Chapter Seventy-Six: Negotiating Cows
After that, Yu Na took the initiative to withdraw the rumors, and Wen Xueqi did not pursue the matter again. Everything about Yu Na was never mentioned again, and she was let go. Life is not easy, Yu Na is still a little girl, she doesn't want to ruin her life with her private life.
However, Zhao Yongqiang did not forget to punish this person who damaged the image of the class, and he completely broke with Yu Na, "I don't think you are suitable to be the secretary of the league." ”
Yu Na made a ruthless heart and said coldly, "I was appointed by the head teacher, and only the head teacher can remove me." ”
That being said, Yu Na's image has been greatly damaged, and the election will definitely not be successful. Next, as long as Wen Xueqi behaves well, runs for the secretary of the Youth League, and moves to the same table with Min Yao, it's over.
Yu Na was so happy that Zhang Wenli lost power, and when she went home from a big break, she took Wen Xueqi to walk around the West District, with endless strength all over her body, and threatened to take Wen Xueqi to visit the West District.
Wen Xueqi thanked Bumin, she didn't have so much time to hang out with Zhang Wenli. In addition to seeing the world, she also has a task to complete when she comes to the West End.
The eldest sister is coming, and the wedding date has been set, and as a younger sister, she should give some gifts, so she wants to buy a pair of cross-stitch for her in the West End.
Don't look at Zhang Wenli grew up in the West District since she was a child, and she has fought in the streets and alleys, but she really doesn't know about the cross-stitch shop, so she has to ask her aunt for help.
Aunt Zhang's personality is quite bold, she was surprised that her niece would inquire about what these girls were interested in, so she hurriedly rode a Mulan motorcycle and took the two little girls to the underground square.
Not only is there a lot of things in the underground square, but it is also a lot cheaper. Aunt Zhang saw that Wen Xueqi's dress was very ordinary, and she brought her here after considering her purchasing power.
When she was shopping, she waved her hand, her mind was firm, her eyes were like torches, she was fighting for money, and she actively helped bargain, and she had the feeling of negotiating cattle, which shocked Wen Xueqi and Zhang Wenli.
Wen Xueqi bought a medium-sized picture of flowers blooming, but the money spent was about the same as a small-sized one, which was simply doubled.
After buying cross-stitch, Aunt Zhang had to take the two little girls to dinner, but Wen Xueqi couldn't resist it, so she could only follow. After sitting down, Aunt Zhang took off her hat and mask, and Wen Xueqi found that the acne on her face was quite serious.
Zhang Wenli also remembered this matter, and hurriedly introduced the two, "Wen Xueqi, do you see my aunt's acne?" Auntie, she cured the acne on my face. ”
Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then they dimmed again. The acne on her face, it's been three or four years, and it's useless to think about how many ways to do it, and I haven't seen a single one that has worked after buying a set of big-name skin care products.
The doctor said that there were allergies in the city, so her acne would not be cured until she moved out. It was impossible for her to move away, so she could only wear a hat and a mask to take precautions.
In fact, after so many years, she no longer has any hope, she just wants to control it and stop being serious.
Wen Xueqi took a closer look, Aunt Zhang's T-zone skin was very greasy, but her cheeks looked dry, and there was a layer of acne on her face, and there were even some places that were red and swollen, which made people want to reach out and scratch it.
This is due to the imbalance of water and oil for too long, which makes the skin seriously damaged, and the skin is extremely sensitive, so it is always red, swollen and acne, and her acne is evil, which is caused by the rise of heat in the body and the accumulation of too many toxins.
The imbalance of external water and oil will make the skin acne, and the effect of evil fire toxins in the body will also make the skin acne, and under the double-sided attack, the skin texture will be damaged, and the acne will appear more, becoming a vicious circle.
In this case, she needs to detoxify first, then cleanse and hydrate, and then cooperate with each other to gradually cultivate the skin to a healthy state.
"Auntie, I want to go to your place on Sunday afternoon to find Wen Li to play, and by the way, I will bring you some souvenirs that are good for your skin."
Aunt Zhang's family lives very close to Zhang Wenli's grandfather's house, and her family has no daughter, so she often takes Zhang Wenli to live and raises her as her own daughter.
Aunt Zhang waved her hand again and again, "No, you can play whenever you want, don't make so many false courtesies, let's not do that." "What an old child is this, how can there be so much attention? It made her feel bad.
Zhang Wenli helped on the side, "Auntie, you can make us more delicious food." ”
Aunt Zhang replied, "That's for sure, but you have to give me empty-handed, and bringing something is to slap me in the face." ”
Wen Xueqi agreed, thinking that she would go back and get something self-made, just take it as her own intention, and Aunt Zhang would definitely not be able to kick her out.
"Auntie, I've heard people say that you have to avoid eating in this situation, you can't eat spicy and irritating things, you can't eat seafood, and even mutton and beef have to be avoided."
Aunt Zhang had also heard her say that she should be taboo, and she did so, but what was the result? It's not a pimple that should be a pimple, it's a redness that should be swollen, it's useless at all.
Because of this, she is no longer taboo, her face is already aggrieved enough, she can't be wronged anymore with her tongue and old stomach.
Wen Xueqi didn't force it, Aunt Zhang has no motivation to avoid eating now, and when she tastes a little sweetness and has confidence in clearing acne, she will definitely be stricter than anyone else.
She didn't rush home, inquired with Aunt Zhang, and found a small market, which was full of chemical products.
She bought a few soap bases, a set of handmade soap molds, and a few simple tools for making them, planning to make a few handmade soaps to try her hand at first.
Aunt Zhang's T area has too much oil, and the pores are a little clogged and inflamed, and acne will occur if it is inflamed, so the cleaning work must be done well. And because the cheeks are dry and peeling, the skin is more sensitive, so you can't use strong cleansing things, you have to make some gentle cleansing products.
The cleansing power of the soap is indeed there, but it is easy to irritate the skin and is not very friendly to people with sensitive skin, so you need to add something to it to use it with peace of mind.
To get home from the city, you need to take a bus to the county seat first, and then transfer from the county seat back to the town. Wen Xueqi waited at the entrance of the town, and when he saw a kind uncle, he stopped someone's tractor and let the family take it to the village.
When the uncle heard that she was a high school student, he was very happy and not only sent her to the entrance of the village, but also gave her the fish he had touched. Wen Xueqi thanked him so much, but he couldn't accept it. The uncle is so real, it really makes her feel ashamed.
Bringing it back to the village has been a great help, how can you ask for his things again?
As soon as he got home, Wen Xueqi couldn't wait, took a straw hat and ran to the back mountain with a basket, at this time the spring mung beans had already exploded, and many of them fell to the ground, so they had to be harvested quickly.
Wen Xueqi waited for the white nylon gloves, and with a flick of his fingers, those plump fruits couldn't withstand the stimulation, exploded with a "pop", and fell into the basket.
And those who were determined were taken off by Wen Xueqi with his hands.
Mung beans are not like maize, one plant bears one ear, and more can be done in two, and it will be gone after breaking. This thing has multiple pods and is not uniform in ripeness, so it needs to be harvested several times. The ripe ones are harvested today, and a batch of newly ripened pods will emerge tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Wait until the pods are almost ripe, then use a sickle to touch the roots and cut off the seedlings, and bring the seedlings back to dry to get the last batch of mung beans.
Wen Xueqi first picked up the most thoroughly cooked pods and took them back, spread a clean plastic sheet on the ground, and exposed the pods and fried mung beans to the sun.
Then pick out the most thoroughly dried ones and mash these green beans with a washed garlic mortar until they become a fine powder. This is individual work, and the tired Wen Xueqi secretly swore that he must buy a flour machine in the future.
Fortunately, there is not much demand, and when there are almost two small handfuls of pounding, Wen Xueqi put the mung bean powder into the bottle, these mung bean powder can be taken internally or externally after finishing and polishing, which is a good thing to clear heat and detoxify.
After collecting the mung bean flour, she turned out all the dried calendula and exposed it to the sun with the pods.
These calendulas were all picked by Song Bo's mother at the foot of the back mountain before, and they were kept for her own family to treat colds. Wen Xueqi thought of the magical effect of calendula on the skin, and specially bought all these flowers, which came in handy right now.
This thing can make tea, can be used in medicine, can steam the face, and can also be used as skin care products; Clearing dampness and heat, cooling the fire, it is perfect for Aunt Zhang's face.
During the period when the calendula was exposed to the sun, she changed into long-sleeved trousers, wore a straw hat, and covered her face with a scarf, revealing only a pair of increasingly watery eyes. After being fully armed, Wen Xueqi took a bamboo pole and a cloth bag and went to the back mountain again.
She followed her memory to find a tree that was more than ten years old, and it was surrounded by bees and butterflies, and bees were flying low, and there were good things at a glance. She used a bamboo pole to pick up the leaves, and sure enough, she found a wild beehive.
She burned the grass under the tree, and the smoke smoked the hive, and the bees buzzed out, and one by one they did not dare to approach the hive.
When the bees were almost gone, Wen Xueqi took the opportunity to climb the branches, carefully removed the hive, and put it in a cloth bag.
When she got home, she immediately opened the cloth bag, spread the gauze on the large flower bowl, and used a knife to separate the honeycomb to extract honey. The honey flows onto the gauze and is simply filtered before it can be used.
After the honey was ready, Wen Xueqi picked some calendula that was free of pests and diseases and was in good condition, and put them into a bottle and kept them for making tea; The flowers that didn't grow well were put aside, and the petals were all plucked and kept for calendula soap.
The petals of the calendula were fine and soft, and they ran away as soon as the wind blew, and Wen Xueqi had to find another bottle to fill them up and take them to the pot house.
Wen Xueqi cut the soap base into fine pieces and put it in a transparent plastic cup, then put the plastic cup in a glass with a larger volume, and put water in the glass, but the water level should not be too high, so as to prevent it from entering the plastic cup. Then put the cup in an iron pot and heat it in a water bath until the soap base is completely melted.
Mother Wen couldn't understand what Wen Xueqi was doing, so she frowned and blamed, "What are you messing with?" Go home and don't hurry up to make canned food to make money! ”
