Chapter 18: The Jade Paste (I)
The juice of apricot bile is the main material of Liangyu paste, and the density of the juice of apricot bile is also very large, and the juice of a needle tube is completely enough for them to use for a while.
Set up a large beaker and start boiling water until it boils, pour all the liquid of the apricot gall into it, and then the tumbling liquid instantly cools down, and even when the liquid of the apricot gall touches the boiling water, a layer of frost appears on the outside of the beaker in an instant!
Xiaobao observed for a while, and found that the beaker was of good quality, and there was no sign of breaking, before he began to deal with other things.
There are a total of 23 materials of good jade paste, and the treatment methods are different for each species.
For example, apricot gallbladder, this one needs to take its juice and cook it until it boils.
Rice crackers, on the other hand, need to be mashed and then stirred with the powder of yellow leaf grass and frost.
Fortunately, the cooling effect of the apricot gall is very good, and the outside of the beaker has formed a thick layer of ice after a while, and Xiaobao only needs to carefully scrape off a part of it.
When stirring, the original viscous rice crackers slowly became thinner, and the color changed from the original beige white to a transparent color, and even in the end, the temperature of the mash mashed into rice crackers is slowly increasing, and even the small bubbles that come out of it can be seen, you can feel the heat coming out of it without reaching out to feel it, after adding frost for the second time, this boiling goes directly to a fixed point, and it looks like hot water that has been boiled!
Mi Mi Guo needs to 'calm down', this boiling is actually a transformation, and it will take a while to complete, so Xiao Bao put Mi Mi Guo aside and started to deal with other things.
Except for the troublesome handling of rice crackers and apricot gall bladders, the other ingredients are very simple, either mashed or directly ground into powder, when Xiaobao extracts the juice from the tail meat of the last spiked ant, Yiqiē is ready.
At this time, a string of small bubbles also bulged into the juice of the apricot gall, and the original frost had also dissolved, and the original light yellow liquid was now dark green, and the original liquid had also volatilized a lot, and now it was only the usual appearance.
Xiao Bao added some water to it again, and the original dark green color seemed to become darker, and then a trace of frost appeared on the outer layer of the beaker again.
However, it is obvious that this time Xiao Baojia does not have much water, and there is not much frost hanging on it, but the bubbles inside have indeed disappeared.
When I picked up the rice crackers that had been processed aside, the temperature had cooled down, the bubbles inside had disappeared, and now even the original 'liquid' appearance had become semi-solid, looking like jelly.
Xiaobao took out a metal rod from the side to stir it, originally a glass rod should have been used to make zuò good jade paste, but who told her to bring all the things, now she can only barely make do! Seeing the frost on the beaker disappear, just in time for the frost to disappear and the bubbles inside had not yet risen, Xiaobao decisively poured the processed rice crackers into it, and then, even though she had been prepared, she was still startled by the water vapor that came out in an instant, and at the same time, her hands were also smacked by the soup.
Fortunately, she wore gloves, so she just felt the hot temperature, and she was not really burned, but even so, it gave her a feeling of palpitations.
Especially, when the heat was rising, her face also felt that burning sensation at the same time, which was not good at all!
Boldly endure the blazing heat and start stirring with a metal rod, and the liquid in the beaker, which was originally calm, slowly began to tumble, as if it had broken some spell in an instant, and became hot like magma.
From cold to red-hot, fortunately, the quality of this beaker is very good, otherwise it would have exploded by this time!
Xiao Bao thought about this to divert his attention, and at the same time, the movements of his hands kept moving, so that the two liquids that were not very obedient merged together.
With Xiaobao's stirring, the liquid in the beaker also underwent a wonderful change, the original liquid became viscous, the original dark green color became a real black color, and sometimes bubbles appeared on it and suddenly exploded, it looked like something bad!
Xiaobao couldn't help grinning, while holding his breath and put other processed materials into it, as those materials were put in, a pungent smell came out of the beaker, the black color with that terrible taste, this thing just looked like this, it really seemed to be something unspeakably terrible!
Xiaobao stirred again, and after putting everything into it, she quickly clamped the beaker with a large tong, and then directly buckled it into a large metal bowl with half a bowl of water!
Poured Dongdong directly into the jelly-like stuff, and after watching this thing like water, it began to melt slowly, Xiaobao directly pulled out a piece of plastic wrap from Naga, sealed the bowl, and after sealing it tightly, he picked up the larger bowl on the side and buckled it, leaving it in a dark state.
Originally, this step needed to be put into a special instrument to change the waiting period, but who made them have nothing now, so they can only make do with it!
After making it, Xiaobao cleaned everything he had used several times with clean water, and then began to prepare for the second preparation of the jade paste.
Although it is said that that piece of good jade paste is enough for the four of them to use for a long time, but now after all, there is still Zhao Chenyu and they are not, so Xiaobao is ready to make a piece!
With the first experience, it was much easier to do the second time, and by the time she poured the unidentified object from the beaker into the basin, sealed it with plastic wrap, and closed the large basin upside down, it was almost time for the jade paste at the beginning.
Carefully lifting the large basin covered outside, a basin of emerald green paste appeared in front of her eyes.
Lifted the freshness on it and reached out and touched it carefully, the touch of the hand is also very silky and soft, but it is full of toughness, and it will not be picked out without force!
Moreover, the original terrible smell is gone, replaced by a fresh smell like grass, just looking at it, it feels like a beautiful jade is in front of you.
It's just a pity that although she has been very careful when she processed the materials, it is obvious that this kind of meticulousness is not enough, although the good jade paste zuò has come out, and it looks similar to what you see in the prescription, but there is no medicinal qi generated.
In other words, this good jade paste is made of zuò, but the good jade paste that comes out of this zuò has not entered the star, and at most it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
However, I buckled a piece and applied it to the back of my hand and tried it, just a little bit of good jade paste smeared the whole hand and half of the little arm, and there was a faint cool feeling in the place where it was applied, and that feeling, slowly, a layer of goosebumps floated on the place where it was applied, which was not allergies or anything like that, but cold!
Xiaobao took water to wash off the ointment on it, and then couldn't help but feel a little palpitating.
It seems that there is a problem with the quality of this good jade paste, and there is also a problem with the original efficacy of the guide, at least the effect of isolating the cold and being hot as mentioned in the original prescription is also hot, so that the human body is in a constant temperature and comfortable feeling!
After applying the jade ointment, I felt that there was a cool breeze in the place where it was applied, and it was okay for a short time, like her physique, it would definitely freeze out after a long time!
Well, though, they should be fine with stones!
Xiao Bao thought so, and then he became happy, completely forgetting about Rosa and them, happily holding the good jade paste he had made, and went out to find Naga and them!
