Chapter 105: Ji Qing sees Shan Ying

Soon, a maid came to report to Ji Qing, and it seemed that the matter was over.

"Let's go, lad. This woman was informal, and patted Ji Qing's shoulder very gentlemanly.

"Hey, hey, why are you pat me on the shoulder? We don't know each other yet, are you? You haven't told me your name yet. ”

"Oh, it's the little woman's negligence, the concubine Lu Qiongxian is her husband's concubine, and she is currently managing the affairs of Qianzhuang in Wuchuan Town...... Although the business is not easy to do, it can still save the capital. Lu Qiongxian saluted Ji Qing at this time.

"Why do they all call you Mrs. Lu?" asked Ji Qing.

"Because the husband and the eldest lady are not there, we take care of the family and the hospital for them at home, so we are naturally the wife. Lu Qiongxian put on a smug expression of "If the eldest lady is not there, I am the biggest in the house".

"All right, Mrs. Lu, please take me with you. Ji Qing said and made a "please" gesture.

The reason why he is so polite to Lu Qiongxian is because he is not familiar with the specific topography of this "Tianxiang Courtyard" now, this courtyard is like a labyrinth, one courtyard is connected to another, of course, he can also choose to break all these courtyard walls, but he is here to be a guest, not to raid the house, the first time he comes to someone's house as a guest, he always has to leave a good impression on others first.

How did Ling Hao rest assured that he would hand over this "new home" he had worked so hard to build to his concubine to take care of...... Could it be that there is some unknown shady scene in this?

Ji Qing is a macho guy, he doesn't think it's a wonderful idea to let a woman come to the nursing home, Ling Hao must have a brain pump to let his woman show up outside, right?

What if these women were taken by the noble children of other families in the process of showing their heads and forcibly snatched away? At that time, Ling Hao was afraid that there would be no place to cry, right?

"I finally got it a little clear. When Lu Qiongxian saw this Ji Qing's polite demeanor, she seemed to have seen something wrong.

"What does Mrs. Lu understand?"

"It is indeed remarkable that a man like you, who is not afraid of the rape or the power of the powerful, lives only by his own character. Lu Qiongxian said approvingly.

"Uh...... Are you praising me or am you hurting me?" Ji Qing scratched his head, what he hated most was that others were talking around the bush in front of him, but the woman in front of him didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined......

"Let's go, my sister must have already made tea and is waiting for us. When Lu Qiongxian said this, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he suddenly quickened his pace, and Ji Qing hurriedly followed when he saw this, lest he get lost and could only "violently tear down the wall".

After turning through the three courtyards again, Ji Qing finally came to his destination.

"Sister Shan is inside, you can go in. At this time, it was Lu Qiongxian's turn to make a "please" gesture to Ji Qing.

"Why are you so polite now?"

"This is all taught to us by my sister, when a guest comes to visit, it is natural to show the etiquette and bearing of the host, otherwise it will only be ......true."

"Okay, then I'll go in. Ji Qing was not polite, pushed the door and strode in.

"Young Master Ji Qing is here, please sit down, drink a cup of hot tea, and we will talk in detail slowly. Another gentle woman greeted her and said in a respectful tone.

"Uh...... Dare to ask the girl, "Free Chinese."

"The concubine Shen Wuhua is the concubine of the husband's new concubine recently, and Sister Shan has been waiting for Ji Qinggongzi, please come with me. ”

, how many little wives has Lao Ling taken in? Is it already rotten on the street? Ji Qing was secretly surprised.

Shen Wuhua led Ji Qing into the innermost inner room, and saw that two women were already sitting on the main seat, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

"It's really not easy to see Ji Qinggongzi, and we have to invite our sister Lu in person. Shan Ying's expression was flat, but with a hint of impatience.

"I'm really sorry to keep my wife waiting. Ji Qing didn't say anything, just unceremoniously sat on the deputy seat opposite Shan Ying and looked at her for a few seconds.

"However, Ji Qinggongzi came at the right time, this tea has just been brewed......" Shan Ying took the teapot, poured a cup of tea with a clay cup, and put it in front of Ji Qing.

"Almond tea?" Ji Qing said after taking a sip.

"Yes, it seems that Ji Qinggongzi does have some doorways. Shan Ying said.

Almond is the seed of the deciduous tree plant Apricot or Apricot of the Rosaceae family. Almonds are divided into sweet almonds and bitter almonds, which are mainly distributed in the north of China, with Xinjiang, Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong, Shaanxi and other provinces and regions being the most distributed.

Almonds have rich nutritional value, each 100g of almonds contains 25~27g of protein, 47~56g of oil, 12~19g of carbohydrates and crude fiber, and also contains calcium, phosphorus, iron, selenium and other mineral elements and vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B5, vitamin C and other vitamins. Almonds have good medicinal value, such as antitussive, asthmatic, enhance human immunity, delay aging, regulate blood lipids, and nourish the brain. The content of amygdalin, which is unique to bitter almond with a variety of pharmacological effects, is 5.5%, and modern medicine believes that amygdalin has the effect of inhibiting and killing cancer cells.

Therefore, in later generations, almonds were widely used in food, cosmetics and medicine.

Almonds are divided into two categories: sweet almonds and bitter almonds.

Bitter almond is flattened heart-shaped, 1~1.9cm long, 0.8~1.5cm wide, and 0.5~0.8cm thick. The surface is yellow-brown to dark brown, one end is pointed, the other end is obtuse and rounded, hypertrophied, asymmetrical from left to right, there is a short linear seed umbilicus on one side of the tip, and there are many dark brown veins upwards at the rounded end of the junction. The seed coat is thin, the number of cotyledons is 2, milky white, oily. The breath is slight and the taste is bitter.

Sweet almonds, large grains, coarse shell lines, pale yellow, slightly crooked tips, sweet taste.

Almonds are rich in nutrients, especially protein, fat, minerals and vitamins, and have a high nutritional value. According to relevant information, the water content of dried almonds is about 5%. Each 1kg of almonds contains 233.8g of protein, 464.2g of fat, 82g of carbohydrates, 5442 kcal, 83.8g of crude fiber, 24g of ash, 1298mg of calcium, 3520mg of phosphorus, 1060mg of potassium, 71mg of sodium, 36.4mg of zinc, 8.1mg of copper, 51mg of iron, 23mg of niacin, 156.5mg of selenium, 0.92mg of carotene, 1.38mg of thiamine, 6.54mg of riboflavin, 2927mg of magnesium, 273.7mg of vitamin E, 260mg of vitamin C, etc。 100g of almonds provides 598 kcal compared to 100ml of milk. 100g of almonds contains 3 times more calcium, 4 times more potassium and 6 times more phosphorus than cow's milk. Magnesium contributes to the activation of enzymes and strengthens the function of nerves and muscles, zinc is a component of many enzymes, and copper plays an important role in improving enzyme activity, hair growth and pigmentation, connective tissue development and red blood cell formation. Almonds contain twice as much protein as ordinary cereal crops, and their amino acid types are complementary to those of cereals. Sweet almonds also contain stachyose, almond ball protein, etc. Almonds are an excellent source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids – linoleic acid, magnesium and phosphorus – and are also a good source of protein, VE, calcium, iron, zinc, copper and B vitamins.

Almonds have nutritional and health care functions such as reducing qi and expectorant, relieving cough, relieving asthma, moistening the intestines and laxative, treating scabies and reducing swelling. In traditional Chinese medicine, almonds are used as a laxative and an important ingredient for abrasion ointments for the treatment of skin diseases. Almonds are rich in high-quality protein, fat and other components that play an extremely important role in the human body, and their main functions are: relieving the lungs, moistening the intestines, laxative, moistening the blood, carrying out blood and veins, improving the qi machine, moisturizing water, and eliminating food and accumulation. Studies have found that almond liquid can reduce the sensitivity of the trachea to ammonia stimulation, resist the excitatory effects of histamine, acetylcholine and barium chloride on the smooth muscle of the trachea and intestinal smooth muscle, and accelerate the peristalsis of the large intestine. Almond oil can inhibit the biosynthesis of cholesterol, inhibit the deposition of lipids in the blood vessel wall, promote cholesterol diarrhea, prevent arteriosclerosis, and then prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Almond Tea was originally a special traditional tea drink introduced to the people by the imperial court. It uses refined almond flour as the main ingredient, brewed with boiling water made of dragon and phoenix copper pot, with almonds, peanuts, sesame, roses, osmanthus, raisins, wolfberry, cherries, sugar and other more than ten kinds of condiments. The color is gorgeous, the fragrance is pure, and it is a good product for nourishing and longevity.

Almond tea, also known as almond cheese or apricot cheese, in the early Qing Dynasty, Zhu Yizun's "Food Constitution Hongmi" "apricot cheese": "Jingshi sweet almonds are soaked in hot water, add a pinch of furnace ash, enter the water, Hou cold, that is, pinch and peel, rinse with water, and then measure into the water, such as grinding tofu method with water and grinding. Squeeze the juice with a silk bag to remove the slag, mix and cook with the juice, such as white sugar frosting. Or add a lot of milk. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Xue Baochen's "Vegetarian Theory" also has a similar description: "The glutinous rice is soaked softly, cut extremely crushed, add a number of peeled bitter almonds, dig finely, remove the slag and cook, and add sugar to eat." ”

Almond itself contains a large number of various lipids and trace elements, as well as nutrients, which can make people's skin moisturized and shiny, and at the same time has a large amount of vitamin E, which can resist oxidation and prevent damage to the face by various factors, so as to achieve a very good effect of removing spots, so that people's skin can delay aging......

In Lingfu, this is already a drink that all girls are accustomed to, and thanks to Ling Hao's vigorous promotion, the sales of almond tea in Wuchuan Town have always been high.

"Ji Qing Gongzi, my husband is inconvenient to come to invite him because he is studying in the Luoyi School Palace, and he is specially appointed to discuss with Ji Qing Gongzi in detail, Gongzi won't mind, right?"

"I don't know what happened to Madame's invitation this time?"
