So, after the children went home at noon, Lin Ying went into her spatial dimension and began planting medicinal herbs.
Lin Ying knew, of course, that winter affected the entire country. Frozen hands weren't just a problem in Zhao Qinghuai's regiment; she could cultivate countless medicinal herbs, but she couldn't do so.
She knew that she was a small person with little influence, and even if she gave them the prescription for treating frostbite, given the current circumstances, she probably wouldn't be able to find enough herbs to distribute to everyone.
What she could do for them was small, but she knew that change never happens overnight. She was now making the medicine, even if it was only for one class, and she believed that next year, this matter would be taken seriously.
Then she will hand over the prescription, and many people will surely benefit next year. Gradually, the wider the prescription is promoted, the more people will benefit.
Therefore, Lin Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.
When the children arrived in the afternoon, Lin Ying was still processing medicinal herbs. When they heard Lin Ying say that she was going to make frostbite medicine for the People's Liberation Army uncles, the children all came over to help.
With them around, Lin Ying did indeed work much faster. It would have been good enough if they could have finished processing the herbs today; these little ones, despite their small hands and feet, were very efficient.
She had prepared all the medicinal herbs in just one afternoon.
That evening, Lin Ying prepared another batch of medicinal herbs. She dared not stay up late, fearing that her hard-won improvement in health would lead to a craving for sleep deprivation. Therefore, she could only work for a short while in the evening, finishing the remaining herbs before the children arrived the next morning.
Lin Ying made two kinds of frostbite remedies. One was for frostbite without ulceration: white radish, ginger, aconite root, and cinnamon twigs. She mixed these ingredients together directly according to the specified proportions.
This needs to be boiled in water and then washed with hot water.
Another type is a frostbite ointment for ulcerated skin: This requires purple gromwell root, cinnamon, cloves, Sichuan pepper, sesame seeds, angelica root, galangal, and dried ginger. Originally, beeswax was used, but Lin Ying didn't have any, so she chose to use roe deer oil.
The children and Lin Ying were busy for two more days. On the third day, Lin Ying took the children to the military base again.
To Lin Ying's surprise, when she arrived this time, she saw from afar that the person standing guard at the gate was none other than her man.
Zhao Qinghuai naturally saw her too, but he was on guard duty and couldn't leave his post until Lin Ying got close.
From a distance, Zhao Qinghuai could see that Lin Ying was in good spirits, and he was finally relieved after being worried all along.
He was thinking of saying a few words to her when she came up to him, but she ignored him and left after putting down her things.
Zhao Qinghuai found it amusing, but still didn't move.
It wasn't until the shift changer arrived and switched shifts with Zhao Qinghuai that Zhao Qinghuai went to look at the jar and the sack.
He was wondering what delicious treat Lin Ying had brought him this time. But when he opened it, he smelled a medicinal odor.
The soldier who had just been on guard duty with him wasn't afraid at all. Zhao Qinghuai came over and asked, "Commander, what delicious food did your wife bring this time?"
Zhao Qinghuai was both amused and exasperated: "You've only been eating meat for a few days, and you're already thinking about other good food?"
The soldier chuckled: "Who would complain about not having enough meat?"
Zhao Qinghuai showed him what was in the jar and then said, "Don't even think about it, it's not meat."
The soldier looked regretful, but still helped Zhao Qinghuai carry the jar. Zhao Qinghuai didn't even look at what was in the sack; he could smell the medicinal herbs.
He didn't know what Lin Ying was going to do with it, but since it was a gift from his wife, he was happy even if he didn't need it.
Back in the office, Wang Shan saw Zhao Qinghuai carrying many bags and hurried over. Zhao Qinghuai didn't even need to guess his expression: "Don't even think about it, it's not food."
Wang Shan exclaimed "Ah!" and returned to his seat.
There wasn't a trace of curiosity about what was inside anymore.
Zhao Qinghuai was amused by his words.
However, he still opened the sack. Since Lin Ying hadn't told him anything, she must have left some note.
Sure enough, Zhao Qinghuai found a piece of paper in the sack.
Lin Ying wrote down the formulas and instructions for use for both medicines.
Zhao Qinghuai was more excited than if he had eaten meat when he saw this moment.
"Old Wang, look!"
Wang Shan was stunned. Good heavens, they've stopped calling him Political Commissar Wang and started calling him Old Wang instead?
What made him so excited that he called out the name he knew from the bottom of his heart?
Wang Shan took the note with suspicion, and upon reading it, he also became excited: "This, this is really good stuff! But it looks like there's not much. Should we distribute it to the vanguard team first?"
