I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 126 Aconite

Turning poison into good medicine is not that simple.

There must be aconite for sale in the market.

But people still want to buy it at a high price, which shows that the requirements are higher.

Song Jin asked casually: "How much does the other party bid? What are its requirements?"

"The other party said that the aconite sold on the market is somewhat toxic, that is, the amount would not kill a human being. However, this time the patient is too precious and there is no risk of toxicity. Therefore, the reward requires high quality and good efficacy."

Xing Lun held out a finger and said, "As long as you pass the test, in addition to the silver for medicinal materials, you will be rewarded with an additional five thousand taels of silver."

Song Jin was silent, "The bid is so high, it's most likely to save lives. Even if I concoct it, I won't be able to do it in time."

What is Hui Yang and Ji Ni?

Return Yang, restore Yang energy; save Ni, cure Juni. The reason why the other party is so eager to find aconite is mostly used in critical cases when Yang Qi is about to disappear.

To put it in layman's terms, there are people who are dying who are in urgent need of this life-saving Yang-rejuvenating medicine.

Xing Lun asked his parents and two master chefs, and they all said that they could not completely eliminate the poison of aconite. He didn't have an accurate estimate of how many days it would take Song Jin to prepare this.

"Master, will it take many days to bake?"

"It will take seven days at the earliest, and the process is complicated."

In his previous life, Song Jin knew a method of preparing water and fire, which could not only minimize the toxicity, but also improve the efficacy of the medicine. It's just that this method of preparation does not come from Song's Pharmacopoeia.

It was Song Jin who saved an old man in his previous life. Unexpectedly, the man was an old medicine worker who fled from Nancheng County and came to Huizhou. The old man saw that Song Jin was interested in preparing medicinal materials, so he gave her guidance for a while. Otherwise, with just a pharmacopoeia and no one showing him the way, Song Jin would only be able to learn it on paper.

Song Jin asked again: "Do you know who is offering the reward?"

"I heard that those who come to Huizhou Prefecture with a certain nobleman from the capital will have a reward guaranteed by the Yamen, so they don't have to worry about encountering a liar."

Xing Lun came to Song Jin only after he figured it out.

Song Jin heard him mention noble people.

He subconsciously thought of He Lianpu.

Song Jin met He Lianpu twice.

The aura of nobility surrounding him was overwhelming, and one could tell at a glance that he was of extraordinary origin.

Even though Qin Chi didn't elaborate on his uncle's origins, Song Jin could see the signs with an extra lifetime of experience.

Then there is Helian Pu's illness.

Song Jin was not sure if the person who was in urgent need of medicinal materials was He Lianpu, but when he mentioned a noble person from the capital and someone who was sick, he obviously fit the bill.

With only one or two doubts, Song Jin also decided to concoct the aconite first, but still ordered: "Let people go and inquire more."

Inquiring is one thing, concocting it is another.

Xing Lun brought more than ten kilograms of Aconitum roots to the pharmacy this time. They had been cleaned and there was no dirt on them.

Song Jin put on leather gloves and checked them one by one.

The skin of Aconitum root is black.

This thing is highly poisonous at first glance.

When he saw Song Jin picking it up, Yinlong hurried over and said, "Miss, let me do it. This thing is poisonous. If you get it, you'll be in trouble."

"It's okay, I'm wearing gloves."

Song Jin carefully picked out the best quality parts, and let Xing Lun handle the rest by himself, "Aunt Long asked the medicine boy to fetch a basin of water, and then asked someone to go to the utility room to get an hourglass, and change it in four hours. A basin of water."

"Should we add salt to the water?"

Yinlong asked one more question.

Soaking in salt water can effectively detoxify.

But not the one used by Song Jin.

It is soaked in clean water and the water needs to be changed every four hours, which means the water needs to be changed three times a day.

This process is not difficult, but it is time-consuming. She can have someone do it for her, but she has to do the rest herself, and she has to arrange things at home beforehand.

Mainly it's about the two kids.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"How many days did you say you were going to stay at the pharmacy?" Li looked at Song Jin doubtfully.

"right!"

Song Jin found an excuse, "There is something important in the pharmacy, and I want to see it in person." Mrs. Li still trusted her daughter-in-law, but as a daughter-in-law, she had been away from home for several days, and no normal mother-in-law would agree.

"You left home alone as a woman without an acquaintance to accompany you. It will not sound good if word spreads. Even if I believe you, what about others?" It's not that Li is deliberately making things difficult for Song Jin, this is a fact.

"Aunt Long will accompany you."

Song Jin could only mention Yinlong.

Yinlong has lived in the Qin family for a long time, so Li naturally knows about her, but she still hesitates.

You must know that in this world, if an unmarried woman spends a night alone, her reputation will be ruined. Married women are not so demanding.

But also if her husband’s family is open-minded.

I've been away from home for three days. How should I answer when someone asks me?

He said he was going to a pharmacy to work, but there were always some people who were loudmouthed and liked to spread rumors and stir up trouble. Certain things turned sour as word spread.

Song Jin knew what Mrs. Li was worried about, "Why don't you, mother, take the two children with me to the medicine shop? Just go out and relax."

"So, is this convenient?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Li was a little moved.

Since marrying to Qinjiagou, she has never lived outside.

Song Jin smiled and said: "You can live in the medicine shop, and there are people who will help you take care of the baby. But this kind of thing will happen more often in the future..."

Mrs. Li knew that Song Jin had to go.

He simply spoke to Boss Qin.

Boss Qin thought there was no problem, so he went to the pharmacy to find them when he had time. "It's close. I'll walk faster. I'll be there in a quarter of an hour."

A man's feet are fast and he can cover several miles in a quarter of an hour.

Let Boss Qin talk about this matter.

She bluntly said that Song Jin had to go to the medicine shop to work and had to work at night. Li was worried and took her two children to accompany her.

Old man Qin didn't dare to stop it openly when it came to Song Jin's affairs, so he only asked him to leave early and come back early.

After listening for a while, Old Liu made a long face, stepped in front of them, and refused to allow Boss Qin to move anything onto the carriage.

Boss Qin frowned, "Mom, I asked dad and he agreed, please don't make trouble unreasonably."

"What are you going for? Who will do the work in the fields if you are gone?" Old Liu just wanted to find trouble.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be back to work during the day." Boss Qin also knows that the family is very busy at this time, especially in addition to the work in the fields, there is also a medicine field this year.

The salvia grown in the medicinal fields grew better than expected.

It will be harvested in half a month.

The second and third sons alone are too busy to keep up.

Mrs. Li hadn't handed over the money for half a year, and Mrs. Liu had long been holding back her anger. "You're not allowed to go. I can't say for sure. No one can go out."

"What do you want to do?" Boss Qin also got angry.

"Your wife hasn't paid any money to the public school for half a year! If she wants to go out, she should first hand over the money she's been short of for the past six months."

Old Liu finally revealed his purpose.

This commotion is all because of money.

Song Xiu was washing clothes in the yard and gloating, "That's right! Brother, we don't raise free-loaders in the family."

"Why are you everywhere?"

Song Jin glanced at Song Xiu coldly, then turned to look at Old Qin, "Grandpa, don't you talk about grandma? My mother-in-law has been taking care of the children and has no time to do embroidery work."

"My vision is blurry. I won't embroider anything anymore." Li, who was originally quiet, suddenly said something.

This sentence is undoubtedly equivalent to a bolt from the blue.

Mrs. Liu, who had been sitting at home collecting money for twenty years, suddenly lost this income, which was equivalent to cutting her flesh.

Old Man Qin didn't expect this, "Boss, wife, is this really the reason?"

Mrs. Li looked at Old Man Qin with a faint look, "If you don't believe me, you can go outside and find out what happens to the eyes of people my age who do embroidery."

Now even Song Jin looked at Li with concern.
