The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 308: Limited Numbers

Yun Jiao went in and closed the door behind her.

Then she slipped into the medicine storeroom.

She found the materials needed to prepare the White Medicine and put them into the grinder.

She then got the materials for Eight Treasures Eye Powder and put the raw materials into another grinder.

Yun Jiao made sure the powder wasn’t ground too fine.

It looked as though it had just been milled using stone rollers.

Afterwards, Yun Jiao came out with the medicinal powder, rested for a while in the west wing, and sat in a chair, pushing the millstone a few times with her foot. Then she opened the door, intending to call Lao Jiu and Ah Tie to grind the medicine.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the new helper, Zhou Shaoping, coming over from not far away, smiling at her, "Boss, are you preparing medicine?"

Yun Jiao nodded at him and called out loudly, "Lao Jiu, come and work the millstone. Ah Tie, use the mortar to grind the powder."

Lao Jiu came down from upstairs, and Ah Tie came out of the east wing.

The two of them went into the west wing to get busy.

Zhou Shaoping was still there, smiling at Yun Jiao, "Boss, I have something to attend to, I need to go back for a bit."

Yun Jiao waved her hand, "Go ahead, the workday is over, you can go wherever you like now."

Zhou Shaoping glanced at the west wing and left through the side door.

Yun Jiao remembered she needed to prepare the six god, which she hadn’t started yet, and no one had gone to the medicine market to get snake gall yet.

It would all have to wait until the master pharmacist came.

She remembered something and hurriedly went to the main room, "Mother, when you buy groceries tomorrow, get two pieces of tofu."

Mrs. Chen quickly nodded, "You want tofu? Sure, tomorrow—"

Yun Jiao waved her hand, "No, I need tofu for the medicine."

Among the raw materials for Eight Treasures Eye Powder, there was pearl.

The pearl needed to be cooked inside the tofu first, then ground in the mortar, and then finely processed using water flotation to get very fine pearl powder.

The powder made by water flotation was extremely fine and could reach 2500 mesh by modern standards.

Mrs. Chen said with some heartache, "You hardly slept last night, didn’t you?"

"Being this busy every day isn’t a solution, the patients never stop coming."

Yun Jiao fully agreed, "It can’t go on like this. I also need time to make medicine, and I haven’t had time to read lately."

A doctor must study for a lifetime. No matter how skilled you are, you can’t claim to know all the illnesses in the world.

She thought for a moment, "From now on, only twenty patients a day."

"We’ll put up a notice tomorrow."

Mrs. Chen nodded, "That’s right, you’re still young, you need to grow. It wouldn’t be good to overwork yourself."

Yun Jiao went to the west wing to instruct Lao Jiu and Ah Tie, "Go to bed early, if you can’t finish today, continue tomorrow."

She yawned, "I can’t keep going, I’m going to sleep first."

That night, Zhou Shaoping didn’t return.

The next morning, he showed up early.

After the shop opened, Ah Hu handed out number tags to the people waiting.

Then Ah Hu put up the notice.

Someone who could read got anxious, "How can this be? Doctor Gu only sees twenty patients a day, so I won’t get seen today?"

"I live far away, got up in the middle of the night yesterday, and came here early when the city gates opened. If I can’t get seen, won’t I have to stay in the city another night?"

This person was a farmer from near Xiang City, who had come over after hearing about a miracle doctor in Xiang City.

As the person was speaking, someone tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Brother, I have a number, number nineteen."

"I have some matters to attend to, seeing how anxious you are, why don’t I give you this number."
