Chapter 43: Medicine Bucket
…
In the next few days, Mu Jiao met Xikai E Peizhen several times. Fortunately, his complexion had returned to normal. Although he didn't smile when he saw her, at least he was no longer as cold and hostile as before.
He also regained his previous politeness and would greet Mu Jiao when he saw her and occasionally say a few words of greeting.
Mu Jiao guessed that Brother Qi and Mr. E Peizhen had reconciled, and it was also explained clearly that she was just a "shield".
Well, no matter what, Mu Jiao sincerely hopes that they will not quarrel again in the future. She doesn't want to see a moving iceberg again.
Mu Jiao has been very busy these days. On the one hand, she has to prepare medicinal food for Huo Qi Rex three times a day to regulate his body. On the other hand, she also needs to prepare some Chinese medicine-related instruments.
There is a saying that goes, "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools."
The first thing to prepare is the most critical item, which is the "medicine bucket" specially used to store medicine.
There are many types of Chinese medicines, and their functions vary, so the medicines need to be stored according to certain rules, so that they are easy to take and not easily confused.
In her previous life, Mu Jiao was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and a herbalist. After she achieved some success, she also spent money to build a "medicine bucket" to store various medicinal materials. For a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, having a medicine bucket of her own is the best thing.
The "medicine bowl" that Mu Jiao customized now has seven rows and eight columns, with a total of fifty-six small bowls. Each small bowl is divided into three compartments, and a total of more than one hundred and fifty Chinese medicinal materials can be placed.
"Looking at the bowl straight ahead, extending your hands and reaching the edge" is the characteristic of the medicine bowl.
This means that she can get the medicine by raising her hand or lowering her head. Mu Jiao's medicine bowl is 1.7 meters high and 2.2 meters wide, and it was specially tailored for her.
Although she is only 1.6 meters tall now, it doesn't matter. A small stool will be enough. Besides, she will grow taller.
In the interstellar age, furniture and utensils are all made of special metals, and the carpentry industry no longer exists in the interstellar world. Therefore, in order to customize this wooden "medicine bucket", Huo Qi specially invited a master of wood craftsmanship to make it. Mu Jiao drew the blueprint and it took a lot of effort to finally complete it.
Huo Qi specially built an exclusive laboratory for Mu Jiao in the villa. The laboratory uses a genetic recognition system. No one except Mu Jiao and Huo Qi can enter here.
Today, this newly made dark red wooden "medicine bucket" has been moved to this laboratory by a robot nanny.
…
The traditional Chinese medicine industry has a set of rules for storing Chinese herbal medicines, called "doupu", which is the arrangement of the various medicine drawers in the Chinese medicine cabinet.
Some are distributed according to the different sources of the medicines (such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, etc. of plants, or animal medicines, mineral medicines) or different properties and flavors (four properties of cold, hot, warm and cool, and five flavors of pungent, sweet, sour, bitter and salty); others are distributed according to the frequency of clinical use and the compatibility of the medicinal properties.
In her previous life, Mu Jiao was used to arranging various Chinese medicinal materials according to their properties and flavors, and she had her own set of "doupu" in mind.
Mu Jiao found a pen and paper and arranged the names of the herbs according to their different medicinal properties: "four qualities of cold, hot, warm and cool, and five flavors of pungent, sweet, sour, bitter and salty".
After working for more than half an hour, Mu Jiao finally put all the medicinal material labels on each small medicine bowl.
Unfortunately, these medicine boxes are currently empty.
Brother Qi has almost recovered and can set off tomorrow to explore various places on Chengtong Star and search for herbs. Mu Jiao believes that it won't be long before all the Chinese medicinal herbs in these small medicine boxes can be found.
The medicine box is only used to store commonly used medicinal herbs. In addition, there are some herbs that cannot be stored in the medicine box, such as poisons, and fine herbs such as ginseng and ganoderma. Mu Jiao prepared a separate box to store these herbs.
In addition to the "medicine bucket" and medicine box, Mu Jiao also prepared some other items.
Jars for preparing medicines, knives, grinding tools, large drying plates, etc. In addition, Mu Jiao also specially ordered a set of cupping jars and a set of silver needles for acupuncture, but these two types have not been completed yet. The reason is very simple. The materials used for the cupping jars and silver needles mentioned by Mu Jiao are all things from ancient times that have been eliminated. Although it is very simple to make, the raw materials have to be collected, so it will take some time to complete.
