Dressed as a peasant mother-in-law, I support my family by opening a shop

Chapter 59

When Zhao Xiaohua was picking up vegetables for Su Lanxi, she noticed that Zhao Xiaohua's hands were very rough, like the hands of a grandmother in her 30s.

Su Lanxi wanted to find some aloe vera and make aloe vera gel.

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he said, "Xiaohua, do you know where aloe vera is sold?"

Zhao Xiaohua put down her chopsticks and said, "There is a shop that sells flowers.

I just don’t know if the aloe you mentioned is available. "

Su Lanxi said in surprise: "Then do you know where this shop is?"

"Just turn left and go straight for ten miles when you go out."

"That's great. You and Dahai are busy here. Doctor Zhou and I will go back after we do some shopping."

Zhao Xiaohua nodded to show that she knew.

Before going out, Su Lanxi called everyone into the lobby to talk about the matter.

"Starting tomorrow, this shop will be handed over to some of you to take care of it.

But I will come here from time to time. If you let me know that you are lazy, I will sell you all.

Do you understand? "

Sijiu and Erming said in unison, "Got it."

"Xiaohua and Dahai won't be using the shop tomorrow.

Our family has something to do these days. "

Zhao Xiaohua told Ning Dahai about building a house, and the couple said: "Well, we know."

After finishing speaking, Su Lanxi dragged Dr. Zhou out of the kitchen and took him to a flower shop.

After walking for ten miles, I finally arrived. This ancient flower shop is not as gorgeous as the modern one, and there are many flowers in it.

This shop is called Huacaofang.

Inside was a guy in his 20s looking at the store.

Seeing the two of Su Lanxi coming, they welcomed them immediately.

"What kind of flowers do you two want to buy? I have all kinds of flowers here."

"I want aloe vera, do you have it here?

How did you sell it? "

"Yes, of course. The aloe vera here costs seven cents a catty. I don't know how much you want, guest officer!"

"Just ten catties first."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."

After a while, the boy came out with a pack of aloe vera in his hand, and Su Lanxi checked it.

Hmm~, freshly cut.

"A total of seventy essays."

Su Lanxi counted out seventy wen, and after giving it to him, she asked, "Boss, what else do you have for flowers here?"

"The flowers I have here are roses, roses, orchids, lilies... that's all."

When Su Lanxi heard these flowers, she thought about them, and then said "thank you" to the boss and left.

Dr. Zhou saw that Su Lanxi was spending money on flowers that could not be eaten. Although they could be used as medicine, he still asked.

"Su Wa, why are you buying these inedible things?"

Su Lanxi looked at the unhappy Doctor Zhou and said: "Whoever said aloe vera can't be eaten, it still tastes good.

And aloe vera can do good things. "

When Dr. Zhou heard that there was something to cook, he said in a hurry, "What can I cook with this?"

"I'll do it for you later."

Dr. Zhou jumped happily and said, "Okay, then let's go back quickly."

It was mid-afternoon when the two returned home.

As soon as we entered the gate of the village, it was crowded with old women.

Su Lanxi also squeezed in to see what was there. Dr. Zhou was holding what he thought was a delicacy in his hand, afraid of spoiling the delicacy, so he didn't go in.

Today is the day when the salesman enters the village. Everyone buys things here so as not to go to the town.

Suddenly someone said: "Seller, what are you, why is it so sour, is it edible for humans?"

The woman held a yellow-orange oval lemon in her hand. Su Lanxi looked at it, and it looked more and more like a lemon.

Just went over and took a sip.

When people saw it, they persuaded them: "Aunt Su, don't eat it, this food is very sour."

The salesman was also very embarrassed. He was tricked by others, saying that this was the fruit of the Western Regions, but no one was willing to buy it, and it was going to be thrown into his hands.

Suddenly he heard a voice like the sound of heaven: "It's okay, I want to buy all these fruits, how much do they cost?"

God, his fruit has finally sold.

"These fruits are fifty catties in total. If you want them, I'll sell them to you for five cents per catty."

"Okay, I want it all, help me take it home."

When people around heard that Su Lanxi wanted to buy back all the sour fruits, they all persuaded him.

"Sister Su, why spend so much money on things you can't eat!"

"Yes, isn't this a prodigal?"

"That's right, Aunt Su can buy some snacks for the children with the money."

……

Although Su Lanxi moved the villagers to persuade her not to waste money, she had her own plan.

"I know this fruit is very sour, but I have other uses, so don't persuade me."

Everyone heard that Su Lanxi had her own plans, so they didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, someone noticed Dr. Zhou who came back with Su Lanxi.

"Hey, why did Doctor Zhou come back with Aunt Su? Could it be that something happened to Aunt Su's family?"

When the people around heard what the little daughter-in-law said, they looked at Su Lanxi.

Su Lanxi didn't blush, and explained without beating her heart: "Doctor Zhou is my mother's cousin, and my cousin even hugged me when I was young.

When I went to the street before, if my uncle and grandfather hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have known.

Uncle and grandfather went out in the early years, and mother didn't know his whereabouts, so she ran into him in the town.

I took my uncle and grandfather home and lived there. "

After hearing Su Lanxi's explanation, everyone understood what was going on.

Doctor Zhou was surprised in his heart, how could this man lie without blushing and heart beating.

After the salesman brought all the lemons into the house, Su Lanxi went to deal with the aloe.

Making aloe vera gel, she saw that the hands of her daughter and daughter-in-law were wrinkled, like old dry bark.

When making aloe vera gel, choose aloe vera with thick and plump leaves.Cut the aloe vera and soak it in water to remove the emodin.Do not directly touch the cut aloe vera mucus to avoid discomfort.

Put the diced aloe vera into a mesh wrapped in gauze and use your hands or heavy objects to squeeze out the aloe vera juice, and then filter the aloe vera juice a second time.

A special gel forming agent is added to make the aloe vera juice solidify into a transparent gel, and some vitamin E can be properly mixed in to achieve a better moisturizing skin care effect.

The Sulanxi we use for our own use has added vitamin E bought from the market.

Waiting for the effect now.

I bought a bunch of lemons today, let's make a cup of aloe lemon tea.

First, choose edible aloe vera, remove the thorns next to it, and then remove all the green skin.

Then cut into cubes (because the taste of aloe is relatively strong, so it is better to cut into small pieces), wash it, and then put an appropriate amount of water and rock sugar in the pot, then put the aloe in, first boil on high heat and deodorize on low heat , about 20 minutes.

When cooking, cut the lemon into a bowl, then put the boiled aloe vera and water into it, and it becomes aloe vera lemon tea.

Dr. Zhou had noticed that Su Lanxi was messing around in the kitchen for a while, but now that the sound was gone, he went in properly.

"Su Wa, what are you doing? Do you want me to help you!"
