In the morning, the villagers came in groups on motorcycles to buy herbs. It kept Zhang Degui and the others busy for a while.
After these days, the villagers had summed up the pattern. They were not in a hurry to buy herbs. If they came too early, it would affect the little boss's rest. They usually went to town to hand in the ingredients first and waited for them to be weighed before coming to the study building. Now, more and more people came to hand in medicinal herbs. Because Lin Dong offered a higher price, he would pay more for those that were in good condition. Therefore, not only the elderly who usually picked herbs to sell in town, but even the idlers in the nearby villages were willing to go up the mountain to dig up herbs in exchange for some money to spend playing mahjong.
Zhang Degui saw this growing momentum and was delighted in his heart.
He, Lai Di, and the three elders all hoped that Lin Dong would keep buying herbs, preferably for the rest of his life.
"I still don't quite believe that you made this tea …" The class monitor was still thinking about this question even after lunch. "I say, Blockhead, based on what theory did you come up with the idea of using herbs and camellia to make medicinal tea?"
"The five elements." Lin Dong had already thought about how to deal with this girl who was even more curious than a cat.
"What five elements?" The class monitor was confused.
"It's metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!" Lin Dong took out the theory of mutual promotion and restraint of the five elements and said seriously, "The five elements are like a gear. The human body is also made up of the five elements. If the two can mesh together according to the principle of mutual promotion, then the energy needed by the body will be replenished and the cells will be full of energy. Isn't the daily intake of food, meat, vegetables, and water to replenish energy?"
"Wait, you're confusing me!" Although she was stunned by Lin Dong at first, the class monitor, who was a straight-A student, was not easily fooled. She immediately reacted. "How can there be a gear of the five elements in the body? Humans aren't machines! "
"Don't you think that for example, DNA, life genes, 23 pairs of chromosomes, these extremely small but ubiquitous sequences and arrangements are a wonderful biological chain? If you look at each cell according to the theory of the five elements, then aren't they countless tiny gears of the five elements? You don't have to worry about these things. You just have to understand that drinking tea is the same as eating. It's all used to replenish energy. I turned the medicinal herbs into medicinal power and added it to the camellia. Then, I turned it into medicinal tea. According to the theory of the five elements, it completely conforms to the principle of the mutual generation of the five elements and can provide energy for the human body. "Lin Dong's research base was actually from ancient times and did not belong to the scope of cultivation.
Furthermore, refining spiritual tea was not something that could be done with just theory alone. If one was not a cultivator, they would not be able to do it even if they studied it for a hundred years.
If Lin Dong did not teach Mingge how to cultivate, it would be useless even if she knew the theory.
Saying this now was just to convince her.
"I still think there's something wrong …" The class leader instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"You've already drunk the tea. I've proved that my direction is correct." Lin Dong was secretly delighted.
"What about beauty treatments? This gear also has a cosmetic effect? "The class leader wasn't easy to convince.
"Of course." Lin Dong made a gesture, strengthened his tone, and replied: "The human body is made up of countless cells. When the cells are full of energy, the human body is full of vitality, just like a young person. However, as the body consumes energy, some cells do not receive the best replenishment. Without enough energy, they will gradually dry up and be eliminated. The body will replace them with a new batch of cells, but the total number of cell division is limited. This is why living things will eventually age. What I need to do now is to replenish this energy into every cell as much as possible, so that these cells that are ready to be eliminated can continue to play their role. Even if they will be eliminated in the end, I have already succeeded in delaying the time. This, I have achieved the effect of beauty treatments! "
"That seems to be the case …" The class leader was temporarily convinced, but she doubted Lin Dong's practical ability: "I've heard the theory, let's see how it works. If you can do it in front of me, then I'll believe you!"
"First, call me handsome brother!" Lin Dong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. The feeling of bullying a bookworm was really good.
"I'll scratch you to death!" Although the class leader looked fierce on the surface, she did not use force this time.
Instead, she happily ran errands.
According to Lin Dong's request.
She had to mix all kinds of medicinal herbs according to different materials, different combinations, and different proportions. She was so busy that she was sweating profusely. Even when Zhang Degui and the others wanted to help, she refused. She just stayed in the kitchen with Lin Dong and completed the process of brewing the medicine and brewing the tea by herself.
Zhang Degui originally wanted to help light the fire, but when Lai Di saw that this stupid person was hopeless, she quickly pulled him away. The couple was so intimate, why did you add to the mess!
Because it was a trial production, the quantity was very small. Although the process was also complicated, the time was greatly reduced. After about an hour and a half, all the medicine was brewed. According to Lin Dong's request, the class leader made different combinations of the medicine according to different proportions. At first, she wanted to memorize it, but later, she realized that there were hundreds of combinations, so she completely gave up.
"So troublesome!" The class leader complained, but she was very happy in her heart.
"This is just the beginning, don't be scared silly when the tea is brewed later." Of course, Lin Dong couldn't use the ice and fire energy of the pearl. He used the ice cubes in the fridge and the heat of the iron pot instead. The effect was definitely not good, but it should be able to pass the test of the class leader.
"When did you study it?" The class leader remembered that this kid used to have a habit of reading ancient books. In his grandmother's bookshelf, there were also "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Folk Remedies" and other books. Did he come up with a solution from these ancient medical books? The class leader, who was more inclined to science, asked with a little depression, "Isn't Chinese medicine fake?"
"How is Chinese medicine fake?" Lin Dong was speechless.
"There seems to be a pig shoulder who said that Chinese medicine is fake?" The class leader frowned. She seemed to remember reading this opinion somewhere.
"Who's the pig shoulder?" Lin Dong was stunned.
"You know Lu Xun, right? He seems to have also said that Chinese medicine is intentional or unintentional liar. " As a super smart student, her memory was very good, and it was not easy to forget things she had seen.
"Of course, quacks are liars, but quacks don't distinguish between Chinese and Western medicine. Are you sure there are no quacks in Western medicine? No liar? I'm not speaking up for Chinese medicine. Something that has been verified for thousands of years is rejected by others. If there is no corporate interest behind it, then even a fool will not believe it. Besides, I have nothing to do with Chinese medicine. I'm just studying medicinal tea in private and making a cup of tea to drink. This shouldn't affect the rotation of the earth, right? " Lin Dong had also read some explanations about Lu Xun and Chinese medicine before. It seemed that it only said that his father was killed by a quack, so he was extreme and said something out of anger. Later, the evaluation of Compendium of Materia Medica and folk medicine was fair and profound.
The decocted medicine finally formed dozens of combinations. The color became a little black, and some became very light.
The fragrance of medicine wafted.
Lin Dong took out the ice cubes and heated the iron pot.
He put the fresh camellia in it and stirred it clockwise with his right hand.
The class leader held her breath and quietly watched Lin Dong's operation. There was a little worship in her big blinking eyes. She didn't understand this, but she knew that it must have taken a lot of effort to study this.
Just the ratio before the decoction and the combination after the decoction was a huge project.
He might have been studying this all along, but he was waiting for success to share the results with her! This idiot, why did he have to be so headstrong? Doesn't he know that it is more efficient to study with two people than one? What a hateful man's pride! He really wanted to help! Now, he was shouldering all the boring research by himself, but he was sharing the results. This idiot was really stupid …
The more Mingge thought about it, the more moved she became. Tears secretly rolled down her cheeks.
She wiped it again and again.
"Come and help, bring the medicine over!" Lin Dong put the camellia in the iron pot into ice and repeated it three times. Then, he signaled Mingge to pour the medicine into the iron pot.
"You're not going to use this to make tea, are you?" The class leader felt that it was a little inappropriate. How could tea be made with so much medicine poured in?
"Pour it quickly, this is the top secret of the mutual generation of the five elements!" Lin Dong wouldn't tell her that the last step still required the use of fire energy, but with the iron pot as a cover, she wouldn't be able to see it. She would only feel that it was magical. Of course, using the iron pot slowly could also be done, but the effect would be very poor. Not only would the medicine not be extracted, but it would also run out during the slow heating process.
The class leader picked up the medicine and poured it into the pot. The extremely hot iron pot was like oil, and a ball of flame rose.
She was shocked.
But she felt that it was magical, and the doubt in her heart immediately turned into certainty.
The more the medicine was added, the fiercer the flame became. Lin Dong asked her to add a few more ice cubes, saying that it would suppress the fire. The class leader personally tried it, and she was even more convinced that Lin Dong had really developed this medicinal tea. She cheered as she added, and her excitement was completely different from her previous doubt. Finally, she saw Lin Dong making the tea. After a series of dazzling movements, he snatched the tea leaves out of the flames like a fire rescue.
The fragrance of the tea had unknowingly filled the entire kitchen.
The class leader didn't cheer. Instead, she covered her small mouth, and tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.
She was proud of Lin Dong, proud of him. Most importantly, she had a feeling in her heart that in order to research this and obtain this result, he must have suffered a lot. She didn't know how many failures and setbacks he had gone through to have this easy demonstration in front of her today …
"Why are you crying? You should be happy! "Lin Dong quickly comforted her.
"I'm just crying!" Sister Mingge, who had turned into a little crying bag, threw herself into Lin Dong's arms and burst into tears. She hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to use her small body to share the pain he had gone through. She knew that it wasn't easy for him, and her heart ached for him. But, she didn't know that he had worked so hard! Other than the side that she saw, this idiot had actually been working hard in secret, trying to change. But before he succeeded, he had been silent, until today, when he amazed everyone with a single brilliant feat!
Sister Mingge cried more and more sadly.
She hugged Lin Dong, and really wanted to tell him: I love you so much! In the future, don't go on the road alone, I will love you for the rest of your life …
"It smells so good, I'll buy all of this spiritual tea!" As soon as Lu Guoqiang got out of the car, he smelled a wisp of refreshing fragrance. He immediately became spirited and rushed in. He didn't expect to see this scene, and quickly withdrew. "Ah ha, I didn't see anything, you guys continue!"
