Chapter 191: Get the medicine

The doctor bowed to Zheng Sisi and said, "How is Princess Anping?"

Zheng Sisi knelt down and responded: "You are too polite, doctor. May I ask your name?"

The doctor said politely, "The old man's surname is Fang. He learned some medical skills from his master and later opened a small medicine shop in Qingshui County."

Zheng Sisi: "Doctor Liu, you are so kind to help the local people solve their problems."

Doctor Liu said, "I am ashamed that I am not very good at medicine. I treated the father and son of the Liu family the day before yesterday and have a few questions for the county lady."

Zheng Sisi wondered what Doctor Liu wanted to ask, but she still said politely, "Doctor Liu, please speak."

Doctor Liu sorted out his thoughts and said, "I would like to ask why the county lady wrapped her head when treating Liu Shitou's wound."

Zheng Sisi understood and explained to Doctor Liu carefully, "I wrapped the wound with clean gauze to prevent dust and bacteria from sticking to the wound, causing inflammation and pus formation, which would aggravate the injury."

Doctor Liu nodded in sudden realization: "I see. I originally thought you used gauze to stop the bleeding. Also, the wound was treated very cleanly. What did you use to clean the wound?"

Zheng Sisi: "That is a kind of medicine specially used for cleaning wounds. It can reduce inflammation. It is made from a variety of Chinese herbs. It was also left to me by my master."

Doctor Liu thought that the master of the county lady must be a hermit who could come up with such a miraculous medicine and method. He asked again: "County lady, what kind of hemostatic medicine did you give Liu Shitou? I saw it the other day. It is different from the hemostatic medicine we use, and it has a better hemostatic effect."

Zheng Sisi said: "It is a kind of medicine powder called Yunnan Baiyao, and the ingredients used are quite rare."

Doctor Liu asked eagerly: "Do you have any more? Can you give me some for research? If we can find a prescription, injured people will be able to stop bleeding better in the future, and fewer lives will be lost."

Zheng Si thought for a moment and realized that Yunnan Baiyao was indeed the most effective medicine on the battlefield, as Doctor Liu said. It could stop bleeding quickly and save many soldiers. She said, "Doctor Liu, let me think about it and see if I can write down the ingredients of Yunnan Baiyao. If I can, I will definitely give you the recipe."

Doctor Liu bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, my lady. This is a good thing that will benefit the whole world."

Zheng Sisi thought about the ingredients she would need for the evening meal and wanted to ask Doctor Liu to get her some medicine. She said, "This is a small matter, Doctor Liu. I want to buy some herbs now. Can you help me get some medicine?"

Doctor Liu asked, "What medicine would the county lady like to get?"

Zheng Sisi reported the names of the medicines one by one: "Two catties of cinnamon bark, two catties of star anise, one catty of tangerine peel, two catties of Sichuan peppercorns..."

Doctor Liu was stunned when he heard this: "County Lady, why did you buy these herbs? What kind of prescription requires so many herbs? Isn't the dosage a bit too much?"

Zheng Sisi said, "I use these herbs for other purposes, not as medicine. Don't worry, Doctor Liu. I won't hurt anyone with them. Just give me the right amount."

Doctor Liu felt relieved when he heard that the medicine was not boiled for others to take. He said, "Please wait a moment, County Lady. I will personally prepare the medicine for you."

Then Doctor Liu went to the counter to get the herbs from the medicine cabinet.

What would Dr. Liu's expression be if he knew that Zheng Sisi used these herbs to make stews?

Doctor Liu gave Zheng Sisi more than a dozen packets of medicine according to the names of the herbs she reported. Zheng Sisi put the medicine in a big bag and handed it to Rose and Lily. The two took the bags and smiled widely.

The two smart people knew that the county lady bought so many ingredients today, so there would be delicious food tonight.

Zheng Sisi said to Doctor Liu, "I need to prescribe some herbs, including white astragalus, white angelica, white poria, ginkgo, and two kilograms of each."

Doctor Liu was speechless, but he still said, "County Lady, these are not for medicinal use."

Zheng Sisi nodded and said, "No."
