Chapter 96: Miss Capital was her past identity, and now she is their comrade fighting side by side

Chen Zhaoyue thought of a military wife who went up the mountain some time ago and was accidentally bitten by poisonous insects and almost died. She planned to make an improved and enhanced version of the original anthelmintic.

The improved version of the insect repellent is more effective and the fragrance lasts longer.

She would go see if the pharmacy had the necessary herbs for the prescription. If they were not available, she could get some from the space.

After she gathered all the herbs, she would find Gao Wen and ask her to find some military wives who were good at sewing to sew some small gauze bags, and then put the herbs in them to make insect repellent sachets.

Chen Zhaoyue realized that most medicinal herbs in this era came from the wild and many rare herbs were scarce, so the prescriptions she wrote only used common and easy-to-find herbs.

At the same time, Chen Zhaoyue was also thinking that the reason why rare Chinese medicinal materials are rare is not only because of the scarcity of resources, long growth cycle or special ecological requirements, which make them difficult to cultivate artificially, but also because humans over-exploit rare medicinal materials for money, which is one of the reasons for the scarcity of medicinal materials.

Moreover, in the era she lives in, the development of science and technology has just begun, and artificially cultivating rare medicinal materials is indeed a difficult task.

However, rare medicinal materials have unique medical effects, and we should not retreat just because of the difficulty.

They can move forward through constant exploration and achieve sustainable utilization through artificial cultivation, development of substitutes and protection of existing medicinal materials.

This will prevent the patient from having no medicine available when they are really needed, thus delaying the treatment of the patient.

It seems that the artificial cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs needs to be promoted...

Chen Zhaoyue took the written prescription to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and bought enough mugwort leaves, calamus, mint leaves, and lemongrass.

There was not much realgar powder in stock, and considering the toxicity of realgar, she only put a small amount of realgar in each sachet.

There was no natural camphor in the pharmacy, so Chen Zhaoyue crossed it out from the prescription.

Chen Zhaoyue had confirmed with Gao Wen that there would be about seven people going up the mountain for field training, so she only needed to prepare medicine packs for seven people, and it would not be a problem for the medicine to last for three to five days.

Chen Zhao took a děngzi (a small precision beam scale used in Chinese medicine pharmacies to weigh medicinal materials) and accurately divided the Chinese medicinal materials needed for each sachet into seven portions. He placed each portion on a piece of straw paper and filled the table.

“Comrade Xiao Shen, is there anything I can help you with?” The round-faced nurse stood at the door of the pharmacy and asked Shen Zhaoyue if she needed help.

Chen Zhaoyue looked up and saw the uneasiness that flashed across the round-faced nurse's face.

She remembered this round-faced nurse, who was the first nurse to show kindness to her since she came to the health center.

"Really?" Chen Zhaoyue smiled at her, her moist eyes curved into crescents. "Could you please call a few more people to help me chop up all these herbs?"

Chen Zhaoyue explained, "These are the insect repellent herbal sachets I made for the soldiers who are about to go on missions. If you want the medicine to be more effective, you need to cut the herbs into smaller pieces. It's a bit of a workload for me to do all this alone. It would be bad if it affects the soldiers' missions."

Chen Zhaoyue's tone is gentle, and coupled with her smile, she gives people a gentle and easy-going feeling.

In addition, everyone knew that she had superb medical skills and she was not shy about keeping them secret. She openly taught the nurses how to stand and learn acupuncture. More and more people in the health center admired and praised her.

The label of capitalist daughter cannot cover up the halo around her, nor does it affect her dedication to the organization and the people!

Miss Capital was her past identity. Now she is an outstanding talent in their health center. She cannot be bound and confined for the rest of her life just because she is labeled.

Moreover, she can use her medical skills to help soldiers capture enemy spies. If this happened in the old society, wouldn't she be a typical Mulan?

"Okay!"

The round-faced nurse called a few people to help Shen Zhaoyue cut the herbs, and Lin Xiaomei was among them.

Lin Xiaomei entered the pharmacy and looked at Shen Zhaoyue, who was standing at the table preparing medicine, with a frown: "This capitalist's daughter is so spoiled. She even needs help cutting herbs."

"Yeah, you know I'm spoiled, so just do more work. You're keeping so much energy that you can't use up and just gossip." Chen Zhaoyue didn't even glance at Lin Xiaomei, let alone take her sarcasm to heart.

"Who are you talking about?" Lin Xiaomei glared at Shen Zhaoyue angrily: "I passed the exam to get into the health center, unlike some people who use the back door."

"Comrade Lin, your brain is not working well, how about I give you two injections?" Shen Zhaoyue didn't say that she had made great contributions to the army, but she had saved people before and captured two enemy spies. Even if she used the backdoor, it was based on her strength.

"You..." Lin Xiaomei also thought of Shen Zhaoyue's previous great achievements, and her words that she had just said "through the back door" suddenly felt a bit contradictory.

"If you are dissatisfied with me in any way, you can complain to Dean Gao or the Political Commissar."

"Don't, don't think I don't dare!" Lin Xiaomei threw the scissors in her hand onto the table with a loud bang. "You're just a capitalist lady, what are you so arrogant about?"

"Nurse Lin, please stop talking." The round-faced nurse came out to smooth things over and pulled the angry Lin Xiaomei aside. "Comrade Xiao Shen isn't idle either. She's been busy in the pharmacy all morning!"

"That's right. We have nothing to do anyway, so helping Comrade Xiao Shen cut the herbs is not only fulfilling our duties as members of the health center, but also providing logistical support for the soldiers in the army. This is what we should do."

"Nurse Lin, you can't always look at people with tinted glasses. What's wrong with Miss Capitalist? People change all the time. You're not conducive to the unity of our health center."

"Nurse Lin, you keep yelling about it, afraid that others won't know that Comrade Shen is Miss Capital. But it is precisely this pampered, arrogant and domineering Miss Capital that you are talking about who has made many contributions to our health center and brought honor to it!"

“You only saw Comrade Shen asking us to come and cut the herbs, but you didn’t see her carefully preparing the medicine kit. She even wrote the prescription herself!”

"We don't have a brain as smart as Comrade Shen, but we have endless energy. We are willing to help Comrade Shen cut herbs!"

"Comrade Shen is also selflessly teaching us medical skills!"

…

The military doctors and nurses who were called by the round-faced nurse to help automatically stood up to support Shen Zhaoyue.

However, every word they said was not exaggerated, and they were all evaluations of Shen Zhaoyue based on the actual situation.

After all, he had intentionally distanced himself from Shen Zhaoyue because of her status as Miss Capital, but after just two days of getting along with her, he felt that she was not a spoiled young lady. On the contrary, she was quite hardworking!

Lin Xiaomei was speechless after being bombarded with comments from everyone. She glared at Chen Zhaoyue angrily: "You, you have all been deceived by her!"

The round-faced nurse grabbed the ponytailed nurse who was about to have a word with Nurse Lin and said to Lin Xiaomei, "Nurse Lin, if you don't want to cut the herbs, then go out. Don't delay our progress here."

Lin Xiaomei pulled a stool and sat down: "I'm not leaving. Why should I leave?"

"Then shut up." Chen Zhaoyue took out a silver needle from somewhere and waved it towards Lin Xiaomei: "If you say another word, I will give you acupuncture."

He has been here for a long time and has done nothing but chatter. It's already hot, and the noise is even more annoying.

"..." Lin Xiaomei suddenly became like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. She stiffened her neck and looked at the silver needle in Chen Zhaoyue's hand unwillingly, her face flushed red.
