Chapter 183: New Year's Greetings

In the days that followed, because Zhao Jing was not at home, the shop was about to have a holiday, so Qi Yunshu did some finishing work, and also took time to make a plan for the pharmacy, and took time to make some food for Zhao Jing's master and apprentice and send it over.

I am also studying how to keep the food hot while maintaining the same taste.

I thought of it last time, but Mrs. Zhao came temporarily and delayed her.

Now that she has time, she wants to study it again.

What she wants to do is make it possible for cold meals to heat themselves without having to pour them into the pot.

In ancient times, when there was no electricity, there was no heated microwave oven, and all she could think of was modern self-heating rice.

It's just that she now needs to use what she's learned to make heating packs.

This is not difficult for her, in modern times she has studied this thing out of curiosity, and is completely familiar with its principles and materials.

The main component of the heat pack is quicklime, which reacts with water to generate calcium hydroxide and releases a large amount of heat. The temperature can be higher than 100°C, and then the heat can be continued to heat the processed food.

Qi Yunshu made a list and asked Qingzhi to buy back what she needed, and then began to prepare.

Stemming from Qi Yunshu's solid basic skills, he only succeeded after a few attempts.

At that time, I happened to meet Zhao Jing back.

Mr. Xia originally said that he would take a break on ten days, but the New Year was about to come, so Mr. Xia naturally did not study according to Zhao Jing during the New Year, so he let him back.

Seeing Zhao Jing wearing a green robe, he was tall, his face was handsome, and he had a gentle smile, Qi Yunshu's mood instantly improved, and he put aside his thoughts, and couldn't wait to show what he had made out in front of Zhao Jing.

Looking at the meal that had been deliberately frozen cold by Qi Yunshu, under the action of that packaged white unknown substance and water, it quickly bubbled.

Zhao Jing seemed to touch the porcelain bowl with his hand with some disbelief.

"Don't touch, don't touch!" Qi Yunshu was a little late to stop it. Before she finished speaking, Zhao Jing was already so hot that she hurriedly retracted her hand, "hiss......" It's really hot! Then he looked at her with a look of surprise, but Qi Yunshu just raised his chin and squinted his eyes and smiled, but he didn't say a word of explanation, he had to lie down and find the mechanism by himself.

There was no firewood under this thing, and there was no fire, so how did it heat it up on its own?

Qi Yunshu saw that Zhao Jing had been studying for a long time, but the doubts on his face were getting deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help but laugh with a "poof".

She raised her eyebrows and said, "How about it, I said it can heat up on its own!" ”

Zhao Jing nodded seriously.

Yes, it's a hot thing, but there's definitely something strange about it.

He was not presumptuous, he only looked at Qi Yunshu, and pinched her palm and scratched her palm.

"Lady, what is the principle of this?"

Qi Yunshu asked him to dry his hands and spread out the quicklime that had been wrapped long ago for him to see.

Zhao Jing frowned, this powder looked a little rough and white, but it smelled a little pungent.

"What is it?" This is not within his knowledge.

"Quicklime!" Qi Yunshu only reacted after speaking, this name doesn't seem to belong here, at least the people here don't call it like that, she asked Qing to leave to buy it before, and it took a long explanation to make her understand.

Qi Yunshu explained the principle of the chemical reaction of quicklime when it encounters water, and then wrapped a handkerchief to bring out the already heated meal, and took chopsticks for him to taste quickly.

"Well, it's hot!" Zhao Jing looked at his lady in surprise.

She's really a baby, and she doesn't know how many rare things people don't know about in this little head.

"Has the taste changed?" Qi Yunshu looked at him nervously.

"Well, it's still fragrant, the meat of the pork belly is smooth and tender, just right!"

"Of course, because I knew that I would have to add another heat, I didn't stir-fry the vegetables when I stir-fried."

Qi Yunshu clenched her hands with a happy expression.

"Lady has worked hard!" Zhao Jing suddenly picked a chopstick meal and fed it to the corner of Qi Yunshu's mouth, and said words of thanks affectionately in his mouth.

He knew that she was doing this entirely for Mr. Xia, and the reason why she wanted to please Mr. Xia was to compromise him......

In the final analysis, the lady is still for him!

"Actually, I have another idea, I heard that during the scientific examination, the food brought by the lifters inside was cold, and the best treatment was to use charcoal fire to heat things.

If I could make you a few servings of self-heating rice when you enter the exam, then you won't be able to eat a mouthful of hot rice during the exam! ”

Qi Yunshu said that when she was excited, she grabbed Zhao Jing's shirt and couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.

Zhao Jing was also happy when he heard it.

And Qi Yancai and Liu Sanyuan, who had been quietly hiding and watching the excitement for a long time, also came out and praised Qi Yunshu for being able to make such a good thing, so Liu Sanyuan cheekily asked Qi Yunshu for a few copies.

Qi Yunshu is in a good mood now, and she agrees to their requests one by one.

Thinking about it at the same time, she hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of Qi Yancai, who was closest to her, and asked eagerly:

"Do you all want to have a bite of hot food?"

Qi Yancai suddenly smelled an elegant fragrance, his heart couldn't help but waver, and he lowered his eyes and forgot to answer for a while.

Liu Sanyuan looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "That's right, we have conducted scientific examinations so many times, and other customs tests or anything are nothing, but every time this food is hard to swallow." ”

It's okay to try it in the township, after all, it's in late summer and early autumn, when the weather is still hot, and the bread and naan are cold when they're cold, so they eat slowly with hot water.

However, it is spring, although the earth has returned to spring, but the weather has not completely warmed up, eating cold food, I am afraid that it will affect the performance of the exam!

As Zhao Jing spoke, he saw the two brothers and sisters standing side by side intimately, and inexplicably felt that this scene was dazzling, so he quietly pulled Qi Yunshu in front of him, touched out a brand-new book like a trick, and then told her that this was another unique medical book he found in Mr. Xia's huge study, and he specially copied it back with her with Mr. Xia's consent.

For Qi Yunshu, who is about to open a medical bureau, he is naturally not refusing to come to medical books now.

Several people tasted the food and the newly appeared self-heating rice, and waited until Mama Liu shouted late outside before they dispersed.

After the meal, the lamp was like a bean, and Zhao Jing sat by the window with his clothes and read a book.

Qi Yunshu sat directly on the bed, took the medical book that Zhao Jing brought her today, and looked at it. As I read it, I exclaimed, "This is a great book!" "There are a lot of prescriptions in it.

In ancient times, unlike in modern times, there was a particularly good cure for any disease, and everyone shared it, but here there is a psychology of hiding private strangeness.

Medicine is never passed on to outsiders, and most of it is passed on from the older generation of the family to the next generation.

Therefore, many people's medicine is a little biased, but the person who wrote this book is extremely selfless, not only teaching what he knows, but also writing out the cure he developed.

After a while, Zhao Jing suddenly put down the book and came to Qi Yunshu, and after attracting her attention, he muttered for a moment and said, "Today, Old Lady Zhao came to Xia Mansion to look for me!" ”

Qi Yunshu's eyebrows jumped, and she immediately remembered the so-called three chapters of the covenant she had signed with the old man earlier.

Thinking of the dislike for selling Zhao Jing in it, she felt a little weak, and couldn't help blushing and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Return to Zhao Mansion on the sixth day of the first month!" Zhao Jing looked at her a little nervously and asked, "Okay?" ”

"Is there anything special about the sixth year of junior high school?"

"It's my father's birthday, this year is a birthday, not a birthday, the old lady let us go back just in time for that day!"

Qi Yunshu had actually been mentally prepared for a long time, and she didn't think much about it when she heard this, she just pinched the silver ticket and title deed that she had been carrying with her, and she had all the benefits in her hand, what else could she say?

Seeing that Qi Yunshu agreed so easily, Zhao Jing was a little surprised: "Lady! Don't worry, although the Zhao Mansion is a mansion, I won't let you be wronged! ”

"Hmm!" Qi Yunshu replied unheartedly.

She and Zhao Jing both know that Zhao Fu and Zhao Jing are both opportunities and hidden dangers.

It's just good that the people in the Zhao Mansion no longer dare to use the manpower in the Zhao Mansion to deal with him easily.

However, what needs to be guarded against is that his return may make many people in the Zhao Mansion uncomfortable!

Solving this important matter, Zhao Jing's emotions suddenly went up, and while he was close to Qi Yunshu, he couldn't help but excitedly grabbed her waist, hugged her into his arms and sighed with infinite feelings: "There is a lady of Lao!" ”

Qi Yunshu struggled subconsciously, but the joy and unconcealed exhaustion in Zhao Jing's voice made her heart slightly sour, and she was a little unbearable.

After all, they are still husband and wife, and Zhao Jing is no longer as strong as before, so there should still be such a shallow level of communication!

Besides, she has to be worthy of the five thousand taels of silver tickets and the hot spring Zhuangzi at the foot of Guanyin Mountain!

Mrs. Zhao said that it was a dowry!

After that, he entered the New Year's Pass, and Mr. Xia gave Zhao Jing a vacation, but he said that he would definitely go to the Xia family courtyard on the first day of junior high school.

The New Year's goods are prepared by Mama Liu and Qingzhi, and Qi Yunshu only needs to open an order and make a general plan.

But in modern times, life is simple, when I was in college, because I had to do winter vacation work, and I was born in an orphanage, I basically wouldn't go back, and only Brother Liang Tian accompanied her.

Two people have a big bowl of dumplings, you and I feed each other one by one, and then watch the Spring Festival Gala together, count down the time for the New Year, listen to the New Year's bell, and forget it.

But Chinese New Year's Eve here has many tedious processes and steps.

Fortunately, with Mama Liu's help, Qi Yunshu didn't bother to think about it.

It's just that he took a table of dishes and beckoned a large family to gather for dinner.

Even the red envelopes of the subordinates in the family and the shopkeepers and young men in the shop have been distributed early, so she is quite idle.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, thinking of Mr. Xia's instructions to Zhao Jing, under Zhao Jing's expectant eyes, Qi Yunshu came to the Xia family's courtyard with the meals and pastries made by himself.

Mr. Xia really likes to be quiet.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was only one little scholar Xiaobai on the door.

Seeing the little couple coming, Mr. Xia was very happy, and immediately asked Xiaobai to make tea and greeted the two warmly.

After a long talk, Mr. Xia made a summary of Zhao Jing's study some time ago.

Great, but not enough.

"There is no end to learning, if you study only to be an official, it is enough to allow it, but reading is for the clear will, for the heart, for the solid foundation, but it is boundless!"

The so-called knowledge is like the sea.

Zhao Jing hurriedly got up and respectfully agreed.

Mr. Xia stroked the long beard of the fairy wind bone with satisfaction and said, Originally, Zhao Jing should have returned to the Xia family courtyard to study in the third year of junior high school, but considering that he was going back to Zhao's mansion, and he heard that someone had already invited him to participate in the tea party of Lao Shizi on the seventh day of junior high school, Mr. Xia couldn't let Zhao Jing be a person who didn't believe in his word, so he had to relax the time for Zhao Jing to go back to the eighth day of junior high school.

However, Zhao Jing looked at his teacher, and saw his eyes looking at the lady who came with him from time to time, and he knew in his heart that the teacher's heart and his studies were one thing, but I am afraid that it was more concerned about his mother's cooking skills.

Qi Yunshu was very good at observing words and colors, and when he saw Mr. Xia's eyes, he understood his thoughts, and immediately pushed Xiaobai, who was standing like a tree trunk, and said: "Actually, Xiaobai's recent craftsmanship has also improved!" ”

After all, it was she who personally directed.

Xiaobai has no talent for cooking, but he is good at being practical and willing to learn, and he is also a more persistent person.

Every time he says that what Zhao Niangzi can do, he can do it one day! And he doesn't just talk about it, he puts it into practice every time.

So Qi Yunshu's words are not too big.

Mr. Xia smiled with a beard, like an old man next door, and he didn't have the burden of everyone in the Liang literary world.

When he said goodbye to the couple, he said solemnly to Zhao Jing: "When you enter the Zhao Mansion, don't forget that you are my Xia Xiuzhi's student, and it doesn't hurt to fight if you should fight!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhao Jing's heart warmed, he understood the weight of these words, and even more understood that this was Mr. Xia's care for him!
