Wei Cheng, who had been busy all afternoon, finally made the pills for Mr. Fang as a congratulatory gift.
This is an ancient health-preserving pill kneaded by hand. It has a nice name, Nanshan Elixir.
The so-called Nanshan means Zhongnan Mountain. Legend has it that this pill was invented by Sun Simiao during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. With the help of this pill, Dr. Sun easily lived over a hundred years old.
According to historical records, Dr. Sun lived to be 101 years old, and there are also records of living to be 165 years old. Although the span is relatively long, for ordinary people, as long as they can live a hundred years, it is already an unimaginable luxury.
The reason why Wei Cheng knew this prescription was thanks to his grandfather. The Wei family can be regarded as an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with a long history. Otherwise, Wei's father would not have forced Wei Cheng, who was able to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, to apply for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy major.
There are many ancient prescriptions passed down from the family, many of which cannot be refined because of the medicinal materials. However, today is different from the past. Wei Cheng traveled to this era, maybe there is some arrangement somewhere. Here, he can easily
If you find the medicinal materials you want, whether they are centuries-old, thousand-year-old, or even extinct, as long as you are willing, it is not impossible to find them.
After putting the kneaded pills into the porcelain bottle that had been prepared long ago, Wei Cheng made a special trip back to modern times and stored the porcelain bottle in a temperature-controlled refrigerator for low temperature storage. There was also some remaining facial mask paste in the box.
This facial mask ointment is said to be a sacred ointment that the Empress Dowager Cixi must apply once a day. Wei Cheng once used it to open up the market for rich women, but the response was mediocre, not because the ointment was ineffective, but because it failed to be a product of modern technology.
Compared with ancient prescriptions that are unclear and have unproven pharmacology, rich women are more willing to believe in modern facial masks and polymer precision instruments that are well-founded.
Fortunately, not everyone denies traditional Chinese medicine. Previously, Manager Zhou’s wife was a person who believed in tradition and inheritance. She tried the ancient facial mask for more than half a year, and the effect was very significant, so the story of continuing to ask for it happened.
.
"There isn't much facial mask left. Let's take it back and give it to...her to try." It's hard for Wei Cheng to talk to himself about Madam in a place where there is no one around. She feels ashamed.
After returning to the hut, when I walked out of the door, I saw Cai Yan and Hao Niang sitting tiredly in the yard to rest.
Seeing Wei Cheng coming out of the warehouse, Hao Niang stood up quickly and said, "Sir, wait a minute, I'm going to cook."
Wei Cheng waved his hand towards her, then took out the facial mask and said, "Don't worry, I made some ointment, you can try it."
Everyone who sees it has a share. Since Hao Niang is also present, Wei Cheng can't ignore her.
Cai Yan asked curiously: "Husband, what kind of ointment is this? We are not injured, we are just a little tired after seeing too many people."
Hao Niang also nodded, indicating that she was not tired at all.
Wei Cheng had no choice but to explain: "This ointment is not for healing wounds. It is for you to apply on your face. Apply it to your face once a day before going to bed. Just take a cup of tea each time. If things go on like this, your skin will be moist and shiny, and it will also have good anti-wrinkle properties."
Freckle removal effect.”
After all, Cai Yan came from a noble family, so this was not the first time she had heard of this ointment. However, she had only heard about it and had never had the opportunity to use it. Because it was such a rare product, the Taoist priests and medical servants rushed to Luoyang to please the Queen Mother in the palace.
, it was never her turn.
"Husband, are you kidding? Is this ointment really so magical?" It's not that I don't believe it, but I just don't believe it.
Cai Yan's expression told Wei Cheng that she was very interested in this ointment.
Wei Cheng smiled and nodded: "If you believe me, just give it a try. The amount here is just enough for a month. We live on the top of a mountain, with plenty of sun and strong wind, which will cause a lot of damage to the skin. With it, you can
There’s no need to worry.”
When Cai Yan heard this, he nodded in agreement. His skin had indeed felt dry and cracked in the past two days, and his cheeks were slightly stinging after being exposed to the sun for a long time.
Hao Niang was used to it. Her facial features were beautiful, but her beautiful appearance had sunburns in many places due to lack of maintenance for a long time. Coupled with her burn scars, she didn't even pay attention to her appearance.
At this time, she heard that the ointment had such miraculous effects, and she couldn't help but feel excited. But when she looked back and saw Cai Yan's moist skin, she walked into the kitchen feeling ashamed and started cooking without saying a word.
After finishing the meal, Hao Niang wanted to say goodbye and go home.
Cai Yan suddenly grabbed her, stuffed a bottle of ointment into her arms, and said, "Sanniang, please go back and give it a try. My husband said that this medicine also has the effect of removing scars, but the effect is not obvious. He is developing one."
Special scar removal medicine, when the time comes...hehe."
Cai Yan stopped talking. She couldn't say much about the disappearance of the shadow. She could only give Hao Niang some hope so that she could live a happier and more confident life. Even if there were scars on her face, she shouldn't be depressed all day long.
Walk with your head down, so even if good luck falls from the sky, it won't hit you.
Hao Niang bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and nodded vigorously to express her gratitude to Wei Cheng and his wife.
After Hao Niang left.
While eating the steamed buns, Wei Cheng said: "Madam, I plan to go into the mountains tomorrow to look for wild ginseng that is hundreds of years old. If I don't come back tomorrow night, madam, don't worry. I will be there early the next morning at most."
Come back and have breakfast with Madam."
Wei Cheng said this just to find a reasonable excuse for himself to attend Mr. Fang's birthday party.
However, in Cai Yan's ears, it had a completely different meaning, because in the past, Wei Cheng would never explain so much. He would go out whenever he wanted, and even staying outside the village for ten days and a half was just normal.
Cai Yan looked at Wei Cheng blankly. She could feel the true emotions behind Wei Cheng's words, just because he was afraid that she would be worried. This was an emotion she had never had before and had never felt in Wei Cheng. It was a well-known emotion.
For the emotional transmission of care and consideration.
"What's wrong?" Wei Cheng asked guiltily when he saw her staring blankly at him.
Cai Yan woke up from a dream, feeling moved and feeling a little choked in her throat. She shook her head and ate the steamed buns one bite at a time. I don't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that today's steamed buns were particularly sweet and delicious.
Wei Cheng didn't pay much attention to it. After getting the vaccination, he felt relaxed.
I will set off tomorrow morning and return to modern times. I will first contact the merchant about the arrival status, and then go to the city to ask about the price of gold.
There were a lot of things to do. Although he had a whole day's holiday, he had to attend a birthday banquet tomorrow night. In fact, he didn't have much time to do anything. One day passed by just messing around.
At night, the sound of singing began to be heard in the village.
Tonight, the village hosted a banquet for Daniel and his party. Since there was wine to drink, Aning also went. Compared to the wine, the steamed buns were not that fragrant. This little girl was undoubtedly reincarnated as a drunkard.
After the couple had dinner, Wei Cheng suggested going out for a walk.
Although the area on Pingding Mountain is not very large, there is still a lot of free space because the villagers live so concentratedly. For example, in the current horse farm, dozens of horses can run and chase at will.
Wei Cheng and Cai Yan arrived at the racecourse and saw a lonely bonfire in the distance, with a figure next to it and a lively little macaque.
Wei Cheng has always been wary of the mute person, not because he was afraid that he would be harmful to the people in the village, but because he always felt that he had some secrets that he was hiding from everyone. Such a person had a hard life, and others could not really get into him.
's heart.
Seeing Wei Cheng and Cai Yan arriving, Mute quickly stood up, spread a large piece of wolf skin on the ground, and motioned for them to sit down.
The little macaque seemed to be very curious about Cai Yan, or the shining golden hairpin on Cai Yan's head. His big eyes stared at the hairpin on Cai Yan's head, and he wanted to reach out several times.
He was held back by the mute, and he could only sit next to the mute aggrievedly, like Sun Dasheng pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain.
Wei Cheng took out a lollipop from his arms and handed it to the little macaque. The little guy had been greedy for a long time after watching Aning eat it every day. He coveted this kind of fruity food, regardless of the plastic stick.
If the stick doesn't get stuck in your throat, just pop it into your mouth.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he hurriedly tried to stop him, but the little macaque rolled his tongue very flexibly, and the plastic stick on the lollipop was exposed from his mouth, as if he really knew how to eat it, holding the stick in his mouth
Lollipop squeaked with joy.
The mute was afraid of disturbing Wei Cheng and Cai Yan, so they knocked it on the forehead. The little macaque immediately stopped barking obediently and touched the painful area. It felt aggrieved with a lollipop in its mouth.
appearance.
"Pfft, this little guy has become a spirit." Cai Yan thought the little macaque was cute and wanted to reach out and touch it.
I thought the little guy would run away, but instead of sitting there obediently, he even moved his head forward. After rubbing his little head against Cai Yan's palm, he showed an expression of enjoyment.
···
"Brother Zhengtou, your village can do it. I'm a little embarrassed to entertain us with such a big steamed cake."
In the village, Da Niu, who had drunk some wine, put his arm around his shoulders. These two famous hunters in eight villages had once escaped from a tiger's mouth together and established a deep friendship. Their relationship was more like brothers than brothers.
Chengtou picked up the pottery bowl, took a sip of wine, and said proudly: "Thank you, Master, for these grains were sent by Master from his family. To tell you the truth, this is already the second batch of grain.
I haven’t finished eating the previous one yet.”
Dan Niu was startled when he heard this, and then he remembered what his mother-in-law said. He hesitated in his heart. Maybe it would be a good choice to let Xiao Hua return to Haojiacun to live for a while.
Not only can I avoid the troubles made by the uncle and his family, but I can also eat and drink well, which is better than suffering the consequences myself.
Don't look at Daniel as a hunter, because he has a relationship with his master. After he brings back the prey he hunts, he must give 70% to the master. This is an unwritten rule, as long as he still wants to get the protection of his master.
, he must do this.
Therefore, every time he goes hunting in the mountains, he has to give some to his father-in-law's family. This is to avoid being exploited too much by the master's family. After giving away 70% of the prey, there will not be much left at home.
Moreover, due to their physical constitution, all members of the Daniel family are big eaters. When he married a little girl, he had an even bigger appetite. There were only a few days throughout the year when he could really eat enough.
Seeing Daniel suddenly become silent, Chengtou also heard about what happened at Hao Sanzhu's house in the afternoon, so he consoled him: "Brother Daniel, I'm not telling you, when has Xiaohua ever suffered like that in our village?
Not to mention being insulted, no one let her do the work of carrying water. With her size, it would be very easy for her to go hunting with us in the mountains. You, you have wronged her so much."
Zhengtou's explanation may seem a bit confusing to most people. Asking a girl to go hunting in the deep mountains and old forests is no different from asking her to die. Isn't it normal for a girl to fetch water? It may be a little harder, but it's still
It's better than dying.
However, Dan Niu understood it very well. He nodded and said, "It is true that I restrained Xiao Hua, but our village is different from yours. My uncle, he said that girls shouldn't do it.
Dancing with knives and guns is unethical."
When Zhengtou heard this, he said angrily: "I see, he is just jealous. When you married Xiao Hua, which man from all over the country would not be envious of her? Xiao Hua was not only a good hand at work, but also treated her elders
He is also very filial, and the most important thing is..."
A man next to him came over and said coquettishly: "The most important thing is that the little flower has a big butt and is easy to give birth to, hahahaha."
"Shanzi, what's your name!" Zhengtou's expression changed drastically and he grabbed the man.
Suddenly, the lively atmosphere fell silent for an instant, and Daniel looked at the bonfire in front of him with a sad face.
As we all know, Xiaohua gave birth to a big fat boy the year after she got married. Unfortunately, she contracted the disease and died young. It was a small plague and dozens of people died, most of whom were half-year-olds with low immunity.
Son and baby.
Later, Xiaohua and Daniu never had children, probably because they never came out of the shadows.
When this matter was mentioned at this time, everyone felt very sad.
He put his head on Daniel's shoulders and said comfortingly: "Brother Daniel, it's all over."
Daniel took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Zhengtou, and asked: "I want Xiaohua to come back and stay for a while. Can you ask Uncle Da Dao for me? If there is not enough food, I can..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaohua is originally a girl from our Haojia Village. Isn't it right for her to go back to her parents' home? As for food, you've seen it. Our village doesn't miss her a meal now." Chengtou interrupted him.
, said righteously.
Several other men from Haojia Village also nodded, "Yes, Daniel, Xiaohua is our family. If she doesn't live well there, you can let her come back and live for a while."
Daniel looked at everyone gratefully. Although Xiaohua was from Haojia Village, she was already married after all. She would share the food in the village when she came back, which made her husband feel a little guilty.
"That's right." A man said: "Young master has Xiao Zhao's personal protection, and my wife also needs someone to protect her. How about letting Xiao Hua protect her for the time being? Brother Da Niu, you don't know that the food here is only
It can be considered average, but the food at Young Master's place is delicious."
After hearing this, he thought it was feasible. He knew Xiaohua's abilities. A few men could not get close to her. With her personally protecting his wife, he thought the young master would agree.
"I think it's okay. I'll go ask the young master tomorrow. However, the little flowers are so edible, so don't scare the young master... Hahaha."
