Chapter 70: A flash of inspiration
"Nonsense, how can turmeric fade spots." Cheng Yi said with a weed in his mouth.
I still remember that at first, I couldn't even accept the shell in the rice, but now I don't feel anything when I hold the grass in my mouth.
Ling Bao said angrily: "It's not nonsense, turmeric has such an effect!" Why do you say I'm talking nonsense? ”
Cheng Yun helped: "Yes, why? If you don't say anything about your ugliness today, be careful that Lingbao doesn't recognize you as a second brother. ”
Ling Bao, who was mentioned, raised her chin and snorted deliberately and heavily, indicating that she was very angry, but she would never disown her second brother.
"Don't!" Cheng Yi was in a hurry, and picked up Lingbao from the ground, his sister couldn't deny him!
But he really couldn't say it, choked for a long time, and said with a cheeky smile: "Lingbao, don't be angry, I know it's wrong, what you said makes sense!" ”
Lingbao pushed away the big head that the second brother squeezed over, refusing to stick to his cheek.
"Don't be angry, the second brother will never doubt you in the future, I will believe everything you say!" Cheng Yi said.
Lingbao was skeptical: "Really? ”
"Really!" Cheng Yi's eyes were sincere.
Ling Bao smiled slyly, pointed to the ground and said, "The soil is delicious." ”
Cheng Yi spoke and unconditionally agreed: "Well, the soil is delicious." ”
Ling Bao smiled even more happily, and his big eyes were bent into crescent moons: "Second brother eat it!" ”
"Okay, I'll eat...... Ay?! Cheng Yi was shocked, "What? ”
Lingbao blinked innocently and smiled very well.
Cheng Yi pinched her face and gritted her teeth: "Okay, you, now you dare to tease your brother." ”
Ling Bao pulled away his hand and said angrily: "The second brother also let me eat soil!" ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yi could only withdraw his hand weakly and said, "Accident, that's an accident." ”
Cheng Yun reached out and hugged Lingbao from his lap, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and asked, "Lingbao, can turmeric really fade spots?" ”
Lingbao nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes, but add milk." ”
She ran a question: "Big brother, what does milk taste like?" Is it really delicious? ”
"It's okay, it's average, it tastes better with some sugar." Cheng Yi tasted back, "But there is a way of sugar steamed cheese is really delicious, made of rice wine and milk, and sprinkled with a little nuts and osmanthus, all kinds of fragrances are mixed together, and the fragrance is amazing." ”
Lingbao's mouth opened slightly when he said it, and his saliva was about to flow out.
"Is it really that fragrant? Is it more fragrant than toon eggs? ”
Cheng Yi frowned at the mention of toon, toon smells so bad, why does my sister think it's fragrant?
"It's much more fragrant than your Rausch toon." Cheng Yi said, "I will have the opportunity to take you to eat in the future, and you will know if you eat it." ”
Lingbao asked, "What do you know?" ”
"Knowing that putting toon eggs and steamed cheese with sugar is a blasphemy against it!" Cheng Yi has a heartfelt voice.
Lingbao hadn't eaten it again, so she couldn't imagine how delicious the sugar steamed cheese was, and naturally it didn't matter if it was blasphemous or not, it would be good if she could eat it.
"Can turmeric and milk really lighten spots......" Cheng Yun muttered to himself.
He felt that he could give it a try, and if it really worked, the county town was not without squires and landlords.
But you have to try it before selling it to be safe.
First of all, I have to find a way to get some milk, I don't know if there is anything for sale in the county, Cheng Yun went to ask the village chief, and the village chief said that there is, in the east of the county.
"I'm going to buy some tomorrow and try it out."
At night.
Ling Bao, who was placing the dishes and chopsticks, moved his ears, rushed out like a small cannonball, and shouted happily: "Daddy, you're back!" ”
She circled around Cheng Zhongqian like a happy puppy, and took the initiative to reach out to help Cheng Zhongqian when he put his schoolbag.
"Daddy, sit down, we'll be ready to eat in no time."
Cheng Zhongqian bowed slightly, sat on the bench, supported his forehead with his right hand, frowned, and his mood was not very high.
Lingbao keenly felt it, and she asked with some concern, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Are you tired? ”
Cheng Zhongqian didn't speak.
Ling Bao called Cheng Yun worriedly.
Cheng Yun asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
Cheng Zhongqian shook his head and said it was okay.
Cheng Yun had to ask again, but just as the meal was ready, he swallowed back the words first. Cheng Zhongqian's appetite hasn't changed, and he eats very deliciously, which makes Lingbao not so worried, as long as he can eat it, it's good!
After eating, Cheng Yun asked again.
Cheng Zhongqian said: "It's nothing, it's just that the county school is not the same as I imagined. ”
"What's the difference?"
He thought that there would be some people with noble conduct and diligent study, but he didn't expect that there would be a mixture of fish and dragons, and everyone would have them.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yun laughed after hearing this.
Cheng Zhongqian was dissatisfied, what a smile, for his father, he was talking from his heart!
Cheng Yun coughed lightly against his lips: "Because of this sentence, you have said it many times." ”
"I've said that many times. Obviously, I only said it this once. ”
Cheng Yun helped their old father recall, and every time he said a word, Cheng Zhongqian's memory would come back again, and his angry eyes turned into silence, he really said it so many times?!
“...... My mother also told me that you also said this when you went to Guozijian before. ”
Cheng Zhongqian was stunned for a moment, and then said in a trance: "It seems to have said ......"
Compared with the eldest brother, he really didn't want to go into the Guozijian to restrain himself, and he always felt that the Guozijian was full of nerds who read dead books, but he didn't expect that there were still many interesting people.
Even the encounter with his wife was at the gate of the Guozijian.
"Also, people are different, and they have nothing to do with location." Cheng Zhongqian said.
He doesn't care what others do, he just studies hard.
After figuring it out, Cheng Zhongqian also laughed.
At night, Lingbao quietly entered the space.
Turned out the book she had read before, and this time she wanted to take a good look at it.
It turns out that the method of preparing turmeric is also very simple.
The book says that the original herbs are taken, impurities are removed, the size is separated, washed, moistened, cut into thick slices, and dried.
And it should not be exposed to the sun, but should be dried in the shade.
In fact, there are fourteen concoction methods, but their family's conditions can only use this.
Lingbao's previous knowledge was too limited, for example, she saw that turmeric and milk could lighten spots, but she didn't know that this could be made into a beauty cream to sell.
Or to be precise, unexpected.
needs someone to guide them, it just so happens that Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi were born in the capital, and there is no one more well-informed than them.
But now, the more Lingbao looks, the brighter his eyes become, and he only feels that he has found a different path.
The next day, Lingbao couldn't wait to tell Cheng Yun about his discovery.
After hearing this, Cheng Yun decided not to go to the county seat first, first dry the turmeric, grind it into powder after drying, and then go to buy milk to avoid waste.
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yun noticed that Ling Bao's expression was a little tangled, and asked with a smile, "What do you want to say?" ”
Lingbao said embarrassedly: "Big brother, I have an idea...... The color of turmeric is very strong, we can add it to the dough and cook it into yellow noodles, or steamed steamed bread into yellow, do you think anyone will come and buy it? ”
