Peasant girl farming: I did beauty in ancient times

Chapter 12 Digging Aloe Vera

After dinner, Lin Yuehua planted aloe vera in the yard, and used a section of fresh aloe vera slices to apply to her face.

While Lin Erya was asleep, she shaved her eyebrows with an eyebrow trimmer bought in the mall, and her rough eyebrows became more delicate. Lin Yuehua's next goal was to gain weight.

She really couldn't bear to look straight at this ribbed figure!
After taking a bath, Lin Yuehua slept comfortably. Before going to bed, she thought: This quilt must be replaced, and this wooden board must be replaced with a bed. Make money!Make money!
Sleep till dawn.

"Sister, get up and eat!" Lin Erya called in Lin Yuehua's ear.

what time is it?Lin Yuehua got up with a jolt.By the way, Zhang Chunsheng said today that he was going to dig aloe vera.

Breakfast was made by Erya, sweet potato porridge, and a fried vegetable. Lin Yuehua went to Zhang Xiucai's house with a basket on his back after eating, and Lin Erya followed.

"Auntie, where's Brother Chunsheng?" Lin Yuehua went to Zhang's courtyard.

"In the house, Chunsheng, the big girl is here to find you." Aunt Zhang's loud voice rang out.

Zhang Chunsheng was dressed in black and short brown today, and he was neat and tidy. He walked out with a smile on his brows and eyes, and his eyes stayed on Lin Yuehua's face for a moment.

Zhang Chunsheng took the lead, and the three went to the mountain together. During the period, they met Lin Xiudi who was going to pick mushrooms. Lin Xiudi wanted to go with her, and the team became four people.

"Brother Zhang, are you going to pick mushrooms too?" Lin Xiudi smiled sweetly at Zhang Chunsheng.

"Go pick a plant, the big girl said it's called aloe vera. If you don't go along the way, you can go first."

Lin Xiudi hurriedly said: "I'm on the way, where picking mushrooms is not picking."

"Well."

Lin Yuehua didn't interrupt, and let the two of them chat. She carefully identified the plants in the mountains and forests to see if there were any that could be used. When she went to the powder shop yesterday, she came up with the idea of ​​making her own cosmetics, although she didn't have the ones she had in the laboratory. She can manually extract and make those advanced equipment, which is just time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Hey, this is an anise tree." Lin Yuehua was in a happy mood. This is a good thing. The fruit can be used as seasoning, and the leaves can also be used as spices.

"If it doesn't bloom, the ripe fruit will be called fennel." Zhang Chunsheng said.

Medicine shop!Has this dynasty not discovered the seasoning value of star anise?She thought it was because the Lin family village was poor that few people bought seasonings.

"Chunsheng, do we need to buy the fennel and cinnamon at the herb shop?" Lin Yuehua looked at Zhang Chunsheng with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, don't you remember? When we were young, we picked fennel and dried it to sell. At that time, Aunt Zhang was still there." Zhang Chunsheng realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"It's okay." Lin Yuehua didn't care, the original owner's mother died when Da Niu Lin was nine years old.

"Sister, I know that cinnamon bark is a medicinal material. Grandpa Lin said that it is hot in nature, sweet and pungent in taste, fragrant in smell, and non-toxic. It has the functions of warming the stomach, dispelling cold, activating blood and relaxing tendons, dredging the meridians, relieving pain, and relieving diarrhea."

What Lin Erya said surprised Lin Yuehua. This little girl has a good memory of medicinal materials.

Zhang Chunsheng smiled gently: "Our erya is really good."

Seeing the three of them talking and laughing, Lin Xiudi bit her lip with her teeth and chased after them.

"Big girl, it's here, do you see that one?"

Following the direction of Zhang Chunsheng's finger, Lin Yuehua saw a piece of aloe vera. She immediately thought about the problem of transplanting. She still needs to experiment in the early stage, so she will plant it in her own yard. If she succeeds, she will plant it in large quantities.

"Yes, Chunsheng, thank you for leading the way." Lin Yuehua was very happy and immediately started digging, and Lin Erya followed suit, although she didn't know what it would be useful for.

"Big girl, I'll help you." Zhang Chunsheng also joined in.

Lin Xiudi watched from the side, thinking that there might be something wrong with Lin Daniu's brain, and it would be better to pick more fungi when digging up the wild seedlings that have thorns on them and can't be eaten or used.

"Chunsheng, it's enough for you to dig two. We'll pick the mushrooms later." Lin Yuehua smiled brightly at Zhang Chunsheng.

This smile matched Miss Lin's face, although it was not good-looking or even a bit ugly, but Zhang Chunsheng somehow felt that this smile was very contagious, and he seemed to be happy too, with a hint of pampering in his tone unconsciously: "Okay, no dug."

Lin Yuehua was going to make aloe vera gel, but she hadn't made it yet, and she didn't know if it would be sold, so she didn't tell Zhang Chunsheng her plan, only letting him think that she wanted to grow some green plants on a whim.

They walked back, looking for mushrooms and fungus as they walked.

"Chunsheng, you are a scholar now, are you going to take the township examination next?" Lin Yuehua chatted while looking for fungi.

"The township examination is held every three years. I will end up in two years. My husband said that I still need to settle down. I also feel that I have many shortcomings. I will try in two years."

Lin Xiudi listened from the side, she thought that scholars were the most powerful, and Zhang Chunsheng was one of the scholars who ate public rations, and he was the first young student in Shili Bacun.

She heard Da Niu Lin go on to say: "You need to calm down when you study. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. But don't worry."

Lin Xiudi sneered in her heart, what does Miss Lin know, she pretends to be there, and even brazenly leans forward to preach, why can't you go to heaven if you can say so!

"what!"

"elder sister!"

"Big girl!"

A scream and two exclamations came, and Lin Xiudi saw Zhang Chunsheng and Lin Erya running towards Da Niu Lin.

"It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally fell and sprained my ankle." Lin Yuehua sat on the ground, a little embarrassed, she was so big, she was only focused on picking fungus, and didn't notice that she tripped over a dead wood stake.

"Erya, give me a hand." Lin Yuehua stood up, and after walking a few steps, her feet hurt so much that she was about to cry, and she opened her trouser legs to see where her ankle was swollen.

"Sister, you are angry with your ankle, wait for me, I'll go pick some herbs."

After Lin Erya finished speaking, she disappeared like a rabbit.

"Big girl, why don't I carry you down the mountain." Zhang Chunsheng frowned, a little anxiously.

Without waiting for Lin Yuehua to answer, Lin Xiudi shouted loudly: "No!"

Zhang Chunsheng and Lin Yuehua looked over, and Lin Xiudi realized that she had gone too far, showing a trace of embarrassment on her face: "I mean, let's wait for Erya, I'm afraid she won't find us when she comes back."

"Yes. Let's listen to Xiudi, wait for Erya, I should be able to leave after a while." Lin Yuehua nodded in agreement.

After a cup of tea, Lin Erya came back, still holding a grass that Lin Yuehua didn't know.

"After applying this herbal medicine, my sister will not hurt anymore." Lin Erya hugged the herbal medicine neatly with a handkerchief, smashed it with a stone, and applied it on Lin Yuehua's ankle.

Lin Yuehua thought to herself that this was probably a herbal medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, not to mention it really relieved a lot.

"Erya, it's really useful. I'm much better. I'll try to walk by myself." After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Yuehua felt that she could walk.

"Big girl, let me help you." Lin Xiudi stepped forward enthusiastically.

Lin Yuehua didn't think too much, and sincerely thanked: "Xiu Di, thank you very much, I have caused you trouble."
