Chapter 131 The Powerful Daughter-in-law (4)
"Is the full moon so soon?" Du Ruo counted his fingers, as if the time passed quickly, the maid fetched water and asked Du Ruo to wash his hands. After drying, Du Ruo picked up a sweat towel and wiped it. After reading the post, I asked again, "Did the person sent by Lin Zhuangtou say anything else?"

Chunsheng scratched his forehead and said, "Say something else? What other things are you talking about?" He frowned and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Oh, the person who sent the post said, the person you want to meet, he also I sent a post to send it over, but I don’t know if I will come, I heard that it is going to move.”

Du Ruo knew that Liu Qiqiao's family had moved, but he didn't expect it to be a coincidence.It turned out that after he came back, he told his second uncle who was an imperial physician in the palace what he had seen and heard in Linjiazhuang and Zhaojiacun.The second master Lin is also very interested in this Liu Qiqiao, thinking that such a person must sit opposite and have a good chat, so he specially wrote to Lin Zhuangtou, asking him to bring Liu Qiqiao Please come here together.

Du Ruo thought of Liu Qiqiao's chubby little face and slender body, couldn't help but smiled, turned around and said, "Chunsheng, go to the store to buy five catties of brown sugar and three taels of angelica for me. , half a catty of jujube, half a catty of donkey-hide gelatin, and half a catty of motherwort."

Chunsheng's father was the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, so he was very familiar with these herbs, and said with a smile, "Master, what do you want these for? Aren't these all for women?"

Du Ruo glanced at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense, if you talk nonsense, I'll eat it for you, go and get it for me."

In fact, it was Du Ruo who studied an ancient medical classic in the past few days, and saw that there were some remote mountain villages in the south in the previous dynasty. When it is an ordinary snack food, it also has the effect of health care and treatment.Du Ruo met Liu Qiqiao, although he didn't get her pulse, but after reading and asking, he still managed two of the four items.Therefore, according to Du Ruo's judgment, Liu Qiqiao should have blood deficiency, and Guishui is probably not accurate.

Du Ruo built a small stove in the yard, boiled angelica, jujube, motherwort, etc. into a soup, then added brown sugar, and finally waited for all the medicinal soup to collect juice, leaving only thick juice before dividing them. Canned in porcelain jars, after it cools down, seal it with a lid.

A few little maids were watching from a distance outside, and they didn't understand what he was doing. If you want to come forward to help, he won't let him interfere, and they don't know the things planted in the yard.So I had to watch from the outside.But the smell of medicine is mixed with sweetness, it has a kind of fragrant taste.

Du Ruo poured the last bit of brown thick liquid left in the medicine jar into a porcelain bowl, and mixed it with hot water. Seeing a few little maids outside poking their heads, he beckoned them in, pointing to the water that had been diluted in the bowl. The medicinal soup said: "You all come and taste it, is this unpalatable?"

Fang Qiaoer was also among them. Seeing what Du Ruo said, she pretended to be the first to go forward, thinking that it was just to test the medicine?Take a sip and you shouldn't die.

Fang Qiaoer took a sip cautiously at first, but didn't taste any flavor, so she gritted her teeth and drank more, smacked the taste in her mouth, and said: "It's not bitter, it's sweet, but the smell of medicine is relatively strong, and there is a smell The fragrant jujube flavor is just muddy in the soup, is there something in it?"

Du Ruo nodded and said: "The muddy ones are donkey-hide gelatin. It has been ground very finely, and I'm afraid it will be a pity that it will be dumped as medicine dregs. It may affect the taste a little, but this is medicine in the first place, so it's good if it looks like medicine." .”
