Chapter 636 5 Medicinal Drinks
"Xue Huan, I'm almost done washing, help me grind it."
"Okay, got it Miss. I'll help you dry yourself."
"No, I'll do it myself."
In the room on the second floor of the second courtyard, Jiang Fubao came out of the bathtub, dried her body, changed her clothes, walked across the balcony, and returned to her room.
The first thing she saw was Xue Huan standing beside her desk, grinding ink.
It is very hot in summer and there are many mosquitoes.
Even if I burned mosquito repellent grass and hung mosquito nets in the house, I could still hear the sound of mosquitoes from time to time.
The window next to the desk was closed.
There were two basins of ice in the room, and since I had just taken a shower, it wasn't that hot, but rather a little cool.
Seeing Jiang Fubao coming in, Xue Huan put down the ink stick in her hand and picked up the fan instead.
"Miss, it's already been ground. Please sit down. I'll bring you a cup of herbal tea. It's been very hot these days. Miss, don't get too hot. I'll have a cup too."
Xue Huan's voice was still as sweet as ever. Jiang Fubao nodded and sat down.
Even in summer, solid wood chairs are a bit cold to sit on.
Jiang Fubao pushed Xue Huan's fan away and said, "I'm not hot, fan yourself. If you're tired, go to sleep first. I'll probably have to write until midnight, so don't wait for me, be good."
"No, I want to wait for you to sleep together. Please don't chase me away." Xue Huan pouted and brought a round stool and sat next to Jiang Fubao.
She put the fan aside.
She wasn't hot, she was just worried that the lady would be hot.
"It's up to you. Since you don't want to sleep, read this medical book. Wait for another two years, and then you can follow me to the clinic."
Jiang Fubao picked up a medical book and handed it to Xue Huan.
Xue Huan was getting older. She had promised Xue Huan that she would let her stay with her when she grew up.
So Jiang Fubao plans to take Xue Huan with him next year.
Since I want to stay by her side, I must understand medicinal herbs so that I can help her.
"Okay, I'll take a look right away." Xue Huan heard that Jiang Fubao would take her with him in the future.
Overjoyed.
She, who originally didn't like reading, immediately picked up the book, straightened her back and started reading.
She placed the fan on the table.
Lying quietly.
As time passed, the two basins of ice slowly melted into water.
In the courtyard of Jiang's house, there were several lanterns hanging, which stayed lit all night long.
The servants on night watch would relight the extinguished lanterns.
Even if the clouds outside block the bright moon, you can still see the road clearly when standing on the balcony, and it won't be pitch black.
"Miss, have you finished writing? The ice has melted. Do you want to ask someone to get two basins of ice?" Xue Huan was so engrossed in reading that it took her a long time to realize that the ice in the room had melted into water.
"No, it's not that hot at night. I'm almost done writing. Are you sleepy? If you are, go to sleep." Jiang Fubao replied without raising his head.
The brush in her hand ran out of ink, so she dipped it in more ink and continued writing.
"Burning Sun Tea, boiled with ginseng, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, rose, lotus seeds, mint, rock sugar, etc. over low heat, is suitable for people with dizziness and fatigue, and can refresh the mind. Miss, is this the tea recipe you just came up with? I haven't heard you mention it before.
Ah, I haven't seen this before, Quinoa Pear Edge Tea, what a nice name, use fresh pears, dried pears, lilies, polygonatum, red dates, wolfberries, almonds, sugar cane, and licorice to boil for an hour, after taking it out of the pot, use tea as the base, and then pour it into the cup..."
Xuehuan chirped like a bird in the trees. Although it was a bit noisy, Jiang Fubao did not stop her.
It was late at night and she was feeling a little sleepy, as she still had two tea recipes to write.
Just enough to refresh yourself.
The master and servant read while the other wrote.
In the end, Jiang Fubao wrote down fifteen medicinal recipes.
Including what she sold in the clinic.
"I'm so tired." Jiang Fubao stood up and stretched.
After sitting for a long time and keeping his head down to write, Jiang Fubao felt pain in his neck and shoulders.
Xue Huan felt very distressed, and when Jiang Fubao lay on the bed, she reached out and gave him a massage.
As he was being pressed, Jiang Fubao fell asleep on his stomach.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
The sun rises earlier in summer than in winter.
While I was washing up, the sun had already climbed to the roof.
A ray of sunlight shone on Jiang Fubao's face, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.
"The weather is nice today, and it will probably be even hotter than yesterday." No one knew where the clouds at night had gone, and there was not a single cloud to be seen. Jiang Fubao said this, then stood on the balcony brushing his teeth. After washing his face, he felt completely awake.
"Xue Huan, take out my green gauze short dress. It's hot, and wearing plain clothes will make you feel calmer."
Jiang Fubao was planning to change clothes, but when he saw the pink dress on the bed, he frowned.
She gave instructions to Xue Huan.
"Okay, then I'll help you change. What do you want to wear under your skirt, miss?" Xue Huan brought three skirts and looked at Jiang Fubao.
"The one on the left," Jiang Fubao said, pointing to a light yellow pleated skirt.
The green and light yellow are a good match, and when you wear them you look like little yellow flowers just blooming in spring.
In order to match her clothes, Jiang Fubao only put a daisy hairpin on her head. She went downstairs with the booklet full of words, and when she passed by the yard, she picked a flower and asked Xue Huan to help her put it on her head.
The left one is a fake flower, the right one is a real flower.
It is not abrupt at all and complements each other, making Jiang Fubao look like a flower fairy who just walked out of the mountains.
As I entered the courtyard, I saw Butler Fang eating.
Jiang Fubao sat down.
The tactful maid immediately brought breakfast and placed it in front of her.
"Here, it's all written above. The required herbs and proportions are clearly written. Just follow the instructions. There are fifteen kinds in total. The efficacy is not as good as the ones I sell, but it can be drunk even if it is not suitable for the disease. As for customers with more serious symptoms, it is better to persuade them to see a doctor or prescribe a medicated diet recipe for them. Don't let Uncle Fang make false propaganda, lest others think that this medicine can cure diseases. If it is not drunk for a long time, it is no different from drinking sugar water." Jiang Fubao was afraid that Fang Yanheng would exaggerate, so he reminded him.
"Yes, I have noted it down. Miss Fubao didn't sleep well last night? But did you stay up all night to write this? Actually, I am not in a hurry. I can wait another half day."
Seeing that Jiang Fubao looked listless, Butler Fang asked with some concern.
"It's okay. I can take a nap in the clinic at noon. Butler Fang, is the food to your liking? My family likes to eat meat porridge in the morning, while Chang'an Town and Jiangnan like to drink sweet porridge. Can you get used to it?"
Jiang Fubao asked him while eating porridge.
"I'm used to it. It tastes good. It's my first time eating salty porridge. It has a unique flavor. It's so delicious with this fried cake. If I wasn't afraid that the master might not be able to wait, I would like to stay a few more days."
After staying at the Jiang family for a night, Butler Fang was no longer as restrained as before. His suppressed temper became more relaxed and he even started to joke.
"If you want to stay, then stay. I went to Fang's house before and stayed there for quite a while. Why don't you stay a few more days?" Jiang Fubao smiled and tried to keep him.
