Chapter 466: Letter from Hu Feng (9)

Bai Zhi said: “Although this cannot be considered a good thing, it can also save lives at critical times.”

Zhou Awu was not an outsider, this matter was related to his superiors, so Bai Zhi simply explained.

After hearing it, Zhou Awu pointed his finger to the pile of medicinal herbs in the carriage and said, “So, these medicinal herbs can save the lives of General Fu and General Zhou?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “You can say that.”

“Then, how are you going to deliver this thing when you’re done?”

Bai Zhi smiled and then waved her hand: “You don’t need to worry about this, I have my own plan, just wait and see.”

As soon as their carriage came out of the town’s gate, they saw Doctor Lu sitting in an ox cart.

Zhou Awu stopped the carriage and said to Doctor Lu on the cart: “Lu Dafu, we are going back to the village. Would you like to come back with us?”

Doctor Lu can’t help it. The oxcart moved too slow, he doesn’t feel this way at ordinary times. But now, he felt anxious. He found it very slow.

Zhou Awu helped Doctor Lu bring the herbs he bought inside the carriage. When Doctor Lu saw Bai Zhi was inside, he was surprised: “You’re here too?”

Bai Zhi smiled: “Yes, my niang is not feeling well recently. I bought some medicine for her.”

Doctor Lu said, “Look at you, why you didn’t just ask me to buy them? If you told me, you didn’t need to run this trip.”

Bai Zhi chuckled: “There is nothing to worry, I also just take some breathing.”

At this time, Zhou Awu moved up another medicine stove. The carriage suddenly seemed became crowded. Seeing the medicine stove, Bai Zhi was very satisfied. It was exactly the size she wanted, so she asked: “How much is this? I’ll pay you back.”

Doctor Lu waved his hand: “This is worthless, you don’t need to pay me. I’m giving it to you.”

“How can that be? I asked you to buy this for me, how can I not pay you? If that is the case, then I will not ask you to buy me anything in the future.” Bai Zhi said seriously.

However, Doctor Lu still insisted: “Zhi’er, compared to the advice you gave to our ancestral recipe, what is this? I haven’t thanked you well. This is my thank you gift, so don’t refuse.” The Lu Family has this secret recipe, which was equivalent to a cornucopia that cannot be broken.

Bai Zhi said: “I just said it casually, how can I take credit for it?”

Doctor Lu replied: “You may have said it casually, but it changed the fate of our Lu Family. Our Lu Family will likely start a new life because of what you said.”

Bai Zhi suddenly thought about it. It’s true, there are many people with an ancestral secret recipe made fortune. No matter how bad they may live, as long as they have food and clothing, they can survive in this world.

Thinking this way, the medicine stove in front of her seemed like nothing, so she accepted it frankly.

Back in the village, Bai Zhi first asked Zhou Awu to go to Doctor Lu’s house and unloaded all his medicinal herbs. Then, they returned home and unloaded the medicinal stove and medicinal herbs.

Bai Zhi opened the medicine packs one by one, quickly sorted them out, and picked out the herbs she wanted to use. Some of them must be soaked in the white wine first, and the rest must be soaked in clear water. After finishing all this, she went to Doctor Lu’s home. They made the ointment together.

Bai Zhi took advantage of her ability in overall planning. She performed three basic steps: boiling, collecting and combining herbs altogether, which greatly shortened the process of making ointment. Originally, Doctor Lu can make 10 cans of ointment a day. But today, with Bai Zhi’s help and the three medicinal stoves, they successfully brewed ointment in just an hour. After packing, they made 40 cans of ointment out of it.
