Chapter 42: Homemade Tonic Pills
Before I knew it, a few months had passed, and it was now the New Year, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and most of the time, Xiaoyu preferred to stay in the valley unless necessary. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because the valley is like spring all year round, every time I go out, I have to wrap a scarf and gloves tightly, and as soon as I enter the valley, I immediately pick up a fine light, only wearing a single clothes, Xiaoyu is not stupid, I know where to stay more comfortable, not to mention that she still has a ball in her stomach.
In this cold winter night, the two of them sat under the lantern fruit tree in the valley where the day remained daylight, wearing only a single coat, and feasting.
I saw that on the table, sprinkled with green onions, red, yellow and green scrambled eggs, a plate of fried vegetables with just the right heat and tender green, plus a large porcelain bowl of mushrooms and chicken, although they are all home-cooked dishes, but the chopsticks of the two of them shuttled back and forth between the bowls and plates, and it didn't take long for them to see the bottom.
"Xiaoyu, as soon as the doctor said that day that you were twins, I was so happy that I couldn't believe it, but looking at your belly that is bigger than ordinary pregnant women, I believed it."
"Me too, I can't believe it, there are two babies living here at once, don't talk about you, it also makes me happy," Xiaoyu's face couldn't hide her joy.
"That's, it doesn't depend on who their father is, wife, at this critical time, my husband is still a little useful, you say, right?"
"Seeing that you don't look in shape, I don't even bother to tell you," Li Shaoyang's words made Xiaoyu's cheeks blush.
Then he said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing them, do you think they are men or women, what do they look like?" Xiaoyu said infinitely gently, her face shining with the brilliance of motherhood.
"Look at your urgency, in a few months, you will be able to meet every day," Shaoyang put a chicken leg in the small rain bowl, "You are now one person to eat three supplements, the most important thing is that you have to protect yourself, eat more nutritious things, and then you can give birth to two healthy babies." ”
"Hmm," Xiaoyu replied as she picked up the chicken leg with a smile and took a big bite on it.
"There's one more thing, Xiaoyu, I want to discuss it with you," Shaoyang said, a little embarrassed.
"What do you say, do you need to talk to me like this?
"Actually, it's not a big deal, isn't it going to be the New Year? I'm thinking, if you're willing, take a moment and go back to the 'Happy Village'."
"Okay, I don't have an opinion, you can arrange it." Xiaoyu replied very simply, but Shaoyang was slightly stunned, Shaoyang thought that Xiaoyu must not want to go back, after all, Xiaoyu was sold to his own family, not to mention, his stepmother and sister-in-law......
Xiaoyu looked up at the lantern fruit, "You said that this lantern fruit, we picked it for a few days, and it grew new again, and it seems that we can never finish eating, and we know his miraculous effect." It would be nice if I could let my dad eat one! It's definitely a great way to keep fit. ”
"That's true, but if you take this fruit out of this valley, be careful that people will study us as monkeys." Li Shaoyang didn't want to, but he really couldn't take this risk.
"Yes, you think, can we do this, if we beat the lantern fruit into a pulp and make a pill, what do you think?" Listening to Xiaoyu's words, Li Shaoyang instantly felt like a chicken blood.
"yes, why didn't I think of it, my wife is amazing." Li Shaoyang didn't care that there were still oil flowers at the corners of his mouth, and he took a bite of "chirp" on Xiaoyu's pink face. ”
"I hate it, I'm eating, I'm going," Xiaoyu glanced at her, but his heart was sweet, and at the same time, he also understood that Shaoyang's heart cared about his old father.
"If you don't say it, my wife is smart, this idea is good, I think it's okay, and when the time comes, I'll say it's the pill that the old Chinese medicine doctor gave us." The more Li Shaoyang spoke, the more excited he became, and he thought about it later.
Just do what you say.
After eating, the kitchenware and chopsticks were put away, and Xiaoyu picked 8 lantern fruits and went to the stream to wash them and set them aside.
And Li Shaoyang is in charge of Baidu, this is their first time making pills, many processes still have to find "Du Niang", Shaoyang searched for various methods of "making pills", respectively, "take its essence", formulate the most suitable production plan, and then it is time to put it into action.
Xiaoyu and Li Shaoyang divided the labor.
First of all, Xiaoyu rummaged through the cave where the grain was stored, and finally found a small bag of flour, in order to avoid any adverse effects on the stomach and intestines of the pills made from raw flour, she decided to fry the flour first.
After turning on the hot pot, pour in a little peanut oil, moisten the bottom of the pot, and then carefully find a small sieve, pour the flour into the sieve, directly sift the fine flour into the pot, turn down the heat, and keep stir-frying. This is physical work, and you can't be lazy, otherwise you will be scorched, and your efforts will be wasted.
Until the flour turns slightly yellow and begins to smell a little burnt, turn off the heat, let it cool, and set aside.
Take another small soup pot, turn on the fire, boil the water, pour in a certain amount of honey and boil, stirring while controlling the heat from high to low, and slowly boiling. The honey should be boiled into "old honey", so that the water can fully evaporate, boil it almost enough, and let it cool for later use.
On the other side, Li Shaoyang washed the lantern fruit, cut it into several pieces, put it in the fruit blender and began to stir, and suddenly the air was filled with a strange fruity aroma.
At the last critical moment, it is time to make pills, and success or failure is here.
Take a large glass bowl, pour the pulp made of lantern fruit into it, add an appropriate amount of fried flour, and then pour in a little boiled old honey and knead it into a dough.
In the process of kneading the dough, the honey fragrance is mixed with a strange fruity aroma, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.
The dough is kneaded, then kneaded into long strips, and then picked small agents the size of quail eggs, kneaded round, and it is done, perfect!
Looking at the more than thirty carefully made small pills in front of them, accompanied by a mouth-watering fragrance, the two swallowed their saliva in unison, looked at each other and smiled, and finally made it, if you don't try it yourself, it's not good to eat bad people, right?
The two of them thought of their excuse to take pills, and coincidentally, they each picked up one and sent it to their mouths, only to see a fragrance different from that of the lantern fruit, which was fruity and accompanied by a slight honey fragrance, forming a more unique fragrance, and the entrance was sweet and glutinous, so that Li Shaoyang and Xiaoyu, who had eaten the lantern fruit, couldn't ignore the warmth of the belly after swallowing it. But the feeling of being refreshed.
"Great, it's finally done, when the time comes, take it to Dad first, one at a time, not more, otherwise it's as obvious as we did at the beginning, it's not easy to explain, let's take it slow and give it to him a few times", Xiaoyu proposed.
"Well, let's go together, I think so too, otherwise how can I say that I have a heart," Li Shaoyang smiled hippiely.
"Go, who has a heart with you! I was wondering if the effect of the lantern fruit would be reduced in this way. "Xiaoyu has concerns, if that's the case, wouldn't it be a pity to spoil such a good thing.
"If that's the case, there's no way to do it, even if you cut some effects, it doesn't matter, it's better than nothing."
"Well, that's right," they kind of agreed on the matter.
