Chapter 038: Mints

The middle-aged woman who was sitting in a precarious position was unreserved, and revealed her truest wishes and thoughts, and shed tears: "I am an ominous person, but I beg Daochang Li to let me get rid of this fate and return to a normal life." ”

Li Wenxuan, who heard her repeatedly chanting the words "ominous person", really had to admire that the other party was really an out-and-out Xianglin sister-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. I can feel that the middle-aged woman's life situation is very unsatisfactory. Even if she wasn't at fault, it would be annoying to hear her say the same thing too much.

Li Wenxuan, who knew some of her general situation, knew that she was not a wicked person, but she was not very lucky to live in this era of ignorance and fearful words. The ominous thing about the middle-aged woman is that she not only killed her father-in-law, but also killed the whole family of her husband's family. Although Li Wenxuan felt that this rumor was extremely ridiculous, he couldn't challenge the public's established understanding. He guessed that if he talked about science with the big guys, it would be like a chicken talking to a duck.

After thinking about it, Li Wenxuan had to put on a posture of being a master outside the world and said: "The misfortunes and ups and downs of your life in this half of your life are also the calamities of this life. As long as you are dedicated to the Tao, then God will naturally sense your sincerity. Life in the world is naturally to talk about one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue, five reading, six seven phases and eight gods, nine nobles and ten health. Although life cannot be changed, the nine things behind it can be changed. Since you and I are destined, then I might as well get up and turn the altar for you. However, whether this can be done depends on whether your heart is pious enough. ”

The middle-aged woman, who was grateful, hurriedly took out the muslin white handkerchief that was close to her. She put all the silver coins wrapped in her handkerchief on the stone table, and slowly unfolded it: "There is Lao Li Dao Chang bothering. If it's not enough, I'll borrow it again. ”

Li Wenxuan, who noticed that there were about seven or eight taels of silver in the handkerchief, believed that this should be all she had to save on weekdays. If you really don't have the heart and liver to accept it all, it's really too much. He is not the kind of man who can't see the poor have enough to eat, let alone an "iron climbing plow" like Zhou Papi, so he didn't plan to ask for her silver money and said: "It seems that you don't understand what I mean." Whether there is sincerity or not is not just a matter of money, but of your heart. Take your stuff away quickly. ”

The confused middle-aged woman saw for the first time that the Taoist priest did not accept sesame oil money, so her eyes unconsciously looked at Zhao Tian'er who was standing next to her. With a kind smile on her face, the little girl took the initiative to take two steps forward, and re-wrapped the other party's money and handed it into the hands of the middle-aged woman. He focuses on helping the world and saving people, rather than coveting the yellow and white things in the world. Auntie, you can go back with peace of mind! ”

The middle-aged woman who stood up fell to the ground and bowed, after all, she felt that Li Wenxuan in front of her was not only really a cultivator, but also already shining. Sitting on the stone bench, his thoughts were very different from hers. Li Wenxuan, who is not high at all and loves money very much, really can't put his mind on the idea of beating the poor. If the person in front of him is replaced by a noble lady, he will find a way, like chewing gum sticking to his hair, so that the other party will keep taking out the money.

Li Wenxuan didn't give Zhao Tian'er a send-off look or action, and the middle-aged woman was beaten away. I felt that her situation was very special, so I personally sent her out of my house with the little girl. The three or five hundred who had gathered outside the gate had not dispersed one by one. When they saw Li Wenxuan, it was like a fan seeing an idol in their hearts, and their calm emotions were instantly ignited.

Li Wenxuan naturally would not let go of this "exposure rate", and deliberately raised his voice to the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, you are a kind person who never does evil, so there should be no such bad encounters." Now that you have a good relationship in your past life, you are no longer an ominous person. For this reason, I will choose a zodiac auspicious altar for you to tell the heavens to know the way. ”

The grateful middle-aged woman felt that she was being treated like a human being. Her tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, and she didn't care at all that there were still a large number of people who were already kneeling on their knees when they looked at her, and kowtowed in admiration: "Daochang Li, you must have been sent by Master Zhang Tianshi to send mortal dust to rescue me and other suffering immortals." ”

Li Wenxuan, who seemed very calm, said calmly: "Auntie, you are really too famous. The middle-aged woman who slowly stood up again was once again supported by Zhao Tian'er. She stepped back, and kept making sincere gestures to him.

The feet of the crowd kept surging forward, and they all shouted in unison: "Immortal Li, help me." Li Wenxuan, who didn't say anything, stepped into the gate with a rather fluttering movement, and it took a lot of effort to catch his own people, holding hands to delay the people rushing forward.

Zhao Tian'er, who was standing on the platform, said loudly: "Today's quota is over." On the first day of the next month, come again! After speaking, she stepped into the threshold of her own house.

Li Wenxuan, who was leaning against the wall, was worried that the crowd outside the door was out of control, and said eagerly: "Tian'er, hurry up and close the door." Zhao Tian'er, who didn't have time to think about it, followed his wishes, and quickly closed the two doors of his house with a quick movement of his hands.

She plugged in the latch tightly, leaned her back against the door reflexively, gently patted her heart with the palm of her right hand, and said, "The big guy is so enthusiastic." How many more would you look at? ”

Li Wenxuan, who had moved his steps, came to her and smiled lightly: "What you said is really stupid and naΓ―ve. Even if I take the trouble to see ten more, can you guarantee that they will retreat? The answer is no. First, the rules cannot be changed overnight; The second is that those who come to the outer gate and do not fulfill their wishes are always very eager to come in. Unless I fulfill their wishes, this will be good to you, good to me, and good to everyone. However, in fact it is not possible. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who was listening to the miscellaneous shouts outside the door, said with an embarrassed face: "What should I do?" ”

Li Wenxuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do whatever you should do?" As for the outside affairs, you don't have to worry about it, so naturally it will be handled by our group of people who eat imperial food. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, looked at the situation outside through the crack in the door and said, "Aren't you worried that they will smash open the door of our house and rush in?" ”

"If anyone dares to come in uninvited, then I won't accept his request." Li Wenxuan smiled disappreciatively and said, "Besides, you still have to believe that everyone outside the door has not lost their minds, and they still have a sense of proportion in their hearts." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who let out a long sigh, walked inward with Li Wenxuan. He asked the little girl to turn over her jar of white sugar and rock sugar, and then handed it to himself. Li Wenxuan, who was holding a jar in his left and right hands, kicked open the door of the alchemy room with his right foot, and walked straight in. He put the two jars on the table, and then did not grab the medicine to make the "Golden Throat Throat Treasure", but pulled out the small drawer above the medicine shelf and grabbed out the mint leaves, after all, he promised to make mints for Zhao Tian'er to eat.

He has been making Chinese patent medicines for a long time, and he doesn't think it is difficult to make mints. Li Wenxuan, who lit the alchemy furnace, first mashed the mint leaves, then poured half a jar of about a pound of white sugar into the alchemy furnace, and added a little water after the alchemy furnace. When you boil it over low heat until it is thicker, you add the mashed mint leaves and slowly stir it with a special peach stick in your hand.

Li Wenxuan, who had been observing the changes in the stove, continued to suffer until he used the peach stick in his hand to pick up the sticky matter inside and make it filamentous and not sticky, and then extinguished the fire in the stove. Hurriedly running out of the alchemy room, he brought a small half bowl of rapeseed oil and a large enamel plate from the kitchen.

With these two things in hand, Li Wenxuan, who returned to the alchemy room, poured the sugar into a large enamel plate coated with cooking oil on the surface, patiently waited for it to be a little cold, and then divided the sugar into small strips. Picking up a piece of mint candy, he tried it first, and the refreshing and cool taste was really good. I thought that if summer came in another two months, I would put it in water to melt and become cold and drink it, and I would definitely feel comfortable all over.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, mints are not just a type of sugar, but can be used to treat wind and heat syndromes. The mint in this sugar dissolves the surface and dissipates the wind, dissipates heat and sweats; White sugar clears heat and improves throat, and is used to make a prescription for dispelling wind and heat and improving throat. A small amount of peppermint can still relieve liver stagnation, and it is also quite suitable for liver stagnation and qi stagnation.

Although Zhao Tianer first saw Li Wenxuan busy, she didn't have time to care about what he was doing. After he had finished cooking, he walked into the alchemy room with great interest to see what was going on.

Seeing Li Wenxuan, who walked in, he said happily: "Come, how about trying my skills?" ”

Zhao Tian'er, who saw the small crystal clear strips jumping on the plate, was not in a hurry to make a move, and asked very curiously, "What is this?" ”

"This is the mint I made for you personally." Li Wenxuan, who had a piece of mint candy in his mouth, smiled.

He picked up a piece of mint candy in his right hand and fed it into Zhao Tian'er's mouth. It was the first time in her life that she had eaten this kind of thing, and she felt very novel. As soon as I drank the wind, I immediately felt cold in my mouth. At this time, Zhao Tianer not only felt that the mints were delicious, but also quite fun.

Li Wenxuan saw her with a happy expression on her face and said, "It tastes good!" Zhao Tianer, who nodded at the little head melon, smiled and said "mmmmmmmmmm

Li Wenxuan, who has never liked sweets, pulled his fingers and said, "All the mints here belong to you." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who jumped up happily, slapped her face and smiled: "I'm so happy, it's all mine." ”
