Chapter 58 Gossip
Ning Xiyue enthusiastically clicked on the learning link for making mosquito bite ointment.
She was teleported to a host training class that she was very familiar with, and saw a familiar big turtle, but this turtle had a blue hat on its head and green lines were painted on its back.
"Hello, students. I am your herbal medicine preparation teacher today, Teacher Mi Yang."
Ning Xiyue picked up the tools and herbs on the table and followed the teacher's instructions step by step, learning relevant medicinal knowledge while doing so.
Teacher Mi Yanggui’s explanations are always easy to understand. Even the most obscure and difficult passages can become understandable after his explanation, allowing her to learn and remember quickly.
A small jar of plaster, about the size of a five-cent coin and about 3 ml, gradually took shape in Ning Xiyue's hands, but the consistency was not well controlled and it was a bit thin.
After finishing, Ning Xiyue scooped a little and smeared it on the red bites on her arms.
It feels cool and refreshing, very comfortable, and the itching also stops, but I don’t know how effective it is.
Having herself as the experimental subject allowed her to feel things more clearly. Ning Xiyue took out the notebook she used to study Chinese medicine and wrote down her first observation record.
[First article, Han Xincao - ointment for mosquito bites, cools down at first application, stops itching in one minute, relieves redness and swelling in ten minutes, and leaves only a red dot in twenty-five minutes...]
As she observed and recorded, Ning Xiyue discovered that the ointment she made from learning from her teacher was extremely effective, much better than the ones she bought in modern pharmacies.
It’s really a treasure for home and travel.
This class was hugely rewarding.
Ning Xiyue used the remaining herbs on the desk to make another jar of ointment. This time the ointment finally became a paste and was more effective than the last time. She was a little reluctant to display such a good medicine in the study library as a check-in exhibit.
The main thing is that there is no simulation room for her to practice Chinese herbal medicine, so she can’t take advantage of the free materials and make medicine.
"Ding, the host can take one copy of the learning product made in the Chinese herbal medicine class away. Note: If the host wants to take more copies away, he can exchange them with herbs. A 3ml bottle of plaster can be exchanged for four Han Xin grasses."
"Exchange, exchange with the four I planted in the space." Ning Xiyue suspected for a moment that Tongzi was attracted by the four unique medicinal herbs she planted. Just now, four herbs could be exchanged for one jar.
But she was very happy. There were plenty of Han Xin grass on the mountain. If she made it herself, she would not only need the herbs, but also other supporting materials, which she did not have. Overall, she made a profit.
"Ding, the exchange is successful, the host can take it away when he leaves."
This is the biggest difference between Chinese medicine class and weaving class.
Ning Xiyue looked at the two jars of plaster she had made and muttered to herself:
"Keep the thinner part of the first can for your own use, and send the other can to my second brother when it's empty. My second brother is the most prone to mosquito bites, and I don't know how he survived in the countryside this year. He needs to go to the mountains to dig up more herbs and plant them. Exchange more for backup, and find some other herbs to see if they can light up the fire."
"By the way, Tongzi, what are the conditions for me to light it up?" She lit it up by accident this time, and she didn't know which conditions were triggered. She had some guesses in her mind that it might be related to Li Xiuxiu.
"Ding, the host can check it in the lower right corner of the picture of Han Xincao in the Chinese Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book after exiting the learning classroom."
Ning Xiyue put away the two small bottles of ointment and exited the study space, returning to the simulated classroom for weaving exercises. Looking at the Han Xin Sketch Atlas page in front of her, she saw a very small view button in its lower right corner.
After clicking, a line of text pops up.
[Trigger conditions:
1. Studying the contents of this page has been achieved.
2. Planting two herbs has been accomplished.
3. Saving one patient has been achieved. 】
Seeing this, Ning Xiyue turned to every page she had studied and found that there was a view button in the lower right corner of each picture, and the triggering conditions behind each herb were similar, with only some minor changes.
Now Ning Xiyue had a clear idea in her mind. She could first pick out the herbs she needed to study and then light them up. The other less commonly used ones could be put aside and studied slowly later.
With a simulation room for homework preparation, she has plenty of time to study.
I have to say this loophole is really good. She can do anything with it, saving a lot of time.
Ning Xiyue made a study plan for every night before leaving the simulation room.
From now on, she won't have to deal with these things anymore. She just needs to come in every night and study according to the form. After studying, she can do other things or go to sleep.
Only after planting the cherries did Ning Xiyue leave the space.
…
The second day of work was no different from the first, except that because of what happened yesterday, there was an especially lot of gossip today.
Whenever she had free time, Ning Xi would gather with the group of aunts from yesterday to listen to gossip. Those aunts completely treated Ning Xiyue as one of their own and would pull her along to gossip. When they were gossiping and saw that Ning Xiyue was not there, they would specially call out to her and wait for Ning Xiyue to leave before they started talking about the story.
For example, when Ning Xiyue was called over, Aunt Liu, who lived near Wu Xiuli and Li Jiandang's home, started talking about explosive gossip again.
"Let me tell you something important. Wu Xiuli was locked up at home by Wu Laogen yesterday and was not allowed to go out. Guess what happened next."
Aunt Zhang was anxious: "I don't know, please tell me quickly and don't keep me in suspense."
Ning Xiyue shook her head blankly, with an expression of eagerness to hear the result on her face, and looked at Aunt Liu with sparkling eyes.
As a basic quality of a spectator, it is to cooperate with gossipmongers to satisfy their little thoughts when necessary.
Aunt Liu saw everyone shaking their heads and urging her to come. She enjoyed the feeling and smiled as she continued to whisper:
"This morning I saw Li Cuihua and Matchmaker Wang enter the house. After a long time, Matchmaker Wang came out with a big smile on her face. When she stood at the door, she said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find someone far away" before she left. I was thinking that Li Cuihua wanted to find a man for Wu Xiuli and wanted to marry Wu Xiuli far away to avoid any more trouble."
Aunt Zhao curled her lips, not thinking it was Li Cuihua's idea: "I think it was Wu Laogen's idea. I guess she was scared by what the captain said yesterday. After all, her Wu Xiuli has done this more than once or twice. If she doesn't marry far away, she might make trouble again."
Ning Xiyue nodded in agreement. From what happened yesterday, she knew that Wu Laogen was the head of the family. Everyone in the family was afraid of him, so such a big thing could only be his idea.
"If she really gets married, I think Wu Laogen will have to lock up Wu Xiuli until the day of her wedding. Otherwise, with Wu Xiuli's noisy temper, we will have a lot of trouble to watch." Aunt Qian pouted and looked like she was going to wait and see.
Well, Aunt Qian has a point.
The aunts all expressed their opinions. Aunt Liu looked at Ning Xiyue who nodded silently: "Xiyue, what do you think?"
Four pairs of eyes looked at Xiang Ning Xiyue, waiting for her answer.
Aunt Liu's words reminded Ning Xiyue of the classic line, "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"
Ning Xiyue suppressed her smile and cleared her throat with a cough: "The aunts are right. We can either wait for the wine or wait for the next show."
Aunt Zhang slapped her thigh excitedly: "Yes, that's what I said. That's the truth."
"Speak softly! Don't let Li Cuihua hear it." Aunt Liu was so scared that she covered Aunt Zhang's mouth with her hands. She looked around and was relieved when she found that Li Cuihua didn't notice them.
After discussing this gossip, everyone went back to work.
After being busy for a while, Ning Xiyue was called by Aunt Yang Liu: "Xiyue, I have to go back to my mother's house again this afternoon. Do you want to come with me to see your brother? You will know the way next time."
Ning Xiyue smiled and said, "That's great. Thank you, Auntie. I will ask for leave later. I'll trouble you to take care of me in the afternoon."
