my wonderful zoo

Chapter 55 Mother's Love
Knock knock knock!
Chen Xun spent too much time at the Wonderful Zoo last night, so he went to bed late. He had just slept for two or three hours when he heard a knock on the bedroom door.

"Who?"

"Mr. Lang, Madam is here to see you." Chen Qin's voice came from outside the door.

Recently, Chen Xun has gotten used to Chen Qin's care, which has caused Chen Qin to gain more and more power in this small courtyard, and he can do more and more things.

The few personal guards who had taken care of Chen Xun in the past rarely came into the small courtyard. The guards also stayed outside the courtyard. Unless there was heavy physical labor, Chen Qin would call them in to help.

"Wait a moment!" Chen Xun responded.

Mother doesn't come here often, so there must be something to talk about when she comes here, so Chen Xun had to brace himself up and get up.Fortunately, I have obtained the "Horse Elegance" bonus, and my sleep quality is very good. I have basically recovered my mental and physical strength after less than three hours of rest.

After getting dressed and opening the door, Chen Qin had prepared the toiletries outside.

This kind of meticulous service is really addictive. No wonder men in later generations like good wives and loving mothers. It is indeed very comfortable.

I washed my face with pig soap and brushed my teeth with a pig toothbrush dipped in sea salt. I felt much refreshed.

Looking at the pig soap in the wooden box, Chen Xun thought of his continuous failures in making soap. He sighed in his heart, wondering how other time travelers made it, and why he couldn't make it himself.

Although pig soap soap has the word "soap", it is completely different from soap.

Pig pancreas soap is also called "bath bean". It is very simple to make. Wash the dirty blood of the pig pancreas, remove the fat and grind it into a paste. Then add soybean powder, spices, etc., mix evenly, and dry naturally. It can be used as a bath bean for washing.

Who invented it is not recorded in history, but there are records in "Qian Jin Yao Fang" and "Qian Jin Yi Fang" written by Sun Simiao in Tang Dynasty.

It is no worse than the soaps of later generations, but it is very expensive.Think about the raw materials of this thing, how big is the pancreas of a fat pig?Therefore, this kind of "bath beans" can only be used by wealthy people.

Chen Xun couldn't understand its decontamination principle at all. It might be due to the fat-soluble principle, or it might be some enzyme contained in the pancreas or soy flour.Chen Xun has not spent too much energy and financial resources on this, because he can still take a bath without soap, but at most it will not be very clean and it will not kill anyone.

"Lang Jun, do you want to see your wife now?" Chen Qin reminded.

"Where is Madam now?" Chen Xun asked.

"In the dining room, I saw her carrying a food box. She should have brought you something delicious." Chen Qin replied.

"Let's go."

The two soon arrived at the dining room of the small courtyard, where Chen Xun's mother Qin Fang was sitting at the dining table drinking morning tea.

"Mom, why are you here today?" Chen Xun walked over and sat down, reaching for the food box on the dining table.

"Look how greedy you are. You are my son. I miss you so much, why don't you come over and see me?" The mother looked at Chen Xun with a smile. She was very satisfied with her eldest son, not just because of his excellence. , and because he prevented Chen Yi from continuing to take concubines, making his position in the Chen family rock-solid.

"I'm just hungry." This is the truth. After all, "Horse Elegance" is still continuing to transform Chen Xun's body. His appetite is slightly lower than before, but it is still much larger than ordinary people.

"Eat quickly, I made this specially for you."

There are some snacks in the food box, which are very sweet and suit the taste of southerners.In his previous life, Chen Xun was a northerner with a salty taste. In this life, it was only in the last few years that he could eat sweets regularly, so he has not changed yet.After eating a few snacks, I quickly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea to relieve my tiredness.

"good to eat!"

"As long as it's delicious, your dad likes the snacks I make." Qin Fang didn't have to worry about making a living in these years, so she found a hobby of making snacks for herself. She had a sugar factory at home and the materials were convenient. After a lot of practice, , the craftsmanship is really good.

After the two chatted for a while, the cook brought over a large bowl of beef noodles.

There is more beef than noodles in the bowl. The beef marinated in various spices is very tasty. The noodle soup with pepper noodles has a spicy taste, which makes up for the spiciness without pepper. It tastes very unique and very filling.

After a large bowl of beef noodles, bigger than his head, went into his stomach, Chen Xun's whole body immediately warmed up. The pepper wicked away sweat and moisture. After drinking the noodle soup, he felt that the humid air around him was no longer so stuffy.

"No wonder you don't go home for dinner. No woman can stand your taste in the future." Qin Fang covered her nose with a handkerchief, as if she could block the spicy smell emanating from the pepper. She glanced at Chen Xun as she spoke. Chen Qin behind him.

"The reason why I don't like going home to eat is not because my taste is different from yours." Chen Xun could only think about this in his heart. Saying it would only make his mother sad, but there was no big conflict and it wasn't worth it, so he said it with his mouth. It was: "It's too busy. The south courtyard is too far from the east courtyard. It's almost ten miles to go back and forth just to have a meal. There are many things that can be done in the time spent on the road."

For a man's ambition, a traditional woman like Qin Fang could only silently support him. Neither Chen Yi nor Chen Xun would say anything in this regard.

"Mother, is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I will go to the private port today."

"So many things have happened in our Chenjiazhuang recently. I don't know what will happen in the future." Qin Fang talked about the reason for coming here: "A few days ago, the king of Xinhui County sent someone over to deliver a message to his daughter. Just forget about the matchmaking."

Is the object that I can't reach so far gone?Although he didn't really care about it, but this time it was the woman who proposed it, which still made Chen Xun feel very uncomfortable.

All these years, it's because I don't want to, which round to talk to the woman.

"Oh, I know."

"Not only Wang Yuanwai, but in front of him, several families who had contacted before sent people to spread the word that they don't want to have anything to do with our Chen family."

Is this smelly?

"It's okay, mother, don't be angry, I don't care." Chen Xun comforted.

"Is this something you care about or not?" Qin Fang was annoyed by Chen Xun's comforting words, and her angry son couldn't grasp the point: "Because of what you are doing now, those gentry officials are eager to get rid of you Relationship, what will you do with your marriage in the future?"

As he spoke, he became a little anxious and burst into tears.

Throughout her life, Qin Fang was very dedicated as Chen Xun's mother. Chen Xun could not find any fault with her mother. Her love for him was selfless and meticulous.

When his mother shed tears, Chen Xun didn't dare to continue messing around.

"Mom, you really don't need to be angry. My son, you don't know yet, and you're still worried that I won't be able to marry." Chen Xun walked over and put his arms around his mother's shoulders, comforting him in a gentle voice: "Believe it or not, I will yell when I go out now. Women who want to marry me can line up from the south gate of the east courtyard to the north gate."
