Chapter 36 Making Chicken Soup
This purse is very delicate. The fabric is made of fine soft satin, and it is cross-embroidered with gold and blue silk. The layers of overlapping waves look like they are rolling over mountains and seas.
Shen Zechuan opened the money bag and saw that Magistrate Yang was very generous. This payment was 20 taels of silver. His plan was very successful and he had already won over all the favors.
"Shen resigned in advance."
The lady still had a fever, so she had to boil some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs for her to drink. Thinking of this, Shen Zechuan could calm down and study the medical book carefully, and the words gradually became clear in his mind.
Shen Zechuan thought that when Mr. Wang left, there was still a medical shop left, and the medicines in it were all in good condition. Thinking of this, he asked Village Chief Li again.
"Uncle Li, can you borrow Wang Langzhong's medical shop? My wife has a fever, and I want to get her some medicine."
Village Chief Li's face was shaken, he was worried, he grabbed Shen Zechuan's arm and said aggressively.
"What's going on? Miss Su still has a fever. Come with me quickly and go to the doctor's shop to get some medicine."
Since Wang Langzhong left, the doctor's shop has been taken care of by Uncle Li. Wang Langzhong also drew up a prescription that he said could be used when people in the village got sick.
Although Uncle Li couldn't quite understand what he was planning, he studied it for a few days and figured it out to cure some diseases for the people in the village.
Yue'er followed Shen Zechuan all the way, looking here and there. The village had changed a lot since Brother Shen became the village chief, and there were many new and novel things that she had never seen before.
Especially the karez, she liked it the most. It was much more convenient to fetch water.
While walking, Yue'er accidentally bumped into Uncle Li's shoulder and screamed in pain.
"arrive."
The medical shop is located in a bamboo forest. The thatched hut is only the size of an entrance. It is bright and spacious, and is kept quite neatly. The green moss spreads to the steps, and the brick joints are smooth, just like an outdoor peach garden.
As soon as he entered the house, Shen Zechuan smelled the smell of herbs. Every room was wiped clean and there was no dust. It seemed that Uncle Li had taken good care of the place.
"I'll look for it to see what kind of herb it is."
Uncle Li took out a stack of paper from the slot, flipped through a few pages, and squinted at the sun to read the words.
Facing the prescription, Li Bo took out the herbs from each grid, and Shen Zechuan also looked closely at the prescription.
The prescription stated that Xiao Bupleurum Decoction was composed of Bupleurum, Pinellia ternata, ginseng, licorice, ginger, Scutellaria baicalensis, and jujube. However, after Uncle Li had collected all the medicinal materials, Shen Zechuan discovered a fatal problem.
Li Bo took Bupleurum and turned it into Ruliancao. The two medicines look similar, but fortunately they can clear away heat and detoxify. They can also treat fevers by accident.
"Uncle Li, this Bupleurum is wrong. This is Ruiliancao."
Shen Zechuan picked up the Ruilian grass in the basket and took out the Bupleurum and compared them together. Yue'er curiously came up to look at the two objects, unable to tell who was who.
"Brother Shen is so awesome! These herbs look exactly the same, I can't even tell them!"
This is easy to distinguish. You can see that compared with Bupleurum, this Ailanthus is more slender.
Uncle Li exhaled a short breath, and cold sweat broke out on his palms. The medicine he had taken these past few days was all Rulian grass. It would be bad if something went wrong!
"Oh, I am old and confused. Fortunately, Mr. Shen reminded me."
Shen Zechuan looked at Uncle Li's panic and said hurriedly.
"Shen accidentally read it in a medical book. The medicine has similar properties and is not serious. There is no need for Uncle Li to worry."
"That's good, that's good."
After grabbing the medicine, Shen Zechuan wrapped it in a piece of paper and took it back to boil the medicine for his wife. No matter what Yue'er said, she would follow and take care of Sister Su.
At this time, Su Qiu had already gotten out of bed. Her head was dizzy, as if someone was knocking on her head. Her eyes were hot and she could not see clearly.
She felt her legs and feet go weak, and looked at the ground getting closer and closer. Fortunately, Shen Zechuan rushed to catch the limp Su Qiu and held her in his arms.
"Why don't you have a good rest, madam?"
"Your clothes haven't been mended yet. I'm much better. It's okay."
Yue'er frowned, ran over quickly, helped Su Qiu sit on the bed together, and said reproachfully.
"Sister Su needs to take a good rest when she is sick. My mother-in-law said that if a sick person does not take a good rest, he will become stupid."
Su Qiu's lips became a little coloured. She was immediately amused by Yue'er's words and joked.
"You are indeed stupid enough. Don't be stupid enough to cause trouble to your husband."
"It turns out that my wife also likes to tell nonsense when she has a fever!"
Shen Zechuan lit a fire and boiled the medicine. The words lingered in his ears and refused to go away, which made people feel uncomfortable.
He secretly took out the chicken from the space again. Facing the chicken, he was at a loss. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice! He had food, but he didn't know if the food he made was edible.
"Brother Shen, are you going to make chicken soup?"
Shen Zechuan hesitantly hummed. He was unsure. If he cooked it all like this, he was afraid that he would waste the ingredients. He looked at Yue'er and thought about what he had eaten in the meantime. He shook his head as he took a bite of the cake that could break his teeth.
"Ms. sir, let me do it."
"No need, I'll let the baby girl do it."
Shen Zechuan thought of the previous baby girl's attributes and superb cooking skills. This chicken soup would be a piece of cake for her.
"Yue'er, please take care of Sister Su here while I find someone to make soup."
"I can..."
Yue'er choked on her words before she could finish her words. She thought for a while, with her cooking skills, she might be able to eat Sister Su Qiu half stupid.
Shen Zechuan brought the chickens and the vat to Yang Lingrong's house. The baby girl happened to be heating the oil in the pot. She was not tall enough, so she was standing on a small square stool, holding a spoon in her little hand to dig out the rice milk.
After Emperor E saw Shen Zechuan, he put his left hand on his knees and his right hand drooped, squatting down slightly to salute.
"Hello, sir."
After hearing the sound, the baby girl dropped the spoon and hurriedly followed Ehuang's example and bowed.
Shen Zechuan waved his hand, took the chicken to the baby girl and said.
"There's no need to be polite. We're all from the village, so just call me Brother Shen. I came here today because I wanted my baby girl to make chicken soup."
"How can this be done? The master spent a lot of money to sell me two people. This is what we two should do."
Ehuang hurriedly took the vat and murmured in his heart that it would be the worst thing for the master to buy them but not let them serve them. If even the title was changed, this would be really disrespectful!
The baby girl said nothing, took the chicken, and started cooking neatly.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind hit him. Before Shen Zechuan could react, there was a chill on his back, which penetrated his bones.
"Mr. Shen, have you forgotten me? You haven't come to see me these days."
The fragrant orchid fragrance penetrated into Shen Zechuan's collar, gently lifting every inch of skin, and penetrated into the blood.
Shen Zechuan didn't look back. Just by looking at his feet, he knew that Li Jiaojiao was here again.
"Miss Li, please respect yourself."
Li Jiaojiao pouted unhappily, gently raised Shen Zechuan's chin and said.
