Chapter 043: Three Flavor Medicinal Materials
The courtyard was empty, and the woman's pleasant voice came into the house.
Li Jingmo was playing with a fine white-glazed tea cup in his hand, stopped when he heard the sound, and only put down his things and got up after a while.
Zhao Fuling saw him appear, so she stepped forward and said, "Du Gongzi, I brought the three-flavor medicinal materials you wanted." ”
Li Jingmo's heart moved, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "Have you brought it all?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Fuling explained, "But I don't know the medicinal materials, and I don't know whether they are true or false, so I have to check one or two by Du Gongzi himself." ”
Li Jingmo nodded when he heard this, turned around and entered the room first.
"Concubine Zhao come in!"
Zhao Lingling followed in and sat down opposite Li Jingmo.
The setting sun was dim, and a few rays of light pierced through the window lattice, leaving mottled shadows on the dilapidated wooden table.
Li Jingmo sat at the table, his dark robe seemed to melt into the shadows, making people look unreal.
Zhao Fuling pushed the three packets of medicinal herbs in front of him, raised his eyes and looked at them, before turning his head to look to the side.
Near the edge of the table, there is a jade-white tea bowl. The appearance is not big, the whole body is clear and beautiful, not like a tea set, more like a delicate ornament.
But Zhao Fuling knows that the precious utensils that appear in this era, either porcelain or jade, are all expensive luxury goods without exception.
Luxury...... I don't know how much it can be worth to sell it to the mall?
Zhao Fuling glanced at it a few times and then withdrew her gaze.
Li Jingmo had already opened the first package of medicinal herbs, he picked up one of them, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, and then took another bite gently.
Zhao Fuling waited for a moment and listened to him speak: "The taste is strong and astringent, and the medicinal materials are true, but the year is not long." Bother Zhao Concubine Niangniang to help take a look, is there yellowing at the edge of the rhizome? ”
Zhao Fuling took the piece in his hand and observed it carefully for a while before nodding and saying, "Yes, the color is relatively dark." ”
Li Jingmo said: "It should be that the medicinal materials have not been properly handled, and the medicinal properties have lost fifty percent." ”
Zhao Fuling frowned: "Can't you use it?" ”
"It works." Li Jingmo put the pill back and said warmly, "It's just that the effect of the medicine is not good, and the dosage needs to be increased." However, the amount of medicinal materials brought by Concubine Zhao was quite large, which was enough to fill these gaps. ”
Zhao Fuling was relieved.
She reached out for the second pack: "Du Gongzi will take a look at this ...... again"
Before he finished speaking, the hand that was pressed on the medicine package was pinched by Li Jingmo's outstretched fingertips.
At first glance, the two were stunned on the spot.
Li Jingmo's hands are slender, the bones are distinct, and the back of the hand is cold white and blue, showing a light and sickly state. There is a little coolness in the fingertips, and there is a thin cocoon that can only be born by those who practice martial arts.
In comparison, Zhao Fuling's hands are exceptionally soft and white, like fine precious soft satin.
Li Jingmo's fingertips moved unconsciously, but Zhao Fuling retracted his hand like an electric shock.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
Both spoke at the same time, and were silent at the same time.
Li Jingmo's good-looking lips pursed slightly, and his back tightened a little.
The two packets of medicinal herbs rested quietly on the table, and no one spoke again.
The atmosphere was suddenly delicate, and Rao is Zhao Fuling was big-hearted, and she was also a little uncomfortable. She sat for a few seconds, then simply got up: "I seem to hear Ying Qi's voice, Du Gongzi is busy first, I'll go out and have a look." ”
After making an excuse, she quickly turned and walked out of the house.
The dress flew up, driving a wisp of breeze, as if there was a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs.
Li Jingmo sat up straight without a trace, and waited for Zhao Fuling to go out before raising his hand and reaching for the second package of medicinal herbs again.
The soft and delicate touch on his fingertips seemed to remain, making him inexplicably a little distracted. When the tip of his tongue touched the damp bitter taste of the herbs, he straightened his mind.
Fake herbs.
Li Jingmo frowned lightly, took out a large handful from the package of medicinal materials, and after trying them one by one, he finally determined that these medicinal materials were basically fake.
There are eight taels in a pound mixed with other things.
Eating can't kill people, but it doesn't have any effect.
He set the packet aside and checked the third.
But Li Jingmo didn't expect that this third pack was an eye-opener for him.
When you take something out, it doesn't feel right. It's a little soft and glutinous, but it can't be torn or bitten, and it even smells a little pungent.
It has nothing to do with medicinal herbs at all.
Li Jingmo's eyebrows were raised, and he wiped his hands and got up after a while.
"Concubine Zhao." He spoke softly.
Zhao Fuling was standing under the eaves counting the birds flying by, and when she heard the sound, she turned around, and happened to see Li Jingmo's blind-covered Su Aya, which was loose and suddenly fell down.
