Chapter 42 Like a dream

With outsiders present, Shen Qingrou silently listened to her orders.

Mrs. Shen embarrassedly greeted Su Yue to come into the room and sit down.

"It's okay, I'll see what she wants to do." Su Yue became more curious and waved her hand.

"You're not stupid standing here, do you know how to look for honey?" Li Erya asked Sun Ji while making lye from plant ash. Immortal grass needs some ingredients.

"I will." Sun Ji nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, go find some honey and come back." Li Erya was happy, she was short of some beeswax.

Sun Ji responded, asked her for a clean cloth and went out.

As for Li Erya, she was speeding up the making of jelly and lye, and with Shen Qingrou's help, she could not delay either side, except for cooking.

With Su Yue around, Mrs. Shen couldn't say anything, so she just stood outside as a companion.

The children were all over from school, and Shen Nanzhou came to invite them in person, so Su Yue followed him into the house reluctantly, and called Mrs. Shen in along the way, to give her a safety pulse.

Li Erya has just prepared the proportions. It is estimated that one bowl of straw ash is added to two bowls of water. Stir it well and put it on the pot to steam. It will take two hours at the earliest to wait for the alkaline water to come out.

If you want alkaline water with higher purity, it is best to leave it overnight, but she wanted to make the finished product as soon as possible, so she only waited for two hours.

Before the alkaline water was ready, Sun Ji came back with two beehives, and Shen Nanzhou stayed for a meal.

Sun Ji was thinking about making money from this fairy grass, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks after only eating one bowl. He was also a little embarrassed to eat too much, so he could only wait for Li Erya anxiously.

"Eat another bowl, you will be busy later." Li Erya glanced at him, calculated the portions for each person, and didn't want to leave food.

Sun Ji took a peek at Mrs. Shen and Shen Nanzhou, and saw that they had no intention of stopping them, so he went to get more food in embarrassment, but he was just too embarrassed to eat food.

"Don't be a fool, I'll just wait for you to make something good, and I won't go to collect herbs." Su Yue asked impatiently after finishing his meal.

"Okay, I'll go and see if the lye is ready." Li Erya said to Sun Ji after eating the last bite of rice, "You take the honey away, and the beeswax is mine. It's my reward."

"No, no, you will have a share of the money after selling it." Sun Ji was rather embarrassed, and he never thought that he could exchange fairy grass for big money, he just thought that he could earn a penny.

Li Erya glanced at him, did not continue to argue with him, but went to see if the alkaline water was ready.

Shen Nanzhou and the others followed to watch the excitement.

With lye water, it is much faster to make jelly. It may be that the weather is too hot, and the purity of lye water is not so good. It took nearly an hour to artificially cool down.

The children all came back to school, and Shen Nanzhou had to go back to school, so he could only watch their excitement.

"It's done." Li Erya took out a hot kitchen knife, cut the jelly into fine pieces, left a bowl for Mrs. Shen and the others, and added honey.

"Okay, let's sell the remaining ones. Remember to return the pots when they are sold out. If you still have fairy grass in your place, bring it back tomorrow, and I will make it for you. It takes time to make lye, and I will teach you tomorrow. Bar."

Sun Ji couldn't believe his ears, but when he heard her teach him the price and selling, he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Don't lose your life." Li Erya was taken aback by him, and she reacted quickly and stopped him, "Go, go, go to the city tomorrow, and sell it in a nearby village today. They have made some money, so they should be willing to try it." A fresh one."

"Hey." Sun Ji nodded repeatedly, and set off with two large bowls of jelly.

Except for Qingshui Village, I dare not go to the nearby villages, but you can still take a walk in other villages.

The jelly is sold for two cents a bowl, and with honey added, it can cool off the summer heat. Some people tasted it and praised it endlessly, and adults and children immediately surrounded it.

Sun Ji looked at the jelly that was about to bottom out. The wooden basin was empty and the money bag was bulging. He felt like he was dreaming. He pinched himself and yelled a few more times, and the rest were sold out.

In the Shen family, Shen Muyin tasted jelly, and before he finished eating, he hurriedly brought his father's portion to him.

Li Erya continued to make lye water non-stop. The high-purity lye water can be stored for a long time, so make more spares, so that you can make some rice dumplings when the time comes.

Su Yue had a taste of it, and gathered around Li Erya to talk to her about making Chinese patent medicines.

Li Erya just received a sum of money, and she was really tempted, but she also had scruples, hesitated for a moment, but still used the excuse that she didn't understand the content of the book thoroughly, and had to wait.

"What don't you understand, you ask me, I'll teach you." Su Yue said quickly.

"I'll think about it first and then sort it out." Li Erya said after a moment of silence. turned over.

"That's fine, I'll wait for you. If there is any problem sorted out, I will know everything and talk about it." Su Yue looked at her squarely for a moment, and said helplessly.

One side nurtures one side with water and soil, and there are a lot of local herbs that can be used, and the price is still very cheap. It is even cheaper to go to the mountain to collect herbs for consultation. The reputation of Huichuntang can be said to be rising.

Regarding the herbal medicine here in Taichuan County, Su Yue wanted to have a good chat with her, because in her eyes, every inconspicuous weed is a treasure.

Li Erya was not stingy, after all, Su Yue's intentions were good, and it was the common people who benefited, so he talked about some of the most common and commonly used herbs.

Su Yue nodded again and again, and said the reason for coming this time, that is, there is a set of distilling equipment that has been eliminated in the distillery, and asked her when she can go and have a look.

"I'll take a look sometime." Li Erya calculated Shen Nanzhou's rest time, and gave him a definite answer, "Do you think it's okay?"

"I think it's okay. I'll talk to Feng Dong's family after I go back." Su Yue said with a smile, and then said goodbye to her contentedly, and happily went up the mountain to collect herbs.

Li Erya glanced at his back, looked down at the prepared plant ash water, all that was left was to wait, and the high-purity lye water could be obtained overnight.

The problem of alkaline water can basically be solved, and there is one more thing, the money earned today is still in her hands, part of it belongs to Shen Qingrou, and Li Erya gave her the part of Shen Qingrou, which is a full [-] Wen .

Shen Qingrou hesitated for a while and gave the money to her mother.

"You can keep the money you earn, and you can buy something yourself if you want to buy something." Madam Shen glanced at Li Erya. She thought that she would treat Li Erya like this when she thought about treating everyone equally. Her own daughter must not be treated badly. up.

"My brother needs money to study, mother, you should keep it. I will ask you for money if I want to spend it." Shen Qingrou thought for a while, and gave her all the money, and suddenly thought that Li Erya had more than this in her hand. Some money, can't help but glance at her.
