Chapter 16 Drying tangerine peel
It was also Tang and Rou's luck, if the three of them were more complicated, and they couldn't be treated with a lack of medicine and medicine, even if they accepted their things, they would have a guilty conscience.
The fat aunt's back pain cannot be relieved by acupuncture alone, and it has to be massaged.
Tang Yourou took her to the house and spread a layer of linen clothes on the straw mat: "Fat aunt, you are lying on your stomach, I will press it for you, and it will be fine in a while." β
The fat aunt just lay down, covered her nose and quickly sat up again, and said in disgust: "Ouch, soft girl, what does this dress smell like." You're too unsophisticated......"
Isn't that just musty?
Tang Yourou was a little embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.
The fat aunt took her hand and said distressedly: "It's not that my aunt said that you have silver in your hands, so hurry up and buy everything that should be added." Don't ask your younger siblings to follow you through this kind of hard life! If your grandmother comes to cheat you again, come and tell your aunt! β
It's natural.
Tang Yourou's consumption concept is completely different from Shen Qiuyue's, and if you have money in your hand, you should spend it to improve the quality of life. Once life is good, the money spent on seeing a doctor and buying medicine can be saved, and if the nutrition keeps up, the ears and eyes are clear, and even the work efficiency will be greatly improved.
In fact, if she hadn't made an appointment with the villagers to see a doctor today, she would probably have brought her younger brothers and sisters back to buy the supplies she needed.
Wait for tomorrow, she must go to the county seat!
After all, the fat aunt endured the musty smell and lay down on the straw mat.
Tang and Rou began to massage.
In fact, she mainly focused on Western medicine in her previous life, but her sister had a rare disease and the pain all over her body was unbearable. The relatives and elders in the family are all medical doctors and medical doctors, but they can't find a way to root their heads, so they can only use painkillers to relieve her symptoms.
But if the painkiller is used for a long time, it will become addictive and the effect of the medicine will be weakened. Tang Yourou felt sorry for her sister and was in too much pain, so she taught herself Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and by the way, she also learned massage.
It's a pity that her sister died of illness when she was ten years old, which became a lingering knot in her heart. For nearly a decade, she used the influence of her medical family to search for sick people from all over the world to conduct scientific research and try to find a cure.
At last...... Her research was about to come to fruition, but her fiancΓ© pushed her from the cruise ship into the sea and drowned.
So when she was reborn in this world, she saw that Tang Youniang who was drowned was also ten years old, and the memories of the two lives before and after intersected in her heart, and she desperately wanted to save Tang Youniang. didn't care about the docile and well-behaved character of the original owner, and questioned Tang Zhuangyuan in public, wanting to directly split up to get rid of this group of relatives and elders who would only exploit and bully them.
broke out in public, justified, and the people in the village did not wonder why Tang and the soft love changed greatly, but when she was too distressed by her sister, she finally broke out the past grievances.
Of course, because of the name of the calamity, various families have mixed reviews of her outburst. A few people think that the Tang family is not kind, and most people think that Tang and Rou deserve it.
This is not something that Tang and Rou can interfere with.
But she still has to clear her stigma as soon as possible and have a good relationship with most of the people in the village, so as to save herself from being bullied by the Tang family in case she encounters any emergency.
She used the strength of her palm and body to push the fat aunt's damaged psoas muscles, and she heard the fat aunt keep calling: "Ouch, ouch, soft girl, you are too powerful, my old waist!" It's so comfortable! β
Tang Yourou said with a smile: "Fat aunt, on weekdays, go out of the house to bask in the sun, walk around, not only your waist will be good, but your hands and feet will be light." β
The fat aunt said: "Okay! I'll come to you every day from now on! β
Tang & Rou: "......"
Oh, you don't have to walk around here.
Outside the house, Tang Youniang and Tang Douer picked another basket of orange peels and returned to the yard.
Tang Youniang was talking to her younger brother: "My sister used to know how to heal, and she said that what we are drying now is called 'tangerine peel'." β
Tang Douer said: "My sister is really powerful, but how did she learn it?" β
Tang Youniang said: "Of course someone taught her!" Do you want to learn too? β
Tang Douer said: "I want to learn to catch birds from Uncle Ah Jin!" The sparrows are so delicious, I want to eat grilled sparrows! β
The sun was shining, and the two children were sweating profusely as they carried baskets full of orange peels.
Tang Yourou heard their voices, and saw that they were not suspicious of her sudden medical skills, and thought that they were just children, and they were very easy to fool, so they didn't intervene to explain, but shouted from the house: "The fat aunt brought us red bean soup to drink, I have already drunk it, and you can share the bowl." β
The two children screamed and thanked each other, drank a bowl of red bean soup separately, and licked the bowl at the end.
If this kind of thing was placed in the Tang family, it would probably be scolded to death by Mrs. Tang.
The Tang family is going to be the champion, how can the children of the Tang family lick the bowl?
Tang and Rou were too lazy to criticize.
Later, when she gets the silver, she will let her younger brothers and sisters eat enough, and it will be too late to teach etiquette.
The red bean soup was filled with honey, and Tang Douer praised this as the best red bean soup he had ever drunk, and even the young lady was happily jumping in the yard.
The fat aunt was very happy, and babbled to Tang Yourou about how to make this red bean soup, how much honey to add, and how to remove the impurities on it. When the massage was over, she ran home and brought them a whole pot of red bean soup and a basket of charcoal that she had promised before.
Tang and Rou were busy cleaning up orange peels in the yard, listening to the fat aunt and younger siblings chattering while drinking red bean soup.
Rao is Tang Dou'er is so lively, the fat aunt can only hear Tang Dou'er say a word when she says three words alone, and Tang Youniang is mostly silent.
Tang Yourou picked out the unqualified orange peels, threw them to the chicken pen for the chickens to eat, washed the remaining orange peels one by one, and then pulled the straw mats that Tang Douer had made up to sell for money, and spread a layer of orange peels on them.
The fat aunt couldn't help but inquire and asked, "Rou girl, what are you doing picking so many orange peels?" β
Tang Yourou didn't hide his selfishness, and said: "If it is dried, it can be made into tangerine peel to make tea and drink, and it can be used for my younger brother to nourish his stomach." These seem like a lot, but they don't have much to dry, and it's just a basket. β
The fat aunt asked again: "How long will this take to dry?" β
Tang Yourou replied with a smile: "It can be eaten for at least three months, and it can be used as medicine after one year of exposure." β
The best Chinese medicinal materials take a long time to process, and tangerine peel, the simplest thing, needs nature and time to change the substance in it.
The fat aunt curiously picked up a few orange peels and asked, "How do you dry it?" Is it the same as drying millet? β
Tang Yourou replied: "Every day, we have to look through to see if there is mold and rot, and we must also prevent flies, if it is moldy or drenched with rain on the way, it will not be able to be used." This dried noodles are also very particular, you have to first put the white noodles up, wait for them to dry thoroughly, and then turn them over. The tangerine peel should be turned twice a year within five years, and only once after five years. β
The fat aunt was shocked by the time of drying tangerine peel, as if she was remembering Tang and Rou's words, and said: "Why didn't you dry it before, you can only use medicine after a year, this time is too long!" β
"I didn't have a place before, and my grandparents didn't believe that I could heal. If it weren't for the drowning of the young lady this time, I wouldn't have been like this, we really can't find a way to live......," Tang and Rou Shun panicked, "And orange peels only ripen after autumn, and late autumn and early winter are the best times to dry tangerine peels." β
The fat aunt sighed with emotion and opened her eyes, took the empty kettle and left, and when she left, she seemed to be still reciting the tangerine peel drying method that Tang and Rou said.
After she left, Tang Dou'er and Tang Youniang squatted on the side, staring at the work in Tang Yourou's hands, frowning, and not speaking.
Tang Yourou looked at his younger siblings suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
