At noon, Xie Qingshan's grandfather and grandson had lunch in Baicaotang, and Xie Qingshan was about to go home.

Xie Xuan originally wanted to take the medicinal materials home to do it, where did she know that Liu Siyun and Xie Xuan were the face fat in Sun Simiao's "Thousand Golden Wings" in the Tang Dynasty, and they were halfway through, and they were on the rise, where were they willing to let her go?

Liu Siyun rushed to Xie Qingshan's left grandfather and right grandfather's shout, and asked Xie Xuan to stay with her for a few days, make the fat bath beans, and then send someone to send her back.

Xie Qingshan smiled, how could he say the word "no"?

So Xie Qingshan drove the mule cart back alone, and left six coins of silver for Xie Xuan before leaving, so that she could spend it.

It just so happened that the Xie family was overcrowded now anyway, and there were three or four people squeezed into her bed, and she couldn't sleep day and night. Xie Xuan's second sister Li Lian was careful and thoughtful, fighting with her everywhere, competing for favor and treatment, and finding trouble to find trouble if she had nothing to do, she was impatient in her heart, so it was better to stay in Baicaotang and hide cleanly.

If you can learn some medical skills from Dr. Liu by the way, it would be great to borrow a few books to read.

Xie Xuan is not a real six-year-old girl after all, she is panicked when she leaves her family, she stays in Baicaotang peacefully, and makes facial fat bath beans with Liu Siyun and Liu Sinian.

Because the fat bath beans need to use pig pancreas, pig fat, pig pith, sheep pith and other substances, they decided to go to the vegetable market to buy some back.

Pig fat and sheep pith contain fatty acids and can moisturize the skin; Porcine pancreas is the pancreas of pigs, which contains lipase and protease, which have the effect of decomposing dirt in a compound manner.

In the Wei and Jin dynasties, the "bath beans" contained pig pancreas, and Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Yao Fang" and "Qianjin Yifang" in the Tang Dynasty both recorded bath bean recipes containing pig pancreas. However, in the Song Dynasty, another fierce general was added to the detergent army, that is, the honey locust.

In the sixth volume of the Song Dynasty's "Wulin Old Things", it is recorded that Lin'an, Kyoto, in the Southern Song Dynasty, already had a businessman specializing in "soap groups". This "soap ball" is to mash the soap locust and grind it finely, add spices and other substances to make a hand-sized ball, which is specially used for washing the face and bathing the body, commonly known as "soap ball". This is the predecessor of soap, which has much stronger detergency than bath beans.

However, because Xiao Xie Xuan has dry skin and less oil secretion, if she uses soap, her face will be more dry and tight. Or bath beans and pancreas that contain oil are gentler and more suitable for her.

Followed by the little maid, the three of them walked all the way to the vegetable market, and all kinds of small vendors selling food and gadgets on the side of the road, when they saw the three of them passing by, they shouted very loudly.

Liu Siyun walked all the way, bought two pieces of jujube cakes to eat with Xie Xuan, and saw that there were chestnut cakes for sale, so he threw the jujube cakes to the little girl and went to buy chestnut cakes. Liu Sinian likes to eat salty things, so he bought two pretzels and ate them.

I walked all the way to the butcher stall, asked a few and said that there was no pig pancreas, and asked them to go to the Zhou family's butcher shop, his butcher shop is the largest in the vegetable market, and there must be.

When I arrived at the Zhou family's butcher shop, I asked, and sure enough, there was. Because his family not only sells pork, but also mutton, chickens and ducks, and even beef. The three of them simply bought all the pancreas, pig fat, pig pith, and sheep marrow here, saving them all the trouble of running around.

Although the meat stall was greasy and bloodstained, Liu Sinian and Liu Siyun were not surprised. They are not like those pampered young ladies and sons, after all, the two families have been practicing medicine for generations, and they have seen a lot of blood-drenched scenes than this, but they are just ordinary in front of them.

Liu Siyun was still complaining that the Qiaoguo cakes in Linzhang County were not delicious, and said with the red cherry mouth: "If you want to talk about cakes, the stuffed Shouzi snow cream in Tianxianglou in Beijing is delicious, and the red and white bee cakes in Jiang's dim sum shop are crispy and crispy!" Saying that, Liu Siyun's face yearned and recalled:

"Yangliuge's Guanghan cake and Yunying cake are even better, Guanghan cake is full of osmanthus flavor, soft taste, melt in the mouth; Yunying cake doesn't know how to make it at home, and the entrance is cool......"

Liu Sinian smiled at her and said: "The things you like to eat are sweet and greasy, what is there to eat?" If you want me to say, it's still the meat pocket in Sweet Water Lane, the peach blossom siu mai made by Granny Liu in Laohuai Lane, which is the most fragrant and delicious, and when you bite into it, your mouth is full of fragrance......"

Xie Xuan listened to them with a smile while watching the bearded butcher who sold meat knock pig pith for them.

Hearing them complain that the food in Linzhang County is not as good as that in the capital, the butcher of Zhou, who is knocking a piece of pig shin bone with a hammer, can't help but want to get some face for the hometown where he has lived for generations, so he smiled and said:

"This little official, we can't taste the delicious food in the capital you said, but we have a shop in Linzhang County where the high-end meat buns are delicious, and the meat in his restaurant is provided by me. This morning, I went to the back kitchen to deliver meat, and I saw that his steamed bun was thin, the filling was large, and when I took a bite, my mouth was full of oil. If you want to be greasy, he also has yellow sprouts and leeks and yellow meat buns, using the best pork belly I have here, and the yellow sprouts are only the yellow and tender points in the heart, and the leeks are freshly cut......"

"Uncle, you said that his family sells leek meat buns?" Xie Xuan's heart moved, and she asked quietly, "What restaurant?" I like to eat leek meat buns the most! ”

"Xuanxuan, your family is not a ......" Liu Siyun was straightforward and was about to speak, but Liu Sinian pulled her over and shook his head lightly at her.

Although Liu Siyun had doubts in her heart, she still kept her mouth shut and only stared at Xie Xuan talking to the butcher.

"It's the Xinglong Restaurant on Tongque Street, although the reputation is not as good as Taihe Building, Zuixiao Building, and Ankang Pavilion, but the dishes are not bad, especially the fried roasted bones, Sixi meat, and Babao pork belly cooked by his chef, which are also among the best in the county! His pork is all bought from my family! Zhou Tu lost no time in praising his own meat.

"He's starting to have leeks in his house? I heard that some time ago, there were only Zuixiao Building, Chunfeng Building, Taihe Building, Xinghua Village, Yunlai and Yuxing Restaurant in our county, and they were out of stock these days! When did this Xinglong Restaurant start selling leeks? Xie Xuan asked curiously.

Hearing that Xie Xuan knew a lot about the famous restaurants in the county, and even knew where to sell what dishes, and Liu Siyun and Liu Sinian were not like ordinary people, Zhou Tu didn't dare to slack off, so he smiled and said: "I only started selling it today, and I didn't see it when I went to deliver meat yesterday!" ”

Xie Xuan took advantage of the opportunity of Zhou Tu to knock on the bone and extract the marrow, and then couldn't ask for any valuable information, so he paid and asked the little girl to take something and leave with Liu Sinian's brother and sister.

As soon as she was not far from the Zhou family's butcher shop, Liu Siyun couldn't help it anymore, and immediately grabbed Xie Xuan and asked in a series of ways: "Xuanxuan, why did you just inquire about Xinglong Restaurant?" Didn't his leeks buy from yours? You're asking who's stealing your business, aren't you? ”

"Where is it robbing my business, this leek and garlic is not something my family can grow, if someone else grows it and sells it to a restaurant, can we go to them to make trouble?!" Xie Xuan was frowning and thinking, and was pulled by Liu Siyun to ask a string of questions, and couldn't help crying and laughing.

"Then you inquire a lot, and you knock on the side, I don't want people to find out what you want to ask......" Although Liu Siyun has a fiery temperament, her intuition is very accurate.

Although Liu Sinian didn't speak, he kept looking at her suspiciously.

In desperation, Xie Xuan told the story that the vegetables in his shed were stolen and that the vegetable shed was ruined.

Then Xie Xuan guessed: "Although the shed vegetables are not the only ones that can be grown in my family, but at present, the people who follow the trend of growing vegetables should not have grown up, and if we want to eat leeks and garlic in our county, in addition to my family, I am afraid I have to go outside the county to buy them......"

"What else to explain? This must be the person who went to your house to steal vegetables and sold it to Xinglong Restaurant, let's go find them! When Liu Siyun heard this, she was filled with indignation, and pulled up Xie Xuan's sleeve and was about to go to Xinglong Restaurant for questioning.

"You're looking for it so hard, how can people tell you? We have to pretend to be a guest and go quietly, don't make a noise, and investigate the situation first! Xie Xuan was small and couldn't hold her body, and she was almost knocked to the ground by Liu Siyun.

"Such an interesting thing, how can I be missing!" On Liu Sinian's jade-like handsome face, a pair of starry eyes were shining, full of curiosity and eagerness.
