Chapter 497 The Courtyard Hits the Head
After Han Li returned, he first explained to his master what had happened just now, and that you had to go out to work during the day and come back at night recently, so the Yun sisters would take care of him during the day.
However, facing his disciple's wife who had not yet married, the master immediately said that he could do it alone at home, but this matter could not be as he wished.
The next day, Han Li got up early to empty the master's chamber pot, divided and boiled the medicine for today.
After the Yun sisters came, Han Li explained some matters to each other, and used crows to convey information in special and emergency situations.
When Han Li opened the courtyard west of Houhai again and went in, he saw that a lot of firewood and charcoal were piled up in the east wing again.
The west wing had been replenished with various necessary medicinal materials, and in addition, the incense and materials for adding fragrance this time were placed separately next to it.
Many of the incense here were things Han Li had never seen before, but this time he just had the opportunity to get to know them well. After flipping through them, Han Li took a breath of cool air. Because the incense placed here far exceeded the list he wrote yesterday.
Otherwise, why is it said that it is easy to practice in the Six Gates? The things here are simply too complete for Han Li's current incense making skills.
There are many aromatic herbs from all over the world, such as jasmine, peach blossom, rose, lily, lotus, clove, yellow gardenia, dogwood, mint, osmanthus, plum core and tulip.
Agarwood, musk, ambergris, camphor, amber, white hyacinth, perilla, rosin, and dendrobium are simply everything.
Han Li suppressed his restless mood and turned to the main room of the north house.
In addition to the original stove, medicine pot, table and chairs, bed, kettle, teacup, and small bookshelf, there is also a string of three paper bags of tea leaves.
Han Li opened it and knew that this top-grade jasmine tea was a world of difference from the high-quality tea he used to drink.
In the following days, Han Li entered a nine-to-five work state, but he didn't have time to go fishing by the lake this time.
All my free time was spent on researching what kind of incense beads to make for my family. Different incense beads require different medicinal materials and aromatic drugs.
If it is a general incense bead, there are not too many requirements, as long as it is fragrant, calming and comfortable, and at most has the effect of repelling insects and mosquitoes.
However, if you want to help your family's body and mind, there are many requirements. First of all, you must be familiar with the prescriptions and medicinal materials, and you cannot make a prescription that is harmful to the body.
Moreover, Chinese medicine emphasizes that thousands of people have thousands of diseases, and the same medicinal material will have different effects on different people.
So you have to have a good understanding of the physical condition of the person who will wear this incense bead in the future, so that you can make the most reasonable incense bead for his situation.
In other words, to make a most suitable incense bead, first of all, you must be able to taste the pulse and check the physical condition of others, and secondly, you must be able to skillfully match the medicinal materials and aromatic drugs as the monarch, minister, assistant, and messenger to achieve the best effect.
According to the prescription, you can only make very ordinary incense beads. It may smell good, but it is of no help to the wearer's body.
For example, Han's father often smokes and drives for a long time, so Han Li plans to make him a fragrant bead that can lower blood pressure, clear the lungs and strengthen the spleen, and relax muscles to hang around his neck.
Han's mother needs a fragrant bead that can relieve liver depression, lower blood pressure, and calm the mood.
As for his sisters and wives, they need fragrant beads that can harmonize qi and blood, improve blood circulation in the body, improve cold hands and feet, and insufficient qi and blood.
The medicinal materials and fragrant medicines needed for the fragrant beads also need to be calcined, roasted, stewed, fried, roasted, baked, washed, bleached, soaked, soaked, flown, steamed, boiled, and quenched according to their different effects.
So Han Li has been very busy recently and has no time to go out fishing.
In fact, it's not just that. In order to make these fragrant beads of higher quality, Han Li also went out to find nanmu and broke it down into powder to add.
The Lantern Festival came on the seventh day when Han Li started to boil these medicinal materials and make fragrant beads.
But he didn't have to worry about these. Han's mother and the Yun sisters made the food and wine together, and the Yuanxiao was bought when Han's second sister was at work. After get off work, everyone gathered at Master Li's house to eat Yuanxiao.
Of course, Han's father and master had to drink a few cups, and Han Li's opposition had no effect at all.
These days, Han's eldest sister finally brought Dai Jing'an home. This time, in addition to the gifts bought for Han's father and mother, he also brought a erhu and a guzheng for Han Li.
The family also tacitly accepted their relationship. Now they just had to wait for Dai Jing'an to invite a matchmaker to come and discuss the date for the two of them.
.
March 6, 1975, the lunar calendar year of Yimao, month of Jimao, day of Xinhai, Thursday, today is Jingzhe in the twenty-four solar terms.
The Jingzhe Festival is heard with thunder, awakening the hibernating insects.
Spring production is at its peak, and spring plowing is busy from south to north.
Fertilize and water the wheat fields, and then hoe and rake to loosen the soil.
At this time, the trees beside the lake have sprouted, and spring has arrived without anyone noticing.
This made Han Li feel a little unreal. It seemed that he had not been home for a long time this time, but it was almost time to return to Shanghe Village.
Today was the day to hand over these "new versions" of the scented "stretching pain relief cream" to Aunt Liu.
Han Li came to this courtyard early today and waited. Of course, he was more interested in what the other party gave him this time.
Han Li was drinking tea, reading a book, and waiting for Aunt Liu to come over. However, she might have something to do today and couldn't leave. It was already past eleven o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived.
"I suddenly couldn't leave. Sorry to have kept Xiao Han waiting for a long time."
Han Li made some polite remarks and pushed over several jars of stretching pain-relieving ointment that he had brewed this time. Aunt Liu stretched out her hand and applied a little and smelled it. The smile on her face suddenly became more sincere. Just as Han Li was waiting for her to take out the reward, Aunt Liu spoke again.
"Xiao Han, when are you going back to the Northeast?"
"They will start to work on spring ploughing in mid-April, so I have to rush back before then."
"Haha, I've already bothered Xiao Han twice, which has reduced your time with your family. However, based on the current usage of these stretching pain-relieving ointments, I'm afraid they won't be used even on August 15th.
So, Aunt Liu, I want to make a somewhat unreasonable request. You still have about a month before you return to the Northeast, so can I ask you to make another batch of stretching pain-relieving ointments during this time?"
Han Li was really reluctant to hear this, because during this period, Sister Han might get married. At that time, he would not only buy things for Sister Han, but also send her to Dai Jing'an's family to give her a proper show of power, to ensure that Sister Han would not be bullied when he was not in Sijiu City.
In addition, he also planned to go to his master's hometown, one to take revenge, and let the other party lie down for two or three months to vent his anger. The second was to ask questions related to the "Five Elements Yin Yang Soul Sutra".
But the other party has now compressed his time to an unacceptable level. Aunt Liu also saw Han Li's displeasure. If it were someone else, her face would have turned cold long ago.
But Han Li was a close friend of Old Liu, and she also knew that this matter had taken up most of the other person's time for this visit. If anyone was a person, he would probably not be happy, so she smiled and said.
"Xiao Han, I know you can only go home once a year, and I feel embarrassed that this matter has taken up most of your time. This is a little compensation for you, and you can use it when you get married in the future."
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she took out a land deed and a certificate from her purse, and slowly pushed it in front of Han Li.
Han Li didn't recognize what this piece of paper was at first. He had never seen such an ancient land deed in his two lives.
When he took it in his hand and looked at it, his eyes widened. He saw that the land deed clearly said from east to west and from south to north.
If this land deed is not clear, the certificate letter from the Housing Management Section of the Urban Construction Department is enough to explain everything.
Proof: No. 3, middle section of the southern bank of Houhai Lake, independent courtyard, currently owned by Han Li.
"If there is no special situation, this courtyard will always belong to you, so that you don't have to squeeze into those two rooms with your family when you get married in the city. It's close to your home, and it's very easy to take care of your parents."
Han Li listened to Aunt Liu's words, but his mind was full of thoughts. This thing is just a proof now, but it will become his own property certificate in the future!
And this is the courtyard next to Houhai, a real place to find peace in the midst of noise.
Just like that, Han Li was defeated by this courtyard where medicinal herbs were boiled, because it was too fragrant.
What's a mere half a month? Even if he had to work until the day before he returned to Shanghe Village, it would be fine.
Han Li smiled and helped to move the boiled ointment to the car, and then unloaded a batch of medicinal herbs from it. After watching Aunt Liu leave, he immediately got into work.
However, Han Li was still thinking while working, should he tell his mother about this?
After thinking about it, I decided to tell my mom, but I absolutely couldn't tell anyone about this, because there are too many people in this world who don't like you.
And if other people knew about it, my family would lose the first batch of qualifications in the upcoming housing distribution benefits.
