Chapter 157 Rehmannia



If you really asked them to eat a bowl of noodles without caring about their image, they could probably finish it in ten or twenty seconds.

"Wait a moment, I'll take the things inside."

Rui Menhuan carried the plates and empty bowls to the back room. When she came out, she was wearing two masks. She tossed one to Wang Tianxiao and kept the other for herself.

"Take it out."

"You know what I'm about to show you doesn't smell good?"

"Of course, otherwise why would you let me finish my meal? It probably didn't look good or smell good."

"clever."

As Wang Tianxiao spoke, he handed the excrement, which was originally wrapped in plastic film, to Rui Menhuan.

"See? I told you it wasn't anything good."

Ruimen took the item with disdain, gently opened a small opening, glanced at it, and immediately closed it again, a look of surprise on her face.

"What kind of excrement is this? Cow? Donkey? Or mule?"

"It's a mule."

"How could anyone feed this stuff to a mule? Don't they know the mule can't handle it, and if it takes too much, it will die suddenly?"

Wang Tianxiao looked at Rui Menhuan curiously, "Menhuan, so you know what this tastes like?"

"Of course, isn't this just Rehmannia glutinosa?"

"Rehmannia?"

"Yes, this is definitely Rehmannia glutinosa, but it's not even the high-quality kind. It probably grew by a stream or in a shady place. The taste of this Rehmannia glutinosa is a bit off."

Wang Tianxiao nodded.

When it comes to Rehmannia glutinosa, he certainly knows what it is.

In later generations, Rehmannia glutinosa was made into a series of very famous medicines, and because it has a good effect on nourishing yin and tonifying yang, it was widely used by people.

This is what people often refer to as Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill).

The "six flavors" refers to the addition of Cornus officinalis, Dioscorea opposita, Paeonia suffruticosa, Poria cocos, and Alisma plantago-aquatica, all of which are excellent medicinal herbs for health.

Of course, there are also the legendary twelve, sixteen, thirty-six, and sixty-four ingredients, etc., which were not made into finished medicines, but can still be found in some ancient books.

Rehmannia glutinosa mainly grows at an altitude of over 1,000 meters, and Ziwu Ridge just meets these growing conditions, so there are many wild Rehmannia glutinosa in the mountains waiting for people to pick them.

Because Yangziling is located near the east and the sea is relatively low, the quality of the Rehmannia glutinosa is not very good, and the quantity is also relatively small.

The best Rehmannia glutinosa is found in the west.

However, the western area is rich in rehmannia and also has many ferocious beasts, so ordinary people dare not go there.

It's possible that before we've harvested any medicinal herbs, we'll end up being killed by wild animals.

Coming to his senses, he pointed at the thing in Ruimen's hand and asked him, "Then tell me, what would happen if livestock ate Rehmannia glutinosa?"

"It's hard to say, and it's not certain."

Ruimen hesitated slightly before continuing, "There are actually three types of Rehmannia glutinosa, and the effects of taking different types are also different. If it is fresh Rehmannia glutinosa, it can be used to clear heat and will not have much impact on these livestock. However, at this time of year, there is probably no fresh Rehmannia glutinosa available."

"Aside from fresh Rehmannia glutinosa, there are two other types: dried Rehmannia glutinosa and processed Rehmannia glutinosa. As the name suggests, dried Rehmannia glutinosa is made by drying fresh Rehmannia glutinosa until it is about 80% dry. Processed Rehmannia glutinosa is similar to dried Rehmannia glutinosa, but it is processed with some alcohol."

I just smelled what you brought, and there was no trace of alcohol, so I'm fairly certain it was given to you as a form of dried rehmannia. What exactly is this excrement, and what happened that made you come all this way back to ask me?

Wang Tianxiao told Rui Menhuan about buying the mule, and Rui Menhuan suddenly understood.

"I knew it! I told you that most livestock owners know these basic facts. When you take your livestock out to graze, you have to be careful that they don't eat Rehmannia glutinosa. How could someone give them dried Rehmannia glutinosa? It seems they just want to temporarily restore the mules' strength, and then hasten their death after they've fooled you."
