Chapter Ninety-Five: A Letter from Someone
Bai Jingxuan blinked a few times. The Medicine Saint is not the only apprentice of Miss Gu, I have never heard of him being so attentive to the great apprentice Jiang Da Medicine Master. Could it be that this is the difference between a big apprentice and a small apprentice, a male apprentice and a female apprentice?
"Wow! Glass mirror!! Is the Hidden Treasure Pavilion out of the glass mirror? Gu Ye took out a mirror decorated with gorgeous gems from his baggage, and the most special thing was that it was inlaid with glass and silver mirrors.
Gu Ye took a self-portrait in the mirror: slender curved eyebrows, beautiful and smart eyes, a beautiful nose, small and ruddy lips, plus a small melon seed face, fair skin, she is also a little beauty. Gu Ye looked left and right beautifully, admiring the strange and beautiful self in the mirror.
Bai Jingxuan picked up another glass mirror, and after shining it, he was surprised again and again: "This is a mirror made of glass?" The light is so clear that even the hairs on the face can be seen. Miss Gu, Master Ling is really generous, and she can even get such a treasure. ”
Bai Jingxuan knew about the sky-high price of glass products sold in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion. He had just returned from Yancheng, and he hadn't heard of glass mirrors for sale. In other words, the treasure that he didn't even have in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, the old man of the Medicine Saint actually got it first and gave it to his precious apprentice. In this way, the old man of the Medicine Saint really took this little apprentice very seriously.
Gu Ye flipped through the package again, in addition to the five or six small mirrors in his hands, there were also square mirrors that could be placed on the dresser, and wall mirrors hanging on the wall. Haha, Master is so cute, is this the rhythm of putting mirrors in every room in the house?
"Third Uncle Bai, do you have a daughter in your family?" Gu Ye fiddled with these delicate little mirrors and asked casually.
"I have a daughter, the youngest in the family, who is eight years old." Speaking of her delicate and lovely daughter, Bai Jingxuan's eyes were full of gentle love.
Gu Ye was a little envious of the little girl she had never met, alas...... Why did she meet a scumbag father? It doesn't matter, she has a grandfather, a master, and an older brother who spoils her sister, and she is already very lucky.
"This little mirror, Uncle Bai will take it to play with Sister Bai." Gu Ye picked out a glass mirror inlaid with pink crystals and stuffed it into Bai Jingxuan's hand. The little girl should like this pink and tender color, right?
"How can this be done," Bai Jingxuan hurriedly refused, "Miss Gu, this glass mirror is a priceless treasure in the market, how can I, as an elder, be embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift from you?" ”
"Third Uncle Bai," Gu Ye blinked his big dark eyes and pouted, "This mirror is not for you, it is for me to take Sister Bai who I have never met!" No matter how valuable the mirror is, it is only used to reflect people, and one is enough. Master brought me so many mirrors, he must have asked me to give them away. Take it, or I'll be angry! ”
When Bai Jingxuan heard this, he hesitated and stretched out his hand to catch the glass mirror. He smiled gratefully: "When the New Year is over, bring my girl to thank Miss Gu in person." ”
"You don't have to say thank you." Gu Ye took the mirror back to the package, "If Sister Bai is interested, you can come to my house as a guest, I will take Sister Bai up the mountain to pick mushrooms, dig medicinal herbs, and if you are lucky, you can also shoot birds with a slingshot!" ”
Bai Jingxuan is naturally happy to have her daughter get close to the future great pharmacist! Baili Great Pharmacist, it was because of the production of pills that he jumped from a pharmacist to a great pharmacist. Miss Gu has been able to make children's medicine independently, and the pills can't help her. In other words, her strength has entered the ranks of great pharmacists. I believe that in the pharmacist conference in two years' time, she will definitely be able to make a name for herself in the entire pharmacist world! If the Bai family can maintain a good relationship with her all the time, they will definitely be able to follow her when the time comes!
For her cute and naughty little daughter, with Bai Jingxuan's understanding of her, she will definitely be interested in the new things in Miss Gu's mouth. I hope she can play with Miss Gu!
"Third Uncle Bai, did the master send a letter saying when he will come back?" Master has been gone for more than half a month, and Gu Ye misses that arrogant and cute little old man a little.
Bai Jingxuan shook his head and said, "The person who delivered the things didn't mention the return date of the old man's family. However, along with the baggage, there was also a letter. Maybe there's the news you're looking for! ”
Gu Ye unwrapped the burden with all his hands and feet, and took out a sealed envelope from the innermost, which was blank and not a word was written. Gu Ye opened the envelope and took out a thin piece of paper inside. The words on the paper are painted with silver hooks, vigorous and powerful, and they are very skilled:
"Little apprentice of the Medicine Saint: Your thanks have been received, compared to the life-saving grace of the Medicine Saint, these small gifts are not enough, please accept them with a smile!" There is no signature at the end of the letter.
God knows, for these few lines, a certain man wrote and tore, tore and wrote, tossed and tossed for an afternoon. Just to show her the most perfect font. It's a pity that a little girl who doesn't know how to appreciate it, after reading it, she threw the letter aside, hugged the silkworm silk, and wondered what style of dirty clothes to make.
The silkworm silk is too skin-friendly and too comfortable! The muslin underwear on Gu Ye's body, although it is also quite comfortable, is easy to wrinkle, and rolling around on the bed is like rotten pickles. The silk silk is soft and comfortable and not wrinkled, and wearing silk clothes is good for the body, and the same is true for the silk, right?
If Bai Jingxuan knew what Gu Ye was planning in his heart, he would definitely vomit blood in distress. The noble girl of the capital is proud of being able to have a silk handkerchief, and the silkworm silk is actually used to make underwear, which is too tyrannical, right?
However, Gu Xiao has been with the old general for many years, and he still has some knowledge. When Gu Ye, who noticed the benefits of the silkworm silk underwear, proposed to make a set of underwear for his grandfather and brother, he verbally refused.
Gu Xiao meddled in his granddaughter's belongings for the first time, and persuaded her to treasure the remaining clothes, so that she would grow up to make dresses in the future, or use them as a dowry when she got married, which would definitely attract her in-laws' family to take a look. Gu Ye saw that his grandfather was so solemn, so he didn't trouble this material again.
After returning from the town, Gu Xiao has not been idle. He and Zhang Orion were invited by their neighbors to help slaughter the pigs. Aunt Yan was also invited to help cook pig-killing dishes because of her good cooking skills. Gu Ye and Gu Ming worked together for a few days, touching their grandfather's light, and eating pig vegetables from east to west.
To kill the pig, it is necessary to invite relatives, friends and people who come to help to eat the pig. Killing pigs has almost all the parts of the pig's body into vegetables, such as pork bones, pig head meat, shredded meat, pig blood sausage, sauerkraut white meat, and lantern hanging - a full set of pigs into the water.
With Gu Ye on the side as a staff officer, Aunt Yan made all these odds and bits and pieces of pigs to the level of a big restaurant, braised pig's head, sauce pig's trotters, and pig's tail, which were well received by everyone. Gu Ye gnawed on the pig's tail and had a good time!
Before I knew it, Xiao Nian had arrived. Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky. On this day, the king of the stove is to be sacrificed. Legend has it that King Zao had stayed at home since Chinese New Year's Eve the previous year, supervising the family's actions, and on the 23rd day of the lunar month, King Zao would return to the Heavenly Court to report his duties to the Jade Emperor for the good and evil of the family, so that the Jade Emperor would reward and punish him, and at the same time, the fate of the good fortune and blessing that the family should receive in the new year would be handed over to King Zao.
Therefore, on the day of the New Year, people want to sacrifice to the stove, and people place all kinds of offerings on the table in front of the statue of the king of the stove, especially the stove sugar. This kind of food is sweet and sticky, symbolizing the use of stove sugar to stick to the mouth of the stove king, so that the stove prince can not go to heaven to say bad things about himself.
When he got up early in the morning, Gu Ye followed Aunt Yan to get busy. In addition to making a traditional cooktop with maltose, sesame seeds and flour. At Gu Ye's suggestion, he also boiled syrup with white sugar to make sesame candy, peanut candy, and various delicious pastries with unique tastes.
With the cold winter wind, the sweet fragrance wafted over Qingshan Village, attracting many children's coveted and coveted. Among them, there are Liu's two sons - Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang.
Da Zhuang couldn't hold back for a long time, and found out the origin of the fragrance. He was scratching his ears and cheeks in the yard in a hurry. This guy's eyes were rolling, and he said to Liu, who was making stove candy in the kitchen: "Mother, Gu Ye's dead girl, she made a lot of fragrant stove candy, as well as all kinds of pastries, and I don't know if I will honor my father." ”
Liu snorted and said, "That cheap girl who can't die, now that she is developed, she can't wait to draw a line with this side, and she can't get along with each other when she dies." How can you send a New Year's gift? ”
"Anyway, my father is also Gu Ming Gu Ye's father, she has done such a great job, she is not afraid that others will label them as unfilial?" Da Zhuang's fat face was crumpled.
Liu pinched two pieces of stove candy, one stuffed into Da Zhuang's mouth, and the other for him to bring to his younger brother: "People are now holding big thick legs, and they are not afraid of others talking at all!" Alright, take your brother to the village to play. I'll make dumplings for you to eat at night! ”
Da Zhuang saw that he couldn't get any benefits from relying on his father, so he frowned and made a plan. He beckoned to his younger brother, who was picking up chickens in the yard, stuffed half a piece of stove candy into his mouth, and asked, "Is it sweet, is it delicious?" ”
"Delicious!" Xiao Zhuang's teeth were stuck by the stove sugar, saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, and he slurred his words, "I want to!" ”
"It's gone!" Da Zhuang stuffed the other half of his hand into his mouth and said with a smile. Xiao Zhuang's face suddenly turned cloudy, and there was a trend of heavy rain immediately.
Da Zhuang hurriedly said: "I know where there is better sugar than this, and you can eat as much as you want there." Not only sugar, but also delicious cakes! ”
"Eat cakes, sugar cakes!!" When Xiao Zhuang heard this, he immediately became energetic, and took Da Zhuang's hand and pulled out, "Brother, go eat cakes!" ”
Da Zhuang took Xiao Zhuang and followed the thick sweet fragrance, climbed up half of the mountain beam, and came to the gate of Gu Xiao's house. He pointed to the brand-new gate and whispered to Xiao Zhuang: "Do you smell it, is it fragrant?" There are a lot of delicious things in it, and you can eat them when you go inside. ”
Da Zhuang felt that Xiao Zhuang was Gu Ming and Gu Ye's younger brother after all, and his blood was there. Now that Xiao Zhuang has come to the door, can you not bring him some candy and pastries? Wouldn't you be able to eat some of it yourself?
