Together With the System to Become a Pharmacist at Once a Doctor
Chapter 36's
Wang Yao took some herbs from the hut, then tried to differentiate them using his knowledge of herbs.
Angelica: too dry—not good!
Astragalus: hard skin, perforated inside—not good!
Salvia: too long and thin, light color—not good either!
After checking all the herbs he bought, he found all those herbs seemed to be of low quality. Although it can be used to brew stews, the quality is much lower than good ones. With a high-quality herb, one decoction will probably have a better effect. With low-quality herbs, at least three herbs were needed to make an effect. In addition, even herbs have side effects. So it is very important to choose a good quality herbal plant.
There are many things to watch out for when brewing potions!
Ding!
Task: Create ten different formulas in seven days. There is no repetition.
“What do you mean by no repetition?” asked Wang Yao.
There is no repetition of what you did before.
“How about brewing one decoction ten times?” asked Wang Yao.
Don't be silly!
Damnit damnit! Got something to do again. Seven days, ten formulas, time is limited.
Wang Yao wasted no time. He went inside the cottage to do some research online and used his books. Plus, the knowledge he already had, he spent the entire afternoon deciding on the ten formulas he would make. He also made a list of herbs needed to make ten formulas. Fifty-seven herbs are required. Some of them can be used in different formulas so this is not the most difficult part.
With the herbs present, Wang Yao was able to make one of the ten formulas.
After he made up his mind, he picked up, weighed, washed and soaked the potion before he started brewing. He is efficient and careful.
Ephedra, Cassia Branch, Almond, Licorice…
Wang Yao worked until 2am. He finally succeeded after three attempts.
Ephedra decoction: a warm-spicy herb that removes excess.
After packing his things and resting for a few hours, it was already dawn. He woke up to work in the field of herbs as usual. He got rid of the weeds and watered the plants with ancient springs.
He then called home after checking the time. He asked his mother to guard the herb fields for him as he went to the city. Wang Yao went to the city after a short talk with his mother.
“Don't be in a hurry, Yao,” said her mother before she left.
…
“Hey, young man, here it is again!” the shop assistant said as he looked at Wang Yao, "What are you going to buy this time?"
“This is it, this is the list.” Wang Yao handed the list over to the shop assistant.
“Jeez, this is a lot!” The shop assistant was surprised.
“Sorry to trouble you,” said Wang Yao.
“Don't worry about that. Please wait here,” said the shopkeeper.
“Can I come with you inside?” w.a.n.g Yao asked who wanted to take the opportunity to study herbs.
“Sure, come with me,” said the shop assistant.
Ginseng is not old enough.The color of shiny ganoderma is gray and white—not good.sealwort is not at all like I planted.
Wang Yao discovered that all the herbs stored here were of low quality after assessing them using his knowledge he learned from the system. Even with artificial cultivation, the quality of herbs came out differently. In some cases, the herb is grown in an unplanted environment, such as a free area. The herb comes out in lower amounts but higher quality. The herbs stored here were all from large-scale artificial cultivation. It is cheaper to do it that way, but herbs come out in higher quantities but of lower quality.
The shopkeeper took two hours to prepare all the potions, which filled two large bags to the brim.
“Thank you very much!” w.a.n.g Yao said after he paid the money.
“This is my contact number. Call me directly before you come next time. ” Shop assistant gave Wang Yao her mobile number. After a few meetings, they begin to get to know each other.
“Sure, see you again!” said Wang Yao.
Wang Yao needed a lot of effort to bring the two herbal bags up the hill.
“Yao, what did you buy!?” zhang Xiuying asked as she watched her son carry two large bags. He was sweating all over his head.
“Herbal,” said Wang Yao.
“I understand. Are you going to make more potions? ” asked Zhang Xiuying.
"Yes," Wang Yao replied, "I'll take over from here, you can go home to rest now."
“OK, don't forget to go home for dinner!” zhang Xiuying.
“I don't want to!” said Wang Yao.
Wang Yao started working as soon as Zhang Xiuying left. He sorted through the herbs and picked out what he needed, then started brewing the herbs.
It was a tedious process to brew potions, and Wang Yao had to keep an eye on the flames the entire time. But even with the multifunctional pot for herbs, Wang Yao did not dare to slack off.
In fact, Wang Yao felt bored while brewing decoctions in the beginning. He just wants to finish the job. But gradually, he found it interesting. Maybe it has something to do with his personality. Wang Yao was a quiet person and he enjoyed doing research on topics he was interested in. There is a lot of knowledge about brewing potions. Every time he found something new, he made a note of it.
Wang Yao managed to make the formula again at night. This one is similar to decoction of ephedra with the same effect to remove the surface. But the components are different.
Wang Yao felt relieved after he made the formula. He saw it only a few minutes after eight nights. He still had time to make another formula, but he decided to pack up and have a good rest tonight so that he had the energy to make the potion the next day.
Wang Yao instantly fell asleep after a busy day.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard San Xian barking. He's getting up soon.
After putting on his clothes, he walked out of the hut with a torch and a short stick. He saw someone more than ten meters away from him. He chased after the man for a while before he stopped. The man did not return to the village. Instead, he went deeper into the hill.
“San Xian, come back!” called Wang Yao.
San Xian limped back. He was extremely loyal to Wang Yao.
Who in the middle of the night ran so fast! He had the guts to run around the hill; wasn't he afraid of meeting ghosts!?
