The first room should be a storage room, about ten square meters.
The boxes that Su Ruyi put in that morning were all placed against the wall and stacked neatly.
The remaining space can hold at least several dozen more of these boxes.
Looking at those mysterious boxes, Su Ruyi reached out her hand again.
It still won't open.
Su Ruyi gave up, went into the second room, and then sighed softly, "Wow!"
This is a very large room for processing Chinese medicinal herbs, which can be said to be the dream "room" of every traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
This roasting room clearly uses the ancient roasting method.
Naturally, it doesn't contain the granulators, dryers, and pill-making machines used in modern Chinese medicine manufacturing... those large-scale production equipment.
Instead, it was filled with a large number of wooden pharmaceutical tools!
It has an antique feel and exudes a pleasant woody aroma.
Su Ruyi glanced at the tools and recognized only the medicine grinder and the stone mill. She found the remaining tools familiar and roughly knew their uses, but she couldn't name them.
She looked at it more closely—besides the medicine grinder and stone mill, there were eight sets of these exquisite-looking devices, all made of pure wood and with different shapes.
She vaguely understood that these devices were used for various processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing, such as steaming, boiling, frying, baking, processing, calcining, soaking, and smelting.
They are all genuine handmade products, and some of them are techniques that have been lost to time.
The medicinal materials processed using this complete set of equipment and technology can have their efficacy enhanced by at least one-third!
Su Ruyi was itching to make some medicine right away.
Although she hasn't fully mastered the entire process yet, she believes that as the knowledge from the second-floor study enters her mind, she will soon have a complete grasp of how to use the equipment.
Against one wall in this room was another row of floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets.
Su Ruyi probed with her divine sense—inside were yellow wine, white wine, saltpeter, licorice, black beans, honey, lard, snake bile, brown rice, and white vinegar, all needed for making medicine.
The liquids were all sealed with wax and stored in white porcelain bottles, with their names engraved on the cabinet drawers as usual.
Su Ruyi felt a surge of emotion again.
Now she knows that these things were left to her by her past lives.
This feeling was incredibly strange.
She calmed herself down for a moment and then went to the third room.
It's a bathroom.
Inside was a huge wooden bathtub. Through the misty steam, Su Ruyi could see that the water in the tub was a transparent, pale green, just like a lake in summer.
I tested the water temperature; it was slightly hot.
On a shelf against the wall, there were many silk bath towels and handkerchiefs, as well as some bottles and jars, all with an antique feel.
Su Ruyi opened them one by one and found soap powder, soap, perfume, and various balms and powders that emitted a light fragrance.
She then realized that she hadn't showered for several days.
Taking a bath was a very difficult task in the Su family courtyard. Everyone would fill a bucket with water, mix it with some hot water haphazardly, and carry it back to their room to wash themselves.
I dared not use too much hot water, nor too much cold water, so the washing was incredibly awkward.
Taking a bath... that was something Su Ruyi wouldn't even dare to dream of.
And now...
She quickly returned to her room on the second floor and opened the box.
Sure enough, her dirty clothes had been washed clean and neatly folded inside!
She quickly took off the clothes she was wearing and put them in the box, then took the clean clothes to the bathroom.
ah--
Immersed in the bathtub, which was slightly warmer than her body temperature, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief; it was an unprecedented pleasure.
I just don't know how to empty the water from the bathtub after I'm done washing.
As the mist rose, Su Ruyi felt the grime in her pores surface.
If only I had a bath towel!
Just as she was thinking this, her gaze fell on the pumice and natural sponges on the shelf.
Indeed, you know yourself best.
This bath lasted a full hour.
As soon as Su Ruyi's feet left the bathtub, the slightly murky water inside suddenly vanished without a trace.
Su Ruyi blinked and looked again; the bathtub was now filled with clear water that had a faint green tinge.
So... this bathtub is similar to the baby food box?
Without hesitation, she jumped in and rinsed herself off again.
When you come out again, the water has been refreshed once more.
Su Ruyi's smile was practically reaching her ears!
I've never had such a refreshing bath in my entire life!
After taking a shower, she took a soft, cloud-like silk towel and dried herself.
The used bath towel disappeared immediately after being removed from the hand.
Neatly folded bath towels reappeared on the shelf.
Su Ruyi was so happy she almost jumped for joy!
She changed into clean clothes, dried her hair, and then began to check the fourth room.
This room is very sophisticated, with wooden floors that feel soft and springy underfoot.
The decoration was very antique, but it was empty.
The room contained only a huge desk and an exquisitely carved chair.
The desk was empty except for the wooden box that had fallen from Su Zhenzhu's body.
Is this... a room specially set aside for this box?
Is this box really that important?
Su Ruyi stepped forward, opened the box, and took out the book.
There wasn't a single word on the cover, back cover, or sides.
I still can't open it.
It feels very familiar; it's a restriction.
Su Ruyi frowned—this book has received such preferential treatment from the space, with a special box made for it, and now it has been given a study. This strange thread-bound book must be an extremely precious ancient Chinese medicine book.
