"5 qian each of Angelica sinensis, red medica, salvia miltiorrhiza, honeysuckle, 2 qian of Forsythia suspensa, 4 qian each of Viola yedoensis, Gleditsia sinensis, raw licorice, 3 qian each of tangerine peel and elephant fritillaria, 1 qian of roasted pangolin. Decoct in boiling water and take one dose per day." Yu Jiao said slowly.
"Can this prescription cure it?" Mu Yan asked with a look of doubt.
Yu Jiao said calmly, "Since Master Mu has asked me to see him, I shouldn't doubt him."
She looked at Yu Ruhai and said, "First, give Mr. Mu the medicine according to the prescription I just wrote."
After saying that, Yu Jiao stood up and left the west room. Outside, Yu Zhou and others all focused their attention on Yu Jiao. Yu Jinshu asked with concern, "How is it? Have you cured Uncle Mu's carbuncle?"
Yu Jiao ignored him and walked out of the main room. She knocked on the door of the west room. Wang Mengyan came out holding the child. Seeing that it was Yu Jiao, she asked in surprise, "Miss Meng, what can I do for you?"
Yu Jiao smiled and asked, "Is big brother back?"
Wang Mengyan shook her head and had breakfast. Yu Zhixing went out without saying what he was doing. When she heard Meng Yujiao ask this, she seemed to know where her husband had gone.
At this moment, the courtyard door creaked, and Song came into the courtyard carrying a dustpan. She saw Yu Jiao standing in the courtyard, "Meng girl, I got the goat dung you wanted."
Wang Mengyan covered her nose and hugged the girl to the side, "Second Aunt, why are you using so much sheep manure?"
"Meng girl wanted it, but I don't know what it's for." Song said with a smile.
As they were talking, Yu Zhixing came into the courtyard carrying a basket, his clothes, shoes and socks were all wet.
Wang Mengyan put the little platycodon on the ground and walked forward with concern, "Did you go fishing in the river? How come your clothes are wet?"
Yu Zhixing handed the basket to Yu Jiao, picked up the little platycodon on the ground, pinched her face, and looked at Yu Jiao, "Miss Meng, I caught two crucian carps. They are still alive, but a little small."
Yu Jiao took the basket, took a look at it, and said with a smile, "It's okay, thank you, brother." She picked up the fish basket and walked towards the kitchen.
"What does she want the crucian carp for? You went out early in the morning just to catch fish for her?" Wang Mengyan stared at Yu Jiao's back and asked.
"It's said to be used as medicine, but we don't know much about it, so I didn't ask too many questions." Yu Zhixing teased the girl in his arms with a smile, "Plantago, let mother hold it first, and father will go wash his feet and change shoes."
Wang Mengyan took the child and saw Song also entering the kitchen with sheep dung in a winnowing basket. She followed with curiosity.
Yu Jiao deftly removed the scales and tails of the two crucian carps, cut open their stomachs, dug out the spoils inside, and used a handkerchief to cover them. She then stuffed the castrated sheep dung in the winnowing basket into the crucian carps' stomachs, filling them completely.
"Aunt Song, please help me light a fire." Yu Jiao looked up at Song while busying herself.
Song hurriedly lit the fire under the stove and heated the pot.
Wang Mengyan felt sick to her stomach and frowned, asking, "Why did Menggu stuff sheep dung into the fish's stomach? Is it still edible?"
"It's not for eating." Yu Jiao explained with a kind smile.
Wang Mengyan was full of questions. Although she couldn't bear to watch, she still held her child in the kitchen and watched. She wanted to see what Yu Jiao was going to do with the sheep dung and crucian carp. She had never heard that sheep dung could cure diseases. How could such a dirty and disgusting thing be used as medicine?
After the pot was heated, Yu Jiao put the crucian carp stuffed with castrate ram dung into the pot, and asked Song to turn the heat to low, slowly roasting and simmering it until it was charred, dry and crispy, and then served it out.
