Chapter Sixty-One Busy Boiling Medicine Inside and Outside the Palace 2

This time, more than a dozen large pots were set on fire at the same time to boil the medicine. According to the prescription, the rhizomes of the herbs were first put into the pot, and after boiling, the stems were boiled, and then the stems were boiled again.

Boiling, and finally the branches and leaves.

The fire in the stove illuminated the open space, and the smell of the rising heat also changed little by little. The seeds and flowers of the herbs were finally put into the cauldron. There was actually a hint of sweet flavor in the curling heat.

Yuqing also took advantage of the opportunity of adding herbs to the pot again and again to mix in a lot of herbs from the space supermarket pharmacy.

"Hey, the effect of adding the herbs in batches to make the medicinal soup is really different."

"It turns out that this is where we are lacking, old imperial doctor, you are not an easy apprentice."

"Young people can think big and have vivid minds. This is the advantage of being young. After accepting this young apprentice, I have become much more worried. My beard and eyebrows have turned gray with worry."

"No wonder there are rumors that the apprentice's medical skills are better than the master's. Old doctor, you are really lucky. If you are too clever and cause some trouble, you, the master, will have to take care of it."

"That's right, no matter how talented the apprentice is, it is only because of the master's teachings. Old doctor, this is still medicinal soup, how can it be made into pills?"

"Master, this is just the first step in making pills. The essence of the herbs is stimulated by boiling and heating. The next step is to condense the medicinal properties of all the herbs. This step is the most testing of the cooking skills."

Yuqing said without reservation.

"Hey, don't make the heat too high now, just simmer it slowly and carefully. Don't be lazy when stirring the medicinal soup, otherwise it will be mushy." The old doctor also added.

"I obey my master's instructions. When I'm tired, I change hands. I don't have to rush this last step. When the heat is just right, the pills will be fragrant. Otherwise, they will either taste bitter or completely turn into crispy rice balls." Yu Qing

Then the master's words were heard, and the little medicine boys who were stirring the medicine soup were all too scared to stop. No matter how tired they were, there was no one to replace them. The doctors all gathered around the pot to smell the smell, and wrote down the steps and steps just now.

Experience.

It was almost midnight? It took more than a dozen pots of thick medicinal soup to be cooked.

"Sir, the president of the hospital, I think it is not necessary to roll the pills into pills one by one. Each pot can be divided into pieces according to the weight of five pills."

"Master Ye Xiaozhu, you still need to roll some of the pills out. The paper wrapping the medicine and the jars containing the medicine are all available in the hospital. Let's start rolling the pills now."

"It's really greedy. This must be the Dog Emperor's idea." Yuyu said.

"Let it go. Without my help, they will never be able to make pills with great efficacy."

"Yes, the master has a good news for you. Your performance value has been rising sharply. Now there is a long queue of duck eggs, and the team leader is constantly changing."

"That is necessary. How can there be less zero after the performance value of a noble concubine sister?"

"Master, the ancients were very unhygienic. They rubbed pills without washing their hands."

"Hey, that little medicine boy, you need to wash your hands before you can roll the pills. And you have to weigh the pills in advance to ensure that they are the same size." Before Yuqing could say anything, the old doctor said it first.

"Master, have you brought our gadget?"

"Apprentice, that is the master's treasure that he carries with him. Do you want to give that to them too?"

"Master, it's just a small thing for holding medicine. The prescription is much more valuable than that." Yuqing said in a low voice, but many people heard it. Until the old doctor and the master and apprentice took the bamboo clip

Coming out, these people couldn't help but sigh that this little tool is really wonderful.

Everyone was busy for another half an hour, and more than 100 pills were made. There were 6 pills in the small jar and 10 pills in the large jar. It was a step up from the original oil paper packaging of Yuqing and his apprentices.

A few jars of these pills were kept at the hospital, and the rest were sent to the emperor.

"Master Ye Xiaozhu, how long can this pill be kept at most?" the head of the hospital asked when he came back.

"Master, the longer it is stored, 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 again, the source of the disease may not necessarily be the same.

This time, corpse poison and medical skills are all important to master, and even the ancestors' prescriptions must be changed according to the actual situation of the patient."

"Master, my disciple is right. These pills are designed to suppress corpse poison, so patients with mild symptoms will be cured after taking the medicine once or twice. There is not much point in keeping this pill."

"Old imperial doctor, you are now smart in your studies. No wonder you brought all the pills into the palace and gave out the prescriptions without hesitation." The head of the hospital was very disappointed. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally found out.

It turned out that it was all in vain.

"Master, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Master, don't be angry. Just weigh the remaining ointment according to the proportion. My master is too old to stay up late. The girl sent my master back to sleep."

After Yuqing finished speaking, he helped the old doctor back to the temporary resting place.

The next day, preparations were made to boil medicine in the four areas of the imperial city. The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were also divided into four groups, plus doctors from the four areas. It must be said that the emperor was attracted by this scene.

They were frightened by the plague, and they were eager to control it, and on the one hand, they established their prestige among the people.

"Your Majesty, we masters and disciples have done everything we should do. After distributing the medicinal soup in the four districts, it's time for us to return to the villa."

"Old imperial doctor, are you so anxious to go back because you don't have confidence in your medical skills or is it for other reasons? The patients isolated in the cold palace have not recovered yet, so you two masters and apprentices cannot leave the palace."

"Your Majesty, the daughter of the common people and the master are all common people who are used to living a free life. This is the only reason why we want to return to the villa. As for the patients isolated in the cold palace, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital need to go and listen to them personally.

Let’s see. Whether you have confidence or not depends on the efficacy.”

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, go to Sicheng District to prepare medicine and distribute it. You have to see the effect. Since you have come to the palace, you might as well stay a little longer." The emperor's face darkened and he said helplessly.

Yuqing and Lao Langzhong looked at each other and knew that this was the result. This time they were just testing the emperor's tone, and did not expect that the emperor would agree to let them out of the palace.

The old doctor was still riding in the carriage, and Yuqing was riding the big red horse. The emperor also sent a few personal guards to protect the master and the apprentice. Both master and apprentice understood each other that they were here to monitor people. Yuqing sneered secretly in his heart, and

Which dish do these two pieces of rotten garlic count for? He gave the master a reassuring look, then left the palace with the two mounted guards and walked onto the streets of the imperial city.

The Imperial City is very large, with the majestic Imperial Palace in the middle area. Four urban districts, east, west, north and south, surround the Imperial Palace. Yuqing often visits the Xicheng District. Yuqing plans to use this opportunity to take a good look at the Imperial City.

"Little owner, Dongcheng District is the most prosperous place for brewing medicine." A guard who didn't look too old said to Yuqing after leaving the palace.

"I see that Master and his carriage have gone in another direction. Let's go to Dongcheng to have a look." Yuqing didn't have any trouble with the two guards and followed the guards' words.

"Little owner, I heard that you also know some kung fu, and your big red horse looks pretty good, so let's compare our feet." Another slightly older guard said casually, looking at Yu Qing

It's just a wonderful excuse to protect myself. Surveillance and exploration are real. I can't help but despise the Dog Emperor even more in my heart.

"In troubled times, learning boxing and kicking skills is also a way to save your life. As for comparing footwork, to be honest, your two horses can't outrun my big red horse. The owner of this village rarely comes to the imperial city, so I'd like to take the opportunity to take a walk.

." Yu Qing said without a care in the world.

"Master, these two should be the Dog Emperor's personal guards, and they are also two information tubes."

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

"Little owner, you are worried that your horse cannot outrun us."

"It's just a means of transportation. If the person who rides it wants to make a fuss about the livestock, wouldn't it be looked down upon by others? This Dongcheng District looks like it's full of high-end compounds, so they must be full of noble people."

"The little village owner has good eyesight. Most of the palaces in the east city where the east is noble and the south is rich are the residences of princes and princesses, and some of them are important officials in the court."

"I'm afraid what the uncle guard said is not entirely true. It seems that no one lives in the courtyards over there, and the courtyards here should be under renovation." Yuqing pointed to several courtyards on both sides of the street.

Said.

"Little owner of the village, you don't understand this. As the saying goes, once the emperor is the same as the courtier, there is no family with a long family history in Dongcheng. Look at the big courtyard in the distance that has been abandoned for ten years.

A few years ago. It is said that his previous owner was the God of War, and it is still overgrown with wormwood."

"Really? The girl thought that there was a wasteland." Yuqing looked at the yard in the distance that was almost buried by weeds, and said in a calm tone. But there was a storm in her heart. That should be her father's home.

I had an idea in my mind, which was to use this time while I was still in the palace to visit the courtyard and see where my father once lived.

Not far into Dongcheng, I saw several large pots set up on the roadside. Several imperial doctors and several doctors from the imperial hospital were already preparing to boil medicinal soup. There were also soldiers banging gongs along the street to make announcements.

People here come out to receive medicinal soup.

Yuqing ordered Ma Lai and told him not to forget to blend the pills into the medicinal soup, and that the seeds and flowers of the medicinal herbs should be put in last.

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, we remember it." An imperial doctor said seriously. After seeing the old doctor's master's and apprentice's methods of brewing medicine last night, the contempt for the master and apprentice was gone. Again.

Dongcheng is a place where noble people live, so how dare you do it perfunctorily.

"Little owner, if we have nothing else to tell them, we will go to Nancheng."

"That's good. The owner of this village rarely comes to the imperial city. I'd like to take this opportunity to see where the nobles live, and then where the rich live." Yuqing said very curiously, and the two guards were worried.

It's funny, she is really a country girl who has never seen the world. When she got to Nancheng where the rich lived, I asked her to visit more.

"Little village master, why did you become the master of the village at such a young age? Do the people in the village obey you?" asked the older guard. He himself had a girl who was as old as the little village master, but she

Or act coquettishly in front of my parents and brothers.

"Uncle Guard, it seems that we are forced by the situation. The owner of the village is weak, with only a grandmother and two younger brothers left. At that time, there were more than 1,000 corpses piled in the villa, and the corpses were already rotting and smelly. The owner of the village wanted to

I came up with a way to dispose of these corpses at the same time. Therefore, I became the owner of the village. As for the people of the village, it is not necessarily me, the young lady, but the things I have done for them. After becoming the owner of the village, don’t look at it.

There are few people in our village owner’s yard and we are weak, so no one dares to bully us anymore.”

"We have also heard about this. Nowadays, the corpses in the imperial city are burned directly. Even at the mass graves, the emperor also asked us to set a fire to burn them. The first ones to get sick were those who were burned.

Corpse man.”

"Yes, little owner, is the smoke poisonous when burning corpses?"

"How could smoke blowing in the wind poison people? Could it be possible that someone would get close enough to smell the smell of the smoke? The disease was caused because protective measures were not taken when handling the corpse, and the right medicine was not prescribed after falling ill."

"The little village owners all wear face towels."

"The facecloth can at most cover up the appearance, but it cannot effectively isolate the disease. We country people all wear masks under the facecloth. Otherwise, how can the doctor dare to diagnose those people?"

"Face mask?"

"It's something that can cover your mouth and nose without affecting your breathing." Yuqing said, opening the face mask to reveal the mask she was wearing underneath.

"This is a mask. No wonder you and your doctor dare to go to the cold palace to diagnose the pulse of those who are about to die. There is such a good thing, why didn't you tell me about it earlier."

"Brother, guard, this is just a trick thought up by country people who are afraid of death. How could such a vulgar thing get into the eyes of you nobles? If you don't dislike it, there are still a few in our village ready to replace the unused ones.

"

"Little village owner, how can we despise something that can save our lives? Who is not afraid of death?" The two guards hurriedly took the masks and put them on. They already had a good impression of this little village owner. They also had a deep affection for the mission they carried.

Some people don't take it seriously, but she is just a country girl who is not familiar with the world and has never seen the world.

Nancheng is almost as big as Dongcheng, and the courtyards here are very dense. The shops on the main street are next to each other. The richness of Nancheng can be seen from these shops. But now most of these shops are closed, but most of them are open.

There is almost no business to do.

Rich places are also in such depression, it seems that this plague cannot be ignored. At this moment, a cry and howl came from behind a shop. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I knew it was not a good thing.
