The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 31 Preparation
A vegetable garden was opened on the left and right sides of the backyard of the Guanyin Temple, where common local vegetables were planted. The vegetable beds were neatly tidied up, except for some weeds growing beside the fence and under the courtyard wall.Lin Ruyu wandered around the fence before pulling out a handful of dandelions and returning to the kitchen.

Seeing her come back, Shen Ge pointed to the basket next to him, and said, "I packed most of the edible and usable things in the kitchen, and I will send them to the east courtyard later, and you keep them properly. This temple has not been flooded." Yan, people will come live soon, and we can’t stop them. If we don’t take these things, they will take them too. When more people come, my third uncle, my son, and I will also move to the east courtyard Let's go. Let's guard the east courtyard and wait until the flood recedes before going down the mountain."

Lin Ruyu also had this intention, but she hadn't had time to clean up in the future, "I hope the two from the temple can come back."

"It's been raining for a long time, and they haven't come back, so I'm afraid it will be difficult." Shen Ge said while cleaning the purslane that Lin Ruyu had picked, "Do you like this?"

Lin Ruyu explained, "purslane is also called longevity vegetable, which can clear away heat and dampness, detoxify and relieve stranguria. Chop it up and put it in porridge, it can stop malnutrition and dysentery, and cure abdominal pain. We soaked in floods and rained, so Drink a few bowls of purslane porridge to prevent dysentery."

Shen Ge looked up at Lin Ruyu with his starry eyes, and half-jokingly said, "Second sister knows a lot. Isn't your family in the cloth business, don't you also sell medicinal materials and open a medical clinic?"

"Well, there are several medical clinics that sell medicinal materials." Seeing Shen Ge's exaggerated expression with round eyes and wide mouth, Lin Ruyu laughed.

The Lin family is indeed in the business of medicinal materials, but she did not learn her mastery of medicinal materials and pharmacology from the Lin family.

During the 17 years she was an orphan, the director of her orphanage came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine.Lin Ruyu had to learn to memorize the atlas and pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine since she was sensible, and when she was older, she followed to the back mountain to take care of the medicinal materials planted on the mountain.

The dean arranged this not to train the children to become doctors, but to make the orphanage a bit special.Because only when the orphanage is unique, can it be paid attention to and worthy of reporting.With attention and reports, there will be traffic and honor.These can be exchanged for money.If it weren't for this money, Lin Ruyu, who has a congenital heart disease, would not have lived to be 17 years old.

But these things cannot be said to people.Because don't say they don't believe it, if the impression was not too deep and real, Lin Ruyu herself would have suspected that the past 17 years were just a dream of hers.

Seeing that the second sister who was amused by him stopped smiling, Shen Ge scratched his head, wondering what she was worrying about.Didn't her mother and younger brother come back?
Lin Ruyu washed the dandelion, put it in the medicine jar in the kitchen and boiled it for a while, then put the medicine jar on the small kitchen table, and called Shen Ge who was washing the vegetables, "Don't wash the vegetables, come here and use this heat to fumigate the pimples on your arms. For the wound, wait until the medicine is no longer hot, and then use the juice to scrub the wound."

I have a name... Shen Ge muttered something secretly, stepped forward and asked, "Is this also useful?"

"Only this medicine, although it is not very useful, but it is somewhat helpful." When Chen Ge was sitting at the table to fumigate the wound on his arm, Lin Ruyu neatly fished out the purslane and chopped it, put it in the pot, Bring to a simmer.

Shen Ge, who was sitting at the table, confirmed that there was no one around, then told the story of An Ziyuan in a low voice, and then said, "I speculate that his real name is not An Ziyuan, even if his real name is An Ziyuan, It's not about 'Let Cai An go far away'. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a poisonous oath."

Daxia people respect gods and ghosts, and they value oaths very much. If they don't have a clear conscience, they will not swear poisonously.What An Ziyuan said was definitely not all, but he swore.

Lin Ruyu was in a trance. If even the name An Ziyuan was fake, then who is he?

Could it be that he really set his sights on him for the sake of the Lin family's money?But with the ability of Sichun around him, and his status that Fan Genyuan respects, how could he be short of money?
The heat fumigation of the wound was uncomfortable. Shen Ge, who was fighting the pain, didn't notice the change in Lin Ruyu's expression, and continued, "He didn't go to Cai'an to go far away, so he won't be able to stay for a few days when he goes back to Cai'an. Maybe he will go Xia Cai turned around and left."

Lin Ruyu came back to her senses, and followed this line of thought to analyze, "If it is true or not, you can send someone to find out. Even Xia Cai was submerged in the flood, but it shouldn't be difficult to find someone like An Ziyuan. An Ziyuan is very suspicious. Seriously, if you force him to swear today, he will definitely be suspicious, don’t leave the temple these few days, and don’t stay alone in the temple, lest he hit you hard.”

"I know, he didn't want to kill me for a day or two."

After the porridge in the pot was cooked, Shen Ge carried the basket on his back, carrying half of the pot of porridge covered with the pot cover, and sent Lin Ruyu back to the east courtyard. Yes, stuff everything that can be eaten and used into the back basket, take it back to the kitchen in the west courtyard, eat it with the three of them, and then return to the east wing, lay down on the bed and sleep soundly.

It was almost time, when An Jiachun went to the backyard to prepare lunch for his eldest son, he found that there was nothing in the kitchen except a dirty pot, and his nose was almost crooked.

Lin Ruyu, who returned to the east courtyard, warmed the porridge together with the wooden plate in the pot, kneaded some noodles, and put it on the side of the pot to ferment.

After washing her hands, Lin Ruyu boiled the few dandelions she had pulled back just now, fumigated and scrubbed the scratches on her body.Having been a patient for 17 years, Lin Ruyu attaches great importance to health issues.

Putting away the dried clothes and bringing them back to the house, Lin Ruyu sat at the table watching over her mother and younger brother, mending the clothes.

Fang woke up and looked at her daughter for a long while, then wiped away the tears she didn't know when, and got up.

Lin Ruyu heard the movement, quickly put down her needle and thread, walked to the bed, and said in a low voice, "Is your mother's head still hurting?"

Fang smiled and held his daughter's little hand, "Mother is much better, she doesn't have to lie down all the time. Jiaojiao brings the needle and thread, and Mother will mend it."

"I'll mend it right away." Lin Ruyu first touched the teapot on the table, and found that the water was still warm, so she poured a bowl for her mother and brought it to her mother, then brought the brown coarse trousers that she was mending in front of her mother. She said with embarrassment, "This is brother Dafu's pants. The conditions are poor now, so my daughter can only mend them for him."

Fang sat on the bed, mending the hole in his trousers that was hung by the branches.

Although it was raining outside, although the flood was raging and there was no food or clothing, Lin Ruyu looked at her mother and felt that the years were peaceful.

Mrs. Fang discussed with his daughter, "Dafu is a good boy with a solid heart. He saved your life. When we return to Xuanzhou and your father comes back, we will transfer Dafu's name to our Dafang's. From now on , Mother raised him like her own son. What does Jiaojiao think?"

If I can save my mother, I will definitely be able to save my father who will return from sea next year!Lin Ruyu leaned lightly on her mother's lap, and replied, "Well, after Dafu, he will be my brother."

The two talked for a while, and little Ah Heng also woke up, and it was noon, Lin Ruyu asked little Ah Heng to deliver Dafu's clothes to the Westinghouse, and woke him up to prepare for dinner.

Holding an umbrella, he helped his mother to the kitchen and let her sit by the stove. Lin Ruyu rolled up her sleeves and lifted the bamboo curtain on the basin. The meeting had already begun, and the smile on her face became brighter.

Fang looked at the rough dough on the earthenware dish in surprise, and said in amazement, "Jiaojiao has learned how to make dough?"
