Chapter 386: Sachets

"Master, don't dismantle my platform." Xu Zhilan was a little embarrassed.

The three of them talked and laughed, and after spending a pleasant half an hour, Xu Zhilan and Yu Huiyi said goodbye.

The two of them left the swordsmithing shop, and on the way, she looked at Yu Huiyi, and suddenly reacted and patted her head.

Why did she forget him, he was the one who knew the Queen Mother's preferences best, so she hurriedly asked him for advice.

Although Yu Huiyi was a little surprised, he still told her everything he knew.

The Queen Mother is not in good health, and has insomnia and headaches all the year round, and now she is often accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, just to seek peace.

Xu Zhilan's eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his heart.

She can make a sachet for the Queen Mother to relieve her insomnia headaches. Such a congratulatory gift is not only intentional, but also used in practice, which is really suitable.

Xu Zhilan immediately thanked him, and the two separated.

She herself rushed to the largest pharmacy in the capital - Baicaoju.

Baicaoju, as a place known as a place to collect medicinal materials from all over the world, is very spacious, and you can see a medicine cabinet several feet high at a glance.

The guy in the big pharmacy is also very attentive to the guests, as soon as Xu Zhilan came in, someone immediately greeted her, and asked her with a smile What could she serve.

"I want to buy a few sun-dried herbs to use as sachets."

"No problem, the shop has everything. What do guest officers need? The small ones will be picked up for you immediately. ”

"Calamus, wild chrysanthemum, artemisia, cloves, angelica, mint, borneol, herba, spicy yi, nepeta, perilla, these are the best for me."

The man responded, "Don't worry, the medicinal materials in the small shop are all of the highest quality, otherwise, how can you bear this reputation." ”

Xu Zhilan nodded in agreement, and the guy turned around and quickly went to dispense medicine for her.

The guys at the big pharmacy are very smart, and they can memorize all the names of the medicines just by listening to them once.

Xu Zhilan took the medicine bag, listened to the guy repeat it, was very satisfied, and after paying the silver taels, he went home.

After returning to Xianglan Courtyard, Xu Zhilan asked Xiaohua to fetch the medicine mill for her.

I opened the medicine bags one by one, and after checking the condition, I picked up a small iron scale and divided the materials of each medicinal material in proportion.

After taking the medicine mill, she immediately began to grind it carefully, and after grinding it into a fine powder, she wrapped it in a small paper wrap one by one.

During this period, Xiaohua saw that she was grinding hard and wanted to help, but she refused, saying that she had to go through her own hands to show her sincerity.

The spices are ready, but what about the sachets containing the spices?

Go buy a ready-made? Not good.

She could afford to hold a scalpel with ease, but the small embroidery needle stumped her.

Xu Zhilan thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Wouldn't you still be able to learn? It just so happens that there are people in the house who are good at female popularity.

So, she happily went to Nan Ke, Nan Ke listened to her intentions, and said approvingly: "It's hard for you to have a heart, but do you have a sachet to think about what you want to do?" ”

"I definitely don't know as much about this as my aunt, auntie, you can help me think about it~"

Xu Zhilan's eyes were shining, and he looked at her expectantly.

Nan Ke tapped the tip of her nose and said helplessly, "You......"

She remembered the fabric that Xu Zhilan had given her, and after she took it to make a dress, there was still something left, so she rummaged through the bean-green fabric.

"What do you think of this color?"

Xu Zhilan looked at it, this color is calm and atmospheric, and the feel of the material is very good, suitable for close wear.

"Auntie's vision is so good."

"Silly girl, this is still what you gave me, no impression?"

When Xu Zhilan heard this, he suddenly realized: "No wonder I looked familiar, but I didn't remember it for a while." ”

The two laughed a few words and began to get to the point.

Under the guidance of Nanke, Xu Zhilan sewed up stitch by stitch.

What made her very puzzled was that when she watched Nanke's demonstration, it was very simple, and the stitches were dense and neat, how did she get here, and the sewing was crooked.

Nan Ke looked at her distressed look and comforted: "How can you eat a fat person in one breath, take your time, don't worry." ”

Xu Zhilan nodded and removed the crooked thread again.

Nanke pointed out a few words again, saying that when holding the cloth, it should be smoothed, otherwise it will be easy to sew crookedly.

Also, after looking at it, you need patience for needlework, and the things you make will look good.

She answered, readjusted her mentality, and sewed it up little by little.

During the sewing, I would always prick my finger from time to time, and once I prick it so hard that blood beads immediately appeared on the fingertips.

She couldn't help but "Oops! With a sigh, Nan Ke looked very distressed and persuaded her to continue without resting.

Xu Zhilan sucked the injured place, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a small injury, it's okay." ”

The day of the Queen Mother's birthday is getting closer and closer, not to mention that she is also a person who doesn't like to give up halfway, and after she makes it quickly, there will be no burden.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after I don't know how many times I reopened and adjusted, I finally sewed it up decently.

Xu Zhilan was very attentive, and he didn't notice when he lit the oil lamp.

"That's it!"

She happily took the sachet and looked left and right, so satisfied.

I'll just say, there's something else I can't learn!

She smiled proudly, and Nanke was also very happy for her, but still asked, "I've been doing it for so long, are you hungry?" ”

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as I asked, someone's stomach barked out of place.

Nan Ke looked at her little face and said with a smile: "It's just right, don't rush back first, I'll cook it myself and let you taste my craftsmanship." ”

Xu Zhilan smiled sweetly at her, "Aunt treats me so well!" ”

Nan Ke went to the small kitchen in his courtyard and asked the maid what ingredients she had.

As soon as she turned around, she realized that Xu Zhilan didn't know when she followed.

"Zhilan, you go back and sit, eat some pastries to pad your stomach, and your aunt will be ready soon."

Xu Zhilan "hehe" Yile and said: "I'll come over and give you a hand, besides, it's faster to do it if there are more people." ”

Nan Ke saw that she insisted, so he didn't persuade again.

Soon, the two side dishes were quickly ready, and Xu Zhilan ate the hot steamed buns very sweetly.

Even though it's all simple home-cooked food, she also likes the feeling.

Xu Zhilan and Nan Ke chatted for a while, and then returned to Xianglan Courtyard, at this time it was already early and Xiaomei had already rested.

She took advantage of the fact that there was still some time to put the spice powder into the sachet bag, she remembered that it was best not to let too many people know about making the sachet, so she instructed Xiaohua a few words, "Miss don't worry, it is a new tonic for Xiaomei." ”

Xu Zhilan is more and more satisfied with Xiaohua, she works diligently, she doesn't talk much, and the most important thing is that her brain turns fast and she is extremely smart.
