Chapter Fifty-Seven: Refining Medicine is Not Simple
In traditional Chinese medicine, Polygonum multiflorum is divided into raw Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonum multiflorum multiflori, and different processing methods make Polygonum multiflori, which is obviously the same raw material, have different effects.
To prepare raw Polygonum multiflori, you need to pick out the impurities, wash it, soak it in water until it is eighty percent thorough, then take it out, moisten it until the internal and external humidity is uniform, slice or cut it into cubes, and finally dry it in the sun.
What Lin Luoran needs this time is to make Shou Wu, she washed He Shou Wu, then put it in black bean juice, rice wine, and milk, mixed well, put it in a clay pot and steamed it through water, and always inhaled all the rice wine and black bean juice into He Shou Wu, scooped it up and dried it, and then it was finished.
Hearing that the gift that Lin Luoran was going to give herself was a pill she had refined herself, Wang Miao'e ran to see it a few times curiously, but was confused by Lin Luoran's nine steamed and nine dried He Shou Wu.
Although she couldn't understand what pill she was going to refine, seeing that the process was so troublesome, Wang Miao'e was full of gratitude before she received the gift.
It just so happened that at this time, the original stone that Lin Luoran had returned from taking Liu's hitchhiker had also arrived, so Wang Miao'e bought all the tools to understand the stone and gave it to Lin Luoran as a gift in return.
There was originally a basement under the embroidery building, Wang Miao'e knew when she was a child, it seems that Jiafu used to hide gold and silver, and was later changed into a practice room by Mr. Jia.
As the current owner of the house, Lin Luoran was ashamed that he didn't know Wang Miao'e clearly, while directing people to move all the tools into the basement, and when it was inconvenient in the future, he could also hide in it to solve stones and cultivate.
The nine steaming and nine drying of He Shou Wu should be spread in a casserole with black beans, steamed with a traditional Chinese cooking tool, steamed until the black beans are fully cooked, and then the ripe beans are taken out, dried in the sun, and then re-covered with fresh beans, and this procedure is repeated.
Fortunately, the traditional stove in the backyard is still preserved, otherwise a separate stove would have to be built.
Steamed until the seventh time, take the seedlings soaked in wine before and steam it together, until the ninth time of steaming and drying, it is very wonderful, He Shou Wu does not need to be pounded and cracked, and it has become a powder with uniform particles.
When all the medicinal materials were ready, Lin Luoran found another stone mortar and pounded all kinds of medicinal materials into powder. It's not that she's hypocritical, but it's clearly stated in the recipe that iron tools are taboo when concocting...... Chinese medicine is amazing.
Lin's father and Lin mother were all watching the excitement, Lin Luodong stared at Lin Luoran's movements without blinking, and when Lin Luoran used honey to condense the medicinal powder into a honey pill, Lin Luodong stared at the brown honey pill and swallowed his saliva, his eyes were shining:
"Chocolate?"
This round and fragrant brown honey pill really looks like a chocolate bean, if it weren't for Lin Luoran's clear eyes, seeing the honey pill condensed from various medicinal powders, the aura was actually skillfully fused together, all kinds of medicinal properties are stable and peaceful, not conflicting, but exuding a spirituality that ordinary Chinese medicine will definitely not have, she suspects that what she has spent a lot of effort refining is actually chocolate beans.
"Girl, what kind of pill are you getting here, can you really take it?" Mother Lin twisted up a honey pill, except for a special medicinal fragrance, she couldn't see any doorway.
Lin Luoran took the customized porcelain bottles one by one, honey pills larger than soybeans, and this time he refined a total of four small bottles, each bottle was about a hundred.
After loading the honey pill, he said to Mother Lin: "Of course it works, isn't this refined according to my family's book?" By the way, Dad, where's my medicine book? ”
Lin Luoran's family is poor, but there are also two heirlooms, one is a bracelet, and the other is a broken medicine book, only the first half, many words are also moth-eaten, Lin Luoran followed Uncle Li to learn calligraphy when he was a child, and he had no money to buy a calligraphy, so he opened the medicine book, practiced and wrote repeatedly according to a recipe, resulting in remembering every word clearly - it was the honey pill recipe she refined today.
The name of the honey pill is very vulgar and earthy, called "jade skin pill", as the name suggests, it is mostly used for women's beauty. Lin Luoran dared to use the rather precious He Shou Wu planted in the space to refine this medicine, which was naturally the prescription on the medicine book that she and firmly believed - it should be said that she believed it even more after getting the bead space, after all, the medicine book was also passed down by Lin Luoran's ancestors.
Lin Luoran's book of broken medicine, only the first half, is still tattered, but it made Lin Dad, an honest farmer, learn to identify many medicinal materials, when he was sick when he was a child, he also followed what was written above, and he just dug up some herbal decoctions and drank them, which were generally effective in one dose, and the treatment of minor illnesses was very miraculous.
Now that I think about it, maybe that's a treasure too, right? It's just a pity that the lower part is missing......
When Dad Lin heard his daughter asking, he scratched his head, "Don't say it, I forgot it, I came in a hurry that day, and I forgot the medicine book at home, and I want to go back to get it another day, which is handed down by the ancestors of the Lin family." ”
Hearing that he was going back to Lijia Village, Lin Luoran couldn't help frowning, and didn't want to ask Lin's father and mother to go back alone, so he smiled and said, "It's too hard to ask you to go back and take a car, why don't I drive back another day and get it." ”
This "Jade Skin Pill" is full of aura and the medicinal fragrance is attractive, and the whole process is used to take the spring water of the space, and most of them are medicinal materials planted in the space, Lin Luoran feels that the effect may not be just what the prescription says, looking at the parents who originally had gray hair and have recently aged slightly under the action of space vegetables and spring water, Lin Luoran pushed the two bottles of Jade Skin Pill to Lin Dad and Lin Mom.
Mother Lin is skeptical, she doesn't believe that eating this thing can make people young, and Dad Lin is cowardly and reluctant to eat this kind of woman's things.
Lin Luoran was speechless, his parents were still old-fashioned, although he told them about the space, but the space could only go in by himself, and he couldn't take them in to watch it in person, Lin Luoran didn't produce much when he started to cultivate, and the second elder inevitably stuck to his prejudices, always thinking that his daughter was still an ordinary girl under Chenghuan's knees in the past, and he didn't understand Lin Luoran, a rookie monk, in fact, he also had some means.
Lin Luoran couldn't, fortunately, a few days ago, he was finally able to command the aura that was walking around in his body, and he immediately mobilized a trace of aura, condensed it into a thin aura rope, forced it out of his body, and gently picked off a leaf that fell on Lin Ma's head.
Seeing that the leaves were windless and automatic, and they were still circling around the two of them very regularly, Lin Ma Lin and Lin Dad finally reacted, their own daughter was already the foundation of some fairy Gu - conjured a lot of delicious vegetables out of thin air, the appearance of the person changed greatly, and he could refine medicine, and he would also command the leaves to dance, what is this not a fairy method?
Seeing that the second elder finally accepted the jade skin pill, Lin Luoran breathed a sigh of relief, and easily put the remaining two bottles into the space, and turned his head to see Xiao Luodong staring at her curiously, with a thoughtful expression.
Looking at Lin Luodong, who looked serious, Lin Luoran smiled, it is estimated that in the eyes of children, it is very interesting to suddenly change things into nothing, right?
Luo Dong is also a member of the Lin family, is it time to find a time, and it is time for him to give him a spiritual enlightenment education?
Thinking that he was also a half-ass, Lin Luoran was a little hesitant about this idea.
