Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The strengthening of eyesight has made it easier for Ye Yan to find herbs, and the overall efficiency can be said to be significantly improved.

In addition, the herbs that Ye Yan wants are really quite a lot around here, and it can even be said that they grow everywhere. In this era, no one picks them at all.

This made Ye Yan go round and round, and quickly picked a sufficient amount.

The group returned with a full load. Zhou Xu, who was understanding the situation with Ye Jinghong at the time, met him, walked over immediately, and took a look at the almost full pannier.

"It seems that the harvest is not small."

"Yes, leader, there are many herbs growing near the camp, which should be enough for us to use."

It was a good thing for Zhou Xu to discover that there were herbal resources around the camp by accident, and it could be regarded as a pleasant surprise.

But at this moment, Zhou Xu's attention was undoubtedly focused on the herbs in front of him.

"What are you going to do with these herbs?"

"How to deal with..."

This question made Ye Yan feel strange.

"Just eat it."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhou Xu was silent for two seconds, and then tried to say something...

"Ye Yan, have you ever thought about decoction with water?"

"Decoction with water?"

Hearing this, Ye Yan was at a loss.

Obviously, on this matter, Ye Yan has not studied too deeply, and at the same time, his thinking has not been fully opened.

But Zhou Xu is different. Herbal medicine is a traditional culture of their Great Heavenly Dynasty. He had rhinitis when he was a child, and he had taken traditional Chinese medicine for a period of time. He still knows the common sense that Chinese medicine needs to be decocted.

At the same time, due to the need to charge for cooking on behalf of others, it was cheaper for them to buy it back and cook it by themselves.

But also benefited from this, let him master some relevant experience and knowledge.

"uh-huh!"

With a dry cough, Zhou Xu cleared his throat.

"Boil the water three times, and all poisons will disappear! Have you heard this saying?"

There is no need for Ye Yan to answer, he must have never heard of it.

This is what the old Chinese doctor who treated him told him.

According to the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, decoction of traditional Chinese medicine can effectively remove or reduce the side effects of the medicine.

At the same time, the decoction method is conducive to the overflow of the ingredients in the medicine, and the decoction is also convenient for the body to absorb.

Of course, even if these things are ignored, Zhou Xu still has a very simple and rude idea in his mind.

That is something that has been passed down from their Great Heavenly Dynasty for five thousand years, and there is always a reason for it.

Although Ye Yan has a five-star upper limit of intelligence, but now it is only two-star level after all, and primitive people don't have much knowledge and culture.

Based on what the old Chinese doctor had said to him back then, wouldn't it be a joke to suppress Ye Yan?

Today's Zhou Xu is also copying what the old Chinese doctor said to him back then, and it has improved Ye Yan's knowledge well.

"I see."

After listening to it, Ye Yan was completely inspired. He looked at Zhou Xu with reverence, and at the same time, he felt a little bit ashamed.

Originally, Ye Yan was very confident in his ability, but now it seems that compared with their new leader in front of him, he is far behind.

"Leader, please teach me!"

Zhou Xu was not polite about this, since he did know more than Ye Yan, he naturally didn't mind teaching him everything he knew.

"Come with me."

After speaking, he brought Ye Yan and the two apprentices to the lake.

"First, let's clean these herbs first."

The traditional Chinese medicines they use are basically dried, and while they are convenient for storage, they have already been processed.

But this fresh herbal medicine is obviously different, Zhou Xu thinks it still needs to be washed.

He is also quite skilled in the process of cooking Chinese medicine afterwards.

The process of cooking Chinese medicine can be generally summarized as the process of continuously collecting juice.

In the past when prescribing medicine, the doctor always said that three bowls of water boiled into one bowl, which is basically what it means.

During this continuous boiling process, the soup water gradually changes, and at the same time, the smell of medicine begins to overflow with steam,

This change made Ye Yan's eyes light up.

"Boss, is this good?"

"It's still early, the properties of the medicine have just been cooked, and it will take longer to fully cook the properties of the medicine."

Regarding his own experience, Zhou Xu taught him everything.

It takes time to cook medicine, and naturally they will not sit idle during this process.

"Ye Yan, have you ever thought about growing these herbs ourselves?"

"Grow herbs?"

In this era, the concept of farming does not yet exist. Even a person like Ye Yan with five-star intellectual potential cannot understand this meaning without a concept.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu quickly opened his mouth after thinking about it for a while...

"Even if the weeds grow outside, they will grow back after a while, you know that?"

"Know."

Ye Yan nodded, and then seemed to have a little reaction, and vaguely understood what their new leader wanted to express.

But he didn't interrupt easily, but continued to listen.

"Just like these weeds, medicinal herbs can actually grow again, but when they grow outside, there are too many influencing factors, and it may not be picked one day. Conversely, if the medicinal herbs are moved to our eyes... ..."

Having said that, Zhou Xu doesn't need to go any further, because Ye Yan already fully understands what he wants to express.

"Why didn't I think of it? At the same time, when there is a need, I don't have to go outside so hard to find it!"

While muttering to himself, Ye Yanyi became excited.

Seeing his posture, he wished he could take action immediately. Seeing this, Zhou Xu quickly signaled Ye Yan to calm down.

"Calm down, this is not something that can be done in a short while, and we will arrange it slowly tomorrow. The most important thing right now is this pot of medicine."

"Oh yes yes! The pot of medicine in front of me is more important!"

Under Zhou Xu's reminder, Ye Yan's attention quickly returned to the pot of medicine in front of him.

During the period, Zhou Xu certainly didn't mind distracting Ye Kefa's mind.

For example, dried medicinal herbs.

For another example, you can try to decoct medicinal materials with compatible medicinal properties together, and achieve a better effect through the cooperation of various medicinal materials.

Zhou Xu's constant thoughts and ideas can be said to have quickly matured Ye Yan's idea of ​​medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Invisibly, the traditional Chinese medicine system has formed a relatively complete outline in Ye Yan's mind.

Next, it depends on how far Ye Yan can practice.

In this area, Zhou Xu thought that there was nothing he could do to help, and he could only rely on Ye Yan to use his clever mind to figure it out.

During this process, the first pot of medicine was officially cooked.

"It's almost done after cooking like this. The medicinal residue needs to be fished out. The medicinal soup is divided into three bowls and sent to the patients."
