Queen Mother is a Scientist

Chapter 2: Rotten radish is also of great use

Views:

Hua Qingxue was a little stunned for a moment.

They are currently in a difficult situation. Let alone finding weapons, it is difficult to survive...

Li Jingnan saw Hua Qingxue's expression was different. He grabbed Hua Qingxue's clothes and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you remember something? When I found you, you were on that mountain. Have you ever seen me before?" What weapon? Huh?"

After Hua Qingxue was rescued by Li Jingnan, she found that she had lost her memory. Even the name Hua Qingxue was given to her by Li Jingnan.

It was snowing in the sky at that time, and Li Jingnan said politely: "The thick frost and light snow are jealous of Tsinghua University. When the sun is warm, only flowers can be seen. From now on, you will be called Hua Qingxue!"

She felt it was strange and refused, thinking that she might regain her memory someday.

Li Jingnan had a very bad temper. He glared at her at that time and said, "How outrageous! Your Highness has given you a name, so there is no reason to take it back!"

So, Hua Qingxue's name was decided...

Now that she was being held by Li Jingnan, she was helpless, "I really don't know what weapons are there. I was on that mountain when I was conscious. I got lost, cold and hungry, and then I fell into a coma..."

However, every time she heard Li Jingnan say the word weapon, her heart would skip a beat, as if she had forgotten something... But she didn't dare to say this to Li Jingnan, not to mention that she didn't know anything. She couldn't remember it, and even if she did, she wouldn't dare to say something like this that would obviously get her into trouble...

Li Jingnan was slumped, "Yes, as a woman, what can you know..."

After hearing this, Hua Qingxue couldn't help but curse: What happened to the woman? You're still a little kid!

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the hospital.

The expressions of the two people in the room changed drastically, and they stopped talking instantly.

"...Miss Hua?" Following the knock on the door, a loud voice came from outside, "Miss Hua, I am the promotion of Fengle Tower!"

Fengle Building

Between the two of you in the room, you look at me and I look at you.

Hua Qingxue stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

"Open the door when you are sure." Li Jingnan huddled his whole body under the quilt and said worriedly.

Outside the door was Rong Sheng, a clerk from Fengle Building, standing outside with a big bundle in his arms.

Hua Qingxue was relieved. She recognized this guy. She had helped the cook in Fengle Building wash clothes several times and had seen this guy when she went to deliver clothes.

Hua Qingxue quickly opened the courtyard door.

"Is it Miss Hua? Aunt Yan said that last time Miss Hua washed her clothes and made them as good as new. She said that all the dirty clothes from now on will be handed over to you. No, I sent them all over." Rong Sheng said with a smile. "Aunt Yan also said that you have to worry about drying your clothes after washing them in this cold weather. The extra twenty yuan will be used as money to replenish the charcoal for you."

It has been raining and snowing these days. In order to hand over the washed clothes on time, Hua Qingxue carefully dried each piece of clothes on the fire before sending them over. This would indeed cost a lot of money. Originally, she was just doing things based on her credit. Unexpectedly, there will be an unexpected harvest today.

Twenty dollars... enough to eat meat for at least two days. She and Li Jingnan had never had any meat in the past few days.

When Li Jingnan saw Hua Qingxue walking in with a large bag of clothes, her face sank involuntarily, "Why are there so many clothes?"

Hua Qingxue knew that he was still feeling awkward, so she didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "My good highness, it would be good if you have clothes to wash. Now that the two of us can't lift our hands or resist, the money you have has been used for rent." In this yard, the only cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold were pawned and exchanged for food. Now I can make a few small bucks without going out, which is already a blessing."

Li Jingnan looked at Hua Qingxue's red and swollen hands, and felt very uncomfortable thinking that he had to rely on this woman to wash clothes to support himself, "How about you pawn my belt too."

"Your clothes are all made from materials from the palace. Let's not take any chances. It's fine as it is now."

The reason why she pawned that cotton-padded coat in the first place was because she and Li Jingnan were in a hurry and did not think things through carefully. Thinking about it afterwards, she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, there has been no news yet. I think it was probably because of this. No one in the small town could recognize the imperial items in the palace, but they couldn't take any chances just because no one noticed.

Li Jingnan pursed his lips and suddenly said, "I'll help you wash together." As he said that, he was about to get off the bed.

Hua Qingxue was startled and immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Li Jingnan was very unhappy. He sat on the edge of the bed and glared at Hua Qingxue, "What? Are you afraid that I will cause trouble to you? It is your blessing that my Highness will help you."

Hua Qingxue was quite helpless. Every time this boy pretended to be a prince, his words were particularly unpleasant.

These clothes to keep out the cold were thick and heavy after being soaked in water. How could a child like him rub them

However, Li Jingnan is not old, but he has a good temper. After getting along with him for a few months, Hua Qingxue gradually figured out his style of doing things, and knew that he was soft-spoken but not tough, so she persuaded him nicely: "Since your highness wants to help, , why don’t you help me smash those radishes in the yard?"

Li Jingnan looked at Hua Qingxue with suspicion and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Are you trying to trick me? Those rotten carrot heads are inedible, so what's the use of rubbing them into pieces?"

There were some rotten radishes and leftover radish tops from the restaurant piled in the yard, all of which were picked up by Hua Qingxue.

Hua Qingxue smiled and said, "Of course it's not for eating. I want it for washing clothes."

"Wash clothes? Use those carrot tops?" Li Jingnan wrinkled his nose with disbelief on his face.

Hua Qingxue nodded, stretched out her hand to find a piece of dirty clothes she had just brought in, pointed to the stains on it and said, "Aunt Yan is a cook. She often has to handle chickens, ducks and live fish with her own hands. Besides the oil stains on the clothes, , it is inevitable that there will be blood stains on it, and those radishes are used to wash away the blood stains."

Li Jingnan shook his head repeatedly, "How is that possible? Forget about white radish. If carrots were used, wouldn't it make the clothes red?"

Hua Qingxue blinked her eyes, "Isn't this strange? The reason why blood appears red is because it contains heme. The iron in heme exists in the form of ferrous iron and can be dissolved in water. At this time, it can be used directly Wash with water and wait for a long time. The ferrous iron in heme will be oxidized into ferric iron, which will coagulate with the protein in the blood, so it will be difficult to clean. However, you can use carotene by just mashing the carrots and adding salt. And the action of oxidase decomposes heme... "

Li Jingnan had a headache, "Here you go again, here you go again! You're talking nonsense again. I don't know where you heard it."

Hua Qingxue was also a little unhappy. She explained to him kindly, but it was thought to be nonsense.

So, she didn't say much more, and just said firmly: "Anyway, if I say it can be washed, it can be washed."

Li Jingnan saw Hua Qingxue's stern face, but became interested again, "Hey, how do you, a woman, know so many weird things? Did someone teach you something?"

Hua Qingxue gave him a white look and replied almost reflexively: "It's rare to see this, but my teacher is the world-famous Ai..."

The words were cut off in the air, stuck in mid-sentence with a stiff accent, and paused.

Li Jingnan lowered his head to put on his shoes and asked, "Who is that? Your teacher."

After not hearing Hua Qingxue's answer for a while, he looked up and realized something was wrong with Hua Qingxue's expression.

"Hey! Hua Qingxue?"

Hua Qingxue looked stunned. She came back to her senses, looked at Li Jingnan, and smiled sarcastically.

"I just... seemed to think of something, but suddenly stopped..."

Li Jingnan gave her an annoyed look and muttered, "I think you should rest! It's silly to wash clothes every day!"

After speaking, Li Jingnan opened the door and walked out to pick up the radishes.

Hua Qingxue was speechless. This kid obviously wanted to persuade her to rest, so couldn't he just say it nicely? You don't have to be so vicious.

At this time, she heard Li Jingnan calling her in the yard: "Hey! Do you want more white radish or carrots?"

Hua Qingxue shouted: "Carrots! If you leave some white radish, I can also bleach clothes!"

"You are a woman with so many strange tricks. It's so troublesome..."

Seeing Li Jingnan in the yard teaching her a lesson like a young adult, Hua Qingxue only felt angry and funny.

The cold air outside flowed into the house, and the mood that was suddenly aroused by the familiar memory fragments slowly calmed down in this cold weather.

She silently thought in her heart: Who exactly is she...

Why do I feel more uneasy the more I recall it

What's the matter with this feeling of incomparable loneliness that can't be found? …

Although she had lost her memory, Hua Qingxue had a vague feeling in her heart that she was different from the people here.

On winter nights, the small house was dark, with only the remaining fire in the stove flickering on and off, revealing the remaining heat.

Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan were squeezed into the same quilt.

The quilt was not thick, but Hua Qingxue pressed all the drying clothes on it, and with the body heat of the two people, it was rare to feel warm.

This is the most comfortable time for Hua Qingxue throughout the whole day, dry, warm, relaxed...

When they first depended on each other, Li Jingnan was determined not to allow her to get on the kang, let alone squeeze in a quilt.

According to Li Jingnan's wishes, Hua Qingxue should sleep on the ground, and it would be best to serve him tea at night.

But Hua Qingxue's brain circuit is different from the people here. She has no distinction between superiority and inferiority. On the first day, she couldn't help but grab Li Jingnan and squeeze her onto the kang.

Li Jingnan refused to sleep with her, but it was really cold in the second half of the night. In his sleep, he stumbled into Hua Qingxue's bed, and the two slept together until dawn, and that was it from then on. .

Hua Qingxue did not let the charcoal fire burn too brightly, nor did she dare to let it go out. She kept the stove half suffocated, and the weak charcoal fire was able to sustain it until dawn.

This broken house was leaking air everywhere, so Hua Qingxue didn't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning. She just begged that the charcoal fire wouldn't go out, because it was too difficult for her to make a fire...
