Chapter 668 His return date
The price of honey is not cheap, Yeran knows that the aunt is feeling sorry for the money.

"Ma'am, scraping honey is bought as a gift, soaked in water to drink. Shaking honey is bought to refine astragalus."

She smiled and said: "Astragalus extract is a good thing, and the price at the Herbal Medicine Hall is not low. I thought that apart from frying some for Mr. Xiao, I would also take some of it to sell at the Herbal Medicine Hall."

Can astragalus not be expensive?
It takes so much honey to fry.

"Fry some to sell."

After Yin Tian left, Aunt Wu's heart was also empty: "Ran Niang, you go to the herbal shop to sell astragalus essence, remember to ask shopkeeper Lin, when will you come back?"

When Yeran's family had dinner at Zhou Yunzhu's house at noon, Zhou Hainiang called her again, saying that she was going to eat at her house on the eighth day of the lunar new year.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, the town government and many shops in the town were open.

Zhou Zecheng went to Xiaoze Town and rushed back to Xiushui Village before noon.

When he came to Zhou Hai's house for dinner, he handed over Da'e's red-sealed contract of sale to Ye Ran.

"Grandpa Zhou, shopkeeper Lin can tell. When will uncle come back?"

Seeing a pair of children staring at him eagerly, Zhou Zecheng couldn't tell the children about his visit to the thatched cottage.

"Hurry up, shopkeeper Lin said that he will come back after the fifteenth day at the latest."

"How long will it take?"

Yue'er counted on her fingers and said happily: "Today is the eighth day of the lunar new year, and it's almost here. Uncle is reluctant to part with Yue'er, so he will come back soon to eat Yuanxiao."

Hearing that Yin Tian came back after the fifteenth day, Ye Ran felt secretly happy.

Seeing Zhou Zecheng winking at her and walking under the apricot tree outside Zhou Hai's house, Ye Ran hurriedly followed.

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, he continued to ask: "Uncle Zhou, you said he came back at fifteen to coax the moon and the stars?"

"I can't hide anything from you. Doctor Wen is in charge of the opening of the herbal medicine shop today. The pharmacist said that the shopkeeper will not come back from the state capital until around fifteen."

Zhou Zecheng said embarrassingly: "I was thinking, Young Master and shopkeeper Lin both came back from the state capital, and they are acquainted, so they should come back in a carriage."

Ye Ran: "..."

What could she say, Zhou Zecheng was also kind, and couldn't bear to let Xing'er and Yue'er down.

The sun will not be strong after the new year, and the ten catties of astragalus have been dried in the sun for five or six days.

Yeran cut it into thin slices with a guillotine, and weighed it to about four catties.

After the raw astragalus slices were brought into the pharmacy, she scooped some of the shaken honey she bought from He Heizi that day and poured it into the pot.

After lighting the fire and boiling the honey slowly, switch to Wen and keep boiling slightly, and remove the foam and impurities floating on the surface.

Then add boiling water to dilute and continue refining. The honey in the pot has tortoise eyes, the color deepens, and it is scooped out of the pot.

After refining the honey, dilute it with an appropriate amount of boiling water, pour it into the astragalus slices, mix well, and let it moisten for two or three hours.

Until the astragalus has absorbed the refined honey, put the astragalus slices in the pot and stir-fry them with a slow fire until the color is dark yellow and uniform, with a little burnt spot, shiny, and the slices are not sticky, and the feeling of heaviness becomes relaxed , at this time shovel the pot.

After cooling, flip the fried astragalus essence with your hands, there is a slight rustling sound, the knots are loose, and they are loosened by rubbing gently, and there is no adhesion between the pieces.

It has been a long time since astragalus essence has been fried, and I have never made it by hand.

Stirring medicine and pharmaceuticals already seems to be a familiar feeling embedded in the bones.

The fried astragalus essence was spread out on the table in the pharmacy, and when it was cooled, Yeran packed the finished astragalus essence in a cloth bag and put it in the medicine cabinet.
