The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 281: The Terror of Being Dominated by Mosquitoes

Jiang Youzhi gazed at her, "Tell me, is my prescription correct?"

Yun Jiao took a sip from her cup, "It’s absolutely perfect. At this rate, you’ll soon be a master."

As they were talking, Jiang Youzhi suddenly stared at her face, "On your face—"

Yun Jiao reacted quickly and smacked her face, "How come there’s a mosquito already?"

Xiang City has a lot of water and therefore a lot of mosquitoes. Now that the weather is warm, mosquitoes are coming out eagerly.

She’s the kind of person that attracts mosquitoes.

She missed hitting the mosquito, and the blood was already sucked out. Yun Jiao scratched her own cheek while saying, "This won’t do. Without screen windows and doors, summer will be unbearable."

Jiang Youzhi watched as Yun Jiao scratched a red mark on her fair cheek and couldn’t help but say, "Scratch gently."

Then he asked, "What are screen windows and doors?"

"They’re wooden frames with mesh stretched over them." Yun Jiao explained with gestures, and Jiang Youzhi quickly understood.

He thought for a moment, "I got it. I’ll have Du Ruo find a carpenter tomorrow to make them as soon as possible."

Yun Jiao suddenly remembered that summer was coming, and she had to quickly make an ointment similar to Golden Balm, or else what would she do about mosquito bites.

There’s no Six God here.

She quickly sat down to recall the formula for Golden Balm. Peppermint oil, absent, only peppermint leaves.

Camphor, absent, as it’s a synthetic chemical.

Eucalyptus oil is extracted from eucalyptus leaves, and there’s no eucalyptus tree here at all.

Yun Jiao thought about it and decided to make a simpler version of Six God.

At least the raw materials are available at the pharmacy.

The exact proportions are unknown, but that’s okay; just trial and error will do. Besides, this is not something to eat, so a bit more or less won’t matter as long as it works.

Yun Jiao quickly wrote down six ingredients: Ice chips, peppermint, musk, honeysuckle, snake gall, and bezoar.

This formula is secretive as well, so she could only rely on the possibly true or false recipe she once saw online.

Some people also mentioned pearl powder, so she’ll try it out then.

Her pharmacy doesn’t have snake gall, so she’ll have to stock up at the medicine market.

The reason for a simpler version is that there’s no industrial fragrance here, so she can’t make flower dew.

Extracting fragrance from flowers and plants through distillation is too time-consuming and costly, and common people can’t afford it.

Yun Jiao aims to create an affordable and accessible product.

As for what exactly will be produced from these ingredients, Yun Jiao isn’t sure either.

Jiang Youzhi found it amusing watching Yun Jiao ponder, frown, and write on paper. She completely forgot he was still standing there.

After standing for a moment, he silently left.

At this moment, in an old courtyard, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen opened the door and shouted, "Dad, Mom, Cousin, I’m back."

Gu Mei came out of the main room, "Why are you back so late? Didn’t I tell you not to work at night?"

Shen Qing walked in while rubbing his arm, "A cargo ship arrived late in the afternoon, and unloading took until now."

Gu Mei said, "You must be starving. There’s hot food for you on the stove, hurry up and eat."

Shen Qing entered the kitchen, took the hot food from the pot, went to the main room, found a chair, and started wolfing down the meal.

The only room in the courtyard with a lit oil lamp was the main room.

Gu Mei and Aunt Gu Lian were mending clothes under the oil lamp.

All the clothes that people sent for washing had to be mended if torn before being returned to them.

After a few bites, Shen Qing switched to holding the chopsticks in his right hand and casually rubbed his left shoulder.

Gu Lian noticed this and quickly asked, "What’s wrong with your shoulder?"

Shen Qing was left-handed and usually ate with his left hand.
