I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 235: Preparing Yam Tablets

· Pushing the door open, a blast of cool air rushed in, making people shiver and wake up instantly.

 In early winter, the weather is suddenly cold, there is breath in the morning, and there are frost flowers on the ground.

 The weather will not get warmer until the sun rises.

"Mom, are you up? There is hot water in the kitchen. I will bring it to you right now."

Mrs. Du was cleaning the yard. When she turned around, she saw her mother-in-law standing in a daze at the door. She said hello and turned into the kitchen. It is the most basic filial piety of a daughter-in-law to prepare washing water for her mother-in-law.

Baiyunxi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the frost on the fallen leaves, rubbed her hands because of the cold, washed her face with hot water, rinsed her mouth, swallowed a health pill with hot water, and moved her limbs in the yard. , continue to practice the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu.

Halfway through the training, I saw Mrs. Li coming in carrying two buckets of water. I don’t know how many times this person had run. There was sweat on his forehead and he was full of energy.

Bai Yunxi looked at her and couldn't help but sigh. He had to admit that being young was really good.

　　Du Shi wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Second brother and sister, please stop working. We already have enough water for one day."

"It's okay. I'll fill up the two tanks. We have to go into the mountains in the morning. In case you have water, you don't have to run out to pick it up."

"The weather is getting cold now, and the area around the well is frozen. It's very slippery. You're weak and can't even turn the windlass. Brother Yan and I can do the hard work."

There are two wells in their village, one on the east and one on the east, mainly for drinking water for the villagers.

To make it easier for women to fetch water, the wells were equipped with pulleys with handles. As long as the handle was turned, water could be fetched.

While talking, Bai Anyan also carried a load of firewood into the yard. He had gone to Xishan to chop firewood early in the morning.

The firewood stored in the backyard is not enough for one winter. He has to work harder to prepare all the firewood as soon as possible before it snows.

 When it snows heavily, a charcoal basin will have to be placed in the house to keep warm. This alone will be a huge expense.

After breakfast, Bai Anyan carried a pole, a machete and a sickle, and went into the mountain to chop firewood and cut cattail grass. The cattails prepared at home were not enough, so he had to cut some more.

Baiyunxi took Li and Du to process the yams dug yesterday.

“Making yam slices is actually very simple. First wash them, peel them, then soak them in water, and put an appropriate amount of yam slices into the water..."

Baiyunxi explained the operation to the two of them. After everything was done, they had two large basins.

"These prepared yams are soaked in alum water overnight, then taken out to wash the mucilage, then sliced ​​and baked, and they are ready. There are many ways to prepare yam. The one we made is taken from the Book of Sketchbook Fang Zi.”

 Listening to Baiyunxi's narration, Mrs. Li looked at the yam in the basin and was shocked.

“Mom, let’s get it ready and send it to the pharmacy so that the doctor can treat it as a medicine and prescribe it to the patient?”

Looking at Mr. Li’s surprised eyes, Bai Yunxi nodded.

"Yes, sometimes the preparation of Chinese herbal medicine is very simple. As long as the technique is proper and the medicinal properties of the herbal medicine can be maintained, it can cure diseases and save lives. Since ancient times, medicine and food have the same origin. Many of the foods we usually eat can be used as medicinal materials. of."

 The two of them nodded solemnly as they listened to their mother-in-law's explanation.

 “Mother, we remember.”

They can indeed learn a lot by following their mother-in-law. When they are free in the future, they can use these things to supplement their family income, which is also a craft that others can't ask for.
