Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Chapter 294: Ice Basin to Cool Down

In an instant, before Old Man Lin's mouth could even stretch to his ears, his body fell to the ground as if he had lost strength.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoyue was quick to hold him up and put him steadily in the reclining chair. She asked Old Man Lin with a little concern if he felt unwell.

Chun Xing, who was standing by, saw this and finally had a chance to show her presence, so she quickly said, "Although Father Lin has recovered, he has just recovered and the newly grown bone callus cannot fully bear the weight of the body. It will take some time for him to walk normally again. In addition to keeping up with nutrition, he can also walk around every day to adapt more, but be careful not to rush things."

Father Lin's eyes were red and he felt like crying. He had been waiting for this for a long time. He had just thought that his leg was failing again. He was so scared that he almost burst into tears. Now that Chun Xing had promised, he felt relieved. He no longer had to be a burden to his family.

Great.

"Okay, don't cry. Now that we're settled, we have hope for the future. Your foot is getting better little by little. It's a good thing. Don't cry, Damu (Lin's father's name)." Lin's father hugged Xiaomaizi, who had big round eyes, and comforted him.

Even Xiaomaizi, who was only over one year old, cried "Lao...Lao...Lao", and stretched out his skinny little hands towards Old Man Lin's face, as if to comfort him not to cry.

Old Man Lin took the wheat excitedly, his face flushed, his heart pounding, he covered his eyes with his big hands to prevent anyone from seeing his tears, and just nodded continuously.

Not long after, Lin Dahua came in with a large bowl of noodles and called Lin Xiaoyue to come over and eat.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't bother to be polite with her. She pushed away Mule's head that was trying to please her and walked straight to the table and sat down. Smelling the aroma of the food, the glutton in her stomach began to stir.

She took a sip of the soup first. It was hot, smooth and creamy, with an excellent taste. She felt so comfortable that her brows relaxed.

I have to say, her sister is really good at cooking.

It’s a simple bowl of noodles. Both others and her sister use the same ingredients, but the taste of her sister’s noodles is different.

Chun Xing's furry head came over, took a deep breath, snorted, looked at Lin Dahua pitifully and begged, "Sister Dahua, I want to eat noodles too."

"Oh, okay, I'll go get another bowl. Grandpa and Dad, do you want some too?" Although Lin Dahua felt that they had just finished lunch and probably couldn't eat more, she still asked politely.

"Need not."

"Need not"

"Do you want more, Sanya?"

Lin Xiaoyue buried her head in the bowl, her cheeks bulging with food. She rolled her eyes and silently raised a finger.

+1

"Okay, Chun Xing, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"Thank you, Sister Dahua. Sister Dahua is the best."

Lin Xiaoyue, who was buried in the bowl of noodles, looked up and took a deep look at the girl. She was such a natural idiot, and she seemed to be getting more and more heartless. Forget it, just keep an eye on her. Thinking of this, she said nothing and continued to sip her noodles.

Lin Xiaoyue was truly grateful to the grandparents and grandchildren of the Qiao family, not to mention Dr. Qiao, but just Chun Xing.

A while ago, when fleeing from famine, many people in the team fell ill due to the disease, and Doctor Qiao was so busy that he was dizzy. After Doctor Qiao entered Black Wind Ridge, it was all up to Chun Xing to treat Old Man Lin's leg injury.

Although Doctor Li accepted Xiao Si and Xiao Wu as his closed disciples, most of the time it was she who took the two little kids with her, patiently explaining various pharmacological theories to them.

Moreover, Chun Xing is a simple person. She is not pretending to be so. Instead, she is pure and innocent from the inside out.

Really, Lin Xiaoyue was sometimes worried about this little girl, wondering if she would be taken away by a big-tailed wolf one day without being careful.

Thinking about it, she inexplicably understood the pain in Dr. Qiao's heart. The cabbages in his own garden must grow well in the field. If they were taken away by someone, he would be so heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue raised her hand and touched the furry head leaning on her shoulder, and met her eyes that lit up. She... decided to continue eating noodles.

"After we get the stuff back from the blacksmith shop in a couple of days, we'll go into the mountains for a walk. You can also go pick some herbs."

After hearing this, Chun Xing nodded frantically, almost making her head fall off.

Grandpa and Old Man Lin on the side couldn't help but laugh when watching the interaction between the two.

Lin Xiaoyue was just thinking about making ice basins and putting them in the house to cool down when she heard a commotion outside the manor.

Grandpa reacted quickly. He stood up first, raised his hand to lightly press Chun Xing who was doing the same thing, asked her to sit down, and then walked out to check the situation.

I don’t know who will come at this time.

They had just moved in, and none of their familiar neighbors came to visit.

Seeing that her grandfather had gone out, Lin Xiaoyue simply sipped her noodles while talking to Chunxing about making the ice basin.

It just so happened that they went to the town yesterday and bought a lot of saltpeter, which was used to cool the distilled liquor, so they bought quite a lot.

It is strange that people in this dynasty only regarded saltpeter as a medicine for attacking and removing accumulation, promoting diuresis and purging excess, and detoxifying and reducing swelling. When combined with rhubarb and phellodendron, it has an effect on improving urinary problems, jaundice and diarrhea, but no one thought of using saltpeter to make ice.

So when they went to the pharmacy to buy large quantities of saltpeter, the doctor looked at them with something strange in his eyes.

She couldn't think of it for a while, and only thought of using saltpeter to make ice to cool down when distilling liquor.

Now, I finally settled down and pulled my head out from the crack of the door, and my thoughts slowly began to broaden.

Thinking about how hot it is, if we could put a few ice basins in the house to lower the temperature a bit, it would make life easier for everyone.

It’s over there over there in the cattle shed. It would be best if a few basins could be moved over there so that the cattle don’t have to suffer the pain of taking a sauna.

She had been thinking about telling her grandfather about this and then organizing everyone to do it together, but her grandfather happened to be out, so she decided to talk to Chun Xing first.

Anyway, this girl had seen her use saltpeter to make ice to cool down the distilled liquor, and she had learned how to do it. She would make one for her after she finished eating the noodles and put it in the living room for everyone to experience first.

With the physical demonstration, others can feel the benefits of the ice basin more intuitively and will naturally not slack off.

And now that we have ice trays, can popsicles be far behind? Oh, just imagine how delicious it would be to have a popsicle on such a hot day.

As soon as Chun Xing heard the words, she was about to stand up.

Lin Xiaoyue grabbed her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Ice making."

"You have to finish your noodles first."

"Oh, all right."

This girl is so sincere. She does whatever she is told immediately.

Lin Xiaoyue was worried: Oh, I still have to take good care of this girl in the future and make her more careful, otherwise she will be easily deceived.

After Lin Xiaoyue finished her first bowl of noodles, Lin Dahua came back with a tray and her grandfather who had gone to the gate to check the situation.
