Hey, intrigue like this, Cao Tong really feels disgusting.

In his heart, he and Wang Zeng did not have any conflict of interest, and the reason why the other party did this was probably because of the relationship between his mentor Lu Yijian.

However, the ministers were hostile to each other, and it was not difficult for Cao Tong to figure out what the court of the Great Song Dynasty was like.

Thinking of this, Cao Tong took Xi'er back to the small courtyard.

This is the only place that can make him feel at ease.

To be honest, the past three days have been far more tiring than when he used to be a sitting doctor.

Perhaps for distraction, Cao Tong instructed Xi'er: "Help me get some pearls, Bai Zhi, and Pei Lan from the steward."

By the way, see if you have mutton fat, and if you have, take some too. ”

"Lang Jun, are you planning to do alchemy again?"

"What kind of Dan do I practice, but I just promised my eldest sister to help her make fat powder, and it's not good to break my promise."

In fact, Cao Tong despised Da Song's cosmetics.

Not to mention that the traces of grease and powder are too heavy, it is not conducive to the preservation of fragrance.

When Cao Tong used to be a doctor, he also liked to make some ointments for patients.

In the past, in order to help a patient with skin allergies, he prepared a complete set of skin care products.

I thought that this craft would never be used again, but I didn't want to travel to the Great Song Dynasty, but it was used again.

Xi'er took a short time to pick up things this time, and only used half a cup of tea to come back with a brocade box.

When Cao Tong saw this, he knew that his cheap father had already said hello to the housekeeper.

Otherwise, just a few pearls, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble.

"Xi'er, help me grind the pearls into powder."

"Ahh Man... Lang Jun can't.

The steward gave me all the best pearls produced by Jiaozhi, and each one is the size of a longan! ”

As if afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Xi'er even took out the pearl from the brocade box.

Now it was Cao Yan's turn to be dumbfounded.

You must know that the "Compendium of Materia Medica" specifically wrote: "The pearl flavor is salty, sweet, cold and non-toxic, calming the heart; The pearl coating makes people moisturize and good color. Apply to the hands and feet, remove the skin and the inverted cheeks; Falling phlegm, removing facial spots, stopping diarrhea; In addition to children's fever, the soul is calm; Stop the white turbidity of sperm, detoxify acne and treat poison. …… makes the luster white", etc.

And some real gourmets will add pearls to their dishes by grinding them into powder.

In his previous life, he also used pearls to grind powder, but those pearls were artificially cultivated and not as big as mung beans.

Now that he saw this big pearl with a soft white luster, Cao Tong himself was a little reluctant.

"Xi'er, is there a pearl in the house that is specially used for dispensing medicine?"

"Yes, yes, but those are all given by the palace, even if Lang Jun asks for it in person, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask for it."

When Cao Tong heard this, he suddenly remembered that pearls were first included in the medicinal materials in the seventh year of Kaibao (974) of Song Taizu, and ordered Liu Han, Ma Zhi and others to revise the "Kaibao New Detailed Materia Medica".

Since then, pearl powder has become a royal object in the palace and used to reward the courtiers.

Knowing the reason, Cao Yan couldn't help but say bitterly: "Go grind the powder, the matter of the eldest sister entering the palace to run for election is important." ”

Xi'er saw Cao Yan's resolute attitude, so she had no choice but to take the order.

Connoisseurs will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.

Although Xi'er's little face at this time was still a little unwilling.

But Cao Yan, who was observing from the sidelines, saw that Xi'er was skillful, so it was not difficult to guess that she used to do these tasks often.

However, he was not idle, and used a small stove to make tea, decocting Peilan and Angelica Angelica into a pale yellow juice.

Now that it is winter, the mutton fat that Xi'er took has been frozen into a lump, but the smell is still quite strong.

Cao Tong only took three cups of liquid medicine and mutton fat and stirred it slowly.

At this moment, Xi'er walked in with the ground pearl powder and said, "Lang Jun, are you sure you can match it?" ”

Cao Tong didn't answer, and continued to stir carefully after marrying pearl powder.

It took about half an hour of continuous stirring to barely make the most primitive cream.

Looking at the finished product, Cao Yan smiled and said to Xi'er: "Go clean your hands, and then use Lang Jun and me to concoct this thing." ”

Xi'er probably was also interested, and after cleaning her hands, she couldn't help but try it out.

At first, Xi'er didn't feel anything, but when her hands and arms completely changed to two colors, Xi'er, the little girl, couldn't say anything with a surprised face.

Cao Yan enjoyed Xi'er's expression at this time, and said with a smile: "Now I know that your family Langjun is amazing!" ”

"This thing made by Lang Jun is really amazing.

In the past, when I served the eldest lady, I was also rewarded with high-quality rouge gouache, but those things could not compare with those made by Lang Jun. ”

"Hehe, if you like it, you can keep half of these, and send the rest to the eldest sister."

When Xi'er heard this, she waved her hand again and again and said, "This gouache is too valuable, let's send it all to the eldest lady."

When I get the monthly money, buy some cheap pearl horns, and then ask Lang Jun to help me make some. ”

When Cao Tong heard this, he couldn't help but look up a little more at Xi'er.

A person who can resist temptation is really a rare subordinate.

In fact, it is also the luck of the original body.

Xi'er was originally the personal maid of the old woman in Caofu, but because she broke the tea bowl, she was sent to him.

"Xi'er, don't worry, the most important thing in this gouache ratio is mutton fat, even if you don't use pearls, Lang Jun and I can make things with the same effect."

"Really!

If that's the case, Lang Jun can do more, and I'll just sell it to the girls in other rooms. ”

Cao Tong was even happier when he heard this!

He is so poor that he can't even afford charcoal, if he can really open a fat powder shop, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money?

"Xi'er, how about you say Lang Jun and I will open a gouache shop directly?" Cao Tong said.

"Lang Jun can't help it, you are a noble son, how can you meddle in the affairs of Shangjia!"

This made Cao Tong a little confused, if the original memory was correct, the Cao family controlled the charcoal business in the capital.

Could it be that the Cao family can't see that their children are rich?

"Xi'er, there are a lot of shops in our Cao family..."

"Yes, there are many, but those are managed by the foreign steward and the lady.

In our Great Song Dynasty, except for merchants, only the housewives of each family can do business.

If Lang Jun wants to make a fortune from this, he has to wait for the young lady to enter the mansion in the future. “

"Hehe, because of my cultivation of immortals, the rest of the families are unwilling to marry their daughters to me.

If I can't do business until I get married, then our master and servant won't starve to death? ”

Xi'er saw Cao Tong laughing at this, gritted her teeth and said, "Actually, the slave maid heard some rumors, and General Yao intended to marry the eldest daughter to you." ”

As soon as Cao Tong heard this, he immediately became vigilant.

With his reputation on this rotten street, there are still people who are willing to marry him, and there must be a problem!

"Xi'er, tell me what the situation is with the Yao family's daughter."

"The Yao family is gentle, virtuous, virtuous and virtuous, and was even the first talented woman in Bianliang 20 years ago."

Wait, twenty years ago?

He is only eleven years old now, and marrying a talented girl who became famous twenty years ago is not a trouble?
