opened his eyes slightly.
The man didn't put the wisp of flowers on his head, but inserted them obliquely in the young doctor's bun.
"……Hey!"
Yu Rong was embarrassed, raised her hand in haste, touched the silk flower on her hair and tugged it, trying to pick it off, but she didn't know how ingenious the person beside her was, if she didn't pull it hard, she wouldn't be able to pull it... and she didn't dare to use too much force , afraid of accidentally loosening the hair towel.
The young doctor looked at the man begging for help.
Nie Xinzhi looked at it quietly for a while, then commented: "It's very beautiful."
Yu Rong is embarrassing.
Just imagine, a big man wearing a big pink flower on his head looks like a fool from the next door, so stupid... I can't bear to look directly at him.
The streets are full of people.
Yu Rong was very embarrassed, and couldn't help calling softly: "Brother Xin..." Inadvertently, his eyes revealed a look of flattery.
The four eyes are facing each other.In the end, Nie Xinzhi didn't make things difficult for him, and helped pick the flowers.
Yu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and cleared his throat: "Let's change to another place."
Walking along the street, keep your eyes on any shop beside the aisle.
It is said that from the first day to the eighth day, all shops will not be open.Years ago, Yu Rong didn't plan to make another trip, so he planned to buy all the things he needed in one go.
Just looking at the list, it seems that there are not many, but it is really cumbersome to actually buy.
Firecrackers are indispensable.
There are also fireworks. Minchao's fireworks manufacturing technology has made great progress. Buy a few to add excitement to the festival.
Places that sell fireworks and firecrackers also sell gold and silver paper, which are burned on New Year's Eve when visiting the ancestors and praying to the gods, so you must buy a whole stack.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Rong saw the beautiful Chinese knot, which made Yu Rong feel kind and happy. He asked the shopkeeper and found out that it was originally called "Baishiji".
Baishiji means auspiciousness, and it looks good to decorate. Of course, you have to buy three, five or seven, and hang it between the verandahs when you go home.
There is a semi-colon of Kuang Wanchun Hall across the street.
Thinking of the empty Chinese medicine cabinet in the medicine room, Yu Rong decisively decided to add some medicinal materials.
On the occasion of the new year, even the business of the pharmacy is unusually hot.
Different from modern times, this era must have "cured medicine" for Chinese New Year - "Tusu wine" in the so-called "spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu" is a kind of preserved medicine.
Yu Rong is a doctor himself, there is no need to come to the pharmacy to buy wax medicine.In fact, as early as the day of Laba, he went to the village to do as the Romans did, prepared two jars of Tusu wine, and stored wax medicine in crimson pouches, and distributed them to several members of the family, including some close neighbors such as the old village head.
In a hurry today, Yu Rong didn't linger in the pharmacy for too long, so he chose some medicinal materials that he might use recently and didn't have much reserves.
Oiled paper wrapped dozens of big bags and left the shop contentedly.
Turn around and go to the liquor store.
Yu Rong doesn't drink alcohol, but he often needs alcohol in medicine, so he tries to store some as much as possible. Anyway, the cellar at home is very big, so there is no fear of running out of space.
After leaving the hotel, turn a corner, and the whole street is almost full of food.
Yu Rong didn't plan to buy the fish, meat and vegetables needed for the Chinese New Year today.
Not to mention that there are still a few days before New Year's Eve, and it is not fresh if you buy it early. In fact, there is no need to buy it at the market.
Two days later, many families in the village want to kill pigs one after another, and they don't worry about not being able to buy fresh meat.
As for the fish, I heard the old man say something before, but I don't know the specifics. I just said that there is no need to buy fish specially for the Chinese New Year, and there will definitely be some to eat.
The vegetables are grown at home. If there is not enough to eat, you can go to other farmers in the village to buy some.
Even so, Yu Rong still walked this street carefully.There is no need for fresh ones, but there are not too few dried vegetables. Although the homemade bacon, sausages and so on, there are some in the market that he does not have at home, and he particularly likes them.
For example, the vegetarian dish has magnolia slices, which are dried bamboo shoots.
Yulan slices are fried together with meat, Yu Rong thinks, it tastes better than fresh bamboo shoots.It is quite troublesome to make this stuff at home, not to mention that there is no bamboo forest near the place where I live... Even if the magnolia slices are sold as expensive as mutton, it is still acceptable.
In addition to magnolia slices, there are also wild bracken.
Bracken is common, and he couldn't stand it when he first arrived, and there was no place to pick it in winter, so he bought it by a catty, so that he could change the taste occasionally.
The meat is ham, which is said to be transported from the state capital east of Cangping, and is very popular in Yanzhou.Yu Rong had never eaten ham from this era, so he was a little curious, so he asked the shopkeeper to cut two catties.
After buying the dried vegetables, I diverted to the food store.
There are seven things for every family to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, all have to be supplemented.In addition, Yu Rong himself has five mouths at home, as well as cats and dogs. It is very necessary to buy more, otherwise, if you accidentally finish eating, you will have no way to buy before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Then I bought dozens of eggs, purely in accordance with the tradition of my hometown. Tea eggs must be eaten on the first day of the new year.
Condiments are indispensable, and to Yu Rong, these spices are used for both medicine and food... quite useless.
In addition to the staple food and big dishes, snacks are the most indispensable during the Chinese New Year.Not to mention that the rice candy may not be ready in time to be ready before the year, even if it is ready, Yu Rong will still buy different pastries and candies, including nuts, preserved fruits, etc.Things are put away this season, so you don’t have to worry about storage if you buy too much.
"...Is there anything else missing?"
Looking at the cart that was accidentally full again, Yu Rong couldn't help asking Nie Xinzhi—after all, it was the first time for him to independently purchase New Year's goods, and he knew only a little about the New Year's customs of the Min Dynasty, and he was afraid that there might be some omissions .
Nie Xinzhi really gave additional comments: "Almanac, candles, and gifts for the new year."
Hearing this, Yu Rong was thoughtful.
Of course he knew about almanacs and candles.Needless to say, candles are used to keep the year old; almanacs are even more important, important reference books for agricultural reference... It is not like modern times, everyone has a mobile phone, and knows which day is which day, and what solar terms it is.
but……
"What is the gift for the new year?" The young doctor felt ashamed of his shallow knowledge.
Nie Xinzhi replied: "It's used as a gift for the New Year."
Yu Rong suddenly realized: "Is it a gift box?"
Nie Xinzhi nodded slightly in affirmation.
The two found a lacquerware seller.
All kinds of red lacquered wood utensils are beautiful and high-grade. Yu Rong saw them and felt that he liked them very much. He chose more than a dozen large and small boxes...and saw ones specially made for wine, which were made like a small eaves It looks like a building, and the store calls it "wine eaves". It is exquisite and unique, and it can be used as a decoration alone, so I bought several.
Instead, he went to the bookstore, and not only bought two new calendars, Yu Rong also picked out a few "idle books" for occasional entertainment.
By the way, I bought paper and ink.
At the place where candles were sold, he saw many exquisite colored paper lanterns. After inquiring about the prices, he felt that they were a bit expensive, so he changed his mind, glanced at the man beside him, smiled slightly, and asked the store for a large stack of colorful colored papers. ...He took it for granted, and asked Brother Xin to help him tie up some lights when he went back at night.
Bits and pieces, by the time Yu Rong bought all the New Year's items on the list, most of the afternoon had already passed.
He originally planned to go to Nanchuanbeima for a stroll, but when he saw the scene full of people everywhere, he immediately canceled the plan.
It gets dark early in winter, so go home as soon as possible.
With a large cart of New Year’s goods and two people, one horse alone is definitely not enough. Yu Rong spent a lot of effort and spent double the rent to find a carriage that was willing to run Qinglian.
horseshoe
One rode a horse and the other rode back to the village.
"What are all the people doing over there?"
When I got home, I unloaded the New Year's goods.Yu Rong stood at the gate of the fence, looking at the big pond to the east, and found that the whole village seemed to be crowded there, and he was a little puzzled.
Brother Zhong replied: "I am fishing in the pond. Grandpa came over at noon and said that every family can share a few catties of fish."
Yu Rong was quite surprised, he really didn't expect the villagers of Qinglian to have such benefits.
It wasn't until he rushed to Datang that he realized that it wasn't exactly the same thing.
There are many ponds in this area, and many villages are like Qinglian. Every household pays a sum of money for fish at the beginning of the year. All the fish are divided equally among the households according to the number of people.
Yu Rong has only been settled in Qinglian for a few months, and he has not paid any fish money, so he has no share in sharing the fish this time.
However, he pays attention to flexibility in everything. Although he can't get free fish, he can spend twice as much as the market price to buy extra fish.
Thinking of the greedy cats at home, Yu Rong didn't hesitate at all, and bought [-] catties of big fish in one go - mostly silver carp, some crucian carp, and a few grass carp.
By the pond, there is a pile of hairy fish and so on. This kind of fish is too small and has many spines. It is not very popular for the villagers who live by the water and do not have a lot of fish to eat.He rounded it generously, thinking about going back to deal with it, and drying it to make cat food.
The young doctor carrying a load of live fish hadn't even set foot on his own territory when a black, white, orange, and tricolor cat rushed forward.
The meowing sound is so soft and cute that it melts people's hearts.
Yu Rong couldn't laugh or cry: The promised ones are noble and glamorous, and they don't care about answers. These few are too realistic!
Astringe sores and sterilize, detoxify and reduce inflammation, stop bleeding and relieve pain, promote muscle growth and dissipate rot, it is mainly suitable for wounds, ulcers and sores, etc. It has mild medicinal properties, lubricates and moisturizes, and has the effect of curing carbuncles and ulcers... Yu's moisturizing oil Cream, worth having!
After selling and boasting, the young doctor said with a smile: "Brother Xin, would you like some? This ointment not only treats hemorrhoids, but also can be used for skin care. If you wipe your hands with it, it will definitely prevent frostbite and cracking..."
Before he finished speaking, Nie Xinzhi reached out and took the medicine jar.
Yu Rong opened his mouth slightly, and after a while, he suddenly realized that he was embarrassed in an instant.

Staring at those staring peach blossom eyes, Nie Xinzhi said softly, "Thank you."
After a moment of silence, Yu Rong replied without temper: "You're welcome."
Brother Xin is too serious, and the jokes are too boring.
Eh... wait!
"Brother Xin, don't really take it away," Yu Rong said hastily, "This ointment is urgently needed by a patient, so I'll make a separate bottle for you later." After thinking about it, he changed his words, "Forget it, this can Don’t take the ointment from the old one, it’s too rough...I’ll change the recipe later, and add pearl powder or something to make a better ointment.” Not to mention the improvement in curative effect, the medicine’s properties are softer, which greatly reduces the effect on the human body. side effects.

It is similar to lubricating ointment in terms of efficacy, but Shengji ointment has strong medicinal properties, so it is definitely not suitable for skin care.
Nie Xinzhi took the medicine bottle containing Shengji Ointment and thanked him again.

"No problem." Nie Xinzhi said calmly, "Nie Xuan ran away from home."
Yu Rong was speechless for a moment, and after a moment, he laughed: "Aren't your brothers staying at home all day?"
Nie Xinzhi didn't reply, and watched the young doctor's smile with calm eyes.
"Second Young Master's body..." Yu Rong paused slightly, "Is it okay to be alone?"
"There are guards following." The man answered every question.

Nie Xuan is very likely to be born with a deficiency, and taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan may improve his poor health.
Nie Xinzhi accepted the young doctor's kindness.
"Let's go," Yu Rong pulled the man's arm unconsciously, "I'll make the bed for you..." He laughed, "The guest room in my house is all yours."
"Wait a moment." Nie Xinzhi suddenly said.
Yu Rong was silent.The rhythm is so familiar, do you want to show him some presents again?
then……
Sure enough, another gift.
Yu Rong was speechless.Can't think of a husband like Xin's brother Ang Zang, how can he be so enthusiastic about giving gifts?

Seeing the crowded crowd, Yu Rong couldn't help feeling a bit of retreat—completely miscalculated the situation—and thought that the closer the New Year was, the more people would buy New Year's goods, so he could only bite the bullet and squeeze into the crowd!
When it comes to New Years, the first thing that comes to mind is new clothes.
However, Yu Rong bought a lot of cloth before, and the previous tailor made all new clothes, so there is no need to spend this money.
The second is the peach charm.
In the past few years, spring stickers have gradually become popular, and he can write them himself, so he didn't plan to buy them.
Standing in front of the grocery store, Yu Rong picked up a piece of mahogany and asked the man beside him: "Brother Xin, what do you think if I buy this?"
The human figure carved on the peach talisman, with beard and eyes open, raised a knife and held a halberd, in the posture of subjugating demons... Although the name of the person is not engraved, everyone knows who it refers to.
Nie Xinzhi lowered her eyebrows: "It's up to you."
The reaction is too calm, boring!
Thinking of this, Yu Rong pointed to the stall with a smile, and said to the vendor, "Please take the few pieces from the store."
The shopkeeper smiled all over his face: "Young master, why don't you come up with some heavenly stickers? Put them on the door lintel to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth."
Hearing this, Yu Rong became interested: "Why don't you show it?"
The store is very good at doing business, peach charms and door gods, Tianxing stickers for fortune, reeds and golden colors, strands of flowers and banners... Different materials, different styles, and different prices, take them out one by one, and it’s good to be eloquent. After some sales promotion, there was no repetition of auspicious words, which made people feel very refreshed.
Yu Rong felt very fresh, thinking of the modern Chinese New Year, which completely lost the taste of the New Year, and found it more interesting in comparison.
For the Chinese New Year, it is appropriate to wear red and hanging colors, which is full of fun and joy.Thinking about it, he didn't hesitate to pick a few pieces of each and buy them, and decorate them inside and out at home, adding to the excitement.
"Brother Xin," Yu Rong picked out a bunch of flowers and joked with a smile, "Why don't you put one on your head? The shopkeeper said that if you wear this during Chinese New Year, you will have good luck in the next year."
Nie Xinzhi didn't make a sound, and without any hesitation, he took the pink silk flower from the young doctor's hand.
Yu Rong opened his eyes slightly.
The man didn't put the wisp of flowers on his head, but inserted them obliquely in the young doctor's bun.
"……Hey!"
Yu Rong was embarrassed, raised her hand in haste, touched the silk flower on her hair and tugged it, trying to pick it off, but she didn't know how ingenious the person beside her was, if she didn't pull it hard, she wouldn't be able to pull it... and she didn't dare to use too much force , afraid of accidentally loosening the hair towel.
The young doctor looked at the man begging for help.
Nie Xinzhi looked at it quietly for a while, then commented: "It's very beautiful."
Yu Rong is embarrassing.
Just imagine, a big man wearing a big pink flower on his head looks like a fool from the next door, so stupid... I can't bear to look directly at him.
The streets are full of people.
Yu Rong was very embarrassed, and couldn't help calling softly: "Brother Xin..." Inadvertently, his eyes revealed a look of flattery.
The four eyes are facing each other.In the end, Nie Xinzhi didn't make things difficult for him, and helped pick the flowers.
Yu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and cleared his throat: "Let's change to another place."
Walking along the street, keep your eyes on any shop beside the aisle.
It is said that from the first day to the eighth day, all shops will not be open.Years ago, Yu Rong didn't plan to make another trip, so he planned to buy all the things he needed in one go.
Just looking at the list, it seems that there are not many, but it is really cumbersome to actually buy.
Firecrackers are indispensable.
There are also fireworks. Minchao's fireworks manufacturing technology has made great progress. Buy a few to add excitement to the festival.
Places that sell fireworks and firecrackers also sell gold and silver paper, which are burned on New Year's Eve when visiting the ancestors and praying to the gods, so you must buy a whole stack.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Rong saw the beautiful Chinese knot, which made Yu Rong feel kind and happy. He asked the shopkeeper and found out that it was originally called "Baishiji".
Baishiji means auspiciousness, and it looks good to decorate. Of course, you have to buy three, five or seven, and hang it between the verandahs when you go home.
There is a semi-colon of Kuang Wanchun Hall across the street.
Thinking of the empty Chinese medicine cabinet in the medicine room, Yu Rong decisively decided to add some medicinal materials.
On the occasion of the new year, even the business of the pharmacy is unusually hot.
Different from modern times, this era must have "cured medicine" for Chinese New Year - "Tusu wine" in the so-called "spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu" is a kind of preserved medicine.
Yu Rong is a doctor himself, there is no need to come to the pharmacy to buy wax medicine.In fact, as early as the day of Laba, he went to the village to do as the Romans did, prepared two jars of Tusu wine, and stored wax medicine in crimson pouches, and distributed them to several members of the family, including some close neighbors such as the old village head.
In a hurry today, Yu Rong didn't linger in the pharmacy for too long, so he chose some medicinal materials that he might use recently and didn't have much reserves.
Oiled paper wrapped dozens of big bags and left the shop contentedly.
Turn around and go to the liquor store.
Yu Rong doesn't drink alcohol, but he often needs alcohol in medicine, so he tries to store some as much as possible. Anyway, the cellar at home is very big, so there is no fear of running out of space.
After leaving the hotel, turn a corner, and the whole street is almost full of food.
Yu Rong didn't plan to buy the fish, meat and vegetables needed for the Chinese New Year today.
Not to mention that there are still a few days before New Year's Eve, and it is not fresh if you buy it early. In fact, there is no need to buy it at the market.
Two days later, many families in the village want to kill pigs one after another, and they don't worry about not being able to buy fresh meat.
As for the fish, I heard the old man say something before, but I don't know the specifics. I just said that there is no need to buy fish specially for the Chinese New Year, and there will definitely be some to eat.
The vegetables are grown at home. If there is not enough to eat, you can go to other farmers in the village to buy some.
Even so, Yu Rong still walked this street carefully.There is no need for fresh ones, but there are not too few dried vegetables. Although the homemade bacon, sausages and so on, there are some in the market that he does not have at home, and he particularly likes them.
For example, the vegetarian dish has magnolia slices, which are dried bamboo shoots.
Yulan slices are fried together with meat, Yu Rong thinks, it tastes better than fresh bamboo shoots.It is quite troublesome to make this stuff at home, not to mention that there is no bamboo forest near the place where I live... Even if the magnolia slices are sold as expensive as mutton, it is still acceptable.
In addition to magnolia slices, there are also wild bracken.
Bracken is common, and he couldn't stand it when he first arrived, and there was no place to pick it in winter, so he bought it by a catty, so that he could change the taste occasionally.
The meat is ham, which is said to be transported from the state capital east of Cangping, and is very popular in Yanzhou.Yu Rong had never eaten ham from this era, so he was a little curious, so he asked the shopkeeper to cut two catties.
After buying the dried vegetables, I diverted to the food store.
There are seven things for every family to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, all have to be supplemented.In addition, Yu Rong himself has five mouths at home, as well as cats and dogs. It is very necessary to buy more, otherwise, if you accidentally finish eating, you will have no way to buy before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Then I bought dozens of eggs, purely in accordance with the tradition of my hometown. Tea eggs must be eaten on the first day of the new year.
Condiments are indispensable, and to Yu Rong, these spices are used for both medicine and food... quite useless.
In addition to the staple food and big dishes, snacks are the most indispensable during the Chinese New Year.Not to mention that the rice candy may not be ready in time to be ready before the year, even if it is ready, Yu Rong will still buy different pastries and candies, including nuts, preserved fruits, etc.Things are put away this season, so you don’t have to worry about storage if you buy too much.
"...Is there anything else missing?"
Looking at the cart that was accidentally full again, Yu Rong couldn't help asking Nie Xinzhi—after all, it was the first time for him to independently purchase New Year's goods, and he knew only a little about the New Year's customs of the Min Dynasty, and he was afraid that there might be some omissions .
Nie Xinzhi really gave additional comments: "Almanac, candles, and gifts for the new year."
Hearing this, Yu Rong was thoughtful.
Of course he knew about almanacs and candles.Needless to say, candles are used to keep the year old; almanacs are even more important, important reference books for agricultural reference... It is not like modern times, everyone has a mobile phone, and knows which day is which day, and what solar terms it is.
but……
"What is the gift for the new year?" The young doctor felt ashamed of his shallow knowledge.
Nie Xinzhi replied: "It's used as a gift for the New Year."
Yu Rong suddenly realized: "Is it a gift box?"
Nie Xinzhi nodded slightly in affirmation.
The two found a lacquerware seller.
All kinds of red lacquered wood utensils are beautiful and high-grade. Yu Rong saw them and felt that he liked them very much. He chose more than a dozen large and small boxes...and saw ones specially made for wine, which were made like a small eaves It looks like a building, and the store calls it "wine eaves". It is exquisite and unique, and it can be used as a decoration alone, so I bought several.
Instead, he went to the bookstore, and not only bought two new calendars, Yu Rong also picked out a few "idle books" for occasional entertainment.
By the way, I bought paper and ink.
At the place where candles were sold, he saw many exquisite colored paper lanterns. After inquiring about the prices, he felt that they were a bit expensive, so he changed his mind, glanced at the man beside him, smiled slightly, and asked the store for a large stack of colorful colored papers. ...He took it for granted, and asked Brother Xin to help him tie up some lights when he went back at night.
Bits and pieces, by the time Yu Rong bought all the New Year's items on the list, most of the afternoon had already passed.
He originally planned to go to Nanchuanbeima for a stroll, but when he saw the scene full of people everywhere, he immediately canceled the plan.
It gets dark early in winter, so go home as soon as possible.
With a large cart of New Year’s goods and two people, one horse alone is definitely not enough. Yu Rong spent a lot of effort and spent double the rent to find a carriage that was willing to run Qinglian.
horseshoe
One rode a horse and the other rode back to the village.
"What are all the people doing over there?"
When I got home, I unloaded the New Year's goods.Yu Rong stood at the gate of the fence, looking at the big pond to the east, and found that the whole village seemed to be crowded there, and he was a little puzzled.
Brother Zhong replied: "I am fishing in the pond. Grandpa came over at noon and said that every family can share a few catties of fish."
Yu Rong was quite surprised, he really didn't expect the villagers of Qinglian to have such benefits.
It wasn't until he rushed to Datang that he realized that it wasn't exactly the same thing.
There are many ponds in this area, and many villages are like Qinglian. Every household pays a sum of money for fish at the beginning of the year. All the fish are divided equally among the households according to the number of people.
Yu Rong has only been settled in Qinglian for a few months, and he has not paid any fish money, so he has no share in sharing the fish this time.
However, he pays attention to flexibility in everything. Although he can't get free fish, he can spend twice as much as the market price to buy extra fish.
Thinking of the greedy cats at home, Yu Rong didn't hesitate at all, and bought [-] catties of big fish in one go - mostly silver carp, some crucian carp, and a few grass carp.
By the pond, there is a pile of hairy fish and so on. This kind of fish is too small and has many spines. It is not very popular for the villagers who live by the water and do not have a lot of fish to eat.He rounded it generously, thinking about going back to deal with it, and drying it to make cat food.
The young doctor carrying a load of live fish hadn't even set foot on his own territory when a black, white, orange, and tricolor cat rushed forward.
The meowing sound is so soft and cute that it melts people's hearts.
Yu Rong couldn't laugh or cry: The promised ones are noble and glamorous, and they don't care about answers. These few are too realistic!
