Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?
Chapter 3 Testing Medicine
After Cao Anping returned home, he lit the stove with great difficulty, and the empty room finally had a little warmth.
He opened the cupboard and found two grain bags containing two-grain flour and corn flour. But he didn't know how to cook, so he could only take out three sweet potatoes and roast them on the stove.
Then he took out the deer antlers and longan, and then took out the 12 kinds of medicinal materials that he had prepared earlier from the space, weighed the doses, and placed them on the chopping board in different categories, and then he found a rusty wok.
The wok in his house hasn't been used for two months. After all, there is no oil to cook, and the wok is not needed for boiling sweet potatoes or steaming steamed buns, so the old man is reluctant to use it.
Cao Anping was quite speechless. This iron pot would rust and break if it was not used any more. People of that era were really simple and honest.
He placed a raised ceramic rack on the stove, which would not affect the roasting of the sweet potatoes and would also reduce the fire, because the medicinal materials need to be stir-fried slowly over low heat, thus killing two birds with one stone.
After scrubbing the pot clean and preheating it, Cao Anping poured all the prepared medicinal materials into the wok and kept stir-frying them. Soon, the unique fragrance of Chinese medicinal materials wafted out.
Fry dry, grind, add water to boil, and roll into balls while hot. He is familiar with the whole process. After all, it is not the first time he has done this job. Doctors in the city only need to prescribe medicine, but which barefoot doctor cannot make some panaceas by hand? The main thing is that they will not kill people.
The first batch of medicinal materials was rolled into 12 soybean-sized pills, which Cao Anping carefully placed on oil paper to dry.
"Gulu~"
Whether it's stir-frying or boiling, slow work produces fine results. It's probably noon now, and my stomach has finally protested according to its biological clock.
Picking up the three roasted sweet potatoes that were slightly browned, Cao Anping began to gobble them up voraciously, not caring about the heat, and finished them in a few bites.
"Ah, as expected, the little boy has a big appetite. Three fist-sized sweet potatoes are enough to fill his stomach. I have to find a way to go to the city to make money as soon as possible. There is also a lottery system. If I live in a courtyard house, I will definitely be very successful." Cao Anping's thoughts drifted away and he began to have wild thoughts.
With nothing to do, I started to explore the function of space, and after repeated experiments, I came to the conclusion:
The space is roughly a cube with a side length of 10 meters. It is in a state of time standing still. Independent objects can be collected through the air, with a maximum distance of about 17 meters. Living things cannot be collected. Apart from that, there is nothing special.
Due to the cold weather, the pills had cooled and taken shape. Cao Anping rolled the pills in flour and then put two pills into a small porcelain bottle.
He picked up the last pill, thought about it, shook his head and put it back into the porcelain bottle. He was a single guy, and no matter whether the Dragon Essence Tiger Meng Pill was successful or not, he was not suitable for drug testing.
So he picked up two small porcelain bottles, put them in his pocket, closed the door, and went to find someone to test the medicine.
"Knock knock~" Cao Anping knocked on the door of the village chief's house. After all, he saw that the village chief seemed very anxious. There was nothing to do in this cold weather. The Dragon Essence and Tiger Fertilizer Pills were just the right time for him.
"It's Doctor Cao, come in and warm yourself by the fire." The person who opened the door was the village head's wife, Wang Shuqin. When she saw that it was Cao Anping, she happily let him into the main room.
When her newly born grandson fell ill, she asked Grandpa Cao to treat him, so she was naturally very enthusiastic.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang." Cao Anping walked into the house and saw six or seven people sitting around the stove, chatting and laughing while eating pumpkin seeds.
The village chief's family is different. The whole family burns coal for heating at home and has snacks.
The family is prosperous, with two sons, two daughters-in-law, a 14-year-old younger son, and a 1-year-old grandson, a total of eight people in the family, not counting the old man Qin and his wife next door and Qin Dashan's brothers. No wonder the village chief is so stable.
If Yi Zhonghai, the uncle from Yard 95, saw this, he would be jealous to death.
"Anping is here, come sit down, warm yourself by the fire, and eat some pumpkin seeds." Qin Dashan had some guesses in his mind, pointed to an empty stool, and grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds for Cao Anping.
"Uncle Qin, I won't sit down. I've already prepared that." Cao Anping mentioned it vaguely when he saw that there were so many people around, and gave Qin Dashan a look that said 'you know'.
Qin Dashan's eyes lit up, he stood up and went into the kitchen next door, saying, "Anping, come here."
The whole Qin family was puzzled. What was going on? Wang Shuqin asked, "What's the matter, head of the family? Do you want Doctor Cao to prescribe any medicine?"
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Qin Dashan is the boss at home.
Cao Anping scratched his head awkwardly and followed him into the kitchen, leaving the whole family staring at him in confusion.
Entering the kitchen, Qin Dashan asked anxiously, "Is it ready so soon?"
"Yes, it took the whole morning." Cao Anping nodded.
"Have you tried the medicine?"
"It's not appropriate for a grown-up like me to try out drugs." Cao Anping smiled helplessly.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, handed it to Qin Dashan, and said, "I guarantee that even if the medicine is not very effective, it will not cause any harm if you take it. Why don't you try it yourself or ask someone to try it? Just swallow it with warm water."
Anyway, Cao Anping is still very confident in the system and there won’t be any problems.
Qin Dashan thought about it and it was true. If the young man took this medicine, it would be bad if he made any mistakes.
So without saying much, he opened the porcelain bottle and smelled it. A medicinal fragrance came out, and he felt much more relieved. He stroked his beard and fell into thought.
In less than a minute, Qin Dashan smiled and said, "Anping, stay in this room and warm yourself by the fire. I'll be out for a while."
Qin Dashan put the porcelain bottle in his pocket, put on a cotton hat and went out.
Watching Qin Dashan's back as he walked out, Cao Anping was full of doubts: "Isn't he testing the medicine? Why did he go out? Could it be that the village chief has a lover outside? Tsk tsk..."
He returned to the main room, picked up an empty stool, sat down next to Qin Dashan's youngest son Qin Youcai, and stretched out his hand to warm himself by the fire.
"Brother Anping, what are you talking about with my dad? It's so mysterious?" Qin Youcai asked curiously, and others also cast curious glances at him.
Just now it was because of the authority of Qin Dashan as the head of the family, otherwise the whole family would have started asking questions a long time ago.
"Nothing, I just want to ask Uncle Qin for help." Both of Qin's sisters-in-law are here, so he can't talk about that matter.
In this era, women can talk about anything, and men can make dirty jokes, but the rules for unmarried young men and women are quite strict. If they cross the line, they will be suspected of being hooligan.
Cao Anping could only change the subject and start chatting with the Qin family.
"Little Doctor Cao, Grandpa Cao has passed away, and now you are all alone. Why don't you get married soon? Is there any girl in this village that you like? Auntie can help you find a suitable one."
Wang Shuqin started the matchmaking job that was most loved by women of that era.
"I'm not old enough yet, so I'd better pass the medical qualification exam first."
How come even though he traveled through time and space and became an orphan, there are still people urging him to get married? Cao Anping was speechless.
On the other side, Qin Dashan came to a courtyard and pushed open the gate, shouting as he walked: "Brother Dafeng, I have something good for you."
Inside the house, a slightly older man came out to greet them and asked with a smile, "What good things do you have for me, village chief?"
If Cao Anping were here, he would recognize that this man is Qin Dafeng, the father of the protagonist Qin Huairu. Half of the people with the surname Qin in Qinjia Village are brothers within the fifth degree of mourning.
Qin Dashan did not enter the house. He pulled Qin Dafeng to the corner of the eaves and whispered, "Didn't you miss my two prescriptions last time? I asked someone to prepare them into pills. I'll give you one."
After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and gave it to Qin Dafeng.
Qin Dafeng was a little excited holding the Longjinghumeng Pills. Last time, a few old men were bragging, and this village chief boasted that the ten-dollar medicine could last for half an hour. He was very envious, but unfortunately no one was willing to go to the city and buy it at a high price.
"Is the effect really as good as you said?"
"Of course. I can't lie to you. Just take it with warm water." Qin Dashan said without hesitation.
"Well, don't you have another one in your bottle? Give them all to me. It's not easy for me to keep them." Qin Dafeng stretched his neck to look into the porcelain bottle.
"I'll give you one first, and come back to me after you use it." Qin Dashan thought to himself: 'You took too much, how can you give me feedback on the effect in time? I still want to save it, so it's better to give it to me right away.'
He put away the porcelain bottle, turned around and walked out of the yard, and said meaningfully: "This medicine can't be kept for a long time. Come back to me for more after you use it."
