Chapter 4 Visiting the Flower Market
Flower market
Lin Ya finished taking a bath and rubbed baby cream on her face and neck, but she planned to wait for the medicated bath to configure some skin care products for herself and her mother, after all, the sooner the maintenance, the better for women.
After drying her hair, Lin Ya went straight to bed, after all, she still has to get up early tomorrow morning, and the flower market usually starts before five o'clock, and the flowers at that time are the freshest, so Lin Ya has to go early. Lin Ya fell asleep within five minutes of going to bed. This is a good habit that Lin Ya has developed since ancient times, after all, Lin Ya has to wait in front of the emperor every day, and the sleep time is not enough, so Lin Ya has practiced this ability to fall asleep quickly.
But when it came to ten o'clock, Lin Ya was woken up again, Lin Ya's feeling was light, as long as there was a little sound, Lin Ya would wake up. The sound of Lin Ya's parents opening the door when they came back woke Lin Ya up. Lin Ya wore a light pajama and went out to take a look.
"Mommy, Mommy, you're back." Lin Ya said with a smile, although she had just woken up, she didn't see any fatigue on her face, but she looked very energetic.
"Yaya, haven't you slept yet?" Jiang Fan asked, but Lin Ya really couldn't see the look of being asleep on her face.
Lin Ya smiled and said, "No, Mom, have you had dinner?" Lin Ya took a glass of white water from the water dispenser and handed it to her mother.
"No! Your dad and I will come back straight after work. Jiang Fan said to Lin Ya with a smile.
"I made dishes today, put them in the refrigerator, Mom, you can eat them hot, I'll go to sleep first." Lin Ya said with a smile.
"Okay, go to sleep. Good night. Mother Lin said with a smile, even though she was so tired, she still had a smile when she faced Lin Ya.
Lin Ya smiled and nodded, and went back to the house to sleep.
"Husband, our maid has really grown up, it looks like ......" Mother Lin and Father Lin chatted while eating, and the conversation was naturally Lin Ya.
"It's not surprising, our girl is also big, and she is a big girl!" Lin Yude said with a smile, Father Lin has always been very arrogant, and he is not so sensitive to Lin Ya's changes.
But the two of them just said a few words, and then washed and slept.
At five o'clock the next morning, Lin Ya got up early, Lin's mother hadn't gotten up yet, but it was fast, after all, the students in the third year of high school needed to study in the morning, but the location of Lin's family was near No. 1 Middle School, so Lin's mother only needed to get up at six o'clock.
After Lin Ya got up, she washed her face with water, and then remembered that she remembered to give herself a face wash soap first, and after washing her face and brushing her teeth, Lin Ya changed into blue sportswear and went downstairs, and went directly to the flower market in the suburbs.
It was already more than six o'clock when Lin Ya arrived at the flower market, but this was also something that could not be helped, after all, Lin Ya's family was in the city, and the flower market was on the outskirts of the city, and it took forty minutes to take the car alone, which was because Lin Ya went out early and there was no traffic jam on the road.
There are already a lot of people in a flower market, and most of the people who come out to sell flowers are here to buy them.
Lin Ya saw a lot of flowers from inside, and they were all blooming beautifully.
Lin Ya had already listed the list of flowers yesterday, although there were many types of flowers, but Lin Ya had already chosen the best match, and also tried to choose flowers that were not so rare, so that even if they were easy to get together, they could also play the best effect.
Lin Ya spent a morning according to the flower list to buy forty-nine kinds of flowers in this flower market, in fact, the amount of flowers Lin Ya needs is not large, but there are many varieties, so it is quite troublesome, Lin Ya has carefully remembered the shops that sell these flowers, and has also carefully inquired, these flowers have always been in supply before returning home.
In the morning, Lin Ya's mother found out that Lin Ya was not at home, so she called Lin Ya, and Lin Ya found a reason to perfunctory.
Lin Ya's mother didn't doubt it, after all, Lin Ya was usually very obedient. It was almost twelve o'clock when Lin Ya arrived home, and after Lin Ya left the flower market, she ran around the supermarket and pharmacy to buy medicine jars for cooking medicine, as well as medicinal materials for making zuò facial soap.
After Lin Ya arrived home, she first made an egg fried rice with yesterday's leftover rice, and then made a cold black fungus, and after eating, she began to prepare for today's medicinal bath.
In fact, the boiling method of this medicinal bath is quite simple, but there are certain rules in the order of putting the medicine, so it is quite time-consuming. Lu Man broke off the flowers from the stems, and then put the petals of the flowers into a small bag, and then began to boil the medicine, when Lin Ya came back, she bought a small scale specially called medicine, weighed the amount she wanted, and then began to boil the medicine, eight bowls of water to four bowls of water, and then put the flower petals in, and then boiled for another quarter of an hour, and then you can pour out the medicinal juice. After Lin Ya finished cooking the medicine, she opened the window and dispersed the smell, this medicine did not smell particularly bad after it was cooked, on the contrary, the room was full of flowers, and it still smelled very good. According to the record in the book that Lin Ya saw, the favorite concubine who had soaked in this medicinal bath had a faint floral fragrance on her body, which was probably the effect of this medicinal bath.
However, Lin Ya had only read it in a book, and it was the first time to use it, but the medicinal materials used were not very toxic, but the dosage was very clever, so Lin Ya was not worried about any particularly big side effects. Looking at the time, Lin Ya first went to the bathroom to put a bathtub of water, and then poured the medicinal liquid into the bathtub, the whole bathtub was dyed a beautiful rose red, and the bathroom was filled with a rich aroma, not a simple fragrance of flowers, but the kind of many flowers and plants mixed together, which had a refreshing feeling. Lin Ya rinsed herself off in the rain, and then soaked in the bathtub, this liquid doesn't need to be soaked for too long, just half an hour. However, even if it is only half an hour, it will generally wrinkle people's skin, but after running in the medicinal bath for half an hour, Lin Ya's skin did not become wrinkled at all, but became more and more moisturized the more it soaked, and I don't know if it was Lin Ya's illusion, Lin Ya always felt that her skin seemed to have become a little whiter. Lin Ya stood up, dried her body, and then changed into a cotton underwear, and finally wore a beautiful blue skirt, a very simple kind of dress, with no decoration on it, and the skirt reached the knees.
After that, Lin Ya went out of the bathroom to the kitchen to dispose of the medicine residue, and then after cleaning up the kitchen, she took her wallet to throw away the garbage, and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and came back.
Lin Ya had already called her mother when she was in the bathroom just now, and Jiang Fan said that she would still be late in a few days before she could go home, so she asked Lin Ya to go to bed first.
Lin Ya agreed very happily, but dinner still had to be prepared, after all, her parents came back so late, and Lin Ya had to prepare dinner in order to fulfill her filial piety.
All the food made yesterday was eaten except for the soup, not because Lin Ya's parents had a large amount of food, but because Lin Ya's cooking was always quite small, and the soup was still because Lin Ya put it in the refrigerator and Mother Lin didn't see it.
When Lin Ya went to buy vegetables today, she saw a very fresh black fish, so she picked up and bought a black fish weighing more than four catties, and then went to buy two catties of shrimp, and picked up some fresh vegetables and fruits before going home.
When I got home, I looked at my watch and found that it was already past five o'clock, but it was not surprising that it took a lot of time just to boil medicine and take a bath, and then I cleaned up the house before going out to buy vegetables, so it was naturally late. Lin Ya started cooking when she got home, Lin Ya planned to make a boiled fish fillet, the bean sprouts for the side dish were specially bought mung bean sprouts, the boiled fish fillets made were fresh and tender, the bean sprouts were crispy, and the seasoning was sour and spicy, which was a very good dish.
The shrimp she bought were quite big, Lin Ya directly peeled the shrimp, and then used half of the shrimp to make a rose shrimp ball, which was still a dish that Lin Ya only learned by reading the recipe today.
Yesterday's pigeon soup has been drunk, Lin Ya directly removed the pigeon meat and made pigeon porridge, and then there was a stir-fried yam tablet, a minced eggplant, and the staple food was the silver silk roll that Lin Ya bought today.
After dinner, Lin Ya went directly back to the bedroom to grind the medicinal materials used to make cleansing soap that she just bought today into powder, and then add egg whites, honey, etc. to coagulate into lumps. (Using egg white, soybean flour, honey and other raw materials, the pulp in the honey locust is mixed with a variety of herbs and spices such as Angelica dahurica, white aconite, white zombie silkworm, white root, white tribulus terrestris, white cucumber, grass black, hawthorn, jatamansi, white cloves, rhubarb, artemisia, crane white, almond, honey monk, camphor, child tea and other herbs and spices to form a coagulation.) )
Although there are many materials used and the process of making zuò is very cumbersome, it can make several pieces at a time, so it is not particularly troublesome, and the medicinal soap made in this way can not only clean the face, but also have the effects of whitening, freckle removal and emollient, which is definitely much better than many facial cleansers.
