Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 508: ：Secret Recipe
Zhou Linghuai suddenly pursed his lips.
I just took off my cloak and ran outside carelessly. Even though I was wearing a thick coat, it couldn't block the wind and snow outside. If I wasn't careful, I would get cold.
For such a big person, it still doesn’t make people worry.
Yu Youyao left quickly and returned quickly: "Cousin, look, this is the ointment I made after improving the fragrant recipe."
As if offering a treasure, she handed the blue and white porcelain box in her hand to her cousin.
Zhou Linghuai did not answer the question. He pulled her to sit in front of the carbon cage and handed her a cup of red date and **** tea: "Why did you run outside without even wearing a cloak?"
The red date and **** tea has been boiled and kept simmering over the charcoal fire. It will always be hot no matter when you drink it.
Yu Youyao doesn’t like the taste of **** very much. Even if there are more red dates and brown sugar in the **** tea, she is not willing to drink it. She just drank a cup because she had been outside for a long time and was worried about catching the cold. My cousin is worried.
Yu Youyao looked at her cousin bitterly, barely showing her disdain on her face: "Cousin, I was wearing a thick coat and a jacket outside. I just went to the incense room and not to the yard. Come inside, so you don’t need to drink!" She stretched out her hand to hold her cousin: "Look, my hands are not cold at all."
The corridors are all covered with bamboo curtains to block the wind, and you can reach the incense room just a few steps away.
My hands were not cold, but they were not warm either. Zhou Linghuai patiently coaxed her: "You have to drink a few sips. It's so cold in this weather that you will catch a cold all at once."
Yu Youyao smacked her lips, twisted her little nose, reluctantly took the cup, and took two sips, unwilling to drink more: "It's just two sips as promised."
Zhou Linghuai was also helpless. He took the cup and put it aside, then took the porcelain box that she had been holding in her hand: "Have you been messing with this all this time?"
As you can tell from the name, the effect of this ointment should be similar to that of medicated oil.
It was made for him to use.
Although Yu Youyao has a high talent in Xiangyao, he can only learn Xiangyao for less than a year. No matter how much knowledge he has, it will take time to slowly accumulate.
Just like a jar of fine Nv'erhong, no matter how good the brewing process is, it still needs to be buried in the soil and allowed to settle over time. Only when it is opened can the wine be fragrant and intoxicating.
Yu Youyao is talented and hard-working, and has learned a lot about incense spectrum knowledge, but the only thing missing is this accumulation.
It is not easy to improve the fragrance recipe.
Yu Youyao nodded: "Yes, such a long winter will last until February or March next year. I can't let my cousin endure the leg pain all the time, so I want to give it a try and see if I can improve the fragrance. Make a recipe that is more effective than the medicated oil and cold-repelling incense my cousin is currently using."
Zhou Linghuai clenched the porcelain box in his hand and forgot to open it for a moment.
When it comes to the fields that she likes and is good at, Yu Youyao has endless things to say: "It is indeed too difficult to improve fragrant recipes. For a long time, it was like a blind man scratching his head without a clue. Aunt Xu said that I The background is not bad, but it lacks precipitation. It allows me to reorganize the fragrance recipes I have learned and deepen my learning."
Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips again.
A few days after returning to Yu Mansion, he took the exam for Yu Youyao's coursework.
In addition to the "Four Books and Five Classics", there are also calligraphy, piano art, "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Zizhi Tongjian", and some historical materials.
Zhou Linghuai wanted to see if Yu Youyao had fallen behind in her studies after being away for several months.
Because he prepared annotated books, it was easier for Yu Youyao to learn. If he had questions that he didn’t understand, he could ask Mr. Ye Nu for advice. Yu Youyao’s studies have improved a bit.
But to prevent her from becoming complacent, she must give her a handful and a few sweet dates.
I said some words of praise and encouragement, and inevitably also said a few words about my shortcomings. I didn't criticize, but I was a bit harsh.
Within a few days, he heard that Yu Youyao was studying very hard during this period. He spent most of the time in the study and didn't even care about the affairs of the house.
He thought Yu Youyao had been hit, and then he made progress.
How can a little girl spend all day focusing on trivial matters in the house? She has to study more, and he is happy to see this.
How did he know that what he thought was learning was not what he thought it was.
Yu Youyao didn’t know that her cousin’s heart was turning over and over again: “I found an ointment formula from the residual recipes that my cousin collected for me. Cousin, you don’t know that this residual recipe comes from It was introduced from foreign countries, and what is recorded above is a secret recipe of anointing oil that activates blood, transforms blood, and relieves pain."
Zhou Linghuai rubbed the blue and white porcelain box in his hand.
I heard the little girl chattering: "Although I don't know how effective this ointment is, since this recipe has been spread to the Central Plains, I think it has some merits, so I want to study it. It's just the fragrance used on it. Materials are all foreign things, and the Zhou Dynasty did not produce them."
When she mentioned this, Yu Youyao frowned without realizing it, looking distressed. She could imagine how troubled and embarrassed she had been when faced with such a dilemma before.
Zhou Linghuai said: "It is difficult for a woman to make a meal without rice. How did you solve it later?"
Yu Youyao laughed: "I just thought, since the maritime trade prospered, the Great Zhou Dynasty has exchanged supplies with foreign countries. Foreign spices have always been very popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they may refer to medical books. There will be records in it, and I checked a lot of medical books, and found detailed records in "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treatise on the Nature of Medicine"."
Seeing her smile, Zhou Linghuai also smiled: "There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers."
Yu Youyao nodded repeatedly: "There is a kind of fragrant herb called myrrh. This herb enters the spleen, kidney, heart, and liver, the four internal organs of the human body. It is responsible for biochemistry and storage of essence, qi, blood, and spirit. "Treatise on the Properties of Medicine" records that myrrh is mainly used for bruises, blood stasis, muscle and bone stasis and pain, joint pain, damage to the golden blade, unbearable pain, dispersing blood and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and pain, relaxing fascia, and unblocking blood vessels. The effect is correct for my cousin’s symptoms.”
At this point, her tone was already very excited, and her little white jade face turned red with excitement.
Zhou Linghuai just listened and did not interrupt her.
"In addition to myrrh~IndoMTL.com~ there is also a frankincense medicine called frankincense, which has similar effects to myrrh. The amazing thing is that if the two are paired together, the effectiveness of the medicine will be improved based on the original. "Compendium" records that frankincense activates blood circulation and myrrh disperses blood, and both can relieve pain and reduce swelling, so the two medicines are often used together."
Myrrh and frankincense are foreign spices. They were rare in the Zhou Dynasty and were not widely used.
Although Zhou Linghuai is well-informed, he is not proficient in medical skills, so naturally he does not know.
Zhou Linghuai listened carefully. The little girl spoke in an understatement, but he could still tell what difficulties she encountered and how much effort she put in during the process of improving the fragrant recipe.
She overcame all the difficulties one by one.
————————Digression——————
Myrrh and frankincense are recorded in the Bible and were produced in ancient Iran, Arabia and other regions. The Jews used myrrh and frankincense to make aromatics and analgesics, which can basically treat dozens of common diseases in life. Sickness is two of the three gifts that believers offer to the Savior, and they are particularly deified, but myrrh and frankincense do have a very wide range of effects.
The Bible mentions a kind of holy anointing oil, which is made of myrrh, frankincense, cinnamon, etc. It is called a sacred symbol. In addition to its sacred symbolic meaning, the anointing oil also has great practical value. .
Myrrh and frankincense were already used as fragrant medicines in the Tang Dynasty!
It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica"!
So, the anointing oil and the wine of myrrh are real~
