Chapter 226 You know medicine?
When Commander Qin returned, he gave Zhang Danqiu the same answer: No news is good news.
After thanking her, Qiao Manman went home, sat on a bench for a while, took out a box of potato and beef brisket rice from her spatial storage to fill her stomach, and then laid out a row of fresh medicinal herbs, preparing them according to the methods recorded in the book.
Some require stir-frying, roasting, calcining, steaming, or boiling, while others require the addition of liquid ingredients such as wine, vinegar, honey, salt water, or ginger juice.
Qiao Manman rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. She thought to herself that if it weren't for this space, she wouldn't even have the opportunity to study on her own.
Qiao Manman had taken "smart pills" and "photographic memory pills," but her brain could learn the concepts while her hands couldn't keep up.
I decided to buy a video tutorial on making frostbite cream from the system store and followed the steps to process the medicinal materials one by one.
This was much easier; she didn't need to think much at all. Qiao Manman worked for three days and three nights, and finally, she produced a jar of white paste.
"Tongtong, quickly help me test if this thing is poisonous!"
The system placed the ointment on the testing table: "Host, 100 points will be deducted for each test. Do you want to complete the transaction?"
"Yes!" Qiao Manman clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Okay, host. Points -100. Detecting, estimated time 15 minutes!"
Qiao Manman went to the bathroom to wash her hands and then cut herself a fruit platter. She sat cross-legged on the bed, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked down at the shimmering snow and playing children, letting her thoughts wander.
Fifteen minutes later, the system delivered good news: "Congratulations, host, the frostbite ointment is qualified and has no toxic side effects; it is a medium-to-low grade product."
Qiao Manman looked up: "Hmm? What's the problem?"
"The host is using ordinary medicinal materials. No matter how good the prescription is or how exquisite the technique is, the effect of the frostbite ointment will be average."
The system's shop uses various spiritual herbs, medicines, and mutated plants. The same prescription can produce immediate results.
The host can try purchasing medicinal herbs from the system shop or crafting them using herbs from the space's medicinal field. With energy enhancement, the medicinal effects will be multiplied.
Having a fertility pill was already quite conspicuous; Qiao Manman dared not create any more miracle drugs or elixirs.
Knowing her technique was correct, she took out a bunch of common medicinal herbs and got to work. With her previous success, she was even more efficient this time. In no time at all, she had made a basin of frostbite ointment.
Qiao Manman filled one bottle with a delicate little porcelain bottle, and put the rest into her storage space.
Seeing that the snow had stopped, she put on her military overcoat and trudged through the snow.
Normally, no one goes out in this kind of weather unless it's an emergency. Seeing her about to leave, the young guard asked, "Sister Lu, it's cold and the roads are slippery outside. Where are you going?"
Qiao Manman didn't hide anything: "I want to go to the hospital to buy a tube of frostbite cream!"
"Sister-in-law, don't bother. Chilblain cream is a rare commodity around here. There's only a limited supply each year, and people line up to buy it but still can't get any."
"Is your ear itchy, sister-in-law? I heard that Xiao Wang from the cookhouse has some folk remedies. I'll go ask him for some when I get off work!"
"No, no, no, that's alright. I just noticed the kids in our compound have chilblains and I wanted to buy some ointment for them. If you don't have any, that's fine..."
Qiao Manman looked regretful, then asked as if she had thought of something, "Does the military hospital have Chinese medicinal herbs? Can they be purchased privately?"
I know how to make frostbite cream. If you have a car going there, could you help me buy some medicinal herbs?
"Well... Sister-in-law, you should go home first. We'll ask our boss for you later!"
"Okay, thank you so much!" Qiao Manman took out two frozen pears from her pocket: "Let's warm them up a bit before we eat them!"
"No need, sister-in-law... Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Qiao Manman jogged away, thinking that if Meng Peiyu hadn't been watching her, she would have taken out the ointment and given it to everyone.
Look, the young soldier talking to him has red and swollen hands, and thick scabs on his ears.
This is clearly a common problem. If she lends a helping hand, she should be able to earn a few points.
As Qiao Manman walked past the small house, she heard Meng Peiyu call out to her: "What a coincidence, Comrade Qiao! I just came out and saw you passing by."
Are you busy? If not, come in and sit for a bit. Lots of the ladies are chatting here!
Qiao Manman thought to herself, she hasn't even seen what the young director looks like yet, so she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!"
As he stepped across the threshold, he saw a dozen women sitting in the main room, laughing and cursing about something.
When Qiao Manman went inside, she found many "familiar faces," such as Sister Zhang and Sister Jiang.
She greeted those she knew and introduced herself to those she didn't. Just as Qiao Manman found a corner to sit down, someone handed her a handful of sunflower seeds.
Looking at the light black color, Qiao Manman put it in her pocket, just as they asked, "It's been snowing for a week straight, is Sister Chen still able to go out and help us with our shopping?"
"Of course she can! Sister Chen is incredibly capable. I've known her for so long and I've never seen her make a mistake. She really has everything she could want." She gave a thumbs up as she spoke.
Meng Peiyu smiled modestly: "Sisters, please don't say that. I was just thinking that everyone has a hard time, so I brought together the network of relationships in the surrounding counties and townships to achieve resource exchange."
We have money but lack supplies, while they have supplies but lack money. If we communicate and exchange information, isn't that mutually beneficial and helpful? It's a good thing, but we mustn't let it get distorted in the public eye.
"We know what's important!"
"Alright, sisters-in-law, just let me know what you need. I'll try my best to meet your needs!"
"I want five catties of pork fat, two catties of peanuts, and ten catties of wheat flour."
"I want two pounds of brown sugar, a whole hen, two packets of milk powder, and..."
"Little Qiao, what do you want?"
"Sister Chen, I need ten catties of cotton, twenty feet of cotton cloth, and one catty of White Rabbit milk candy. By the way, can you get any Chinese medicinal herbs?"
"Ah, we don't have that! What does Comrade Xiao Qiao need Chinese medicinal herbs for?"
Qiao Manman didn't hide anything: "I know a recipe for frostbite cream. If we have the medicine, we can make it and apply it to the children and the soldiers."
It's the dead of winter, they have it tough, training even on snowy days. I heard many of them have so many itchy hands and feet at night they can't sleep!
Many of the women's wives agreed with this statement.
Don't let their husbands' military officers fool you; they suffered just as much as they could. They were out there every day, practically frozen solid.
Not to mention the young soldiers who had just enlisted, their minds were completely blank.
Meng Peiyu looked at her in surprise: "You know medicine?"
That shouldn't be! In her previous life, Qiao Manman never even went to work and was supported by Chen Junyan her whole life. She was living a very comfortable life.
How come after she was reborn, this person is now writing articles, taking job exams, and even making ointments?
Could it be... that the chip was replaced?
Thinking of this, Meng Peiyu felt a surge of fear. But then, a sinister look flashed across her face.
