Chapter 129 Applying Medicine
"This, this won't do?!"

Gao Fen could hardly believe her ears. Had this kid been driven mad by the spiciness of the chili peppers?

How can you calculate things like that and end up losing out?
“Auntie, this Jade Complexion Cream is a bit complicated and laborious to make. There are two kinds of rare medicinal materials involved, so one thousand yuan is enough.”

Taking the opportunity to pull her hand away, Su Ning explained with a smile as she took the money bag from her bosom and put it on the table, "Don't worry, I won't make money off you or lose money on myself."

"Really? It's really worth it?"

"That must be true."

Seeing her confident and sincere expression, Gao Fen had no choice but to open the money bag with some skepticism.

After counting out a thousand yuan, he thought for a moment and then took two hundred more. "Let's compromise and keep it this much."

I looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, her face clearly saying: "Either this much or all of it."

Su Ning stopped arguing and held the money in her hand. "Auntie, I'll go make today's ointment. It'll probably take about an hour or two."

"Hey, Xiao Su, you go ahead and do your work. We won't bother you. We'll just rest and wait in this courtyard."

"Thank you, Sister Su."

He ruffled Xiaolian's hair, then got up and went back to the bedroom.

Put the money in your hand into the metal box in your desk drawer, which is used to store daily expenses.

With 1,200 yuan added to her monthly salary notes, Su Ning twitched her lips, seemingly realizing that she was alone and that her spending speed couldn't keep up with her earning speed.

It's good, yes, it's good!

He closed the cookie tin and put it back in the drawer, then got up and locked the doors and windows. Hearing the faint sounds of laughter coming from the yard, he turned and slipped into the space.

……

In the Peach Blossom Spring.

The herb garden by the spring has taken shape after growing thanks to the medicinal seeds given to it by Teacher Ge.

After thoroughly memorizing the pharmacopoeia, she became increasingly adept at identifying medicinal herbs, and she no longer suffered from the embarrassment of mistaking everything for grass.

Upon arriving at the herb garden, I picked several portions of the medicinal herbs needed for the Jade Complexion Cream and packed them into the small basket I carried with me.

After fetching a basin of spring water and taking a piece of blue jade, Su Ning entered the simple thatched hut built next to the herb garden.

Inside the thatched hut was a long, waist-high counter, on which were pitifully few tools for making medicine, all of which she had salvaged from a recycling station.

Having had several experiences making jade cream, it was undoubtedly much easier to do it again than when I was initially flustered.

After carefully processing all the medicinal herbs, I began to simmer them over a low flame on a small stove, following the prescribed order.

While she was at it, she ground the blue jade into a fine powder.

Fortunately, this can be operated using mental power in space; otherwise, this grinding step alone would have taken an unknown amount of time.

A piece of jade less than half the size of an adult's palm, when ground into powder, yields only a small bowl's worth.

Pour in spring water and stir until it becomes a thin, viscous paste. Use a bamboo sliver to scrape out an appropriate amount and add it little by little to the ointment.

……

I followed the steps described in the book exactly, but the result...

Looking at the freshly made Jade Complexion Cream in my hand, which had once again transformed into soap.

Suning has remained unusually silent: What exactly is wrong with this?
Why do the medicines she makes always mutate in various ways, such as turning from powder into liquid and ointment into solid?
Without exception, it happened several times!
What if she tries to make the pills but can't get a single one out?

This... it feels like there's a high probability of that happening.

She shook her head with a wry smile. It was fortunate that Teacher Ge hadn't agreed to take her as a disciple. He was getting old and had a heart condition, and she was afraid that teaching this 'deadwood' would really make her sick.

"Forget it, the boss makes the medicine. As long as it works, who cares about the quality!"

Silently comforting herself, Su Ning put the Jade Complexion Cream into an empty box.

After stretching out, he picked up the wooden box and turned to leave the space.

Gao Fen and her daughter were sitting on the veranda in the courtyard, chatting quietly.

Even after the Indian summer, there are still many mosquitoes. Fortunately, mint has been replanted in the yard to repel mosquitoes. Otherwise, if I sat there at night, I would definitely be covered in bites in no time.

Gao Fen, who was holding a large palm-leaf fan, paused when she saw Su Ning coming out of the house. She quickly stood up with a smile and said, "Quick, Su, are you tired? Sit down and rest for a while, son."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Su!"

"Hehe, it's not as tiring or hard as you imagine. My legs just get a little sore and numb from standing for a long time, but I feel better after a while."

Without standing on ceremony, Su Ning sat down on the low stool in front of Xiao Lian, looking at Gao Fen who had brought out a small stool from under the eaves. "Auntie, last time was just to test the medicine's effects; this time we'll begin the formal treatment."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Su, we'll do whatever you say!"

"Xiao Lian, go wash your face first. Wash your face and neck thoroughly, just like last time, and make sure there's no sweat."

"Ah."

Xiaolian nodded to indicate that she understood, quickly stood up and went to the bathroom to carefully wash her face and neck with soap.

When she returned, the scars on her face and neck were rubbed until they were bright red.

This girl... is just too honest.

A smile appeared in Su Ning's eyes. Seeing that the girl had straightened up even after sitting down, Su Ning gently patted her back and said, "Xiao Lian, relax."

"Just like the other day, there won't be much of a numb or itchy feeling, so don't worry."

"Yes, Sister Su, I'm not afraid. I can endure the tingling and stinging sensation."

Hearing the soft, comforting words behind her ear, Xiaolian subconsciously smiled and relaxed.

As for the numbness, itching, and stinging, what do they matter compared to the ugly scars all over his body?
Grandma, Dad, Mom, and my brothers have sacrificed so much for her and spent so much money, all in the hope that she would get better.

As long as she can get better, as long as she can become like an ordinary person, she is willing to endure any pain or suffering.

"Sister Su, you can do it now, I'm ready."

"it is good."

I lowered my head and opened the wooden box in my hand. After being soaked in the last spring water, the blue 'soap' had a touch of cold white.

Judging from appearance alone, the jade cream in her hand was even more beautiful than described in the medical classics.

As for the effects, needless to say.

"Auntie, hold Xiaolian back a bit. Her face is different from other places; the stimulation might be greater."

"Hey, okay."

Upon hearing this, Gao Fen quickly got up and went to her daughter's side, wrapping her arms around her.

As the Jade Complexion Cream was applied to her face, Xiao Lian's body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

From her tightly biting lower lip and the trembling of her dark eyelashes in her closed eyes, it was easy to see that the ointment felt much more uncomfortable on her face than it had on her hands during the previous experiment.

"Xiao Lian, how are you feeling? Do you feel a burning sensation?"

"Thank goodness, Sister Su, I don't feel a burning sensation. It's still the same stinging and itchy feeling as yesterday."

"Bear with it, it will be fine once the medicine dissolves and seeps into the skin."

"Ah."

After applying layer after layer, the pale blue color on her face gradually turned transparent.

Finding that the Jade Complexion Cream was working and slowly penetrating the skin, Su Ning stopped applying it and began to press it evenly with her fingertips.

More than half an hour later, when the ointment applied to the last spot on her neck had taken effect, she straightened up and distanced herself from the other person, allowing the light from the corridor to shine fully on Xiaolian's body and face.

“This…this is too amazing!”

Although she had already seen it yesterday, Gao Fen still couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when she saw it again.

It truly is something passed down from our ancestors!
Looking at the spot on her daughter's face where the scars had disappeared, it was the first time she had clearly seen what her Lianwa looked like after growing up.

Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes, and Gao Fen immediately wiped them away to keep her daughter's face from blurring her vision.

"I knew our Lianwa was the best!"

"mother?"

Wanting to touch it but not daring to, Xiaolian turned back to look at her mother's tearful, deeply moved expression, feeling a little uneasy. "Mother, is my face healed?"

"alright, alright!"

Gripping her shoulders tightly, Gao Fen nodded affirmatively, "You look just like your great-aunt, with big eyes and a small mouth, you're so adorable."

"mother!"

“Auntie, you’re not exaggerating. Xiaolian, do you remember when I said you were very pretty? Come on, take a good look and see if we’re right.”

Su Ning took out a mirror and handed it to Xiao Lian with a smile.

I will resume regular updates tomorrow. Thank you for your votes and support.
