Chapter 181: The Secret of Snow
Before Zhu Xian came back, Cao Zhijin dropped two drops of special potion into the water, washed the makeup on his face, and then used the disguised medicine to re-transform into the appearance of Wen Jin, and finally returned to the bed and lay down.
After a while, Zhu Xian pushed open the door and walked in.
She pushed the door open, and as soon as the crack opened, the wind outside drifted in with snow.
"It's snowing again?" Cao Zhijin looked at the sky outside and Zhu Xian from the crack in the door and said.
Zhu Xian stood an oil-paper umbrella with a thin layer of snowflakes at the base of the wall, took out three medicine bags from the cloak and put them on the table, and then took the cloak off his body and shook it, and hung it on Cao Zhijin's hanger.
"Isn't it, it's been intermittent for the past few days, and it hasn't really stopped, and if you go out to see the snow outside, you'll be surprised!"
"What's wrong?" Cao Zhijin asked.
Zhu Xian waved his hand and said: "I can't see anything, I don't know the depth when I step on it, and the footprints are filled by snow just after stepping out!"
Cao Zhijin couldn't help but sigh: "This year's snow is indeed more violent than in previous years!"
Zhu Xian smiled again: "But this snow is falling heavily, maybe it's a good sign!"
Cao Zhijin looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Zhu Xian walked to the table and said while unpacking the three packets of paper in turn, "Didn't you feel particularly quiet when you came back from your master's residence the night before yesterday?"
Cao Zhijin thought about it, there is!
"What's this, what day is not quiet where the master lives?" Cao Zhijin didn't understand what she meant.
Zhu Xian insisted and said: "Of course there is, when it is windy and rainy!"
She suddenly approached Cao Zhijin and said faintly: "At that time, haven't you heard that there are always strange sounds near the master's yard, miserable and gloomy?"
"The maids who have been here before have said that it is because the yin qi of this Qinxiangyuan is too heavy, and it is usually nothing when the sun is shining, but when it is windy and rainy, the yin qi is even heavier, and some evil things will take the opportunity to come out and make trouble!"
As soon as she said this, Cao Zhijin remembered that the place where she felt something was wrong the night before yesterday was that Qinxiangyuan was very quiet!
Cao Zhijin asked her, "What do you mean when you say that heavy snow is a good sign?"
Zhu Xian replied: "I have lived here for seven years, and every year after the heavy snowfall, no matter how it blows and rains, Qinxiangyuan no longer has that weird sound!"
Cao Zhijin did not speak.
Zhu Xian retracted his neck and smiled: "Didn't you say that you are not afraid?"
Cao Zhijin smiled: "I'm just thinking about things."
Why does the snow stop that strange sound?
Zhu Xian sighed and said: "But to be honest, this snow is also too heavy, burying all the roads, and it takes a lot of effort to turn around and eradicate a road that can be walked!"
Bury all the roads?
When Cao Zhijin heard this, a spiritual light quickly flashed through his mind.
That's right, in addition to being cold and good-looking, snow also has this effect!
Cao Zhijin laughed, which would explain why there was such a strange sound when it was windy and rainy!
Zhu Xian shook his hand in front of Cao Zhijin: "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Cao Zhijin came back to his senses, looked at the paper bag on the table and said, "Two taels of Tianxing grass, five taels of Tianxiang beans, and two taels of pearl fruit."
Speaking of which herb, she pointed to the paper packet.
Zhu Xian sighed and said, "I knew that I came here with a small scale, how do I know how much two taels are?"
Cao Zhijin beckoned to her and said, "You bring the three paper bags."
Zhu Xian walked up to her with three paper bags, only to see Cao Zhijin remove the outer layer of paper from one of the paper bags and spread it on the low table next to the bed, and grabbed three handfuls of the three paper bags in turn and put them on the paper on the table, clapped his palms and said, "Okay!"
Zhu Xian squatted down and looked at the medicinal materials on the paper up close, and exclaimed: "Wen Jin, I know that your medical skills are amazing, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you can test the medicinal materials with your bare hands, this is too godly!"
Cao Zhijin smiled: "Practice makes perfect, nothing!"
"By the way, I haven't asked you what these herbs are for!" Zhu Xian stood up and put back the three paper bags in his hand.
Cao Zhijin replied: "Do snow condensation, snow condensation has the effect of eliminating soreness."
"And this medicine?" Zhu Xian asked in surprise, "What should I do?" ”
Cao Zhijin pointed to Tianxiang beans and said: "First peel the Tianxiang beans, then grind them into powder, then mash the Tianxing grass and pearl fruit into a puree and mix them with the Tianxiang bean powder, add water and put them in a jar and boil them into a paste on the fire!"
Zhu Xian made a pause gesture for her: "You slow down, I'm quite dizzy!"
Cao Zhijin said with a smile: "Let's grind Tianxiang beans first, Tianxiang beans are the most important step in making Ningxue, if Tianxiang Beans are not ground well, even if the snow is made, the first color will not be good, and the second medicinal effect will not achieve the expected effect!"
She glanced at the low table, "There is a small grinding plate in the wooden box under the low table, you can open it and take a look."
Zhu Xian squatted down, took out the wooden box from under the low table and opened it, and sure enough, he saw that there were many pharmaceutical tools inside, the most conspicuous being a palm-sized manual grinding disc.
Its stone color is deep, the materials are extraordinary, and the grinding disc is carved with exquisite relief skills with skillful carving skills!
This grinding disc is very labor-saving to use, and I don't know how many times faster than pure manual grinding!
Cao Zhijin is very satisfied with this grinding disc, I have to say that the efficiency of Chenwangfu is really high, since she has this grinding disc, grinding medicine has saved a lot of time and effort!
At noon, Zhu Xian finally ground the Tianxiang beans.
Looking at the shallow cup of powder in the teacup, she breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time had to sigh that the doctor is not so good!
"Okay, I'll go cook for the master first, you wait for me obediently!" Zhu Xian put down the teacup, hurriedly took the cloak and oil-paper umbrella, and ran out.
Cao Zhijin walked over and smashed the Tianxing Grass and Pearl Fruit respectively......
When Zhu Xian came to Cao Zhijin's courtyard with a food box, he saw Cao Zhijin looking at her with a smile on the bed, and there was a pot-bellied white porcelain jar on the table.
"What is this? Why is the fragrant bean powder on my desk missing? Zhu Xian put down the food box, picked up the bottle on the table, looked at Cao Zhijin and asked.
Cao Zhijin smiled: "I've done it, help me apply the medicine!"
Zhu Xian shook his head: "Didn't you let you rest obediently?"
Although she said so, she still walked over with Ning Xue.
Cao Zhijin untied her clothes and lay face down, and Zhu Xian suspiciously applied the medicine in the jar to her body.
"How long does it take to apply this medicine to be useful?"
Cao Zhijin turned his face and looked at her confidently and smiled: "You can try it yourself!"
As she spoke, she pointed to Zhu Xian's right arm.
Zhu Xian subconsciously retracted her arm, it was freezing outside, so cold that people were about to lose consciousness, she left her hand outside and carried the food box, and if she couldn't go far, she would lose her strength and couldn't lift the food box, so she carried the food box on her arm before going out.
At this moment, her right arm is sore and swollen!
