Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 93
The lady was fine when she came, but when she left, her face was covered with a veil, only two eyes were exposed, and she lowered her head when she walked, as if she was afraid of being seen by others.

After the couple had left, Xiao Er went up to clean the room, only to find that the bed was covered in blood.

The shopkeeper suspects that the couple are thieves who abducted people in the store for money and murder. They dare not report to the officials because there is no body, and the couple cannot be found. If there is influence, this matter is suppressed.

Afterwards, if any guest stayed in that room, he would find out that he was frightened and fainted when he went in the next morning, or he would leave with his luggage on his back in the middle of the night, and refused to stay in it without saying anything. Only then did the shopkeeper know about that room. haunted.

He was scared, so he took time to go to Chunyang Temple, and asked for a magic talisman.Shangguanfeng asked him to stick the magic talisman in the haunted guest room, but the shopkeeper didn't take it out for use because he was afraid of getting revenge from the female ghost because he didn't have the courage to enter the room.

Last night, I was in a hurry. Seeing that there were old and young in the Lu family, I was afraid that something might happen, so I secretly pasted the talisman under the table.

However, today Lu Jinyao said that she slept well last night and nothing happened, which really made the proprietress terrified.

Last night, the horrifying female ghost appeared in front of her and said to her: "You actually let people live in my room and disturb my practice. This is unforgivable! If you do it again next time, I will strangle you." kill you!"

Thinking back to the scene last night, the landlady was so frightened that she froze, and hurriedly returned the rent to Lu Jinyao.

Lu Jinyao knew it well, and laughed secretly, but didn't ask any more questions, and went straight back to her family with the money, ready to buy new year's goods.

The first stop today is naturally a clothing store.

Originally, Lu Jinyao planned to order clothes directly from the shop he opened, but after thinking about it, first of all, the fabrics in his shop are all high-quality, and second, the styles are also novel and unique, which are really eye-catching in the countryside , will inevitably lead to criticism.The real rich people don't show their wealth. Only the upstarts wear gold chains on their bodies for fear that others will not know that they don't have money. It's not a good thing that their own family's performance is too eye-catching. There was no way to live, so I decided to buy clothes in the county.

After all, the county seat is a county seat, so the grade is naturally much higher than that of the town, and the styles of clothes are also popular nowadays, the fabrics are also good, and the prices are fair.

The whole Lu family has chosen new clothes for the New Year, and they haven't forgotten to choose one for Lu Hanfeng and Lu Boming.

After getting out of the ready-made clothing store, the next thing to buy is the dry goods needed for the Chinese New Year.

Common dry goods include fungus, seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, red dates, cinnamon, pepper, pepper, anise, cumin, pepper, wolfberry, longan, peanuts, tangerine peel, raisins and so on.According to the type, it is divided into dried fruits, dried vegetables, seasonings, etc., and there are so many. It is not possible to buy them all in one store, and you have to go to many places.

Because it is Chinese New Year, we need to prepare more dry goods.Especially Lu Jinyao loves to eat pine nuts, longan and raisins. Longan and raisins can also be used in daily cooking and medicinal meals, and more preparations are required.

The Lu family went to the roasted seeds and nuts shop first, but they didn't expect to see an acquaintance when they looked up.

Isn't that woman who walks with twists and turns, holding a child in her arms, Lu Nuan!

Pine nuts are the seeds of pine trees, sweet in taste, mild in nature, non-toxic, rich in fat, protein, carbohydrates, etc.It is not only an important traditional Chinese medicine, but it is mainly used to treat bone and joint rheumatism, dizziness, dispelling rheumatism, moisturizing the five internal organs, alleviating hunger, expelling wind and numbness and cold, and being weak, and also has the effects of moistening the lungs and smoothing the intestines, and curing dryness and cough. The medicinal use has given a high evaluation.

At the same time, pine nuts also have high dietary value. Long-term food can strengthen the heart, moisturize the skin, beautify the skin, and prolong life.In addition, pine nuts have a good tonic effect on the brain and nerves, and also have a good preventive effect on senile dementia.

According to myths and legends, the ancient immortals, the gods in charge of rain distribution, red pine nuts, ate pine nuts, asparagus, and stone fat, and their teeth fell out and hair fell out.

Most types of pine trees can only produce tiny seeds with wings, and only a few species such as Korean pine and Huashan pine can produce edible pine nuts, which are usually regarded as "longevity fruit".

The pine nuts mentioned here are the pine nuts of Korean pine.

Pine nuts are edible, can be used as an auxiliary material for candy and cakes, and can also be used as a substitute for vegetable oil.Pine nut oil, in addition to being edible, is also an important raw material for dry paint and leather industry.The pine nut bark can be used to make dyes, activated carbon, etc.

In Lu Jinyao's previous life, in the Qing Dynasty, pine nuts were listed as an imperial food.

Even in the previous life, the price of pine nuts was not particularly affordable, and this thing could not be stored for a long time, once it turned oily, the taste would immediately deteriorate, so it was not available all year round.

It is conceivable that the price of pine nuts is expensive in the Tianqi Dynasty, and only dignitaries can afford it.

Therefore, although Lu Jinyao was looking forward to buying pine nuts, she was also worried whether there would be such precious food for sale in this small county.Of course, she is more concerned about the taste of the pine nuts here, whether they are good or not.

Apart from pine nuts, her other favorite snacks in her previous life were beef jerky, especially the ones with beef tendon on them. Others couldn't chew them, so she hugged them happily and chewed them.It's a pity that beef in this world can only be watched but not eaten, and she can only drool.If she really wanted to kill a cow and eat beef by herself, even in the space, she couldn't do it.

What's more, only she can eat delicious food alone, and her family can't eat it, so it doesn't taste good.

Lu Jinyao was feeling sad that she couldn't eat beef jerky, but when she looked up, she saw Lu Nuan.

It's like putting on a new pair of shoes and stepping on dog shit, which is awkward.Thinking of having to see Lu Nuan again during the Chinese New Year, Lu Jinyao suddenly felt that this year would suddenly turn bad.

Lu Nuan happened to turn around and saw the Lu family. She looked them up and down, and found that their clothes were quite different from the shabby and dilapidated ones in her impression, but she still looked down on Lu Jinyao's family from the bottom of her heart, so she just let out a cold snort : "Brother, you have also entered the city."

Lu Bingwen's face was calm, he nodded to Lu Nuan, and stopped talking.

Lian Susu said with a smile: "Junjun grows really fast. It's a coincidence. He looks so handsome, so attractive."

"Of course, I don't even look at whose son this is. Others won't be envious." Lu Nuan twisted her waist and accepted Lian Susu's compliment unceremoniously. white.

The corners of Lu Jinyao's eyes twitched, and just as she was about to speak, Lian Susu smiled gently: "Junjun, you have to study hard when you grow up, and try to be an eight-year-old desk chief just like your cousin .”
