Chapter 376 Today is a Memorable Day
After dinner, I finished treating Big Brother in the afternoon, and then started making the medicinal ointment.
Grandpa helped crush the herbs with a medicine grinder, while Big Brother used a small sieve to help filter the pulverized medicine that Grandpa had ground.
Grandma went to the department store and bought a batch of small porcelain jars, then handed them over to Second Brother, asking him to wash and dry the jars while sitting in his wheelchair, ready for use.
We had a small-sized clay pot perfect for boiling the ointment, and Luo Qiao didn’t dare leave the kitchen for a moment, constantly watching the fire and stirring nonstop. It took two hours to boil the ointment until it turned a light yellow color, after which she extinguished the fire.
When it was not too hot, she hurriedly poured it into the porcelain jars that had been prepared in advance because it would become too thick and sticky to pour if it cooled too much.
Once completely cool, she sealed the jars with wax, and the job was done!
This ointment could also be used for Second Brother’s leg, so she made quite a bit of it—five jars for the family. Thinking of this, she thought of Lu Yichen’s leg. His leg injury was light compared to the others here.
She planned to treat him once the New Year was over and he should be able to recover when the weather warmed up a bit more. It was just a pity that it was a bit late; otherwise, he might not have needed to leave the military.
