Chapter 78 Hygienist Examination
Because beeswax is added to frostbite cream, the liquid will become solid after it cools completely.
Yun Qiao used a specially wiped kitchen knife to divide the ointment into four parts, and then divided his own part into two halves. He kept one half for himself and gave the other half to Qin Guifen as a reward for borrowing the pot.
Yun Qiao carefully wrapped all the frostbite cream in oil paper and handed one of the two small pieces to Qin Guifen: "Sister-in-law, this one is for you."
"You're giving me such a big piece?" Qin Guifen subconsciously wiped her hands on her apron before reaching out to take the frostbite cream. She said somewhat awkwardly, "Just give me a small piece. That's enough for me."
"Take it. It's all bandaged. Don't use it anymore." Yun Qiao put away the other pieces of frostbite cream and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to do later. I'm leaving now."
Qin Guifen: "Okay, then drive slowly."
"Tuo."
After leaving Captain Yang's house, Yun Qiao first went to the office of the team's communicator Lu Xun to give him the frostbite cream.
The door of Lu Xun's office was closed, and Yun Qiao vaguely heard voices coming from inside.
She knocked on the door: "Lv Xunzhi, are you here?"
"㱗."
Lu Xun quickly opened the door and when he saw Yun Qiao, he quickly stepped aside and invited her in.
Yun Qiao looked through the crack in the door and saw Instructor Zhao and Jiang Lingren both in the room, so he didn't go in. "No, Lu Qizhi, I'm just here to give you some frostbite cream. I'll leave after I'm done."
"You made the frostbite cream so quickly?" Lu Xun was a little surprised.
Yun Qiao nodded and said with a smile, "Everyone is waiting to use it, so I started making it as soon as I got the herbs."
As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of chilblain cream wrapped in oil paper from her pocket and handed it to Lu Xun. "The one wrapped in the oil paper is the chilblain cream. Wash your hands before using it. Break off a piece of ointment the size of a mung bean and apply it directly to the chilblain. After applying it, continue massaging for a while for the effect to be more effective. Stop when you feel the chilblain area start to feel slightly warm."
Lu Xun nodded, indicating that he had taken note. "Tuo, I've got it. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Before leaving, Yun Qiao reminded him, "Lü Zhizhi, it's best to wrap it in oil paper after each use. This way it can be preserved longer. However, it's best to use it all before spring. Because it contains beeswax, it might melt in the summer. If you wait until spring to use it, the medicinal effect will be lost."
After seeing Yun Qiao off, Lu Xun closed the door and returned to his room.
Because the two were standing at the door when they were talking, Instructor Zhao and Jiang Lingren were able to hear the conversation between the two clearly from inside the room.
Seeing Lu Xun coming back with a neatly folded oil-paper package, Instructor Zhao pointed at his hand and said in surprise, "Is that the frostbite cream that Ye Xizhi made himself?"
"Yes." Lu Xun nodded. Seeing that he looked a little curious, he asked, "Instructor, do you want to take a look?"
"Hey, bring it here and let me take a look." Instructor Zhao reached out and took the frostbite cream.
He carefully peeled off the outermost layer of oil paper, and immediately a fragrant smell of medicine with a slightly bitter taste hit him in the face.
He raised an eyebrow: "Oh, the smell of medicine is quite strong."
Lu Xun: "How could it not smell like medicine? Just this one piece cost me a dime."
"One yuan and a dime?" Instructor Zhao's hands trembled, and he almost dropped the chilblain. "A box of chilblain at the supply and marketing cooperative only costs three dime. This stuff is made of gold? So expensive? You're not getting ripped off, are you?"
"No, I bought all the medicines myself from the hospital at the farm. Every cent was for the medicines. Ye Xizhi didn't even charge a cent for the processing fee. She was very considerate." Lu Xun explained for Yun Qiao.
Instructor Zhao couldn't help but smack his lips. "The medicine alone costs only one yuan. What kind of precious herbs are in here? There can't be ginseng, right?"
"Instructor, you're right, there really are some." Lu Xun gestured to him, "This long, one stick weighs 50 grams, and this one stick alone costs over one yuan. I heard from the pharmacy that this is only so cheap because it's cultivated forest ginseng. If it were wild, you'd only get one root for over one yuan."
"Oh my goodness!" Instructor Zhao was dumbfounded. "They're putting ginseng in a frostbite cream. How can they be so generous? Where does this Ye Zhi come from? Did any of his ancestors have a famous doctor?"
Jiang Ling said, "That's not the case. I've read her file. She comes from a family of scholars. There are painters, university teachers, and technicians in her family, but no doctors."
"Did she learn that herself?"
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "Ye Zhizhi himself said that he had learned it."
"That's strange." Instructor Zhao was even more surprised. "He studied medicine, but the headquarters is willing to send such talents to our company?"
Jiang Ling explained, "I said I encountered an opportunity by chance and learned it on my own. I never went to a specialized school."
