Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

After leaving the courtyard, Han Li sighed with regret: "It's a pity that I can't witness the grand occasion of Niu Xiaohua marrying into the Jia family!"

The fact that the Jia family was able to marry Niu Xiaohua, a "good daughter-in-law", was absolutely due to the great contribution made by Han, who was definitely a great matchmaker.

I can't witness this wedding in person, and I can't witness Niu Xiaohua and Jia Dongxu's "happy moment" in person.

So, what exactly is Han Li’s regret?

Never mind, it's not important.

Right now Han Li has to do something very important, which is to go to Old Monster Xue's house to get to know his family.

Because Boss Lou had specifically told him last night that Mr. Xue was an old-fashioned and eccentric person who attached great importance to rules. If he was careless and impolite in front of the old gentleman, he might not even be qualified to do odd jobs in the future.

In addition, Han Li also wanted Mr. Xue to be a quality inspector to check the "ancient shampoo".

What Hanli wants to create is a conscientious domestic product, rather than a fast-moving consumer product just for the purpose of making money. The quality must be strictly controlled and improved.

Han Li specially bought some snacks that Mr. Xue and his wife liked, and then went straight to the destination.

It has to be said that Lou Bancheng was really worried about Han Li's ability to study medicine smoothly with Mr. Xue, and he even specifically reminded him about the gifts he should bring when he visited him for the first time.

This scene was very similar to Han Li’s silent contribution when Old Han first entered the steel mill.

It was because Lou Bancheng took care of Han Li as if he were his own nephew that Han Li was quite touched;

Han Li is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others, so of course he wanted to give something back, so he thought of using the shampoo formula to repay the favor.

Arriving at the gate of the independent courtyard of Old Monster Xue’s house, Han Li knocked twice.

Knocking on the door when entering is a way to protect and respect the privacy of others.

Don't underestimate knocking on the door, there are a lot of things to consider;

Knocking once is meant to test and indicate that the person knocking is someone you don’t know.

Knocking twice and waiting for a response indicates that the knocker is familiar with the owner of the house;

Knock three times, is asking 'Is anyone home?'

Someone was knocking on the door "Bang bang bang" and shouting at the top of her voice, "Open the door, open the door, I know you are at home, don't hide in there without making any noise." This is Aunt Xue.

After waiting for a while, Xue Laoguai's vigilant voice came from the other side of the door: "Who is it?"

"Mr. Xue, it's me, Xiao Han. You said last night that you were in need of a handyman, so I came over to help you."

Not long after Han Li finished speaking, the door opened.

"Come in." Mr. Xue glanced at Han Li calmly, then ordered: "Close the door first. From now on, the job of opening and closing the door will be left to you."

Han Li's expression lit up with joy, and he said gratefully: "Mr. Xue, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your last disciple!"

Mr. Xue stared at Han Li with a surprised look, wondering: Did I say last night that I would take you as my disciple, or as my last disciple? !

It was not until he saw Han Li going to close the door that Old Monster Xue suddenly realized. It turned out that the closing disciple was this one. He was really amused and laughed for no apparent reason.

But thinking of the fact that this brat was a clever person, the old man felt unhappy again.

A tree cannot grow into a useful object if it is not pruned, and jade cannot be made into a useful tool if it is not carved. Just when Mr. Xue was about to give Han Li a good beating, he suddenly smelled the odor of medicine coming from Han Li, and his brain immediately began to analyze automatically.

After identifying the medicinal herbs that Han had come into contact with, Old Monster Xue thought about it over and over again, but he really couldn't remember what prescription these herbs were put together to form, and what disease could they cure?

Could it be that this little guy who has only learned a little bit of the basics is randomly prescribing medicine for others? If this is the case, then such a person with evil intentions must not be allowed to stay!

Mr. Xue was a straightforward person who never beat around the bush. He asked directly, "Boy, what kind of medicine did you make with Polygonum multiflorum, Platycladus orientalis, Sapindus mukorossi, Gleditsia sinensis...? Is it for human consumption?"

"Mr. Xue, you have an amazing nose. You can find all kinds of medicinal herbs."

Han Li praised him at first, then smiled shyly and said, "I figured out a recipe for washing hair, and I wanted to bring it to you for your advice."

When he heard about washing his hair, Old Monster Xue looked at Han Li's hair and said in surprise: "No wonder I felt that you were much more energetic today, it turns out that the reason is here!"

At this time, Han Li hurriedly handed over a small gourd filled with shampoo and said sincerely: "Mr. Xue, please take a look at the quality of this ointment for me."

Mr. Xue was curious to begin with, so he took the small gourd, opened it, smelled it, and poured some out and rubbed it on his hands. It was smooth and foamy, so it could be used as soap, and its medicinal properties were relatively mild.

After all, everyone has their own expertise. This is the first time I have seen something like this in my sixty years of life. Now I can only confirm that the ingredients in this thing are non-toxic, and there will be no problem as long as you don't eat it.

"Is this the ointment you used to wash your head?"

After getting a positive answer, Mr. Xue started working directly and unexpectedly discovered that Han Li's hair was really fresh and smooth. He then peeled off Han Li's hair and carefully observed its roots, which were also very healthy.

The old man frowned and thought for a moment, then he realized that Han had figured out the combination of soap and hair oil. It was not easy for him to have such understanding at such a young age!

At this point, even Old Monster Xue had to look up to Han Li.

At this time, a kind and gentle female voice came from the main room: "Old man, the tea is ready. Please invite the guests in to have tea."

Han Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw a kind and amiable old lady standing at the door of the main house. He hurriedly gave her a kind smile.

"Han boy, this is my wife, her maiden name is Zhao."

Mr. Xue pointed at Han Li and said, "Old lady, this is Han, he is here to do odd jobs for me. You don't need to pay him. Just let him do any work you need in the future."

Hearing this, Han Li inevitably felt a little embarrassed, but it did not prevent him from greeting her with a warm smile: "Hello, Granny Zhao, my name is Han Li, you can just call me Xiao Han."

Han Li also thought about the name. Calling her grandma seemed too intimate, while calling her auntie seemed a bit distant, so calling her mother-in-law was just right.

Granny Zhao smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Han, come in and have some tea."

When Han Li got closer, he found that Grandma Zhao was an old lady with bound feet who was oppressed by feudal ethics.

However, it can be seen that the old lady is a very clean person. She keeps the house spotless. The furnishings in the room are simple and quaint, and the items are placed very carefully.

This is a standard independent courtyard house with four rooms surrounding a yard in the middle.

Han Li guessed that this courtyard was most likely occupied by only Mr. Xue and his wife, otherwise, he would not be able to become the "closed disciple".

After Mr. Xue entered the house, he handed the gourd to his wife and said, "Old lady, the shampoo made by Han seems to be much better than the soap. Try it next time you wash your hair."

As a person who likes cleanliness, Granny Zhao is obviously very interested in shampoo.

Han Li was also a smart guy. He took the opportunity to explain to Grandma Zhao in detail how to use shampoo.

After Han Li finished speaking, Old Monster Xue coughed twice and handed over a palm-sized box with a stern face: "Han boy, I won't take advantage of you. I see that your Qi and blood are a little deficient. Here are some warming pills, one a day."

"Mr. Xue, the gift you gave me is really too valuable. But as the old saying goes, a gift from an elder should not be refused, so I had no choice but to accept it."

Han Li's face was filled with gratitude, and he knew clearly in his mind that this warm tonic pill was probably a meeting gift that Mr. Xue had prepared for him a long time ago.

This made Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This arrogant old man is actually quite cute!
