Wang Yao took a short break at home after he returned from his grandparents' place. He returned to Nanshan Hill and found Wang Mingbao.
“Hai, what are you doing here?” asked Wang Yao.
“I need to ask you something,” Wang Mingbao said.
“What?”
“Grandfather I caught a cold a few days ago. He had a cough and fever, and he could not sleep well at night. Can you prescribe some herbs for her? You told me that you could prescribe herbs last time, ” Wang Mingbao said.
Wang Yao did not hide the fact that he could prescribe herbs for his best friend.
“Grandfather has taken medicine yet?” asked Wang Yao.
“Yes, but that doesn't make much of a difference. The fever is back, so I'm here to see if you can help,” Wang Mingbao said.
“Is it wet cough or dry cough?” asked Wang Yao.
“Wet cough,” said Wang Mingbao.
“OK, give me a minute. Let me see what I can do,” said Wang Yao.
It didn't take long for Wang Yao to find a suitable herbal formula for Wang Mingbao's grandfather, but the effect might not be the best.
Should I add something? thought Wang Yao. She can't sleep well at night.so of course!
He still had some Moonlight potions left that absorbed the moonlight essence. It can calm the nerves to improve sleep quality. Wang Yao decided to add some Moonlight potions into the formula.
“I'll make herbs for your grandfather. It's gonna take time. Do you want to come back later to pick it up?” asked Wang Yao.
“How about bringing it to me on the way home at night?” wang Mingbao's Advice.
“Well, it's not a good idea to bring people's medicine, even herbs to their homes during the Lunar New Year. Although it is superstition and you may not believe it, the older generation believes it,” Wang Yao said.
“OK, how long will it take?” ask Wang Mingbao.
“Only more than one hour.”
“I understand. I'll wait here.”
“You sure?”
“Ya.”
“OK, sit down, let me make you a cup of tea.” Wang Yao went to make Wang Mingbao a cup of tea then he started the process of brewing the herbs.
Ten minutes passed and Wang Mingbao began to regret his decision. It was boring for him to see his friend Wang Yao pour all his heart and soul into the stew drink. But Wang Mingbao also admired his friend. He slowly drew closer to the fire, not out of curiosity, but because of the warmth that the fire brought to him.
It did not take long to remove the special herbal aroma from the multifunctional pot.
“Aready?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked after he smelled the stew. This was the first time he had observed Wang Yao brewing potions. It seemed different to the way his grandmother was brewing potions at home.
“Not yet, it's still a long time,” said Wang Yao.
The smell of the herbs only indicates the herbal essence that is starting to melt into the decoction.
The stew was boiling in the pot. Wang Yao sat in front of the pot like a monk. He only added some firewood from time to time.
The decoction is almost ready according to the herbal formula.
“Just need one more potion,” said Wang Yao.
He stuffed two leaves of the Moonlight herb into the pot. The green leaves immediately melted and Wang Yao moved the pot away from the fire.
It's finished!
Wang Yao poured the stew into a white porcelain bottle.
“This is the first time I've seen you make potions. You are like an artist!” admiring Wang Mingbao.
“Haha, give it to your grandfather. Tell her to drink it warm three times a day,” Wang Yao said.
“No, thank you, I have to go home; my parents are waiting for Me,” Wang Yao said.
“Oke, thanks for the hour!” w.a.n.g Mingbao said as he left the hill.
Wang Yao also left the hill in the afternoon.
The next day, Wang Yao heard orders from the system while she was working in the field of herbs.
Mission: The ability to be recognized by ten people including patients and family members. There are no home visits. There is no herbal formula.
Mission status: complete.
Done it? Really true?!
Wang Yao was surprised to hear the orders from the system. He was a bit confused, not because he was happy, but because he was shocked. He did not expect his task to be completed at this time.
Don't I need to get the confession of ten people?
Wang Yao began counting those who could potentially recognize his ability to make herbal potions—paman and his wife, Tian Yuantu's friends (not sure how many), and Wang Mingbao's grandfather. There should be about seven to eight people. How is the task completed?
Wang Yao calmed down immediately. It was a good thing to complete the task. However the rewards made Wang Yao disappointed. There are no herbs and no formulas. He was given experience points.
It seems my experience has improved a lot. Hopefully I can upgrade soon.
Wang Yao felt relieved after he finished the task because he was worried that he would be unable to complete the task by the due date.
In the next two days, Wang Yao spent most of her time visiting her relatives. Meanwhile, he went to pick up his sister from Lianshan to the house. His house suddenly became very lively.
Soon, New Year's Eve comes.
Villagers are busy attaching Chinese characters “FU” and spring festival stanzas on their doors to get ready for the Lunar New Year.
Wang Yao returned to Nanshan Hill after he helped his family prepare for the Lunar New Year. He also attached the FU character on the door of his cottage and added some food for San Xian and Da Xia.
“I won't be back tonight. Keep an eye on the herb fields for me,” he told San Xian and Da Xia.
Woof! The feed! The feed! San Xian replied loudly, as if he said, “Don't worry, leave it to us.”
The eagle also let out a loud sound in return.
“Thank you, friends.” Wang Yao touched San Xian's head and Da Xia's fur gently. “I wish you both a Happy Chinese New Year.”
Wang Yao walked around the herb fields before heading to his house. He could hear the sound of firecrackers until night. She lives with her family; they eat, chat, and sit together to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV.
Although the Spring Festival Gala gets boring every year, most people choose to watch it as a ritual for the Lunar New Year.
People started calling each other to make seasonal greetings at night. Wang Yao suddenly received a call from Tong Wei. He specifically called Wang Yao to send a seasonal greeting to him and his family, which made Wang Yao very surprised.
“Is Tong Wei the girl you met in the hospital the other day?” w.a.n.g Fenghua asked after Wang Yao hung up the phone.
“Ya,” said Wang Yao.
“I think the girl is pretty good. Is she single?” asked Wang Fenghua.
“Well, I don't think so,” said Wang Yao.
“He must be single. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called Yao,” Wang Ru said. “Act quickly if you are interested in the girl!”
“Kak, shouldn't you call your colleagues and managers? Leave me alone,” said Wang Yao.
“That girl is very good, your sister is right, you have to act quickly before others take action,” Wang Fenghua said.
