Back to ancient times to open obstetrics

Chapter 1298 Going back to Beijing (3)
"That's why it's the old lady who is the most sensible in order to teach children like you, otherwise, I would have looked down on you!" Liu Qiqiao said, slipping into Du Ruo's arms again, and gradually fell asleep.

When we returned to Du's house, it was already past the third watch. Mrs. Du refused to go to bed because she was worried about the two of them. Seeing that Du Ruo and Liu Qiqiao had returned safely, she breathed a sigh of relief and only spoke. Said: "After you left just now, I have already explained to your second uncle and second aunt that we will leave early tomorrow morning, so as not to cause any more trouble."

Seeing Mrs. Du's anxious expression, Liu Qiqiao only smiled and said, "Old lady, it's already the second day now, so why don't you leave at dawn?"

Du Ruo also comforted, "The boat won't enter the pier until early tomorrow morning, old lady, don't worry, I can go back to celebrate the New Year."

Mrs. Du only laughed with them for a while, and then asked Zhao Wangye's concubine whether the child was a boy or a girl. The three chatted for a while, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Qiqiao slept until the sun was high, while Du Ruo woke up early in the morning as before.The second old man invited Du Ruo, and the two went to the main store of Baohetang on Yudao Street.

Baohetang and Baoshantang belong to the same clan, and most of the medicinal materials sold are the same, except for a few new medicinal materials developed by Baohetang in recent years, basically there is no difference from Baoshantang.But Du Ruo found that Baohetang has a place that is worth learning from Baoshantang, that is, there are many types of finished pills that Baoshantang has.Baoshantang seldom made finished pills before, most of them were ordered by rich families, and then Baoshantang started to make pills and sent them to such families.One downside of finished medicines is that they have a short shelf life, so Baoshantang operates relatively few.

But Baohetang is different. There are various finished medicines in the hall: Sanqi Pills, Buxue Pills, Guipi Pills, and Liuwei Dihuang Pills.Du Ruo looked around with great interest, and asked Uncle Du, "Uncle Lobby, how long can this water honey pill be kept?"

"This kind of medicine can last for almost two years. This is a new technology of foreign people. When I went to Quanzhou, I saw all kinds of pills bought by foreign people. We came to the pharmacy, and he helped me develop this method, and it looks good to me."

As Uncle Du said, he brought another kind of medicine, pointed it to Du Ruo and said, "This is called glutinous rice balls, wrapped in glutinous rice paper and swallowed whole, and when the glutinous rice paper melts, the medicinal material will enter the stomach Yes, but it’s not very easy to do, the glutinous rice paper can’t be used if it gets wet, and it’s still in the research stage.”

Du Ruo just watched with relish, nodded and said, "Interesting, interesting!"

Uncle Du said again: "When I was in Quanzhou, I saw foreign people treating people. Guess what? They just cut open their palms with a red-hot knife and let them bleed. It's unbelievable..."

Du Ruo was stunned for a while, and agreed in her heart that Qiqiao's method seemed much more reliable.

Early the next morning, the half-month trip to Jinling came to an end.Although this trip has experienced a lot of bad things, but now it is finally cleared, the second old man is fine, as long as the old man is alive, at least the Du family still has a backbone.
