Pills that use deer blood as a medicine to strengthen your body are not very easy to make.
Qiao Huaping once again used the excuse of missing an herb, so he went into the forest and put the herbs needed for making pills into the straw basket.
Finally, to make pills, honey is also needed.
Firstly, it is for moisturizing and binding. Secondly, this honey is also a medicine, which can enhance the efficacy of the medicine.
Improving the taste is actually its most insignificant use.
However, honey is a rare commodity in this era.
Fortunately, Liujin Village used to be located in the mountains, and there were a few families in the village who would go to the cliff to collect honey.
Qiao Huaping bought some wild mountain honey from someone else. Not long after he had carried the few hundred pennies in his arms, more than half had gone out, and now he only had about two hundred pennies left.
Qiao Huaping: "...I have loved, suffered, and been rich."
Zhu Xiangyi heard somewhere that Qiao Huaping had obtained deer blood and bought honey to make pills. He rushed over and wanted to discuss it with Qiao Huaping.
As a result, I didn't even say a few words to Qiao Huaping when I came here. I just asked: "But what pills should I make?"
Qiao Huaping replied, "Strengthen your body, improve your energy and refresh your mind." Someone came running over, looking for Zhu Xiangyi in a hurry.
"Zhu, Doctor Zhu," the man was panting heavily and crying. He pulled Zhu Xiangyi's arm before he could stand still, "My grandpa, my grandpa is dying. Please come back with me and take a look!"
Zhu Xiangyi was so startled that he couldn't care about anything else. He hurriedly responded, went back to pick up the medicine box, and followed the man back.
Qiao Huaping knew that person. He was a descendant of the Guo family in Liujin Village.
The Guo family is different from other families in the village. The Guo family is a serious farming and reading family. Mr. Guo has been a scholar and has a great reputation. He doesn’t have to kneel down when he meets the county magistrate. Moreover, the Guo family is a farming family.
The land is exempt from taxes; it is even said that the Guo family brought two maids and a servant with them to escape famine, which shows that the family's wealth is strong.
The young man who said just now, "Grandpa is dying," probably meant Mr. Guo, who has the reputation of being a scholar.
Qiao Huaping didn't think much about it. Life, old age, illness and death are all things that no one has experienced.
She concentrated her mind, started to light the fire, and brewed the local honey she bought from the villagers.
The honey was so fragrant and sweet that Mei Qinghuang kept swallowing her saliva, as if there were roots growing under her feet, guarding the pot of honey.
Mei Qingying stood with her third brother, silently staring at the pot, in a daze.
Mei Qingyao, who had always claimed to be his elder brother, seemed to be standing there calmly, but if he got closer, he could hear the sound of the little guy sucking saliva.
Only Mei Qingyu helped Qiao Huaping pound the powder without raising her head.
While he was messing around, he thought, the third brother and the younger sister are too childish. The eldest brother is already eight years old and is still like a child. Now I am the only one left, so I have to help my mother more.
The seven-year-old little adult couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Huaping couldn't help laughing when she saw several children doing that. She scooped a spoonful of honey out of the pot, then used another chopstick to dip some in the honey, and gave it to the one closest to her first.
Xiao Qingying stretched out the chopsticks.
Xiao Qingying was stunned for a moment, apparently unable to react.
Qiao Huaping smiled brightly and took the honey-filled chopsticks and pecked the little girl's mouth.
Xiao Qingying licked her lips subconsciously, and her big dark almond-shaped eyes lit up instantly: "Mom, sweet!"
She took the chopstick again, stirred it in the spoon that still had a lot of honey, rubbed a lot of honey down, and reached out to Mei Qinghuang, who was the second closest to her.
Mei Qinghuang is almost crying!
Before Qiao Huaping even got close to his chopsticks, his little head reached out impatiently, and with a slurp, he licked the honey off the chopsticks.
Then came Mei Qingyao, who was not far from Qiao Huaping.
Mei Qingyao thought that she was eight years old and was the eldest brother. She had to set an example for her younger brothers and sisters! She couldn't show off her greedy appearance!
Be steady!
Qiao Huaping looked at the little guy who deliberately looked calm. She almost couldn't hold back her laughter and shook the chopsticks in her hand: "Don't you want to eat?"
Mei Qingyao: "..."
Damn it, my mother is so hateful!
Mei Qingyao tried to be steady and was thinking about how to answer to show that he was different from his younger brothers and sisters in being calm and calm, but Qiao Huaping put the chopsticks covered with honey to his mouth again.
Qiao Huaping looked at him with a smile: "Yao Yao, you are still a kid. If you want to eat, just say so. Mom loves you."
Mei Qingyao blushed and licked the honey off the chopsticks.
He felt that the honey in his mouth was very sweet, but it was even sweeter in his heart.
In the end, there was only a bit of honey left on the bottom of a spoon. Qiao Huaping walked over to Mei Qingyu, the second child, who was pounding medicinal powder.
Children who have always been in the middle order are the most obedient and worry-free.
But because they are obedient and worry-free, they are also the easiest to be ignored.
Qiao Huaping couldn't bear to let Mei Qingyu be ignored.
"Come on, Yu Yu," Qiao Huaping winked at Mei Qingyu and stretched the spoon in front of his eyes, "Come on, open your mouth."
Mei Qingyu paused slightly as he pounded the medicine, as if hesitating, but in the end, he opened his mouth with a red face, and with Qiao Huaping's hand, he ate all the honey in the spoon.
He lowered his eyes, his mouth still filled with the sweet taste of honey.
...it's really sweet.
After feeding the four children this rare product, Qiao Huaping started to refine the wild mountain honey again.
When the wild mountain honey was boiled to a dark reddish-brown state, Qiao Huaping fully mixed the medicinal powder and old honey according to the proportion, and kneaded it into a lump.
Qiao Huaping accurately divided the dough-like lump into roughly the same size and began to knead the pills.
Her skill with her hands was very good, and she controlled the size of the pills almost exactly. After a while, in the bowl in front of her, the round and distinct pills piled up into a small mountain.
Qiao Huaping finished rubbing the pills, and finally took a small pill and threw it into his mouth.
The pill quickly melted into the mouth, and the sweet taste overflowed, and the whole person felt that his energy was greatly invigorated.
Well, not bad, the taste is very good, and the effect of the medicine is also very good, she is worthy of it!
Mei Qinghuang looked a little eager to eat, and stood there eagerly watching.
Seeing Qiao Huaping looking over, he smiled at Qiao Huaping, revealing a small pear dimple, which looked very delicate: "Mom, this pill looks delicious..."
He looked like he was drooling.
Qiao Huaping burst out laughing. This foodie even wanted to have a taste of medicine.
"Here, take one pill each," Qiao Huaping handed out four small pills for strengthening the body to the four Mei brothers. "This is medicine. You can't take more. Just take one and taste it."
