Chapter 330: Making Honey Pills
Before Huang Yiyun planned to make pills, he consulted the shopkeeper Xu of Yirentang in the town.
Generally, there are two types of pill making.
A honey pill, a water pan pill.
Honey pills are made by mixing honey with medicinal powder.
Water pan pills need to be made with water or medicinal juice as a binder, placed in a dustpan, and constantly rotated to make water pan pills.
Both pills have their own merits.
The biggest difficulty is that if you want to make a water pill, it takes too much time, too difficult, too difficult, and too tiring.
Honey pills need to be chewed, not suitable for comatose patients, and are simple, fast and quick to make.
However, because the time is too late, Huang Yiyun's plan today is to make honey pills.
"Okay, you guys go wash your hands, and I'll come over later to help the eldest sister make pills." Huang Yiyun saw that the medicinal powder was ready, and began to move.
The iron stove under the eaves was already lit, and a small iron pot was placed beside it.
Huang Yiyun first put the honey in a small iron pot, boiled the honey with a martial fire first, and then slowly boiled it with a simmer until the honey was yellowed and foamed.
The ratio of powder to honey is about 1:1 or 1:15.
It's just that the medicinal herb grinding powder that Huang Yiyun bought before had a part of the loss, and the active ingredients had to be picked out from these medicinal materials.
The powder picked out of each medicinal herb is only about two taels.
Two taels or so of powder, too little, made into honey pills is a little difficult to control the bees added to it.
This little medicinal powder, made into honey pills, is probably only about ten to thirteen grains.
Huang Yiyun first added a small amount of bees into it, mixed it evenly with chopsticks, and continued to add some honey if there was less honey.
After mixing evenly, dip some lard on your hands, and continue to knead, kneading almost the strips.
Rolled into strips, Huang Yiyun began to cut into balls according to the size.
The second sister had already received Huang Yiyun's order, and rubbed some oil on the palms of their hands, so that kneading the pills in this way would make the pills smooth and bright while not touching their palms.
Wait until it is kneaded into a ball, put it aside, wait for it to cool and harden, wrap it in wax paper, and store it in a cool and dry place.
When it's time to eat, just tear off the wax paper and you'll be able to eat it.
All four powders are made into pills, and each one is made in the shape of a little more than 10 pills.
These honey pills made by Huang Yiyun today, Huang Yiyun planned to take Li Wei to the capital for emergency use or backup.
Antipyretic pills, hemostatic pills, anti-inflammatory pills, and painkiller pills, the active ingredients in them were picked out by Huang Yiyun.
Originally, the hemostatic pill was directly ground into powder, which could be used for external hemostasis, but there was not much powder ground, so Huang Yiyun had to make it all for internal use.
After doing this, Huang Yiyun plans to make a batch of honey pills.
The first is to leave by yourself and stay at home for backup, and the second is to go to the capital by yourself, and you have to bring some on the way.
The next time it is made into pills, not only must it be made into honey pills, but also a batch of water pan pills must be made.
Fortunately, the second sister is fine at home, not sewing or mending, just to give herself a hand.
Therefore, today Huang Yiyun bought a pound of each medicinal material from the pharmacy in the town and came back for the second sister to deal with.
Fortunately, these things are simple and easy to do, and they are not technical work, and the second sister can do them.
.......。
On the second day, outside the gate of the county seat, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages stopped outside.
It was Li Wei's family, Xu Qingyun, Zeng Shijie, and their servants and guards who were about to leave for the capital to take the exam.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, so I didn't delay your departure!" Huang Congjiang drove Huang Yiyun to the outside of the county in a carriage, and saw that Li Wei and his three families were already waiting outside the city, Huang Yiyun got out of the carriage and first went to greet Li Wei's grandmother and parents, Huang Yiyun came to Li Wei and the three of them in a hurry, Huang Yiyun said apologetically on his face.
"Sister-in-law is not in a hurry, it's not time to leave yet? There are still two quarters of an hour to go, what does my sister-in-law have to say, and can I talk to Brother Wei slowly? Xu Qingyun joked with Huang Yiyun and Li Wei.
"There's nothing to whisper to avoid people, anyway, it's not that you can't see each other, if the two of them are long, how can they be in the morning and twilight.
Oh! By the way, this is the pill I made, you bring it to the capital for backup, I wrote the efficacy on it, if it corresponds to the symptoms, you can look at it and take it.
However, the pills I made worked wonders for some of the symptoms, and they were much better than the pills made by other people. Huang Yiyun took out the four pills he had made before, and glanced at Li Weidao.
She didn't feel embarrassed at all about Xu Qingyun's jokes.
On the contrary, if her sentence was a long time for the two of them, how could they be the dog food on Xu Qingyun's face in the twilight.
"Okay, I see." Li Wei took the wooden armor handed over by Huang Yiyun, his eyes were soft, and he looked at Huang Yiyun quietly.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it afraid that Brother Wei will go to the capital of the flower world and fall in love with other women, empathize and don't fall in love?" Xu Qingyun couldn't get used to Li Wei's tenderness and wantonness, there was no one else in his eyes, he was a single dog, and he sprinkled dog food, and he suddenly received 10,000 critical hits, and he was immediately unhappy.
"I'm not bad, if he abandons me first, I may not find a better man than him! What's more, I believe in Him. Of course, if you don't have a happy woman, you naturally don't know what it tastes like. "The two of them have traveled here from modern times. He and she not only experienced life and death, but also experienced two parallel time and space, which are even more precious than those who see the truth in adversity.
"Gah!" Xu Qingyun received a 10,000-point critical hit again, the folding fan in his hand was shaken, and he looked like he didn't want to see the two of you.
"Brother Xu, Brother Wei is cold, although he usually doesn't like to talk, but you begged for a bargain in Brother Wei's mouth that time, and the woman that Brother Wei can look at can be easy." Zeng Shijie saw that Xu Qingyun was deflated one after another, and he gloated a little.
"This time I went to Beijing to catch the exam, you can be sure." Huang Yiyun thought of this.
"There are countless scholars in the world, and there are a lot of talents, and it is also necessary to know that there are people outside the world, and if you are sure, this self-confidence is naturally there, but whether you can win it, seven points to see the strength, three points to see luck." Zeng Shijie shook the folding fan in his hand and said lightly.
"Do your best and don't let yourself regret it." After they talked for a while, it was not early, and they needed to leave for Beijing.
"Be careful on the road, have a safe journey."
