Since the county's pharmacy shop began to launch the "pear cream" medicine, Cheng Hao has been somewhat hiding from Gu Laoshi's family.
He was really ashamed. The third lady's secret recipe was exposed just to cure his son's cough. He attracted these jackals, tigers and leopards. How much loss would he suffer? He could not afford it for his lifetime.
At this time, when he heard that the Gu family was going to do a pear ointment business, he was determined to make the mistake. Before the Gu family's business could start, he mobilized relatives, friends and neighbors to blow the Gu family's pear ointment into a fairy medicine.
On this day, the river was on the turn of rest, and the Gu family had a vacation.
Jiang went to the village to talk to his sisters whom he knew, and also wanted to exchange some eggs, goose eggs and other things for Gu Xiangtao to replenish his body.
Recently, she always feels that her daughter has lost weight.
Gu Laoshi first sent Gu Wulang to the clan leader's house when he got home. Recently, Jiulanglang, who was at the clan's family, was at home. He was the best scholar in the clan now and was also a kind-hearted person. Whenever he came back, he liked to call all the talented young men in the clan over to teach everyone common sense about exams for scholars.
The old patriarch had a little ambition, and his thoughts made the Gu clan a higher level and also wanted the style of famous families. Therefore, he encouraged his clan members to send their children to study.
When Wuro stays at his house, he usually has to stay until Jiulang returns to the county, which takes three to five days.
Gu Laoshi was idle for a moment and was called by Gu Xiang to the kitchen to learn how to boil pear paste.
It is not difficult to make pear paste, but you have to do it seriously and do it seriously. There are more knowledge here. Not only do you know the prescription, but you should understand everything from the choice of pears and the quality of medicinal materials.
Gu Hushi has always been serious in doing things, and even a certain amount of water is required to add a pear. Gu Xiang sat outside the kitchen window with a smile, guiding Gu Hushi while compiling "textbooks" for him according to his requirements.
She prepared two kinds of pear cream with sweetness, one can of high sweetness, which can be eaten directly by flushing water.
Another type of product is sold for nine cents without sugar, but in fact Gu Xiang has to worry more about this. Her ability to "season" can be said to be used to the extreme. If someone else wants to make such a perfect taste, it will really take a long time, experiment, and luck.
While doing work, Gu Laoshi listened to Gu Xiang reading what she wrote. As he listened, his face showed a little satisfaction.
"My daughter wrote it well. I could understand what she wrote once I read it. Last time your uncle learned some agricultural knowledge from his husband. He wrote it down and gave it to me. I hope I can gain some knowledge, but I recognized more than a dozen words after reading the things he wrote for a long time, and this didn't work."
"What else did your uncle say about this? This is taught by the teacher. It should not be easily shown to others. I cannot find a scholar to explain it to me."
Gu Xiang smiled and sighed.
Old farmers know how to farm, but they are not literate. If a literate scholar understands agricultural knowledge and compiles them into books, those who can read them well and understand them will probably find it difficult to actually work in the fields and do nothing.
"Sanniang, tell me again. I'll remember it carefully. Your mother has been urging me so hard these days. Every day when she sleeps, she always says how much money she has to pay for, how many pears she needs to collect, etc. I'm slow to move, and she will definitely scold me again."
Gu Xiang replied with a smile.
Yesterday she saw her mother hit her father several times. I guess she could finish her bad temper with Jiang's bad temper.
Seeing that scene, she felt a little comfortable. She was not so much more fond of a girl. Since this era came, Gu Xiang would feel consciously or unintentionally bound by various constraints.
Before she went to Yongyijun, she heard her mother discuss with her father and she would take her to her uncle's house to avoid the limelight when she came back. She was still ignorant when she was experiencing it. At midnight, her thoughts were turbulent. Gu Xiang suddenly realized that... this is really an era when a woman should not show up in public.
If she was a man, what could it be like to be a chef in Yongyijun for a while?
But she is a woman, everything is very different.
The status of men and women is so disparate. The more Gu Xiang thinks about it, the more he feels that the idea of ​​following the local customs is a bit scary.
I really got married to an unfamiliar man like this, and I learned from the women of this era to take care of my husband and children, and from then on I was dependent on others and had no status in the family...
Gu Xiang bit the pen in melancholy and continued to think about the recipe of pear paste. Suddenly, her father walked out of the kitchen in two steps. Soon after, he followed Jiang in step by step. He first took the cushion for Jiang to spread it, then took the newly cooked pear paste water, and then brought a plate of red bean cake.
"Why are you wearing these embroidered shoes again? The sole of these shoes is thin and it hurts your feet."
Gu Laoshi quickly went into the house and took a pair of new shoes, squatted on the ground to change it for Jiang.
"Do you always stand and talk to others again? Look at the stiff legs, you can't always stand still. If you hurt your legs and feet, you will suffer when you get older."
Gu Laoshi skillfully lifted Jiang's legs onto his legs and placed them gently and kneaded them.
Gu Xiang: "..."
Well, this era is actually not bad.
At least a woman did not really live a thin symbol in her family like she did in the Ming and Qing dynasties. She was wearing such an era, which was really a blessing in disgrace.
Jiang changed one leg and stuffed it to Gu Laoshi, asking him to continue pinching it, frowned, and kept turning his head to look at Gu Xiang, but he stopped talking.
Gu Xiang simply put down his pen and ink, looked up and smiled, "My mother, what's the matter?"
"Sanniang, is the effect of our pear paste really good?"
Jiang looked back at Gu Laoshi, "Your father is clumsy, can he survive well? Otherwise, Sanniang... let's stop doing it."
Gu Xiang was quite surprised: "My grandma has already agreed with Chunsheng's sister-in-law, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liu and others, and has also agreed to the first batch of pear paste to come tomorrow."
Gu Laoshi was also shocked: "Wife, I also went to Shuanzi to talk about this with Dazhuzi yesterday. Shuanzi's family was going to burn a batch of porcelain jars for us separately. As the third lady said, please ask the county magistrate to give me a name and write a few words to carve it on. This matter cannot be done without doing it."
Jiang's face immediately showed a little sadness: "...so. The effect of pear paste is really very good? You don't know, I'll go to your Aunt Liu's place today, and she said that we have to buy fifty cans of pear paste when we come out, and we will give it to her son-in-law's house, her mother's house, and her father-in-law's house. Fifty cans may not be enough."
"Her son-in-law grinds tofu in Dali Village. I heard that Dali Village has spread all over it. It says that our pear paste can cure all diseases. Anyway, if you have a headache or fever, you can take care of it if you drink pear paste."
Jiang Shi shivered, "I felt scared when I heard this. Not only Dali Village, but many villages around were circulating these words."
Gu Xiang: "..."
She was also a little guilty now.
"What I plan to sell is sweets and drinks, but it is not medicine. This is definitely something to be explained."
