Chapter 1249 555 Clues (4 More)
"...The old man and Miss Han live in the garrison. At this time, Miss Han should go to the wounded barracks to help. However, the old man did not leave the mansion today."
Nangong Yue nodded and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"
"Slave and Thrush have used it." Seeing that Nangong Yuele was tidying up her study, Baihui didn't bother her, so she decided to eat first.
"At that moment, we went to find our grandfather."
Nangong Yue quickly ate all the food, and there was nothing left.
After Baihui returned the food box to the kitchen, Nangong Yue drove Xiao Hui out of the study and let him play by himself. Then he went back to the room and put on a skirt before going to Lin Jingchen's place.
Lin Jingchen lived in a small quiet yard in the garrison mansion. This yard had three entrances, the front was used for drying medicine, and the back room was where Han Qixia lived.
As soon as Nangong Yue stepped into the yard, she saw Lin Jingchen, who was wearing a Tsing Yi, standing there picking out herbs.
Nangong Yue shouted happily, "Grandfather!"
As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, Lin Jingchen smiled happily and said, "Yue'er, why are you here?"
Nangong Yue said with a smile, "There was a mistake in the medicine I sent you last time. I'm here to see if I can help you correct it together."
Lin Jingchen didn't believe her excuse at all, and said straight to the point, "Are you here to find A Yi?"
There was a hint of shyness on Nangong Yue's face, and the attitude of her youngest daughter was unmistakable.
Baihui also covered her lips and smiled.
Lin Jingchen laughed. His granddaughter and grandson-in-law had a good relationship. Of course, he had to see it happen. After the couple got married, they stayed together less often. Now that Yue'er can come to Yanding City, it is naturally better!
He waved to Nangong Yue with a smile on his face, and said, "I just want to make medicine. Come and sit first."
Nangong Yue hadn't seen her grandfather pharmacy for a long time, so she hurried over for a rare opportunity.
Lin Jingchen put the picked herbs into the pounding jar, and saw that there were already several herbs in the jar, and the smells of various herbs were mixed together and filled the air.
Baihui brought a small round stool, and Nangong Yue sat down beside him quietly.
Lin Jingchen picked out more than a dozen herbs, put them in one by one in order, and began to pound them with concentration.
One stroke, two strokes, three strokes... The movements are fast or slow, but quite regular. After carefully pounding a stick of incense for about a time, Lin Jingchen took out a small porcelain bowl and poured all the juice into it. .
Lin Jingchen pushed the small porcelain bowl in front of Nangong Yue and asked with a smile, "Yue'er, do you know what medicines are in it?"
Nangong Yue couldn't help thinking of her previous life. At that time, she studied medicine with her grandfather, who would often test her like this. Nangong Yue smiled. She closed her eyes, sniffed the smell, and discriminated carefully. After a while, she murmured, "... White-flowered snake grass, black snake grass, silver snake root grass... Huh?" She He looked up at Lin Jingchen.
These medicines seem to have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. Most of them are similar to the one she used last time, and the silver snake root grass just happens to be the one that grows near the swamp? Could it be that what my grandfather was making was an antidote for the poison of the swamp miasma?
Lin Jingchen saw the meaning in her eyes, nodded with a smile, and said, "That's all."
"Why mash them into pulp?" Nangong Yue said with a puzzled face, "It should be easier to take it if it is made into honey pills?"
"Yue'er, your point is wrong." Lin Jingchen shook his head with a smile, and said, "Yue'er, let me ask you, where are these medicines used for?"
Nangong Yue replied without hesitation: "The army crosses the swamp."
Lin Jingchen pointed and said, "So, do you plan to let them take the medicine before entering the swamp, and then take the medicine after they are in a miasma?"
"Uh……"
Nangong Yue faintly realized that something was wrong, and lowered her head to think carefully.
She deduced the process of using these medicines in her mind. Thousands of soldiers are about to step into the swamp, and then... take the medicine together first?
Well, it seems a bit outrageous indeed! Nangong Yue lowered her head in shame.
She originally thought that she didn't get the fresh swamp mud, so the effect of the recipe was not satisfactory. Now it seems that she wanted to go in the wrong direction from the beginning.
This method of taking medicine is really troublesome for the army. It should be said that it is only suitable for slow marching. If something changes, it will be restricted.
It's like, if you want to chase the enemy army, and the enemy army steps into the swamp, should you take medicine first, or should you chase people first...
In particular, it would be even more foolish to wait for the miasma poison to take the medicine again.
Nangong Yue felt that she was stupid!
Seeing that she understood, Lin Jingchen followed up: "This is one, and the other, according to your original recipe, how many pills do you need to prepare? Can you make them in time?"
Nangong Yue's head dropped lower and lower. The three drugstores in Luoyue City were busy rushing to make pills. She didn't dare to use other drugstores easily. Maybe they were the enemy's hidden stakes like Qianjintang, which was really hard to prevent. If you really follow this recipe to make medicine, I am afraid that there will be insufficient medicine for the army to use for a few months.
yes!
Over the years, whether it's medical treatment or medicine, she has been so successful that she is a little complacent and preconceived, and she is not as thoughtful as her grandfather.
"Grandfather." Nangong Yue blinked, looked at him and said, "Then what are you making now?"
"Do you remember the masks you made when you were in the Hunting Palace?" Lin Jingchen said with a laugh, "I've looked at this carefully, and it's really good, so I plan to make some paste ointment and seal it into these masks, come here. Block the poisonous miasma from entering the nose and mouth."
The mask in Lin Jingchen's mouth was one of the preventive measures they used in the hunting palace when the epidemic was prevalent. It was originally proposed by Bai Muxiao, but the mask made by Bai Muxiao was too simple and impractical, so She adjusted it together with the imperial doctor, but after the hunting palace, it was not popularized.
Nangong Yue still remembered the matter of hunting the palace, and nodded hastily: "Grandfather, you are right!"
Since there is no need to enter it, there is no need to worry that the medicinal properties of the main medicine are too strong and will hurt the body, and a pair of masks can also be worn with you, which is very convenient to use. Most of the women in Dayu can do some needlework, and it is not difficult to make masks. As long as enough gauze can be transferred from Luoyue City, women in the whole city can help make them together. It will save time than making hundreds of thousands of pills.
Nangong Yue looked at him with bright eyes, and said coquettishly, "It's still my grandfather who has the best solution!"
Nangong Yue was fortunate that her grandfather was in Yanding City, otherwise she would have gone further and further along a detour.
Lin Jingchen smiled and stroked his beard.
Nangong Yue said eagerly, "Grandfather, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Jingchen didn't shirk, and said bluntly: "Tell me about your formula's thinking."
Nangong Yue nodded, organized the language, and explained carefully one by one: "...In the beginning, I thought that all things can grow and restrain each other, since plants such as silver snake root grass can also grow vigorously near the swamp, I can't say it is because there are The effect of mutual restraint, and then..."
Nangong Yue talked about the several experiments she had conducted, and Lin Jingchen also listened carefully, and then put forward her own opinion, "You are right. However, have you ever thought that these medicinal properties are too violent, and People's tolerance to drugs is different. Even if your drug can detoxify, it may become poison for weak people."
Nangong Yue also thought about this, and immediately replied: "So, I deliberately added the root grass to neutralize the medicinal properties..."
One old man and one young man sat in the courtyard, pondering over and over again, and Baihui, who was waiting on the side, saw the opportunity and asked someone to bring a small case table and put a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
Baihui grinds quietly, laying down paper and handing over pens in a timely manner.
The two pondered while revising the prescription, and they quarreled, and neither accepted the other.
After more than an hour, a formula finally took shape. This recipe is more perfect than the one Lin Jingchen wrote at the beginning of the year, and it is more suitable for making plaster.
Nangong Yue wrote down the prescription herself, gently dried the ink on it, and said with a smile, "Grandfather, let's try this first."
Lin Jingchen nodded happily.
In the yard where Lin Jingchen lived, a small pharmacy was specially set up, and most of the herbs were in it.
After working hard until the sun went down, a small jar of brown plaster was finally made.
