Chapter 178: The Ancient Version of Warm Baby
After flipping through the book like this for a few days, Du Xiaoxi couldn't help but be irritable, and when he didn't do it, good news suddenly came. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Yao was smiling when he returned from Hanlin Academy that day.
"Xi'er, see what this is?" Liu Yao took out a book and shook it in front of Du Xiaoxi.
Du Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, "Found it?" ”
"Yes, here." Liu Yao accepted the little eyes of his daughter-in-law's admiration, and turned a page to show Du Xiaoxi.
I saw that it was written:
The old man who dotted the mole said with a smile: "Rest assured, this is a craft passed down from generation to generation in the old family, and it must be medicine to remove the mole, and ensure that you will remove the burden of your life and never grow again!" ”
Li Dalang saw that the big mole on the corner of the previous person's mouth was really gone, although he was afraid that it would leave a scar, but what did he care about as a big man, so he bowed to the old man who dotted the mole and said, "Trouble the old man!" ”
Seeing that another business was done, the old man who dotted the mole also had a smile on his face.
The old man led Li Dalang into the tent behind him, pointed to the leather mattress spread on the thick hay on the ground and said, "It's really simple, don't dislike it." The guest officer took off his clothes to reveal the mole of the point. ”
Li Dalang said with a smile, and when he didn't get in the way, he took off his jacket and lay on the leather mattress as he said.
The old man who ordered the mole prepared something and approached, glanced at the big mole behind Li Dalang and exclaimed: "This is not good, your big mole is too big, and you use more medicine than others, you must add money!" ”
Li Dalang also heard his wife mention the monkey mountain behind him, thinking that the mole at the corner of the previous person's mouth was only the size of a mung bean, and the size of a soybean behind him, so he really had to use a lot of medicine, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay!" But the old man also knows that the kid really doesn't have any money, so you can add less. ”
The old man who dotted the mole glanced at Li Dalang in embarrassment, and said gloomily for a long time: "Forget it!" Never mind! Just add two more pieces of silver. ”
Li Dalang hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, old man!" ”
…………
Li Dalang only felt a chill on his back, followed by the pain of frying and frying, and the burning sensation on his back disappeared before he exclaimed. The old man who dotted the mole said unhurriedly: "Okay, the mole is gone, don't get water on your back these days, you will be transferred in a few days!" ”
When Li Dalang heard this, he only felt that the mountain that had been pressing on his body for a long time was gone all of a sudden, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
After thanking him again and again, Li Dalang went home with a smile.
Sure enough, Li Dalang quickly changed his luck, and a few days later, Li Dalang rescued the son of the rich man who fell into the water on the way to the county seat, and the rich man gave a lot of silver and exempted the rent of Li Dalang's family. A month later, the mother-in-law of the family became pregnant with a child, and the next year gave birth to a big fat boy. After more than ten years, Li Dalang had smooth sailing, and there were still a few acres of fertile land bought at home.
Liu Yao nodded to the last sentence: Mr. Zizi met an old man with a mole, and the two talked very happily, and the old man told Mr. Zizi that the person who ordered the mole was made of a flint that was hot when it met with water and a little medicinal herbs......
Du Xiaoxi jumped and read it again, in general, it was a story of walking the streets and alleys to change people's moles. The flint used by the old man to spot a mole is likely to be the lime that Du Xiaoxi is looking for.
"We just need to find someone with a mole to ask, and maybe we'll find someone!" Liu Yao said happily.
Can you be unhappy, the daughter-in-law finally asked him to help, but the man can't say anything no. In the past few days, I have been arresting people in the Hanlin Academy, and I have asked if I have seen this kind of stone, and finally the hard work paid off, and I found this book of "Jianghu Free Talk" from a colleague who loves to read and talk.
Du Xiaoxi's eyebrows curled, "It's really good, I'll let people look for it later, Brother Xiaotu, you're really amazing!" Thank you! ”
The two were not worried at all about not being able to find someone with a mole in Kyoto. Many places in Dashang call moles 'monkeys', believing that moles have additional meanings.
There is a big mole on the chest, which is a big ambition and a big good. The monkey carries you, and you don't have to work for a lifetime!
As for the mole on the back, it's a big deal. You carry a monkey on your back, and you can't turn over after being oppressed all your life.
If there is a mole on the corner of the mouth, both men and women must find a way to remove it. As for the mole of the father and mother, it must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise the whole family will suffer!
For this reason, many people would rather have a scar on their face than be talked about with a bad mole. It is very common to have a mole in people.
After Du Xiaoxi praised Liu Yao, he was just going to ask people to go to Jingbei Hutong to find someone with a mole to ask, and the porter came to report, "The sixth uncle is here!" ”
Du Liu didn't need to be greeted, and carried a big bamboo basket directly into the courtyard.
Looking at Xiao Prosperity who ran out to greet him, his big hand patted him directly on the back, "Does Boy Rong miss his uncle?" I'm here for you, your fourth uncle heard that you are going to learn archery, so he will shoot it for you! ”
Xiao Prosperity took the bow and arrow, and looked back and forth several times, "The fourth uncle did a really good job!" Sixth uncle, you must tell the fourth uncle that prosperity is so liked! ”
Du Liu nodded sadly, and said pitifully: "Yes! You like Uncle Si the most! Your second uncle and I sent it all the way to you. ”
Xiao Fanrong saw that the sixth uncle looked sad and hurriedly hugged Du Liu's arm and said good things, "I also like the sixth uncle and the second uncle, all the uncles like it, and the uncles are the best!" ”
After teasing the small one, Du Liu looked at the big one that was getting worse and worse, and took out a large oiled paper bag from the basket and gave it to Fanxing.
"Your second uncle's braised pork leg meat, let's add dinner later."
Differential treatment of red fruit fruit!
When Xiao Prosperity heard this, he went directly to his brother and sniffed on his toes, cheering with joy on his face: "The big meat made by the second uncle is the best!" It smells so good! It smells so good! I'm going to eat two more bowls of rice later! ”
Fanxing hugged the heavy braised pork leg and felt that he had been hit by a critical attack from his younger brother.
Du Liu took the two brothers into the house, Du Xiaoxi looked at the big basket behind him and asked, "Sixth brother, what did you bring here?" ”
Du Liu shook his shoulders, took out a fist-sized thing wrapped in straw from the basket and handed it to Du Xiaoxi.
"Didn't you look for a stone that became hot when you touched the water some time ago, we talked about it in the store a few days ago, and the boy who delivered the vegetables happened to come and heard it, and when I came this time, I brought a few of this, and we tried it, and it was really hot!"
Saying that, Du Liu directly picked up the teacup on the table, picked up some straw, and poured a small half cup of water into it.
Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao knew that the sixth brother said that the boy who delivered the vegetables, everything in Kyoto was several times that of Shanshui County, and the wild vegetables that were picked randomly all over the mountains and fields at home in the past could also be sold for pork money in their hometown. The Du family's ability to open a shop and do business in Shanshui County is already a great help to the sister's family, and the expenses on weekdays naturally cannot rely on the sister. Like almost all the surrounding households, he ordered the food of a family outside the city, and his son sent it over once in three days.
"Touch! Touch it! Isn't it hot! ”
Du Liuyi held a suspicious ball in front of several people.
Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao reached out and touched it together, "It's really warm." ”
"Sixth uncle, I want to touch it too! I'm going to touch it too! Xiao Fanfang looked up at it, and Fanxing took advantage of his height advantage in his younger brother's envious gaze and reached out to touch it.
Du Liu lowered his body and directly gave the things in his hand to his nephew, and said, "Don't hit your feet." With that, he turned around and continued to talk to the two.
Brother Du Liu sighed again and again, "After living for so many years, it's the first time my brother has seen this kind of thing." I also asked the kid why this is.
He said that there was a family in their hometown that would burn stone, and many people would buy some lime powder from his house in the winter to keep out the cold. Lime powder ginseng can be heated for more than an hour with mud and some water, and many old people with cold legs like to make some mud balls by themselves and step on them and press them on their backs. ”
Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao couldn't help but be amazed.
This is simply an ancient version of a warm baby!
You must know that when she was a child, she used to boil an egg in lime at most. The ancients have already invented warm babies to cure old and cold legs!
Du Xiaoxi's curiosity immediately took one out of the basket, and the straw that opened the tile surface was a layer of mud shell. Du Xiaoxi broke it vigorously but didn't move, put it on the ground and stepped on the mud shell before it cracked. Du Xiaoxi broke open the outer mud shell, and saw a layer of bud bark, and when he tore the bud bark, there were some gray-white coarse particles and powder.
Du Xiaoxi was a little strange at first, if he used wet mud to wrap lime powder, it would definitely be hot immediately, how could he wait until after adding water, it turned out that it was wrapped in bud husk and isolated. There are small holes in the mud shells and bud barks, and when you use them, you can pour water directly into them.
Du Xiaoxi's curiosity was satisfied, so he stopped looking at a few mud balls.
"Sixth brother, go back and find me some stone powder, about fifty catties."
Du Liu didn't ask Du Xiaoxi what he was doing here, and stayed to eat before rushing back to the shop.
Two days later, Du Liu came to a pile of processed stone powder, Du Xiaoxi found other things that had been prepared early, found an open space under the eaves, and surrounded a few square molds with wooden boards and began to experiment.
Small stones, sand, lime that has been cooled overnight with water, there is always a lot of zero.
Because he didn't know the specific proportion, Du Xiaoxi mixed four or five kinds according to the proportion. After smoothing out the stones, Du Xiaoxi clapped his hands and stood next to him, just waiting for the shade to dry!
Uncle Liu and Second Master Liu didn't pay attention to hearing that Du Xiaoxi was tinkering with things, after all, this daughter-in-law (niece and daughter-in-law) is an idle person. Every day is either tossing and eating or some strange things, glasses and cats and dogs that specially fanned their grandchildren a few years ago. Last month, they were in the kitchen talking about what popcorn they were going to make, but they haven't seen the results yet.
The two elders didn't care, and the young lady who saw the sky went to look at the clay molds, muttering a few words and at the same time, they couldn't help but be interested.
On this rainy day, Du Xiaoxi was checking the mud molds that had dried a lot, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy came over.
"The villain heard that the young lady wanted to make the soil stronger, so he thought that my father said that in our hometown, glutinous rice would be better viscous, and if the young lady didn't add it, you can try it."
Glutinous rice? Du Xiaoxi really didn't know. Shanshui County and Beidi Soil Embryo House are all wheat straw rice stalks, and this glutinous rice is the first time I have heard of it.
"Okay, I'll try, if the effect is good, I'll be rewarded."
Du Xiaoxi's words fell, and the little girl left with joy on his face.
Since it comes to glutinous rice, Du Xiaoxi doesn't care if it's really effective or not, he boiled a big pot of glutinous rice and poured it into it according to what the little guy said, and made a few new molds.
The weather improved, but within a few days the cement blocks in the mold dried.
Except for a few potholes that collapsed when stepped on and obviously failed, the other pieces looked really good on the surface.
Du Xiaoxi asked people to disassemble the wooden planks around them, walk on them to test their feet one by one, and then remove two pieces that obviously began to crumble as soon as they stepped on the edge. The remaining pieces were smashed with hammers for a long time, and the strongest one was finally selected. It was later at the suggestion of the little girl who added a piece of glutinous rice.
After making the cement, Du Xiaoxi suddenly felt that she was really omnipotent, and even if she was asked to make explosives at this time, she might be successful.
"Uncle, what do you think is going to do?"
Du Xiaoxi looked at Uncle Liu, who was frowning, and ran away on tiptoe.
The cement has already been made, and as for how this is used to make the embankment, the follow-up question should naturally be bothered by others.
Uncle Liu thought for a while, and then let people pass the word, in short, one meaning: 'Whoever does it will send the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion to!' ”
Everyone in Kyoto agrees that Emperor Jiayuan has become a snake spirit disease since the death of the crown prince.
The attitude towards a group of obviously biological sons is often changing. I can promote you today, and tomorrow I can scold you as a dog. The dozens of princes under him have grown up one by one, and it is essential for you to fight for me in secret, and Emperor Jiayuan doesn't care, and occasionally fanning the flames to work harder. Of course, usually the last two fights are cleaned up.
The princes competed with each other, and the most popular of them were the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the ninth prince, the fourteenth prince, plus twenty-eight or thirty-two minor princes.
Shang Qing took over most of the power after the death of the crown prince, but because Emperor Jiayuan had always felt that Lao Jiu had taken away what belonged to his son in the first few years, his attitude towards Shang Qing could be said to be a bad hatred. Many people who can't stand it and feel smart directly switch to others.
In addition, in recent years, Emperor Jiayuan has favored twenty-eight or thirty younger princes, but the emperor is still in good health and can live for another fifty years. made the eyes of many families fall on the younger prince. This makes the situation in Beijing even more invisible.
The Liu family is on the ship of the Nine Emperor Princes, if it is not for the Nine Emperor Princes, no matter who takes the throne in the future, the Liu family will not be pleased. This time to make cement, since Du Xiaoxi asked him to offer it, it represents the Liu family and not Du Xiaoxi alone. Although it can get some praise directly to the Ministry of Industry or the Emperor, it is far better to give it directly to the Nine Emperor Princes to let him seek greater benefits.
Du Xiaoxi snorted twice, send it!
In order to restrain his sons, the emperor pressed almost all of these princes to the Ministry of Rites, and now the idle Ministry of Rites has almost become a concentration camp for princes. The princes have nothing to do all day long, and many people simply stay at home and do not go to the yamen, and earn money directly, give birth to sons, and murder people.
Du Xiaoxi learned from Uncle Liu that the senior brother was the same as other princes, and only occasionally went to the Ministry of Rites to answer the ceremony, and on the second day, he dragged two truckloads of dried cement to the senior brother's mansion.
"Lord Wang, Mrs. Liu has arrived." Chand whispered.
Shang Qing's eyes left the map on the table, and he asked lightly, "What is she here for?" What does the princess mean? "His junior sister is not a lively person, and her shadow cannot be seen at various banquets in Kyoto. It's rare to take the initiative to come over now.
