Chapter 129: Medicine
"How can this be possible?!"
Gao Fen couldn't believe his ears. Could it be that the spicy food made the kid confused?
How can you settle accounts like this and only let yourself suffer losses!
"Aunt, this Jade Cream is a bit complicated and laborious to make. Two of the medicinal ingredients are quite rare, so one thousand yuan is enough."
Taking the opportunity to pull his hand out of hers, Su Ning took the purse from his arms and put it on the table while explaining with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't lose anything even if I don't make money from you."
"This, really? It's really worth it?"
"It has to be true."
Seeing how she spoke with such confidence and sincerity in her eyes, Gao Fen had no choice but to open her purse with some doubt.
After counting out a thousand yuan, he thought about it and decided to take two hundred more. "Then let's both make concessions. This is all."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at her face which had an expression that said: either this much or all of it.
Su Ning stopped arguing and held the money in his hand. "Then Auntie, Xiaolian, I'm going to make the ointment for today. It will probably take more than an hour or two."
"Okay, Xiao Su, go and do your work. We mother and daughter won't disturb you. We'll just rest in the yard and wait for you."
"Thank you, Sister Su."
He rubbed Xiaolian’s head, then got up and returned to the bedroom.
Put the money in your hand into the iron box in the desk drawer used to store daily expenses.
Twelve hundred yuan plus the banknote of her monthly salary, Su Ning curled the corner of her mouth as if she realized that she was alone and the speed at which she spent money could not keep up with the speed at which she made money.
Very good, um, very good!
He closed the biscuit box and put it back in the drawer, then stood up and locked the doors and windows. Listening to the faint sounds of laughter coming from the yard, he turned around and slipped into the space.
…
In the Utopia space.
The herb garden beside the spring has begun to take shape after some growth thanks to the medicinal seeds donated by Teacher Ge.
After memorizing the pharmacopoeia, she was able to identify medicinal herbs faster and faster, and no longer had the embarrassing situation of seeing everything look like weeds.
I went to the medicine garden and picked several herbs needed for the Yurong Cream and put them into the small backpack I carried with me.
After taking a basin of spring water and a piece of blue jade, Suning walked into the simple thatched cottage built next to the medicine garden.
There was a long counter half a person's height in the thatched hut, on which were very few tools for making medicine, all of which she had found in the recycling station.
After having several experiences of making jade face cream, it is undoubtedly much easier to do it than the initial chaos.
He processed all the medicinal materials slowly and methodically, and began to simmer them in a small stove in order.
While doing this, she ground the blue jade into a fine powder.
Fortunately, I can use my mental power to control the space, otherwise this grinding step alone would take an incalculable amount of time.
A piece of jade less than half the size of an adult's palm would only fill a small bowl after being ground into powder.
Pour in spring water and stir it into a thin and viscous state. Use bamboo strips to scrape out an appropriate amount and add it little by little to the ointment.
…
I followed the steps described in the book, but the result was...
Looking at the freshly baked Yurong cream in my hand, which has transformed into soap again.
Suning remained silent for a rare time: What exactly is wrong?
Why do the medicines she makes always undergo various mutations, like powder becomes liquid, and ointment becomes solid?
There has been no exception after several attempts!
Could it be that she would try the pills only to fail to produce a single one?
This...why does it feel like there is a great possibility?
She smiled bitterly and shook her head. Fortunately, Teacher Ge did not agree to accept her as his disciple. She was old and her heart was not in good condition. She was afraid that she would be seriously hurt by this "rotten wood" while teaching her.
"Forget it, the boss is the one who made the medicine, so as long as the effect is good, who cares!"
After silently comforting himself, Suning put the Yurong Cream into the empty box.
After stretching, he picked up the wooden box and left the space.
Gao Fen and her daughter were sitting in the corridor in the yard, chatting quietly.
There are still a lot of mosquitoes after the autumn heat. Fortunately, mint is planted among the plants in the yard to repel mosquitoes. Otherwise, if you sit there for a while at night, you will definitely be bitten all over.
Gao Fen, fanning herself with a large palm-leaf fan, paused when she saw Su Ning coming out of the house. She quickly stood up with a smile and said, "Come on, Xiao Su, are you tired? Sit down and rest for a while, son."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Su!"
"Haha, it's not as tiring and hard as you think. It's just that my legs are a little sore from standing for a long time. I'll be fine after a while."
Without any hesitation, Suning sat down on the low stool in front of Xiaolian and looked at Gao Fen who had moved a small stool out from the corridor.
"Aunt, last time we just tried the medicine, this time we will start the formal treatment."
"Well, fine, Xiao Su, we'll do whatever you say, just as you say!"
"Then Xiaolian, go wash your face first. Wash your face and neck thoroughly. Just like last time, don't leave any sweat."
"Um."
Xiaolian nodded to show that she understood, quickly stood up and went to the bathroom, carefully washing her face and neck with soap.
When she came back, her little face and neck, along with the scars on them, were all rubbed red.
This little girl... is too honest.
With a smile in his eyes, Su Ning saw that she sat up straight and patted her back gently, "Xiao Lian, relax."
"Just like the day I got it, there won't be too much numbness or itchiness, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Well, Sister Su, I'm not afraid. I can endure the numbness, itching and stinging."
Listening to the soft and comforting voice behind her ear, Xiaolian subconsciously curled the corners of her mouth and her body unconsciously relaxed.
As for the numbness, itching and stinging, what are they compared to the ugly scars all over the body?
Grandma, parents and brothers have given so much and spent so much money on her, all just hoping that she will get better.
As long as she can get better, as long as she can become like an ordinary person, she is willing to endure any pain and suffering.
"Sister Su, go ahead, I'm ready."
"good."
He lowered his head and opened the wooden box in his hand. After being soaked in the spring water for the last time, the blue "soap" took on a touch of cool white.
Judging from the appearance alone, the Yurong Cream in her hand was even more beautiful than the description in the medical classics.
As for the effect, there is no need to say more.
"Aunt, please hold Xiaolian tightly. The face is different from other parts of the body. The stimulation may be greater."
"Yeah, okay."
When Gao Fen heard this, she hurriedly stood up and walked to her daughter, wrapping half of her body around her.
As the Jade Cream was applied to her face bit by bit, Xiaolian's body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
From the way she bit her lower lip and her closed eyes with her dark eyelashes trembling, it was not difficult to tell that applying the ointment on her face this time was indeed much more uncomfortable than the previous experiment on her hands.
"Xiao Lian, how do you feel? Do you feel a burning sensation?"
"Fortunately, Sister Su, there is no burning sensation, but it is still stinging and itchy like yesterday."
"Just bear with it, it will be fine once the medicine dissolves and seeps into the skin."
"Um."
After applying layer after layer, the light blue color on her face gradually turned transparent.
After finding that the Jade Cream was working and slowly penetrating into the skin, Suning stopped applying it and began to apply it evenly with his fingertips.
More than half an hour later, until the ointment on her neck had taken effect, she stood up and put some distance between them, allowing the light from the corridor to shine completely on Xiaolian's body and face.
“This…this is too amazing!”
Although he had seen it yesterday, Gao Fen couldn't help but sigh when he saw it again.
It is worthy of being something passed down by our ancestors!
Looking at the place on her daughter's face where the scar had disappeared, it was the first time she saw clearly what her daughter Lian would look like when she grew up.
Gradually, the mist in her eyes accumulated more and more. Gao Fen immediately wiped away the tears with her hands to prevent her daughter's face from being blurred in her sight.
"I know that our Lianwa is the best!"
"mother?"
Wanting to touch it but not daring to, Xiaolian looked back at her mother, who was smiling with tears in her eyes and sighing with deep emotion. She felt a little uneasy, "Mom, is my face healed?"
"Alright, alright!"
Holding her shoulders tightly, Gao Fen nodded affirmatively, "You look just like your great aunt, with big eyes and a small mouth. You look very well behaved."
"mother!"
"Auntie, what I said is not an exaggeration. Xiaolian, do you remember what I said about you being very beautiful? Come on, take a good look and see if we were wrong."
Taking out a mirror, Suning handed it to Xiaolian with a smile.
Stable updates will resume tomorrow. Thank you all for your votes and support.
