Chapter 97: Arrange bait to catch big fish

After the general's funeral, the Lu Mansion secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes suddenly focused on the upcoming competition. In addition, the princess of the General's Mansion and one son and three daughters all stayed in Lujiazhuang to rely on Lu to guard filial piety, so the atmosphere in Lu Mansion is becoming more and more relaxed day by day.

The eldest lady freed her hands and began to deal with the trivial matters that had fallen in the house these days. After a few days of hard work, the size of the maids' clothes was measured one after another. The big girls with heads and faces wanted to take the opportunity to sell their needlework, and refused to let the person who did the job of the shop pù do it, but took the clothes and came back to sew them by themselves.

Qiu Yue not only received her own clothes, but also brought back the clothes of the little maids of Crouching Tiger Xuan, set up long cases in the outhouse of the West Wing, spread felt, and taught them to tailor and do needlework every day.

Qiu Yue called An Yixin a few times, An Yixin excused herself from being too busy and refused to go to school, and sent the clothes that Qiu Yue helped her bring back to the store, and cut them together with the servants who guarded the door and the servants who moved flowers and swept the floor, and Qiu Yue laughed at her greatly.

However, An Yixin didn't care, she believed that even if the people in the shop were perfunctory, it would be much better than her craftsmanship.

Her mind was all about making balm.

Although An Yixin bought the most expensive and best raw materials, making zuò balm by himself was originally a very fine manual work, and An Yixin had an ulterior purpose, and he couldn't wait for his balm to make a name for himself in Lufu in the shortest possible time, so the requirements were extremely high.

She mixed the pearl powder she bought into the base oil of the balm, and even made a simple distiller herself, bought a few taels of the cheapest ginseng, and extracted the ginseng essence by herself.

Shen Yu was not interested in making zuò balm, but was fascinated by the simple distillation system. Seeing that the ginseng extract was very effective, he immediately wrote a long letter to Su You, a famous doctor he had studied under for three months, describing in detail the use of the distillation system, and also deliberately drawing pictures to illustrate. If it weren't for An Yixin's idea of using this set of things to distill flowers, I was afraid that even the copper pipe that An Yixin specially found someone to make would be removed and sent to the famous doctor as a sample.

An Yixin didn't expect that she was just making balm, and Shen Yu immediately thought of medicine. However, since Shen Yu thought of medicine, she also deduced that she would use it to make balm, added a few herbs to the herbs that Shen Yu bought for testing, and then carried people behind her back to distill the juice of the two herbs respectively, and then hid them separately.

Lice are not contagious, and Lu Yunwan is getting better again, so An Yixin needs to add something to that ball of cotton. However, before making sure that the finished product was given to Lu Rongjin for use, An Yixin had to make sure that no one else would touch the two kinds of liquid medicine and the ball of cotton at the same time.

Although even if Crouching Tiger Xuan has many hands, and there is really a little maid who is unfortunate enough to be hit, An Yixin can be cured quietly, but it is always better to be cautious.

Even if it was Lu Rongjin, An Yixin just wanted her to be tortured and let out a bad breath. Before preparing to harm others, An Yixin had already planned to quietly cure her after she got angry.

An Yixin was busy for two days in a row, and took the opportunity of everyone's tailoring to send balm to a few big girls such as Xia Yu. Even Qiu Yue had to admit that the balm made by An Yixin was smooth and easy to use, and after only applying it once, her skin was watery the next day, much stronger than what she had been using.

Several big girls praised unanimously, and the good things were naturally sent to the eldest lady and the little lady. The two ladies also felt good after trying it out, and their respective eldest maids, Chunhua and Zhuqing, immediately volunteered to come to An Yixin and ask her to make some for the two ladies.

After Chunhua and Zhuqing left, Mrs. Xiao Wang remembered the fried red fruit that An Yixin had just made, as well as the sugar-fried chestnuts she made a few days ago, and then the juice she made with wine earlier, and then look at the balm she made now, although she and An Yixin didn't say a few words, and even An Yixin's appearance was a little unclear, but thinking of the little girl being so ingenious, she immediately fell in love. In front of the eldest lady, she instructed her other eldest maid Liu Cui to take twenty taels of silver and chase it to An Yixin, and specially told Liu Cui to be polite and flatter An Yixin a few words.

The eldest lady saw it in her eyes, but she just smiled. Shen Yu is his son's little junior brother, no matter how much he likes him, his identity is there, he can only love him and spoil him, and it is impossible for him to surrender his identity to win over his maid. And Mrs. Xiao Wang is willing to do this, of course she won't say anything.

As for the eldest daughter-in-law, it is twenty taels of silver as soon as she makes a move, anyway, it is the daughter-in-law's money, and the eldest lady will not feel distressed.

Three big maids came to An Yixin one after another and asked her to make balm for the two ladies, and Lu Yunrou's maids lotus leaves and lotus flowers immediately heard about it. However, thinking that their young lady had chased An Yixin with a sword in Bishui Garden, they didn't dare to talk about An Yixin's strengths in front of the young lady, but quietly came to Crouching Tiger Xuan together. The two maids hid in the Qiu Yue house and tried the balm, and after thinking that it was really easy to use, they asked Qiu Yue to accompany them and came to An Yixin.

An Yixin seemed to have forgotten her previous suspicions, and listened to the lotus leaf and lotus flower babble and say that she also wanted the balm, and immediately agreed to make a bottle for each of them.

"Since the eldest lady and the little king are also going to do it, then you can make a bottle for Miss Yunrou by the way." Qiu Yue said with a smile next to him.

She was kind-hearted and wanted to let An Yixin please Miss Yunrou with this.

Lotus Leaf and Lotus were worried that the two of them came to ask for the balm in private, afraid that Lu Yunrou would be angry if she found out, and when she heard Qiu Yue say this, she immediately nodded again and again, "Miss Yixin, you can also make a bottle for my young lady." ”

An Yixin didn't like people who were interested in taking Qiao, and when she heard them speak, she didn't hesitate, and she didn't wait for them to continue pleading, so she agreed with a smile. The two maids were overjoyed, and sincerely thanked and thanked each other before leaving Crouching Tiger Xuan.

After a few hours of giving Lu Yunrou's balm, it was ready and sent over. As for the balm for the eldest lady and the little Mrs. Wang, An Yixin personally went to explain to Chunhua and Zhuqing for a long time, saying that after thinking about it, she felt that the eldest lady and the little lady Wang were older than others, and she wanted to add more skin maintenance materials to them, so it would take a few days to make it a few days later.

The two maids nodded when they heard this, and they both told An Yixin not to worry, just do it well.

An Yixin nodded with a smile, secretly thinking in her heart, the bait has been sown, and now it depends on how the fish is hooked.

An Yixin was no longer in a hurry to make the balm, but returned to the kitchen, and after making red jam, she began to try mountain slag cakes, mountain cake rolls and mountain slag juice.

Lu Yunshen was not very interested in all the red fruit products, and seeing An Yixin tossing the red fruit tirelessly, he lightly instructed Qiu Yue to ask someone to buy two more baskets of chestnuts and come back.

The little maids of Crouching Tiger Xuan were forced by Qiuyue to learn needlework, but also to dig red fruit cores and peel chestnut skins, busy and happy. There was laughter and laughter in the small courtyard. (To be continued.) )
