The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #422 - Chapter 422: snow stop
“It’s blue.”
Li Xuemei was most interested in this, she put down the other two volumes, only this volume of bamboo slips dyed cloth, she could not put it down.
Yan Yujiang was folded and pushed to the side with the pillow, and moved the Kang table over.
Li Xuemei dressed awkwardly, took the notebook she made, and spread it on the table.
Interpret the text on the bamboo slips bit by bit.
“The name is Gufa Indigo Dyeing. I have written down everything I need to use. I have to deliberate on the steps, but according to the above, the dyeing vat needs time to settle. We are preparing now, and we will not start dyeing until next year at the earliest. cloth.”
Li Xuemei put down the bamboo slips for dyeing the cloth, picked up the bamboo slips that recorded the preparation of comfrey paste, and wrote down the various medicinal materials and dosages mentioned above.
“Fortunately, I have read a lot of medical books in the past few months, and I still know the names of medicinal materials…” She compared them and copied them one by one on the paper.
The last is the lip balm. According to the bamboo slips, it should be a colorless and transparent lip balm with a light floral fragrance.
Autumn and winter are most suitable, and the materials used are also very simple.
But what is mentioned here are flowers, I don’t know if dried flowers after drying will work…
“It’s a coincidence that our family happens to have beeswax, and both lip balm and comfrey ointment can be used.”
Beeswax is obtained by the villagers poking a few honeycombs when they went to the mountains. Aunt Rong gathered around the village and stocked up a lot in the cellar. There is also pure wild honey, which is sweet.
Li Xuemei said while Yan Yu nodded.
She pursed her little mouth, it was indeed a little dry and needed to be wiped off.
“Mom, make lipstick, no, lip balm, it won’t take a few months, right?”
“It says half a month.” Li Xuemei put down her pen, handed the paper to her, and said, “There is nothing to do in winter, so let’s try it at home. Although the season is not right, the temperature is fine. It is more convenient to put it in the refrigerator. Just outside.”
Yan Yu couldn’t agree more, look at their condition, how convenient it is.
It’s hot like summer inside, but cold like a refrigerator outside…
Nurse Rong brought chocolate goat milk to the two of them. It was freshly boiled, and it was steaming hot with an irresistible aroma.
The temperature is just right, it is warm, just enough to be eaten.
Yan Yu gulped down a bowl.
Shaking his head happily aftertaste.
Li Xuemei finished drinking in small sips, the mother and daughter looked very similar, enjoying the same style.
“It’s great to have chocolate milk in winter!” Yan Yu sighed.
She suddenly thought: “I’ll bring some for dad, it’s okay if it’s cold, just reheat it.”
Li Xuemei thought about it first, then shook her head and said: “Forget it, your father is living in the backyard of the government office with your master now, it’s not good to be seen by others, we’d better wait until he comes back.”
Chocolate and some foods that cannot be seen in the light, they can only eat and eat by themselves, and can’t take it out blatantly.
Yan Yu propped up the window a little bit, and used some strength. It was cold outside and hot inside, and a layer of ice hung outside the window.
She broke off a piece of ice and played with it in her hand. The ice was cold, and it was crystal clear after a while.
At this time, the sky outside gradually brightened.
There was movement in the yard, it was the older sister who got up.
She immediately threw the ice out, put on her clothes and shoes and left the house.
“Sister, I’m going to Huju City today, should you go too?”
Da Ya was a little moved. Looking at the sky, the snow should have come to an end today.
“Go, go.” Yan Yu said coquettishly.
“Okay, then wait for me, I’ll go to Hu’s house.” Da Ya said.
The eldest daughters in the village often get together. It has been snowing for the past few days, and they get together every day. It is agreed today that they will all go to Hu’s house. If she doesn’t go, she must let others know.
Da Ya soaked half a steamed bun, drank a bowl of hot goat milk, and went out.
Qing’er secretly glanced at the two of them, thinking that no one had seen them.
Yan Yu saw it clearly, the child’s eyes were full of longing, and he also wanted to go.
“Qing’er, it’s too cold outside, you are weak, and you will get sick easily when the wind blows. I will take you out to play when the weather is warmer.” Yan Yu said softly.
Qinger nodded sensiblely, obediently drinking goat milk.
The people in Xiao’an Village are very kind. Since it snowed, they don’t use these old and weak women and children sent by the elders to work. Instead, they always want to find some work for themselves.
All the mules and donkeys in the village have been bought, and the forage to eat this winter has become a headache for every family.
The horses seized from Beirong also became a headache for Murakami.
To keep these horses, it is not ordinary care.
The village elders have been collecting fodder for nearly a month.
Except for Qing’er, this group of people gradually adapted to life in Xiao’an Village.
No matter what you do, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be rewarded.
The people in the village don’t think they are free to order. Compared with the quarry, life is like heaven and earth.
From the Luo family next door came the village head Luo’s angry shout.
Yan Yu looked at the sky, the sun was just showing his head, and he could only say that the people in the village are very hardworking.
She went out of the yard and entered Luo’s house.
“…Ma Jin is expensive. You need to store more fodder. You can’t let them go hungry. You will go to the shed boss later to see if the snow is crushing it. You have to sweep it more frequently. Second, find some people to try. Let’s see if we can build a wall of fire, and when it’s very cold, fire them up too, so as not to freeze them up, and while Master Lu and the others are still in the village, we can point out what’s wrong…”
Yan Yuxin said that there is no need to take advantage of it, Master Lu and the others probably don’t want to leave.
Niang said that Mrs. Lu had inquired with her a few days ago about how to sell the homestead in the village.
This questioned her mother’s blind spot.
They are a village fleeing famine, and they really don’t know how to buy and sell here.
Yan Yu went to Huju today and took this task with him to ask his uncle.
There are also families from Gufeng who came to the village. Most of them are from Daan Village. They are all related to relatives. The one with people is just at the north end of the village. It is about the same size as every other house in the village. There should be nothing wrong with it. It needs to make up a formality.
There is also wasteland that should be distributed to these families on a head-by-head basis. The government sent people to measure the land and marked it, but they haven’t had time to draw the fish scale album, so it can’t make people feel at ease.
Everyone is eagerly looking forward to her uncle or Uncle Liang’s return.
But I also know that they are busy, so I can only keep this concern in my heart.
“Third son, hurry up and kill one of the sheep in the backyard. Once the snow stops, everyone will have to go out for a walk. It must sell well today.” Village head Luo assigned tasks to all three sons.
As for the grandchildren below, they will be taken care of by their father.
Luo San responded happily, sharpening his knife and rushing at the goat.
Village head Luo saw Yan Yu.
“Xiao Er is here, have you eaten yet?”
“I have eaten, Grandpa Luo.”
“Come inside, it’s cold outside.”
“Eh!”
Yan Yu entered the house, and Village Chief Luo asked his grandson to add more firewood to the kitchen stove.
His house is full of boys, all of them are very dry, too warm to bear. The kang head in Yiluo’s house is not too hot, but warm, and he is afraid that the children will be cold.
Wu Tie led the way and left.
