Chapter 2227 Prison Break
The housekeeper looked at the herbs they kept throwing into the basket, and his heart ached. "Doctor Zhou, are we going to use all of this?"
Manbao nodded and comforted him, "You can use it to make fertilizer."
Bai Shan added: "It can also be used to learn something new."
housekeeper:……
Manbao and Zhou Liru spent half a day searching the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored. After sorting out everything, they began to think about what kind of finished medicines could be made with the existing medicinal materials.
Fortunately, they don't buy medicine randomly. They buy it based on the medicinal materials needed for some common diseases.
So Manbao searched for a while, then turned to Zhou Liru and said, "Let's make some Fangfeng Tongsheng Pills, Yinqiao Jiedu Pills, and some Zhixue Powder."
Zhou Liru often made these medicines when she was at Jishiditang. She glanced at the list and pointed at a few herbs and asked, "Auntie, these herbs can't be kept any longer, and there must be some left over. What should we do?"
Manbao took a look and said, "Didn't they say the wine here is very strong? When the time comes, ask them to bring some wine. I'll mix it up and make them some medicinal wines, divided into categories for external and internal use."
This was something Zhou Liru had never learned before, so she quickly said, "Let me help you."
Manbao nodded, "Okay."
The medicine was brewed at the mayor's house. Firstly, the mayor himself was not very confident, and secondly, Manbao didn't want the yard where he lived to be filled with the smell of medicine.
A light medicinal smell is a medicinal aroma, but if you use a big pot to stir-fry different pills, it is not a medicinal aroma.
The mayor couldn't stand it anymore.
The town is so small, and the mayor's house is not very spacious. The yard where the medicine is boiled is right next to the main yard. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over to take a look. He saw that the yard was bustling with activity, and everyone was working hard to grind the medicine powder.
Man Baoze and Zhou Liru were refining honey, which they would later fry with the pills.
Bai Shan and the others were helping to cut the herbs. As Bai Erlang was cutting, he said, "I have to go out and play tomorrow. I won't come here again. Don't let anyone stop me."
Bai Shan said: "No one stopped you. Wasn't it you who took the initiative to drag everyone here this morning?"
Bai Erlang turned to look at Yin Huo and Liu Huan, "Would you like to come play with me? I heard there's a kind of gerbil in the desert that's just as delicious as a bamboo rat, but not as big."
That was also a creature that Manbao wanted to collect, so she immediately said, "I want to go."
Bai Erlang glanced at Bai Shan with pride, then rejected Man Bao, "You can't do it. Anyone can be missing here, but you can't be missing."
"Right, right, right," the mayor walked in immediately and said with a smile to Manbao, "I can ask someone to find whatever Doctor Zhou wants to eat. Why do you have to go yourself? Things like ingredients should be left to the chef."
Bai Shan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Mayor, do you know that there is a kind of fish in the lake that likes to hide in rocks?"
The mayor couldn't help but turn his head to look at Bai Shan and exclaimed, "Mr. Bai is really amazing. He's only been here for a short time, and he already knows about this kind of fish in the lake?"
Bai Shan smiled sheepishly, "We are young and don't have any other hobbies. We just like it because it's delicious. We found out about it by chance and wanted to try it. Of course, it would be even better if we could see it alive."
Manbao immediately continued, "I have some seasonings. If the mayor can get some, we can eat them in our yard. Sister He's cooking skills are pretty good."
Koko helped to look for some fishing gear these two days and found that suitable equipment was either too large to be concealed or required one to go into the water to operate it. There was also a type of fishing gear that was controlled by a handle, which was of moderate size and did not require going into the water, but was very expensive.
Not only is the price itself high, but the technology tax is also high.
It would be great if they could catch it themselves.
The mayor said, "Those fish are very clever, they may not be caught."
Manbao said, "It would be good if we could catch one."
Mayor: ...That kind of fish is only as big as three fingers. One fish is not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. How can you eat it?
But the mayor was just thinking about it. As long as she stayed and made medicine seriously, he would leave the things outside to them. No matter whether they could complete the task or not, he would just agree to it first.
Just as they were busily engaged in making medicine, the gates of Liangzhou City, nearly 500 miles away from them, were being closed, and officials were sealing off the city and conducting a search.
Governor Duan walked into the prison with a stern expression, staring down at the jailer, "Can't you even keep an eye on someone?"
The jailer knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "I never thought Shi Ergou was so bold. He actually drugged the officer and let him escape."
Governor Duan asked, "Where is Shi Ergou?"
"He ran away," a personal guard came in and reported, "Sir, when we arrived, we found the house empty. We asked the neighbors, and they said his wife and children had left home two days ago, saying they were going back to their parents' home. I've already sent someone to check on them."
Governor Duan: "Investigate! Follow the trail and find Shi Ergou. He's a traitor. Do you think he can get away?"
After the order was given and most of the people had retreated, Governor Duan frowned and asked the advisor in confusion, "Why did those people only save Erge? Shouldn't they save their eldest brother first? Or the third brother would be fine too."
The butler thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps Narge has something else in his hand to use as a bargaining chip?"
Governor Duan snorted coldly, "These people are really stubborn and stubborn. They refuse to speak even after so much torture."
Although three piles of treasure were found in the mountain and the harvest was rich, Governor Duan always felt that they must have hidden treasures somewhere else, but unfortunately they refused to confess.
Erge jumped out of the car, couldn't help vomiting for a while, then looked up at the person standing beside him.
He straightened up, "Kui'an."
The man who had stayed at the Desert Inn with Manbao and the others said calmly, "I changed my surname. I think Han Chinese surnames sound nice, so I gave myself the surname Jin. Now I'm Jin Kuian."
Erg: "...Thank you for rescuing me."
"There's a price," Jin Kui'an said calmly, "We agreed at the time: I'll help you take care of your eldest brother and third brother, and help you take control of the stronghold, in exchange for you handing me the treasure left behind by the great general. Now your eldest brother and third brother are in jail, and I'll rescue you. Even if we understand the terms, where's the treasure?"
Erge glanced at the people behind him and said after a moment of silence, "They are on the mountain, but I heard that they have been taken out by the soldiers."
Jin Kuian sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? Will the things you hide be found?
If he could be found, would the leader of the village have tolerated him for so many years?
If he could find it, would he need to make this deal with him?
To put it bluntly, when the general gave the things to him to transport, no one knew where the things were hidden except him. He neither liked women nor wanted to have children, so they couldn't threaten him with anyone.
See you at 9pm
