Chapter 155: Floured Pills
"Oh, it's going to be the New Year soon, and he'll really pick the time!" Liu Yi seems to have no other reaction to the opening of Li Lihong's farmhouse.
Li Lihong has a relatively tight grasp of the construction of farmhouses, which Liu Yi has heard others talk about the first few times, plus the Spring Festival is approaching, and with his relationship, he can also find a lot of related households to support.
However, now Liu Yi is still ready to operate his own affairs according to the ideas that have been planned. Before the Spring Festival, he basically didn't plan to do anything, the only thing to do was to give gifts to relatives and friends.
Some time ago, Liu Yi also successfully refined some pills after refining chemical fertilizers, and witnessed the effect of that pill after testing the method himself, Liu Yi planned to use these pills to give them to his relatives and friends in the business field who dealt with him this year.
But because he didn't know whether the pill he refined this time was a problem of his refining or his personal physique, Liu Yi reacted more after trying the pill himself, which was for ordinary people to take in case something went wrong.
So he decided to find a time to refine some more, and planned to add some edible substances to it to dilute the proportion of the pill after refining it as it was. It is equivalent to saying that the medicinal effect of the pill refined for the first time is 100%, and after Liu Yi adds substances to the pill in the future, the medicinal effect can only reach one-fifth, one-third or half of the current level, and it is divided into several grades.
I remember reading a report in the newspaper before, which reported that the person who sold counterfeit medicine said that the Chinese patent pills that cure all diseases were actually made of some anti-inflammatory drugs and some flour.
Liu Yi is also going to do this this time, there are many edible substances. But flour is undoubtedly a very suitable additive at a good price.
A few simple words of exchange with the uncle, by the way, I still asked him to inquire about Li Lihong's news, Liu Yi himself said that there was nothing to do, but the miscellaneous work was enough for him to be busy.
…………………………………………
It's a new day, today is a day away from the festival, Liu Yi has always not slept lazy, with the habit of having morning exercises with his Wen Yiqiu and a dry animal, and now the morning exercise army has added a new member, that is, the mighty rooster, which makes Liu Yi sometimes think. When is the time for the chickens to participate in the exercise?
really responds to the old saying called "chickens fly and dogs jump". However, with Liu Yi's running, there was no one who could really hold on, that is, Wen Yiqiu ran away with a group of animals, and they could be seen in the empty mountainous areas.
Liu Yi is not worried, there are no more dangerous animals in these barren slopes in winter. Even the snake that Liu Yi was afraid of hibernated. Only a few small hardy reptiles can only occasionally be seen in three or two.
Today, with Liu Yi, he is ready to refine the pills. I'll be ready to do it after breakfast.
I drove to the town of Luoshi and bought a bag of flour with the herbs I had purchased last time. The last time the grinding of herbs was obtained by his second cousin, this time Liu Yi was ruthless in his heart and bought a grinder for the processing and grinding of herbs.
Back in the roadside courtyard, Liu Yi set up the equipment. All the necessary equipment is prepared. After carefully inspecting one by one, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was no omission.
Carefully taking out the "Shennong Sutra", Liu Yi began to refine the pill according to the above steps.
This is still Liu Yi's second refining medicine, although he has had the experience of being successful the first time, but this thing can't be sloppy at all. Thinking that it is not a way to take the "Shennong Sutra" like this, and the paper on it is not very good, and if you turn it over a few more times, you may fall apart at some point.
But Liu Yi didn't dare to take out the "Shennong Sutra" to copy it, once it was known, it would be repaid, so Liu Yi couldn't help but be careless. Sometimes I even think of simply copying it all by myself, but I think that there are three major books of "Shennong Jing" The task is relatively arduous, and I haven't made up my mind for a while.
Make a fire, put in the herbs, add water, and keep the heat of the gas stove under control and keep the liquid medicine in the pill container boiling slightly. I thought that refining medicine in ancient times was really troublesome, not only had to be distracted to control the heat, but also added different medicinal materials in order from time to time.
Now that he has modern things, Liu Yi is much easier to refine medicine. If the ancestors of alchemy in ancient times knew that there were gas stoves or more modern things used for alchemy, then they might really have a heart attack and die again!
According to the script, I will not repeat it, and when all the medicinal materials are put into the container, Liu Yi will be relaxed, and after the most difficult time, as long as he looks at the heat, observes the consistency of the liquid medicine in the container, and replenishes the water a few times.
Refining medicine can't be stopped in the middle, and the time is about to reach noon, but Liu Yi gave an explanation to his mother in advance today, and he will solve it by himself at noon. And his mother also knew that Liu Yi was doing things about vegetables and fertilizers, so she didn't say much, but how did she know that Liu Yi was refining pills.
While it was still relaxing, Liu Yi ate some dry food that he brought with him - instant noodles and a box of biscuits. After a simple meal, I will start to get busy again.
It takes 5 or 6 hours to refine the elixir, and by the afternoon, when the elixir is about to be refined, Liu Yi will have to get the flour ready.
This time it was also his whimsical attempt to get the flour into the pill, and the first thing to solve was that the flour used to add to the pill must be cooked, and how to eat the raw flour, which is too unparticular.
So this time, Liu Yi thought of a way to fuse flour and pills together, that is, add an appropriate amount of water to the flour and put it on the gas stove to boil, at this time, the viscosity of the flour must be controlled, too dry and too clear to make the pill so perfect.
Counting the time, and then sniffing the indescribable medicinal fragrance wafting from the container, it was time to start the pot.
Looking at the thick liquid medicine poured out of the container, Liu Yi did not immediately knead it into small particles like last time, but added an appropriate amount of flour according to the proportion of the liquid medicine to mix them together.
At this time, in addition to the color of the dough is blue-green, it is almost the same as the glutinous rice sold outside, and before it cools, Liu Yi kneaded the dough as much as possible in order to combine the liquid medicine and flour as evenly as possible, which is also for the effect of a single pill to be consistent in the future.
I took a large porcelain bottle, kneaded the floured dough into small pea-sized particles one by one, and filled them all into the bottle, and today's pill refining was successfully completed. (To be continued......)
