Chapter 4 Thorn Rose
"Of course, this is called pineapple, it's delicious, sister, I'll cut it for you." After speaking, Lin Yao picked up the knife and landed on the ground to peel the pineapple and cut it into slices.
After cutting it, grab a slice and hand it to the small bean cube, "Taste it and see if it tastes good." ”
"Hmm" Xiao Douding happily took the pineapple and took a big bite without hesitation, and suddenly looked at Lin Yao with bright eyes, "It's so sweet, sister, this is really delicious, sister eats it too." As he spoke, he was about to feed the pineapple in his hand into Lin Yao's mouth.
Looking at Xiao Douding's sensible appearance, Lin Yaobian felt a little distressed, Xiao Dou Ding was always hungry and full every day, and he had to work hard for the family, his small body was skinny, but he always didn't cry or make trouble, he was too sensible, and it was very easy to be satisfied.
She touched Xiao Douding's head and said with a smile, "No, this is for Xiao Dou Ding, there are many pineapples, and my sister also has it." ”
Saying that, Lin Yao picked up a piece of pineapple from the cutting board and put it in his mouth and took a small bite, well, it was really sweet, unlike the pineapples planted on a large scale in modern times, which are more sour.
When Xiao Douding saw it, he began to eat his piece with satisfaction, except for a big bite at the beginning, and then he ate it in small bites, Lin Yao estimated that Xiao Douding still wanted to save it for her and Yao's mother.
Alas, forget it, you can't change the habit at this time, just get more things for him to eat in the future.
Cut the remaining two pineapples into slices and put them in a bowl for the small beans to sit on the table and eat.
Lin Yao washed the lemons and herbs in the basket, then cut the lemons into slices and put them on the roof with the herbs to dry.
When she came back, she thought about it carefully, and now she didn't have any other raw materials except lemons, so these lemons should be dried and stored first, and it was not too late to pick some fresh lemons when there were other materials.
After finishing the work, Lin Yao looked at the sky and thought about it, if she went to pick lemons again, she wouldn't be able to come back before noon, collected the memories of the original owner, and thought that there was a large patch of thorny roses on the slope under the mountain to the west of the village, which is what is called a rose in modern times.
No way, her current skin is too rough, as a delicate pig girl in the 21st century, Lin Yao feels that it is absolutely unbearable to let herself keep wearing this skin, and she happened to have learned some knowledge of making simple skin care products, so she can make some skin care products.
When you reach the hillside, you can see a sea of pink flowers, and the roses you eat are different from the bright red petals that are used for courtship today, but the small pink petals that resemble roses.
I plucked the roses from the rose tree and threw them into the back basket, and in a short time the back basket was full.
Since these roses were everywhere, the villagers didn't care, and the original owner used to pick some roses and put them at home, so Lin Yao went down the mountain without concealment.
"Yo, isn't this the big girl of the Lin family? Looks like the choking a few days ago really didn't matter!" It was Wang, a well-known long-tongued woman in Peach Blossom Village, who loved to gossip about the village's sesame seeds and rotten grains every day, and she was sitting under a tree and chatting with a woman.
After discovering that it was her, Lin Yao ignored her and planned to continue walking.
"Hey! This Lin family's eldest girl choked on water, and her temper has grown a lot, I heard that she promised that she would pay off five taels of silver within a month with that butcher Liu, isn't this a fool's dream!" Seeing that Lin Yao didn't pay attention to her, Wang's face was a little unbearable and he sarcastically said to the good Liu beside him.
"Isn't it, these five taels of silver, it is estimated that the orphans and widows of their Lin family will not be able to pay it off in their lifetime, and they will not be able to borrow it within a month!" Seeing the situation, Liu hurriedly agreed.
Hearing this, the Wang family couldn't help laughing, and pointed to Lin Yao's back basket and said, "Look, that Lin girl actually went to pick thorn roses again, don't you want to learn from the eldest lady of the official family to take a bath, thinking that if you become more beautiful, you can marry better, hahaha......"
Listening to the two long-tongued women behind her, Lin Yao really wanted to slap each of them, but after thinking about it, forget it, Peach Blossom Village has always advocated etiquette and respect, if she beats them up or ridicules them just because of a few words, it will only hurt her reputation in the end.
Lin Yao finally ignored the two long-tongued women and walked away expressionlessly.
After returning home, Lin Yao picked and washed the roses directly in the back basket, and then took out some roses and put them into the washed brown rice, ready to make rose porridge.
If she eats wild vegetable porridge again, Lin Yao thinks that she will vomit her bile after eating, so let's make a meal of rose brown rice porridge to change the taste, at least it won't be so bitter.
As soon as she finished cooking, Yao's mother came back with a large pot of clothes, and Lin Yao hurriedly rushed over to help take the basin when she saw it.
"Mother, just leave these clothes to me to wash, how can you wash so many clothes yourself." Lin Yao said as she dried her clothes.
"It's okay, but just wash your clothes, my mother is not tired." Looking at the well-behaved and sensible girl, Yao's mother said with a relieved smile.
"Mother, I picked a few sweet fruits on the mountain today, you go and taste them, and you can eat when the meal is ready."
"What sweet fruit, my mother doesn't like to eat it, you and Xiaobao just eat it." Usually I can't see anything delicious at home, so Yao's mother is reluctant to eat it herself.
"Alas, mother, you are really, if you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either." Lin Yao pretended to be angry and said.
"Don't, mother, mother, let's go taste a piece." Yao's mother was afraid that her daughter would be angry, so she hurriedly went into the house to eat sweet fruits.
Yao's mother wondered in her heart as she walked, since she woke up from choking last time, she seemed to be a different person, and she became very assertive, this change is good, no longer as timid and cowardly as before, and being bullied, Yao's mother only thought that the child had suffered and grown up, so she didn't think much about it.
After drying the clothes and porridge, it was almost better, and Lin Yao called Xiaodouding and Yao's mother to eat.
"Wow! Sister, this porridge is so beautiful!" Xiao Douding looked at the pink and tender petals in the porridge, holding a small bowl and couldn't put it down.
"Eh, Yaoyao, isn't this a thorn rose, how did you put it in the porridge, can you eat it?" Yao's mother looked at the porridge and frowned slightly.
"Mother, don't worry, this is what an old doctor who came to the village for treatment said a few days ago, saying that it is good for the body, and women can beautify and nourish their beauty after eating, mother, you can eat with confidence, you can't be wrong." Lin Yao rolled his eyes and said nonsense.
Yao's mother couldn't tell whether it was true or false when she heard it, but the thorny rose had already been put into the porridge, and she was reluctant to throw it away, so she had to eat it together.
After eating a few bites, her eyes suddenly lit up slightly, she chirped, and said with some joy, "Huh? Yaoyao, don't say it, this porridge tastes pretty good after adding prickly roses. ”
"Naturally, mother, you can eat it with confidence, this thorn rose has many benefits."
"Well, my mother knows."
After eating, Lin Yao "ordered" Yao's mother and Xiaodouding to eat the remaining pineapples, and then led Xiaodouding to take a nap.
After waking up, Lin Yao got up and rummaged through the lemon slices on the roof, and then looked at the basket of fresh rose petals, Lin Yao thought about it and decided to make some rose skin care lotion first.
People here only know how to bathe with roses, but this greatly reduces the effectiveness of roses, and it is very inconvenient.
However, distilled water is used for slightly better rose skin care water, and ordinary mountain spring water or something will still have impurities, and it is not safe to put it on the face.
Although the tools and equipment here are not complete, making distilled water will be troublesome, but it is not impossible.
If you want to do it, Lin Yao specially scrapped several soaphorn trees and carefully brushed the cauldron, then added enough water, and then put a large wooden basin in the water that was also cleaned, and covered the clean pot cover, and added fire to boil water.
"Sister, what are you cooking?" At this time, Xiao Douding also woke up, and saw Sister A cooking, Xiao Douding was very strange, according to his logic, the family will only cook things when cooking.
"Xiaobao, come here" Looking at the soft and cute little guy, Lin Yao couldn't help but beckoned Xiaodouding to lean closer to her, and then hugged Xiaodouding into her arms and "ravaged" it.
And Xiao Douding happily let his sister "get close".
Seeing a few red marks on Xiao Douding's cheeks, Lin Yao finally let go of his claws and coughed with some guilt.
"My sister is cooking some skin care things, not eating, Xiaobao slept well at noon?" Holding the soft little bean ding, Lin Yao felt very comfortable.
"Well, my sister hugged Xiaobao to sleep and told Xiaobao a story, Xiaobao is very happy, is it okay for Xiaobao to listen to the story tonight?" Xiao Douding looked at Lin Yao expectantly with big shining eyes.
At noon, Xiao Douding played a child's heart and didn't take a nap, and asked Lin Yao to play with him, Lin Yao had no choice but to search for some fairy tales in his memory and tell Xiao Douding a story about Little Red Riding Hood, but Xiao Douding listened to it with relish, and fell asleep happily after a while.
"Of course you can, as long as Xiaobao is obedient, my sister can tell Xiaobao stories every day." Anyway, there are a lot of fairy tales in my stomach, even if I can't remember them, I can make them up.
"Great, Xiaobao will definitely be obedient." When Xiao Douding heard this, he immediately assured Lin Yao excitedly.
The water in the pot was already boiling a little, Lin Yao hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, and found that only a few drops of water had gathered in the big basin.
It's too slow, at this rate, I guess I'll have to spend the whole afternoon here.
There was no way, Lin Yao had to go to Yao's mother's room and ask Yao's mother to help her watch the water, and she wanted to go to the mountains to find something again.
In the room, Yao's mother is carefully embroidering the fabric she brought from the town, and this piece of fabric can get three cents after embroidery, so the women of every family will embroider some embroidery to subsidize the family in their spare time.
Fortunately, the original body can't embroider embroidery, otherwise it is estimated that Yao's mother will persuade her to embroider embroidery.
told Yao's mother what she meant, and although Yao's mother didn't understand why, she also agreed with a smile because of Lin Yao's temperament.
Looking at the scorching sun outside the window, Yao's mother felt a little sorry for her eldest girl, "Yaoyao, now the sun is poisonous outside, but remember to wear a hat" Looking at her daughter's thin little face, Yao's mother couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, look at your aunt's Yueyue, who is about the same age as you, but she is pampered all day long, and she has a good skin, it is useless for her mother, and she has wronged Yaoyao." Saying that, Yao's mother began to wipe her tears.
Frightened, Lin Yao hurriedly stepped forward and comforted, "Mother, don't be like this, without your nurturing grace, I would have been gone a long time ago, and there is nothing flesh and skin, mother, don't think about it anymore." ”
This Yao's mother is good at everything, but her temperament is too weak, and she loves to cry at every turn, Lin Yao instantly felt as if she was raising two children.
After coaxing Yao's mother, Lin Yao went up the mountain with a bamboo basket on her back.
