Grandma Song sniffed the black beans being stir-fried in a small pot no bigger than her palm, and her throat involuntarily swelled. She said in disbelief, "Why do these black beans smell so good?"
Not only her, but everyone in the Chinese medicine store was also mesmerized by the bean fragrance.
"What kind of beans are these? Why do they smell so good?"
"I haven't smelled such a strong bean fragrance for a long time."
"Old Song, are they making soy milk over there?"
"Old Song, where did you buy these beans? Why are they so flavorful?"
"These are just ordinary black beans." Grandpa Song was still confused. "Besides, there's no one making soy milk in that room. It's just my Tianbao frying black beans there..."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old lady who often came to the Chinese medicine store nearby to get medicine was unhappy: "Old Song, you are being disrespectful. How can ordinary black beans have such a fragrant taste?"
"Besides, if I remember correctly, your sweet girl is only a little old, and you're still making her stir-fry black beans. Are you kidding me on purpose?"
"That's right. We've been neighbors for so many years. Are you really going to be so dishonest just for a few beans?"
"Old Song, this is really unkind of you."
"Really not. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourselves. Besides, I really wouldn't hide it from you just for such a few beans." Grandpa Song was also a little helpless.
"Then I'll really go and take a look." As she spoke, the old lady who had just spoken took the lead and walked towards a small room separated from the Chinese medicine store.
Seeing this, several curious family members also walked over.
The door of the house was not closed, so once they looked inside, they could see the whole house clearly.
Upon closer inspection, it was just as Grandpa Song said. Song Tiantian was holding a small spatula the size of a spoon and stirring the black beans in a small pot that was not even the size of a palm.
The old lady looked at the black beans in the toy pot and said in surprise, "It really is the sweet girl who is frying black beans."
"Yes." Grandma Song smiled and said, "Our Tianbao saw her father making medicine and wanted to follow him, so Old Song got her some black beans, sesame seeds and other things and asked her to make some Wuhei pills."
"She's worthy of being your child. She's already learning how to make medicine pills at such a young age." The old lady sighed.
"No, no, she's just interested in it."
While they were talking, Song Tiantian had finished frying the black beans in her small pot.
Song Tiantian carefully poured the fried black beans in the pot into the medicine jar, then picked up the drained sesame seeds and started a new round of stir-frying.
The skillful movements and posture made everyone who saw it smile.
The old lady looked at the black beans that had been poured into the medicine jar and asked Grandma Song, "By the way, Sister Fang, where did you buy these black beans?"
"We bought it together with the pharmacy when we were purchasing goods," said Grandma Song.
"Did you buy them together when you were purchasing at the pharmacy?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that although black beans are a grain, they can also be bought at Chinese medicine stores because of their efficacy.
When she thought of this, the old lady's eyes immediately lit up: "In that case, your pharmacy still has black beans."
Before Grandma Song could react, several patients' family members who came with the old lady reacted quickly.
Look, Grandma Song looked at the figures at the door who quickly turned around and ran towards the medicine cabinet, and she was stunned for a moment.
When these people came to the medicine cabinet, they shouted to the young man who was holding the prescription and filling the medicine: "Young man, please give me some of your black beans."
"Yes, help me get two kilograms."
"I want five pounds."
"Ah?" Xiao Li, who was getting the medicine, never knew that medicine could be sold by pound, and it was black beans.
Although he was a little greedy when he smelled the aroma of beans coming from the hut, he bought black beans by weight at the pharmacy.
Xiao Li looked towards Grandpa Song and said, "Doctor Song."
"Old Song, you won't sell me such a small amount of black beans, right?" The old lady spoke first.
"Then who buys black beans at the pharmacy?" Grandpa Song was also helpless: "Besides, these black beans are just ordinary black beans."
"I don't care. You have to buy me five pounds anyway," the old lady said. "I haven't smelled black beans with such a strong aroma in over ten years. I finally came across them today, so I have to buy some."
"Yes, yes, the black beans in your pharmacy are so fragrant. We have been eating black beans for so many years, but we have never smelled such a rich bean aroma."
"And your black beans don't have that bean smell. This kind of black beans is really rare. You must buy some from us today."
"Yes, I want three pounds."
"I want five pounds."
Grandpa Song frowned, "Where can I get so many black beans for you? Besides, have you ever seen a Chinese medicine store where you can buy black beans by the pound?"
When Grandpa Song was being pestered to buy black beans, the sesame seeds that Song Tiantian was frying began to emit bursts of fragrant aroma.
Grandma Song, who had already figured out what had happened in the pharmacy, immediately closed the door of the hut.
Not only that, she also turned on the fresh air system in the house and expelled the smell from the house through the ventilation duct.
Fortunately, Grandma Song reacted quickly, otherwise the sesame seeds in the Chinese medicine store might have been bought up by someone else.
No matter what happened outside, Song Tiantian was still concentrating on the task at hand and was not disturbed by any external factors at all.
System 008 was also amazed at Song Tiantian's concentration, especially when he saw Song Tiantian was stir-frying, and she was still trying to incorporate the pharmaceutical skills into the stir-frying process.
System 008 felt the fluctuations of Song Tiantian's mental power, and the desire to show off to other systems surged up again.
It's a pity that the interstellar network is disconnected, otherwise based on the talent of its host, he would definitely be the most handsome host among all the hosts of the traditional Chinese medicine system!
Song Tiantian carefully fried the black beans, sesame seeds, black rice, etc. until they were dry and fragrant, then poured them into the medicine pot and pounded them into powder with a small pestle.
During the pounding process, the five medicinal materials are fully mixed together, forming a more intense fragrance.
Grandma Song had been in the house the whole time, but when she smelled the smell, she put her handicraft work aside and stopped working.
If it weren't for the fact that she is already quite old, Grandma Song might have been able to do it herself and taken the medicine jar from her little granddaughter's hand out of impulse.
Fortunately, Grandma Song's common sense pulled her back in time, so she didn't do anything impulsive in front of Song Tiantian.
The fried herbs are quickly crushed into powder. Then the honey is boiled to evaporate some of the water and mixed with the crushed five-black powder until it becomes viscous.
Finally, roll them into small balls.
System 008 also sensed that Song Tiantian unconsciously used her mental power when she was rubbing the small pills.
008 was simply stunned by the fact that he could guide out his mental power for the first time and use it effortlessly. However, this also made him more certain that Song Tiantian was a natural healer, the kind that God had blessed!
The small pills that Song Tiantian rolled looked almost like black beans. In addition, the Wuhei pills themselves were black in appearance. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether they were pills or black beans.
After rolling the pills, Song Tiantian found an empty vitamin candy jar and put the pills in it in a very formal manner: "Grandma, my five-black pills are ready!"
The look of begging for praise and commendation made Grandma Song couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, our sweet baby is great."
"Hehe." Song Tiantian raised her little face and performed with a proud look on her face: "I'm just that awesome!"
"Right, right, right." Grandma Song took Song Tiantian's hand and said, "Let's go find your grandpa now and let him see the five black pills made by Tianbao, okay?"
"Okay!" Song Tiantian responded loudly.
Grandma Song opened the door and led Song Tiantian into the Chinese medicine store, where she found Grandpa Song, who was on the phone with his supplier. "Yes... I'm out of black beans. When you bring the herbs tomorrow, please bring me ten pounds."
"That's right, about ten pounds." Grandpa Song thought of the old neighbors who had just taken away all the black beans from his shop. Thinking of this, he quickly added, "Maybe it's not enough. How about taking the twenty pounds first? If it's not enough, we can take more next time."
"Yeah, yes, I'm sure. Okay, that's it for now." After Grandpa Song hung up the phone, he saw Grandma Song walking towards him holding Song Tiantian's hand.
Upon seeing this, Grandpa Song subconsciously smiled and said to Song Tiantian, "Tiantian, come to see Grandpa?"
"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded hurriedly, and handed the small bottle of Wuhei Pills to Grandpa Song: "Grandpa, look, these are the Wuhei Pills I made."
"Yeah." Grandpa Song took the bottle and picked up Song Tiantian: "It's really done, our sweet baby is awesome."
"What's so great?" Lu Chuanbei came in from the backyard and heard his father-in-law praising Song Tiantian: "Did Tiantian do something naughty again?"
"No way!" Song Tiantian looked at Lu Chuanbei angrily.
"That's right, our sweet baby is so well-behaved, how could he possibly do something naughty!" Grandma Song said hurriedly.
"That's right, our sweet baby was very well behaved this morning. Look, he even made some five-black pills." Grandpa Song said as he handed over the bottle in his hand.
"Five Black Pills?" Lu Chuanbei took the bottle with some doubt and looked inside. "Isn't this black beans?"
"It's not black beans." Song Tiantian's face was puffed up with anger: "This is obviously the five black pills I made."
"Are the Five Black Pills really this black?" Lu Chuanbei opened the bottle with some disbelief and sniffed inside...
