Chapter 262 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (12)

 Too careless!

 The cold granules of later generations are still a little sweet even if they are labeled as sugar-free.

 Speaking of which, do people these days have such a keen sense of smell?

 You didn’t drink it, but you can smell the sugar just by smelling it?

 The family members of the patient thought that Xu Yin put sugar in the soup because she was afraid it would taste bitter, so they kept thanking her.

Erlang and Sanmei also secretly looked at him with confused looks.

“Sister-in-law, did you use the candy from the dowry?” Erlang couldn’t help but ask in Xu Yin’s ear.

The little guy looked at the earthen pot in which the medicine was boiled with envy: "People who drink medicine are so happy!"

 Xu Yin’s face was expressionless: “…”

 The granules were completely dissolved in the boiling water, and Xu Yin distributed the medicine to the patients who were exposed to rain and cold.

"One bowl for each person. They may sweat after drinking the medicine. Make a handkerchief with warm water and wipe their bodies. Don't let the fever rise. I'll boil it again tomorrow morning and drink two or three bowls. Once the fever is completely gone, they should be fine. ."

 Everyone thanked her gratefully and went back to take care of the patients with the medicine.

As soon as Xu Yin turned around, she saw Erlang and Sanmei spitting out the medicine residue with their little faces wrinkled.

 “What are you two doing?”

 “Brother, this medicine tastes so weird! It doesn’t even smell sweet.”

　　　…”

She was worried that someone would come over to look at the medicinal residue in the earthen pot, so after pouring out the granules, she left a packet of tartary buckwheat tea stalks in it.

These two little guys really dug up the dregs of the medicine and ate it.

Perhaps they saw them spitting out the medicine residue with bared teeth and disgust, so the others stopped looking here curiously.

Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth, did she have to thank them for unintentionally cooperating with her to act out a story?

He disposed of the medicine residue in an angry and funny manner, and fed a fruit-flavored glass ball candy into their mouths.

The two boys’ eyes widened instantly.

 “Shh—” Xu Yin winked at the two of them, “Stop talking and rest against the wall while my brother prepares dinner.”

 After other victims settled down, they also took out their rations and prepared to cook.

 But there are only two fires in a temple, one in the temple and one under the eaves.

 There are so many people waiting to use fire.

Every family said that their family has a large population, old and young, and they are all waiting to eat.

 In comparison, Xu Yin, who has only two children, has the smallest population.

She touched her nose and was about to retreat, but she didn't expect to be pushed in front of the fire by a big man:

“Little brother, you have provided us with the herbs, but we have no ability to repay you now, so you should use the fire first.”

 Others also claimed so.

Xu Yin was not polite and simmered a jar of millet, red bean and sweet potato porridge. After it was cooked, she wrapped it in a cloth and carried it back to her corner.

The man who helped her get the fire just now came over with two hard-boiled eggs in leaves, insisting on giving them to Xu Yin.

“The day I first arrived in Dongxuan Mansion, I bought two bird’s nests. But there are many babies at home, so these two are the only ones left. Share them and try them out.”

Then, he rubbed his hands, and an embarrassed blush appeared on his dark face: "Well, little brother, when you make the medicine tomorrow morning, can I ask you for a bowl? My son has been frail and sick since he was a child, so I have to protect him from the world. The rain and rain gear were all put outside. When it rained, he put a raincoat on him, and the child's mother used an umbrella to protect him. Finally, he didn't get wet, and he didn't have a fever, but his face didn't look good, so..."     Xu Yin didn't After he finished speaking, he responded: "Okay, you can bring a bowl to serve it when it's ready tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, little brother!" The man bowed to her gratefully, "My name is Chen Mancang, and they all live in the same village as me. From now on, little brother, just give me instructions."

 “It’s not easy being out, so please take care of each other, no need to be polite.”

Others may have asked for a bowl of soup and medicine after seeing the man with just a few words, and they also came over regularly.

Even if no one at home is feeling unwell, I still think it’s good to drink a bowl of it as a preventive measure.

 It’s free anyway, if you don’t drink it, it’s nothing. If you get really sick, you’ll still have to pay for a doctor to prescribe medicine.

 “We don’t have many herbs at home!” Erlang suddenly said.

Xu Yin touched his head, took over his words and said:

"Indeed, I don't have many herbs with me. The main ingredients can still last for a while. The auxiliary ingredients that consume a lot will be gone after frying for at most seven people. Otherwise, please identify these auxiliary ingredients. , help pick some up as soon as it stops raining, and I’ll fry them for you.”

As she spoke, she took out a handful of herbs, including isatis root, honeysuckle, burdock, plantain, platycodon, bupleurum, mint and other common herbs.

 It can also be used to withstand wind and cold if you decoct it directly and take it, but the effect is not as fast as that of Chinese patent medicines.

If you really want to drink a bowl of prevention, she is willing to help. But it does not include those who don’t want to pay and just want to take advantage.

Chen Mancang was the first to step forward and took one or two plants of each herb, saying that he would dig them if it didn't rain tomorrow.

Xu Yin thought for a while and added: "If you find any herbs you don't recognize, you can pick them back. Although I am not a doctor, I have researched on herbs and can help you identify them."

"With the words "Little Brother", I feel bolder. I'm not sure if I can use it. I'll dig it out first." Chen Mancang smiled and cupped his hands.

Xu Yin asked for fresh herbs in exchange for the soup, which made half of the people shrink back.

Herbs grow on the mountains. There are many dangers on the mountains. Who wants to go?

Since no one in the family is sick, it’s just a bowl of free medicine, so forget it if you don’t drink it.

 But there are still half of the people who think the same as Hanzi.

Why don't you just go up the mountain and dig some herbs? My little brother said that no matter whether you recognize them or not, he can identify them when you dig them up, so there's nothing to worry about.

Even thinking about digging out as much as possible, trying to let everyone in the family drink a bowl of soup and medicine, which can be used to treat illnesses and protect themselves when not sick.

The heavy rain finally stopped in the middle of the night. Early the next morning, Xu Yin opened her misty eyes and heard Erlang say that Chen Mancang's group had returned from digging herbs in the mountains.

“Little brother, can you see if these can be used?” Chen Mancang was sweating profusely while unloading the herbs under the eaves. Seeing Xu Yin coming out, he wiped his sweat and asked.

　　It was difficult to walk on the mountain road after the rain. He slipped several times, and some of his companions almost fell into a trap set by a hunter.

 Fortunately, there was no danger in the end, and everyone who went came back with a large bundle of herbs.

Xu Yin turned over the pages, and suddenly, a plant named "Wind Cold Grass" lit up one of the illustrations.

She was overjoyed and asked Chen Mancang and others to put the herbs under the eaves of the temple: "You go and have breakfast first. I will fry the medicine for the person who had a fever last night, and then I will sort out what you dug."

As soon as he finished speaking, the family members of the patient who drank the decoction last night came over happily and said: "Little brother hero, my boss's fever has gone away! Thank you for the decoction! Thank you very much."

Other families also said that the patients' fevers have subsided, but the elderly and the young are weak and cannot recover as quickly as the head of that family.

But this is also very remarkable. A bowl of decoction relieved the fever and cleared the mind.

On the contrary, some people, who had a good sleep yesterday, developed cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and dizziness.

 Including Chen Mancang's son, he woke up complaining of sore throat and eyes, stuffy nose, chapped lips, and pale face.
