Chapter 139: Snow Mountain Black Wood

Xiao Chunzi took the bowl in Liu Ling'er's hand, laughing, how can you let a beautiful girl wash the dishes? Washing dishes is a man's job.

Liu Linger saw that everyone was busy working, and she also felt embarrassed, she didn't work here, just ate and drank, after all, it was an opportunity for everyone to be familiar enough, so it was more appropriate for her to help everyone do something.

"Is there anything I can do?" asked Liu Ling'er with a smile.

Originally, everyone had work in their hands, Ouyang was salivating and preparing some of his own special pickles, Xiao Chunzi really washed the rice bowls used by the guests, the big mouth Liu was brushing the big iron bucket for cooking soup in his shoes, and the little mule, he was cleaning up some ingredients, which ones could still be used, and the ministry was cleaning them up.

Everyone saw Liu Ling'er coming, stopped what they were doing, or slowed down the work in their hands, and then talked to Liu Ling'er.

First of all, Ouyang coveted Liu Ling'er's talk, and his smile was very kind, why did he treat Liu Ling'er like this, the child originated from his little granddaughter, and Liu Ling'er's appearance really looked more and more like his little granddaughter.

"No, no, you better go back and rest, the foot-washing water will be boiled soon, and it will be sent to you when the time comes." Ouyang salivated.

Liu Ling'er said, "I'll take the footwashing water myself, how embarrassing is it for you to take it?"

If she still has someone else bring her footwater, unless that person is disabled, or the person who brings the water is an extremely close person and the person who cares about her the most.

If Liu Ling'er was asked to choose that person, she would definitely choose Ma Wenbing without hesitation, but unfortunately Ma Wenbing is not here now, and it is really not necessary to say where he will be in the future.

As soon as Liu Ling'er's words fell, the little mule rushed to talk, "It's okay, you better go back and rest first, our footbath here is heavier, and you can't hold it." ”

"Don't look at me as a girl, but I can't even hold the footbath, that's too exaggerated, right?" Liu Ling'er smiled.

The little mule is not telling a lie, the footbath they use is really heavy, about thirty pounds in weight, it is made of special wood, and it is not something that Liu Ling'er can carry as a weak girl.

The little mule was afraid that Liu Ling'er would not believe his words, so he really rolled the footbath over, black wood, tied with a very thick iron hoop outside, and the iron hoop was at least five or six catties.

"Look, we use this, it's very heavy, we don't dare to fill it with water, then we can't move it at all, I don't believe you try this weight. The little mule said.

Liu Ling'er didn't believe it very much, because it didn't look very heavy from the outside, and she tried it with both hands, it was really what the little mule said, where is this footbath? Is it just a lump of black iron?

For Liu Ling'er, it was a lump of black iron, and Liu Ling'er couldn't play with it at all, so she had to give up.

Liu Ling'er didn't understand very much, why did she use such a heavy footbath? Looking at the black appearance of this footbath, it looked like it was full of dirt, and it looked like it was many years old.

"Why do you use such a heavy footbasin?" Liu Linger asked suspiciously, it was not impossible to buy a lighter footbasin outside, and the footbasin in front of him was too inconvenient to use.

This black footbasin really has a history, and this history is only known to Ouyang Zhai, because these black and bulky footbasins were brought by him.

Ouyang coveted and explained, "Ling'er, you don't know, don't underestimate these black foot basins, using them to wash your feet is very powerful for your body!"

Ouyang's coveted words made Liu Ling'er even more puzzled, isn't it all a footbasin? How can it still have a medicinal effect? It has to be added to the footwashing water? It has a half-dime relationship with the footbasin?

Liu Ling'er then asked, "What do you mean by that? What good can this black and heavy footbasin be?" Can you tell me about it?"

Liu Ling'er's words were on the point, and the little mule, Xiao Chunzi and the big mouth Liu all stopped their work and surrounded them together, asking the master to answer this question.

They don't know the answer to this question, the master has been asking them to wash their feet with this footbath, as for why he never said, so they have been very strange, and today they can just ask what is going on?

In the past, Ouyang was not interested in talking about this matter, but now he is interested, mainly because Liu Ling'er is there, and he is especially willing to say it.

Ouyang salivated and said slowly: "Do you know what this wood is? The key is this wood." ”

Listening to the master's words, it looks very mysterious, whether it is the tone of speech or the expression, isn't it just wood?

However, everyone was still curious and asked what kind of wood it was?

Ouyang coveted and then said, "This wood is a black wood from the Great Snow Mountain in the north, do you know the black wood? Don't talk about you, there are no more than ten people in Dahua Shenzhou who know the black wood." ”

What is black wood? Not to mention black wood, even mahogany, yellow wood, etc., everyone doesn't know, because everyone doesn't know anything about wood.

"Master, what is the effect of this black wood? Why is it so heavy? How did you get these footbaths?" Bigmouth Liu interjected, he was so curious that he asked a few questions in a row, and it was also a question that everyone wanted to know.

Ouyang coveted and continued, "Why is the black wood so heavy, this is caused by its growth environment, because its density is very high, so it can withstand the cold of the northern wind and snow. ”

"Understood, no wonder it's so heavy, my goodness, like a piece of iron. The little mule chimed in, "Then why is it good for the body to wash your feet?"

Ouyang coveted and continued to explain, "You don't know this, there is a substance that can be emitted in the black wood, which can kill a lot of germs, and it is also relying on this substance that it can grow healthily." ”

After hearing Ouyang's coveted explanation, everyone understood what was going on, it turned out that this black wood could emit a substance that could kill germs, and this explanation was perfect.

Xiao Chunzi asked curiously, "Master, this footbath has been used for three years, right?

"Of course, these footbaths have been used for more than three years, but eight years. Ouyang salivated and counted the time and said, it has indeed been eight years.

Eight years have surprised everyone, the footbath can be used for so many years, and it is also amazing, and I have to reflect positively that black wood is indeed a good material.

"After eight years, will it still emit that bactericidal substance?" asked Bigmouth Liu curiously.

"Of course, didn't I just say that?" Ouyang coveted and continued, "The speed at which this black wood emits that substance is very slow, and it can continue to be used for decades, and there is no problem at all for eight years." ”

The three questions asked by the big mouth Liu made the master Ouyang salivate and explained, and everyone knew why the master kept these footbaths all the time, and they had been letting them use them for so many years, and they understood the master's good intentions.

Next, Liu Ling'er asked a question, she was also very interested in this black wood that she had never seen before, so she asked, "Grandpa Ouyang, this black wood is in the Snow Mountain, how did you get it?"

Liu Ling'er is very interested in that snow-capped mountain now, and she is also very interested in how Ouyang's predecessors went to that snow-capped mountain.

Ouyang salivated and smiled, more interested in the questions raised by Liu Ling'er, which were much better than the three questions raised by the big-mouthed Liu, and continued, "Speaking of why I went back to the thousands of miles of snowy mountains in the northern country, there are some people who have said it, I'm afraid I can't finish it overnight, I don't know where to start." ”

"Master, if it's a long story, you can make a long story short, I'm afraid to wait, is the water already boiling?" said Koharuko.

Just as everyone was talking, the water in the cauldron began to boil, and Koharuko was the first to hear it, because he was closest to the cauldron, and the sound of the water boiling was so clear.

Hearing Koharuko's words, everyone turned their attention to the water in the pot, which was boiling at the moment, and could be scooped out to soak their feet.

Why do you have to soak your feet in hot water, because soaking your feet in hot water can not only relieve fatigue, but also activate the meridians and acupoints on your feet, because the feet of the human body are the places with the most blood veins, and soaking your feet often can be beneficial to your health.

Liu Ling'er had never seen her feet soaked in such hot water, so she asked curiously, "Why do you boil the water so much? Isn't it cold water? Why don't you just use warm water?"

If you boil the warm water directly, you can scoop it out and wash your feet, which can also save some burning fuel.

Hearing Liu Ling'er's words, Ouyang salivated and explained with a smile, "Ling'er, you don't know this, the foot washing water must be boiled, and the foot soak can achieve the best effect." ”

"How can this be explained?" Liu Ling'er then continued to ask, because Ouyang Shui didn't explain her question at all. ”

Ouyang coveted and continued, "Only when the water is boiled can the bacteria inside be killed, and those toxic substances can be decomposed, and the use of boiled water is beneficial to the health of the body." ”

Ouyang is not only a good chef, but also has a deep knowledge of medicine and knows a lot of medical postures.

In fact, many medical health regimens can be used on top of food, and in the same way, food may also be used as a health regimen, and the two can be used at the same time, combining the two into one.

After hearing Ouyang's coveted explanation, Liu Ling'er completely understood clearly, I don't know if my father will know these truths, but as a once famous imperial chef, I should know these truths.

Just as Ouyang was salivating and Liu Ling'er were talking, the little mule had already scooped out some water and poured it into the bathtub, and at the same time added a little cold water to make it warm enough for human feet to acceptably ask.

If the water is too hot, it will not be able to burn out the skin, and the temperature that your feet can accept is also limited, and you can't exceed that limit.

"The water is ready, I'll bring it to your room. The little snail said, what he said was very good, but the truth was cruel, because there was too much scooping water, plus the weight of the black footbath itself, and the hot water, it was not easy to walk with it.

In fact, although the weight of the black footbath and the water is very heavy, it is not a problem for the young mule, but the key is not the weight, but the hot water.

The boiling hot water is bubbling with boiling steam, which has a strong burn ability, and it is unbearable to face the water vapor all the time, so it is not so easy to carry the footbath.

Haruko saw that the little mule was struggling to carry the footbath alone, and at the same time thought that he couldn't let all the good things be given to him, and he had to do something?

So Xiao Chunzi also ran out and carried the footbath with the little mule to Liu Ling'er's room.

Seeing that Xiao Chunzi and Xiao Luozi took the initiative to get up, Big-mouthed Liu was not far behind, although he knew that he was not as good as the two of them, but he didn't regret it when he tried overall, what if the beautiful girl fell in love with him? Love is really an indefinite thing, Big-mouthed Liu thinks like this.

But the bathtub has been carried over by them, and the big-mouthed Liu can't play the idea of the bathtub, so he can only think of other ways.

In fact, the good thing left for Big Mouth Liu is that cold water also needs to be taken over, because it is impossible to insert your feet directly into the hot water to wash, which will burn, and you must use cold water to exchange the temperature.

Therefore, it is also very important to send the cold water over, although the cold water is not very heavy, and Liu Ling'er can easily take it by herself, but she was still preempted by the big-mouthed Liu.

Big-mouthed Liu smiled and said, "I'll help you get it." ”

Liu Ling'er smiled, "Thank you, big-mouthed Brother Liu, you guys are so good to me, I don't even know how to thank you." ”

Liu Ling'er walked in front, and Big-mouthed Liu followed behind, returning to Tianxiang's question as he walked.

"You don't need to be grateful, we are all good friends, and good friends don't need to be thanked. ”

The two quickly entered the room, and the big mouth Liu put the bucket of cold water next to the bathtub, so that she could wash her feet with water.

Little Mule, Little Chunzi and Big Mouth Liu went out of the room together, gently closed the door, Liu Linger moved the chair over, and began to slip and wash his feet.

The water in the footbath was very hot, and the white smoke from the water vapor suddenly filled the small room, and then it turned into a misty appearance, Liu Ling'er seemed to be a fairy in the clouds.

Liu Ling'er began to scoop a scoop of cold water and tried it with her feet, but she still couldn't insert it directly, so she could only put her feet on the edge of the footbasin, letting the water vapor that floated out wet her feet.

Then, Liu Ling'er scooped another scoop of cold water, but this time she reluctantly accepted.
