Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Chapter 103 Massage
  The peppers and tomatoes are already ripe. The peppers are not cold-tolerant. Shen Jia saved the pepper seeds and planted them again next spring.

Tomatoes are cold-resistant, so Shen Jia planted them in dry land.

After three months of special training, Liu Erhu and Liu Sanlin had grown taller and had some flesh on their faces. Shen Jia gave their kung fu a try. It was no problem for one of them to beat two or three adult men who had no martial arts skills.

It was time to go to the capital. There happened to be caravans from other counties passing by Yi County on their way to the capital, so Shen Jia asked them to accompany them.

Shen Jia gave each of them a sharp dagger, and gave them a dozen banknotes of different denominations to sew into their clothes. He also gave them several bottles of drug, Ruanjin Powder, and with their cleverness, they There will be no problem in staying in Beijing.

Liu Erhu cupped his fists and saluted: "Girl, after we leave, my sister and Xiaobao will be in your care."

Shen Jia patted their shoulders: "Don't worry! I will take good care of them. You must remember that your most important task is to inquire about news, and you can tell me any news you think is useful.

In the capital, there are many rich and powerful families. Don't cause trouble. If someone provokes you, tolerate it if you can. If you can't bear it, run away. Don't fight with others.

Tolerance is not cowardice, but the wisdom and courage to bear humiliation and bear heavy burdens. Of course, you can secretly do something behind your back, but if you can't do it, just write them down, and I will avenge you in the future. The most important thing is to ensure your own safety. "

"Don't worry, girl, we will remember it." Liu Erhu and Liu Sanlin clasped their fists and left with the caravan.

Shen Jia saw Liu Xiaoying crying and said, "If you can't bear to leave them, you can go with them."

Liu Xiaoying shook her head: "I'll wait until the girl goes to the capital."

Shen Jia shrugged: "It's up to you, you can take Xiaobao to the medicine store."

Liu Xiaoying took Xiaobao to the pharmacy that day, where she usually studied in the school and learned some basic pharmacological knowledge.

Pharmacological knowledge is usually taught to them by Li Yi'an's second son, Li Yumin, and occasionally there are practical classes. Shen Jia will also teach them some simple nursing knowledge every now and then.

Sister Li has a good relationship with them. She travels to Beili Village Medicine Store every day and studies various knowledge diligently.

Xu Fan was admitted to Yunhua Academy in Wucheng. Yunhua Academy is one of the most famous academies in Lingnan. The dean was a second-ranked Jinshi. He became the headmaster of Yunhua Academy because he was disgusted with the intrigues in official circles.

When Xu Fan came to Shen's house to say goodbye, his eyes were open and clear. He must have let go of his admiration for Shen Jia, and Shen Jia was also happy for him.

Xu Zhiyuan came over from Wucheng and lived in Shen's guest house. He studied new delicacies every day with the pepper peels given by Shen Jia.

Xiao Yichen sent someone to bring the tools for refining pills. Shen Jia tried it. Although it was not as fast as the machine in his previous life, it was much faster than the alchemy furnace.

She wrote to Xiao Yichen, praising him for his fast work efficiency and writing him the pharmaceutical process.

The jujubes in the Liangzhuang orchard were ripe, and Shen Jia asked his servants to pick them back and teach them how to make jujube wine.

Unknowingly, it was the twelfth lunar month, and no one from the capital had arrived yet, so Shen Jia was happy and free.

The sunflowers have grown to two feet tall and are growing well. Sunflowers are cold-resistant and are not afraid of cold weather.

The weather in the twelfth lunar month in Lingnan is very strange. The sun is still shining brightly in the morning, but it starts to get colder in the afternoon, and it starts to drizzle.

Shen Jia had internal strength and did not feel cold, but Liang Ronggui and Aunt Hua felt cold to the core. Cotton was not yet popular in this era, and there were no cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. Most people wore a few extra pieces of clothing, or clothes with straw, catkins, reeds, etc. Wealthy people wore clothes made of animal skins.

Fortunately, the cold period in Lingnan does not last long. It usually only lasts for ten days before the weather warms up.

The seventh uncle, perhaps because of his age, was still sick, so he asked Shen Jia to see him.

When Shen Jia arrived at the seventh uncle's house, Lu Xiaoju and her son were also there. They both stood up at the same time and greeted Shen Jia: "Miss Shen."

Shen Jia smiled and nodded: "Aunt Lu, Lu Jie."

After Lu Xiaoju returned to Beili Village, she asked Shen Jia to help change her son's surname to hers, and Shen Jia readily agreed.

The seventh uncle's sons helped Lu Xiaoju build three mud-brick houses and bought her an acre of terraced fields. Now she can be considered a person with land and a house. The last time the Shen family built a house, she also worked as a cook. Later, when the Shen family hired people to harvest rice in the village, she came too. The combined money earned from both times was enough for mother and son to live for a while.

Lu Xiaoju also went to the nearby mountains to collect medicinal materials and sell them with the Wang family. This was established by Li Damei after she often went to the medicine store to get acquainted with Li Yi'an's son. They collected some commonly used medicinal materials, which were relatively cheap and could earn ten dollars a day. Text around.

The two women, who had also experienced hardships, comforted each other and sympathized with each other, and soon became good friends.

Lu Xiaoju's face looks much better now than before. She was already pretty, but now her eyebrows are relaxed, and she has a bit of a young woman's charm.

Shen Jia glanced at Lu Jie, who was standing next to Lu Xiaoju obediently, and thought about how he could help the folks in Beili Village increase their income next year.

Shen Jia sat down and took the pulse of Uncle Seventh: "Uncle Seventh, how do you feel?"

The seventh uncle's eyes were dull and his voice was very nasal: "I feel tired all over my body and my head is dizzy." After saying this, he closed his eyes again.

The seventh uncle is old and the weather is cold, so he is not suitable for acupuncture, so he can only use a three-pronged approach of massage, medicinal bath, and drinking decoction.

Shen Jia then said to Lu Xiaoju: "Aunt Lu, the weather is cold and the seventh uncle is not suitable for acupuncture. I will teach you a massage method that can effectively relieve the symptoms. After you learn it, you can massage him every day. You can first massage the seventh uncle. Uncle, help me up, and I will teach you how to massage the acupuncture points for your seventh uncle."

"it is good."

"This is the Fengchi point. Use your right thumb and index and middle fingers to pinch the Fengchi point thirty times, and then use your thumb to massage the Fengchi point thirty times." Shen Jia pointed at the point on the back of the neck, under the back of the skull. Said at the level of the earlobe.

Lu Xiaoju immediately followed Shen Jia's instructions.

After she finished, Shen Jia continued: "Use your left thumb and index finger to pinch both sides of the cervical tendons tightly, and quickly pull upward seven times. Then use your thumb and index finger to start from Fengchi point and go back and forth along the two cervical tendons fifteen times. .”

At this time, the seventh uncle's son and grandson also came. Seeing Lu Xiaoju's strange movements, they didn't dare to ask more questions.

There were so many people in the bedroom at once, making the space seem even smaller.

Shen Jia frowned slightly: "You guys go and pull out some chicken vines, mugwort leaves, and lemongrass right away... Come back, wash them and put them in a pot to make a medicinal bath. Let them dry until the water temperature is right and let the seventh uncle take a bath. It can dispel wind evil and dizziness. Brain swelling.”

"Okay. I'll go now." After speaking, two of the seventh uncle's sons went out to find herbs.
