Chapter 137 Boiling Medicated Bath Water
Chapter 137 Boiling Medicinal Bath Water
After Tong Li left, Qu Rui couldn't help but step forward and observe the acupuncture position at close range.
In fact, it is most difficult to prick acupuncture points like Manman's, which are thin and have only a layer of skin left. The main reason is that it is difficult to grasp the position. If you are not careful, it is easy to prick the acupuncture points in the wrong direction, and it is easy to injure the muscle base.
He still can't understand why Tong Li stabbed him like this?
Does this really work?
The servant took Tong Li to the backyard, and the smell of medicine became stronger as he went inside. The strong smell of Chinese medicine spread everywhere, making the inside and outside of the villa filled with the smell of medicine.
People who are not used to smelling it will feel suffocated inexplicably.
The servant couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with his hands to reduce the irritation of the medicinal smell.
From their position, they could vaguely see the large pot standing in the yard.
Following Tong Li's instructions, they put 500 kilograms of water in a large pot, then added the previously prepared medicinal materials, and continued to simmer over medium to low heat. They added a bag of medicinal materials every hour for a total of 8 hours.
They started cooking it in the early morning, and towards the end, the smell of the medicine became stronger and stronger, almost like a poison gas bomb. Everyone wore several layers of masks to reduce the smell of the medicine.
She thought they would prefer to wear gas masks if they could.
As soon as Tong Li came over, he saw a group of people. The exhausted people were leaning together, their brows furrowed, and some people thought they were enduring some kind of torture.
Seeing Tong Li and the others arriving, the servants were immediately frightened and stood up, standing in a row.
The rules of the Qu family are very strict. If Madam knew that they were slacking off, everyone would probably have to pack up and leave.
Tong Li ignored their behavior and walked up to the pot, watching the smoke rising from the pot, and the rich aroma of medicine penetrated into her nostrils. The medicine was fragrant and mellow, dark brown in color, and cooked well.
Tong Li asked them to separate the potion and give it to Qu Manman for a bath half an hour later.
The servant was ordered to quickly bring out the bucket to collect the potion.
They took a large pot of potion into buckets and took them into the bathroom.
For today, Mrs. Qu's wife specially customized a bathtub specially designed for bathing. There is a seat inside, and a protective rail is installed on it to put the person in and secure it so that she is not afraid of falling.
After they poured all the potion into the wooden barrel, Tong Li took out a ceramic bottle from his body and sprinkled the powder inside.
The medicinal powder and the liquid inside immediately reacted violently. The originally calm medicine suddenly boiled like 100-degree boiling water, making a gurgling sound, and then billowing white smoke erupted.
In the blink of an eye, the entire bathroom was enveloped in white smoke and nothing could be seen.
The two servants next to him were stunned, their eyes full of panic, and the smoke obscured their sight.
But the scene of the boiling potion just now was deeply imprinted in their minds, and accompanied by the gurgling sound in their ears, they were frightened.
Is this really for taking a bath? Will it make people feel comfortable immediately after putting it down?
A servant reacted and immediately turned on the exhaust fan to remove the excess mist. Gradually the smoke faded, revealing the original appearance of the bathroom.
They looked worriedly at the potion in the bucket, and then at the seemingly harmless Tong Li.
No matter how they looked at it, they all felt that what Tong Li put down just now was not something good.
But these are the master's affairs, and they dare not say or ask.
After about 10 minutes, the liquid and powder were fully integrated, and the surface of the liquid gradually returned to calm. Tong Li took out another bottle and poured it in.
There was no movement in this bottle, but the original dark-brown potion gradually faded from its original color, from dark to light, orange...bright yellow, and then turned into pure white.
Chemical reagent? But there is no precipitated substance at all.
They couldn't understand how Tong Li did it.
A seemingly ordinary bottle of medicinal powder can actually turn the turbid potion into pure white. Moreover, the strong smell of medicine is gone, and instead a faint floral fragrance wafts out.
This is something that chemical reagents cannot do.
Tong Li looked at the time and felt it was almost time, so he sent someone to notify Qu Rui to bring him over.
Not long after, Qu Rui came over with Qu Manman in his arms.
Seeing the water in the bucket, there was a little surprise on his face.
Those Chinese medicines were arranged by him. Even if there was a lot of water, they should not be this color when brewed.
"Qingshui?" Qu Rui asked doubtfully.
"Yeah." Tong Li didn't bother to explain and nodded.
Qu Rui was not stupid and did not believe her lies. The two looked at each other and laughed.
Xiyou, who was standing behind him, didn't know what kind of riddle they were playing. He looked at this and that, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
He reminded them loudly and angrily: "The water is getting cold, put people in quickly."
Qu Rui then handed the person over to the servant and turned around to go out.
The servant took off her clothes and carefully put her into the bathtub. Tong Li observed for a while that everything was going on normally.
Let them keep an eye on the person and then pick him up after an hour.
Then she came to the living room, where tea had been prepared for her outside.
Grapefruit ate every bite, and from time to time harassed Qu Rui with pastries.
Qu Rui shook his head every time and pushed away helplessly.
Seeing Tong Li come out, the helplessness on his face immediately turned into a smile: "How is it?"
Tong Li said nothing, walked over and sat down.
Qu Rui poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to her.
Tong Li reached out and took it. In the past, she always liked to make tea by herself.
Thinking back to the time I spent enjoying myself in the mountains, I felt quite sad.
In the past, she liked to set up a table, a chair and a pot of tea when the sunset was red, and then start admiring the red flowers, the sunset, and the moonrise alone.
It's just that after arriving here, time is tight. She is either running around or running around every day. It has been a long time since she sat down and tasted a pot of tea.
Tong Li put the tea cup in her hand under the tip of her nose and smelled it. The tea had a rich and pure aroma, and the color was clear and transparent. On the surface, everything looked good.
She took a slight sip, and a slight bitter taste spread in her mouth, slowly rising to a hint of sweetness. This time the sweetness was good, but it was far from what she had.
Tong Li put down the tea cup and calmed down: "I'll take a look after taking the medicinal bath."
"Um!"
Xiyou's eyes rolled and he looked at them angrily. He picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth to vent his emotions.
Qu Rui randomly raised a topic: "Do you have the habit of drinking tea?"
"Yeah! I'll make a pot of it when I have free time."
"I have some jars of fine tea. I'll give you one another day."
"Thanks……"
The two picked up a topic and started chatting all over the place. Qu Rui found that Tong Li really knew a lot. She knew various herbal habits and even planting methods.
Moreover, medicine is not her main profession. According to her, she only studied it incidentally. If she specialized in medicine, her achievements would be sensational.
But now she is powerful enough.
