Every Wednesday is the day when the grain chief talks about "The Great Message", Zhang Zhaohua does not go to the grain chief's house, so he goes to Zhang Qin's house next door to play with Fangfang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Qin's family is also used to walking, and when he saw her coming, he grabbed a handful of dates and stuffed them in her arms, and waved her to find Fangfang. Zhang Zhaohua is holding more than a dozen dates in his hand, eating or putting them is not, it takes a lot of brains, because this date is not a red date, it is a wild sour date, and it is not the oblate shape of the later generations, but a round ball about the size of a fingernail, at first glance, it looks a bit like bayberry, and it tastes like drinking a sip of vinegar, and the roots of the sour people's teeth are swollen and painful.

Zhang Zhaohua walked to the door of Fangfang's high house, opened his mouth and was about to call her, when he saw her come out with a large bucket of water and a basin under her armpit.

"Fangfang," Zhang Zhaohua ran over: "What are you doing?"

Fangfang saw that it was her, and said happily: "I'm going to wash my hair, and when you come, help me rub my hair." ”

"It's such a cold day, it's still early in the morning," Zhang Zhaohua said: "You still run outside to wash, you're not afraid of frostbite!"

"I have little hair, and I wash it quickly," Fang Fang said nonchalantly, "I will enter the house in less than a while." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhaohua also has to sigh that the country child has strong bones, Zhang Chang and Zhang Sheng are not afraid of freezing when they take a bath, and they don't wait for the water to boil before they wash it, there is nothing wrong with it, and they also say that the cooler it is, the happier it is.

Seeing Fangfang pour the water from the bucket into the basin, Zhang Zhaohua walked over and tested the water temperature, the hot feel made her feel relieved, and helped break a piece of tea bran cake, crushed it and put it into the water, Fangfang stirred in the water with both hands, and saw that the water color turned brown, and said okay, untie the belt and bury her head in the water.

Zhang Zhaohua saw that the basin of scum was stirred and stuck everywhere in his hair, and he couldn't help but say with disgust: "How many times have I told you, find a gauze bag to wrap the tea bran pieces, and put it in the water to wash it so that it won't be full of dregs. ”

"I'm used to washing like this, where is it like you're a fine person!" Fang Fang said vaguely: "Quickly help me rub it." ”

Zhang Zhaohua lifted his mouth, but rolled up his sleeves in his hand and put his hand in.

The tea bran cake used for washing their hair in the countryside and the honey locust dough for bathing are all borne by the merchants, because there is a big oil workshop in Luyi that uses camellia seeds to extract oil, so the tea bran cake is a pure natural detergent made from the residue left after the wild camellia oil fruit is squeezed from the oil, and it has become the best thing to use in the whole village.

Zhang Zhaohua found that the shampoo used in her previous life was not as good as this kind of tea, and she used tea bran to wash her hair and shampoo her hair, and there was no problem of dryness, yellowness, split ends and breakage, and oily dandruff, and her hair quality had never been so good.

The price of honey locust dough is also low, but it has a strong cleaning power, and it feels dry when washed in winter, but it is particularly clean and refreshing in summer. These two are things that Zhang Zhaohua thinks are very useful, and she has also seen other things picked by the merchant, such as bath beans, pig ling, and soap.

The bath bean is an upgraded version of the honey locust dough, which contains many spices such as sweet pine, white sandalwood, musk, clove and other spices, as well as white silkworm and atractylodes, which can make the skin fair and delicate. According to the merchant, this thing sells well in the city, and of course it is expensive.

There is also Zhu Ling, which is also a bit expensive, it is only used by wealthy people, and Zhu Ling has some spices added to it, and it will have a relatively strong aroma after use. Of course, this is also what the merchant said, the price of a piece is indeed quite high, Zhang Zhaohua once wanted to buy a piece, and in the end, it was just that.

Zhang Zhaohua rubbed it for her and washed it very clean after a few times, and then rinsed her with water, Fangfang's hair is really not much, and when she rinses it, it is almost the same as twice in water, because of the thinning hair, all the dregs of the tea bran have been washed down, that is, she can do this, Zhang Zhaohua's hair cannot be directly soaked in the tea bran water - in the end, Zhang Zhaohua wrung out her hair, and urged her to hurry back to the room with a pack of towels.

Back in Fangfang's high room, Zhang Zhaohua sighed and said, "Why don't you make a charcoal fire in your room?"

"Only my mother and my brother have a charcoal fire in their room," Fang Fang quickly wiped her hair and said, "Wait a while, there will be a fire on the stove, and it will be warm in this room." ”

Contrary to Fangfang's house, Zhang Zhaohua's house is Zhang Chang and Zhang Sheng's room, there is no charcoal basin, and Zhang Zhaohua's room has a big charcoal basin, and a large bag of black charcoal at the back of the house is for Zhang Zhaohua.

There are very few like Zhang Zhaohua's family, and most of the villagers are still patriarchal, which is not something that Zhang Zhaohua can put his beak in - but fortunately, everyone has a kang, and it is very comfortable to sleep in the heat at night, although it is gradually cold in the second half of the night, there is still residual temperature, and I don't want to get up for a while at dawn.

"Sunflower seeds, raw," Fangfang pushed over a large plate of melon seeds and said, "Can you get used to eating them?"

"Yes," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Raw melon seeds have high nutritional value, and they are not hot, but you don't want to eat them every day, haven't you looked in the mirror, your teeth are pitted!"

Saying that, she threw the cloth bag she took from home: "It is a dried wild chrysanthemum, you said that you didn't have the energy to dry it when you picked it, I dried it, you can take it and fill the pillow core!"

Fangfang opened it in surprise and saw that it was a chrysanthemum that had dried out, she picked one up and asked, "Can you eat it?"

"It can be soaked in water," Zhang Zhaohua said: "When this thing was first picked back, there were often small insects in the chrysanthemum pile, and my mother couldn't stand it, so she washed them all with water before drying them." You can divide a little bit of water to drink, and there are many pillow fillers left. ”

"Turn around and let my mother pull the pillow core and sew it in," Fangfang put away the chrysanthemums and said, "Why do you say that you are so dexterous, obviously we eat about the same, but you are just living a noble life!"

"What is precious," Zhang Zhaohua said with a smile: "It is precious, and it is precious, and a little more wild chrysanthemum is precious?

"What kind of truly noble person is you?" Fang Fang asked.

"That's to eat a dish of eggplant also to fry with chicken fat, and then use chicken breast meat and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried curd, all kinds of dried fruits, all cut into dices, simmer dry with chicken broth, collect sesame oil, add bad oil, seal it tightly in a porcelain jar, take it out when you want to eat, and eat it with fried chicken melon," Zhang Zhaohua has a deep memory of the famous eggplant in "Dream of Red Mansions", and said: "An eggplant, you need to use ten chickens to match it - this cooking gold and jade food is a dish on the banquet of the nobles!"

"My mother," Fang Fang was dumbfounded: "Is there really such a rich day in this world? Then don't coax me! I heard that the emperor's day is just to eat some vegetables every day, plus a dish of tofu, and he doesn't even eat pork often! Where is there anyone who can compare to the emperor!"

"The emperor is thrifty, if he is not thrifty, the people below will not be able to control it for a long time," Zhang Zhaohua said with a smile: "I eat less pork because the emperor is surnamed Zhu, and there are some taboos, but it is a matter of the same word." ”

"Ever since I ate meat at the ceremony," Fang Fang smacked her lips, "and I haven't smelled meat for more than a month." ”

"If you bear with it, there will be meat to eat when the New Year comes. Zhang Zhaohua was amused by her expression: "I heard from the chief of the grain, the social drama at the beginning of the year will invite the troupe to come, and there will be a lantern market in front of the Land Temple, and it will be very lively at that time - you save a little more money now, and then go to the lantern festival to have a good meal!"

At the mention of this, Fangfang was even more sad.
