Chapter 363 - Health Oral Liquid
Although Xiao Ping trusts the recipe recorded in the ancient book very much, this is something to be introduced to the market after all, so it is better to be cautious. Before the official sale, a series of tests must be done.
There are more than 30 herbs used in the prescriptions recorded in ancient books, and most of them need to go through different treatments before they can really be used in medicine. In addition, all the medicinal materials need to be cleaned, and some need to be sliced and crushed, even if it is only a small amount of production, the workload is really not small.
Fortunately, Hu Mei is helping and sharing a lot of work for Xiao Ping. Xiao Ping had already told Hu Mei the secret of the demon refining pot, so naturally there was no need to hide it from her. The two of them worked together to deal with those herbs, and after a busy week, they could finally start decocting the herbs in earnest.
Although it is said to be a small-scale test, it also requires a much larger dose than one person takes. Xiao Ping was completely based on the records on the prescription, increased the dosage of various medicinal materials according to the proportion, and carefully arranged it. The total amount of various medicinal materials used is close to 60 catties, and three times the water must be added to simmer. There was no such a big pot in the farm, so Xiao Ping had to think of a stupid way to slowly boil out the medicinal juice in batches.
Decoction is a delicate job that requires patience. In addition, the prescription also has very strict requirements for the process of decoction, so Xiao Ping didn't dare to be careless, and he and Hu Mei were busy all night before they boiled out the first batch of more than ten catties of medicinal liquid.
The freshly boiled liquid is concentrated in a stainless steel pot. Different from common Chinese medicine, the decoction liquid has a faint golden color, which looks a little similar to beer. Moreover, this liquid does not have the pungent smell of ordinary Chinese medicine. It doesn't smell like plain water.
"It's a strange medicine. Xiao Ping carefully looked at the liquid medicine and said to Hu Mei: "If this recipe is not recorded in the ancient books, I will definitely not even dare to touch it!"
Hu Mei was also very interested in the freshly boiled medicinal liquid. smiled and said to Xiao Ping: "Don't forget that there is the last material that has not been added, maybe it will be even more strange after adding it." ”
"That's right. Xiao Ping nodded in agreement with Hu Mei's statement. With a slight stroke of his left hand on his right arm, a small demon refining pot appeared in his hand.
The most obscure ingredient on that health medicine prescription is the spiritual liquid produced by the demon refining pot. According to the records of the prescription, one drop of spiritual liquid can be diluted to prepare ten parts of medicinal liquid, and the medicinal liquid that Xiao Ping boiled was twenty times the amount, so he had to add two drops of spiritual liquid to it. Only after adding the spiritual liquid, this health oral liquid is officially completed, and it will have an effect after drinking.
Xiao Ping's hand was very steady, hanging above the pot without the slightest trembling. Slowly tilt the demon refining pot and add two drops of spiritual liquid to the potion liquid. As soon as the spiritual liquid was put into the pot, the liquid immediately underwent a noticeable change.
The original pale golden liquid became darker and darker, turning into a pure golden yellow. At the same time, the potion began to smell like a mixture of sandalwood and a hint of flowers, which continued to grow stronger and stronger, making the whole room smelly.
"It's a prescription left by the immortals. Xiao Ping took a deep breath of the fragrance and praised Hu Mei sincerely: "This thing is not to mention physical fitness, even if it is sold as a perfume, someone will want it." ”
Hu Mei nodded again and again to agree with Xiao Ping's statement. Then he said to him seriously: "Lord, let me test the medicine first!"
Of course, Xiao Ping knew the intention of Hu Mei to do this. She was afraid that there was something wrong with this medicine, so she preemptively tried the medicine first. However, Xiao Ping didn't agree to Hu Mei, just shook his head lightly and said, "You also said it a few days ago." The environment in the Demon Refining Pot is not for you. It's hard to guarantee that this prescription will not be harmful to you, so I'll do it. ”
Knowing that Xiao Ping was thinking about himself, Hu Mei nodded gratefully. No more rushing to test the drug. Xiao Ping scooped a spoonful of liquid medicine with a small spoon prepared in advance, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully. Then I tasted it carefully.
The liquid medicine is not as bitter as the Chinese medicine in Xiao Ping's impression, but sweet and refreshing. As soon as you put it in your mouth, it lifts people's spirits. And this liquid medicine is just right, not only does it not have the slightest feeling of sweetness, but it is very refreshing, better than any drink Xiao Ping has ever drunk.
And after the liquid medicine was put into his stomach, Xiao Ping didn't feel any discomfort, he only felt that his stomach was warm and very comfortable, and he couldn't help but burp and said, "It seems to be pretty good!"
After making this brief evaluation, Xiao Ping drank all the medicinal liquid in the spoon, smacked his mouth and said to Hu Mei: "I don't know if it has an effect, but at least it tastes very good!"
"Let me taste it!" Hu Mei already liked all kinds of delicious things, and seeing Xiao Ping's satisfied expression, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she hurriedly snatched the spoon from Xiao Ping's hand, scooped a spoonful and sent it to her mouth.
Hu Mei drank the liquid medicine in one go, her pretty face was full of intoxicated smiles, and her bright eyes were even more happy. She gave Xiao Ping a thumbs up and exclaimed loudly: "The taste is so good, even if it is sold as a drink!"
Hu Mei has always been a little gluttonous cat, and of course a spoonful of medicine can't satisfy her appetite. At this time, the little fox was intoxicated with the deliciousness, and regardless of whether the liquid was suitable for him, he was ready to scoop the second spoonful without thinking about it.
As soon as the spoon in Hu Mei's hand reached out to the pot, it was snatched away by Xiao Ping's hand. Hu Mei looked at Xiao Ping pitifully, his misty eyes were full of pleading, and he silently begged Xiao Ping to let her take a few more sips.
Even Xiao Ping couldn't resist the pitiful Hu Mei, and hurriedly explained to her: "It's not that I won't let you drink it, I'm worried that the medicinal liquid will have a bad effect on you, what if it's dangerous to drink so much at once?"
Of course, Hu Mei knew that Xiao Ping was for his own good, but he just couldn't control himself. The little fox reluctantly glanced at the cauldron containing the liquid medicine, stomped his foot and turned around and went upstairs. She also knew that she couldn't resist the delicious potion herself, so she simply couldn't see it and was not bothered.
Seeing Hu Mei go upstairs, Xiao Ping couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Don't look at Hu Mei is usually a sexy stunner, but when she encounters delicious food, she exposes her greedy nature, which is likely to be related to her original race.
Hu Mei picked up and left, Xiao Ping can't go, and he has to bottle it next. A few days ago, Xiao Ping specially bought a batch of glass bottles, he filled each bottle with two spoonfuls of liquid medicine, and then mixed in mineral water to fill the bottles. After diluting the potion of liquid, it filled more than 200 bottles, and both the workbench and the table in the kitchen were occupied by these bottles.
Looking at the glass bottles in his eyes, Xiao Ping couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's finally done!" (To be continued.) )
