*Crackling…* Flas were burning vigorously on the fire pit, with many dicinal herbs placed in an iron pot above it.
The iron pot had also co from the System, and Su Bai was using it directly to decoct dicinal paste.
Following the steps in the herbal encyclopaedia, he first soaked the herbs. Then, he removed the impurities and put them into the iron pot to brew.
The crushed herbs from earlier were also added to simr together – this step was to turn all the herbs into a paste-like state.
Because only in paste form could it be preserved for a longer period, and it would also be more convenient for both use and storage. When needed, one could simply scoop out a small amount with a tool and apply it to the desired area. This way, there was no need to constantly crush herbs and then apply them – which in itself was a troubleso process.
If one were accidentally injured by beasts in the wilderness and could not walk, how would they gather herbs then? Plus, if the Shaman Bone Tablet had already been used up, would not that an they were in an even worse situation?
If one could carry herbs that only needed to be applied when injured, they could hold on until others ca to rescue them. Moreover, it would be very convenient for the Tribe mbers to use – they would just need to collect the dicinal paste from the hospital.
Whether it was for colds or injuries, the dicinal paste could be used. In short, it was both convenient and quick.
"Shaman, these herbs sll really bad…" Yu Ying wrinkled her nose as she took a heavy sniff. She had originally thought the uncrushed sll was bad enough, but in fact, she had been too naive. The sll after brewing made her feel even worse, and her pink fox tail drooped down.
"Hahaha…" Su Bai laughed and continued. "I think this sll is quite pleasant though."
Actually, the sll of these decocted herbs was exactly the sa as Traditional Chinese dicine from Earth. Su Bai had slled this kind of scent plenty of tis on Earth, and he actually quite liked the sll.
For so reason, every ti he slled it, it made him feel refreshed and comfortable.
"Really?" Yu Ying had an incredibly incredulous expression.
She tentatively released her pinched nose and tried to sll it again.
Her delicate nose twitched several tis, but her eyes remained tightly shut.
Less than a minute later, the girl pinched her nose again, her face full of indescribable feelings.
"No good, this sll is too horrendous." Yu Ying still showed an extrely resistant expression.
"Here, wear this." Su Bai handed her a mask.
He understood that not everyone likes the sll of Traditional Chinese dicine when first encountering it. It was like the sll of old wardrobes, storerooms or durians. Such things were preferences.
However, he expected after slling it for a long ti, and having more exposure to it, one would naturally co to like it gradually. Or at least, they would not be too bothered by the sll.
Yu Ying put on the mask but still did not dare breathe through her nose, continuing to breathe heavily through her mouth.
"It’s fine, you can breathe through your nose, the sll will definitely be much lighter after a while." Su Bai was amused by her adorable behaviour.
Yu Ying had an expression of disbelief, but still followed his instructions, slowly breathing through her nose.
She blinked her pink eyes in surprise and said. "Shaman, the sll really is getting lighter."
"If you don’t like it in the future, just wear a mask, and you’ll sll less of it." Su Bai said.
"This mask looks like the one Uncle Gu Mu wears, though ours seems a bit smaller." Yu Ying curiously stated.
"His mask is made of Beast Hide, the filtering effect isn’t as good as ours." Su Bai said.
Thinking of this, he planned to have soone send him a few good masks tomorrow, and also give so to Shan Qiu.
After all, both of their work environnts were dusty. Inhaling too much dust was not good for the lungs.
"Shaman, what will these dicinal pastes look like when they’re done brewing?" Yu Ying asked. She was curious if these plants could really be used to treat illness after being decocted. Looking at the green liquid being brewed; it looked quite frightening.
"You’ll know when it’s done." Su Bai mysteriously said.
Rather than explaining so much verbally now, it would be better to let her see the finished product directly.
"En." Yu Ying nodded expectantly. She truly loved watching the Shaman create new things, not for anything else, but because each event was eye-opening. Whether it was the classroom, toilet, or Wolf Tail Grass Paper and pottery, each item was amazing. Those materials were all things they used daily now.
Unexpectedly, after passing through the Shaman’s hands, they could beco useful things for the Tribe, which was truly quite shocking.
*Splash splash…*
*Rumble rumble…*
Three or four hours later, the sky grew darker, with heavy rain continuing to fall outside the house, accompanied by the constant sound of thunder.
But inside the room was a scene of peaceful tranquillity, with Su Bai and the fox eared girl sitting by the fire pit.
As if the heavy rain outside had nothing to do with them, their eyes were focused only on the pot of herbs above the fire pit.
"Shaman, I think I’m starting to like this sll." Yu Ying’s fox ears twitched.
"After it becos dicinal paste, it will naturally sll better." Su Bai smiled.
He took down the pot of herbs from the fire pit. The contents were still liquid, but slowly becoming paste-like.
Following the steps in the herbal encyclopaedia, he operated carefully, putting the paste into small pottery jars.
He filled several pottery jars in sequence before completely emptying the pot of dicinal paste.
"Alright, sll it and see if it’s better now." Su Bai handed over a pottery jar.
The fox eared girl took the jar and breathed in deeply, then her pink eyes grew wide.
"It really does sll much better." Yu Ying nodded firmly and asked. "Shaman, is the dicinal paste finished now?"
"Yes, this dicinal paste is done. When you want to use it, just scoop out a bit and apply." Su Bai nodded and said.
This dicinal paste he made was specifically for treating itchy skin caused by mosquito bites or other insect bites.
"Shaman, how long can this dicinal paste last?" Yu Ying thought the small pottery jar looked very tiny, and expected it to be used up in no ti.
"Actually, you only need a tiny bit each ti you apply. So, even a small amount can last for a very long ti." Su Bai explained.
Seeing her expression, he naturally knew what she was thinking. [Though, it will quickly be used up in no ti if applied without knowledge of how to use it…]
"I see," Yu Ying nodded.
