Chapter 9: Sweet and sour taste
Chu Yun thought about it very seriously and thought about it for a long time since he came to the cottage, Chu Yun now misses the snacks he ate in his previous life, potato chips, soda don't have to think about it, ice cream, chocolate is basically no play.
Until today, when he saw the hawthorn eaten by a group of little children in the cottage, Chu Yun couldn't help but think of the sweet and sour taste, that's right, it's a rock sugar gourd, and other snacks can't be eaten by yourself, so this rock sugar gourd is always okay. "Drop! The system prompts, now release the task, the birth of the rock sugar gourd, the task rewards 200 experience points, a chance to draw, and there is no penalty for failure. ”
The last few tasks that Chu Yun completed had already raised Chu Yun's level to the second level, and his strength had increased by 1 point, and now Chu Yun had a total of 5 points of strength. Because the root bone is only 2 points, Chu Yun still can't practice any martial arts, and the system tells Chu Yun that as long as his root bone reaches 15 points, Chu Yun will have the opportunity to start practicing martial arts, so Chu Yun is now crazy to complete the task released by the system.
The hawthorn fruit needed to make rock sugar gourd, in this world they call it "red fruit", for people who live in the mountains, this is simply a zero-cost material, and the back mountain is a large hawthorn forest, and there are as many fresh hawthorn fruits as you want.
Something like hawthorn is a worthless thing for people in the cottage. There is a large area of hawthorn forest in the back mountain, which belongs to the public property of the village, but even if the fruit is ripe every year, no one will pick it, this thing is not full, sour, the more you eat, the more hungry you are, and you have lost your teeth when you eat too much, and only those greedy bear children will pick a few when the fruit is ripe every year to satisfy their hunger.
The production of rock sugar gourd is very simple, it doesn't take much preparation time, under Chu Yun's guidance, Yu'er cut all the bamboo cut by Chu Yun from the mountain into bamboo skewers of similar size, the edges are polished smooth, the bottom of the bamboo skewers is slightly wider, which is more suitable for hand holding, and after the hawthorn fruit is seeded and wrapped in syrup, it is dipped in a little sesame seeds at the top, and Wan Hong is a little white from it, which looks more attractive.
Chu Yun saw the bear child next to him grunting and swallowing saliva, Chu Yun's face showed a happy smile, took a sugar gourd and handed it to him, and by the way, he gently kicked the bear child on the ass and said, "Go home and eat." ”
There are no airtight walls in this world, and there are no secrets in anyone's house in the cottage. Soon, everyone knew what this new aunt was making, what kind of rock sugar gourd was called, a few bunches of hawthorn fruits were strung together, and then the boiled syrup was wrapped, and it was slowly wrapped evenly, and it could be eaten after it dried, and the taste was sweet and sour, and it tasted indescribably good.
Chu Yun handed one to Yu'er, Yu'er gently took a bite of the rock sugar gourd, a trace of intoxication and surprise flashed on her face, she glanced down at the rock sugar gourd in her hand, and muttered: "En~~ It's delicious, this rock sugar gourd made by my uncle is sweet and sour, and the sugar coating on the outside is crisp and delicious, I really can't imagine it, this red fruit actually has such a novel method, it's delicious~~." Auntie is so good."
Chu Yun smiled and said to Yu'er, "Take a bunch and give it to my lady to eat." Yu'er took the rock sugar gourd handed by Chu Yun, and trotted away happily, and after a while, Kung Fu Yu'er took the rock sugar gourd and entered Liu Xiangji's room, Liu Xiangchen was looking into the distance in a daze at this time, and saw Yu'er coming in with a string of rock sugar gourds or something, "This is the rock sugar gourd that my uncle gave you, this thing is delicious." ”
Liu Xiangchen took the rock sugar gourd in Yu'er's hand, looked at it, put it in his mouth and bit it gently, and suddenly his mouth was full of shengjing, sweet and sour, delicious, Liu Xiangzhen tasted the peculiar taste in his mouth carefully, and his curiosity and goodwill towards Chu Yun increased by one percent.
"How's my uncle doing these days?" Liu Xiangchen ate a rock sugar gourd and asked Yu'er, "Well, the injuries on my uncle's body and face are much better, and the doctor in the village said that my uncle is fine." Yu'er also took a bite of the rock sugar gourd in her hand and said.
"Uncle will get up early in the morning and run around the village these days." "Run?" Liu Xiangchen asked curiously, "Well, my uncle will go out early in the morning and run slowly around the cottage, saying that he is exercising, and my uncle will sometimes do strange things in the room." Yu'er pushed forward with a rock sugar gourd in both hands, and said with a little face full of doubts, "Lying on the ground, this is how I slowly pushed myself up, and my uncle also said that he was exercising, Yu'er just felt so strange." ”
Chu Yun was stimulated, if he was replaced by his previous self, he was too lazy to get up so early, and he went to run and do push-ups, it was better to sleep more, Chu Yun was doing this every day now, and he was stimulated by what happened today and his own bones that only had 1 point.
Imagining what Chu Yun looked like when he made this move, the two of them suddenly had a question mark on their faces in the room, and then Liu Xiangchen shook his head and said lightly: "Exercise, let him be, is there anything else?" Yu'er shook her cute little head slightly.
Chu Yun's life is very boring, and now although he says that he has a rock sugar gourd to eat, he is not tired of eating too much of this thing. To put it nicely, Chu Yun is now living a leisurely life, in addition to running every day and standing up, he is playing backgammon with the little girl Yu'er, occasionally practicing calligraphy, and looking at the ancient books in the cottage, although it cannot be compared with modern novels in terms of entertainment, but he has always been a person who can endure this kind of monotony, and since he has come here, he will face it calmly.
Backgammon is also easy to play, and it is not difficult to be proficient, Yu'er quickly learned and became a master, in the next few days, when Chu Yun played with her again, it was always a situation of more losses and fewer wins, and this kind of entertainment was "infected" to the village at a very fast speed, and now the little children are also less fighting, and sometimes they sit together in groups of three or five.
At this time, Chu Yun didn't know that he had become a treasure in the hearts of some people, and when he had dinner, Liu Xiangji had not come back, and when Chu Yun asked Yu'er, he got the reply that the big boss often did this, and the little maid Yu'er was also used to it.
Chu Yun didn't have too much to worry about Liu Xiangji, he could smash the sturdy solid mahogany table with one palm, he was really a hero among heroes, and he would not encounter any danger under normal circumstances. It's just that this often disappears silently, and it's really not a good habit, Chu Yun shook his head helplessly, and stopped thinking about it.
Because I was thinking about things, I didn't notice the willow scent marks that came in, and I couldn't catch off guard and collided with the willow scent marks, which was soft, and I smelled a familiar fragrance between my noses. Liu Xiangchen looked up at her, frowned and said lightly: "Why is Xianggong so distracted?" ”
Chu Yun looked up and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw blood oozing out of the cuffs of Liu Xiangji's cuffs where he had just hit him, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Hurriedly grabbed Liu Xiangji's hand and asked anxiously, "Why are you injured?" Liu Xiang withdrew her hand without a trace, smiled faintly, and said, "It's just a small injury, it's nothing." ”
"So much blood has been shed, what's not in the way!" Chu Yun frowned slightly, grabbed Liu Xiangji's hand again, and strode towards the house. "Yu'er, go boil some boiling water, and bring the little wooden box in my room by the way." Soon, Chu Yun's voice came out of the house.
Yu'er answered and trotted to the kitchen to boil water. Being gently dragged into the house by Chu Yun like this, Liu Xiangchen opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Inside the house, Chu Yun carefully grabbed Liu Xiangji's arm and untied the strip of cloth she bandaged at will, seeing that there was a wound more than two inches long that was still oozing blood on it, Chu Yun gasped in distress.
"How did this hurt?" Looking at Liu Xiangchen distressedly and asked, Liu Xiangchen on the side, after looking at the wound and then at Chu Yun, a cold light flashed in his beautiful eyes, and he looked at Chu Yun gently and said, "It's okay, it's just a moment of negligence, underestimating the strength of the other party, and it won't be in the future." Liu Xiangchen didn't want Chu Yun to worry, and said that Chu Yun was a person who had no power to restrain the chicken, what could he help himself?
The most important thing at this moment is not how Liu Xiangji was injured, treating the wound is the most important thing, there were no antibiotics in ancient times, in case the wound was infected and the condition worsened, there was no treatment at all, almost just lying down and waiting for death, and countless people died of wound infection every year.
I don't know where I found this piece of cloth, Chu Yun saw that it was not very clean, and the wound had not been disinfected, so why not be so hasty!
"Uncle, the water is boiling!" It didn't take long for the little girl Yu'er to run in with a clean copper basin. The conditions are limited and there are no things for disinfection, Chu Yun remembered the task of the rock sugar gourd that day and rewarded himself with a chance to draw a lottery, Chu Yun got up and said to Liu Xiangchen that he went to the room to cancel the poisoned things, Liu Xiangchen looked at Chu Yun curiously and nodded, "Disinfected things" I am not poisoned? Liu Xiangji thought strangely in her heart.
Chu Yun hurriedly came to the room, "I want to draw a lottery, can I specify the items for the lottery?" The system said lightly, "Yes, but you have to pay the corresponding experience points as bargaining chips, and the disinfectant drug that the host wants to smoke requires 500 experience points, is the host sure to draw it?" Chu Yun nodded firmly, and after Chu Yun paid 500 experience points, Chu Yun drew the disinfectant as he wished.
When Chu Yun returned to Liu Xiangchen with the disinfectant, Liu Xiangchen asked Chu Yun with doubts, Chu Yun asked Yu'er to throw a clean towel into the pot and boil it, while wiping the disinfectant for Liu Xiangchen while explaining the function and function of the disinfectant potion, Liu Xiangchen didn't understand and simply let Chu Yun help him disinfect his wounds, there was no medical bandage, Chu Yun could only use gauze boiled in boiling water instead, from beginning to end, Liu Xiangchen just looked at Chu Yun quietly and did not speak.
People who practice martial arts, there are countless bumps and bumps on weekdays, and there are common things. However, her physique is far beyond ordinary people, even if it is a sword injury, it can heal quickly, such a small injury, Liu Xiangji didn't pay attention to it at all.
But at this moment, Chu Yun's serious appearance did not allow him to say the words of refusal that he was about to say. This method of treating wounds was the first time she had seen it in her life, although she didn't know why she wanted to clean the wound with antiseptic potion, and this disinfectant potion was the first time she had seen it. And the gauze that bandaged the wound seemed to be something special, but for Chu Yun, Liu Xiangchen was very relieved in her heart.
And this feeling of being taken care of has not been experienced by me for a long time. It turned out that Chu Yun's worries were completely unnecessary, and the speed at which Liu Xiangjian's wound recovered far exceeded his imagination. This made him extremely suspicious in his heart, is her body structure different from others, such a long opening, half a month of hard work can heal without leaving any scars, is this still a human being?
Of course, the relationship between himself and Liu Xiangchen is not yet to the extent that they can study each other's body structure, and this kind of nominal husband and wife relationship is probably unique in the village. But is there that relationship, Liu Xiangji is still his own lady, and he is still Liu Xiangchen's "boss of the village", but why do you always think this title is weird? Chu Yun shook his head helplessly.
