[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

Mammy Li was hesitating, the Empress Dowager beckoned Geng Yi to come over and take a closer look.

After all, when seeing a doctor, you can only see the whole thing from such a distance, so Geng Yi has to be closer to see more clearly.

Only then did Geng Yi step forward from Shan Ruliu, and asked the Empress Dowager to stick out her tongue, and it turned out that her tongue was extremely red.

She took the pulse carefully again, and could see that the empress dowager's body was in good condition, the pulse condition was a little weak but not serious, and she knew it in her heart: "Don't worry, empress dowager, this is just a strong liver yang, and it is not serious for the time being."

The implication is that this is only an early sign of high blood pressure, and it is indeed not serious, but if it is delayed for a long time, it will be troublesome.

It is not uncommon to have high blood pressure when you get older. Coupled with the pampered status of the empress dowager, it is natural that the food and clothing are the best on weekdays.

Not only are the ingredients fine, but they are also carefully cooked. Big fish and big meat are indispensable. Can you not have high blood pressure?

Seeing that hyperlipidemia is not serious now, the empress dowager is quite rare at this age.

As long as you pay attention to it on weekdays, eat less big fish and meat, eat more food that nourishes yin and reduces fire, and add some coarse grains to the ingredients, your blood pressure will gradually come down, and those symptoms will naturally disappear.

Geng Yi explained everything he knew in detail, and said: "If it is possible, the Empress Dowager will drink tea made of mulberry, chrysanthemum and silver flower, and stew soup with Gastrodia elata are excellent."

Sangju Yinhua and Gastrodia elata are used to lower blood pressure. There is no need to rush to take medicine for mild hypertension like the empress dowager. Drinking some tea and eating some medicinal food on weekdays can improve it.After all, medicine is three-point poisonous, and taking medicine is not as good as taking medicated diet.

Mammy Li wrote it down carefully at the side, and she will let the imperial doctor take a look at it later, if there is no problem, she will use it for the empress dowager according to this.

The empress dowager said with a smile: "I met Geng Gege right this time. If we hadn't met, I would not have known that this problem on my body was not due to Dilonghe's old age."

Fujin laughed and said: "The Empress Dowager is young, and her body is very strong. She has always been prosperous and blessed, and she must recover soon."

She listened to what Geng Yi meant, that the empress dowager had a small problem, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The empress dowager is a woman, although she knows her age, Fujin still chooses good things to say, but who doesn't like to hear good things?

She smiled and said: "You are all good children, wait for me to recover later, and then invite you to come in and enjoy the flowers and drink tea together."

Fujin replied with a smile: "Then I will wait for the cup of hot tea from the Empress Dowager."

This means that the empress dowager will recover soon, the empress dowager couldn't help but smile when she heard that, she asked Nanny Li to send the two of them out, and also rewarded them with two boxes of jewelry and a blood swallow.

With the rewards, Fujin and Geng Yi finally got out of the palace and got into the carriage.

Both looked at each other with a sigh of relief, seeing the emperor, Concubine De and Empress Dowager down the road, even Fujin felt quite stressed.

Not to mention that it was Geng Yi's last visit, and Fujin's heart that had been on his mind was finally relieved at this moment.

She put her arms around the drowsy Hong Hui, and whispered, "I just hope that the Empress Dowager will recover as soon as possible."

I believe that what the two said on the empress dowager's side, even if it was later, would still reach the emperor's ears.

For the sake of the empress dowager's health, the emperor would never delay the matter of inviting an imperial doctor until tomorrow, even if it was a New Year's Eve.

Geng Yi smiled and nodded at Fujin: "That is, the Empress Dowager will definitely recover soon."

It's just a mild high blood pressure. If you pay attention to your diet a little bit, the uncomfortable parts of your body are gone, and you can sleep soundly.

As long as a person sleeps well, those minor problems will naturally disappear.

Seeing Geng Yi's determined expression, he was obviously sure, so Fujin held back, and the two of them returned to Baylor's Mansion quietly along the way. Fujin gets off the car.

Geng Yi jumped out of the carriage by himself, and Song Gege, Li Gege, and Niu Gulu Gege were already greeting him outside.

It was freezing cold outside, Fujin didn't greet them much, and went to the flower hall after greeting everyone.

The earth dragon in the flower hall was completely burned, and Geng Yi felt his hands and feet warm up as soon as he entered.

Rusui took the cloak that Geng Yi took off, stuffed a burnt hand stove over again, and hugged her in her arms to keep warm.

Niu Gulu watched Geng Yi busy for a while before coming in, and asked in a low voice next to the person: "Sister Geng, is the palace banquet lively?"

Geng Yi nodded and replied, "It's lively, it's very lively."

Giving a gift is like watching a play, meeting and fighting a battle with Concubine De, let alone meeting the Empress Dowager later.

The ups and downs of the night are like riding a roller coaster, Geng Yi feels that this palace banquet tonight is not a waste of time, so it shouldn't be too exciting!

Knowing the rules, Niu Gulu didn't ask much about the palace banquet, and just sat next to Geng Yi.

Geng Yi asked, "What's for dinner tonight?"

Niu Gulu shook his head and said, "I don't know either, the banquet will start when the master comes back."

Geng Yi and the others actually didn’t eat anything in the palace. Even in the palace, it was cold when the food was delivered to the kitchen. The princes came forward one by one to congratulate the New Year and give gifts. After returning from a circle, everyone started toasting and chatting. eat.

However, participating in palace banquets is originally a place for socializing, and most of them eat wine, and there are not many people who eat seriously.

Even the fourth elder brother ate a few pieces of snacks to fill his stomach before going out, and he didn't plan to sit down and eat a lot of food in peace at the palace banquet.

Most of the food was delivered just as it was, and was sent back intact without eating a few bites.

Because Geng Yi didn't dare to move around, he didn't dare to touch the food when it was cold, so as not to spoil his stomach if he ate it. Now he was so hungry that his stomach growled a little.

I thought the fourth elder brother would come back soon, who knew that they waited and waited but no one was seen, Fujin was also puzzled, and asked Jixiang to go to the gate to see, if it was impossible to go to the palace gate and wait.

Ji Xiang didn't wait at the gate, and was about to harness his horse to the palace gate, when he saw the fourth elder brother come back on horseback, and hurried in to report: "Fu Jin, Lord Belle is back."

Fujin hurriedly took a few grids to meet him, Honghui stayed in the house because he was afraid of freezing.

Before she could put on her cloak and go out, the fourth elder brother had strode in, waved his hands and said, "It's cold outside, so you don't have to come out."

He took off the cloak, and there were a lot of snowflakes on it, and even the clothes underneath were stained, and a large area was wet.

Fujin said: "Master, go in and get changed first, and then let the kitchen prepare the dishes."

The fourth elder brother nodded and asked, "What are you preparing in the kitchen tonight?"

Fujin knew what he was going to ask, so he smiled and said: "We came back a bit late, the kitchen should be prepared according to the usual rules, and there is no time for Geng Gege to order."

The fourth elder brother frowned, looked around and knew it was not a place to talk, so he nodded and said: "Forget it, let's make do with dinner tonight."

When he was about to go in, he clicked on Geng Yi and said, "You come in together."

Geng Yi also wanted to steal some snacks on the table to pad her stomach, but she was called by the fourth elder brother, so she had no choice but to let go of her regretfully, got up and followed.

The fourth elder brother saw that she was so hungry that she looked at Xiao DianXian with greedy eyes, so he said angrily: "What did you do in the palace, and you didn't take it seriously? You still have the heart to eat dim sum at the moment, this is big enough. "

He nodded Geng Yi's forehead, and Geng Yi said with a blank face: "What did the concubine do in the palace? Ah, the master already knows about the empress dowager?"

Apart from this, Geng Yi really couldn't think of anything else.

The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "That's it, you dare to open your mouth to the imperial grandmother. If you talk nonsense and watch your skin carefully, the Lord will not be able to keep you."

Geng Yi blinked, took his arm and said, "So the master said, the concubine has passed the test?"

If something really happened, the fourth elder brother would just teach her a few words. Maybe the palace has already sent someone to invite her back by now.

The fourth elder brother would not show such a relaxed expression, he must have a serious face, and the words of reprimand were full of words, at least half an hour would be enough!

Hearing this, the fourth elder brother said helplessly: "You are lucky this time, and it may not be the next time. Huang Ama found out about this later, and hurriedly invited the head of the hospital to check the pulse of the emperor's grandmother. It was because it was about to celebrate the New Year, and it was a good day The emperor's grandmother only had a slight discomfort, so she kept it hidden from others, so naturally she didn't invite the imperial physician."

Fortunately, the head of the hospital told Geng Yi about the same after taking the pulse. The empress dowager's symptoms were just a little bit, but they were mild enough, and nothing serious happened.

Otherwise, Geng Yi will forget it, and the Tai Hospital will die.

Because of this, the emperor was still the boss, feeling that the imperial physician had neglected his duty.

If it hadn't been for Geng Yi to see that the empress dowager felt troubled after the Chinese New Year, wouldn't it be possible to invite the imperial doctor to take the pulse after the seal of the pen was over?

If it drags on for half a month, who knows what will happen?

Although the emperor who celebrated the Chinese New Year didn't lose his temper, he kept a calm face and made a note of the head of the court in his heart.

It was the empress dowager who pleaded. After all, she only thought it was a minor problem and didn't want to disturb the emperor during the Chinese New Year. If Geng Yi hadn't brought it up, she really thought it was only natural that she felt uncomfortable in winter because of her age.

She really didn't want to call the imperial doctor because she didn't want to disappoint the New Year, but she couldn't ask the emperor to wish them.

The empress dowager pleaded for mercy, and the emperor could only let the matter go lightly, and simply fined the head of the hospital half a year's salary, and ordered him to come to the empress dowager every morning and evening to ask for pulse, and this matter was over.

Geng Yi clicked his tongue when he heard it, and asked in a low voice: "Master, did my concubine cause you any trouble?"

The fourth elder brother suddenly reached out and touched her cheek, and said with a smile: "You didn't cause trouble, and you have done a good job."

He sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's grandmother has always been very kind to me. If you hadn't seen it and were willing to tell me, I'm really afraid that something might happen if it drags on for a long time."

If something really happened to the empress dowager, the fourth elder brother would be very sad.After all, he was not close to his biological mother when he was a child, and the imperial concubine was sick. She often had to take medicine to rest, and she didn't meet him many times.

The emperor cared about the prince most of the time, so he didn't pay much attention to the other sons, and only asked about homework when they met occasionally. It can be said that the warmth of all the elders in childhood was given by the empress dowager to the fourth elder brother.

Fortunately, Geng Yi was there, so the empress dowager was safe from danger.

The fourth elder brother suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Geng Yi in his arms, and patted her on the back lightly: "It's really good, really."

Geng Yi saw that the fourth elder brother was worried about the empress dowager, so he reached out and patted him on the back: "Don't worry, the empress dowager is really fine, it's just a little problem, just take care of it a little bit and it will be fine."

The fourth elder brother gave a soft "hmm", then let go of her and said, "Come on, change your body for the master."

Geng Yi had no choice but to reach out to unbutton him, and then help him change into a normal suit.

The fourth elder brother just finished changing here, and Su Peisheng knocked on the door outside and whispered: "Master Belle, someone is coming from the palace."

He was startled, glanced at Geng Yi and said: "It should be for you, let's go out together."

Geng Yi was taken aback, and went out with the fourth elder brother, and saw a tall and thin eunuch holding a list, followed by several eunuchs, and said with a smile: "I have seen the fourth elder brother, I have seen Geng Gege, this is from the emperor to Geng Gege. reward."

The ones sent before are not counted. This time, a carload of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, and several priceless calligraphy and paintings were sent. It was because the emperor heard that Geng Yi could draw, and he could draw well. For foreign paintings, there are both landscape paintings and famous Western paintings.

These stuffed enough to fill a cart, and there were also a lot of nourishing medicinal materials, which was half a cart, which showed the emperor's joy. Geng Yi's warehouse could not fit such a large sum of money.

The fourth elder brother took Geng Yi to thank him, and after receiving the order, he asked Su Peisheng to send the eunuch who brought the reward out. Su Peisheng also stuffed a purse over there: "It's winter, it's freezing cold, and I have to be with you."

Eunuch Gao smiled and said: "It's a good job. I don't know how many people around me are overwhelmed. If I get it, I can be regarded as very happy."

This is a beautiful statement, and it is also because the eunuch Gao knew that Geng Yi got the reward this time because of the empress dowager and the emperor's heart, so he rewarded a lot of things.

He said cryptically again: "Your family, Geng Gege, has a future blessing. I really envy you, brother."

Su Peisheng smiled and clapped his hands, and personally sent Eunuch Gao into the carriage, watched him leave before returning, and whispered what he had just said to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother said that he knew, seeing Geng Yi staring at the list, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Why, now you are not hungry after looking at the rewards?"

Geng Yi came back to his senses and nodded again and again: "Hungry, I just saw the reward because I was too happy and didn't feel it. I'm really hungry now."

Almost too hungry, she touched her stomach with a pitiful face.

The fourth elder brother laughed: "Then let the kitchen serve food, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

Su Peisheng really didn't know, but luckily Ji Xiang, who ran the errands, came over quickly and replied, "Go back to Lord Baylor, there is a hot pot prepared in the kitchen, thinking it's getting cold, and I don't know when the masters will come back, this pot is the best It is convenient, and you can feel warm all over after eating it.”

The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, this idea is very good."

As long as the ingredients are washed and cut well, there is no need to worry about the dishes being cooked too early. The masters have not come back yet. Should the dishes be reheated or re-made?

If the dishes are cooked late, do you make the masters wait hungry?

There is no such problem when eating a pot. The hot pot is always burning on the stove.

Because the masters have different preferences, two pots are also prepared, one is spicy with cornel, and the other is chicken soup without cornel, which is full of umami.

This allows those who eat spicy food to eat a pot, and those who don't eat spicy food can also eat a pot, without worrying about not meeting the taste of any master.

The two pots were brought up, and Geng Yi saw it and said, "If you want to make a mandarin duck pot in the future, you don't need to use two pots."

Chef Liu who came over hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask Geng Gege, what is this mandarin duck pot?"

Geng Yi made a gesture and said: "There is a side of the pot in the middle, and the two sides are separated, so that you can have different tastes. If you want spicy food, you can go to the left, and if you want non-spicy food, you can go to the right. It doesn't need to take up so much space. "

Chef Liu understood half of what he heard, but Chef Ma on the other side understood it, clapped his hands and said: "Geng Gege, this is really a good idea, I will make such a mandarin duck pot in the kitchen later, and it will be used next time."

Geng Yi was still worried that they would not be able to understand, and needed to draw one with a pen and paper. Now that it is clear, it will save her trouble: "Then I will have two companions, and I can give them away later. .”

She was thinking about whether to give one to the Geng family. It would be perfect for the family to sit together and eat mandarin duck hot pot during the Chinese New Year.

And Geng Yi remembered that Amma in the original body ate spicy food, but Er Niang didn't, and there were not many people in the family, so it was not appropriate to divide them into two pots, they had to take turns.

Ama enjoyed eating spicy food, but Erniang couldn't eat it.

When it's not spicy, Ama eats it again, and Erniang enjoys it.

After Geng Yi whispered to the fourth elder brother, he smiled and said: "Okay, you have made a contribution, and you don't want anything else, do you actually just want to send a mandarin duck pot to the Geng family?"

Why do you have to ask for something else, such as promoting Geng Yi's Ama to an official position or something?

Hearing this, Geng Yi said: "If Ama lives up to her spirit, she will be promoted sooner or later. If she does not live up to her spirit, my concubine will ask Lord Belle to help him to be promoted, and he will soon be dismissed because he can't do well. Why bother?" Although this pot looks small, it is very useful. When eating the pot in the future, Ama and Erniang will not fight."

The fourth elder brother heard it interestingly: "Will they really fight after eating a pot?"

Geng Yi laughed and said, "Of course it's not a real fight, it's just a little fun between husband and wife."

When eating spicy food, Ama poured tea and water for Er Niang.

When the food is not spicy, Er Niang prepares a spicy dipping plate for Ama.

When the two ate the pot, they were noisy, wasn't it also because of their relationship?

The fourth elder brother nodded slightly, and sat down with Geng Yi.

The two chefs and their apprentices filled the table with side dishes and couldn't fit them, so they made two small tables to put them on.

Geng Yi suggested: "Turn back to the kitchen and make a cart by the way. There are upper and lower floors, and a wheel is installed underneath, so you can push it away."

However, there is a threshold here, and people have to carry it in when entering, which is actually not particularly convenient.

It's just that if there are two floors, there is no place to put the side dishes, and you have to find another coffee table.

Chef Liu nodded and made a note, anyway, he had to make mandarin duck pot, and it would be good to make a cart, even if he just pushed it from the kitchen, it would save trouble, and he could deliver a lot at one time, without having to run several times, and he couldn't take much at one time .

Geng Yi first made a dipping dish, with sesame sauce in it, and a sauce made by Chef Ma. She tasted it more like sweet and spicy sauce, sweet, with a little bit of spiciness, and the taste was just right.

Niu Colu Gege followed Geng Yi's example and made a dipping dish, then brushed the mutton in a non-spicy pot, dipped it in the sauce and tasted it, full of praise: "Sweet and spicy are so delicious, Sister Geng, do you want meat or vegetables?"

Geng Yi smiled and said, "I'll do it myself, sister Geng will eat more."

The meat is extremely fresh, and there is no need to brush it in a hot pan for a long time, lest the meat will not taste good when it is old.

As long as you brush it a little, you can pick it up when the color changes. The meat is fresh and tender, and you can break it with a sip. It is as delicious as the finishing touch when dipped in sweet and spicy sauce.

Everyone was hungry at the moment, even the fourth elder brother was no exception. They all buried their heads in eating hard, and the meat slices were washed quickly, and soon the plates were empty. Chef Ma hurriedly asked the apprentice to bring fresh slices.

After sending them back and forth twice, everyone's stomachs were half full, and the meat didn't go down so quickly, so they started to turn to vegetables.

Nowadays, there are not many vegetables, only cabbage tofu, and green leafy vegetables are missing.

Although there are vegetable sheds, they are built on the ground dragons. There are not so many, and there is no promotion. Naturally, the production is less, and most of them are supplied to the palace first, and then go outside the palace.

There is not enough food in the palace, how can there be food outside the palace?

Geng Yi calculated the current cost of the vegetable shed in his mind. Her little savings can be spent completely. It seems that she has to work hard to earn money!

Otherwise, if you want to be free of vegetables in the future, how can you do it without some money!

If she can make the vegetable shed bigger and sell it to the nobles in the capital at a high price, she will really make a lot of money!

Geng Yi lowered his head and smiled, and let her have a dream first when it's Chinese New Year!

Seeing her smiling, the fourth elder brother laughed and said, "So happy, what are you thinking?"

Geng Yi said honestly: "I think that if I want to have money and land in the future, I will build a vegetable shed, grow a lot of vegetables, and send them back, so that I can eat better in winter."

Hearing this, the fourth elder brother laughed and said: "You know how to eat, but this kind of vegetable shed is not easy to make, and it costs a lot. If you spend all the reward money, you may not be able to grow anything."

The weather here is too cold, the vegetable shed is not very warm even on the ground dragon, and the sunlight may not be enough. The vegetables that can be grown are still limited, and not all of them may be viable.

In addition, there are stone caves that are not located in Dilong, but connected to the kitchen fire. It is warm inside, but there is no sunlight, and many vegetables cannot be grown.

In the end, it is best to grow cabbage and leeks. Cabbage is frost-resistant, and leeks can grow in the vegetable shed without sunlight. As long as it is warmer, it will skyrocket.

Fujin said: "Eggplants are also fine, as well as cucumbers and bean pods, but they don't grow too big. Those that don't look good can't be sent out, and the ones that don't look good can't be much together."

How dare you send the unattractive ones to the nobles in the palace, do you want to kill yourself?

The rest were picked and picked, and the good-looking and plump ones were sent to the palace in two baskets, so don't even think about having them outside.

Song Gege said: "When I was young, there were bean sprouts at home. Once the bean sprouts are sprouted, they will grow in places that are not exposed to light."

Geng Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, bean sprouts are fine. Let the kitchen distribute some later. Putting some in the pot can relieve the greasy. It is also a dish to stir-fry on weekdays."

Otherwise, she only eats meat and no vegetables in the winter, and she is really worried that everyone here will have a difficult time when they come out.

Seeing Geng Yi's earnest plan, the fourth elder brother couldn't help laughing: "You not only eat, but also want to grow."

Geng Yi laughed and said, "It's just that there are too few vegetables that can be eaten in winter, and the ground dragon is always very dry after burning all day, and eating only meat dishes is easy to get angry."

Worried that they have no idea about getting angry, she described it: "For example, dry mouth, always want to drink water, dry throat and uncomfortable, and occasionally may have a headache."

Constipation is very indecent, so I don't talk about it when I eat.

Li Gege next to him nodded repeatedly and said: "No wonder, my throat is not very comfortable in winter, even after drinking honey water, I can barely feel better."

Geng Yi said again: "In addition to these internal discomforts, the skin may also be dry and peeling, and it may not feel smooth at all."

Li Gege touched his arm, feeling a little sad, how ugly it would be to lose his skin!

She quickly asked: "Sister Geng, what can I do? Besides eating vegetables, how can I maintain my skin?"

You can't wait until the skin is dry and peeled off to remedy it, isn't it too late?

One day when I was in bed, the fourth elder brother felt his skin was astringent, and his hands were still prickly. How could he have the intention to continue?

Geng Yi smiled and said: "I still remember a prescription of Yurong ointment. After rubbing it, it can't make the skin not so dry, but also very smooth and delicate. It's enough to rub it on the whole body after bathing. There are some moisturizing medicinal materials in it, and It's not hard to do."

Not to mention Li Gege, even Fujin looked over, only the word "want" was written in his eyes.

Which woman does not love beauty, the skin is dry in winter, they use balm to rub it on, and they have to rub it several times a day.

Now, according to Geng Yi, as long as you wipe it once a day, not only will your skin get better and better, how can you not be tempted?

Fujin smiled and said: "If you need anything, just ask Nanny Liao to see if there are enough things in the warehouse. If there is not enough, you can buy them outside the house."

After Geng Yi smiled and thanked, he said to the fourth elder brother: "This master can also use it."

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows: "Why do I, an old man, use such a fragrant thing? It is enough to wipe my face with some facial fat to prevent frostbite."

Because he rides a horse every day in winter, the cold wind outside cuts his face like a knife, and if he doesn't apply any facial fat, his cheeks are hot and painful when he comes back.

If it weren't for this, Brother Si wouldn't bother to rub this on his face.

Geng Yi smiled and explained: "You can make a non-scented Yurong ointment for you, which is much easier to use than face cream. After taking a bath in winter, you don't feel your skin is itchy, can't you resist scratching it?" ?”

The fourth elder brother thought for a while, and it was true. After taking a bath in winter, he felt his limbs were the most itchy, and scratched hard, and would leave red marks: "Why is this? It's too dry?"

Geng Yi nodded: "That's right. Don't look at it, it's just indecent. It doesn't matter if no one sees it under the clothes. The skin is very dry, and there will be a bloody hole, which hurts."

The fourth elder brother touched the itchy arm under the sleeve, and now he felt a little pain: "Then why don't you try?"

The others also stared at Geng Yi, as if they were also asking: When will she start doing it?

Geng Yi thought about the winter, although there was balm to rub on his body, it was still too greasy for the skin to absorb it, and it was still a bit sticky.

She can understand why the fourth elder brother doesn't like to use this. After wiping, his body smells delicious, and he walks like a moving aromatherapy. Who would be happy?

It's just that Geng Yi was so smoked when he walked by himself. After wiping his body, the sticky body was not easy to absorb. He wanted to make a new body lotion to replace it. Just at this time, Li Gege asked, The fourth elder brother and Fujin also agreed, as long as they start doing it.

She made a list of materials for Linglong, and took them to Nanny Liao to open a warehouse, and sent all the things she needed to her yard in a short while.

There are not many materials used, one is pastoral flowers, and dried flowers are fine, which can be crushed into powder.The second is honey, which is used to tone and soothe the skin.In addition to pearl powder, there is also snowy grass. This kind of grass grows especially on the mountainside in winter. You can pick a large piece of it once you pick it. Many farmers use it for fire. It is cheaper and easier to use than firewood, and it can also be burned. for a while.

These things are not uncommon and collect quickly.

Once he had something, Geng Yi started to make it.Ruyu helped to crush the velvet flowers, Rusui helped to pick the tenderest part of the Xuening grass, and Madam Hu helped to mix the honey into honey water, but it should not be too thin. The viscosity that can also be drawn is good.

Mix the velvet flower and snowy grass according to the proportion, then gradually add honey and pearl powder, and still stir slowly with low heat.

Hu Nanny originally wanted to rush to continue doing this job, but Geng Yi said: "I will do it first, Hu Nanny will watch it, and next time you can do it alone."

The implication is that Geng Yi did this once, and Hu Momo learned it, so she doesn't have to do it in the future.

Nanny Hu nodded repeatedly, remembering every step Geng Yi did with her heart.

How about the heat, how long to cook, remove from the heat after cooking until thick, put it aside and pour it into the jar to cool.

After it cools completely, the Yurong ointment in the jar will be completely solidified. With a touch of fingertips, dig out a little ointment and rub it on the body, it will be absorbed by the skin quickly, and it will be refreshing after absorption. Especially comfortable.

Madam Hu was wiped on her arm by Geng Yi, and she was surprised to see her smooth arm after wiping it off.

Not to mention the two maids, Ruyu and Rusui, who were delighted after wiping it off, said rather embarrassedly: "Gege, I dug out a piece of this jar of Yurong ointment, do you want to boil another pot and fill it up?"

Otherwise, if a corner is missing, how can I give it away?

Geng Yi understood the careful thought of the two at a glance, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I make this jar, and it's not particularly good, so I'll give it to you two."

Nanny Hu was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it, so Geng Yi said again: "Ruyu and Rusui live together, it's okay for them to share a can, but it's inappropriate for Nanny Hu to use it together. Run into their room, this new jar belongs to Hu Nanny."

For the first time, I made three jars. One jar was given to Ruyu and Rusui for trial use, the other jar was given to Nanny Hu, and the remaining jar belonged to Geng Yi himself.

The three of them were delighted to receive the presents, while Madam Hu was stared at enviously by the two servant girls, she was quite at a loss, her eyes were a little red: "Gege is so kind, this servant girl will be careful with this jar of Yurong ointment."

Geng Yi smiled and said: "I have to use this in winter, and it won't be long. It won't be used up this winter, and I won't be able to use it next year. Don't be careful with it, just give it to me. It's not troublesome to make, and it will be used up later. It’s nothing more than that. If you scratch and smear less, the effect will not be much, isn’t it a waste?”

It’s better to use it up as soon as it’s useless and let it expire. Isn’t she doing this to make people’s skin comfortable in winter?

Hu Momo just nodded, put the jar in her bosom, and started to help make the next pot.

She has great strength, Ruyu helped to light the fire, and Rusui continued to grind the powder.

The three of them worked together in division of labor and worked hard for half a day to cook several pots and divide them into ten jars.

Geng Yi stopped, and she added some sweet-scented osmanthus to the second pot, which smelled like sweet-scented osmanthus.

In the third pot, she asked Madam Hu to add plum blossoms, and in the fourth pot, there was no fragrance, which was specially made for Si Age.

Mother Hu asked: "Gege, is this fragrance too little?"

Geng Yi thinks that there are only a few people in the backyard with one pot and three pots. Fujin, Li Gege, Song Gege, and Niu Yulugege are four people. One pot for each person can last for a long time, and it is enough to distribute it to the personal maids and mothers around. used.

Naturally, Fujin should give the most, there are three cans, and the fourth elder brother has only one person, and there is no one around him who can reward him except Su Peisheng, Geng Yi still gave three cans without fragrance.

There are only three cans left, and one can for each of the three Gege is just right.

Fujin especially likes the scent of osmanthus, so he picked all the osmanthus away.

The rest is the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the three divisions are separated, and they are happy to use after going back to take a bath.

Li Gege touched his smooth skin with the fragrance of plum blossoms, and couldn't help feeling: "Sister Geng really knows everything, it's much easier to use than balm, and it won't be sticky."

Chunfang looked greedily at the side, and whispered: "It is true that you have to wait a while before putting on your clothes after applying the ointment, otherwise it will stick to your clothes. This will be much more refreshing."

Seeing that she liked it, Li Gege smiled and said, "I'll ask Sister Geng to make more, and it's okay to send them to those close to me."

On the other hand, Song Gege felt that his body was fragrant after using it, and he hesitated to simply apply it and then put it down.

Haiyan was especially honest after being beaten by Fujin before, and she served her more carefully than before. It was her idea to Song Gege before, and she would see more elder brothers when she went to Fujin every day to pay her respects. Now she dare not mention it casually. Suggestion, asked cautiously: "Does Ge Ge not like this? Or is it not easy to smear on the back, let the slaves come?"

Hearing this, Song Gege shook his head and said: "I just thought that Sister Geng gave me nourishing medicine and this Yurong ointment again, how should I return the gift. Besides, the smell is too fragrant, so it's not good when I worship the Buddha Use it."

She recites scriptures in front of the Buddha every day, just wanting to save her daughter, hoping that her daughter will be reborn into a good family in the future, and she dares not miss a day.

In the past, Song Gege wore plain clothes and ate plain clothes, so she felt comfortable after wearing this Yurong ointment, but the fragrance was not suitable for reciting scriptures in the incense sticks, so she felt a little worried.

Haiyan boldly suggested: "Why don't Ge Ge mention it to Geng Gege, maybe Geng Gege has a solution?"

Song Gege glanced at her and said: "That's what I mean too, but I can't just make a request with empty teeth, I want to return the gift more seriously."

It's just that I don't have many valuable things. Song Gege picked them up for a while, and I can't give away things from the imperial court. The brightly colored jewelry she brought when she first entered the house was put away, and she didn't wear it a few times, and it was well maintained. Many of them are still as clean as new.

There is a pair of gold inlaid jewelry hairpins that are most suitable. They are inlaid with sapphires and pearls. The beads are not too big and will not be too conspicuous, but they are also small and pleasant. Song Gege felt that Geng Yi would be very suitable to wear them, so he took them to find Geng Yi. Yi.

Geng Yi didn't expect Song Gege to come over as a guest so rarely, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Song Gege, sit down, Ruyu, come and make tea."

Song Gege smiled and said: "I have only used the tonic prescription given by Sister Geng twice, and I feel that my body has strength. When I sleep at night, my legs and feet are not so frighteningly cold, and I can gradually warm them up. Yurong ointment also It's especially good, but I'm not used to smelling the fragrance on my body when I worship the Buddha, so I came here to ask Sister Geng for help."

As soon as she delivered the gift, she looked over eagerly.

Looking at the pair of hairpins, Geng Yi couldn't help being surprised and said, "Sister Song, just let someone tell you, it's not difficult to change the fragrance."

Since it can be used by Song Gege when worshiping the Buddha, the Yurong Ointment can be made into agarwood and it will be good for meditation.

There is no need to use too much agarwood, just a little bit, and the faint smell is enough, especially when worshiping the Buddha.

It was just a change of scent, Geng Yi didn't want to accept Song Gege's pair of hairpins, it could be seen that the hairpins were well maintained, Song Gege should like it very much, she didn't want to steal others' favors.

Song Gege shook his head and refused: "Since my daughter passed away, I have never worn a brightly colored hairpin. Although I look young, my heart is already old. This hairpin is still dusty here, it is better to give it away. To sister Geng."

She put the hairpin on Geng Yi herself, and said with a slight smile, "When I saw this hairpin, I thought my sister must be suitable, and it really is."

This hairpin made Geng Yi's skin like snow, making it even more beautiful.

Seeing that Song Gege insisted, Geng Yi had no choice but to accept the hairpin, and promised to make the agarwood-flavored Yurong ointment as a gift as soon as possible.
