Chapter 139 Chinese Medicine Workshop

In the Chinese medicine workshop, Bai Qiao was worried about a pile of medicinal materials. Why was there no way to make them both effective and suitable for oral administration?

She and her master tried many methods, but either the medicine was not effective enough or the method was wrong, and it was always a little short of the mark.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, we are here to see you!" The voice arrived before Juanjuan arrived.

As soon as Bai Qiao heard her voice, she looked towards the courtyard gate.

The sound arrived before the person arrived. I wonder if the lady is feeling better now?

As soon as I came to my senses, I saw the little girl running in from the gate. Her little face was a little thinner than before, but looked pink and white.

He is in good spirits and seems to be in better health.

"Miss, are you feeling better?" Bai Qiao looked her up and down.

"Okay!" Juanjuan looked at her with a smile.

"If they are not well, I dare not take them out." Madam Si smiled and looked at Bai Qiao: "I heard that you were also sick. Are you better?"

"Madam, I'm fine now. I was planning to visit the young lady at the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come here first." Bai Qiao worked so hard because of this cold.

She really wanted to go back and take care of Juanjuan, but she didn't have any skills now, and she might not be able to take good care of her if she went.

If she could learn medicine well and return soon, she would definitely be able to take good care of her.

Madam Si saw that she had lost some weight, but was still very energetic. You guys play in the yard, I'll go see Doctor Huai.

Bai Qiao and the other three sat on chairs in the yard, with the prepared medicine on the table.

Juanjuan wrinkled her nose as she looked at Yaoyao on the table: "Sister Qiaoqiao, what are you doing?"

"I'm studying how to make the powder. Miss, I think you don't like the taste of these medicines. I'll put them away now." Bai Qiao said as she was about to get up to collect the herbs on the table.

"Bubble bath, boil once and boil twice, boil into syrup, bake into small cakes, add sweet sugar and grind into small powder, drizzle it, and put it into small bags."

The curly little mouth murmured something like a nursery rhyme, which made Baiqiao pause in her outstretched hand.

She hadn't realized what she was saying yet, but she thought it was quite interesting. After putting the herbs away, she sat next to Juanjuan again and said, "Miss, tell me the ballad you just sang again!"

Juanjuan smiled and recited it again. It didn't sound difficult to remember and people could remember it after just one time, but why did it sound a little strange?

Bai Qiao always felt that the meaning of this ballad had some other use: "Miss, what is the use of this ballad!"

"These ballads were all made up by Juanjuan. She has made up others before, but they are all very interesting." Si Jinchen got the general idea but did not point it out.

"So that's how it is. However, the songs composed by the young lady are quite interesting and easy to remember." Bai Qiao didn't think much about it.

Si Jinchen looked at Juanjuan with a smile: "Sister Qiaoqiao, remember it and read it to Grandpa Huai. It will be a fun thing to do. Maybe it can help you relax."

"Well, Master has been busy researching the granules lately. I see him frowning every day. Now that you're here, he should be able to take a break."

Bai Qiao didn't think much about it, but still agreed with a smile.

She took her three children to play cat's tuck in the yard, where there wasn't much to play with.

All we could find were some ropes, but that was enough for four people to play with.

Si Jinchen and Juanjuan had never played cat's tuck before, and they looked at the two thin ropes she was holding with curiosity.

"Are you going to play cat's tuck?" Ma Yang understood at a glance.

"Xiaoyang, can you do it?" Bai Qiao looked at him and asked.

"Yes, there wasn't much to play with at home before, so these were the only things I could play with." Ma Yang took a rope and tied the two ends together into a knot.

"Brother, what is cat's tangle?" Juanjuan turned to look at Si Jinchen.

Si Jinchen shook his head: "I haven't played it either."

"Let's play first. Master and Miss, take a look first. This is very easy." Bai Qiaoshou deftly turned the rope into a pattern.

"Hey! It turned into a pattern." Juanjuan's pretty big eyes widened.

Ma Yang picked up a few threads from the rope in her hand, and after Bai Qiao let go, the pattern on the rope changed again.

This time even Si Jinchen lost his composure: "It's a five-pointed star."

"Look!" Bai Qiao nimbly turned the five-pointed star into a bridge.

"Wow!" Juanjuan's eyes were full of stars: "Sister, teach Juanjuan."

She was a little anxious to learn it immediately.

"Okay, I will teach Juanjuan now, and let Xiaoyang teach the young master." Bai Qiao took another rope, tied a knot, and taught Juanjuan step by step.

The chubby little curly hands held the rope and followed Baiqiao step by step.

Now her little hands are still a little clumsy and her chubby hands are relatively small, so the rope will easily fall apart.

She struggled angrily with the rope on her hand.

"Don't be impatient, let's take it slowly." Bai Qiao smiled and taught her slowly. Seeing that her little hands were not flexible, she helped her put the rope on her other hand.

Juanjuan looked at the first figure in his hand and immediately shouted happily: "Brother, look, Juanjuan can flip the flower."

She proudly showed him the flower rope in her hand.

Si Jinchen immediately let go of his hand and destroyed the pattern on the rope: "Juanjuan is so amazing, my brother hasn't even learned it yet."

He looked at the pattern in Juanjuan's hand with some annoyance.

"Juanjuan will teach her brother when she learns it." Juanjuan did not forget to comfort Si Jinchen.

Just now, Juanjuan had her back to Si Jinchen and did not notice that Si Jinchen had already learned it.

However, neither Bai Qiao nor Ma Yang intended to say anything. Since the young master had chosen not to do it, there was no reason for them to meddle.

After Juanjuan learned the first pattern, she started to learn the second pattern with full confidence.

Si Jinchen smiled as he watched her having fun, then he picked up the rope, turned his back to him and began to study some new patterns, wanting to see if he could weave other patterns.

This is also a brain-stimulating game, and he himself likes the feeling of exploring the unknown.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Si prepared to take her three children back home.

"Bai Qiao, come back when you have time. If you don't, learn from your master. He is a rare and good Chinese medicine practitioner."

"Madam, Baiqiao knows and will learn from Master seriously." Baiqiao answered seriously.

Madam Si turned to look at Doctor Huai and said, "Don't be so anxious. Sometimes unexpected success can lead to great results. Pushing too hard may not be a good thing. You should relax a bit."

"Okay, you've been a little crazy lately. It's time to relax and think about it again." Doctor Huai touched the heads of the three children.

"Come and play whenever you have time. You can come whenever you want."

"Okay! Goodbye, Grandpa Huai!" The three children waved goodbye to him.

After Bai Qiao sent them off, she went to the pharmacy to find Doctor Huai: "Master, I just heard an interesting nursery rhyme from the young lady. Would you like to listen to it?"
