"Yes." Xiao Wan responded, resigned and sat back down by the pot, continuing to look at the pot.

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly. Gu Xiaoyou took Xiao Wan's place, extinguished the fire, and used a fishing net to fish out all the residue of the ingredients in the pot.

He covered the iron basin with fine gauze and ordered: "Pour everything in the pot in."

"Okay." Xiao Wan put a towel on the handle of the pot and slowly poured the concoction in the pot into the basin.

A layer of fine residue was left on the gauze. Gu Xiaoyou filtered it again before putting the concoction away and covering it with cotton cloth.

"Alright, help Xiao Chen look after the pot. It will probably be ready in the morning. You two can switch shifts and have a meal or something." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chen must take good care of the pot." Xiao Wan said, going over to help Xiao Chen take care of the pot.

It is actually a necessary task for the clerks in the medical clinic to read the medicine. There is no problem at all for two clerks to read the medicine.

Gu Xiaoyou was quite relieved about them. After giving some instructions, he sent the iron plate to the ice cellar to freeze it.

After a busy day, other shops were closing one after another. Gu Xiaoyou looked at the time on her phone and saw that ten hours had passed. She returned to the medical clinic.

The two guys couldn't sit still after watching the pot all day, and were yawning in the backyard.

Hearing the footsteps, he quickly cheered up and sat upright on the bench.

Gu Xiaoyou chuckled softly: "You guys have been working hard for a day, go and have a rest. I will do the rest."

"It's not hard, let's help." The two guys said quickly.

"It's really not necessary. I still have Zhixia and Sister Zhou to help. You can go and rest." Gu Xiaoyou waved her hand and refused.

"Okay, I have something to ask you." The two guys got off the bench, secretly rubbed Zuma's buttocks, and left the backyard.

Gu Xiaoyou opened the lid of the stew pot that had been simmering for ten hours. The tortoise shell had been softened by the stew.

Zhou and Zhixia came closer and smelled a strange medicinal smell.

"What did you do?" Zhixia pinched her nose and asked softly.

Zhou has been making isatis root for a while and accepted the taste of the medicine well. He asked curiously: "Are you researching new medicines again?"

"It is a type of traditional Chinese medicine, but I plan to sell it as a drink in a morning tea shop." Gu Xiaoyou put the medicinal materials into the pot and started to simmer it over low heat.

"Ah, miss, do you want to invite someone to drink medicine?" Zhixia asked in surprise.

"You don't want to boost the medical clinic's business like this, do you?" Ms. Zhou also asked with some surprise.

Gu Xiaoyou said in a funny tone: "What are you two talking about? Guiling paste is the same as medicinal food and can be consumed daily. Oh, I'll find out when I make it."

"Okay, then this slave is here to help." Zhixia rolled up her sleeves and said positively.

"Then help me prepare water. It will take about thirty bowls of water to cook this portion." Gu Xiaoyou ordered politely.

"Thirty bowls..." Zhixia muttered: "I know this, so go prepare it now."

"I'm with you." Mrs. Zhou also went to the kitchen to help.

Gu Xiaoyou used a cattail leaf fan to light the fire. After a while, Zhixia and Zhou came over cautiously carrying a tray.

Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyes and saw that each of the two men had fifteen bowls of water on their trays. They were holding them carefully with both hands, and their steps were careful and careful.

"You two are too stubborn. I said thirty bowls, so you brought thirty bowls. Can't you bring up a bucket of well water and scoop out the water in a bowl?" Gu Xiaoyou was amused and said helplessly.

"Yes, you can ladle water." Zhixia froze in place when she heard this. She didn't know whether to send the bowl on the tray or take it back to the kitchen and do as Gu Xiaoyou said.

Zhou had almost reached Gu Xiaoyou and simply brought the tray over: "We've already done this, let's talk about it next time."

Gu Xiaoyou nodded in a funny way: "It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly. Zhixia, please bring it here and stop standing there stupidly."

"Yes, Miss." Zhixia started moving again and walked over with a tray.

Next, it was fun for Gu Xiaoyou to boil the medicine. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Zhixia handed over bowls of water, and boiled thirty bowls of water over a slow fire to remove the foam from the medicinal materials.

Gu Xiaoyou poured the turtle shell into the pot of medicinal ingredients and glanced at the two of them teasingly: "I want fifteen bowls this time."

Zhixia's face turned red: "Slave, please take back the extra bowl."

As he spoke, he stacked the bowls while counting.

"Give me half, and I'll send it back with you." Zhou felt uncomfortable and moved over to help.

The two women each took seven or eight bowls and strode back to the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoyou covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling that what happened this time was enough to keep her laughing all winter long.

While smiling, Zhixia and Zhou came back after delivering the bowls.

Zhou's face looked okay, while Zhixia's face was still red.

Gu Xiaoyou coughed lightly, calmed down, and continued to cook the medicine.

When the heat was almost done, Gu Xiaoyou used a colander to separate the medicinal residue, put a towel on the edge of the pot, and poured the medicinal juice in the pot into five bowls.

The remaining concoction continued to simmer over slow heat. When the heat was about to turn off, Gu Xiaoyou stood up and said, "Look at the pot for me, don't rush into it. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Yes." Zhixia responded, sat down where Gu Xiaoyou was, and looked at the fire with a cattail leaf fan.

Gu Xiaoyou went to the kitchen and mixed the cold concoction and eagle chestnut powder that had been prepared in advance to make a paste.

Taking three spoons with him, he took them out of the kitchen and sent them to the backyard. He poured the paste into bowls. Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the pot, where the concoction was boiling.

"It's time to turn off the heat." Gu Xiaoyou ordered, and poured the rolling concoction into the powder bowl with a towel to brew.

Gu Xiaoyou's estimate was pretty good, almost all of the fifteen bowls were filled with concoction.

"Take a spoon and mix it well, wait until it cools down a bit, then put it in the ice cellar to freeze, and you can eat it tomorrow." Gu Xiaoyou gave the spoons to them and kept stirring in the bowl.

The two people carefully mixed the concoction and powder slurry according to Gu Xiaoyou's instructions. Each person had five bowls, and the mixture was quickly completed.

It's quite cold in winter, so the concoction became a bit colder after the three people stirred it.

Gu Xiaoyou touched the edge of the bowl: "Okay, let's send it to the ice cellar."

"Let's go deliver them." Mrs. Zhou moved a few medicine bowls onto the tray.

"Let's come together. We'll go back home together after we send them off." Gu Xiaoyou said.

"Okay." Zhixia and Zhou each held a tray and nodded.

The three of them walked to the courtyard with the ice cellar next door. Gu Xiaoyou wanted to help carry the tray, but they refused. She had to be the vanguard, opening the door, carrying a lantern to light up, and getting down from the ice cellar first to pick them up.

Pallet.

After working for a while, the three of them put all the bowls into the ice cellar.

Gu Xiaoyou put down the last bowl and shivered: "Come up quickly, it's so cool in the ice cellar in winter."
Chapter completed!
