Chapter 207: Medicine Ink


As for the small matter just now, the two of them didn't take it seriously after solving it.

Su Li secretly calculated that she didn't waste much time just now, and she could go back just in time to eat according to the speed of her parents.

If the third brother was not in a hurry to leave in the afternoon, he could just drink two glasses of health-preserving wine with his father at noon.

She would go back later and ask for a bottle of aged wine.

Among the batches of medicinal wine she prepared, the health-preserving medicinal wine based on the high-quality Maotai sent by her third brother had the best taste.

The quantity of that batch of Maotai was limited, and she only had a few in her hands.

I reserved the bottle for my father to satisfy his craving.

At noon, the Su family couple prepared an unusually sumptuous meal.

This was the welcoming banquet for Yan Zhenlai.

Yesterday's impromptu dinner, in the eyes of the Su family couple, felt quite sorry for their children coming all the way.

After taking a short break after eating, the Su family began to make arrangements for the afternoon.

Lin Juan went to the kitchen to knead the dough and prepare to ferment it before steaming the steamed buns tomorrow.

Her cooking skills have always been very good.

The steamed buns she made were more fragrant, softer and chewy than those sold outside.

They have always been favored by the Su family's father and daughter. unanimously praised.

Therefore, the Su family has never been in the habit of selling steamed buns.

Twenty-eight handfuls of noodles and twenty-nine steamed buns are also an old habit of the Su family.

Su Zhiyuan's plan was to use the afternoon to write couplets.

Steaming steamed buns during the New Year is a big project, because you have to steam buns that can be eaten for about half a month at a time.

According to the rules in my hometown, steamed buns cannot be steamed immediately after the Chinese New Year.

You cannot continue steaming steamed buns until the New Year has passed around the Lantern Festival.

Return to normal eating habits.

Although the pace of life is fast now and people's living standards have improved, they all like to eat fresh and don't need to prepare so many steamed buns.

However, the Su family are all people with traditional personalities.

No matter what, they still have to steam several pots of steamed buns, at least until after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Lin Juan's custom of steaming steamed buns is to knead the dough into round steamed bun molds by hand.

In this way, if there are too many steamed buns to be steamed at one time, the workload will naturally be greater.

Therefore, every year on New Year's Eve, Su Zhiyuan always feels sorry for his wife and personally helps knead the dough and make the steamed bun molds.

Su Zhiyuan may not be able to do the other steps of steaming the steamed buns well, but when it comes to kneading the steamed buns, he is very good at it.

The man's hands are strong, and the steamed buns kneaded by him have a softer and chewier texture.

The Su family steamed steamed buns on weekdays, and Su Zhiyuan would personally help out whenever he had time.

This is how he learned this unique skill.

His skills can be said to be the best in the Su family, even Lin Juan, who is the best cook, cannot compare.

Therefore, since then, Su Zhiyuan has traditionally arranged for the couplets to be posted on the door in the early morning of New Year's Eve to be written on New Year's Eve.

When I was in my hometown, at this time of year, there were still many villagers who loved tradition or were in a tight family situation and came to ask Su Zhiyuan to help write some Spring Festival couplets with red paper.

Su Zhiyuan's accumulation of Spring Festival couplets was honed in this way year after year.

He can write at least hundreds of different Spring Festival couplets This is also the reason why Su Zhiyuan is not the only one in the village who can write calligraphy, but most people like to ask him to write Spring Festival couplets.

They seldom worry about excessive repetition of the Spring Festival couplets written by Su Zhiyuan.

It's the same as making people laugh, which is another unique skill of Su Zhiyuan.

Dad likes it.

There will be many more years in the future where he can write Spring Festival couplets for his family.

He will never hurt his hand like in the previous life and will never be able to pick up a brush and write freely.

Thinking of this, Su Li couldn't help but sigh softly.

He smiled warmly and nostalgically, and his eyes were mixed with some complexity and an inexplicable and distant look of relief.

Yan Jing couldn't help but stop his hand that was studying ink, and looked at Su Li with a slightly frown: "Ah Li" "It's okay, Third Brother.

I just remembered that during those years when we were still in our hometown village, our family was always the busiest at this time.

Many uncles, aunts and grandparents in the village would come with cut red paper to invite guests.

This year we decided to write Spring Festival couplets.

I am celebrating the New Year in Jincheng and will not go back to my hometown.

My father has lost a lot of work and a lot of fun."

Shaking his head, Su Li paused and sighed with nostalgia as he could help the people in the village.

These are all things that Abba is willing to do.

"Oh, then I have to appreciate uncle's special skills."

Although it can be seen that Su Li may have some deeper hidden contents that are not as simple as what she is saying now, but Rigorous did not go into details and followed Su Li's words.

Change the subject.

He did not think that Ah Li was not honest enough, but lamented that he still did not do enough to reach the deepest part of Ah Li's heart and become her omnipotent support.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

This is a situation that he clearly understands now.

"What's your special skill?"

Su Zhiyuan, who entered the study room after cleaning his hands outside, continued with a smile and asked curiously about the prelude that he had not heard before.

"Hey, Ah Jin, you've also practiced big calligraphy, right?

This ink is really well ground.

It's not thick or light, just right."

"Ah Li said that writing Spring Festival couplets is my uncle's special skill.

I have to appreciate it."

He replied rigorously and modestly: "When I was young, I practiced two strokes of calligraphy with my grandfather, and I polished ink for my grandfather.

The ink sticks bought by my uncle are good.

I smell them.

This ink smells like medicinal ink, it's so beautiful.

Where did my uncle buy it?"

He would like to buy some when he has time later.

According to his grandfather's life evaluation, Confucianism is a classic throughout his life.

He likes to practice calligraphy and also likes pen and ink.

This habit also affects him who was raised by his grandfather since childhood.

The use of medicines in ink probably began during the Three Kingdoms period in China's 5,000-year history.

At that time, Wei Dan, an expert in ink making, "pulled pearls and musk into fine powder, combined with tobacco in an iron mortar, and pounded it with a pestle."

This was the first time that precious medicines were used in ink. .

By the Southern Tang Dynasty, the ink-making technology had developed greatly, and medicinal ink also emerged.

Garcinia, borneol, rhinoceros horn, croton and other precious traditional Chinese medicines were added to the ink to make the ink "fragrant and fragrant" and "as strong as defense".

At that time, officials and literati were competing for it.

It reached its peak during the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and became widely popular among the people.

Even if the Shangjia soldiers at that time were not literate in writing, they often had ink sticks around them when they went out for emergency use.

And medicinal ink has indeed cured many people's diseases.

As one of the four treasures of the study, medicinal ink is not susceptible to insect damage and is easy to store.

As a medicine, it can treat a wide range of diseases.

It can reduce inflammation and detoxify, stop bleeding and relieve pain, harmonize blood and reduce blood pressure, calm convulsions and relieve spasms.

It is favored by patients and people who read and practice calligraphy.

This piece of ink has a faint purple luster on its surface.

It is smooth and silky, with even luster.

There is no trace of cracking, deformation or incompleteness.

It is made of ice and jade bones, with exquisite patterns imprinted on it.

He can smell it as soon as he takes it in his hand.

There is a faint fragrance of ink, the fragrance is pure, and there is no smell that can be called smelly like ordinary ink sticks. sjgsf0916:
