Chapter 719: Strange Stove
Huo Yao flipped through it and took out a book called "Shennong's Herbal Classics". Then she dragged a small stool next to her and sat down.
The book Shennong originated from Shennong. It records more than 300 kinds of medicinal herbs, including the medicinal properties and toxicity, mutual promotion and mutual restraint of each herb. There are very detailed distinctions in it. It is one of the most detailed ancient Chinese medical books handed down by our ancestors.
There are various versions circulating on the market now, but they are all the most superficial introductions to the basic theories of medicine. The original works have been translated and expanded by people in later generations and have no reference value at all.
The book in Huo Yao's hand is the most complete ancient book that has been passed down and preserved. It took her a lot of effort to steal this book from the clan last year.
It's a crappy place and there's no courier. It's just inconvenient.
Huo Yao suppressed her inner complaints, opened the book, thought for a moment, and then turned directly to page 265. She remembered that this was the page that contained the record about the seven-leaf lotus.
At first glance, it was true.
The simple picture drawn on the yellowed page looks exactly like the seven-petal lotus obtained from Min Yu. There are annotations below the picture, and the properties of the medicine are all written.
She had read this book when she was very young. She was in her rebellious period at that time. Although she had memorized the whole book, she had only understood half of it. In addition, she had learned a lot of different things, so this book was put into the cold storage.
It was not until she came into this body that she picked up the book again because of the old lady's illness.
Although the book contains annotations for each herb recorded, various experiments are still required to truly understand the properties of the herbs.
Huo Yao read these two pages over and over again. She remained squatting for a long time before she closed the book. At this time, she had only a few thoughts in her mind.
Then, she flipped through the other rare books in the box, glanced through them quickly, and found nothing useful, so she quickly closed the box again, stood up, and put it back in the cabinet.
Lock the cabinet and put the key back under the flower pot.
Huo Yao walked out of the old lady's bedroom, his mind full of thoughts about the medicine. When he walked into the living room, he glanced around and saw that Min Yu was gone, so he casually asked, "Grandma, where is Min Yu?"
"Xiao Min just received a phone call. He went out for something and will be back in the evening." The old lady replied.
"Oh." Huo Yao nodded, and then said: "By the way, my stove..."
When she first asked about the books, the old lady guessed that she would also ask about the strange stove, so she pointed in the direction of the backyard and said, "I put them all in the small house in the backyard. Go find them yourself."
Huo Yao nodded and went to the backyard again.
The old lady looked at Huo Yao's back as he left, then shook her head and said to Huo Yulin casually, "Last year, this kid got a strange stove from somewhere, and he would tinker with it whenever he had time. His interests and hobbies are completely different from those of other high school students."
Hearing this, Huo Yulin remembered the equipment in the room at home, and guessed that it was probably the furnace for refining medicine. He smiled and replied, "It's rare for people to have hobbies. As long as she likes it, that's fine."
"Yes, she used to be rather dull, but after she had a serious illness, she suddenly seemed to become wiser and much more sensible..." The old lady couldn't help wiping her eyes as she thought about some past events.
Huo Yulin was not very good at comforting people. Seeing that she was a little sad, he just raised his hand and patted her on the back.
I've been stuck for a few hours, sorry, see you tonight.
