Chapter 61 Boiling Medicine in and Out of the Palace 2

This time, more than a dozen cauldrons were lit at the same time to boil the medicine. According to the prescription, first put the herbs using the rhizomes into the pot, boil them for a boil, then the stem part, wait for this part to boil for a boil, and finally the branches and leaves.

The light of the fire in the stove illuminated the clearing, and the smell of the rising heat changed little by little. The seeds and flowers of the herb are finally put into a cauldron. There was a hint of sweetness in the hot air. Yuqing also took advantage of the opportunity to put herbs into the pot again and again, and mixed a lot of herbs from the space supermarket pharmacy.

"Hey, the effect of the medicinal soup boiled out by the herbs in batches is really different."

"It turns out that this is what we are missing, old imperial doctor, your apprentice is not simple."

"Young people dare to think and have a lively brain, this is the advantage of being young. After accepting this little apprentice, I am so old that I am so worried that my beard and eyebrows are white. ”

"No wonder it is rumored that the apprentice is more skilled than the master's medical skills. Old imperial doctor, you are really lucky, if your brain is too active and causes some trouble, you master will not be able to carry it. ”

"That is, no matter how great the apprentice's ability is, it is also taught by the master. Old imperial doctor, this is still a medicinal soup, how can it be rubbed into a pill? ”

"Master Yuan, this is just the first step in making the pills, and the essence of the herbs is brought out by boiling and heating. The next step is to condense the medicinal properties of all the herbs, and this step is the most testing of boiling skills. Yuqing said without reservation.

"Hey, don't heat it too much now, but cook it slowly. You can't be lazy when turning the medicinal soup, otherwise you will be boiled. Lao Langzhong also added.

"Listen to my master, and change hands when you are tired. This last step is not in a hurry, and the pills made with just the right heat are fragrant. Otherwise, it is either bitter or completely pasted. Yuqing continued the master's words, and the little medicine boys who could only hear the turning of the medicinal soup trembled one by one and didn't dare to stop, but no matter how tired they were, no one replaced them. The imperial doctors all gathered around the pot to smell the smell, while noting down the steps and experiences just now.

It was almost midnight before more than a dozen pots of viscous medicinal soup were boiled.

"Lord of the courtyard, the people don't think they need to be kneaded into pills one by one, just divide each pot into pieces according to the amount of five pills."

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, you still have to rub some pills out. There are paper packs and cans for medicine in the hospital. Let's start rubbing the pills now. ”

"It's really greedy, this must be the idea of the dog emperor." Yuyu said.

"Let him be, without Miss Ben's hands, they will never be able to make a pill with much curative effect."

"Yes, the master has good news for you, your performance value is rising, and now the duck eggs are lined up in a long line, and the captain is constantly changing."

"That's a must, how can there be less zero behind the performance value of a concubine sister."

"Master, the ancients were too unhygienic, and they went to rub the pills without washing their hands."

"Hey, that little medicine boy, you have to wash your hands before you can rub the pills. And the pills must be weighed in advance to ensure that they are the same size. Before Yuqing could speak, Lao Langzhong said it first.

"Master, did you bring that gadget with us?"

"Apprentice, that's the master's treasure with you. Is that going to be used for them too? ”

"Master, it's just a little gadget with medicine, and the prescription is much more valuable than that." Yuqing said in a low voice, but many people heard it. It wasn't until Lao Langzhong and the master and apprentice took out the bamboo clip that these people couldn't help but sigh that this gadget was really wonderful.

Everyone was busy for another half an hour, and more than 100 pills were made. There are 6 in the small jar and 10 in the large jar. It is a notch higher than the original oil-paper packaging of Yuqing's master and apprentice.

A few cans of these pills were left at the head of the courtyard, and the rest were sent to the emperor.

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, how long can this pill be kept at most?" The head of the courtyard asked when he returned.

"Lord Courtyard, naturally, the longer it is preserved, the more medicinal properties will be lost. This is a targeted pill that is not used to treat ordinary headaches and brain fever. Even if there is such a large-scale epidemic, the source of the disease is not necessarily the corpse poison this time. Medical skills are important in the integration of knowledge, even the prescriptions of the ancestors should also be changed according to the actual situation of the patient. ”

"Lord Courtyard, my apprentice is right. This pill is to restrain the corpse poison, so patients with mild symptoms can be cured after taking one or two pills. It doesn't make much sense to keep this pill. ”

"Old Imperial Doctor, you are now shrewd in learning, no wonder you brought all the pills into the palace, and did not hesitate to donate the prescriptions." The head of the hospital was very disappointed, and he thought about it for a long time, but it turned out to be useless work.

"Lord of the Courtyard, don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Master, don't be angry. The rest of the ointment was weighed in proportion, and my master couldn't stay up late when he was old. The folk girl sent my master back to sleep. After Yuqing finished speaking, he helped Lao Langzhong back to the temporary resting place.

The next day, I was ready to boil medicine in the four areas of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the imperial city. The imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital were also divided into 4 groups, plus Lang Zhong in 4 areas. I have to say that the emperor was frightened by this plague, and he was eager to control this plague, on the one hand, to establish his prestige among the people.

"Your Majesty, we have done everything that our master and apprentice should do, and the medicinal soup in the four urban districts will be distributed, and we should also go back to the villa."

"Old Imperial Doctor, are you in such a hurry to go back because you don't have confidence in your medical skills or because of other reasons? The patients isolated in the cold palace have not yet recovered, and you master and apprentice cannot leave the palace. ”

"Your Majesty, the maiden and the master are all commoners, and they are used to living a free and easy life, which is the only reason why we want to return to the villa. As for the patients isolated in the cold palace, the imperial doctor of the hospital should listen to it and see for himself. Faith or not faith depends on the efficacy to speak. ”

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, go to the four cities to boil medicine and distribute it, you have to see the effect. Now that you've come to the palace, you might as well stay longer. The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said helplessly.

Yuqing and Lao Langzhong glanced at each other and knew that this was the result. This time it was just to test the emperor's tone, and he didn't expect the emperor to agree to let them out of the palace.

Still the old man is sitting in a carriage, and Yuqing is riding a big red horse. The emperor also sent a few personal guards to protect the master and apprentice, and the master and apprentice also understood that they were here to spy on people. Yuqing secretly sneered in his heart, which dish are these two rotten garlic dishes? After giving the master a reassuring look, he and the two guards on horseback left the palace and walked onto the streets of the imperial city.

The Imperial City is huge, and the middle area is the majestic Imperial Palace. The four urban districts of east, west, north and south surround the imperial palace, and Yuqing often walks through the Xicheng district. Yuqing was ready to use this opportunity to take a good look at the Imperial City.

"Little farmer, the most prosperous place in Dongcheng District is also the closest." A guard who looked not too old said to Yuqing when he left the palace.

"I see that the master's carriage has gone in the other direction, so let's go to Dongcheng to have a look." Yuqing was not difficult for these two guards, and followed the guard's words.

"Little farmer, I heard that you can also do some kung fu, and your big red horse looks good, so let's compare our feet." The other slightly older guard said very casually, in Yuqing's opinion, protecting himself was just a wonderful excuse, monitoring and exploration were true, and he couldn't help but despise the Dog Emperor even more in his heart.

"Born in troubled times, learning kung fu is also a means to save your life. As for Bibi's footsteps, to be honest, your two horses can't outrun my big red horse. The owner of the village rarely comes to the imperial city, so he takes the opportunity to take a good stroll. Yu Qing said without a city.

"Master, these two should be the personal guards of the Dog Emperor, and they are also two intelligence cylinders."

"Yuyu, of course I know your master, this has just come out, and slowly your master will know everything he wants to know."

"Little farmer, I'm worried that your horse won't be able to outrun us."

"It's just a means of transportation, and if the rider wants to make a fuss about the livestock, won't he be looked down upon. This Dongcheng District looks like a high-gate compound, and it must be all nobles. ”

"The little owner has good eyesight, most of the mansions in Donggui and Nanfu are the mansions of princes and princesses, and some are important ministers in the court."

"I'm afraid what Uncle Guard said is not true, just a few courtyards over there, it seems that no one lives anymore, and there are several courtyards on this side that should be being repaired." Yuqing said, pointing to several courtyards on both sides of the street.

"Little farmer, you don't understand this. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, here in Dongcheng, there is no one with a long family history. You see, the big courtyard in the distance has been abandoned for more than ten years. It is said that his former master was the god of war, and now he is not overgrown with artemisia grass. ”

"Really? The folk girl thought it was a wasteland. Yuqing looked at the yard in the distance, which had almost been buried by barren grass, and said in a flat tone. There was a storm in my heart, and it should be my father's home. I also have a thought in my heart, that is, to take advantage of the time I am still in the palace. Go to that yard and see where Dad used to live.

Not far from Dongcheng, I saw that several cauldrons had been erected on the side of the road. A few imperial doctors and a few Lang Zhong in the Tai Hospital were already ready to start boiling the medicinal soup. There are also soldiers who bang gongs along the street to inform people here to come out to receive medicinal soup.

Yuqing got off the horse and instructed not to forget to mix the pills into the medicinal soup, and the seeds and flowers of the herbs should be put into it last.

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, we remember." An imperial doctor said seriously that after seeing the method of boiling medicine last night in Lao Langzhong, his contempt for the master and apprentice was gone. It's also in Dongcheng, where nobles live, how dare you be perfunctory.

"Little farmer, if there is nothing else to tell them, we will go to Nancheng."

"It's okay, the owner of this village rarely comes to the imperial city, so take this opportunity to see where the nobles live, and then go to see where the rich live." Yuqing said very curiously, hearing that the two guards were amused, they were really rural village girls who had never seen the world. When she arrived in Nancheng, where the rich lived, she was told to go shopping.

"Little owner, why did you become a farmer at such a young age? Do the people in the Zhuangzi obey you? The older guard asked, he himself had a sister as old as the little owner, but he was still coquettish in front of his father and brother.

"Uncle Guard, it is also forced by the situation. The head of the house of the owner of the village is weak, and only a grandmother and two younger brothers are left. There were more than 1,000 corpses piled up in the villa, and the corpses were rotting and stinking. The owner of the village came up with a way to dispose of these corpses at the same time. That's why I became the owner of the village, and as for those villagers, it wasn't necessarily me, the young lady, but what I did for them. After becoming the owner of the village, don't look at the few people in the courtyard of the owner of the village, no one dares to bully us anymore. ”

"We've also heard about this, and now those corpses are directly burned in the Imperial City. It was the mass grave, and the emperor also let us set a fire to burn it. The first to get sick were those who burned the bodies. ”

"Yes, little farmer, is the smoke poisonous when the corpse is burned?"

"How can smoke drift away from the wind poison people? Could anyone have come close to smell the smoke? The disease was due to the failure to take protective measures when disposing of the corpse, and the failure to prescribe the right medicine after the illness. ”

"The little farmer is all wearing a face towel."

"At most, the face towel covers the face, but it cannot effectively isolate the sickness. We countrymen all wore masks in their face towels, otherwise how would Lang Zhong dare to diagnose those people? ”

"Masks?"

"It's something that covers your mouth and nose without affecting your breath." Yuqing said as she lifted the face towel to reveal the mask she was wearing inside.

"This is a mask, no wonder you and your master Langzhong dare to go to the cold palace to check the pulse of those who are dying. There is such a good thing, why didn't you say it earlier. ”

"Brother Guard, it's just a method that the countrymen came up with for fear of death. How could such a vulgar thing get into the eyes of your nobles? If you don't dislike it, there are a few more here in the village ready to replace the unused ones. ”

"Little farmer, how can we dislike something that can save our lives. Who is not afraid of death? The two guards hurriedly took the mask and hurriedly put it on, and they already had a good impression of this little owner in their hearts. I'm a little unimpressed with the mission I carried.,It's just a country girl who doesn't want to see the world.。

The southern part of the city is about the same size as the eastern part of the city, and the courtyards here are dense. The shops on the main street, one by one. It is said that Nancheng Fu can be seen from these shops. It's just that most of these shops are now closed, and those who open have almost no business to do.

The rich places are also so depressed, it seems that this plague really cannot be ignored. Just then, there was a cry from the back of a shop. Even if I can't hear it clearly, I know that it's not a good thing.

"Master, an old woman died in that courtyard, and you have another chance to earn performance value." Yuyu said in her divine sense.
