Chapter 131: Speaking out of character
Siming nodded: "Mom, we will pay attention. We still have a lot of things to deal with before that."
"Indeed, materials, construction site, and manpower are all things we need to consider." Si Tian frowned.
"Make a detailed plan first, and then we'll take it step by step." Madam Si looked at the two of them.
"Well, there's no need to rush this matter. Let's take it step by step." Siming agreed.
The three of them chatted for a while about what they were going to do, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
When Juanjuan woke up, there was no one next to her. She sat on the bed and turned around to look around.
Sister Baiqiao is not here, Sister Bailing is not here, and grandma is not here either.
She climbed down from the bed holding the little rabbit, and stepped on something furry, which scared her.
"Woof woof woof. Where are you putting your little feet?" Songsong shouted at her in dissatisfaction.
Juanjuan lost her balance and fell to the ground. When her body fell backwards, she was caught by Ruanruan.
"Woof woof. Little master, are you okay?" Ruanruan tilted his head and looked at her.
Juanjuan sat on the wooden floor and looked at Songsong angrily: "Bad dog."
"Woof woof woof. You little girl, I come here to protect you with good intentions, but you still think I'm bad." Songsong turned his head away and didn't look at her.
Juanjuan blinked her big eyes, as if she stepped on it because she didn't see it.
She moved her little butt, rubbed against it, and reached out to hug Songsong: "Songsong is the best."
"Woof. Humph!" Songsong hummed softly.
Ruanruan ran over and pulled Songsong away: "Woof woof. You talk nonsense but your body is upright."
Songsong looked at Ruanruan: ...
When Mrs. Si heard the noise in the room, she opened the door and saw Juanjuan sitting on the ground playing with two dogs.
"My dear, you're awake!" She walked over and picked up Juanjuan from the ground.
"The ground is cold, put on your clothes first and then play with Songsong and Ruanruan."
Juanjuan put on her clothes obediently, but she didn't know how to button them. Her little hands were a little clumsy, and she spent a long time trying but couldn't button a single button.
Madam Si smiled and reached out to help her button up: "Okay, that's it."
"Grandma, is Dad out?" Juanjuan saw that there were not many people at home.
"They are out. They all have things to do. Do you want to go and see Sister Qiaoqiao?" Old Lady Si looked down at her.
Juanjuan frowned and hesitated for a long time before nodding: "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed, Mrs. Si took the other two children to Doctor Huai's clinic.
The car stopped outside the clinic and many people were queuing up to see a doctor.
Now, in addition to Doctor Huai, there are also his son and grandchildren in the clinic.
It’s just that their medical skills are not very good, but they can treat headaches and fevers without causing any serious problems.
Doctor Huai treats the more difficult patients, so he doesn't have to sit in the clinic.
Bai Qiao followed the waiter, trying hard to memorize the names of the herbs and remember where they were placed.
"Bai Qiao, there are certain rules for placing medicinal herbs. Some herbs cannot be placed together." The waiter explained to her carefully.
"Why do we have to keep them separate?" Juanjuan ran over at some point.
"Miss." Bai Qiao was surprised to find her next to her.
The guy looked at the chubby little kid and softened his tone, which was about to be scolded: "Don't just come in here!"
"Brother, I won't make trouble. I'll just watch." Juanjuan held Baiqiao's hand and stood aside very obediently.
Bai Qiao quickly said, "The young lady is very well behaved and won't cause any trouble. She's just curious."
The clerk glanced at the shopkeeper and saw him nod. He didn't send her away, but instead explained her question: "Plant, animal, and mineral herbs should be kept separately."
"Animal-based medicinal materials are prone to insect infestation. If they are placed together, they will affect other medicinal materials."
"Also, the cold, hot, warm, cool, or those with the functions of relieving exterior symptoms, nourishing, or promoting blood circulation can be put together for easy access."
"Toxic items and items that easily transfer odors must also be stored separately. Toxic items need to be labeled, and items that easily transfer odors must be sealed."
"Precious medicinal herbs need to be stored separately, and some medicinal herbs need to be stored with special care. I will tell you slowly."
Juanjuan almost felt dizzy after hearing this: "It's so complicated."
"Even ventilation and moisture-proofing must be taken care of, otherwise many medicinal materials will be damaged and unusable."
The guy explained to her with a smile.
"Juanjuan, let's go find Grandpa Huai. We can't affect Sister Baiqiao's studies." Si Jinchen walked towards her.
"Sister Baiqiao, you have to work harder!" Juanjuan said, then let go of her hand and ran to find Si Jinchen.
The waiter saw her running away, then looked at Bai Qiao: "Is this Governor Si's daughter-in-law?"
"Well. Let's continue!" Bai Qiao didn't want others to ask too much about Juanjuan.
Doctor Huai is in the pharmacy at the back, studying how to make these herbs into pills.
He ground all the herbs needed for a common cold medicine into powder and sifted them through a 100-mesh sieve.
But what should we do next?
He knew how to make pills, just add water or appropriate amount of honey to mix and roll them into pills, but how to make tablets was a bit difficult for him.
Since he came back yesterday, he has tried many methods. Not to mention suppressing it, it will break into pieces with just a little force.
The pills have to be rubbed by hand, which not only reduces the yield but also increases the cost.
Tablets can be pressed using molds, which is more efficient than making small pills by hand.
The only problem is how to suppress it.
"Grandpa Huai, we are here!" Juanjuan ran into the pharmacy and saw him frowning.
Doctor Huai was stunned for a moment when he saw them coming, then he laughed: "Don't you want to smell the bitter medicine?"
"If Juanjuan doesn't have to eat it, it won't be bitter!" Juanjuan thought seriously.
"You kid, you are so afraid of taking bitter medicine!" Doctor Huai shook his head helplessly.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, bitter ones are not tasty, candy ones are tasty, and Juanjuan likes sweet ones." Juanjuan said as she took out a candy from her bag and handed it to him.
Doctor Huai took it with a smile: "Sweet candies are indeed more delicious."
Madam Si looked at the many things displayed in the pharmacy and asked, "Are you researching tablets?"
"Yes, pills are easy to make, but tablets are a bit difficult." Doctor Huai shook his head helplessly and asked Madam Si to sit aside and drink tea.
Juanjuan pulled Si Jinchen and Ma Yang to the place where he made medicine. They climbed onto the stool with great effort before they could see what was on the table.
She stretched out her little hand to take the prepared small pills, then found a 20-mesh sieve and crushed the pills through the sieve.
Si Jinchen climbed onto the stool and saw her movements with some curiosity: "Juanjuan, what are you doing?"
When Doctor Huai heard the sound, he quickly stood up and went to see: "This is medicine that cannot be played with."
"Juanjuan, you can't play with medicinal herbs. They are used to cure diseases and save lives." Old Madam Si also had a headache. This child would cause trouble if she was not careful.
