Medical Immortals come from the future

Chapter 114 Toss
It has been more than four days since I returned to Mei Mansion last time.

But even if he came back last time, he just changed his body and clothes and drank a few mouthfuls of chicken soup cooked by Ling Ruyin. He didn't say a few words, and went out with a few medical books after staying for less than two hours.

Mei Ruotian suddenly felt that what she did was really a jerk, bringing Ling Ruyin back, but leaving her alone in this empty "home", how uncomfortable it would be for her as a girl.

Feeling guilty, he opened the door and entered his mansion. He thought it would be a very cold home, but it was surprisingly lively!
Not only did he see the maids running back and forth, but he also smelled a strange fragrance before reaching the inner courtyard.

"Cuihuan, what are you doing?" He called to stop a little maid who was rushing past with a small sack.

The little servant girl raised her head, and seeing that it was Mei Ruotian, she couldn't help being startled, and quickly bowed to her: "Master, it's you who came back? Cuihuan is not good, it almost ran into you."

"It's okay, you can get up, you don't have to do that." Mei Ruotian waved her hand, "I'm asking you, what are you doing? What is this sack in your hand?"

Mei Ruo has always been gentle by nature, and he is not a master who will put on airs for his servants. On the contrary, he has never shown any shame to the servants in the mansion, and he is very equal in speaking and doing things, so the maids and servants in the mansion have always been respectful. Respect him, respect him like a master, but don't flinch in front of him, and generally say what you want.

Especially the young maid, who has always regarded him as an object of worship, always regardless of age.

"Young master, you haven't come back for several days, our mansion is very lively recently!" After the initial panic when seeing him suddenly, Cuihuan has automatically switched back to the plain mode.

"Oh, how lively?"

"Go and have a look and you'll know! It's Miss Qing'er, she's so fun, she taught us how to play furballs, and also taught us how to make donkey-hide gelatin. Everyone has something to do these days!" Cui Cui Huan looked very excited, "Look, I'm going to buy this!"

Mei Ruotian looked at the contents of the sack, and it turned out to be more than a dozen donkey skins!
"Donkey-hide gelatin? Do you think you are making donkey-hide gelatin?" He was decisively surprised.

What is donkey-hide gelatin?
A homologous jelly made from donkey skin by decocting and concentrating. It was first recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and listed as top grade. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that donkey-hide gelatin is sweet, nourishes the liver and kidney meridians, can nourish blood, stop bleeding, nourish yin and moisten dryness, and is used for blood deficiency, chlorosis, dizziness, palpitations, etc., and is a good product for nourishing blood.

As a doctor, how could Mei Ruotian not know Ejiao?In addition to the efficacy, he also knows the method of making donkey-hide gelatin, which is not an ordinary trouble.

"Yes, Miss Qing'er moved an open space in the inner courtyard, set up a pot, and taught everyone how to make donkey-hide gelatin!" Cuihuan replied with a look of admiration.

My God!Mei Ruotian felt that she really underestimated Miss Yasha's tossing ability.

"Master, do you want to go and have a look? The donkey-hide gelatin made by Miss Qing'er is so good!"

"Well, I'm going to change clothes, and then go." Mei Ruotian said thoughtfully, "By the way, where is Miss Ling?"

"Miss Ling, she went out to buy with the old housekeeper and Mama Lian." Cuihuan replied honestly.

"Oh, I see." Mei Ruotian waved her hand, "Go and do your work."

"Hey, I'm leaving then, young master, remember to come and have a look later!" The little maid smiled brightly, and she couldn't wait to slip away with her sack in her arms.

Mei Ruotian stood there watching her figure walk away, smiled warmly, and decided to change clothes first.

……

"Hey, Xi'er, you're wrong, you should have washed the iron plate again, wiped it clean, poured sesame oil on it, and then glued it!"

"Junjun! Pay attention to your hands, don't get burned! Be careful!"

"Guozi, your glue is too thick, you have to move fast and pour it hard to make it even..."

"Oh, it's ready here, quickly bring the sesame oil, we can stop the fire and let the glue come out!"

On the other side, in a large open space, four or five large pots were set up. Under the pots were temporary small stoves built with stones, burning firewood and charcoal. of liquid.There were about a dozen girls, some were adding firewood, some were wiping the sweat from their brows while stirring the liquid in the hot pot with an extra-large iron spoon, some were doing other things, they were just too busy anyway Happy.

Not only did Sima Qing have to do it herself, she also supervised their work from time to time and reminded them loudly.

Cooking donkey-hide gelatin is not an easy task.

First, immerse the donkey skin in clean water for about two to three days to soften it, then take it out, scrape off the donkey hair, cut it into small pieces, wash it with clean water, put it in boiling water and cook for about a quarter of an hour until the skin rolls up. Take it out, put it into another covered pot, add water until the donkey skin is submerged, and cook for about three days and three nights, take it out when the juice is thick, add water and cook again, and repeat this several times until most of the gelatin has been dissolved .

Next, filter the resulting juice with a fine copper wire sieve, add a small amount of alum powder to the filtrate, stir, and let it stand for several hours. After the impurities are precipitated, collect the upper layer solution and heat it to concentrate.2 hours before the glue is released, two things called "flavoring agents and flavoring agents" are added.

In the future world where Sima Qing lives, in fact, the traditional handicraft Ejiao is basically no longer made. Either Ejiao is produced with high-tech equipment and various chemical materials are added in it, or no one sells it at all, because In that era, people could find countless special western medicines that could replace donkey-hide gelatin, so the high-quality medicinal materials like donkey-hide gelatin, which took time and effort to produce, were gradually lost.

The reason why Sima Qing still knows the authentic method of making donkey-hide gelatin is that apart from learning from some ancient medical books, it is also because in his previous life, his Lin family was one of the few medicine merchants in China who insisted on making donkey-hide gelatin by hand!As the heir of the Lin family, Sima Qing was naturally influenced by many.

However, the set learned by the later generations is not all applicable here, because even if the later generations stick to the traditional manual cooking method, they cannot completely achieve "pure natural", such as some utensils, and some ingredients. Well, things with a little chemical substance like "flavoring agent, flavoring agent" can't be found here, so Sima Qing had to find something else to replace it.

She has no choice but to use rice wine, sugar, pork fat and other common things to replace the "flavoring agent". She tried it a few times and found that the effect is really good, definitely better than those chemical ingredients Much better!
"Miss Qing'er, how did you sing that song? I'll teach you how to sing it again!" A little maid sat in front of the stove, sweating profusely, and said with a smile while stirring a pot of translucent glue.
