Su Xiaoxue also came to the small courtyard. She quietly accompanied Wang Yao and watched him decoct the decoction.
"Sir, what is this decoction? What is it used for?"
She watched Wang Yao add herbs one by one into the decoction and boil it. He used the most ancient method, a clay pot and firewood. This was the first time she had seen Wang Yao decoction so closely. She thought it was very interesting.
"How many kinds of herbs do you know?"
"This is ginseng, wolfberry, and ganoderma lucidum." Su Xiaoxue knew a few of the herbs.
"This is gorgon, and this is sealwort." He omitted the two licorice roots, Guiyuan and Shanjing.
"This is regather soup. You have drunk it before." Wang Yao smiled. "It is used to consolidate the corporeity. It is very effective for people who are in poor health."
This was the first decoction he was going to make for the old man. He had given the old man a simple version of the decoction, which could also have the same effect. However, the effect was definitely not as good as the decoction provided by the system, which used two licorice roots. This was also the most widely used decoction. At the beginning, when he came in contact with difficult and complicated diseases, he would write this decoction.
"Sir, can you tell me about decoction?" she asked.
"Yes," Wang Yao said. He was an expert in this area.
He knew what herbs to use, how to distinguish the quality of the herbs, how to pre-process the herbs, when to add the herbs, how to control the temperature of the decoction, how to distinguish the decoction's degree of decoction by the color and taste of the decoction, and when the decoction was finished.
There was a lot of knowledge in decoction. It was a systematic process.
"Sir, you majored in biology in college, right?"
"Yes, I was taught this skill by accident after graduation."
"Then who did you learn your skills from?" She was not the only one who was curious about this matter. Everyone who knew about Wang Yao's skill was curious about who had learned this superb skill.
"It was a gift from heaven." Wang Yao pointed to the sky.
Su Xiaoxue just smiled.
"It's true. You have to believe it."
"I believe you."
He spent the whole morning making the first decoction. The aura here was much more turbid than that of the Spirit Gathering Array. Moreover, he did not use the multifunctional pot for herbs. In this way, the efficacy of the decoction would definitely be lower.
"Alright."
Su Xiaoxue sniffed it carefully.
"It smells weird."
"This is the smell of medicine. Every medicine has its own unique smell."
"Sir, you can tell?"
"I can tell the difference between the potions that I concocted myself, and I can remember most of the other medicines after seeing them." To put it bluntly, Wang Yao's sense of smell was now even more sensitive than a dog's in some aspects.
"That's it?"
"I still have to decoct a medicine."
"Start immediately?"
"Wait a moment."
After waiting for the medicine to cool down, he filtered the medicinal gauze, poured away the dregs, and carefully scrubbed the pot. It was already eleven o 'clock in the morning by the time they were done.
"Sir, are you having dinner at home today?" Chen Ying asked.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you."
"You're too polite."
"I'll help you," Su Xiaoxue said.
"No, I'll be fine by myself."
In the end, Chen Ying couldn't stop Su Xiaoxue from entering the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, Su Xiaoxue whispered, "Sister Ying, can you teach me how to cook?"
"Ah, sure." Chen Ying was surprised. It turned out that Su Xiaoxue came with a purpose.
Chen Ying explained to Su Xiaoxue while cooking.
In terms of cooking, Su Xiaoxue was almost a blank piece of paper. She also wanted to cook at home, but Song Ruiping and Su Xianghua, who treasured their daughters, didn't agree. They didn't give her such an opportunity.
"What kind of food does Sir like to eat?"
"Ah, I'm not sure about that. I personally think he likes to eat Shandong and Huaiyang dishes," Chen Ying said. When Wang Yao lived in this small courtyard, she mainly cooked these two kinds of dishes.
With the help of Su Xiaoxue, Chen Ying's cooking speed didn't become faster. On the contrary, it became slower. Su Xiaoxue asked a few questions from time to time, and Chen Ying had to answer them.
A table of dishes was finally prepared. One of the dishes was made by Su Xiaoxue. It was a cold dish, which was relatively simple.
After eating and resting for a while, Wang Yao began to decoct the second dose of medicine.
"What medicine is this?"
"Analgesic powder. The main effect is to relieve pain," Wang Yao said. "Old Mr. Wu's disease is already in the late stage. Now it has spread to the surrounding collective tissues, which often causes unbearable pain."
"This medicine is not used much."
"Well, Corydalis yanhusuo, Dahurian angelica, licorice …"
The effect of this medicine was very simple. It was to relieve pain. The medicine was simple but the power was specific.
"He was very good to me when I was a child," Su Xiaoxue said. Su Xiaoxue said. In her impression, Su Xiaoxue was a kind old man, especially to children like them.
"He likes girls very much."
"Really?"
"Yes, he has several grandchildren, but he doesn't have a granddaughter."
While decocting the medicine, Wang Yao said a few words to Su Xiaoxue from time to time. The medicine was relatively simple. Because the medicine was not used much, it was soon decocted.
"Well, let's go to Old Mr. Wu's house."
"Okay."
The two of them went to Old Mr. Wu's house together.
"The medicine is ready. Take this one first, which can relieve pain. Then take this one to consolidate the corporeity." Wang Yao took out the two decoctions and handed them to the Wu family.
"OK, thank you."
Wang Yao did not rush to leave. He waited.
After taking the first decoction, he waited for about 20 minutes.
"How do you feel?"
"Well, it doesn't hurt so much," the old man said.
"Well, you can take the second decoction."
Regather soup was a mild tonic. Some of the herbs in it were more potent, but they were neutralized by Guiyuan.
After taking the decoction for a while, the old man lying in the hospital bed breathed a long sigh of relief.
He felt much better.
His body did not hurt so much, and he felt lighter. The feeling of sleepiness had weakened a lot.
"Dad, how do you feel?"
"Well, I feel much better."
"That's good, that's good!"
Now the Wu Family didn't ask to cure the old man's illness completely. They also knew that it was unrealistic. They just hoped to relieve the old man's pain and let him live a little longer. That was enough.
Wang Yao sat by the bed to check the old man's pulse.
"Well, let him rest for a while."
The neixi that had been injected into the old man's body earlier, coupled with the two decoctions, had almost immediate effects.
"Let's call it a day. I'll come back tomorrow."
"OK, thank you, Dr. Wang," the old man said.
Director Wu, who was busy on weekdays, personally walked Wang Yao out of the house. Originally, Wu Tongxing insisted on treating Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue to a meal, but they refused.
As soon as they came out of the Wu family's house, an old man rushed over.
"I've been waiting for you, young friend."
"Dr. Chen, what can I do for you?"
"Yes, there is."
"Hello, Dr. Chen," Su Xiaoxue said.
"Good, Xiaoxue is getting more and more beautiful." The old man looked at Su Xiaoxue lovingly. He had a close relationship with the Su family. He treated this girl as his own granddaughter. He had worried a lot about her strange illness.
"What can I do for you?"
"For the sake of my old face, can you help me see a patient?" Chen Ying said. He had gone to the small courtyard today. He had heard from Chen Ying that he and Su Xiaoxue had come to the Wu family's house. They had come at the right time. If they had come a little later, they would not have been able to see them.
"Patient? What kind of patient?"
He knew a thing or two about this old man's ability. As a National Healer, this old man's experience in treating illnesses was definitely rich and far above his. If he couldn't treat a disease, it would definitely be very difficult to treat.
"Well, it's hard to say," Chen Ying said.
"This is not the right time, is it?"
It was nearly 5 p.m. when they came out of the Wu family's house. It was dinner time. Generally, people would think it was not particularly auspicious to see a patient in the afternoon.
"No problem. He is very anxious."
Wang Yao turned to look at Su Xiaoxue.
"What do you think?"
"I'll listen to you." Su Xiaoxue was very sensible.
"Well, let's go and see him."
Chen Ying led the way. It did not take long for them to arrive at the patient's house.
Before he even entered the room, he could already smell a very strong medicinal smell.
"Chinese medicine, and the medicine is cold. It is a medicine to remove heat toxins." He could tell what medicine the patient was using by smell.
Chen Ying knocked on the door. The door opened. A woman in her 50s opened the door. Her face was a little pale. She looked very tired.
