That day, the sun was still bright and beautiful.
In the cottage, Wang Yao started to get busy after he finished his morning practice. He put the herbs he had prepared into a big pot to bake. When he felt that the heat was about right, he took them out and sorted them. Then, he used a medicine grinder or a stone mortar to crush them. His strength was extraordinary, and he was quite good at using antique tools. Soon, he crushed the herbs into smaller pieces and then sorted them. After repeating this several times, he finally ground all the herbs used to make the pills into fine powder. He sorted them and put them aside for future use.
Then he took out the medicine board. This medicine board was also an antique. It was Tian Yuantu who got it for him.
Brush water.
Sprinkle the powder.
His arms shook gently.
This was a technical job that relied on experience. What Wang Yao lacked the most was this experience. However, he had a very good mentality and was not anxious. If he failed, he would start again. Anyway, he had prepared enough powder.
Brush water.
Sprinkle the powder.
Bumpy.
After several times, the pills finally appeared in the medicine board.
Wang Yao became more careful.
From morning to evening, Wang Yao had been silent in the process of making the pills. He did not even have lunch.
There were only two things that he was most afraid of.
Focus and perseverance.
Wang Yao was very focused today. There were also results, which were the pills in the medicine board at the end.
It seems to be a success. I just don't know how effective it is.
He picked up a few of the pills and walked out of the cottage.
"San Xian, come here."
The dog heard him and ran to his side, gently wagging its tail.
"Open your mouth."
Hearing these two words, San Xian decisively stepped back and then looked at Wang Yao with its head tilted.
"Poop-picker, what are you going to feed me?"
"This is good stuff," Wang Yao said. "It's a perfect tonic pill. It nourishes the Yin and the kidney and harmonizes Yin and Yang. It's very good for the body. Come, have a taste."
Finally, Wang Yao successfully put five pills into the dog's mouth. Then he stayed aside and quietly observed the dog's reaction.
"How is it, San Xian? Do you feel any discomfort?"
The dog did not answer. It just stood there, wagging its tail and shaking its head from time to time.
"Yes, it's fine. You can go now." After saying that, Wang Yao did not immediately enter the house. Instead, he sat outside and observed the dog's behavior. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"There doesn't seem to be any problems with this medicine."
Then, he threw two into his mouth.
There was nothing more direct and accurate than testing the medicine with one's own body.
After taking the pill, Wang Yao sat there quietly, feeling the changes in his body. After about an hour, he found that there were no major problems, so he got up.
"This medicine can be given to humans."
The pills were made according to the method of the ancient prescription. As long as the amounts of various medicinal materials were accurately weighed and mixed by Wang Yao, there would not be any major problems.
Moreover, he did not intend to give this medicine to anyone else. He only wanted to use it to understand the method of making water pills.
He had already been clear about the process. After making it himself, he had a better idea in his heart. Then, he seized the time to experiment several times. He recorded the shortcomings and shortcomings and corrected them one by one.
"This ancient method of making medicine really has a lot of room for compromise." The more Wang Yao came into contact with it, the more he admired the ancient people.
Just as Wang Yao was trying to make the pills, a person unexpectedly came up the hill.
"Master Xu, why are you here?"
The person who came was Xu Maosheng. He was carrying something in his hand.
"I also made some new tea for you to try." Xu Maosheng smiled and explained the purpose of his visit.
"Well, thank you." Wang Yao originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that the tea was made by Xu Maosheng, he understood that it was a little kindness from Xu Maosheng. He could not refuse, so he accepted it happily. "Come in and have a seat."
Wang Yao made a pot of tea for him.
"This tea smells so good. Is it Huangshan Maojian?"
"An expert is an expert. You can smell it just by smelling it."
"It's all good tea!" Xu Maosheng sighed.
"Is Auntie feeling better?"
"She's much better after taking the medicine. Now she can eat and sleep well. To be honest, I'm a little envious!"
"That's good. That's good!" Wang Yao smiled and said.
As a medical staff, the happiest thing was to hear that the patient's illness was cured and her body was getting better. This was even more so for the ancient pharmacists.
The old man and the young man chatted on the hill for a long time. When Wang Yao knew that Xu Maosheng had come by car, he insisted on driving him home. He also checked the pulse of Xu Maosheng's wife.
"The illness should be almost cured. You can change your constitution with some methods of diet therapy. You can eat some calming food." Wang Yao wrote down some ingredients for them. They were all common things. Eating more was good for the body, especially in the case of Xu Maosheng's wife.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Wang."
"Auntie, you're too polite. I've learned a lot from Uncle Xu."
"Hey, that's nothing!" Xu Maosheng's wife replied.
"That's a treasure!"
These things, which were understood by fewer and fewer people, were the culture passed down in this country for thousands of years. Some people disdained it, some ignored it, and then it gradually disappeared. When future generations looked at it again, they could only find it through some history books and legends. These things needed to be inherited and promoted.
Tea ceremony and traditional Chinese medicine were classics of ancient culture. The former flourished in modern Japan, while the latter was broadcast in Korea.
It was obviously something invented by one's own country, but it was not as good as others. Gradually, the identity of the inventor was robbed. If this was not sad, what was?!
After chatting with the two kind old men for a while, Wang Yao said goodbye and left.
On the way back, he received a call from Wang Mingbao, who said something that he had almost forgotten. The house he bought in Lianshan County had been renovated, and the smell was almost gone. It was ready to move in. Wang Mingbao asked when he would like to have a look.
"How about tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
I should tell my sister about this in advance so that she won't cause any trouble, Wang Yao thought.
It was already evening when he drove home. When he arrived home, he found two "distinguished guests" in his house. They were his mother's cousin and her husband. They had been to his house after the Chinese New Year. This time, they were here again.
"Yao, greet them," Zhang Xiuying said.
"Auntie, Uncle."
"Okay."
Wang Yao sat down and chatted with them. After dinner, they stayed for a while and then left.
"Mom, why did they come to our house?"
Wang Yao could clearly feel that they must have come for something, but they did not say it in front of him.
"Nothing much," Zhang Xiuying said. "Your great-aunt is old, and her children are not around. She asked us to take care of them."
"That's it?"
Wang Yao asked. "Yes, that's it," Zhang Xiuying said.
"If they are busy, they can bring their parents to live in Beijing. The conditions there are better. Besides, they can also hire a nanny," Wang Yao said.
He did not have time to take care of his parents, but he asked others to take care of them. Only a talented person could come up with such a method.
The next day, Wang Yao went to Wang Mingbao's shop at the appointed time. He saw a car drive away from a distance. He knew the person. It was Wei Hai.
"Hey, you came at the right time. Wei Hai just left," Wang Mingbao said with a smile after seeing Wang Yao.
"I saw him. He came to ask again?"
"Yes, he asked when you can treat him. He is very scared now. He relies on sleeping pills to sleep at night," Wang Mingbao said.
"That won't do. His body is already very weak. If he takes sleeping pills, it will only make it worse. Call him when you have time. I will treat him within a week and ask him to stop taking those harmful drugs."
"Okay, let's go and see your house."
"Okay."
Wang Yao drove Wang Mingbao to the place where he bought the house.
The house had been renovated. There was no smell inside. The decoration was quite good. The style was quite simple and elegant. It was the kind of style that looked ordinary at first, but the more you looked at it, the better it looked. The materials used were good, and the air pollution was poor.
"Not bad, not bad. How much is it?"
Wang Mingbao named a price. It was very low, almost the cost price.
"Don't go back at noon. Let's have lunch together."
"Okay, call Lao Li and the others. I have to think about how to tell my sister about this."
"Hey, this is a good thing. You tell her. She will be happy."
At noon, they gathered together. Tian Yuantu was on a business trip and could not come. It was just the three of them. They chose a relatively quiet farmhouse restaurant. The restaurant was recommended by Li Maoshuang. He said the restaurant was clean and the ingredients were good.
They ordered a few dishes and a bottle of red wine. Wang Yao drove and did not drink. Wang Mingbao and Li Maoshuang both drank a little.
"Are you free next week?"
"Why?"
"Brother signed up for a tour to Tibet and Xinjiang. It is boring for you to stay on the mountain all day. Do you want to go together?" Li Maoshuang said.
"How long will it take?"
"It will take seven days to go back and forth."
"Forget it." Wang Yao thought for a moment. If it was two or three days, he could consider it. Seven days was indeed a bit long.
"Hey, I have a question that I haven't asked you. Do you have a girlfriend?" Li Maoshuang asked.
"We are dating," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Really? Your sister-in-law said a few days ago that she had a good girl and wanted to introduce her to you."
"Tell me, I don't have a girlfriend yet!" Wang Mingbao hurriedly said.
"Okay, I will tell your sister-in-law later."
The three of them chatted for a long time. After lunch, they went to Li Maoshuang's place for a while and tasted the spring tea he had brought.
Then, Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao went to the nearby furniture store. They walked around and chose a few sets of furniture. Unfortunately, there was no stock except for the display items. They had to wait for two days.
