Headache

  It was early in the morning, and Renhe Hall seemed extremely quiet. Anwen walked in softly and only saw an old doctor with a white beard standing by the medicine cabinet, frowning as if thinking about something.

  "The old doctor is good, the young woman wants to pick a few herbs."

  An spoke softly as he walked up beside Lao Daifu.

  Upon hearing the voice, the old doctor turned his head and saw An Yan with a gentle smile. The old doctor stroked his white beard and asked in a low tone, "I wonder what medicine does the young lady need?"

  "Three qian of Amomum villosum, Angelica sinensis and Lindera aggregata each."

  Upon hearing this answer, the old doctor looked at An Yan with a puzzled expression. The three medicinal ingredients were indeed unusual, and he couldn't think of any possible effects they would have when combined. The old doctor furrowed his brow in thought, then suddenly his eyes lit up as he remembered an ancient prescription. Sand ginger is used to treat chest tightness and fullness, food accumulation, and qi stagnation. Common nutmeg is warm and pungent, with the effect of warming the stomach and descending rebellious qi, stopping pain, and has a good therapeutic effect on spleen and stomach deficiency cold, belching, hiccups, vomiting diarrhea, and epigastric abdominal pain. When combined, these three ingredients have a stomach-tonifying and food-digesting effect. However, this combination is rarely used because there are more mild and effective prescriptions available, so this prescription was forgotten by people.

  With doubts in his mind, he couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what the young lady is going to use these three medicinal herbs for?"

  Brewing.

  Frank words without concealment, clear and bright eyes, soft and warm language.

  The old doctor's hand, which was stroking his beard, stopped in mid-air, and his face was full of astonishment. What kind of secret recipe was this? He too was a lover of wine, but he had never known that these three medicinal herbs could be used to make wine. However, since this winemaking secret recipe was extremely precious, he couldn't ask any further questions. Therefore, the old doctor turned around and began gathering the herbs, while An Yan stood quietly in place waiting.

  "Doctor, come and take a look at my mother."

  At this moment, a rather noisy sound came from outside the door, and three or four people entered Renshoutang.

  As soon as she turned her head, the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of eyes as clear as the sky. She was slightly stunned and looked closely, the owner of those sky-like clear eyes wore a cyan robe, slender figure, like a green bamboo. His face was handsome, with a warm and gentle temperament like jade.

  The man was anxiously supporting a woman in fine clothes, accompanied by a young man and woman who appeared to be their servants.

  The man entered the hall and supported a woman in fine clothes to the side of the old doctor, anxiously saying: "Doctor, my mother has a severe headache, please take a look."

  The old doctor happened to have just finished preparing An Yan's medicine, handed it over to him, and then reached out to take the pulse of the woman in luxurious clothes.

  Anwen held the medicine in her hand, standing aside and waiting to pay after things were over. Things had their own pace, she didn't rush, so she quietly watched from the side.

  The woman's face was pale, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her lips trembling slightly, apparently in great pain.

  The doctor finished taking his pulse and asked him a few questions, but then fell silent.

  "Doctor, how is it?"

  "This matter, I am powerless to help, and truly cannot see the cause of your wife's illness."

  The old doctor said helplessly, and for the old lady's illness, he was indeed at a loss.

  The man's face grew increasingly anxious, "Doctor, for goodness' sake, help my mother alleviate the pain, she is really suffering terribly."

  He walked all the way here and only saw a pharmacy, he didn't know how long it would take to get to the next one. At this time, his mother was in severe pain, but they couldn't afford to delay.

  The old doctor was in a dilemma after hearing the man's words. He couldn't see any symptoms, so how could he help relieve the pain?

  An Yan looked at the old lady's painful face, her eyes showing some distress, and gently bit her tender lips. Then, she changed her expression and said softly on one side: "My mother-in-law also often gets headaches, and every time she is in pain, her symptoms are similar to those of this lady. At such times, I will use a soft cloth strip to wrap around my mother-in-law's temples, which can temporarily relieve the pain."

  The man and the old doctor were caught off guard by An Yan's sudden words, both turning to look at her in surprise. An Yan also didn't show any embarrassment, continuing warmly: "This is a folk remedy that was occasionally obtained from a small woman's home, which is quite useful for relieving headaches."

  The old doctor stroked his white beard and said in a low voice, "It's worth a try."

  Then everyone surrounded the old lady and turned around. The old doctor took a soft cloth, grasped it with the right force and wrapped it around the old woman's forehead and temples.

  "It's indeed gotten a bit better, and it doesn't hurt as much as it did earlier."

  The old woman suddenly felt much better, and her complexion also eased up.

  "This method really can stop pain, young lady..."

  The old doctor suddenly seemed to have discovered some rare treasure, and his eyes, which had been somewhat dull, lit up at this moment. He turned around wanting to ask in detail, but found that there was no one on the spot. On the counter, however, were quietly lying twenty-nine cents. This was the money for the medicine he had just grabbed. The old doctor turned his head towards the medicine cabinet, staring blankly at the names and prices of each drawer.

  The man, however, turned his head towards the entrance, gazing at the bustling street, and in his mind, he was thinking about the woman's appearance. Only then did he realize that he only remembered that the woman was wearing a purple dress, but her face was not very clear. However, the woman's eyes, which were as clear as snow lotus in the sky, and her gentle and elegant temperament, had left a deep impression on him.

  An Yan held the medicine package in his hand and strolled along the bustling streets. As he walked, he thought about the bamboo leaf green wine.

  The white family's famous Chu State bamboo leaf green wine was once drunk by Tang Jinxiu, and she was also infatuated with it for a while. Therefore, she still remembers the taste in her mind now, so yesterday she advised the white family to bring back the bamboo leaf green wine. Because she had an idea, there is a better secret recipe for bamboo leaf green.

  The current bamboo leaf green wine is extremely rough compared to modern ones. If the modern formula and method are used to make bamboo leaf green wine, it will surely be famous again.

  She just didn't want the White family branch to be driven out and the secret formula to be taken away again. After all, the White family was now too weak, if they held a big fat meat in their hands, they would only become fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. So, the improvement of this bamboo leaf green wine still had to be grasped well. It couldn't be too outstanding, but it had to have new ideas to help the White family temporarily get out of its current predicament.

  So this time she only picked four of the ten or so medicinal materials for Zhuye Qing wine, and the best bamboo leaves for Zhuye Qing wine are those from Shannan, but she chose to use ordinary green bamboo leaves from Qingshan Mountain that have been used by the Bai family all along. The flavor will be three points better than the original Zhuye Qing, not outstanding, nor overwhelming. As for a better version of Fenjiu Zhuye Qing, let's wait until the Bai family is strong enough to give Chu Guo another surprise.
