Su Ho was not careless either. He quickly prepared the large wooden barrels and other utensils, boiled a pot of water and cleaned them inside and out.
Originally, it was most suitable to use pottery to decoct medicine. However, the medical center was looking for a large quantity and did not have such large pottery or stoves to decoct medicine. It could only use a large pot to boil more medicine at a time.
Su Ho carefully washed her hands with soap outside the yard, then put on white gloves. She opened the medicine bag, shook out the powder a little, then closed the medicine bag to prevent the medicinal materials from scattering. Finally, she added enough to cover the pot.
The water used in the medicine package is water from a large water tank.
Su Ho explained: "Generally, medicinal materials need to be soaked in cold water for two quarters of an hour before being boiled. Then they can be boiled over firewood."
Fu Bao nodded.
She was not in a hurry and just played in the yard for a while. Soon, the time was up. Su Ho did not pour out the water, but continued to use the soaked water to directly stuff firewood into the stove and put the firewood up.
Soon the simmer started to rise.
Fu Bao asked curiously, "Why do we need to set up this firewood?"
Su Ho was not so nervous now. Fu Bao seemed to her to be a curious child now. Su Ho suddenly relaxed a lot. She smiled and said: "This firewood, if it is piled in a pile without air, it will not be good."
If you light a fire, it is easy to extinguish. After setting it up, there will be a gap in the middle, and if the wind can get in, it will be easy to light."
Su Ho added: "But I don't know what the principle is. Farmers all use stoves or large stoves. The technique of making fire, big or small, is quite familiar to me."
In other words, if Su Ho uses a large stove to decoct medicine, he doesn't have to worry about mastering the heat. I dare not say that after so many years of dealing with stoves, Su Ho still has the skill to master the heat.
Fu Bao nodded, "I learned it."
Mr. Shi also assigned homework, requiring them to observe small things in life and write an article. Fubao decided to write about making fire and decoction.
Su Ho quickly decoctioned the medicine, and first boiled it over high heat. After about half a quarter of an hour, he took out some firewood and extinguished it to reduce the fire. She said: "In this way, it will be enough to boil it for less than half an hour."
Already."
The aroma of the medicine in the pot also gradually spread, not the kind of bitter medicinal aroma, but something with a refreshing fragrance.
The color of the water slowly changed from transparent to slightly yellow, and as the cooking time increased, the yellow color became more obvious.
Soon, a large pot of potion was boiled. Su Ho changed his gloves and took a wooden spoon to scoop the hot potion into a large wooden bucket.
This large wooden barrel is very strong, and the gaps are tightly sealed, so there is no problem of leakage. It is also large enough to be filled, and the wooden barrel will not affect the aroma and effectiveness of the potion. A wooden barrel is about as tall as a Fu Bao, so this
The cauldron of potion was filled with three wooden barrels, which were full and just right.
Su Ho said happily: "It's done!"
Fu Bao said: "Wait a minute, I'll ask my uncle to come and see."
Jiang Xi happened to be free at the moment. Hearing that Su Ho's potion had been boiled, he followed him over.
Su Ho said: "Fifth Master."
Jiang Xi nodded, took another bowl and scooped out a spoonful. The color was very good, and the taste and aroma were also good. He took another sip, and it was sweet and slightly bitter, with the fragrance of medicinal materials, which was very good.
He nodded: "Not bad."
Su Ho finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, it was approved by his master.
Fu Bao also said: "Then let Su Ho cook the potion."
Su Ho nodded: "Okay, young lady."
This decoction is made several times a day. The first decoction plus soaking in cold water takes less than half an hour, more or less. The second and third decoction time is even shorter, which is equivalent to the same medicine Suho.
It can be cooked in less than two hours every day.
If there are more herbs to cook, it may take longer. Fubao plans to build two more stoves in this wing. If several stoves are started at the same time, Suho will be busy. How many functions will be used by then?
Decoction of different medicines together still takes the same amount of time, but the output is greatly improved.
After thinking about it, Fu Bao planned to get it later. Now she stared at the tea curiously and said, "Uncle, should I try it?"
Jiang Xi dotes on Fubao very much, but he refuses to give her the dehumidification potion: "Fubao, good boy, you can't drink this dehumidification potion. Your children can't drink it."
Fu Bao pouted, "Okay."
However, Jiang Xi waved his hand and told Xiong Daxiong Er to call other people in the medical center to rest together and drink a cup of herbal tea to relieve fatigue.
After a while, the doctors at the hospital, Qin Xuan, Xu Qingshan, and Xiong Daxiong, all came over in turn to drink herbal tea, and everyone was full of praise.
"This herbal tea is okay. It doesn't taste bitter or astringent, and it has a sweet aftertaste!"
"This is really good. I feel like people feel better after drinking it. This will definitely be a big seller!"
"This herbal tea can be drunk cold or hot. It's really good."
"That's all thanks to my little boss. His intelligence is unparalleled!"
Everyone was talking and laughing, and soon half the bucket of potion was gone.
Su Ho also met everyone in the medical clinic and got to know everyone he would work with in the future, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Fu Bao didn't get too excited after being praised. Instead, she counted how many bowls of potion she had just drank. She drank about twelve bowls in total. Fu Bao took a look at the current water level in the barrel, which was close to normal, which is about the same.
Fifteen bowls of potion are half a bucket.
That is to say, one bucket of potion contains about thirty bowls of water, and three buckets equals ninety bowls of water. This water is different from the water that was just poured in. When you pour the water into it, there are eighty or ninety bowls full of water. After decoction, the potion is
Although it has evaporated and dissipated a bit, it is still less than one bowl when poured out to drink, so the number of bowls is about eighty or ninety bowls.
Fu Bao asked Xu Qingshan what the price of this medicinal material was.
Xu Qingshan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Red beans, poria, coix seed... the quantity is large, almost fifty cents."
Fu Bao... Fu Bao's eyes widened.
"Fifty cents?"
Xu Qingshan nodded: "Yes, little boss."
Fu Bao is excited! Fu Bao is hallucinating!
There are so many medicinal materials at this price!
A dose of medicine is counted as decoction twice, not three times. According to the two times, even if there is loss in the second time, there should be 780 bowls. The two times add up to 160 to 170 bowls of medicine.
of.
And the cost is only fifty cents!
If a bowl of potion sells for two cents, it can also be sold for three hundred and twenty to three hundred and forty cents!
This may not seem like much, but it is six or seven times the cost! It is simply a huge profit!
It’s not a hassle!
Don’t worry about having no place to sell it! This is simply a net profit!
Fubao was excited and immediately made the decision: "Sell! Sell now!"
