There were bursts of laughter from the hall, and Su Bao'er couldn't help but think of her previous life.

In her previous life, she was also born in a big family, but they were indifferent to each other, and every time they got together, they either had a sweet mouth and a sword, or they fought for a red face, and there had never been such a harmonious scene.

The reason is not complicated.

One is the unclear patriarch, who plays the power trick of co-opting, balancing and suppressing at home to ensure his dictatorial status, creating a family environment where selfish and cold-blooded brothers fight.

The second is that the family members are not able to stare at the meat in the pot, and the more others share, the less they have, so her mother does not hesitate to stick a knife into her heart so that her son can get her resources.

Fortunately, the environment has changed, the elders are kind and gentle, never partial, brothers and friends, each has a career, and no one is staring at the family's one-third of an acre.

Su Bao'er shook her mind for a while, and a large ink stain was smeared on the paper.

She crumpled the paper, took another piece of paper, and pondered the prescription.

Premature babies are weak, poorly absorbed, and immature in various organs, so the dosage should be small, the effect should be mild, and there should be no side effects.

This requires great care in the choice of drugs and dosages.

Su Bao'er changed it several times before she decided on the prescription.

Then it's all about making pills.

The pills are divided into honey pills and water pills, the difference is in the binder, the honey pills are honey, and the water pills are medicated with liquid or water.

Because babies are not suitable for taking honey, Su Baoer uses water pills.

The first step is to grind the powder, first cut the herbs into small pieces, and then put them into an iron medicine mill to grind into a fine powder.

"Sister, can I help you?"

Xiao Qiyan looked at the eldest sister with blank eyes.

Su Bao'er responded happily, the child was curious, and he didn't let him try, he always remembered.

In fact, grinding medicine requires three grinding and three screenings, which is a great test of physical strength and patience, and it is a chore.

After grinding twice, Xiao Qi shook his arm and asked puzzledly: "It's already very fine, why do you still grind?" ”

Su Bao'er explained: "The finer the medicine is ground, the easier it is to absorb. ”

Xiao Qi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and continued to rub.

The eldest sister said that medicinal materials are not easy to come by, and they should be allowed to exert their maximum effect.

Taking advantage of the grinding of the medicine, Su Baoer added water to decoction the medicinal herbs that were not suitable for powdering, so that she could enter the next step and start the mold without time difference.

The purpose of the mold is to make a medicine embryo, she brushes the medicinal juice on the bamboo sieve, sprinkles the medicine powder, and then keeps sifting, the medicine powder becomes wet and then brushed into small particles with a brush, which is the medicine embryo.

After that, the medicinal juice and powder were alternately added to the bamboo sieve to let the medicine embryo roll, and so on, and the medicine embryo gradually became a pill slightly larger than the sesame seeds.

Then cover the dough with dry powder, dry and bottle.

A small bottle is enough for the little girl of the Zhu family to eat for three months, enough to make up for the congenital lack.

"It's finally done!" Xiao Qi clapped his little hands, and his fleshy face was full of pride.

At first, Su Baoer thought that Xiao Qi came to help out of curiosity, but she didn't expect that the lively and active Xiao Qi had been accompanying her to complete all the processes.

So she shouldn't treat Xiao Qi as a little baby who doesn't understand anything.

"Want to study medicine?"

Xiao Qi nodded: "I want to save people like you and make others happy." ”

Goudan said that he was very scared when his mother had a difficult birth, and thanks to the eldest sister who saved his mother and sister, he and his family could continue to be happy.

He hopes that when his eldest sister is away, he can protect the people he loves.

"Studying medicine is a long and boring process, from then on you carry the weight of life on your shoulders, you can gain gratitude, but also be questioned, even blamed, are you sure to learn?"

Xiao Qi thought about it for a while before saying, "I don't know if I can hold on, but this is what I want most about now." ”

He is only five years old, and he still has a long future ahead of him, so there is no need to rush to make a decision.

Su Bao'er took out a book of Chinese medicine basics from the study.

"You have to memorize all the knowledge in it, I will test you in two years, if you answer well, I will teach you personally, you don't have to worry if you can't hold on, just take this experience as an attempt in life."

The book is not thick, only one knuckle thick, and it is not difficult to memorize it in two years.

The difficult thing is that Xiao Qi is enlightened, and he has to recognize all the words in two years.

Xiao Qi solemnly took the book with both hands, he would work very hard and try not to let the latter happen.

Su Bao'er told Xiao Qi about the general content of the book, so that he could arrange his study plan, and seeing that he was holding the book and refused to let go, she went to the hall with a knife.

What she cares about is not the joy of pearls, but the process of getting along with her family.

"Move me somewhere."

The junior and the fourth moved to the side, freeing up some thresholds for Bao'er to sit on.

"Bao'er, you're lucky, come and open a few big pearls." Xiao greeted.

"You must surpass the third brother, his tail is about to rise to the sky."

Xiao Sanzi shook Xiao Wu's face with water beads: "Good luck, others can't envy me, it's not me who blows, and the two of you together are not my opponents." ”

"Try it then."

Su Baoer responded to the battle, fished a river mussel from the basin of the third son, and killed it with a knife.

Su Lao Er hurriedly stopped: "Wait a while, I'll get you another pot." ”

It didn't take long for him to bring Su Bao'er a pot of large river mussels, because he felt that the pearls produced by the large mussels were of better quality.

Su Bao'er easily cut open the mussel and pulled out a thumb-sized purple pearl from it, round and flawless, this is the best quality pearl that has been opened.

"I have to come with my daughter."

Su Lao Er said with honor.

He's unlucky, he can't open a good one, but he has a daughter who is extremely lucky.

Su Bao'er's eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "That's also a clam picked by my father." ”

Su Lao Er smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, or how could he say that his daughter was intimate?

"It's not over yet, look at this!"

It's still a purple pearl, although it's a little smaller, but the quality is better than the one just now.

Zhang Lan was very excited, but then the pearl's movements were extremely careful: "I have never seen such a perfect pearl, it is still a rare purple, Bao'er, there is really you!" ”

"Third brother, the eldest sister can defeat you alone." Xiao Wu squeezed his eyebrows at Xiao Sanzi.

The third son of the little third son admits defeat: "Bow to the wind in the lower hand." ”

The benefits of a large number of people are evident when they are working, and when the sun sets in the west, all the mussels are blooming.

Freshwater mussels have a high pearl production rate, and they have taken out three basin pearls, which can be screened by Zhang Lan, and there are less than 200 pearls of good quality, most of which are white and cream, only five pink and three purple pearls, nearly 1,000 slightly flawed pearls, and the rest are special-shaped beads.

Xiao Shi looked at the crooked melon and cracked jujube-like pearls, and said regretfully: "These can't be sold, right?" ”

"Some of the shapes and lusters will also be made into jewelry, and the rest can be ground into pearl powder." Zhang Lan explained.

Knowing that the remaining pearls also had a place to go, Xiao went out with Li to share the mussel meat with confidence.

Villagers are more concerned about how many pearls they can produce than mussel meat.
