Chapter 192： saponin rice

Yanru and her children gathered a large amount of soap locust, peeled out all the seeds, washed the sand from the soap locust bark, dried it and ground it in a stone mortar.

Take the pig pancreas that you bought in advance, wash away the blood and remove the fascia, cut it into small pieces, put it in a small stone mortar and pound it into a paste.

Put the pig pancreas paste into the soap locust paste, add some osmanthus and grind again until the three are fully integrated.

Yan Ru took two carved molds, pressed the dough **** into the molds and smoothed them out, allowing them to solidify naturally, then poured them out to dry, and it became a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus soap.

She made a total of twenty pieces of fragrant rice, distributed some to her sister-in-law and her three younger siblings, and kept a few pieces for herself.

The remaining sapodilla bark was given to Dani Erni and Ying Bao, so that they could also learn how to make fragrant pancakes.

As for those saponin beans, soak them in water and remove the shells, then remove the outer layer of skin to get out the saponin rice which is as white as jade.

After drying these saponins, they can be stored for a long time.

When you want to eat it, soak a handful in water and cook it with rice, lotus seeds and wolfberry. It tastes great.

“You can’t eat too much saponin rice, and you can’t eat it until the end of the day.”

Yanru told Yingbao and others, "My aunt said that women can eat some after giving birth, which is good for the body."

As for the benefits, Yan Ru doesn’t know.

Yingbao knows that saponin rice can moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation, dispel wind and reduce swelling. It has a good therapeutic effect on constipation, dysentery, tenesmus, hernia, sores and swelling.

It can also treat women's dysmenorrhea and metrorrhagia, and allow women to breastfeed.

However, saponin rice is slightly toxic and there are many taboos when eating it. For example, pregnant women and young children cannot eat it.

After peeling all the soap beans and a few days of vacation, Ying Bao returned to the medicine hall.

I don’t know if it was because of the cooler weather, but suddenly there were more patients in the medicine hall, and Mr. Li and his grandson were busy without touching the floor.

Yingbao and Li Xihua helped prepare medicine for critically ill patients who were visiting the hospital outside the hospital.

The patients live in the patient rooms behind the medicine hall.

The place where medicine is cooked is a bamboo shed made of moso bamboo. There are several small medicine stoves inside, and some firewood and charcoal are also piled up.

“Oh, that man was urinating blood and his face was pitch black. Grandpa said that a patient with this condition would not survive more than a month.”

Li Xihua sighed: "It's really pitiful. He's only fourteen or fifteen years old."

Ying Bao paused holding a fan.

It is a pity that he died like this in his prime years of fourteen or fifteen.

How about you do a test on this person to see if your Wudingzhi can also treat kidney disease?

After the medicine was cooked, Yingbao took advantage of the pouring time to pour in a little of Wudingzhi juice, and then carried the medicine bowl to the medicine hall.

Chen Tiantian stood at the back door, smiling and extending her hand: "Let me take it."

Ying Bao looked at her strangely, "Are you very free?" She had already brought the medicine bowl to the door, and it wasn't like she couldn't get in. Why should she take over for a few steps?

Chen Tiantian retracted her hand and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will get burned."

"It's not hot." Ying Bao walked around her and walked in, keeping an eye on her from the corner of her eyes to prevent her from stumbling over anything.

Walking into the ward, the woman who was kneeling and crying next to the boy with kidney disease got up and wanted to take the medicine bowl, but Yingbao refused. "You lift her up and I'll feed her."

"Oh." The woman picked up the boy and let him lean on her, looking at the little medicine boy in front of her.

He is about five or six years old. He is extremely good-looking and has a pair of clear eyes that can penetrate people's hearts.

It is really strange that there are such smart children in this countryside.

Yingbao stirred the concoction with a spoon. When it cooled down, she fed it to the young man one spoonful at a time. The young man had a strong desire to survive. He drank every drop without leaving anything, then lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Thank you very much." The woman gave Ying Bao a slight blessing, then took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

Ying Bao looked at the sick boy and saw that his complexion was dull and gray, his eyelids were swollen, and even his lips were dark blue. If Langzhong Li hadn't diagnosed him, he would have been poisoned.

The woman next to him was wearing a blue muslin skirt, which was completely different from the brocade on the young man's body, as if she was not a mother and son.

At this time, Chen Tiantian came over, saluted the woman, and said softly: "The young master has gone to bed. You can go and have a rest. I will take care of him."

The woman shook her head and said, "Thank you very much, madam, for your kindness. I'm not tired, so I don't need to rest."

Ying Bao walked out of the patient room carrying the empty bowl, covered the medicine jar with the empty bowl, put the number plate on it, and then boiled another packet of medicine.

This packet of anti-fetal medicine belongs to a pregnant woman. Like the boy with kidney disease, he is a traveler passing through.

I was busy until sunset, and the patients who were queuing up were not able to finish reading.

The local patients took the medicine and went home, leaving only two patients from other places who did not leave.

The boy with kidney disease had woken up once and was helped by a servant to go to the toilet. He did not urinate blood again.

In the evening, Langzhong Li's daughter-in-law brought a can of white porridge, and the young man actually ate a bowl of it.

This made the woman very happy and insisted on staying here for a longer period of time.

Several servants were a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything and went to the inn in the town to find a room to rest, while the woman stayed with the young man in the hospital room.

The next day, Yingbao got up early to wash up, and then practiced a set of boxing skills in the yard.

When the medicine hall opened, she went in to get the boy with kidney disease's medicine bag and boiled it for him.

While slowly fanning the flames, Chen Tiantian walked quietly behind Ying Bao, watching her every move with burning eyes.

In fact, Yingbao had already felt it, but she pretended not to notice it, wondering in her mind what serious illness Chen Tiantian had committed, staring at her like a ghost every day.

Chen Tiantian took a step forward, smiled and said, "Let me do it."

Yingbao squinted at her: "You want to boil medicine so much? Then go to the medicine hall and get another pack. There is another patient in the hospital who wants to boil medicine."

 Chen Tiantian's face darkened, but she quickly returned to normal: "Okay." Then she turned around and went to the medicine hall to get medicine.

Ying Bao couldn't understand why Chen Tiantian had to fight with her. Yesterday she was serving medicine, and today she was boiling medicine again. Did that young man have any special identity?

Thinking of the plot in her mind, she decided to ask the young man his name.

When pouring the medicine, Yingbao still put some Wuding Zhi in it, not much, just a drop the size of a small fingernail.

When he walked into the hospital room carrying the medicine, he saw that the young man had sat up and the woman was talking to him.

Seeing Ying Bao come in, he quickly shut up and said nothing.

"It's time to drink medicine." Yingbao handed the medicine bowl to the woman and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "May I ask your surname, sir? My master wants to give him another prescription."

The patient's condition has improved, and the medicine must be changed after taking the previous medicine for a few days.

The woman didn’t realize for a moment why she had to ask for her last name when prescribing medicine, so she replied: “My husband’s surname is Zhao.”



Ying Bao immediately searched for the plot in his mind, and there seemed to be quite a few people named Zhao.

The most important among them are Zhao Yi and Zhao Yang. They are uncles and brothers, and they are also border generals with heavy troops.

But it is impossible for this frail young man to become such a strong general even in ten years.

However, maybe it is unknown whether he is a descendant of the fierce general family, so the heroine tried her best to get close to him.
