Jiang Yunqing glanced at the pot placed on the simple stove. Milky white medicinal soup was boiling in it. The steam of the birds was steaming. There was also this kind of fragrance that filled the small courtyard, giving people a refreshing feeling.
The big yellow dog barking at Jiang Yunqing and his group heard his owner's voice, and his irritable mood was instantly calmed down. He got ahead of Jiang Yunqing and his group, wagging his tail triumphantly and slipped in through the opened courtyard door, and then walked all the way He came to the stove and smelled the scent of the lost dog, and lay down with an intoxicated look on his face.
Following the route of the big yellow dog and looking around the stove, Jiang Yunqing saw a piece of yellow-orange honey placed on a small wooden stand next to the stove. The crystal-clear honey was in gel form and flowing at an extremely slow speed. A small bee clung to the honey, as if it was stuck to it, and seemed to be greedily sucking the honey.
Jiang Yunqing came to the stove, flicked her fingers slightly, and several wind blades flew out, peeling off a few bees on the honey, and then threw the whole piece of honey into the pot.
The honey fell into the milky white medicinal soup and slowly sank to the bottom of the pot. The temperature in the pot was constant at one hundred degrees Celsius, but it was difficult to melt this excellent quality honey for a while.
Of course, it can be dissolved over time, but by that time, I am afraid that most of the essence of this pot of medicinal soup has been evaporated.
Jiang Yunqing looked around the stove, but found no spatula or other tools that could be used for stirring. There was only a long stick standing next to the chicken coop, leaning against the fence. (In the original work, the second uncle used the Longquan Sword to stir it up)
However, the end of the long stick that hit the ground was covered with a thick layer of mud. It was unclear whether it was mud or something else.
On the other end, there was a thick layer of spider webs, rippling gently in the gentle breeze.
This...should not be used as a spatula to stir in the pot!
Jiang Yunqing's eyes were glazed over the long stick for two seconds, and she mentally convinced herself to look away.
Immediately, he raised his hand and hung it above the iron pot, stretched out his ten fingers individually and drew a circle.
As Jiang Yunqing rotated his fingers, the milky white medicinal soup in the iron pot, which had paused briefly due to the addition of honey and did not continue to stir, began to rotate, as if someone was holding a stick in the middle of the pot of medicinal soup. agitation.
As the medicinal soup is stirred, the honey melts faster.
About half an hour later, the piece of yellow-orange honey had completely blended into the milky white medicinal soup. The fragrance it exuded was even more intoxicating. Just smelling it made me feel comfortable all over. There is a feeling of calming the Qi and unblocking the meridians.
This is a medicine that smoothes the Qi and unblocks the meridians. This is very obvious to Jiang Yunqing, who has extremely rich pharmacological knowledge. Even during the stirring process, Jiang Yunqing has already analyzed the medicinal materials involved in this medicine. The amount of each medicinal ingredient and the cooking temperature remain to be discussed.
"Kacha~"
The door of the only thatched house in the small courtyard opened, and an old man with white hair and beard walked out, walking lightly and slightly hunched over.
When he came under the sun, the old man first took a long hache as if he had just woken up, and then began to stretch his waist. His back was slightly hunched and he straightened up. All the bones in his body were pulled, and there was a "crackling" sound. It stopped after a while.

After doing all this, he seemed to feel at ease. Then the old man shouted towards the thatched house: "Xiao Yini, come and give the medicine to your lover!"
"Okay, Lord Erdong!"
A soft and weak female voice came from the thatched house, and then a graceful woman in a traditional purple dress with bunted hair came out carrying a large white porcelain bowl.
Her figure is graceful and graceful, and her appearance is beautiful, but there seems to be an unconcealable fatigue between her eyebrows.
"Master Erdong, what are these?"
The woman who was called Xiao Yini by the second cave master saw a large group of people in the small courtyard and immediately became wary. When she saw that half of these people were wearing Central Plains clothes, she felt relieved and headed towards the stove. Coming here slowly.
"They were brought by Xiao Shiyi. There are also people from Raojiang and people from the Central Plains. Old man, I can't figure out their composition."
The master of Erdong shook his head. Xiao Shiyi led the people over, waved his hand and left without saying hello. He really couldn't figure out who these people were.
However, it seems okay, at least he is not here to cause trouble.
Wait, the troublemaker?
The second cave master's eyes swept across Jiang Yunqing's group again. When he passed by Xianshen, he couldn't help but froze for a moment. He opened his eyes and looked again to confirm that he had not seen it wrong. Then he asked: "Xianshen, you When did you return to Twelve Cave?"
"Yesterday!" Xian Ginseng replied softly.
"Huh? Sister Xian Ginseng?"
Yi Ni raised her head in astonishment and followed the gaze of the Second Cave Master. She saw a ragged woman with disheveled hair and a walking stick standing at the entrance of the courtyard with a group of people. She couldn't help but feel slightly lost.
The woman's appearance matched that of her sister Xian Ginseng in her memory. However, the slight nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth made her feel a little strange. The sense of separation caused by the passage of time still existed after all.
"Long time no see, Yi Ni!"
Xianshen looked at Yi Ni and showed a nostalgic smile.
Tears flowed from the corners of Yi Ni's eyes, she covered her mouth and choked out: "Long time no see, sister Xian Ginseng!"
"Okay, little Yi Ni, you'd better reminisce about old times later. Hurry up and get the medicine and give it to your lover to drink. If you miss the opportunity, the effectiveness of the medicine will be greatly reduced!"
Apart from the surprise of seeing the fresh ginseng for the first time, the owner of the second cave now looked back to his previous laziness, and he licked his ears and urged.
"Well! Sister Xianshen, wait for me for a while!"
Yi Ni came back to her senses from her past thoughts, wiped away her tears, and looked at her expectantly like a fresh ginseng.
"It's okay, don't worry!"
Xian Ginseng smiled and nodded, and then Yi Ni walked towards the stove with the bowl in hand.
Jiang Yunqing, who was beside the stove, stretched out her hand towards Yi Ni and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let me do it!"
"Sister-in-law?"
Hearing a strange name, Yi Ni's slightly red eyes looked up and down at the man in Tsing Yi who was as tall as her husband. Her mind was in confusion and she really couldn't figure out why the man in Tsing Yi called her that.
Jiang Yunqing first pointed at himself, then pointed at the thatched house, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law."
Combining Jiang Yunqing's gestures with his words, Yi Ni thought carefully for a while and suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
She remembered that her husband had a younger sister whom he often talked about, but she didn't expect that her younger sister was already married!
Thinking of this, Yi Ni happily handed the large white porcelain bowl to Jiang Yunqing.
Jiang Yunqing took the large bowl, scooped up a large bowl of medicinal soup, and shouted towards the thatched house: "Brother, brother-in-law is here to deliver medicine to you..."
