In the main courtyard, in the small kitchen of the east wing at the back, Ye Man is preparing to make elixirs.
This kitchen thing is 1.2 feet long, about 1 foot long from south to south, or 4 meters by 3.3 meters, which is really not too small.
The door is open on the north side, and there are windows on the four upper sides, so it is brighter.
On the north wall of the entrance, there are a large water tank, a waste water tank, and a hot water tank. On cold days, the water cools very quickly, so you have to bring hot water here from time to time to keep up with it.
On the west wall of the entrance, there are three exquisite stoves and three casseroles. The chef has to control three of them at the same time to make a good elixir. This is the only way the current conditions are simple.
Facing the east wall, there is a row of cabinets. The cupboards are not included, but the medicine cabinets are more important. The maids dare not touch things like thousand-year-old ginseng.
The south wall is a platform, where you can place a chopping board for cutting vegetables, meat, kneading dough, chopping medicine, whatever you want.
This small kitchen is very convenient for cooking some food.
The only thing missing is a big stove, maybe the kitchen is just this small.
Yeman finished dressing, exposed her hands, and started working.
Wang Suning was very excited and she lit the fire. Although it was very important, it was also important that she lit the fire.
Ran Ruo starts here.
Cuiyu was busy with other things. It was the Chinese New Year, and even if the master didn't care, he would still be very busy.
Fang Bijian came over to take a peek and then stood guard outside. As long as the sky didn't fall, he couldn't be disturbed.
Not only Fang Bijian, but also Yan Min and Zhou Meng were guarding.
The side door of this backyard is opposite the side door of the east courtyard.
When Wang Ruqian came back, he didn't plan to go to the Yamen anymore. He could think and organize things at home.
Several people were sitting in the east courtyard and backyard, watching and chatting.
The boy ran over and said, "There are ladies coming to give Mr. Wang something."
Fang Bijian asked: "Who?"
The boy said: "It seems to be a farmhouse."
"farmhouse?"
The boy nodded: "The Yanzhou farm family has about one hundred thousand taels of silver. They only have a daughter, and they want to marry her."
Fang Bijian called: "Wang Jingbo, what do you think?"
Wang Ruqian responded in the room: "What do you think?"
Fang Bijian thought about it and shook his head: "I don't want to be a door-to-door son-in-law. I am a slave to begin with, why can't she treat me like a dog?"
Mr. Cao passed by and interjected: "There is a rule here. For fear that the son-in-law will seize the door, the son-in-law is not allowed to have the property of the daughter-in-law. If a woman has no relatives, the property belongs to the village, the neighborhood, or the government office."
Fang Bijian said: "Who is still a door-to-door son-in-law?"
Ms. Cao said: "That means choosing someone who is very honest and has no dissatisfaction. But that's too high a standard, right?"
With a family fortune of 100,000 taels, someone who is rich in other places is just average in Haizhou.
Wang Ruqian passed the national examination at the age of sixteen. Such talent is beyond her reach!
If anything else, I just look down on Wang Ruqian.
Mrs. Cao thought to herself that the master didn't look down on them, so just ignore those people.
It's good to close the door by yourself.
Fang Bijian said with a smile: "I'm just dreaming, and I want to have both talents."
Wang Ruqian is so good-looking, yet he dares to rob people of anything.
To be honest, if Wang Ruqian wants a woman, what kind of woman can’t he have? Haizhou has everything. Isn’t that uncomfortable?
This is what you need to be a human being. Otherwise, you are just a dog.
The most powerful one is of course the master, even if he buys Wang Ruqian, he can make him fly.
What do those bitches outside compare with their master? A little money? Their horizons are too low!
In the small kitchen, the aroma of medicine wafts out one after another.
There are also bitter and astringent ones, all of which make people obsessed.
Do they have such a thing?
A group of people sat here all day without feeling tired.
Of course, if you don't want to sit down, you can get up and patrol around the main courtyard or around the entire Linxia Mansion.
In the small kitchen, Cuiyu came to light the lamp and get some food for everyone.
Yeman was already prepared.
This time she wanted to refine the Jiuzhen Pill. Although it was not a Great Return Pill, its efficacy was not simple. It would be very difficult to refine it.
Nine main drugs need to be processed and thirty-six auxiliary drugs are integrated.
Although there is a lot of time involved in boiling medicine, it is not about boiling it in one pot. If you want the best results, the process is very important.
One hundred and eight other kinds were added.
It is not that these medicines have not been processed, many of them have been concocted, but the wild vine elixir must be prepared according to needs.
Pharmaceutical belt for alchemy.
It lasted until New Year's Eve.
It's raining.
In the small kitchen, there is a strong aroma of medicine.
Outside, Li Chongming, Gan, Liu Cai, Cao, Wu Shouren, etc. didn’t even eat the New Year’s Eve dinner, but came to take a whiff of the fairy spirit, it was definitely worth it!
I feel so comfortable after taking one sip. It's not that I'm thinking too much, it's just that I've been smoking too much in the past few days.
Inside, there was nothing the wild man could do, the conditions were poor and he couldn't control it.
Fortunately, it was almost over and she could seal the medicine.
Wang Suning and Ran Ruo were swaying around and couldn't bear it anymore.
In the meantime, if Cuiyu hadn't come to help, it would have collapsed long ago.
As for the seventy-seven forty-nine days of alchemy? It is impossible to practice during the day and not practice at night.
Some can be postponed to tomorrow, and some need to be continued, just rush.
Outside, Yan Min and the others are more vigilant and don't smoke too comfortably.
Wang Ruqian was not busy with anything else. He looked around in his raincoat and saw a thief falling under the roots of an ancient tree.
Wu Ye came over to see if he was going to fall asleep or freeze to death? But a thief's death would be in vain.
Wang Ruqian looked carefully and saw that he was not dead. He only had one breath left.
Plop, something else fell in.
It’s Chinese New Year today, shall we serve the New Year’s Eve dinner?
Wang Ruqian came over to take a look. One person hit his head on a stone. He was almost killed if he wasn't hit.
On the Cryptomeria side, there are many rocks in the rockery. Although it is not too high to fall off the wall, some unlucky ones can die even if they fall over while walking and hit the rocks.
Wang Ruqian is not afraid. He is not calling the Yamen now. On New Year's Eve, the Yamen will definitely not want to take care of it.
It’s the 29th of the New Year this year, so let’s wait until he’s 30. It’s like a dead insect under the tree.
Wang Ruqian returned to the front and saw that the young lady finally came out of seclusion.
This piece still has a strong fragrance, making people feel light and airy.
However, with the little lady's messy appearance, I don't want to look at you inappropriately.
Everyone dispersed quickly.
Those who should prepare hot water are always there. Those who should prepare New Year’s Eve dinner have already been prepared.
It rained today, so a shed was set up in the yard at the end.
The room at the end and in the middle is also relatively large, and can hold four tables, which can be placed from the eaves to the courtyard.
There are more than 60 people in this family, and they can spend the Chinese New Year together!
The children all put on new clothes, ouch!
The adults also put on new clothes and waited for the master to come.
A group of people who were not too busy were discussing.
"It's the Chinese New Year, so it's quiet here."
"The entire Yinqiu City is relatively quiet, and it will probably become lively in February."
"Jinchun City is quite lively."
"Many people want to invite the master, but the master doesn't have the time."
"After the Chinese New Year, we will basically be free."
If you stay here, you won't be very busy on a daily basis.
However, daily life is also very busy. For example, the garden needs to be taken care of and the cottage needs to be planted.
The pigsty hasn't been returned yet. Chickens may be raised across the street, but there won't be enough people.
"Everyone next door seems to be celebrating the New Year at Gu's house. Is it still an outer room?"
