Now that her parents had made up their mind, Wang Huiqiao's eyes suddenly brightened up. Regardless of the drizzle outside, she hurriedly put on a small raincoat, carried a small wire cage, and ran out like a fly: "Mom.
, I’m going to catch animals now and I’ll be back soon!”
"This child!" Ye Xiazhen and Wang Shougong looked at each other, smiled happily, and led Wang Yuefeng to the kitchen.
Wang Shougong was sitting at the dining table, while Ye Xiazhen found her daughter's self-made first-level fire gathering array from the utility cabinet, found an empty space in the corner away from the stove, placed the fire gathering array, and then set up an already-made fire gathering array on it.
There is a small iron pot that has not been used for a long time. Put clean well water in it.
Normally, if you want to add cold water when cooking medicinal materials, it is best to add boiled water that has cooled down after boiling, so she needs to prepare as much boiled water as possible now.
When a small flame appeared on the fire array, Ye Xiazhen took out the mugwort plant from her husband's deerskin package, and very carefully wrapped up all the white tubers at the root of the mugwort plant with two unused rags.
Break them off one by one, and then use two clamp-shaped thin iron sheets to carefully cut into several small pieces of equal thickness.
Then, she waited patiently for the water to boil.
Another hour later, Wang Huiqiao, dripping wet, ran back in a gust of wind. The cage was already filled with squeaking little bamboo rats, at least nine of them. Her little face was flushed, but her expression was a bit weird.
Excited and angry.
Wang Yuefeng blinked and said sincerely: "Sister, you are so powerful, you caught so many so quickly!"
She is only six years old!
"Not all of them were caught by me. Some of them were helped by Lu Zi and Qiang Qiang, but I didn't tell them what they were used for." Wang Huiqiao is not greedy for credit.
A trace of satisfaction flashed quickly in Wang Yuefeng's eyes.
My sister’s mouth is very tight!
This is better!
However, Wang Huiqiao immediately complained angrily: "Father, mother, I just saw Brother Fugui at the door of Luzi's house. He was holding an umbrella and sneaking up to see me. He immediately hid aside and refused to follow me.
Talk. I think he is peeking at us!"
Wang Shougong and Ye Xiazhen's smiles quickly faded.
Unexpectedly, in order to prevent him from selling the house secretly, the second uncle actually sent his grandson to monitor the area!
Wang Yuefeng was also very dissatisfied and frowned quickly. However, he quickly relaxed and curled his lips disdainfully: "Fugui must be here to monitor us, lest we really invite people to come and see the house! Sister, let's ignore him.
, I don’t believe how long he can stay!”
A nine-year-old child is very playful and forgetful. He has been held in the palm of his hand as a treasure since he was a child. Unlike those little gangsters who are just trying to survive, how can they have the patience to do such surveillance work?
?I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on for long, and I won't be able to help playing anymore.
So right now, I’d better get rid of this non-toxic mugwort leader first!
Wang Shougong and Ye Xiazhen looked at each other, understood what their son meant, and showed happy smiles again: "That's right, Xiao Qiao, we just do our thing!"
………………
When everything was ready, Ye Xiazhen immediately carefully threw all the thin slices of mugwort into the boiling water, and then told her daughter: "Watch this, just pay attention to controlling the fire, keep it at this level, don't increase it, every other
..." She hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the inscription on the wall: "Every two-quarters of an hour, take out a piece of bamboo with a piece of bamboo, feed it to the bamboo rats, and note the time when they develop the poison.
If there is less water, be sure to add some cold boiled water."
"Okay!" Wang Huiqiao nodded seriously.
Controlling fire and counting were too simple, and she was completely capable of it. And as long as she thought about being able to help her father in this way, she felt very happy.
Ye Xiazhen took out the remaining five-finger ginseng from the crystal box again, cut it into ginseng strips the size of the belly of her little finger, and put them into a large sealed bowl according to Wang Yuefeng's request, filled it with cold boiled water, and then put it on the stove to start.
Steam.
Wang Yuefeng reminded his family from time to time.
"Sister, be careful, don't let this water splash on you."
"Dad, don't go anywhere, just sit here with me. Otherwise, my mother and sister will be worried about you and will definitely be distracted. What if...!"
Wang Shougong, who was summoned, was both angry and amused. He nodded his finger and said, "You are not bad. You have become more energetic and you start to take care of your father?"
Wang Yuefeng sneered.
Soon, 2 quarters of an hour passed.
Without waiting for Wang Yuefeng's prompting, Wang Huiqiao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mugwort from the tumbling iron pot. After letting it cool for a while, she quickly pulled out a small bamboo rat from the cage and fed the mugwort.
Half an hour later, the energetic bamboo rat began to twitch its legs, staggered when walking, struggled a few times, fell to its feet, foamed at the mouth, and died.
Wang Yuefeng was mentally prepared, but he just glanced at it and said nothing.
Wang Huiqiao's face changed slightly, but she still looked at the quarter-hour mark on the wall responsibly, and wrote down the time when the bamboo rat was poisoned and died. At the same time, she caught the second bamboo rat, fed the second piece and cooked it for an hour.
of monkshood flakes.
Ye Xiazhen also quickly took two discarded bamboo clips, put the dead bamboo rat into a sack, and put it far away.
After another 2-quarters of an hour, the second bamboo rat also started to twitch its legs and walked strangely. However, it felt like it lasted slightly longer than the first bamboo rat.
Seeing that Wang Huiqiao was a little distracted, Wang Yuefeng immediately reminded her: "Sister!"
Wang Huiqiao suddenly woke up, quickly picked up a piece of monkshood in the pot and sliced it, then grabbed the third poor bamboo rat from the cage, and then nervously stared at the second bamboo rat that was obviously wrong, counting silently in her heart.
time.
Seeing that the hourglass on the wall had exceeded the originally expected mark, the little bamboo rat could still barely move, but it was struggling painfully.
Whether it was Wang Shougong, Wang Huiqiao, or Ye Xiazhen who was paying close attention to this matter, they all became energetic at this moment.
The toxicity has indeed been reduced!
has hope!
Wang Yuefeng was very sure of the result, but just like them, he pretended to be serious and nervous in order to avoid arousing suspicion from his family.
After waiting for a while, when the second little bamboo rat finally died, Ye Xiazhen picked up the body without hesitation and quickly put it into the previous sack again, but the anxiety and heaviness between her eyebrows had been significantly reduced.
In the next half hour, the family of four became interested in chatting because they saw the possibility of making a lot of money, buying the elixir, and saving Wang Shougong.
"Mom, if this method is successful, who should we sell it to? Is it a pharmacy?" Wang Huiqiao asked while staring at the pieces of wormwood floating in the iron pot without blinking.
"No, it's not a pharmacy. The pharmacy only collects medicinal materials and spiritual plants. This newly invented processing method has always been handled by the production room of the spiritual medicine branch of the Ling Palace." Ye Xiazhen, like her, looked at the iron pot.
His eyes were full of expectation.
"But mother, you are a spiritual warrior. The elixir branch only deals with spiritual medicine warriors. Will they not let you in?"
"Haha, Xiao Qiao, you don't have to worry. As long as you are a spiritual scholar, you can freely pass through the four major branch halls of His Highness Ling and the external public institutions under them."
"Then, if our method is really successful, how much can it be sold for?"
"This... I don't know about this, but I heard that someone sold a similar method before and could earn anywhere from 500,000 to 5 million gold coins, as well as a certain amount of contribution to the spiritual palace..."
When my mother and sister came and asked me questions, they were chatting lively, while my father sat aside and smiled and said nothing. Wang Yuefeng also took the opportunity to ask about the information he wanted to know.
"Father, mother, what does the Spiritual Palace do? In addition to the Five Elements spiritual qualifications, what other spiritual qualifications are there? Why do you have to go to the Spiritual Palace to test?"
