Chapter 48: Can't Herbs Just Be Dry?
When the people in the room heard her name, their eyes immediately changed from scrutiny to kindness, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Even an uncle waved to her enthusiastically, "You must be the Lu Xi that Xiaofeng mentioned, come and sit down, Ruizhi, go and pour a cup of tea for the little girl."
Another aunt pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Come, Lu Xi, sit here with auntie."
Zhao Ruizhi looked at the bustling room, smiled helplessly, and stood up honestly to pour tea.
Seeing Zhao Ruizhi standing up, Lu Xi didn't dare to trouble him, "Oh, no, no, Minister Zhao, I can do it myself."
Lu Xi didn't stop him, and was directly pulled to sit on the chair by the aunt sitting next to her. She said with a smile: "You little girl, we are so happy that you are here, why are you so surprised with a group of old people like us?"
"No, no, hello uncles and aunts, I just came to see you all." And to check on the illness by the way.
Zhao Ruizhi came over with a teacup and placed it in front of Lu Xi. Just as he was about to pour water for her, Lu Xi grabbed the pot in her own hands. She didn't dare to let an older man pour water for her.
While winking at him, she pulled the pot towards herself and said, "I can do it. No need to trouble Minister Zhao."
After getting the pot, she first added tea to the uncles and aunts at the table, and finally poured herself a cup, and then she received a circle of praise again.
She was made to feel a little embarrassed.
Zhao Ruizhi glanced at Lu Xi, who was sitting upright and only dared to sit on half of the chair, and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, we are just discussing these medicinal materials. It is your credit that I can meet so many seniors in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."
Lu Xi quickly shook her head and said, "Don't say that. This is the result of the joint efforts of our Plane Trading Department. I came here for no other reason than to see if these medicinal herbs are the same as those in our country."
"You've hit the nail on the head, Lu girl. We were just talking about this. Ninety-five percent of these herbs look the same as those in our country, and the rest should be unique to their country."
An older TCM expert added, "Moreover, not only are there more varieties, but the preparation methods and efficacy of the herbs they provide are much better than those produced with our current technology."
Lu Xi was a little confused when she heard this. She had always thought that herbs only needed to be dried, but she didn't expect there were so many details. "Are there any differences in the preparation methods of these herbs?"
Zhao Ruizhi, who was sitting next to her, looked at her confused expression and explained to her: "That's really a huge difference. The production process of these medicinal materials is very particular, and every step needs to be carefully controlled, including the picking time of the medicinal materials, the processing method, the compatibility ratio, etc. These subtle differences will directly affect the efficacy and quality of the medicinal materials."
Lu Xi understood but didn’t comprehend, and accidentally said what she was thinking: “I didn’t expect there were so many requirements. I always thought that these herbs only needed to be dried and boiled.”
A thoughtless remark made these pillars of traditional Chinese medicine burst into laughter.
Zhao Ruizhi saw the little girl blushing with embarrassment. Fearing that he might scare her away, he changed the subject directly, "In fact, it's not just the herbs. The making of their medicines is also very good. With the development of medical technology and the popularity of Western medicine, Chinese medicine rarely makes these things now."
"Indeed, it's not like before..."
Several uncles and aunts chatted with each other and continued to talk about his topic.
Lu Xi drank tea silently on the side, occasionally responding with a few words, trying to minimize her presence.
Although he looked calm, his mind was a mess: I really wanted to leave, but as soon as I brought it up, the topic would shift to me again. Oh, it's really uncomfortable to be with older people.
The cell phone vibrated slightly in Lu Xi's pocket. She took out the phone and saw that it was a call from Tian Duiyue, the head of the dormitory.
Looking at the people around her who were immersed in heated discussions, Lu Xi stood up apologetically. The aunt sitting next to her gestured for her to be casual. Lu Xi saw that she did not disturb others too much and quietly went out to answer the phone.
"Hello, Sister Yue, is there anything wrong?" Lu Xi asked softly.
"Xixi, where are you now?" Tian Duiyue's voice was full of joy. "Weiwei is also here on a business trip. We plan to get together on Sunday. I wanted to ask if you want to come with us."
Lu Xi hesitated for a moment after hearing this. The transaction had just ended, and she really had nothing to do recently. However, she didn't really want to participate in the original owner's previous social circle, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
She also understood Tian Yue's worries. After all, they had gotten along well throughout college, but since she came, they hadn't seen each other for nearly a month.
More importantly, she rarely shows up in the dormitory group, so Tian Yue must have been worried about her when he called her directly.
However, she is not the original Lu Xi after all, and the memories she received are not complete, nor do she inherit the emotions of her original body. It is impossible for her to use someone else's body and get along happily with that person's friends as written in some novels.
It was a mess, so Lu Xi refused directly, "Uh, I'm busy these days, so I may not be able to go."
Tian Duiyue on the other end of the phone was obviously a little disappointed, "Oh, so... We all really want to get together with you. Are you too busy recently? Please take care of yourself."
"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, Sister Yue, I let you down."
Tian Yue didn't say anything, and comforted her, "It's okay, Xixi, we understand, let's get together again when you have time."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xi sighed deeply, feeling more helpless.
The original owner died of natural causes, without any interference from her or the system, so she has no obligation to compensate the original owner or to live on for the original owner.
But she would do what she should do. Since she used the original owner's body, she would assume the responsibilities towards the family, including taking care of her grandmother and providing for her irresponsible parents in their old age.
For the rest, they should be cut off when necessary.
You know your own personality very well. As for your roommates or friends, even if you are still together now, your relationship may drift apart in a year.
Lu Xi put away her phone. Out of politeness and respect, she decided to say goodbye to the Chinese medicine team before leaving.
When she entered the room, she found that the topic had turned from pharmaceutical manufacturing to the ancient poison-making process. A group of people were sitting around the table, discussing heatedly. The things on the table had been replaced with various kinds of medicinal powders and pills.
Lu Xi didn't want to go there anymore. Now she was not on the first floor of the supermarket, and there was no owner protection function. If she was accidentally sucked in, it would be all over.
