Luo Zixuan and Wang Yuyan came in their own carriages. They attracted a lot of people's attention when they entered the village. However, because the maids and guards were all wearing regular clothes, no one knew that it was the new county magistrate who had arrived. They thought they were here.
As before, it was Lu Yan who came to see him.
He Yunxi was cleaning the meat traps set by Lu Yan on the mountain. Most of the prey caught now were not sold. She marinated them all and kept them for winter. Lu Yunjiao came to the mountain to find her. She had just caught them from the trap.
A fat rabbit came out.
Hearing that Luo Zixuan and Wang Yuyan were coming, He Yunxi put the rabbit away and went back.
In the courtyard, Lu Ming was sitting with Luo Zixuan. Wang Yuyan was looking at the courtyard. When she saw He Yunxi coming in, she was a little surprised by her dress.
"Yunxi, you are dressed like this..."
For convenience, He Yunxi usually wears shorts when going up the mountain, and his sleeves and trousers are tied up with ropes.
Not at all like a woman.
"Isn't this convenient?" He Yunxi put down the backpack generously and said to Lu Ming: "Second brother, go pick up the pheasants and rabbits. Let's make something delicious for lunch."
"Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat?" Lu Yunqing asked.
"Let me give you a taste of what it means to eat four rabbits." He Yunxi patted her head. When he heard Liu's cough, his eyes flashed and he told Lu Yunqing: "Qingqing, mother is coughing again, go and give it to her."
Mom, bring some water."
"Okay, sister-in-law." Lu Yunqing was a little confused. Her mother was obviously well, so why was she coughing again?
But she obediently didn't ask and went to Liu's house.
"Jiaojiao, go help your second brother to heat the hot water." He Yunxi said to Lu Yunjiao, and then said to Luo Zixuan: "Shall I take you to see the Kang first?"
"Okay." Luo Zixuan nodded.
I came here today just to see this kang.
He Yunxi pointed to his room, "This is the stove. Make a fire here. The hot air will enter the kang from here, and then go out from the flue at the back. The hot air will flow through and the kang will be warm. It will happen that you need hot water for hair plucking.
, just burn it here.”
Lu Yunjiao got the order, took out the pot and put it on the stove, then brought the water and poured it in, and then brought some firewood to boil the water.
Luo Zixuan and Wang Yuyan entered the house, and He Yunxi pulled away the cotton batting underneath and pushed aside the straw underneath, revealing the drill bit underneath.
In fact, there's nothing to see here. He Yunxi has been sealed up, so they can't see what's inside.
Luo Zixuan reached out and pressed it. There was no sign of cracks in the kang. Then He Yunxi took them to see the flue on the other side of the wall.
"This is the valve. If you feel the temperature is too high, open the valve wider. If you feel cold, close the valve smaller." He Yunxi said, "It's also convenient to pump it horizontally."
After the visit, she took them out and said: "You can't see anything now. You can feel it when it starts to burn later. You sit down for a while, and I will pour you two cups of tea."
He Yunxi poured two cups of chrysanthemum tea and sprinkled a few wolfberries in it.
"Are these small yellow flowers and wolfberry?"
"Yes." He Yunxi put down the cup, "Small yellow flower tea disperses wind and heat, clears the liver, improves eyesight, detoxifies and reduces inflammation. Wolfberry nourishes the liver, nourishes the kidneys, and moisturizes the lungs. There is still some autumn dryness in this season, so drinking some is good for the body.
"
Wang Yuyan smiled and said: "In the eyes of others, yellow flowers are flowers to admire, but to you they become medicine."
"Aren't you used to it? Many flowers can be made into scented tea." He Yunxi said, "I put a little sugar in it, you can try it."
Wang Yuyan took a sip and said, "With this sip, I feel like I've got all the fragrance of the flowers in my mouth."
Luo Zixuan also tried it and thought it tasted good. He took another sip and said, "Not bad."
"I don't have any good tea at home, so I have to find a way to entertain you." He Yunxi said.
"You said other flowers can also be made into scented tea. What kind of flowers can be used?" Wang Yuyan asked.
"Jasmine, rose, osmanthus, roselle, lily, etc. are all acceptable." He Yunxi gave several examples in succession, "Different scented teas have different health-preserving effects."
"Can it also have health-preserving effects?"
"Yes. Like lily flower tea, its main functions are to nourish yin and moisturize the lungs, clear the heart and calm the mind, and help sleep. In addition, it also has unique pharmacological effects in treating chronic bronchitis, coughs and asthma, and lung cancer and vomiting blood." He Yunxi said, "Another example is
Osmanthus tea, its main function is to have the effect of ventilation and stomach. For example, it has preventive and therapeutic effects on stomach cold and stomach pain. It can relax the intestines and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort caused by flatulence. It is a tea suitable for the elderly with weak gastric function.
scented tea."
"Yes, since this osmanthus can be used to make osmanthus cake, it can also be made into tea." Wang Yuyan sighed, "Yunxi, you are so amazing."
"I only know a little bit about pharmacology." He Yunxi said, seeing Luo Zixuan silently drinking up the tea, getting water to refill it for the two of them, and said: "Sister Wang, we made a lot of chrysanthemum tea this year. After a while
Take some back with you when you go back."
He Yunxi could tell that Luo Zixuan liked chrysanthemum tea, could Wang Yuyan tell it?
When she heard what He Yunxi said, she was not polite.
Seeing that Lu Yunjiao had almost boiled the water, He Yunxi said, "Sister Wang, you guys have a rest here while I make lunch."
"Shall I come with you?" Wang Yuyan heard that Lu Yunqing said that He Yunxi's food was delicious, and she was very curious about how she cooked it.
"If you don't mind, come along." He Yunxi said, "I'll wait here. I'll go to the backyard to get some materials first."
She went to the ice cellar and got some frozen fresh peppers, planning to make a dumb rabbit later. She happened to soak mushrooms in the morning, so she could make wild mushrooms and roast rabbit meat. She would also make a ginger rabbit and eat the rabbit cold, and one rabbit would be enough.
It's been arranged.
The pheasant was used to make a salad chicken, using newly made vinegar and chili oil, it was sour and spicy, and conquered everyone's taste buds as soon as it came out.
In addition, I soaked some fungus, fried some meat slices, steamed a steamed egg, and added the chicken soup to make a hearty lunch.
Oh, and a chili con carne sauce was served at the end.
Wang Yuyan and Luo Zixuan originally thought that He Yunxi would cook casually, but they didn't expect that she had cooked so many dishes, most of which they had never eaten before. They were shocked.
Including a maid, a guard and a coachman, everyone was very satisfied.
As a hidden foodie, Luo Zixuan was so full for the first time.
"By the way, I almost forgot about the business." He Yunxi patted his head, "Sir, let's go see the kang."
Luo Zixuan blushed a little.
The aroma of her cooking just now was so fragrant that he forgot about the main business.
