Chapter 636 Fifteen Medicinal Drinks

"Xue Huan, I'm almost done, help me grind it."

"Okay, got it, miss. I'll help you dry your body."

"No, I'll do it myself."

In the room on the second floor of the second courtyard, Jiang Fubao came out of the bathtub, dried herself, changed her clothes, walked across the balcony, and returned to her room.

The first thing she saw was Xue Huan standing beside her desk, grinding ink.

It is very hot in summer and there are many mosquitoes.

Even if I burned mosquito repellent grass and hung up lanterns in the house, I could still hear the sound of mosquitoes from time to time.

It keeps making "buzz buzz buzz" sounds, which is very annoying.

The window next to the desk was closed.

There were two basins of ice in the room, and since I had just taken a shower, it wasn't that hot, but rather a little cool.

Seeing Jiang Fubao coming in, Xue Huan put down the ink stick in her hand and picked up the fan instead.

"Miss, it's already been ground. Please sit down. I'll bring you a cup of cool tea. It's been very hot these days. Miss, don't get too hot. I'll have a cup too."

Xue Huan's voice was still as sweet as ever. Jiang Fubao nodded and sat down.

Solid wood chairs are cool to sit on even in summer.

Jiang Fubao pushed away Xue Huan's fan and said, "I'm not hot, fan yourself. If you're tired, go to sleep first. I think I'll have to write until midnight, so don't wait for me, dear."

"No, I want to wait for you to sleep together. Please don't chase me away." Xue Huan pouted and brought a round stool and sat next to Jiang Fubao.

She put the fan aside.

She wasn't hot, she was just worried that the lady would be hot.

"It's up to you. Since you don't want to sleep, read this medical book. Wait two years, and then you can follow me to the clinic."

Jiang Fubao picked up a medical book and handed it to Xue Huan.

Xue Huan was getting older. She had promised Xue Huan that she would let her stay with her when she grew up.

So Jiang Fubao plans to bring Xuehuan with him next year.

Since I want to stay by her side, I must understand medicinal herbs so that I can help her.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Xue Huan heard that Jiang Fubao would take her with him in the future.

I couldn't be happier.

She, who originally didn't like reading, immediately picked up the book, straightened her back and started reading.

She placed the fan on the table.

Lie quietly.

As time passed, the two basins of ice slowly melted into water.

In the courtyard of Jiang's house, there were several lanterns hanging, which stayed lit all night long.

The night watchman would relight the extinguished lanterns.

Even if the clouds outside block the bright moon, you can still see the road clearly standing on the balcony, and it won't be pitch black.

"Miss, have you finished writing? The ice has melted. Do you want to ask someone to get two basins of water?" Xue Huan was so engrossed in reading that it took her a long time to realize that the ice in the room had melted into water.

"No, it's not that hot at night. I'm almost done writing. Are you sleepy? If you are, go to sleep." Jiang Fubao replied without raising his head.

The brush in her hand ran out of ink, so she dipped it in more ink and continued writing.

"Burning Sun Tea, boiled with ginseng, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, rose, lotus seed, mint, rock sugar, etc. over low heat, is suitable for people with dizziness and fatigue, and can refresh the mind. Miss, is this the tea recipe you just came up with? I haven't heard you mention it before.

Ah, I haven’t seen this before, Quinoa Pear Tea, a nice name, boil fresh pears, dried pears, lilies, polygonatum, red dates, wolfberries, almonds, sugar cane, and licorice for an hour, then use tea as the base and pour the medicine into the cup...”

Xuehuan chirped like a bird in a tree. Although it was a bit noisy, Jiang Fubao did not stop her.

It was late at night and she was feeling a little sleepy, as she still had two tea recipes to write.

Just enough to refresh yourself.

The master and servant read and wrote at the same time.

In the end, Jiang Fubao wrote down fifteen medicinal drink prescriptions.

Including what she sold in the clinic.

"I'm so tired." Jiang Fubao stood up and stretched his body.

After sitting for a long time and keeping his head down to write, Jiang Fubao felt pain in his neck and shoulders.

Xue Huan felt very distressed, and when Jiang Fubao lay on the bed, she reached out and gave him a massage.

As he was being massaged, Jiang Fubao fell asleep on his stomach.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

The sun rises earlier in summer than in winter.

While I was washing up, the sun had already climbed to the roof.

A ray of sunlight shone on Jiang Fubao's face, making her unable to open her eyes.

"The weather is nice today. It will probably be even hotter than yesterday." The cloudy sky at night had disappeared without a single cloud in sight. Jiang Fubao said this and stood on the balcony brushing his teeth. After washing his face, he felt completely awake.

"Xue Huan, take out my blue gauze short dress. It's hot, and it will make me feel calmer if I wear plain clothes."

Jiang Fubao was planning to change clothes, but when she saw the pink dress on the bed, her pretty eyebrows wrinkled.

She gave instructions to Xue Huan.

"Okay, then I'll help you change. What should you wear under your skirt, young lady?" Xue Huan brought three skirts and looked at Jiang Fubao.

"The one on the left," Jiang Fubao said, pointing to a light yellow pleated long skirt.

The green and light yellow go well together, and when you wear them you'll look like little yellow flowers just blooming in the spring.

In order to match her clothes, Jiang Fubao only put a daisy hairpin on her head. She went downstairs with the book full of words, and when she passed by the yard, she picked a flower and asked Xuehuan to help her put it on her head.

The left one is a fake flower, the right one is a real flower.

It's not abrupt at all and complements each other, making Jiang Fubao look like a flower fairy who just walked out of the mountains.

As I entered the courtyard, I happened to see Butler Fang eating.

Jiang Fubao sat down.

The tactful maid immediately brought breakfast and placed it in front of her.

"Here, it's all written on it. The required herbs and proportions are clearly written. Just follow the instructions. There are fifteen kinds in total. The efficacy is not as good as the ones I sell, but you can drink it even if it is not suitable for your condition.

As for guests with more serious illnesses, it is better to advise them to see a doctor or prescribe a medicated diet prescription for them. Don't let Uncle Fang exaggerate, lest others think that this medicinal drink can cure diseases. If it is not taken for a long time, it is no different from drinking sugar water. "Jiang Fubao was afraid that Fang Yanheng would make false propaganda, so he reminded him.

"Yes, I have noted it down. Miss Fubao didn't sleep well last night? So you stayed up all night to write it? Actually, I am not in a hurry. I can wait another half day."

Butler Fang was a little worried when he saw that Jiang Fubao looked listless.

"It's okay. I can take a nap in the clinic at noon. Butler Fang, is the food to your liking? My family likes to eat meat porridge in the morning, while Chang'an likes to drink sweet porridge. Can you get used to it?"

Jiang Fubao asked him while eating porridge.

"I'm used to it. It tastes good. It's my first time eating salty porridge. It has a unique flavor. It's so delicious with this fried cake. If I wasn't afraid that the old man might not be able to wait, I would have wanted to stay a few more days."

After staying at the Jiang family for a night, Butler Fang was no longer as restrained as before. His suppressed temper relaxed a lot and he even started to joke.

"If you want to stay, then stay. Didn't I stay for quite a while when I went to Fang's house before? Why don't you stay for a few more days?" Jiang Fubao smiled and tried to keep him.
