Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 550 The Complete Leather Refining
Twilight Quadruple.

Smoke rises from the courtyards in Nanluoguxiang.

Every household is busy preparing dinner.

Jia Weidong squatted on the kitchen floor to help Qin Huairu peel garlic.

From time to time, I could hear the sound of Xiao Huaihua playing with her brothers in the yard.

While playing in the snow, the naughty kids got covered in mud and almost turned into mud men.

A scene suddenly appeared in Jia Weidong's mind:
Qin Huairu took a broom and taught these brats a lesson.
I couldn't help but laugh in my heart: "You bastards! You guys are having fun now, but I'm afraid you'll get beaten again when you come back later."

"The boss!"

Qin Huairu finished cutting the vegetables. Seeing that he was in a daze, she patted his shoulder and said, "I'm going to the purchasing department to hand in a task. I heard that Xu Damao was punished by Li Huaide in the factory today. Do you know why?"

Jia Weidong nodded and said, "This grandson went to the farm to check the accounts today, and all the problematic accounts on the farm are related to Li Huaide. How can Li Huaide not punish him?"

Qin Huairu asked in confusion: "Why didn't Li Huaide resign from his position as deputy director? Xu Damao even rolled his eyes at me at the factory gate. Do you think this grandson is up to no good?"

Jia Weidong handed her the peeled garlic and sneered, "Why are you afraid of him? Grasshoppers can't jump for a few days after autumn. Li Huaide kept him as a shield and waited for the day."

Before he finished speaking, a strong voice came from the door: "Mom! I'm back."

The two also ended the topic about Xu Damao.

Bang Geng saw Jia Weidong was there too, and hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle is back!"

Qin Huairu instructed Banggeng while muttering, "Banggeng! Go find your brothers and sisters. These bastards only know how to play around. They didn't even come back for dinner."

After a while, Banggeng found the naughty kids.

When Qin Huairu saw that they looked like they had crawled out of the mud, she immediately looked for a broom.

"Look at you all, you just changed into cotton-padded jackets today."

Soon there was chaos in the room.

When Qin Huairu disciplined the naughty kids, she didn't care whether they were boys or girls, or whether they were born from her belly or not. She would just beat them if she caught them.

She chased them around the room with a broom in her hand, and the naughty monkeys were screaming and squeaking around the eight-immortals table.

The third brother, Jia Junwei, hid behind Bang Geng after being hit twice.

The eighth brother, Qin Jun, had short legs and tripped over the threshold when he was running away.

Little Huaihua was quite naughty. As soon as she entered the house, she crawled into Jia Weidong's arms, so she was hit less often by the broom.

"Dad! Help!" He Junqi, the ninth child, hugged Jia Weidong's legs, and his snot and tears were all on his trouser legs.

This made Jia Weidong laugh and cry.

He lifted Lao Jiu up with one hand and held him under his armpit, and with the other hand protected the giggling Xiao Huaihua in his arms: "Sister-in-law! Calm down."

Qin Huairu held onto the edge of the table and panted, "Boss! Look at this cotton-padded jacket, ah!"

At this time, a burning smell came from the kitchen.

Bang Geng yelled, "Mom! What's burning in your pot? It's almost burnt!"

"Oops! I cooked the spareribs."

Qin Huairu exclaimed, dropped the broom and went to the kitchen.

The naughty kids finally passed this test and ran to the bathroom to wash their hands happily.

After He Yushui and Qin Jingru arrived home, the family sat together happily to have dinner.

Although life is dull and leisurely.

But Jia Weidong never relaxed his practice of Dragon and Tiger Stance for even a single day.

Do standing meditation once a day and take a medicinal bath once a day.

A month later.

Jia Weidong sat cross-legged on the kang, feeling the blood rushing beneath his skin.

His skin refining realm broke through again and officially reached perfection.

When one reaches this realm, the skin on his body becomes as tough as rock and is difficult to be hurt by ordinary punches and kicks. His strength has also increased a lot.

It is said that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Jia Weidong feels this deeply now.

Practicing martial arts is all about resources.

It only took Jia Weidong a few months from the beginning of practicing the Dragon-Tiger Stance to the current level of skin refining.

It can be said that the progress is rapid.

But all this is inseparable from the help of the body-quenching powder. For this medicinal bath once a day, the medicinal materials used in the body-quenching powder are not a small number.

It's really not something that ordinary people can afford.

This is because Jia Weidong has the space and cultivates most of the medicinal herbs himself.

Otherwise, even if you have money, you don’t know where to buy it.

And this medicinal bath requires a large bucket of hot water every day.

Just the task of boiling water keeps Qin Huairu busy every day.

"Can you improve the Body Tempering Powder so that the powder can be made into an ointment and applied directly?"

Jia Weidong suddenly had an idea.

Just do it.

If you want to make Chinese medicine powder into ointment, you need a matrix.

Generally, petroleum jelly, glycerin or honey are used.

Vaseline is also known as petrolatum.

Advantages: strong sealing, high stability and low allergenicity.

Disadvantages: Only locks in moisture but does not replenish moisture, may cause acne.

Glycerin is also known as propylene glycol.

Advantages: moisture absorption, moisturizing and penetration promotion.

Disadvantages: High concentration will absorb moisture and irritate the skin.

honey.

Benefits: Naturally antibacterial, promotes healing.

Disadvantages: complex ingredients and easy to deteriorate.

The first two are available in chemical stores at a reasonable price.

Honey is already available in Jia Weidong’s space, the key is to sterilize it.

After buying Vaseline and glycerin from the chemical store, Jia Weidong began to immerse himself in experiments.

For several days in a row, Jia Weidong practiced the Dragon and Tiger Posture and then applied the ointment he prepared on his body.

We kept experimenting, but the results were not satisfactory.

Each of the three matrices has advantages and disadvantages.

While Vaseline can lock in the efficacy of the drug, it also hinders absorption.

Glycerin can penetrate but irritate the skin.

Although honey can promote absorption, it is easy to spoil. Moreover, honey contains high sugar content. When applied on the body, it feels too sticky and is difficult to wash off.

"If we can complement each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses..." He stared at the frosted glass on the windowsill and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

Take three enamel bowls, mix the three bases in different proportions, sprinkle in the medicine powder and blend into a light brown paste.

The next day, he practiced the standing meditation until his muscles felt like they were being pricked by needles.

Then roll up your sleeves and trouser legs and apply ointments made in different proportions to different parts of your body, such as your thighs and arms.

After a few minutes, I found that the ointment on my left arm had the most obvious pain-relieving effect.

The base of the ointment applied on the left arm is made of 15% vaseline, 15% glycerin and 70% honey.

"It's done!"

Jia Weidong was so excited that he slammed the table where the enamel bowl was placed, causing it to clink.

Qin Huairu, who was making hot water for him, was startled and almost dropped the enamel basin in her hand.

She looked at the dancing man and shook her head.

As she added water to the bath tub, she scolded, "You! You've been tinkering with this crappy ointment for so long, you're almost going insane!"

Jia Weidong quickly stripped off all his clothes, jumped into the bathtub, and laughed, "I just feel sorry for you getting up early every day to boil water for me, sister-in-law! Starting tomorrow you don't have to get up so early!"

Qin Huairu asked happily: "Boss! Is your ointment really effective?"

Jia Weidong smiled and said, "Of course! There is nothing in the world that your man can't do!"

Qin Huairu: "..."
