Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 61 Mallow
The maid A Qing is a good girl with a pure mind, which is why she was selected by Mrs. Gongsunda to serve the Gongsun siblings.

Gongsunda's wife, Qian, was a concubine from a wealthy family in western Liaoning. She was also a delicate and comprehensive thinker.

Following Gongsunda's orders, Qian stayed at the school captain's house overnight to vacate the courtyard where his eldest daughter was getting married. She sincerely selected the best furniture, bed tents, clothes, and servants.

Especially the two maids, the naive and heartless Ah Qing and the kind-hearted Alan.

Qian didn't know what Gongsun Yan's temper was like and whether he had suffered anything in this war-torn world, so he specially selected the two most obedient, careless and talkative people to serve him.

At this time, Ah Qing was waiting for Gongsun Yan, who was kneeling on a four-legged square table, to wash himself.

After a night of calming down, Gongsun Yan used the system that was refreshed today for free treatment. His walnut-like eyes gradually became less swollen. Although he secretly cried alone all night, he was still in good spirits.

At this time, Zheng was as obedient as a doll, letting Ah Qing play around with her.

In this era, she had no memory of what procedures a woman from an aristocratic family would go through when she got up in the morning.

She has been in a state of marching since she came to this era. She can walk, sit or lie down as she pleases. Even if she doesn't follow the rules, Zhao Yun and others will not comment.

However, now that we are living in other people's homes, we still have to abide by some rules.

In order not to show any timidity, she knelt down on the bench in the room and let the maid Ah Qing bring her green salt in slow motion. She dipped a tooth towel in the salt to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth.

In Gongsun Yan's time, later generations often thought of the ancients as being very sloppy, but in fact, the Han Dynasty medical book "Health Prescriptions" contained a record of "pecking teeth day and night to prevent cavities", and advocated the use of mouthwash to treat oral diseases.

However, only the nobles can enjoy this kind of teeth-cleaning treatment with green salt.

In this era, the vast majority of civilians are not that particular and are severely malnourished. They usually start to lose their teeth when they are young, so they have no time to worry about dental caries.

The stove nearby was radiating heat, and Ah Qing was using a comb to comb Gongsun Yan's long hair.

Gongsun Yan licked his teeth gently. The disposable toothbrush could barely clean the tooth surface, but the edges and crevices could not be brushed, and the green salt used for brushing his teeth also had a slightly astringent taste.

"Oops." Ah Qing held Gongsun Yan's hair and cried out with some pity, "My wife, there are some burnt spots on her hair, but she accidentally got caught in the candlelight?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Yan smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

In fact, these are the products left behind when she escaped from the fire scene in Yi Jing that day.

Systemic treatment could indeed cure the burns on her shoulders and back, but the burnt long hair could not be restored.

She held the scissors and cut off the burnt ends of her hair, but she couldn't do anything about the top of her head, so she had no choice but to let it go.

Ah Qing seemed to have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He copied the small copper scissors for eyebrow trimming from the woman's makeup package and trimmed them one by one for Gongsun Yan.

Gongsun Yan knelt down on the wooden platform, and the familiar itching crawled up her feet. She hurriedly stopped Ah Qing, who was in high spirits.

Ah Qing put down the scissors with some regret and stared at the burnt and curled ends of Gongsunyan's hair on the back with unsatisfied eyes, "My lady's hair is black and shiny. It's a pity that it's burnt."

"What kind of bun do you want?" Ah Qing held up another bronze mirror and read out a bunch of nouns: fringed bun, side bun, deer bun, double snail bun...

"Just do it in the simplest way." Gongsunyan replied with a smile. She didn't know any of the buns A Qing was talking about.

"Oh..." Ah Qing felt a little regretful. Lady Gongsun's hair was dark, thick and smooth, so it would be a waste to wear it in a single bun.

While Ah Qing was combing her hair, the maid Alan knocked on the door and came in, holding a tray with two lacquer bowls each filled with a cup of pitch-black soup.

Gongsun Yan's face stiffened. She told a random lie yesterday, and the doctor who came to treat Gongsun Cheng also prescribed some medicine for her.

I don’t know what kind of medicine it is, it’s sour and bitter.

Under the watchful eyes of the two maids, Ah Qing and Alan, she couldn't help but drink, and she couldn't bear to take a sip, so she pretended to hold spoon after spoon in her hand and drank. It can be said that she tasted it very carefully, and the only one who suffered in it was herself. Know.

Following Alan were two strong servants. They carried a table with some soup and porridge on it.

Gongsun Yan glanced at it, probably to take care of their siblings. It was similar to the food delivered last night. It was easy to digest and nutritious.

There were two bowls of steamed corn rice with dried fruits, and two bowls of meat soup that could be used to top the rice. It was unknown what kind of animal meat it was. It didn't taste bad, but it was far from delicious.

There is also a small plate of boiled mallow. Mallow was the first of the five dishes until the Yuan Dynasty. It was only replaced by Chinese cabbage after the Yuan Dynasty.

Sprinkled with some salt flowers, it has its own mucilage. It tastes fat, tender and smooth, and it is neither unpleasant nor unpleasant to eat.

However, because mallow cannot be stored well, in this early spring in the North, having a small plate of mallow on the dining table is already a top treat.

With just the small bowl of dry rice, meat soup and winter sunflower on the dining table, Gongsun Yan's treatment and living standard for this morning meal had already surpassed [-]% of people in this era.

Gongsun Yan sighed inwardly. She knew that this was the best treatment that Gongsun Da's family could arrange.

After barely taking a few bites, I heard a slight sound coming from behind the screen.

Arriving in a strange place for the first time, looking at the unfamiliar bed tents and no familiar people around him, Gongsun Cheng's face showed panic, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

It wasn't until he saw Gongsun Yan walking around the screen that he got up on his hands and knees and threw himself into Gongsun Yan's arms, "Sister."

Gongsun Yan first held him in his arms and comforted him for a moment, then took him out and sat behind the dining table, coaxing him to eat some corn porridge.

Seeing the maids and servants serving around him, Gongsun Cheng was obviously uncomfortable. He hugged Gongsun Yan's neck tightly and buried his head in her neck.

I saw the child who was a little more lively just a few days ago, but after yesterday's incident, the situation became more serious than before.

Seeing that he refused to speak or let go, Gongsun Yan had no choice but to ask all the maids and servants to leave.

The maids and servants filed out and closed the door. He glanced timidly to make sure no one was there before he raised his head.

"Sister, where are we?"

Gongsun Yan stroked his back gently in a soothing manner, "We are now in Xiangguan. It is safe now. We can see my grandfather in a few days."

grandfather?Gongsun Cheng didn't have much reaction to this word. What caught his attention was another word - safety.

"Is it really safe?" He buried his head in Gongsun Yan's shoulder again and asked in a low voice, would there be no more danger?Will no one ever hurt them again?
Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly: "Yes, it's safe."
