Chapter 86 The Fermented Rice is Ready



Throughout the journey, Si Yan discussed medical techniques with Ning Huan. Si Yan discovered that Ning Huan had unique insights in many areas, which could even be described as ingenious.

He never imagined that the medicinal herbs Ning Huan mentioned could be combined to make pills to treat illnesses.

Si Yan and Ning Huan stopped their discussion only when the carriage reached their doorstep.

Si Yan sat alone in the carriage, recalling the medical techniques that Ning Huan had just discussed with him. Gradually, a bold idea formed in his mind.

He wanted to expand his cooperation with Ning Huan.

As soon as Ning Huan got off the carriage, Madam Pang chased after her and asked, "Huanhuan, how was it? What did you do at the clinic?"

Just now, when Ning Huan was treating Madam Yu, she accidentally got bloodstains on her clothes and didn't wash them off. Pang Shi, who was nearby, followed the smell of blood and discovered the clothes with a lot of bloodstains.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Girl, why are you covered in so much blood! Where are you hurt? Does it hurt?"

Seeing how anxious Madam Pang was, Ning Huan quickly explained, "Mother, I saved a pregnant woman who was having a difficult childbirth and was bleeding heavily. The blood on my body came from when I saved her. I wasn't injured."

Hearing Ning Huan's explanation, Madam Pang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're not injured. It's good that you're not injured. Now I can rest assured."

Hearing Pang's voice from inside the room, Zhou Jing'an thought Ning Huan was injured and hurriedly tried to get off the bed.

After struggling for a long time, he still had no strength left. He gritted his teeth and tried to get off the bed, but unexpectedly he fell off the bed.

When Ning Huan heard the noise and came in from the courtyard, she saw Zhou Jing'an lying on the ground.

She quickly helped Zhou Jing'an up: "How did you fall? You could have just called out if you needed to do something, why did you try to get out of bed by yourself!"

As Ning Huan drew closer, Zhou Jing'an also smelled the blood on her. He feigned indifference and asked, "Are you injured?"

Ning Huan thought Zhou Jing'an didn't like the smell of blood on her when she took care of him, so she explained, "No, Manager Si took me to treat a woman who was having a difficult childbirth and was bleeding heavily. The blood on my body is hers."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Even he himself didn't know why he felt inexplicably at ease at this moment.

After helping Zhou Jing'an back to bed, Ning Huan said, "You should rest well. I'll go back to my room and change into some clean clothes. I'll come back and tell you the details later."

Watching Ning Huan's retreating figure, Zhou Jing'an silently realized that the woman in front of him, who had always been incredibly ugly and obese, seemed to have changed.

Ning Huan only realized she had lost weight recently when she was changing clothes. Before, she could wrap her belt around her waist once, but now she had to wrap it around her waist three times to fit her perfectly.

As for the pustules and pimples on her face, she had already removed them with a mixture of spiritual spring water, spiritual tree sap, and pearl powder made from top-quality sea pearls.

Her face had already become much clearer and brighter, with only a faint red mark remaining, so no one noticed it.

In another seven days, Ning Huan's face will probably be completely bare.

Seeing the changes in her figure and appearance, Ning Huan was very happy, which proved that her recent efforts had not been in vain.

After she changed her clothes and went to see Zhou Jing'an, she told him everything that had happened at Renjitang, except that she changed herself to be the person who was crucial in providing the medicinal materials.

When Madam Pang heard Ning Huan say that the lady had already suffered a difficult labor and severe bleeding, yet still insisted on giving birth to the child, her eyes immediately reddened.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Once a mother becomes a mother, she wants to give her child the best of everything in the world. The lady you mentioned was the same; she must have been thinking of giving up her own life to save her child's."

Seeing that Madam Pang was feeling a bit sad, Ning Huan quickly comforted her.

“Mother is not sad, Mother is happy, Mother is glad that lady survived.”

Madam Pang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and then said, "So, Huanhuan, the medicine you brought saved that lady's life?"

Ning Huan nodded, but Zhou Jing'an, lying on the bed, knew that the woman in front of him was making up lies again.

If, as she says, Ning Huan is just an ordinary merchant delivering medicinal herbs, then how could she have so much blood on her body?

Ning Liang also realized that Ning Huan was lying.

However, he had personally witnessed his sister using her medical skills to save people, so he did not doubt her like Zhou Jing'an did.

After a long period of busy work, the wine she was fermenting in her consciousness space was almost ready.

She took out the wine jar, put it in the pot, and began distillation, a process that is particularly important.

So Ning Huan quietly stood by the steamer, waiting for the purification process to finish.

As time passed, the four little ones got a little hungry. They quietly ran to Grandma Pang and said, "Grandma, we're all a little hungry. Mommy's been busy in the kitchen for so long, why hasn't she come out yet..."

Little Sanbao threw himself into Pang's arms: "Grandma, my stomach is growling from hunger, listen!"

Everyone held their breath, trying to hear what the third baby's stomach was making, but the third baby's stomach didn't rumble; instead, the eldest baby's stomach started growling.

The four little dumplings and Pang Shi looked at each other and then burst out laughing.

Madam Pang gently stroked the four little ones' faces and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Grandma will go see what your mother is doing. No matter what she's busy with, she has to stop what she's doing and cook for us four little darlings!"

No sooner had Pang stepped into the kitchen than Ning Huan unloaded the steamer.

"Huanhuan, what are you doing in the kitchen? You've been busy for so long, it's getting dark, we should cook something to eat."

Ning Huan originally wanted to give Pang a surprise, so she didn't say much.

But Mrs. Pang smelled the aroma of alcohol in the air. She sniffed and then asked in confusion, "Girl, can you smell alcohol?"

Ning Huan was stunned for a moment. She had forgotten that the Pang family originally ran a liquor business. If she hadn't put the wine jars from the steamer into her consciousness space just now, she probably wouldn't have been able to hide it from them.

She laughed and pretended to say, "Mother, there's no smell of alcohol in this. You're probably just hallucinating from worrying about the family business."

"Go back inside and play with the four little ones for a while. I'll start cooking now, it'll be ready soon!"

Ning Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Pang looking back at the kitchen several times before finally leaving without finding anything.

Because she had just brewed some wine today, Ning Huan prepared a sumptuous meal.

To allow Pang and Ningliang to properly savor the wine, she even brought out wine glasses from home and poured a glass for everyone.
