Chapter 9 The smell of plant ash that is no longer smelled in modern times

"No, I only have 1,005 threads, not 3,000 filaments, the length is rare, and the thickness is not good."

Mrs. Xu touched her hair and said to the camera as if she was nagging: "Well, it's all bald, and it's the same reason that no matter where you are, you have to die." We're still bald here, and we can't stop malnutrition with whatever black we use. When I know better at my age, after a night's sleep, I feel that my head will become a dandelion, and it will disappear as soon as the wind blows. ”

You look at the matter of nagging for hair, and you start to fight grandma again, it is too mysterious for ancient people.

It's a day when I'm not happy, I eat, and I play there for a while.

It's a day of happiness, making money, and there is a live broadcast room.

That's it, it's been two days since I came to ancient times, what is the old man?

Anyway, you can't believe it if you kill someone.

Okay, okay, in Changying, you can think of it as watching a large-scale costume rural pastoral struggle drama, a dinner drama, and a suspense drama Grandma is a documentary about whether or not he is an ancient person.

Mrs. Xu: By the way, she is really a long shadow.

Changying laid off.

Thinking about providing for his granddaughter to go to college, he was reemployed at that time, and he used to do all kinds of small business.

After boiling the water, Mrs. Xu simply watched the live broadcast, made shampoo to wash her hair on the spot, and when her hair dried, she also planned to give Lao Tie a hair on the spot. Maybe she will be born by hand, after all, it is the first time she has coiled her hair in memory, but she thinks that as long as she can coil up such long hair, her family will definitely feel fresh.

It's a little regrettable that her granddaughter is just a camera and can't be a model, otherwise Mrs. Xu really thinks that she can attract a group of regular fans by giving women of all ages ancient hairstyles and wearing ancient clothes, just by broadcasting these every day, in her eyes, this is all a business opportunity.

In order to make the new powder become the old powder, at this time, even the grass ash was introduced by her to the tricks.

"Family, look at Grandma's removal of ashes from the stove for you. This is the burning ash of ordinary straw, which we call the herb frost. You wrap it in muslin and filter it with water, see? After filtering the water, it foams itself, and the villagers use it to wash their hair and laundry. If you don't believe it, go back and ask the old people at home, I guess there were many people who washed it like this before. ”

Mrs. Xu motioned to the assistant to give a close-up of the grass and wood ash.

Xu Tianxin immediately widened his eyes and took a good look.

Xu Tianxin wanted to add that the principle is that the alkaline hydrolysis of potassium carbonate will dissolve the oil, and after thinking about it again, there are people in the live broadcast room who know better than her. She interjected like this, not grounded.

Mrs. Xu took out a black jar again, looked down to see why she was so buried, and hurriedly took it away and rubbed it with her sleeve before introducing: "This is the residue left over from rapeseed oil extraction, use the residue to smooth the hair, otherwise the ancient people's hair will be messed up if it doesn't grow smoothly."

It belongs to the ancient version of "conditioner".

And this filtered grass and wood gray water, Mrs. Xu only used a small part, not all of it.

While instructing her granddaughter to water the back of her head with a gourd scoop, she pouted and squinted in front of the basin and explained:

"For the rest, I'm going to make alkali and keep it for steamed noodles.

One bowl of straw ash, two bowls of water, leave it in this ratio for one night, and the filtered water turns pale yellow the next day. At that time, you boil the water on a high fire, and the dry noodles left at the bottom of the pot are alkali.

Why can't you eat it, eat it, if the family is curious, I will start the broadcast on time tomorrow morning, and you will come to see me fry alkali. ”

Mrs. Xu did not forget to solicit customers all the time, and then she really planned to do more frying, there is no alkali in this family.

The steamed buns here are very sour in memory, and they are not noisy and delicious.

And she used to run a ramen restaurant until before she crossed over.

That's really not blowing, it's just too busy, and there are few trustworthy relatives in modern times, and the granddaughter advises not to be tired and can't do it, otherwise she would have opened a branch a long time ago. At that time, she used her exclusive secret recipe to make soda from Puffy Grass as a ramen agent. So steamed bun pies are even more of a problem for her. This kind of thing has long been played with by her.

Mrs. Xu thought of this and specially shared it with the old irons in the live broadcast room: "The alkaline water made of sesame straw is delicious, and the grass ash burned by straw is almost delicious." If you're curious, you can try it. ”

Mrs. Xu simply wiped her hair with a cloth.

This guy is wiping his face and tearing his face, and he is about to catch up with the child's baba ring.

Thinking of the children, Mrs. Xu looked at the "camera" and said, "Do you know that we use grass and wood ash to make menstrual belts here?" The child cushion also uses this. ”

Therefore, the plant ash is very useful, and the ancient diapers are not wet. It can also be used to wrap wounds, and it is said that this thing kills bacteria and stops bleeding.

In addition: "After cutting the leeks, cover the leek roots with a layer of plant ash, and the new leeks that come out grow better than the previous leeks." This thing is also used to plant potatoes, cut the budding potatoes into pieces, wrap them in this herb frost and plant them in the soil, and the potatoes look much longer and better. ”

Mrs. Xu searched for her memory, paused for a moment and continued: "We have diarrhea here, and Lang Zhong's prescription is also to let you eat it with boiled eggs dipped in grass and wood ashes. "It's called the basic version of montmorillonite.

"There are also old people who have died, and the coffin is filled with it, which can keep the body from rotting for a while. You don't need to ask to know that you don't believe it, so I'll ask who hasn't ...... when I go back."

Without waiting for Mrs. Xu to finish speaking, Xu Tianxin hurriedly stopped: "Grandma, don't let that broadcast." ”

It's a pity not to let it be broadcast, if you let the live broadcast flow swish.

And the next behavior of Mrs. Xu gave everyone a new understanding of the grass and wood ash.

I just saw that she finally didn't look up at her granddaughter and pointed at the camera.

The old lady slipped away with her long loose hair up to the socket of her legs, and in a moment a pot of ugly and small autumn cucumbers was poured out of nowhere.

She sat on a small bench, first sliced a cucumber, then took out a handful of ash from the pit and wiped it up.

Everyone in the live broadcast room: Do you want to perform and eat soil?

As the sun set, in the courtyard surrounded by the wings on both sides of the Xu family and the two main houses, Mrs. Xu smiled at the camera with a wrinkled face, and she felt that this picture should be quiet and good:

"Family, I'll teach you how to cook together. Slice the cucumber and mix the ash, the plant ash can absorb the water in the cucumber, and when it is dry, it can be pressed with a large stone and stored for several months. When you want to eat it, wash it with water, and you will find that the cucumber is still burnt green after washing it in winter, and then put some chili oil and put some green onion and coriander to soak with soy sauce, this is a small pickle, which is delicious, and drink some porridge with some corn tortillas.

If you use it to fry the meat slices to eat, it is better, the fresh cucumber fried meat can not be fried that taste, it tastes particularly crispy, and the dumplings are also fragrant with its scrambled eggs and chopped filling, which belongs to the rare green dishes that we have here in winter. ”

And it will also be the exclusive dish of Lao Xu's family.

Because in memory, the ancients here did not store cucumbers like this.

Mrs. Xu remembers that when she was a child, she heard her grandmother say that the border of Jilin was first eaten like this, where there were Koreans, and the Xian people loved to study pickles, and slowly there was this local dish in the northeast. So I suspect that it came from that side in the first place.

"Don't look at it buried now, it has a nice name, it's called cucumber money."

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she also wiped most of the pot of cucumbers and dried them, she reminded her granddaughter, please ask the director to go over, sow your laundry clothes, she has to go to the backyard to pee, she can't hold it back.

But the old lady did not come back for a while.

Just look at her, while tying her trouser belt, while holding the cane to observe the collection of autumn cucumbers in the neighbor's house, and she still thinks in her heart, whether she wants to buy all the cucumbers in the village.
