Chapter 41 Weird Medicinal Materials
Seeing that Ning Youbei said this, Qu Chu did not insist on accepting the order now.
Ning Youbei pointed to the strange flowers and plants on the table and asked, "What are these?"
Qu Chu's expression was faint:
"This is a medicinal material of Bingyu. She said that I have suffered some physical losses when I went to the west this time, so I can take care of it."
Ning Youbei stretched out his body, "Your junior sister also knows medicinal materials like Master Su?"
Qu Chu's expression still did not change much.
"Bingyu is different from Ying Xue. She has been studying medical skills since elementary school and knows more medicinal materials than Ying Xue. As for detoxification and drug production, she is far inferior to Ying Xue.
Yingxue has been studying medicine since elementary school, so it’s okay to let her detoxify people, but it’s not possible to let her treat people.”
While speaking, Qu Bingyu had already come out with a tray. There were bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, and a pot of wine on the tray.
A maid followed Qu Bingyu, holding a round stool in both hands.
The maid put the round stool and Qu Bingyu sat down.
She put the bowls and chopsticks and wine glass in front of Ning Youbei, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Ning Youbei.
"The previous wine was a medicinal wine that I specially prepared for Achu, and it is not suitable for the prince to drink. The prince tried this wine. This is the 'Drunk Huchun' brewed by Master Su."
When she was in Haiqing City before, Ning Youbei heard Su Yingxue say about this "Zuihuchun" wine. She asked her for some drinks, but later she forgot, but she didn't expect to drink it at the General's Mansion now.
Ning Youbei was not polite either, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The "Zuihuchun" wine is not spicy in the mouth, but it has a hint of sweetness and softness. After entering the abdomen, the pores of the whole body are relaxed, as if bathed in the spring sunshine and a sea of flowers.
"Good wine, this wine is rare in the world."
Qu Bingyu smiled:
"The 'Zhuchun' of Master Su is really good, but Achu doesn't like it very much. If the prince likes it, bring two oaths when he leaves."
Ning Youbei was not polite, "thank you Miss Qu, then."
He understood clearly that in this general's mansion, Qu Bingyu was the "female" master. As long as it was not involved in government affairs and military affairs, she could make the decision.
Qu Bingyu no longer talked to Ning Youbei, so she picked up a pink flower with chopsticks and put it into Qu Chu's bowl.
Ning Youbei asked curiously: "What is this pink flower?"
"This is called 'banyuetang', and its main effect is to loosen muscles and activate the meridians."
Ning Youbei pointed to a plate of blood-red vine-like "dish" and asked, "What about this?"
"This is called 'blood vine grass', and its main effect is to replenish blood."
Ning Youbei said curiously:
"I saw that the doctors in the Imperial Hospital prescribed medicines for replenishing qi and blood every time they were Angelica sinensis, Astragalus, wolfberry, donkey-hide gelatin, etc., and I have never heard of 'blood vine grass'."
Qu Bingyu smiled and didn't reply to him.
Qu Chu ate the "Banyuetang" clipped by Qu Bingyu and said coldly:
"This 'blood vine grass' has several dozen times stronger blood-enriching effect than Angelica sinensis. It has an immediate effect after taking it. It is a life-saving medicine for people who have lost a lot of blood, but it is very difficult to plant."
In fact, "Blood Vine Grass" also has miraculous effects on epidemics and miasma, but Qu Chu and Qu Bingyu subconsciously chose not to say anything.
Ning Youbei seemed to have not understood the displeasure in Qu Chu's words, and continued to be his curious baby.
"Is there a 'blood vine grass' in Mantuo Villa? Can the owner of Mantuo Village be planted?"
This time, not only Qu Bingyu did not answer, but even Qu Chu ignored him.
Perhaps because he received too much cold treatment from Qu Chu, Ning Youbei didn't feel embarrassed at all. He still said nonsense one after another.
...
After this "strange" meal, Ning Youbei read the imperial edict.
From then on, Qu Chu had two salaries: the first-rank chief coach and the third-rank An Dingbo.
When Ning Youbei left, he took two jars of "Zuihuchun" and asked Qu Bingyu to leave some "Blood Vine Grass".
Qu Bingyu gave it with a smile, "Blood Vine Grass" was still in a large jade box, and he carefully told Ning Youbei how to preserve and use "Blood Vine Grass".
However, Qu Chu's face was not so good-looking. He looked cold all the way, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped twice.
Qu Bingyu suspected that if she hadn't been present, Qu Chu might have taught the King of Chu a lesson.
Ning Youbei smiled and said to Qu Bingyu:
"Junior sister, if you have any good things in the future, remember to leave some for me. This time when you were in the west, the leader of the Haida tribe gave me a piece of top-notch purple jade. Anyway, Achu doesn't like these, so I'll send them to you later."
After hearing this, Qu Chu's face looked a little better.
Qu Bingyu glanced at Qu Chu and thanked with a smile.
After Ning Youbei left, Qu Bingyu smiled and pulled Qu Chu's arm, "You should be happy that King Chu treats you as his talent."
Qu Chu was still unhappy:
"Don't you know how difficult it is to plant the 'blood vine grass'? The seeds need to be cultivated with your blood before they can sprout. It's okay, and a big box will be left after one mouth is opened."
Qu Bingyu smiled and said, "Didn't the King of Chu also exchange purple jade?"
"How can Zi Yu compare the things outside the body with the 'blood vine grass'? It's not enough to exchange for two jars of 'Drunk Huchun'."
...
Ning Youbei went to the palace again with the "Blood Vine Grass" and "Zuihuchun".
Seeing him, the emperor asked, "Have you finished promulgating the order?"
"Well, I brought you something."
Ning Youbei carefully put down the "Blood Vine Grass" and "Drunk Huchun".
"Brother, this wine was brewed by the owner of Mantuo Villa Su, and it is called 'Zuihuchun'. I tasted it very delicious and came over two jars.
This medicinal material is called 'blood vine grass', which says that the blood-replenishing effect is dozens of times stronger than Angelica sinensis. It has an immediate effect after taking it. It is a life-saving medicine for people who lose a lot of blood, but it is very difficult to plant. You can call the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital to see what the effectiveness is."
Seeing Ning Youbei’s treasures like these two things, the emperor also became a little interested.
He opened the jade box and it was indeed a herb he had never seen before, with a faint smell of blood coming out.
"Eunuch Rong, come to the Imperial Hospital to announce a few imperial physicians who know medicinal materials."
After Eunuch Rong received the order, the emperor asked Ning Youbei: "Where did General Qu bring it?"
"It was her junior sister.
Today I went into the backyard of the General's Mansion. There were medicinal herbs grown by her junior sister, all of which I had never seen before. Her junior sister made vegetables for Achu to eat. I asked about the efficacy, and then asked for some shamelessness.
You didn't see it. When I asked her junior sister for this "blood vine grass", Achu wanted to beat me."
Listening to Ning Youbei’s vivid description, the emperor also laughed.
"You and General Qu are gone."
