Chapter 199 Brewing Baicao Pill
I don't know if Yang Liqing did this a lot in the valley before. When Lu Yi came back, he saw that Yang Liqing had reconciled all the mud, and it just looked good.
To be honest, this scene was somewhat beyond Lu Yi's expectations.
If he had known that Yang Liqing was so capable, he should have given her more tasks just now.
After Yang Liqing saw Lu Yi came back, he quickly asked, "What should I do next?"
"Go chop the firewood first. I'll use the stove when I pile it up. It must be smaller."
Lu Yi conveniently put the iron pot in his hand aside for the time being, and after giving Yang Liqing another word of advice, he came to the edge of the mud pit and squatted down.
You must know that it is impossible to find a brick in this valley. As for the stones, they are all in one piece, and there is no way to use them.
If you insist on smashing it, it will take too much time.
It is far less fast than using soil to pile up.
Although Yang Liqing was slightly dissatisfied with Lu Yi's arrangement, but in the end he muttered and walked towards the wood.
He took out another ax from the house, and started chopping at the larger wood.
The main reason is that the area of the earthen stove that Lu Yi built is limited. If all the wood used is relatively large, it will not fit in, and it may cause the stove to collapse.
At that time, if the whole pot falls, it will be completely over.
So there are still certain requirements in this regard.
The division of labor for the next period of time is relatively clear. Yang Liqing will chop the firewood for use in refining the Baicao Pill later.
And Lu Yi made the reconciled mud into the size of a piece, and then placed them one by one, so that they finally formed a circular earthen stove.
In this case, it is best to place an iron pot on it for cooking.
And in order to speed up the cooking time and advance the cooking time, Lu Yi did not relax the movements of his hands at all.
And with the passage of time, more and more clay bricks were produced, which gave Lu Yi a sense of proficiency.
After a while, an earthen stove with a height of tens of centimeters was piled up.
But because these mud bricks were not completely dry, they were in a relatively soft state and not very hard, so Lu Yi then lit a fire inside while smearing the entire periphery of the clay stove with mud.
Let it dry and solidify, so that it can bear the weight of the iron pot and medicine.
Although this will waste a little time, it is also a procedure that must be done.
Otherwise, if the iron pot is placed on the earth stove, once there is any inclination, the whole pot of medicinal liquid will fall to the ground and be wasted in vain.
So in order to ensure that this kind of thing does not happen, Lu Yi can only make the best preparations.
And in this process, a large pile of chopped firewood appeared in front of Yang Liqing.
The two of them worked together for most of the day before they finally got some ideas and roughly completed the preparations before cooking.
Even Pudding next to him waited a little anxiously, lying on the ground boredly acting as a supervisor.
After finally placing the iron pot safely on the earthen stove, Lu Yi went back to the room, took out all the medicinal powder that had been ground last night, and specially made a bucket of fresh mountain spring water.
As for Yang Liqing next to him, after seeing these things, he immediately became excited.
Immediately asked: "What else can I do for you?"
The main reason was that Yang Liqing felt that the two things she did just now had no technical content.
Not enough to show your own value.
In addition, she also wanted to increase her knowledge one by one, learn about the refining of pills, so that she could explore and brew them by herself in the future.
So of course I will not be satisfied with just doing these physical labor tasks.
And Lu Yi is also very clear about Yang Liqing's thoughts, knowing that she really likes Chinese medicine very much, but for this batch of Baicao Dan to be able to be successfully brewed.
He was really worried about allowing Yang Liqing to personally participate in the cooking process, after all, according to the normal rules.The next step of the operation is to put the powder into the pot in turn.
And there is a certain proportion and duration. If this step is left to Yang Liqing, the proportion may be larger or smaller. In this case, the Baicao Dan made may not have medicinal effects, and it is possible There are certain toxins.
You must know that medicine is three-point poisonous, and a few Chinese medicines can be boiled together to cure diseases, but if the combination of them is wrong, then it is no longer a medicine, but a highly poisonous existence.
Leaving aside the fact that this Baicao Pill is mainly for Hu Niu’s wounds, Lu Yi will also take it himself at that time, so it is necessary to ensure that the medicinal effect is pure, and there is absolutely no possibility of any flaws or toxicity.
Otherwise, if you insist on taking it for a long time, you will accumulate toxins in your body, which is not conducive to your own cultivation.
Even severe toxins can affect health.
So after thinking about these questions, Lu Yi said: "Have you ever lit a fire in the valley before, and how do you know the fire?"
"I have absolutely no problem with this. When I was a kid, I often helped my senior sister make fires to cook.
Faced with Lu Yi's inquiry, Yang Liqing had almost no doubts, and Dang even swore that,
And this sentence was finally affirmed by Lu Yi, and then he arranged for him: "Later, you will control the heat, and I will stir and cook. I will also give some explanations during the process. Should do something."
"That's really great, don't worry, I will be able to finish it smoothly."
Regarding Lu Yi's decision, Yang Liqing's mood can be imagined, and he quickly responded.
After clarifying the division of labor between the two, Yang Liqing then controlled the heat. Lu Yi poured the ground medicinal powder into the pot and added a certain amount of mountain spring water.
Then use a wooden stick to stir clockwise constantly.
It is worth mentioning that in the process of brewing Baicao Dan, Lu Yi also activated his concentration skills.
Let all your mental power be devoted to the medicine, and carefully observe the changes and taste of the medicine paste in the pot.
As long as there is the slightest thing wrong, adjustments will be made immediately to ensure the final success rate.
As for what Lu Yi told Yang Liqing, they were all about some problems that might be encountered in the process of making pills, and the solutions, which can be described as full of dry goods.
And most of them are also the problems that Lu Yi discovered and solved when he brewed Baicao Dan for the first time last time.
For Yang Liqing at this stage, it is still very useful.
