After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Chapter 263 Lihua takes a bath

Bai Qingyun had seen Madam Su's silver needles before.

Different from ordinary needles for sewing, this silver needle is made through Su Niangzi's special craftsmanship.

As thin as a hair, killing as invisible.

In the time it took for a few long hairs to flutter, the silver needle came out and pierced into the acupuncture point, killing the person on the spot.

After the death, only a tiny wound is left, similar to a mosquito bite.

If an ordinary coroner performed an autopsy, it would be difficult to find it.

Bai Qingyun knew that Madam Su would not kill him, but he was still somewhat afraid of the lethality of the "silver needle".

This fear also made her come to watch the joke, but she didn't dare to laugh directly.

She was also afraid of the silver needles entering her body. It would not be fatal, but different acupoints had different effects. She could still make herself feel uncomfortable for a few days.

Therefore, Bai Qingyun could only "guide" her step by step and let Su Niangzi say it out loud.

Bai Qingyun heard Su Niangzi's low response and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh! Cooking? Today I heard explosions coming from the kitchen at home..."

After saying that, he covered his mouth and continued in horror: "This... You weren't... at that time..."

Mrs. Su finished eating the last piece of peach and placed the fruit plate on the coffee table. She had no intention of paying any attention to this deliberately pretentious person.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart: You were clearly still in the ancestral hall upstairs at that time!

Don't think she doesn't know. At this distance, plus the noise along the way and the fact that the explosion itself was not loud, even for her, it would be difficult to hear anything.

She believed that there were people in this world who had sharper ears and eyes than her.

But she didn't believe that such a capable person would be the "pretentious" person in front of her.

The really pretentious Bai Qingyun didn't care at all, he also put down his fruit plate and stood up.

Circling around the single sofa of Su Niangzi, he pretended to be concerned and asked, "How are you? Are you not hurt?"

"If you get hurt, remember to take the pills I gave you last time! Don't be reluctant!"

After saying that, he sat on the armrest of Su Niangzi's sofa and sniffed Su Niangzi's body carefully.

At this moment, everyone else in the yard had gone to the front yard, leaving only two people.

In the quiet room, the only sound was the "whoosh" coming from Bai Qingyun's nose.

Mrs. Su was forced to retreat again and again by the girl's actions and could only retreat to a corner of the sofa.

Seeing that Madam Su had no more room to hide, Bai Qingyun stood up, let her go, and returned to his seat.

"Well, there's no smell of blood." After saying that, he pretended to be ambiguous and said, "But... what kind of flower petals do you use for bathing? They smell so... good?"

The nearby hills are recently full of flowers, but since they are in the wild, without any careful tending by humans, they are growing in a disorderly manner.

Madam Su had just returned home and didn't have time to go to the mountains to pick flowers.

But if you are at home, the closest one is the pear tree in the yard.

Lady Su's answer indeed confirmed Bai Qingyun's thoughts: "My disciple is filial and specially... went to the yard to pick pear blossoms."

After saying this, she pointed towards the screen not far behind her, where there were still some unused pear blossoms in the basket.

However, this kind of "showing off" is still not as good as Bai Qingyun's.

If it were true that Madam Su threatened Xiao Yan to pick pear blossoms, it would be somewhat believable, but if she did it for the purpose of learning martial arts, it would make it more credible.

Speaking of filial piety...

Although Xiao Yan was not unfamiliar with Madam Su, he was not very close to her either.

Especially, there is Bai Qingyun in front of him for comparison.

This pear tree was specially planted by Grandpa Bai in Bai Qingyun's yard. Xiao Yan usually doesn't do this.

At most, it would be enough to pick up the pear blossoms that were blown down by the wind and rain.

Bai Qingyun had no intention of exposing this matter, which was known to everyone.

But compared to the pear blossoms, Bai Qingyun was more concerned about something else: "Only pear blossoms? Why do I smell something else..."

After saying that, he pretended to smell it more carefully: "This smell...why does it smell a bit...like..."

"lard!"

Unlike many strong floral scents, the aroma of pear blossom is very low-key, not overly strong or irritating, giving people a fresh feeling.

This fresh scent can bring joy and relaxation to the mood, giving people a sense of lightness as if they are in the clouds, as if the body and mind are lifted by this fresh scent and float to a better place.

In the early morning, after a night of dew, the fragrance of the pear blossoms will appear particularly fresh; and in the evening, as the temperature gradually drops, the fragrance of the pear blossoms will become softer.

Taking a bath with pear blossoms contains natural plant essences that can help replenish the moisture needed by the skin, keeping it soft and moisturized. It is especially effective in relieving dry skin caused by dry weather in spring.

Not only that, it is also very effective in soothing the skin, relaxing the mood, improving sleep, etc.

In this spring, for women at home who have some means, taking a bath in pear blossom petals is one of the first choices.

After soaking the pear blossoms in Su Niangzi's hot water and the remaining pear blossoms in the bamboo basket, Bai Qingyun smelled the fragrance of pear blossoms in the whole room as soon as he opened the door.

But this smell... is not just as pure as the scent of pear blossoms.

Refined lard contains a small amount of protein and other organic substances, which produce a subtle sweetness when heated, giving the overall taste of lard a slightly sweet aftertaste.

A higher proportion of saturated fatty acids gives it a silky and delicate taste when eaten, while also bringing a rich and oily feel.

If cooked at high temperature, the aroma and taste of lard will be greatly enhanced.

However, when lightly heated, lard has a milder flavor and is not too strong.

Bai's mother helped Su Niangzi light the fire, and then lit the small firecrackers buried inside. During this time, they only had time to heat the lard slightly.

It just slowly melted the lard that had originally solidified into a milky white color.

Although lard cooked at high temperature is very fragrant, you won’t feel it that way when the fragrance gets on your body.

On the contrary, it will feel a bit "fishy" because it stays on your body for a long time.

Fortunately, it did not experience high temperatures, so Mrs. Su's well-maintained skin was not burned.

But she herself is a person who loves beauty and is very particular about the makeup she uses. How could she tolerate this smell on her body all the time?

I guess this is also the reason why Xiao Yan was asked to pick pear blossoms.

Maybe most of them were picked by this person himself...

Bai Qingyun pursed his lips hard, trying to suppress his gloating, and spoke to Su Niangzi with a little sympathy while holding back his smile.

"Tell me, if you can't cook, just tell me directly!"

"I'm not asking you to come home just to cook. You can teach Xiao Yan more when you have time, and help me carve those little gadgets in your free time. That's enough!"
