Like Water (Part I)
"Qiu'er, stay and go back after eating, see that it's all noon ......"
Yang Meijuan patted Gao Mingxuan, who had fallen asleep in her arms, and lowered her voice while trying her best to persuade Chunqiu who was leaving. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chunqiu shook his head, "Auntie, there are still some things at home, I'll come in a few days" Chunqiu was still worried about the ointments that had not yet been packaged at this time, and he was still in the mood to eat.
There are two main purposes for her to come over today, one is to send ointment to Yang Meijuan, the ointment given to Yang Meijuan before has been used up, and it just so happened that some new ones were made in the Spring and Autumn Period this time, so she sent them directly. The second is that Chunqiu wanted to ask her aunt to come over to help when the shop opened, after all, the effectiveness of the ointment still needs to be verified by real people, and if there are many people, Chunqiu and the two will not be busy.
“… Okay, you go slowly" Yang Meijuan persuaded a few more words, but Chunqiu had already made up her mind, and Yang Meijuan had no choice but to let go.
Listening to Yang Meijuan's concerned advice, Chunqiu was not impatient, but happy.
Leaving Yang Meijuan's house, Spring and Autumn avoided the sun overhead, and hurried back along the shady place under the wall.
In order to ensure the supply of goods, Spring and Autumn and her mother Yuan have been working overtime to make ointments in the past few days, in case the shop is not enough to sell, because the two are too busy, and even the business of the food shop in the front yard, Yuan has no extra thoughts, and directly handed over to her father Yang Weibai to be responsible.
Anyway, the shop had hired a few guys before, and a few people were busy coming over with more bothering, and Yuan was worried that a few people would complain, and he specially raised the silver money for a few people, so the guys not only did not complain, but thanked the proprietress for her kindness.
Because of the top secrecy of the ointment-making technique, the two were busy and tired, but Spring and Autumn still didn't dare to hire someone to help, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a big business, and if it was stolen by someone with a heart, Spring and Autumn would have no place to cry.
Therefore, the production of ointment can be counted on by the two of Yuan's Spring and Autumn Period, but fortunately, there are not many ointments in the bottle, and they can make a lot of them at one time, and the ointment made by the two can also be used in the upper shop.
Chunqiu returned to the shop, said hello to Yang Wei at the counter, and then went directly into the backyard.
In order to better make the ointment, a few days ago, Yuan deliberately vacated a grocery room from the backyard, and the things in this grocery room were specially designed by Spring and Autumn Period, and at this time her mother Yuan was bottling the newly made ointment inside.
Chunqiu pushed the door in, and suddenly a hot breath came to his face, choking Chunqiu's cheeks and coughing nonstop.
"Ahem, ahem... cough cough cough cough" Chunqiu bent over, patting his chest one by one, coughing heartbreakingly.
When the cough was over, Chunqiu straightened up and hurriedly shouted into the curtain, "Mother, why don't you come to the window?"
Raising her eyes and looking around, Chunqiu was curious, the room was so stuffy, could her mother stand it?
"Oh, this, Qiu'er, let's open it" Her mother's voice came from the curtain of the door, sounding a little muffled.
The window was facing the stove, Chunqiu deliberately made a circle, pushed the windows on both sides open, and a warm breeze blew directly, Chunqiu frowned, obviously not very satisfied with this effect, Chunqiu thought about it, and simply pushed the door open.
At the same time, the doors and windows were opened, and the stuffiness in the room was swept away.
Chunqiu nodded seriously, and then opened the curtain on the side and walked in.
Yuan was sweating hard at this time, and the beads of sweat on his cheeks dripped down his jaw and fell to the ground beside him.
Chunqiu hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms, walked to Yuan's side, and whispered, "Mother, you rest first"
Yuan Shi heard the sound, stopped the movement in his hand, took the handkerchief handed over by Chunqiu, and said while wiping it, "Hmm, Qiu'er is back, what did my aunt say?"
Chunqiu smiled, "Then it goes without saying, of course my aunt agreed."
"Hehe, Niuniu is really amazing, it's really hot in this house, my mother goes to the courtyard to rest" Yuan praised him, and then turned around and walked out of the house.
Chunqiu looked back at the neat and neat small jar in front of him, picked up the wooden box that her father had made on the side and put it up, these were ready to be stored in a cool place, after all, ancient technology was not good, so Chunqiu was specially rested and preserved.
Taking advantage of her mother's rest, Chunqiu made some more, putting the milky white ointment into the jar little by little, and Chunqiu was sealing the bottle with a wooden stopper.
The bottle is very small, just like the size of the palm of the Spring and Autumn Period, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and there are some beautiful stripes on the bottle body, which are specially fired by the porcelain merchants in the Spring and Autumn Period, this kind of porcelain bottle is not only exquisite in appearance, but also has a lot of uses.
"Qiu'er, the petals have been transported, where shall we put them?"
Yuan looked at the basket full of petals of various colors, and was a little worried.
"What? mother, what do you say?" Chunqiu didn't hear what her mother said, thinking that her mother was shouting that something big was wrong with her, so she put down the porcelain bottle in her hand and hurriedly ran out of the house.
Yuan Shi pointed to a basket full of petals, "What should I do with these petals?" I'm afraid it will be bad if I put it in Ming'er" Yuan Shi was a little worried when she spoke, she obviously didn't agree with putting it in tomorrow, but if she did it today, she couldn't finish it, and Yuan Shi was in a dilemma.
Chunqiu glanced at it and said with a smile, "What's this, let's crush them all first, and Ming'er will just use the flower juice directly" Although the crushed flower juice is not as good as fresh petals, but in the end, there is not much in the ointment, so it should be no big deal.
Yuan listened to Chunqiu's words, lowered his head and thought about it, he could only do this.
Put the petals on the side of the stone mill, Yuan washed the small stone mill with water, and then put the petals in to crush, Spring and Autumn brought back a few small jars from the kitchen to fill the flower juice, the mother and daughter one added petals to it, one pushed and crushed, and a basket of petals bottomed out in an instant.
Carrying the jar containing the flower juice to the house and putting it away, Chunqiu turned her head and talked to her mother about the bottle.
There are not many bottles left for the ointment, and Chunqiu still wants to customize a batch, but this time what she wants is not the way it was before, she wants to change it to the characteristics of petals.
Chunqiu simply said a few words to Yuan's thoughts, and Yuan's had no opinion, but seeing that the shop was about to open, I was afraid that the newly customized batch of porcelain bottles would not be needed at that time.
Chunqiu is not worried, anyway, she plans to use this bottle later, and now she has done enough to open the shop.
After the bottle was finished, the family was ready to have dinner, Yuan was very busy these days, naturally he was not in the mood to make a good meal, such as hot today, Yuan simply mixed a few cold dishes, after the rice was watered, it was cool and delicious to eat.
A simple make-up meal, the day is fleeting...
