Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 89: Happy to Get a Strange Plant (5)
"This is... pagoda honey, sweet-scented osmanthus honey, longan honey, wattle honey, acacia honey, jujube honey, linden honey, lychee honey, locust honey, milk vetch honey, mountain flower honey, eucalyptus honey, wild chrysanthemum honey, motherwort honey, Lycium barbarum honey... there are dozens of honey flavors in a small bead, and the fusion of various flavors forms a unique sweetness... It's so delicious!"

While talking, Lu Jinyao took off the small beads and handed them to the twin elves.

The twin elves like to eat sweets, and there is such a delicious honey juice in this little bead that they can't stop eating.

Lu Jinyao looked at the petals again.

The petals are soft and bouncy, exuding a fragrance different from honey.

Lu Jinyao tore off a small piece of petal and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, with a surprised expression on his face.

"This glutinous rice cake is soft, a bit sticky but very elastic... glutinous rice cake?"

She seemed to think of something, asked the twin elves to fetch a small plate, took off the small beads on the petals, smashed them into a plate of honey, then tore off the petals, dipped some of the honey in the plate, and put it in her mouth .

"...Delicious! So delicious!"

Lu Jinyao could swear that she had never eaten such delicious food.The sweetness of dozens of kinds of honey, together with the fragrance of glutinous rice, mixed together has become an unparalleled delicacy. After careful tasting, there are actually hundreds of kinds of fragrance changes in it.She searched all over the dictionary, but she couldn't describe the deliciousness she felt.

The twin elves couldn't stop saying, "It's really delicious, I didn't expect there to be such delicious food!"

"I just don't know the name of this thing... and the golden tree trunk, I wonder if it can be eaten?"

Lu Jinyao smiled and said, "This should not be eaten, because I feel that the hardness of these tree trunks is close to steel, and your teeth will fall out."

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Su Xin, Yan Yi, help me dig out this tree."

The twin spirits stuffed their mouths with glutinous rice petals, and performed spiritual magic to uproot a golden plant and lay it flat on the ground.

Lu Jinyao studied the golden plant carefully, and took out the knife he carried with him to try to cut it open. Unexpectedly, the golden plant was hard to the touch, but it was easily cut open by the knife.

Only then did she see that the inside was hollow.

"The hollow ones can just be used as gas pipelines, but I don't know if they can be insulated from heat and whether they are strong. However, they can be easily cut by a knife, so they are probably not very strong..."

As soon as I mentioned this, the twin elves laughed: "Sister, you just attached the aura to the knife, so you can easily cut it open. If there is no aura attached, even if you use a saw, you can't cut it."

"Really?" Lu Jinyao looked delighted.

Yan Yi smiled and said, "Sister, you can gather the spiritual energy in your eyes to see."

"Let me take a look." Lu Jinyao gathered the spiritual energy in his eyes and took a closer look. As Yan Yi said, this thing is as hard as steel. At the same time, because it is a plant, it has good air permeability.For some reason, it insulates much better than steel, making it a good material for heating pipes.

"Sister, what's the name of this plant?" the twin elves asked.

Lu Jinyao frowned and thought for a while, and finally said with a smile, "Let's call it Baixiang!"

"Woof, woof!" Nuomi's voice came from outside the space, and Lu Jinyao hurriedly got up and left the space.Before leaving, she asked the twin elves to bring down a few more passion trees, and when she came back, she made them into pipes to heat the house.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a way to collectively provide heating. Otherwise, if she spreads it out and monopolizes the heating by herself, then she will make a lot of money.

However, Lu Jinyao is also very busy today, so although he has good materials, he can only study them at night.

I want to ask her what she is busy with... Today, the whole Lu family is going to the county to do New Year's goods, can you not be busy?
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the common people have to start preparing various new year goods.

For thousands of years, the New Year has always been a big event for the common people.In order to have a good year, before the new year, we need to make a lot of preparations and buy a lot of things, including food, things to wear, things to wear, things to play with, things to offer, dry things, fresh things, raw things, cooked things, etc. The name is "New Year's goods".

"Chunming Fengzhi" says: "Glass, iron wire, oil paint, turning sand, touching silk, walking horses, kites, furs, harmonica, playing cards, round chess, promotion pictures, Jiangmi people, Taiping drums, gourds, glazed trumpets, etc. They are all things that children play with, and comprador everything is called a busy year."

Not to mention ordinary people, even the imperial palace will buy some fireworks every New Year.And this is also the favorite place for children. Every Chinese New Year, they have to pester their parents to buy more, and they want to turn around to make a splash among their friends and get the envy of all their friends.

There are many kinds of folk firecrackers: Baixiang, Marlezi, Ertijiao, Qihua, Taipinghua and so on.

There are not many entertainments for adults, but there are also toys such as dice and horse tags.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, the downtowns are crowded, and there are people buying new year's goods everywhere.But at the same time, the prices of various things have also risen a lot, and businessmen take the opportunity to make a good deal, so there is a saying that "the land and water are three points more expensive in the twelfth lunar month".

In ancient times, there were annual collections specially established for the purpose of buying new year's goods.

The annual collection is the largest and most participated in the year, usually on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.The types of New Year’s goods include scented wax, paper codes, firecrackers, New Year pictures, red paper, white sugar, smoked tea, candy, condiments, etc. Basically, everything needed for the New Year is complete.

Usually, the order of buying New Year’s goods is to buy some things that can be stored for a long time before the 25th year of the twelfth lunar month, make new clothes, and purchase the rest, such as New Year pictures and firecrackers, on the New Year’s Collection.

The main purpose of the Lu family today is to prepare some new clothes, buy some dry goods and so on.

In the past, the new clothes of the Lu family were all made by novice Lian Susu.Yun's is not blind, but she is not as good at female celebrity than Lu Jinyao, so the old lady only helps to pick cotton and choose patterns.

Of course, Lu Jinyao also likes the clothes made by her mother herself, but she needs to prepare new clothes for the whole family, and she needs to start preparing early.Lu Jinyao was worried that his mother would wear out her eyes, so she didn't let her prepare.

On this point, the whole Lu family thought the same as her.

Especially now that Lu Jinyao has earned a large sum of money for the family, has economic status, and has the confidence to speak. No one treats her like an ignorant child anymore, and they have to discuss everything with her in the family.

So Lu Jinyao confidently persuaded Lian Susu to take a good rest and have a stable and leisurely New Year.It's not enough to go to the county to buy new clothes directly. Anyway, this year is only one year, so it can't be regarded as extravagance and waste.
