Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Xiao Yunxi rewarded Xiaobao with a piece of malt candy, and he immediately and happily went to Goudan to share it. You take a bite, I take a bite, and we are good friends.

Xiaobao ran out, and Murong Chen came back, his face flushed and his expression extremely excited:

"Is it true what you told Xiaobao that tofu and goat's milk can cure lameness?"

Lameness is a very common bone disease. Many children have lameness since childhood. Some of them will improve as they grow up, while others will become more serious.

The court summoned famous doctors to treat it. It was said to be an incurable terminal illness, but Xiao Yunxi said it could be cured. How could Murong Chen not be excited?

Xiao Yunxi explained,

"Limping may not seem like a disease, but it's actually not. Children limp because of calcium deficiency, which is malnutrition. Goat's milk and cow's milk can supplement calcium and treat lameness. Tofu can also supplement calcium, but the effect is not as good as goat's milk."

Murong Chen felt like he was dreaming. A terminal illness like lameness was actually caused by malnutrition? This knowledge point was beyond his comprehension.

"Have you ever seen the children of the Northern Barbarians?"

"I've seen it."

"The children of the Northern Barbarians don't have limping problems because they drink cow's milk, goat's milk, and horse's milk for a long time. The grassland people are strong because of the same effect of milk. Tofu can cure limping because it supplements calcium."

“What does calcium supplementation mean?”

"The human body needs many trace elements. For example, salt replenishes energy, and calcium is related to bone development. When marching and fighting, you should bring tea and pickles to prevent mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers are caused by a lack of vitamin B. Vegetables are rich in vitamins, and tea and pickles have the same function. Night blindness is caused by a lack of vitamin A. Animal livers, such as pig liver, chicken liver, and duck liver, can treat night blindness..."

Murong Chen's eyes suddenly widened:

"What did you say!!"

The fact that night blindness could be cured by eating animal offal shocked him even more than the fact that goat milk and tofu could cure lameness.

In the era of cold weapons, night raids were always heard and they were very effective because most soldiers had night blindness.

When the enemy attacks at night, everything is pitch black and people will be terrified. The fear will spread and chaos will eventually occur. The more people there are, the more chaos there will be.

This is the principle behind the fact that more than a hundred cavalrymen charged back and forth in an enemy camp of tens of thousands of people. If night blindness can be cured, the army's combat effectiveness can be raised to a new level.

Zheng Tianming suddenly appeared:

"Um... you're having trouble going to the bathroom. What's wrong?"

Murong Chen:!!!

"Eat more fruits and vegetables to increase intestinal motility, such as cabbage, spinach, celery, apples, sweet potatoes, and pecans, or drink some honey with water."

"real or fake?"

"Fake!"

Murong Chen was extremely excited at the moment. Goat milk was difficult to obtain and no one would eat animal offal, so he could let his cousin promote it among the border troops to see the effect first.

"If animal liver can really cure night blindness, I will commend you to His Majesty. Also, can you sell your tofu to the court at a lower price?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head:

"Tofu can't be stored for very long, and secondly, the amount I make isn't enough to feed so many people."

Murong Chen blurted out:

"Can you sell the formula to the imperial court? Don't worry, I will definitely help you get a generous reward, at least a third-rank imperial decree."

He had just bought out the tofu supply, and now that the imperial court had stepped in, wouldn't he just be able to play in the mud?

Zheng Tianming was filled with mixed emotions, but he couldn't offer a more tempting condition. If it were him, he would have happily agreed to the third-rank imperial edict.

Is Xiao Yunxi an ordinary person?

no!

So she refused:

"Master Murong, the method for treating night blindness and the goat milk treatment for lameness can be given to you free of charge. Please do not take credit for me, let alone mention my name. As for tofu, if you want to promote it in the Great Zhou, you will personally pay 30 taels to buy out the recipe. Otherwise, please keep it secret."

"Why? Are you..."

Zhou Shiya grabbed Murong Chen, stopping him from saying anything, and promised not to report it to the court unless he paid 30 taels to buy out the formula.

On the carriage,

Murong Chen was puzzled.

"Why does she insist on me paying privately?"

Zhou Shiya reminded:

"Not everyone's character is as noble as your husband's."

"That is."

Are you sure I'm praising you?

Murong Chen was very smart. He didn't think too much about it just now, but when his wife reminded him, he immediately realized the interests involved.

In the final analysis, Xiao Yunxi did not trust the imperial court.

The recipe was reported to the emperor, but the emperor's attitude was unknown. Those ministers would probably have evil thoughts. The value of the tofu recipe was enough to make them show their shameless faces.

Xiao Yunxi is just an ordinary citizen, and she can't stand those people's trickery and robbery. In the end, her family might be destroyed.

"Husband, even our family might lose the recipe, let alone Sister Yunxi. Goat's milk has the same effect as cow's milk and horse's milk. There's no need to involve tofu. As long as it's not claimed to cure lameness, it's just an ordinary food, and Sister Yunxi won't cause any trouble."

"Listen to my wife."

In the yard, Zheng Tianming was in a complicated mood:

"She's a third-rank imperial consort. She can meet officials without losing, and maybe even be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold. Aren't you tempted?"

“Very exciting.”

"You're still refusing?"

“I’m afraid I won’t live long enough to spend it.”

The value of tofu is too high now. If it attracts the attention of the court, it will inevitably be targeted by countless corrupt officials, and then the family will have no peace.

Besides,

The emperor's reward is the most useless.

It sounds nice to say "a million taels of gold" and it shows that you are generous, but in fact, it is mixed with yellow metals such as tin and copper and is not worth much at all.

Some emperors were even more extreme, directly saying that they would give 10,000 taels, but the amount they gave was less than 100 taels.

The bandits don’t know!

The public security in Daxia is not very good. Even officials dare to rob. The whole world knows that she has millions of gold, so she is robbed every day, right?

I dare not sleep without the close protection of the Jinyiwei.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Brother Haozi and I hit it off right away, and I'm planning to stay at his house."

Xiao Yunxi gave Tang Hao a murderous look, and Tang Hao, who was lying on the courtyard wall, immediately retracted his head.

"My family's food prices have officially increased to 100 taels per person."

"Talking about money hurts feelings."

"Relationships cost money, but if you can do me a favor, I can consider providing you with free meals during the days you stay in the village."

Two days have passed since the agreed surgery date, and Dr. Lu has not returned yet. Hu Zi's mother's condition is worsening and she may die at any time.

The operation required anesthesia, anti-inflammation, and debridement. Without Dr. Lu's assistance, she would not be able to complete it herself.

She also didn't have the instruments needed for surgery.

She wanted to ask Zheng Tianming to help her find out about Dr. Lu and prepare the necessary things for the surgery.

If Dr. Lu doesn't come back tomorrow, she will have to perform the operation alone, otherwise the internal organs will become ulcerated and even God will not be able to save her.

It would be best to find a doctor who can perform anesthesia to assist, or just get some anesthetic powder. In short, she cannot put all her hopes on Dr. Lu.
