Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 58 This is called replacing the prince with a cat, do you understand?

Bring to boil over high heat, add two taels of water, and wait until the peach gum is gradually diluted into a paste, and the color of the gum fades from yellow-orange to light, and when a wooden stick is lifted, it falls in the shape of water drops. Then turn to low heat, simmer over low heat, and cook for another twenty minutes. The peach gum will be completely ready. At that time, remove the gum from the pot, bottle it, cool it, and it can be used completely.

Li Xiangdong used a peach wood stick to stir the peach gum in the pot continuously to prevent the hot bottom of the pot from burning.

The key to this job is to be patient and meticulous, and not to be impatient.

Fortunately, no matter in his past life or this life, Li Xiangdong has great patience and is very good at decocting medicine and has no resistance to it. This is a matter that tempers one's character and requires perseverance.

"Brother Dong, why did you come back so early today?"

While he was boiling peach gum, he heard a sound of surprise from the Chuihua Gate. He looked up and saw that He Yushui's frail body suddenly burst out with an infinite force and rushed over in two steps. He hung his bag on the side of the corridor and squatted on the ground, watching Li Xiangdong boiling peach gum curiously.

"I have something to do today, so come back early! Fix all the furniture!" Li Xiangdong greeted with a smile and kicked a stool over.

"Repairing furniture?" He Yushui's eyebrows were curved, and the haze between her eyebrows seemed to be swept away at once. "Then what are you doing? Do you need my help? It smells so good!"

"I'm boiling glue!" Li Xiangdong suddenly thought and handed her the peach wood stick. "Stir it for another ten minutes and the glue will be ready! Come and help me!"

"Okay!" He Yushui agreed readily and stretched her head to look at the contents of the jar. It was almost five o'clock and the sky was overcast, so she couldn't see clearly. She only knew that the medicine jar was full of the aroma of sugar, which tasted sticky and sweet.

"Brother Dong, why do you want to repair furniture today?" While stirring the sugar glue and enduring the stimulating taste buds, he tilted his head and watched Li Xiangdong hammering and repairing the drawer of a chest of drawers with tools.

"The Chinese New Year is only two months away, and I'm thinking about cleaning up. If I don't repair them, these furniture will be infested with maggots! The things are still in good condition, it will be a pity if they break!" Li Xiangdong smiled.

"Brother Dong, you are really a good housekeeper!" He Yushui pursed her lips and smiled happily.

Seeing her looking at the medicine jar eagerly, Li Xiangdong repaired it for a while, went into the house and took a bowl and a spoon, gently scooped a few spoonfuls from the medicine jar into the bowl, and handed it to He Yushui, "Eat it, I'm going to put Huayetian in it later to increase the viscosity, so this peach gum can't be eaten, it can only be used as glue, but don't eat too much of this thing, it's very greasy, you can try it!"

"Brother Dong, wow, you are so nice!" He Yushui took it with great joy, carefully holding the bowl, gently scraping the edge of the bowl with a spoon, scooped a spoonful but did not put it into his mouth, but blew it and handed it to Li Xiangdong, saying: "Brother Dong, you take a bite first!"

"..." Li Xiangdong was stunned. Knowing that this girl was kind-hearted, he smiled and took a bite. It was so sweet that he grinned. He quickly waved his hand, "You eat it. I've eaten a lot of this!"

"Okay!" He Yushui then happily held the bowl and sipped it in small sips, not even disliking Li Xiangdong's saliva.

"It's so sweet, Brother Dong, this is the most delicious, sweetest and most fragrant candy I have ever eaten!" He Yushui closed her eyes, feeling the sweetness of the peach gum exploding in her mouth. A sweetness went all the way from her taste buds to her heart, making her feel like she was in a honey pot.

Li Xiangdong smiled, then sat down at the table and started grinding furniture with a saw.

He didn't know much about mortise and tenon joints, and was unwilling to use nails to damage the structure of the furniture, so he tried to use the original components for the damaged parts and used peach gum to fill and repair them, trying to keep them as authentic as possible.

To repair the minor damaged parts, use peach gum from a pear tree to fill them first, and then paint them again after the glue is completely dry. This way, the damage will not be noticeable without a close look.

When the peach gum was almost finished, Li Xiangdong turned off the fire and added Huayetian, a medicinal material that increases the viscosity of the colloid, into it. He continued to stir it for a few minutes using the residual heat of the jar, and waited until the colloid and the herbs were fused again, and the peach gum was completely formed. Of course, it cannot be eaten again, otherwise it will stick to the stomach and intestines. This is almost the same as the 502 glue of later generations, and it is natural and environmentally friendly, and its effect is not inferior.

"I'll help you!" Seeing Li Xiangdong scoop out a small bowl of peach gum, He Yushui quickly put down the bowl and prepared to come over to help.

"Just eat with peace of mind. What's coming next is all about tricks, you can't do it, so just eat honestly!" Li Xiangdong held her shoulder and refused.

"Okay!" He Yushui sat aside obediently, holding the white porcelain bowl in her palm, standing on tiptoe, and watching Li Xiangdong work with a smile on her face.

In the corner of the central courtyard, Xiaodang and Banggeng stared at the door of Li Xiangdong's house. The two little guys took in everything that happened just now.

"Brother, the candy from Uncle Dong's house seems to be much more delicious than ours. This enema is not sweet at all! It only has a little bit of sugar! It's not delicious!" Xiaodang said with a pout.

"Why call him Uncle Dong! Hasn't he harmed your brother enough?" Banggeng was very dissatisfied with Xiaodang's address to Li Xiangdong. He said it resentfully, but in his heart he was also thinking about his family's candy.

Especially when the peach gum is collecting juice, the aroma that spreads in the yard is so fragrant that it makes me hungry.

"Brother, you have to admit that his candy is delicious, right? Look at Aunt Yushui, her eyes are curved when she eats it, it must be delicious! Let's... go over and ask for some! I really want to eat his candy, ours is not delicious at all!" Xiaodang was so eager that he kept shaking Banggeng's clothes.

Bang Geng shook his head. "You want me to go and beg him? I won't go..."

"Brother, please! If you don't go, I will tell mom that you asked me to steal grandma's medicine!" The family style of the Jia family has taught Xiaodang to threaten people at a young age. It is really a good inheritance.

"..." Bang Geng was furious, but when he saw his sister looking up at him and begging him, he couldn't bear to hit her, so he had to give in and said, "Then don't tell mom, I can go!"

"That's great, bro... woooo!"

Just when Xiaodang was about to jump up to celebrate, Banggeng covered his mouth with his hand.

At this moment, Jia Zhang rushed in from the Chuihua Gate, covering her buttocks and screaming, and ran to the Jia family.

Xiao Dang was so frightened that his face turned pale. "It's over, it's over, brother. My grandma must have gone out to look for medicine. What should I do? If she finds out that the medicine is missing, she will definitely know that we stole it!"

Bang Geng's expression also changed suddenly.

On one hand, he had to deal with the theft of medicine from his grandmother, and on the other hand, there was the strong smell of sugar outside Li Xiangdong's house...

At this moment, his hand touched the empty enema bottle in his pocket, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "We are so stupid! Xiaodang, I'll ask Li Xiangdong for some sugar and pour it into this bottle! Even grandma won't find anything. Didn't she say today that she won't take it? As long as we find the bottle and make sure the medicine is still there, she doesn't know what's inside anyway, so we can just steal it and eat it! Substituting a cat for a prince, do you understand?"

"Brother, you are so smart! Go quickly, we can get the candy soon!" Xiaodang almost jumped up with excitement.
