Chapter 113 Vinegar Turtle Shell

Taking the wrong medicine?
Seventh Po couldn’t believe it. She bought this prescription from a foreigner at a high price a year ago. After taking the decoction for the first few times, her little granddaughter’s symptoms improved significantly, so she continued to decoct her medicine every day. take.

"Tortoise shell, slightly cold in nature, sweet and salty, has the functions of nourishing yin and suppressing yang, nourishing kidney and strengthening bones, nourishing blood and nourishing the heart, etc. It is used for hot flashes due to yin deficiency, night sweats caused by bone steaming, dizziness, internal movement of deficiency wind, and impotence of muscles and bones Soft, guilty and forgetful."

Xiaoruo explained the medicinal effects of tortoise shell one by one, which was exactly the same as the introduction given by Qi Po when she showed the prescription to the genius doctor.

Only then did Qipo look straight at Xiaoruo, and said, "You know medicine? What do you mean by vinegar tortoise shell?"

Xiao Ruo remained silent, she understood that Qi Po is a fine person, this is a piece of weight to pry her mouth open.

Seeing that she was silent, Qi Po was clear in her heart and said, "As long as what you say is beneficial to my granddaughter's condition, I will help you find a suitable shop."

That's what I've been waiting for.

Taking the tortoise shell from Qipo's hand again, Xiaoruo used the tortoise shell to tap on the table twice, and the wooden table made two thuds, leaving two shallow pits on the smooth surface.

"Look, it's so hard, it's difficult to fry, and the medicinal effect is not good. The vinegar tortoise shell is the product of this tortoise shell. It is crispy and easy to crush. It is good for frying to extract effective ingredients, and it can also improve the smell and taste."

Hearing what she said was logical, and it didn't seem like she was making it up, Qi Po's heart moved secretly, but she still didn't completely believe the girl in front of her, "Since vinegar turtle shell is more effective in medicine, why didn't the clerk in the pharmacy tell me?"

"The buddy can only prescribe medicine according to the prescription. Whatever is written in the prescription, they will naturally only prep the medicine for you."

Of course, in addition to this reason, it is also because in this world, gunpowder is not valued.

The more she learned medicine from old man Cen, the more she discovered that in this world, only rare and good-quality medicinal materials were blindly pursued, and the treatment of medicinal materials was mainly based on basic cleaning and classification, which led to the gradual disappearance of many methods of processing medicinal materials.

Old man Cen is one of the few doctors who pays attention to the processing of medicinal materials. Under his guidance, Xiao Ruo learned many rare methods of processing medicinal materials.

Xiao Ruo saw that Qi Po was dubious, and said simply: "We can take the prescription to the doctor to see, and ask the doctor if vinegar tortoise shell is more effective than tortoise shell."

"Okay, you go with me, if it is true as you said, I will keep my promise to show you the shop." Qi Po squinted her eyes halfway, and said with warning: "If you talk nonsense, then don't blame me Pull you directly to the official, and sue you for murder."

Asking the little granddaughter to take care of the house obediently, Qipo took Xiaoruo to the largest Jinyuan pharmacy in West City, and asked the most experienced doctor to come and show her the prescription.

The old doctor with white hair and childlike face carefully studied Qipo's prescription, and affirmed Xiaoruo's point of view that the vinegar tortoise shell can better exert the medicinal effect of this prescription.

"Then I want ten doses of vinegar tortoise shell, wrap it up for me." It can be good for the granddaughter's illness, and Qi Po will not feel bad no matter how much money she spends, and she will buy new medicinal materials without blinking.

The old doctor said in embarrassment: "We have sold out the vinegar tortoise shell. If you want to buy again, you have to wait for three months."

It turned out that the vinegar turtle shells of Jinyuan Pharmacy were purchased from other places, and it took three to five months to transport them to Yingzhou.

They also tried to concoct vinegar turtle shells by themselves, but no matter what kind of vinegar they use, they just can't make a crispy texture, and the efficacy of the medicine can't be compared with the finished vinegar turtle shells at all.

Hearing the old doctor say that vinegar tortoise shell cannot be made, Xiaoruo laughed in his heart. They understood the processing of vinegar tortoise shell completely literally, so naturally they couldn't make it.

Helping people to the end, sending the Buddha to the west, Xiao Ruo stopped Qi Po, who was going around to other medicine shops to try her luck, and said with a smile: "I can make vinegar tortoise shell."

"Really?" Both the old doctor and the seventh lady couldn't believe it. The medicine material that the largest Jinyuan pharmacy in West City couldn't make, this seemingly weak girl in front of her actually said she could concoct it.

"Of course it's true, I just want to borrow the medicine stove from your store."

The processing of the vinegar tortoise shell is only a little cumbersome and does not take much time. With the ready-made tools, Xiaoruo is confident that it will take only a few hours to complete the processing.

The old doctor has worked in Jinyuan Pharmacy for many years, and it only takes one sentence to borrow a pharmacy. He also wondered if this girl really has the ability to shoot ammunition, so he greeted the clerk outside the cabinet, and led Xiaoruo and Qi The mother-in-law walked to the pharmacy in the backyard.

The pharmacy of Jinyuan Pharmacy has all the tools. After taking raw tortoise shells, river sand and vinegar, Xiaoruo asked the two to wait outside the room.

She started the stove first, poured water into the pot, and with a hook of her index finger, a ball of fierce fire licked the bottom of the pot.

The water in the pot boiled within a few minutes, and the raw tortoise shell was steamed in the boiling water. After the tortoise shell was saturated with water vapor, the residual meat on the edge and the shell on the back softened, Xiaoruo picked up a small razor and scraped off the excess meat little by little.

After processing the raw tortoise shells, she poured the river sand into the re-vacated medicine stove pot, and stir-fried while controlling the fire until the river sand in the pot was smooth and easy to turn, then put the clean tortoise shells in different sizes into the pot , stir fry with river sand.

Stir-fry until the surface of the tortoise shell is light yellow and the texture is crispy, take out the tortoise shell, remove the sand, and immediately put it into the prepared vinegar basin to quench it.

The hot tortoise shell was submerged in the vinegar, making a stinging sound, and a cloud of vinegar mist evaporated.

Next, just wait for the vinegar tortoise shell to cool down and take it out to dry.

After more than four hours of busy work, ten vinegar tortoise shells were finished and lay quietly in the basket.

Xiaoruo opened the door of the pharmacy and let the old doctor and the seventh woman come in to check the acceptance.

The seventh woman didn't know the medicinal materials, so she could only wait anxiously for the old doctor to check.

The old doctor walked up to the bamboo basket, and first carefully observed the vinegar tortoise shell that Xiaoruo made.

It is brown with a yellowish tint, and the cracks in the tortoise shell are clear, which is consistent with the shape of the vinegar tortoise shell purchased from the pharmacy.

Then pick up a piece of vinegar tortoise shell and break it slightly.

The tortoise shell in the hand broke with the sound, and the texture was obviously crisp.

Finally, I took a medicine bowl, put the broken tortoise shell in it, and crushed it finely, squeezed out a little powder and put it on the tip of the tongue.

Sour and salty with a hint of sweetness.

"It's vinegar tortoise shell!" The old doctor nodded affirmatively, "It's exactly the same as the vinegar tortoise shell we bought!"

Qipo was overjoyed, squeezed the old doctor away, pulled a piece of oil paper to wrap all the nine and a half vinegar tortoise shells in the basket, and even the crumbs in the medicine bowl, poured them into a small paper bag and took them away .

After finishing the vinegar tortoise shell deftly, she showed Xiaoruo her first sincere smile of the day. "Girl, today is thanks to you, old lady, I will do what I say, you come back with me, and I will find you a shop after I make the medicine."

Pull Xiaoruo on, and Qi Po goes out.

The old doctor hurriedly shouted behind them: "Hey! Wait! Wait! Girl, what's your name?"

Qipo paused and slapped her forehead, "Look at how confused I was, I almost forgot the money for the medicine in a hurry."

She took out an ingot of silver, turned around and stuffed it into the old doctor's hand and said, "You don't need to look for it, if you have any more, we will borrow the rent from the pharmacy."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Xiaoruo back and hurried home, completely ignoring the old doctor behind him still calling.

"Girl! Girl! Hey! Who cares about the money for medicine! I'm looking for this girl..."

Qi Po and Xiao Ruo both had important matters in their hearts that could not be delayed, and the old doctor's increasingly distant shouts had long been forgotten by the two of them, dissipated in the wind, and no one cared.
