I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 35 Wine Centipede

The centipedes collected by the drug store were alive because Song Jin had not yet said how to prepare them, so he did not let anyone deal with them first.

Seeing Song Jin squatting in front of the jar containing centipedes, Yinlong asked, "Has the young lady decided how to prepare it?"

"If my father were here..."

Song Jin's heart ached when she thought of her serious father, "Aunt Long, I want to make wine. Please help me prepare the rice wine first and use it when the centipedes are dried. The ratio of centipedes to rice wine is ten to one."

Preparing medicinal materials with excipients is intended to introduce the properties of the medicine and change or improve its performance.

Take the centipede for example.

For example, if soaked in wine, it can unblock the pulse, dispel wind and activate collaterals; if it is made with vinegar, it can dissipate blood stasis and treat head wind.

There are also three systems of simmering honey wine, which are designed to detoxify through the sweetness of honey, unblock the collaterals with wine, and remove dryness by simmering, so as to enhance the medicinal properties. However, the process of this method is complicated and difficult to perform.

Song Jin doesn't know how.

In the entire Song family, only the head of the family, Song Kuan, understood it.

After consideration, Song Jin decided to use the wine in the pharmacopoeia.

That is the wine roasting method.

Just remove the head and feet of the centipede dried in the shade, moisten it with rice wine, and dry it over low heat to make it crispy, easy to crush, and reduce toxicity.

Song Jin remembered that Dian Shi's father in Yi County had recently suffered a stroke and was seeking medical advice.

The grade of Dianshi is not good, but he has great power. In the past, they were only subordinate officials of the county captain, but in this dynasty, they replaced the county captain and were in charge of local justice, prisons, and public security.

If Jifang Pharmacy follows Dianshi's line, it won't have to worry about extortion from Shopkeeper Chai and his ilk.

Yinlong asked again: "The centipede is alive, how much should it be dried?"

Song Jin ordered: "Have someone take it to dry in the shade until it is eighty or ninety percent dry. Remember to avoid exposure to the sun."

All she needs is this command.

The boy who was handling the medicinal materials outside knew what to do.

The medicine boy first rinses the centipede under running water to remove impurities and secretions, then uses small bamboo pieces with sharp ends to fix the head and tail of the fresh centipede, and then puts it on a large sieve for drying.

Fixing it with bamboo pieces will prevent the centipede from curling up and causing uneven drying.

The so-called shade drying means placing the medicinal materials in a cool and ventilated place and letting them dry naturally to avoid the loss of active ingredients in the medicinal materials due to sunlight exposure.

It has to be said that Song's medicinal materials were at the forefront of the Great Xia Dynasty in terms of processing technology.

Song's medicinal materials are famous not without reason.

Most of the centipedes used as medicine outside are left to dry in the sun, and their medicinal efficacy is always inferior to Song's medicinal materials.

Song Jin helped process the medicinal materials.

If you see something wrong, give me some advice.

With her control, everyone has fewer chances to make mistakes, and those who listen attentively can learn a lot.

Song Jin was not afraid that these people would spread the word.

Because apart from the Jin Ling and Yinlong families, the remaining handymen and medicine boys who worked were all bought by Jin Ling from the dental shop and signed death certificates.

Work until noon.

One day passed.

Song Jin wants to go back again.

After exiting the drug store through the back door, as soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw a carriage waiting.

Qin Chi was standing next to the car.

Song Jin's eyelashes drooped slightly.

Seeing Qin Chi reminded her of what happened in the morning.

Under what circumstances would a scholar give up the scientific examination?

One is lack of money, and the other is qualifications for scientific examinations.

Qin Chi made it clear that he was not short of money.

So will it be the qualification for registration?

In this dynasty, monks, servants, prostitutes and untouchables who were in mourning or had violated criminal responsibilities were not eligible for the imperial examination. Qin Chi was not like these.

For a moment, Song Jin really couldn't figure out the reason.

Song Jin quickened his pace and passed by.

"Is your husband here to pick me up?"

"I forgot to ask Uncle Li to pick you up this morning. I happened to be home from the academy, so I stopped by." Qin Chi explained. Song Jin said politely: "Mr. Lao is worried about me."

After saying that, Qin Chi got on the carriage first without waiting for Qin Chi to help her with his hands.

Qin Chi's eyes flashed slightly.

It was as if he sensed Song Jin's alienation.

Today Song Jin did realize some problems, that is, she had to keep an appropriate distance from Qin Chi.

Song Jinsheng was afraid that if he invested too much emotion, he would not be able to accept it when Qin Chi died. This distance is fine right now.

No need to talk to each other, just be friendly.

Two people were sitting on a carriage, and they were the only ones in the small carriage.

Just reach out and touch each other.

"Is your work going well, ma'am?"

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

Qin Chi heard that people from Huairen Medicine Hall were looking for trouble.

Song Jin smiled and said: "As usual, it's good."

"That's good."

Are you unwilling to tell him?

Qin Chi sat leisurely, one hand lightly resting on his leg, his index finger tapping every now and then, "If I sign up for the county examination, will my wife support it?"

"No matter what my husband decides, Jin will definitely support it." Song Jin replied with a smile.

Qin Chi had already expected this, "Then I don't want my family to know."

"I won't talk about it."

Although Song Jin didn't know why he wanted to hide the Qin family, he still respected his intention and supported his decision, "Well, are you short of money? If so, tell me."

Seeing her wealthy appearance, Qin Chi found it particularly interesting and simply asked: "You gave me two thousand taels last time, how much do you plan to give this time?"

"It depends on how much you need for the imperial examination."

Song Jin answered with a smile, especially emphasizing the word "imperial examination".

This statement made it clear that she supported his imperial examination only financially to support his examination fees.

Qin Chi smiled and said, "How afraid are you of being taken advantage of?"

"Isn't this an explanation in advance? I'm afraid you might misunderstand." Song Jin knew that Qin Chi was not short of money.

Sure enough, Qin Chi refused, "I have money on me."

Song Jin didn't necessarily give him money.

Just show your attitude.

Anyway, it won't have much impact on her.

Mrs. Huang was involved in daily chores at home, and Song Jin couldn't get involved in the affairs of Qin Chi Academy. When he first arrived in the county, Song Jin also thought about taking care of Qin Chi's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But, the first day here.

Qin Chi made the arrangements himself.

Isn't it clear that you don't want her to interfere?

Song Jin knew that Qin Chi had a secret.

The more secrets a person has, the less he wants outsiders to interfere in his life. Song Jin is very self-aware, so apart from showing off in front of Li and other outsiders, he rarely cares about Qin Chi's daily life.

Qin Chi didn't know at this time that he had arranged his daily life first, but she had misunderstood him instead.

For a long time, Qin Chi felt resentful when he saw that his classmate had clothes and food made by his wife, but he had nothing.

I stayed in the county town for a few more days.

Everyone is busy during this time.

Song Jin works both at the drug store and at home.

The preparation of the wine centipede has been completed. Song Jin picked out a part of the same size and excellent quality, allowing Xing Lun to make a fortune.

Since the fall of the Song family.

In the custom of giving gifts in Huizhou, it is a very honorable thing to have Song's medicinal materials.

In this life, Song Jin decided to let Xing Lun be the person in charge. Naturally, Xing Lun would take the lead in establishing connections.
