ancient female doctor

Chapter 76

In just half a day, the people brought by Uncle Fu set up the frame of a firewood room, which looked rather simple but solid.

And Ah Da has already pulled out a tunnel about two feet long.The tunnel was dug out from Qingzhu's room, and the other end was under the courtyard. Ah Da said that the secret room could be dug tomorrow, and the green bricks and stone slabs could be laid in the day after tomorrow.

Apart from boiling some water, Green Bamboo couldn't help much, so he simply smoked the game in the yard and hung it in the kitchen.

When it was getting dark, Uncle Fu and his people declined Qing Zhu's lunch, and left directly, making an appointment to come back early tomorrow morning.

Not long after Uncle Fu left, Qingshan came back.

While cooking dinner, Qingzhu briefly talked about what happened this afternoon, Qingshan didn't say much, and the siblings chatted about other things casually.

After dinner, Qingshan continued to read books, and Qingzhu learned to mend clothes under the lamp, embroidering or making clothes, Qingzhu could not be counted on.You can buy new clothes, but it’s better to mend the torn clothes by yourself. Although they have some savings, they can’t just throw away the clothes when they are torn.

I don't know where Xiaobai has gone wild, anyway, he ran out to play after dinner.Qingzhu wasn't worried either, now Xiaobai was able to use the trees next to the yard to climb over the yard wall, such an ability on a little wolf cub was amazing.

After working for about half an hour, Qingzhu put down the needle and thread in his hand, went to the kitchen to boil hot water, and prepared to take a bath and go to bed.

It's a pity that Qingzhu was lying on the bed, but she couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning. Many memories crashed into her mind, which caught people off guard.

Early the next morning, the siblings still stared at the big black circle and walked out of the room.Qingzhu felt a little guilty, knowing that Qingshan was probably suffering from insomnia because of her.However, it is one thing to know some things, and it will inevitably make people a little embarrassed if they are broken.

Therefore, Qingzhu at least boiled hot water, pulled the green shirt and applied heat to the eyes, and did not cook until the eyes were no longer so swollen and painful.

For the noodle soup made in the morning, Qingzhu made a lot of noodles and prepared to steam steamed buns at noon.In any case, Uncle Fu and the others helped themselves, and they couldn't even wait for a lunch. There were too many people who couldn't cook the rice well, and they were afraid that they would end up making raw meat, so they simply chose steamed buns.

After breakfast, Qingshan went to school, Qingzhu made two pheasants and stewed them in a pot. In fact, big bone soup is the best for steamed buns, but there is no big bone soup at home, so I can only use pheasant soup instead. Time to make some stir-fries.

As soon as they put the chicken on the stove, Uncle Fu and the others came over, and after saying hello to Qingzhu, they got busy.

Uncle Fu and the others wanted to say goodbye at noon, but they couldn't stand Qing Zhu's repeated attempts to persuade them to stay, so they stayed for lunch.Steamed buns and chicken soup, which are rarely available in farmers' families, are not unusual for people like Fu Bo, but a few side dishes mixed with green bamboo are very popular.

After lunch, someone pulled a cart to the door of Qingzhu, unloaded a cart of green bricks and slabs and stacked them in the yard. After Ah Da finished digging his secret room, he could take it by himself.In addition, there are two cars that are actually brown.Brown is a rare thing in this era, and most of the raincoats everyone wears are made of coir grass. Qing Zhu was very surprised to see two carts of brown.

"This thing was found in the depths of Daqing Mountain. We call it brown skin. The coir raincoat used to keep out the wind and rain is much better than the coir raincoat made of coir grass. It is strong and durable. I had someone pull two carts. Come here, and prepare to build it on top of the firewood house, which is much better than a thatched shed." Seeing Qingzhu staring at the brown skin in a daze, Fu Bo said with a smile.

"It turns out that Daqingshan has this thing, I thought we didn't have it here." Qingzhu said with a smile.

"Yes, but this thing is in the depths of the mountain. It grows quite tall, and ordinary people can't see it. Why? Miss Qingzhu knows it?" Uncle Fu asked curiously.

No wonder Uncle Fu is curious, this palm is still rare in Darui Dynasty, especially in Ningzhou, so far only his master's people have found this, although it is not very useful, but if marching in rainy days will be so useful A coir raincoat made of brown leather would make life easier for the soldiers.

"Yeah." Qingzhu nodded, and said: "This is also called venetian turf. It can be made into venetian charcoal. It is a good medicine for astringent, hemostatic and astringent. It can treat various internal and external bleeding and diarrhea. It can be taken internally or externally."

"It turns out that this is a good medicine. Miss Qingzhu is indeed a well-known little doctor in Yongning County. Fortunately, Miss Qingzhu reminded me, otherwise we would be overkill and miss this excellent medicinal material. In this case, I ask Miss Qingzhu to forgive me. , we may have to pull this brown skin back, but please don’t worry, Miss Qingzhu, we will bring some green tiles over soon, and we will use green tiles to build this firewood house.” Hearing Qingzhu’s words, Uncle Fu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly Explain to Qingzhu, to pull these back.

"Using blue tiles to build a firewood house? Wouldn't that be too extravagant?" Although the roof of Qingzhu's house is covered with green tiles now, it is still very strange to hear Uncle Fu say that he will build her a firewood house with blue tiles. surprised.

"No, no. It should be, Miss Qingzhu has helped us a lot this time, and this old man is very grateful." As he spoke, Uncle Fu gave Qingzhu a long bow, and that posture was actually many times more sincere than the previous day.

"Uncle Fu, don't be so polite, you are trying to break Qingzhu." Qingzhu hurriedly jumped to the side, and said quickly.

"Miss Qingzhu deserves to be thanked by old people. There is a lack of medicinal materials in the army, especially the hemostatic agent. This time, with the venetian charcoal pointed out by Miss Qingzhu, I don't know how many soldiers who would have been saved due to lack of medicine. , Miss Qingzhu, you are our great benefactor." Fu Bo looked at Qingzhu and said with emotion and gratitude.

"Ah? In the army?" Qing Zhu blinked, looked at Uncle Fu and said.Although she had guessed that your son had a prominent status, she didn't expect that he was actually connected with the army, maybe he was the little general of that family.

"Uh... this old man used to serve in the army, but now he has retired and found a job in my master's mansion. Although he has enjoyed the blessing of half his life, every time he thinks of Pao Ze who was wounded and lost blood in the army, his heart aches. , so I made some mistakes, and please forgive me, Miss Qingzhu." Fu Bo knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, trying to fool him.It's a pity that he forgot a word, that is, the more you paint, the darker it becomes.

Fortunately, Qing Zhu didn't ask this question any more, and only asked: "Then, does Uncle Fu know how to make venetian charcoal?"

Qingzhu's words obviously confused Uncle Fu, his old face was slightly red, and he said with some embarrassment: "If it is convenient for Miss Qingzhu, please give me some advice."

"I don't dare to teach you, Qingzhu will tell Uncle Fu about Baiye Tan's approach." Qingzhu looked at Uncle Fu with a smile and said.If it is really related to the army, then this medicinal material is really a good medicine.

Because of the astringent effect of Baiye charcoal, its hemostatic effect is better than that of many herbal medicines, and it is almost the same as that of blood residue charcoal.If she had had this thing back then, she wouldn't have picked up half of the black hair and turned it into charcoal of blood.

"The old man is all ears." Uncle Fu looked at Qing Zhu with more respectful eyes, and more and more anticipation on his face.

Qingzhu looked at Uncle Fu, and slowly said: "The production of venetian charcoal is not difficult. Just wash the venetian husk quickly, put it in a calciner, seal the calciner, and calcine it with moderate firepower. "

"However, the temperature of calcination is not easy to control. I don't know the specific firepower and the length of time, because I have never fired it myself. Insufficient firepower and incomplete calcination will affect the potency of the medicine. If the firepower is too strong and the calcination is excessive, this The clover charcoal becomes clover ash, and it has no effect. The secret of this can only be tried more and carefully observed and recorded.”

"Then may I ask, Miss, what is considered as a successful firing?" Uncle Fu looked at the green bamboo thirsty for knowledge and asked again.

"Successful calcination will leave agglomerated lumps in the calciner. The surface of this lump has uniform pores, which can be broken when lightly tapped. Put it in a bowl and grind it gently with a porcelain spoon to form a powder. If the calcination is incomplete, what is left in the calciner is still coagulated into lumps, but the pores on the surface are unevenly distributed and of different sizes, and after being put into a bowl for grinding, some fine fibers will be left."

"As for the transition to calcination, it's simpler. There is only black ash left in the calciner, which can be seen at a glance." Qingzhu said with a smile.

"I understand, thank you Miss Qingzhu." Uncle Fu said to Qingzhu thoughtfully.

"It's nothing to do with a little effort. Besides, Qingzhu is a doctor, and he should only cherish life in this world. If someone can save his life because of this venetian charcoal, then Qingzhu will be full of joy. Speaking of which, Qingzhu would like to thank Fu Bo for being able to do so." Give me this opportunity so that I can apply what I have learned." Qing Zhu looked at Uncle Fu and said sincerely.

"Miss Qingzhu's words are very kind, and this action has solved many disasters in our army." Uncle Fu couldn't help giving Qingzhu a thumbs up, and said excitedly: "Today's doctors are all treasured with their brooms. Not to mention announcing the secret method of medicine, the prescriptions are tightly held in the hands, for fear of spreading to the outside world, compared with Miss Qingzhu, this current doctor is really... really not worthy of being called a doctor."

"For Uncle Fu said that, he put the green bamboo on the fire and roasted it. Qing Zhu doesn't want to be criticized by Senior Xinglin, so please let Uncle Fu spare Qing Zhu." Qing Zhu blinked, looked at Uncle Fu and said playfully.

"Haha, of course, this is what the old man said, and he won't spread it. Don't worry, Miss Qingzhu, whether it's your firewood shed or the cellar, including the firewood that will be brought over later, the old man will tell them to do it. It's the best. If Miss Qingzhu is not satisfied at all, she must deal with it until Miss Qingzhu is satisfied." Fu Bo laughed when he heard Qingzhu's words, and patted his chest to promise.

"Could it be that Uncle Fu was ready to deal with it earlier?" Qingzhu looked at Uncle Fu mischievously, and said.

"Hey...well...there is a difference between obeying orders and willingly." Fu Bo laughed dryly and said a little embarrassedly.

Qingzhu smiled without saying a word, but felt deeply in her heart.
