"I couldn't use it before, but now I have the chance, so I have to hurry up. But this is more difficult than I thought, and the progress is very slow. So far, I have only completed one tenth or one twelfth of it."
Shen Yizhi secretly praised this, isn't this the contemporary Li Shizhen? There is no encyclopedia of medicinal herbs in this era, and Zhong Wuqi is probably the first person who wants to do this and put it into action.
If it is accomplished, it will be a great thing that will benefit the present and future generations.
She admired him very much and wanted to do her part.
"If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to ask."
Zhong Wuqi did not refuse, "Wuqi was thinking the same thing."
On the way, the two discussed the compilation of the "Compendium of Medicinal Materials".
In modern times, Shen Yizi has a private library with three floors, which contains classics from all over the world, most of which are medical books and pharmacopoeias. She has collected all the books available on the market and studied them thoroughly.
Therefore, she has full say in the compilation of the pharmacopoeia.
Zhong Wuqi often felt as if he had suddenly realized something when he listened to her talk. Some of the medicines she mentioned were things he had never heard of before.
I wanted to take out a pen and paper to write it down on the spot.
Along the way, the two of them had a heated discussion, but gradually they fell behind.
Qing Bao and the others ran to the front.
Cui Xi followed them closely, fearing that a few people would get lost.
When they arrived at the location Shen Yizhizi mentioned, Qing Bao and the others didn't see the tavern at all.
Several people searched separately, but still couldn't find it.
Cui Yue ran to Shen Yizhi and said, "Sister Zhizhi, we didn't see the wine shop you mentioned."
Zhong Wuqi said, "I heard that the owner of this tavern has a very strange temper. Whether to open or not depends entirely on his mood. If he doesn't want to open, then no one can find the location of the tavern. It seems that we are not lucky today. He happened to be in a bad mood."
Shen Yizhi: Bullshit, that guy must be drunk and hasn’t sobered up yet.
"You guys come with me."
She knew the owner of the tavern very well. After all, they used to drink and get into trouble together.
The location of the tavern is actually right in front of us. The reason why no one can see it is that it is obscured by the formation.
Led by Shen Yizhi, an acquaintance, the group successfully passed through the formation, and a two-story bamboo building appeared before them. A wine flag was hung on the bamboo pole on the top of the building, fluttering in the wind.
Outside, there was a bamboo fence enclosing a yard of moderate size. Inside, a few big white geese were holding their heads high and leisurely patrolling their territory.
When he saw Shen Yizi and his gang, he immediately turned his neck and rubbed his webbed feet on the ground, looking ready to attack at any time.
Cui Yue said: "These big white geese look so fierce."
The big white geese seemed to understand and rushed over, cackled, their long necks and flat bright red beaks, shoveling forward like bulldozers.
Shen Yizi was not at all panicked, and scattered a handful of spiritual rice like a fairy scattering flowers.
With food in front of them, the white geese's attack pace was disrupted. After hesitating for a while, they decided to eat it first as a sign of respect.
The big white goose, which is busy pecking at rice, naturally has no time to peck at people.
Shen Yizhi and his men successfully passed the white goose cordon and entered the bamboo building.
A strong smell of alcohol hit me in the face.
But I didn't see a single person.
Shen Yizhi walked behind the counter and, as expected, the owner of the tavern, Sima Xiao, was sleeping soundly with a jar of wine in his arms. There were some drops of wine on his chin, which was covered with a beard as thick as weeds.
After all these years, his habits remain the same.
How do you wake up an alcoholic? By bringing out better alcohol, of course.
Shen Yizhi took out a jar of sorghum wine that had been added to Jiuquan at the beginning of brewing.
This wine has been buried in space for nearly a year, and the wine has become a semi-viscous wine paste, as transparent as amber. If you want to drink it, you have to add water or lighter wine to mix it.
Otherwise, if you drink one glass directly, you will get drunk to death.
But this kind of high-proof liquor is exactly Sima Xiao's favorite.
In his opinion, other flower wines and fruit wines were not strong enough! Shen Yizhi opened the wine jar, and a mist of wine spread out instantly. If she had not switched from external breathing to internal breathing in time, she would have been hit by the mist of wine and fell down.
In the lobby, Cui Yue couldn't stand the smell of alcohol, so she took Qing Bao and others to the yard to play with the big white geese.
Sima Xiao shrugged his nose and sniffed the jar of wine in Shen Yizi's hand without opening his eyes.
Shen Yizi stepped back with a wicked smile, hooked him and slowly crawled out from behind the counter, while using the photo stone to record the whole scene.
Hahaha, I wonder what expression Sima Xiao will have when he wakes up and shows it to him! It’s funny just thinking about it.
After the temptation was almost over, Shen Yizhi sealed the wine jar. Sima Xiao woke up immediately and looked around: "Where's the wine? Where's the wine?"
Shen Yizhi looked at him and said with a sigh, "Old Xiao, it's only been four years since we last met. How come you've become so sloppy? You look more than ten years older."
Sima Xiao is actually not old, he is not even thirty yet, but he is only eight or nine years older than Shen Yizi.
However, when they first met, they often bickered and even gave each other "nicknames".
Sima Xiao is the old Xiao and Shen Yizi is the little girl.
When they met, he didn't call each other by name, but called her "Lao Xiao" and "Xiao Ya" on purpose, deliberately making fun of her.
When they met again, the offensive gene in Shen Yizi became unprecedentedly active, and he started by insulting Sima Xiao.
She was still waiting for Sima Xiao to retort, but he just stared at her blankly for a while, then rushed over and hugged her legs: "You are so heartless. You left for four years. I was so tired waiting for you."
Shen Yizhi: “…”
Cui Xi and Zhong Wuqi, who had watched the entire process, said: "..."
"Pinch me." Sima Xiao stretched out his arm in front of Shen Yizhizi.
He still couldn't believe that Shen Yizhi appeared in front of him like this. He thought he might be drunk and hallucinating, or dreaming.
Shen Yizhi pinched him hard without any mercy.
Sima Xiao screamed in pain.
Almost jumped up.
However, this also confirmed that the person in front of me was real and not just my imagination.
Thinking of his current unkempt appearance, Sima Xiao ran upstairs at lightning speed.
Cui Xi was a little startled by his unconventional behavior (madness), and stared blankly in the direction where he disappeared.
Shen Yizhi waved his hand and asked them to sit down. "Don't worry about him. He is just like that."
