Xu Dachun insisted on trying to fetch water by herself. It was originally a labor, but what she saw on her face turned out to be the undiminished childlike innocence of a girl.
Fetching water has become a happy game for her at this time.
"Sister, you are really so smart."
Ah……
Xing Rui smiled in her heart, inexplicably thinking of the original owner, Silly Mother. If she knew that one day someone would praise her for being smart, would she jump for joy?
"Then be careful, I'll find a big wooden basin to wash the thornberry flowers."
"Well, sister, I will be careful."
Looking at the happiness on Xu Dachun's face, at the age of seventeen, she is actually just a little girl, but she will get married in a few days.
Alas! At the age of seventeen, in my own world, my parents still treat me as a treasure.
Xing Rui found a large wooden basin and poured half of the flower into the basin. At this time, Xu Dachun walked over lightly carrying two buckets.
She is really a good worker. No wonder the people in the village are rushing to marry her.
It's a pity that Yue Lao suddenly pulled such a red thread for that coward Xing Erhe. Is this the so-called fate?
"Sister, what do I want to do?"
"Pour the water in first, then clean the cauldron, add water, and bring firewood over to light it."
"oh,"
Xu Dachun poured a bucket of water into the wooden basin. The newly poured water was really cold.
As soon as Xing Rui put her hand in, she still grinned.
Directly put the washed arborescens flowers into the bucket through the wooden bucket. The arborescens flowers, which have no dirt to begin with, will be clean after just washing them.
When the flowers are dried and soaked in water, they will begin to swell immediately.
Xu Dachun also cleaned the big iron pot, and Xing Rui asked her to pour the thorn fruit flowers into the big pot first, and then pour the other bucket of water into the pot.
"Dachun, you go and fetch two more buckets of water, and I'll fetch firewood to light the fire."
"oh,"
Xu Dachun agreed briskly, picked up the bucket and went to fetch water again.
The fire was lit, and a large pot of arborescens flowers boiled in the water.
Xu Dachun stood there and watched, asking Xing Rui unclearly.
"Sister, can I make those face-painting things?"
"Of course, I'll give you a bottle when it's ready."
"No, no, no, this thing is quite expensive, I can't have it."
"No matter how expensive it is, I can still afford it for you."
Boiling thornwood flowers is a slow job. Xing Rui asked Xu Dachun to watch while he went to grab the firewood.
This temporary stove without a stove is useless. When the wind blows, the smoke will rush towards people directly, making people have runny noses and tears.
Xu Dachun watched the fire and stirred it with a spoon, while Xing Rui continued to wash the remaining thorn flowers.
The cooking was so painful that Xing Rui thought that if she could cook it all day long, the rest of the work would be easy.
Xing Rui and Xu Dachun were busy with the fireworks when a man walked in.
As soon as he came in, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and shouted in a sweet voice,
"Xing Rui, Xing Rui, what are you doing? You saw smoke coming from here from a distance, and you thought it was on fire?"
Xing Rui, who was squatting on the ground washing the thorn fruit flowers, looked up and saw that it was none other than Li Huimei.
"Sister-in-law, you came just in time, don't you want to see how my cosmetics are made?
I just happened to find Dachun and Sister Xing'er to help me today, and I will make it in the past few days."
Li Huimin looked very surprised when she saw Dachun stirring things in the big iron pot with a big spoon.
"Do you want to cook it in a pot?"
"Yes, you need to boil all the thorn fruit flowers and squeeze out the juice bit by bit.
After it cools down, just add some of my special glue."
The so-called special glue is actually aloe vera gel, which I happen to have in my warehouse.
Of course, Xing Rui would not tell Li Huimei this. The more she talked, the more questions she would have.
"Oh my god! This is really troublesome. This smoke can choke a person to death. Why don't we cook it in the stove inside the house?"
"It's going to take a whole day to cook. How can I stand it on the kang? It's like my sister-in-law said, I can't get up?"
Xing Rui smiled, but did not stop what she was doing and continued to wash the thorn fruit flowers.
"Sister-in-law, please stand behind me and smoke a little lighter here."
"oh,"
Li Huimei kept covering her mouth with a handkerchief. After all, she was pregnant and had to be careful in everything.
"Xing Rui, I took back all those broken pieces of porcelain. Don't you want to draw me a drawing?"
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. I'll get these for you right away after washing them."
"Okay, okay, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
Li Huimei wanted to get close to the big pot to have a look, but the firewood was scurrying around and the smoke was coming for people, so she naturally didn't dare to walk over.
But he didn't give up and watched from a distance.
"How long does it take to survive?"
"This pot of water must be boiled down to two-thirds."
"Two thirds?"
How could Li Huimei understand this?
"Oh, just divide this pot of water into three parts and take the last remaining part."
"How long will it take?"
"I think it will take three or four days for these thornwood flowers to bloom. I'm afraid I don't even have enough dry firewood at home."
"Where's Liang Sheng?"
Li Huimei looked around and saw no sign of Liang Sheng.
"Did he go to the mountains to chop wood?"
"Oh, he went to the porcelain kiln to pull the small porcelain vase. Okay, sister-in-law, I've finished washing it. Please wait a moment."
Xing Rui got up and took a look at the thornberry flowers in the big pot. After enduring it for such a long time, the color of the flowers had basically faded away.
"In the spring, go to the house and get a fence, fish out these thorn fruit flowers, throw them away, and put new ones in."
"oh,"
Xu Dachun ran to the house to get the spoon, and Xing Rui took the big spoon and started stirring it.
Li Huimei could only watch on the side as Xing Rui and Xu Dachun fished out a pot of thornberry flowers.
After putting a new pot in, Xing Rui handed the big spoon to Xu Dachun again.
"After the pot is boiled and the flowers are taken out, no new arborescens flowers are added. Just boil the water until it is ready, then ladle it into a wooden basin and let it cool."
"Oh, I know, sister."
Xing Rui added fuel to the fire and then walked towards Li Huimei.
"Sister-in-law, come here. There is no cigarette here. Don't choke you. You are a national treasure now and you have a baby in your belly."
Xing Rui pulled Li Huimei to a corner of the house. Li Huimei swept the piled green bricks and asked,
"Xing Rui, who is this blue brick of yours?"
"Oh, I bought them from Wang Feng's house, the same green bricks he took away from me before.
Now that Huzi's marriage has ended and the house has not been built, my aunt said she would keep these bricks for fun, so she sold them to me.
You see, my main house has been built, but I still need a shed, so I thought of using these green bricks to build a shed."
"Ah……"
Li Huimei looked at Xing Rui's cunning smile,
"You woman, after all, this brick has not escaped your hands. It is your thing, and it is still your thing after all. No one can take it away."
With that said, Li Huimei looked at Xing Rui's big house and said with a smile,
"Your house was built very quickly, but this is the first time I've seen your adobe house with a green brick shed."
