Chapter 49: Candy

The eldest grandson took Li Kuan and Li Lizhi to get out of the carriage, and the little Lori ran straight towards Li Er, the two ponytails swayed around behind the little head, swaying rhythmically with her calves, shouting as she ran: "Father, Lizhi is here again!" Is Auntie alright? Lizin is here to give her a shir! ”

Li Kuan staggered, almost didn't stand firm, this little girl really took his words as a golden rule, and she was still whirring! The eldest grandson hurriedly helped him: "Erlang is fine!" It's slippery in the snow, so be careful! ”

"Thank you, Concubine!" Li Kuan thanked the eldest grandson, and then stood firm.

The two followed the bouncing little Lori to the compound of the Tai Hospital. Little Lori was already in Li Er's arms, and at this time she was blinking at the white-bearded old man on the side with big eyes: "Grandpa Whitebeard, do you want to give Lizhi a bitter medicine?" Can I skip it? Lizhi will be very well-behaved and not sick. "I'm afraid that the little girl has drunk a big vat of herbs over the years, and she really doesn't want to drink that black bitter medicine anymore. In the past, when such a white-bearded old man appeared, he must have been cured, and then he drank medicine, and Li Lizhi was afraid when he saw Sun Simiao.

"Lizhi, this is Grandpa Sun Simiao, the most famous doctor, he will definitely cure Liqin! But Lizhi still has to drink medicine obediently, otherwise she won't be able to play with her second brother if she gets sick! Li Er was the most spoiled by Li Liqian, and stretched out his hand to scrape her little nose.

"But the medicine is so bitter, Lizhi wants to eat candy!" Little Lori is full of fantasies about the candy that the second brother said, that sweet, fragrant, and beautiful candy. But the second brother has always just said that he has never seen it. Only the boiled slimy sugar paste, sticky in the mouth, not delicious at all.

"Candy?" Li Er has never heard of this thing, he can be regarded as well-informed, he has also traveled all over the land in this pass, and he almost knows what is in any place, why haven't he heard of candy, what kind of fruit is this? Is it the same thing as these fruits of Li Ji?

"What the second brother said, it's sweet, sweeter than sugar paste!" Little Lori tried her best to describe the lollipops, marshmallows, and mouths that Li Kuan had told her, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva from time to time.

"This ......" Li Er was speechless, since it was Li Kuan who said it, then it must be something that the scientist made up. This difficult question is still left to Li Kuan to answer himself: "Kuan'er, can you tell me what kind of fruit this candy is?" ”

"Back to my father, candy is actually a kind of sugar, and like the current syrup, it is a very sweet food! It's just that compared with the sugar boiling method passed down from Tianzhu, the sugar boiling method can only make zuò out of syrup, and can no longer let the sugar solidify, as long as the syrup is solidified and made into various shapes, it is scalded. Li Kuan racked his brains and always remembered that he could also make sugar at this time, but it was slimy and not very sweet.

"Then you can get some for Liz! She has been drinking medicine since she was a child, and she is really afraid to drink! The eldest grandson looked at the little Lori who swallowed saliva distressedly and said loudly.

"Well, kid think of a way!" Li Kuan really didn't know if the candy could be exchanged for huàn, so he thought about it, and called the system in his heart: "System, can you redeem huàn candy?" ”

"Candy is not redeemable!" For the first time, the system gave an unqualifying reply.

"Why?" Li Kuan was puzzled.

"Because the system judges that the current social productive forces cannot solve the problem of sugar coagulation within 50 years, they can only boil out syrup!" The system coldly gave the answer: "The host can make candy by mixing it with more advanced sugar making technology." ”

"How many energy points do you want?" Li Kuan felt that he was going to be pitted by the system again.

"Eight million!"

"Nani! So much, brewing is only 10 million, and with a distillation technology, it costs 8 million to boil a sugar cube? Li Kuan hesitated, what he can use freely now is about three million left, and it won't cost eight million to eat a candy: "Forget it, I don't believe that without Zhang Butcher, you can still eat hairy pigs?" I'm sure I'll be able to make candy! By the way, rock sugar gourds don't seem to need lumps of sugar! That's it! ”

The child thought about it, although the teacher did not teach the child how to make sugar, but now it is not possible to make zuò syrup? The child thinks of something else that can be eaten as candy! Li Kuan remembered something in his memory, that thing can definitely be made!

"Really? What needs to be done? The eldest grandson hurriedly asked. Every time she saw Li Lizhi drinking medicine, she felt uncomfortable, and she felt that she and her husband had done too many hurtful things to make her daughter suffer. Thinking of the soldiers who died on the battlefield, the displaced people, and the nameless corpses on the roadside, the eldest grandson felt that this was a sin committed by the Li family, but what could she do? If there is no Li family, there will be the Zhang family and the Qian family. No one can avoid war in this world, but this time it is their own family that occupies the world, so they should bear these sins.

To put it bluntly, the eldest grandson is actually a woman who grew up in a feudal family, no matter how much she has the means and scheming, she will even be a generation of virtuous queens in the future, but the health of her children still can't be separated, and she can only attribute it to the sins of their family fighting for the world in her heart.

"Mother, in fact, this thing is very simple, it is in the hospital!" Li Kuan said.

"What, it's not all medicinal herbs here, how can there be candy?" Both Changsun and Li Er were a little surprised.

"Actually, this thing is a kind of medicinal herb, but when paired with syrup, it is also a kind of candy! This is a very unique medicinal material, even if you eat it directly, you will not think of it as medicine, but as a wild fruit. Li Kuan continued.

"You're talking about hawthorn?" Sun Simiao, who was on the side, didn't interject, and when he saw these two adults asking the children for advice, he also came interested and watched from the side.

"This is Grandpa Sun! The boy Li Kuan has seen Grandpa Sun, the kid's body is weak, and he will have Grandpa Lao Sun to help him take a look later! Li Kuan bowed to Sun Simiao.

"That's easy to say, is what the old man said right just now? This hawthorn does taste good, but eating too much hurts your stomach! If you take it after drinking the medicine, I'm afraid there will be side effects, so don't eat it indiscriminately! "Sun Simiao is worthy of studying medicine, and he is right.

"It's really hawthorn, this is a medicinal herb, but it tastes good, and it is suitable for children's taste, if you wrap it on the surface with a layer of syrup, it will definitely be more delicious!" Li Kuan smiled brightly at Sun Simiao, obviously what this old gentleman said hurt his stomach or anything like that.

"Hawthorn wrapped in syrup? That's a good idea, but it's not easy to take the round hawthorn after it's wrapped in syrup! Li Er also knew about this kind of wild fruit in the mountains, and he had eaten a lot of it even many years ago.

"Put on a bamboo stick, don't you!" Li Kuan said the solution.

"It's really doable! I'll tell my subordinates to do it, and you can eat it after you check your body later!" As he spoke, the eldest grandson instructed the people around him.

"Not now, this hawthorn as a medicinal herb is a dried fruit, and it is not delicious to eat it directly like this. However, there should be many people in Chang'an who have storage, this thing is consumed, poor people can't afford to buy syrup, and this is what makes snacks for children! Although Sun Simiao is not from Chang'an, he has been lingering in the depths of the Qinling Mountains for a long time to collect medicines, and he still knows a lot about Chang'an, which is not far from the Qinling Mountains.

"This thing is spread in the people's homes, and when the time comes, those of us who think we are high will not care!" The eldest grandson felt that this noble identity was nothing, and he didn't even know these little things. Where would she have thought that even if she couldn't eat on weekdays, there would be a royal doctor to come to diagnose and treat, and even if hawthorn was used for royal treatment, it was already dried fruit, and she couldn't see the original appearance, and there was no sweet and sour taste when boiled in medicine.

"Then ask someone to ask, go and buy, in short, you must eat this syrup hawthorn today!" Li Er spoke, and the guards who were on the side as pillars agreed loudly, and then some people strode away, and there was a long neighing of horses and the sound of horses' hooves fading away from outside the courtyard.

"Okay, now I want to trouble Mr. Sun to help Shimin's two sons and daughters check it, the two little ones have been weak and sick since they were children, and they have been relying on decoction to maintain themselves! This time, Mr. Sun bothered! Li Er said, put the little Lori down, and then bowed to Sun Simiao with the eldest grandson to thank him, Li Kuan also bowed, although he has found a way to cure himself, but he still respects Sun Simiao, the old way, it is rumored that he lived for more than 140 years, and insisted on treating the people, Li Er even invited him to serve as the head of the Tai Hospital after ascending the throne, but he was refused, and he also wrote the "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" written by his lifelong medical practice to spread widely throughout the world, and his open-mindedness can be seen. Therefore, Li Kuan bowed willingly, and at the same time, he hoped that this person could bring him a detailed health condition of his body. Although the system can scan, it is only coldly healthy: 34 (100) and other numbers, it is not clear exactly what is sick, but it is said that a large amount of food should be taken to replenish blood and qi.

"Oh well! The old man will show the little prince and the little county lord! Let's go first! Although Sun Simiao was a little tired, it took a lot of energy to treat Li Xiuning's wounds before, but the scripture book that Li Er gave him was too valuable, although he was not allowed to pass it on, but it was also human nature. So Sun Simiao still agreed to show the two children.

"Lizhi comes first, let Grandpa Sun take a look!" The eldest grandson pushed the little Lori who was hiding behind her and let her come to Sun Simiao's face.

"Come, old man, take a look, stretch out your hand!" Sun Simiao squatted down and said to Li Liqian with a pleasant face.

"Grandpa won't beat Li's palms, right?" Little Lori put her little hands behind her back and looked at Sun Simiao timidly. Last time, the old man named Kong Yingda was like this, he asked Lizhi to stretch out his hand, and then hit Lizhi's palm, it hurt.

"How come, Lizhi is a good child, the old man just showed Lizhi!" Sun Simiao is very patient, for patients, he is the most patient, many injuries are more private, can not be told to outsiders, as a doctor to gain their trust, so that they do not have a psychological burden to talk about the injury, this is also a very troublesome work.

"Then, grandpa just take a look, okay?" Little Lori timidly stretched out her hand and bargained.

"Okay, the old man will pull Li's little hands, and he won't hurt Lizhi!" Sun Simiao saw the lovely Li Liqian, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, if he hadn't become a monk at the beginning, his great-granddaughter might have been so old!
