Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 208 Purchasing Recipes and Preparation Methods

When Director Liu removed his hand, Bai Jing couldn't help but ask, "How is Director Liu?"

Director Liu didn't mince words. "He was injured before. Although it was an external injury, he still lost some vital energy and is now somewhat deficient. However, I've noticed that he's been taking tonics. Logically, he shouldn't be weak, but he still has some blood and qi deficiency, which I don't understand."

After saying that, he placed his hand on Jiang Chen's wrist pulse, and not only that, he also made him switch hands to take his pulse.

Jiang Chen was obedient; he did whatever Director Liu told him to do.

Several minutes later, Director Liu seemed to have confirmed something, and his face was no longer as serious as before.

“He had a brain injury before, although it was not obvious, but it was still an injury. Some supplements actually developed his brain area, which is not a bad thing for him. The problem is that he overdeveloped it. He will probably have to rely on supplements afterward. After all, a person's qi and blood have a limit and cannot withstand constant depletion.”

Wang Qianqian and Jiang Chen might have been confused by what he said, but Bai Jing understood.

The main reason is that she knows the reason why Jiang Chen has become like this; otherwise, she would also be caught up in it.

"Director Liu, do you have any good ideas to help him? He can't be taking medicine all his life, can he? That would be too miserable." Bai Jing felt sorry for Jiang Chen at this moment.

Although she had no other choice at the time, she didn't want him to drink medicine for the rest of his life.

“I do have a solution, but as you know, good traditional Chinese medicine is not cheap. If he can afford it, I can certainly help him.”

Director Liu was also in a bit of a dilemma.

Even the best-off family can't sustain this kind of diet long-term; it's hard to say whether it's good or bad for the young man.

But Bai Jing interpreted these words in a completely different way.

There is a way, but it will cost more money.

Money—she has no shortage of money.

"Director Liu, I'm willing to buy any medicinal herbs you need, but could you please replace the decoction with pills? That would be more convenient to carry." Bai Jing asked on the spot.

Seeing that she was anxious, Jiang Chen immediately took her hand and patted the back of her hand with his other hand to soothe her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing the two of them like this, Director Liu began to search for a solution in his mind.

After a long while, Director Liu finally spoke slowly, “It’s not that he can’t not drink the herbal decoction, but I have two options. One is to use medicinal wine to regulate his condition in the long term, and the other is, as you said, to replace the herbal decoction with pills, but that would be a big burden on his stomach.”

Every medicine has some degree of toxicity, and this is true even for tonics; too much of any one of them can harm the body.

"Medicated wine is more effective, but it can also be harmful to the body. Think about it."

After presenting the plan, Director Liu handed the initiative over to them.

Bai Jing looked at Jiang Chen and, considering his profession, knew that alcohol was definitely out of the question, but having some at home wouldn't be a bad thing.

Pills are definitely the best option, but they're also a burden on the stomach. "Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

Director Liu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I'm a doctor, not a god."

Jiang Chen shook his head at Bai Jing, then turned to Director Liu and said, "I'm a soldier, and it's definitely not good for me to drink alcohol for a long time. Let's make it into pills; that way it'll be easier to carry."

Hearing this, Director Liu knew they were determined. "Alright, but you'll have to figure out how to get the medicinal herbs yourself. After all, hospitals are places for treating and saving lives. They have some precious herbs, but not many. I can't give them all to you."

He explained this point first, since some critically ill patients also need life-saving medicine.

If the hospital doesn't keep these on hand just in case, they'll be left watching patients lose their lives if something really happens. He's a doctor; he wouldn't do something like that.

“Yes, but we’ll have to trouble Director Liu to make the pills.” Bai Jing understood this perfectly well.

But to everyone's surprise, Director Liu waved his hand and said, "I can teach you the preparation method and the recipe, but you'll have to pay for it. This isn't a purchase from me personally, but from the hospital."

He couldn't keep making pills for them forever, so he taught them the recipe and method and told them to make them at home.

He wasn't reluctant about it, except that the items couldn't be given away for free.

After hearing this, Bai Jing and Jiang Chen both looked at Director Liu with gratitude.

"If we could get the recipe and preparation method, that would be even better. Thank you, Director Liu. I'd appreciate it if you could arrange it."

"It's nothing," Director Liu smiled. "I'll write down the prescription for you now."

After writing down the prescription, Director Liu personally led Bai Jing and Jiang Chen to the dean's office.

The hospital director was very easy to talk to. "It's our honor to be able to help patients. You can give me the prescription for three hundred yuan, and we'll include the preparation method in the price."

The dean was understanding, and Bai Jing wasn't stingy either; three hundred it was fine, the prescription was worth it.

However, before leaving, Bai Jing asked Director Liu to prescribe some medicinal herbs for her, since she didn't have all the herbs listed in the prescription.

Not only that, Bai Jing also asked Director Liu for several medicinal wine recipes.

Those wines are not only for personal consumption, but also for gifting, making them much more thoughtful than the top-grade wines available on the market.

When Bai Jing left the hospital, she was carrying several medicine packets, all of which were prescribed by Director Liu for Jiang Chen.

"Let's go home. I want to try making the pills." Director Liu explained the process to Bai Jing. Now all that was left was practice, something that couldn't be replaced.

With so many medicinal herbs in hand, Bai Jing naturally intended to go home and try them out.

"Okay." Jiang Chen stared at her with a doting look. After she got on the bicycle, he pushed it and then leaped over Bai Jing with his long legs, landing on the bicycle seat with a thud.

Back home, Bai Jing immediately got to work. She wasn't afraid of making mistakes, since she had already stockpiled the main medicinal herbs and was willing to take risks.

First, boil the herbs, then wait, then add some medicinal powder as a binder, and finally roll them into pills by hand.

The first batch was definitely ruined; the medicine was all burnt, and the smell was absolutely awful.

The medicine is still effective, but it's just hard to swallow.

Bai Jing wanted to throw them away, but Jiang Chen stopped her. "Don't throw them away. This is the first medicine you made for me. We can't waste it." After saying that, he picked up the pills and put them into his palm.

"But it smells awful, are you sure you can eat it?" Bai Jing asked with a hint of disgust and embarrassment. "I'll definitely cook it well if I put it in the pot, or should we just throw it away?"

The smell alone was intoxicating to her; she wouldn't have made it if she hadn't wanted to go through the whole process herself.

"Don't worry about wasting medicinal herbs. There are still quite a few of these main ingredients. Have you forgotten the medicine I asked Sister Song to bring me?"

No matter what Bai Jing said, Jiang Chen was unwilling to throw it away. "No, I want to keep it. You made it yourself."

Seeing his reaction, Bai Jing stopped trying to persuade him. "I'll be careful later and make sure I don't torment your sense of taste."

Okay, she needs to be careful with the heat.
