Chapter 422: Mess
"Plum blossoms?" He was a little surprised: "What are you doing with these petals?" ”
"Of course I'm useful!" Qingwan smiled: "You just wait and see!" ”
After saying that, he picked up the bag and went into the house.
Hanjuan followed: "Hey, what do you want to do?" Tell me what is so mysterious! ”
"You'll know when I'm done." Qingwan smiled and gently pushed her out, not that she wanted to pretend to be mysterious, but wanted to finish it quietly by herself, otherwise, as soon as someone disturbed, it was inevitable that the process would be missed, after all, it was the first time, and she was not familiar with the production method.
She remembered all the recipes in the space book, so she didn't have to look at them anymore. Following the method in the book, she moved her hands.
It wasn't until sunset that four bottles were made.
The plum paste is no longer a bright red color, but a faint pink, revealing a faint fragrance. Although the fragrance and color are much lighter than the petals, but very delicate, Qingwan tried to wipe a little on the hand, as soon as it touched, it felt cold to the touch, after a while, the skin seemed to be much moisturized, showing a sense of brightness.
Although after this period of maintenance and conditioning, Qingwan's skin is much better, white and delicate, and it can be broken by blowing, but because of the recent hard work, the skin on the hands has become rough, it seems that the magic formula in this space is working, just rubbing it so little, there will be obvious effects immediately.
Qingwan was a little excited in her heart, if she continued like this, she could test all the recipes in that book in the future, and she would definitely be able to make more skin care products!
To say that Qingwan was also a skin care expert in his previous life, he still knows a lot about this knowledge. It's just that when she got here, the material conditions were really scarce, so she had no choice.
Now that's good. The magic formula in that space, the raw materials are mostly easy to get, and there is no need to worry about skin care products anymore!
Qingwan put the bottle away, took a bottle out, and shook it in front of her mother and eldest sister: "Look, what is this?" ”
"Isn't it just a bottle?" Hanjuan has been listless lately, "You worked hard all afternoon to get such a little thing out?" ”
"There are a few more bottles, four in total." Qingwan opened the cap of the bottle as she spoke, and picked out a little with her fingernails, "Sister, you try, it's very moisturizing!" ”
"I don't" Han Juan was dismissive, but before she finished speaking, she was attracted by the faint fragrance: "This smell is so good!" But it is lighter than the fragrance of flower petals. ”
"You don't care so much, as long as it's easy to use." Qingwan wiped a little on the eldest sister's cheek, "How is it?" ”
"Really!" Han Juan looked excited and stroked her cheeks: "I feel a lot more tender, it's cold these days, and my skin is dry and rough." She happily snatched it up: "This bottle is mine!" ”
Qingwan looked at her helplessly: "I said it all, there are several bottles, look at you like that!" ”
"You can do it again, anyway, there are a lot of plum blossoms now." Hanjuan said nonchalantly.
"Mother, you can use some too." Qingwan turned around and took out another bottle, and said distressedly: "Look at your skin, what is it thick?" ”
"It's okay, farmer, it's windy and sunny, which one isn't like this?" Although He said this, he also took the bottle and sniffed it curiously.
"It's because it's rough that you have to take good care of it. Besides, it doesn't cost money, what do you feel sorry for? Qingwan picked a little, wiped it on her mother's cheek, and said with a smile: "How is it?" My daughter is doing well, isn't she? ”
"You little clever ghost!" He Shi smiled: "I really feel a lot more comfortable!" ”
"That's it!" Qingwan stuffed the bottle into her mother's hand, "Make it when you're done!" ”
"Someone! Come on, people! It's on fire! Let's put out the fire! ”
"Ahh Help me! Run! ”
There were bursts of loud shouts outside, the mother and daughter were excited, Qingwan immediately ran out of the door, and sure enough, he saw the flames soaring into the sky, bursts of smoke rolling over the village, adults and children crying wolves, a chaos!
"What's wrong? What's wrong? The mother and daughter of the He family also hurried out and looked in the direction of the fire with a nervous look.
"I don't know whose house is on fire." Hanjuan was anxious, "I'll take a look!" ”
"Hey!" Qingwan grabbed her anxiously, "Are you stupid?" The fire hasn't been extinguished yet, so what are you running for? It's not too late to wait for the fire to be saved! ”
He also reacted at this time, one in each hand, holding his two daughters tightly, for fear that as soon as he let go, he would disappear in front of him.
Not far away, two children with gray faces ran over, and Qingwan hurriedly stepped forward to stop them: "Hey, whose house is on fire?" Did you know? ”
"It's Li" The two children were so frightened that they couldn't speak, "It's Li Wuwen's family!" ”
"Huh?" Suddenly hearing this news, Qingwan's mind suddenly went blank, and it took a long time to wake up. He was still tugging at the sleeves of the two children's shirts in his hands, and he forgot to let go.
"Sister Wei, Sister Wei, what's wrong with you? Let us go! The two children hurried to her.
"Oh," Qingwan let go of her hand abruptly, but hurriedly asked, "Did you see it?" Is it true? How did you catch fire so well? Are the people of the Li family in danger? ”
When the two children said these words, they still had palpitations: "Of course it's true!" Can this still lie? Isn't it his family? We don't know exactly how the fire started, but we saw the fire coming up, and I heard that the uncle of the Li family was still inside, and I don't know if it came out."
Hearing this, even He Shi and Hanjuan's faces turned pale, and the two children pointed in the direction of the Li family and said, "Sister Wei, look, now that the fire is down, it should be fine, you can go over and see for yourself in a while." ”
After saying that, he ran away.
Qingwan stood there, didn't say a word for a long time, and didn't move a step.
"How so? How did such a fire start? He Shi muttered anxiously, "Girl, you have something to say, don't scare your mother!" ”
Qingwan was called by this, and only then came to her senses, took a deep breath, and calmed down: "Mother, don't worry, I'll go over and take a look." Lo and behold, the fire has been saved. It's not going to be a big deal. Eldest sister, you take good care of your mother at home, and I'll go back when I go. ”
"Second sister, I'll go with you too!" Hanjuan was also anxious.
"Don't go!" Qingwan said categorically, "You don't know, my mother's health is not good, if you go to the fire in a hurry, what can you do when you turn around?" It's okay, you just stay home and wait for my news. ”
After speaking, he hurriedly walked towards Wu Wen's house.
It was still far away from Li's house, and I smelled bursts of choking smoke. Qingwan endured the discomfort and ran straight to Wu Wen's house.
The fire was extinguished in time, and they were all saved by this time. At the door of Li's house, there were naturally a lot of people around.
Li Zheng was also here, and he was directing the rest of the affairs with a dozen strong laborers in the village, and everyone was talking about it, all showing regret and horror.
The living conditions of Wu Wen's family have always been good, and the three large tiled houses built are also good houses in the village.
Qingwan pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, and when he saw the house burned down like this, his heart sank instantly.
She glanced inside, but she didn't see a single person from the Li family. Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on her head.
"Look, look! Big Brother Li! ”
There was a burst of low exclamations from the crowd, followed by several low sobs.
Qingwan followed the exclamation, and suddenly tears burst out of her eyes, only to see a few young men carrying Uncle Li's body, slowly walking out of it, the person has been burned beyond recognition, many women and children are so frightened that they hide their faces and dare not look again.
The crying of the sky and the ground broke out, He and the two children, all of them were covered in black, He was obviously injured in the leg, limping, the three people followed behind, supporting each other, and they were all unsteady on their feet, crying heartbreakingly, and they could be heard in the clouds for half a day.
"It's a pity, it's a pity! Brother Li is such a good person, why did his family suffer such a thing? ”
"No, who would have thought that a good family would be one less like this! Alas! ”
"I heard that his sons are married, and they are going to get married during the Spring Festival, now!"
"It's not too late to get married when your filial piety is fulfilled, and it's okay." Someone said without care.
"What do you know? Not only is the person gone, but the little family business that the Li family has accumulated over the years is estimated to be almost burned. Whether that girl is willing to marry or not, I can't say for sure! ”
There was a sigh from the crowd, and before the whispering was finished, someone stopped: "Don't say it, people are out!" ”
Li Zheng commanded everyone: "Hurry up, hurry up, hold on!" Panic! ”
Qingwan pressed her heart, took two steps, walked to Wu Ping's side, and said in a low voice, "Sister Ping"
Wu Ping didn't hear it at all, Qingwan said twice before she raised her head blankly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes: "Sister Qingwan"
Before he finished speaking, he was so choked by tears that he couldn't say a word anymore.
At this time, Qingwan didn't say much, and gently patted her shoulder: "Good sister!" ”
"Everyone's gone! It's all scattered! Li Zheng expelled everyone: "Fortunately, although the fire was fierce, it was saved in time, and the people next to it were not affected." Don't mess around here. Let's all go home! ”
Although the people were still reluctant to leave, they saw the scene in front of them and knew that it was not appropriate to stay here, so they had to scatter one after another.
Qingwan was the last to leave, she looked at the ruins of the Li family after the catastrophe, she was very sad, and when she thought of the many benefits that the Li family had done to them in the past, she felt even tighter in her heart.
She paused for a moment before slowly walking towards her home. Along the way, he was still secretly planning for the Li family.
