Chapter 205: Raw Gypsum Cooked Gypsum

"Hu Liang, he didn't say he didn't want to, that is, it's just ......" Cao Yunyun couldn't say clearly.

"Oh, my little aunt, you're a little smarter!"

The Wang family is most impatient with this little sister-in-law's grinding and chirping, but he can't show it yet.

Cao Yunyun herself was about to cry.

"This morning, a lady in our village went to the town to catch a market, and happened to pass by a spicy soup stall and greeted me. I was too busy greeting the guests to pay attention to it, but Brother Liangzi went over and chatted with her......"

Wang sat up straight all of a sudden: "What are they talking about?" Have you forgotten what your sister-in-law told you? ”

"I haven't forgotten...... As soon as they chatted, I put down the work in my hand, and when I got closer, I heard and heard that Brother Liangzi was looking for the eldest lady and inquiring about the affairs of the Lizheng family......"

"Did the old woman say anything?"

Cao Yunyun shook her head: "I didn't have time, I was diverted, and someone happened to settle the bill with him at that time......"

Wang patted Yuehun mouth: "That's good, that's good." ”

"But ......" Cao Yunyun bit her lip, "This time I also lost that the eldest lady is not from our south, she lives far away, and this matter has not been publicized yet, she doesn't know the inside story." If the news spreads, even if others don't ask the people in our village, they will take the initiative to go to the stall to see the excitement, right? ”

And...... Why did Hu Liang bypass her and find someone from Caojia Village?

Didn't he already tell him about the situation of Cao Lizheng's family, why did he have to ask someone to inquire?

Don't you believe her?

Cao Yunyun didn't dare to think deeply, she couldn't do it in a panic, so she was in a hurry to ask the Wang family for advice.

"What's so hard about this, it's worth your embarrassment." Wang didn't care, "I asked a few familiar mothers-in-law to go to the stall to sit, don't come forward, pretend to be unfamiliar, let Hu Liang inquire by himself, and make sure he can't find anything wrong." ”

Such...... It seems that it can also be.

Cao Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried.

"Sister-in-law, did you say that Brother Liangzi doubted me? There will always be a day when this matter can't be covered, as long as the younger sister marries, the Hu family will know everything......"

Cao Yunyun's tears that she had endured for a long time finally fell, and she began to regret it in her heart, she was a little confused about it.

Wang secretly rolled his eyes and turned his face, again with a bitter heart.

"Have you forgotten what your sister-in-law told you before? Sister-in-law is also thinking about you and Hu Liang...... Besides, we didn't tell all lies, at most half of the truth, which matchmaker is not like this? She is a widow's family, and her daughter can marry Lizheng's son, because the ancestor burned high incense, what else is there to pick up? I don't want to think about it, there is no one who is incomplete, and people can take a fancy to her? ”

Cao Yunyun remembered the pros and cons that Wang had analyzed for herself, and her regret faded, leaving only worry.

"Will Brother Liangzi be angry with me? What if he doesn't want me? ”

"As long as you do what your sister-in-law says, when the Hu family gets the dowry, you will quickly urge Hu Liang to do something and marry Hu Ximei before she goes out. When the incident happened, the raw rice was cooked in both times, and they still wanted to return it? If they dare, our old Cao family will go to their Dafeng Village to make trouble, who is afraid of whom! ”

After explaining, Wang comforted her again: "This is just in case, Hu Liang likes you to the heart, and the blind man can see it, why does he not want you?" Even if Widow Xie makes trouble with you, Hu Liang has to be on your side. When the new house is built, it's a big deal that you and Hu Liang will go out to live, and you're still afraid of her? You just have to find the opportunity to bring this up to him......"

Wang's words greatly soothed the uneasiness in Cao Yunyun's heart.

Yes, the favorite Ji is Widow Xie and Hu Ximei, and Brother Liangzi and Ji are not very close. He is the best for himself, he is willing to teach her everything, and he doesn't hide anything from her, so he will definitely not turn his face for others and her.

Cao Yunyun was relieved, and burst into laughter: "Sister-in-law, you are so good to me." ”

Wang's tone became more and more affectionate: "Silly girl, sister-in-law is not good to you, which one is good......

Ji appeared in Detang with Dabao, and Xin Ziqi was a little surprised.

"Dabao's feet are alright?"

"You watched it last time, and it was a slight sprain."

Ji saw that he was uncomfortable, and chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not here to force you to make an exception, but I do have something I want to ask you for help." ”

"You say." Xin Ziqi's tense expression relaxed slightly.

"Do you have any plaster in your store?" It's a kind of ...... Irregular lumps, grayish-white or yellowish in color, and some translucent. Soft, heavy, slight, light taste. Longitudinal mask silky luster ......"

Ji roughly described the characteristics of gypsum, and then added: "Or is it not called gypsum, it is called fine stone, cold water stone, or it may be called white tiger?" ”

Before, she copied a medical book called "Puji Fang" for the bookstore, which contained a prescription for treating children's body heat, called Qingwanzi.

It reads: "30 grams of fine stone, 3 grams of green daisy." The top is the end, and the cake paste is used as a pill, such as the round eye nucleus. Take one pill per serving, and dissolve the ...... with a soup of the light heart."

The fine stone here should refer to gypsum.

In the previous life, classics such as "Medicinal Signs", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Shennong's Materia Medica" all recorded the use of gypsum in medicine.

So gypsum shouldn't be difficult to find in Da Zhou, right?

Xin Ziqi thought for a moment: "You mean to use the cold water stone with your mother to clear away heat and trouble?" Other names are rare. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Ji nodded: "It can also be paired with mulberry leaves to clear lung fever; With cinnamon branches, the surface and the inside are double-solved; With Angelica angelica, it reduces swelling and relieves pain. It can also be used for non-convergence after collapse and long-term closure after trauma...... But I don't want raw plaster, I want cooked. It's a powder of raw gypsum calcined and finely ground, is there one? ”

Raw gypsum and cooked gypsum are actually produced together, and under certain conditions, they can also be converted into each other.

However, although they are the same substance, their medicinal value is completely different.

Raw gypsum is mostly used internally, which is mainly used to clear away heat and relieve fire, remove annoyance and quench thirst.

Plaster, that is, calcined gypsum, is mostly used externally, mainly for the treatment of dampness and muscle, sores and hemostasis.

Xin Ziqi shook his head: "This cold water ...... Although gypsum is a kind of medicinal material, there are many contraindications. People with weak spleen and stomach should be used with caution, and doctors rarely use it as medicine. ”

Ji was a little disappointed: "That's nothing?" ”

"It's not a rarity, how could it not? More than 20 prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty have fine stone minerals, among which Liaodong and our Guanbei have the most fine stone mines. But I don't have much to save in Yidetang, if you need it, I'll find some for you. ”

Ji turned from worry to joy, and hurriedly told him the dosage.

After thinking about it, he added, "I still need a few more herbs, and I'm going to trouble you all with them." ”

"No problem."

Ping An sent a pen and paper, and after Xin Ziqi wrote it down, he hesitated for a moment, but still asked the doubts in his heart.

"I didn't know much about this herb before, and this is the first time I've heard of the subdivision of raw and cooked...... Are you going to use it to heal the homeless man? Internally or externally? ”

"I'm looking for this, I really want to use it on the homeless, but it's neither internal nor external, but ......"

Ji deliberately stopped in the middle of speaking, and glanced at Xin Ziqi's curiosity, which he tried his best to suppress, but couldn't hide it.

He rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "In short, it is a usage that you have never seen before, and it is very helpful for patients who need surgery...... Anyway, you don't participate, it's useless to tell you, I still have something to do, I'll leave the matter of gypsum and medicinal herbs to you. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, ignoring the stunned words on Xin Ziqi's face, and pulled Dabao away.
