The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 313: Deciphering the Secret Recipe

Zhou Shaoping’s heart leapt with joy, and he whispered, "One more thing is missing, it’s got to be six kinds of herbs in the Liuwei Dihuang Pills."

Master Chen suddenly waved his hand, "No, it’s not mountain yuri, it’s wine-processed mountain yuri."

He opened his eyes, and Zhou Shaoping frowned, "Is there still one more that you can’t identify?"

Master Chen shook his head, "I could only identify five kinds of herbs."

Zhou Shaoping urged, "Think carefully again."

Master Chen took a bit more powder and put it in his mouth. He tasted it for a long time but still shook his head.

Zhou Shaoping snorted, "You better not be deceiving me."

"Your tongue is so adept, and yet there’s a herb you can’t recognize?"

Master Chen suddenly said, "Could it be yam? I tasted a slight hint of sweetness."

Yam has no significant aroma and only a faint, almost undetectable sweetness when eaten; tasteless things are naturally hard to identify.

Zhou Shaoping slapped his thigh, "It must be yam."

"I remember now, there’s a recipe called kidney Qi soup that’s similar to this formula, it’s only added with cinnamon twigs and aconite."

Master Chen nodded, "The Young Master is knowledgeable."

Zhou Shaoping excitedly stood up, "This recipe must be derived from kidney Qi soup!"

"Great, just great. On the first day, we’ve already obtained a secret formula."

"Given time, all the secret formulas of Renxin Hall will be ours!"

He looked at Master Chen, "Next, they should be making White Medicine, which is a good product that sells well daily. We must get that formula too."

He whispered, "I’ll go back first, and I’ll have my father configure the Liuwei Dihuang Pills based on the kidney Qi soup proportions to see if they come out the same."

Master Chen nodded, "Safe travels, Young Master."

Zhou Shaoping cheerfully opened the door, went downstairs, and exited through the side door.

Yun Jiao had just come out of the west wing and saw Zhou Shaoping leaving. She couldn’t help but wonder, why did he insist on staying here if he was just going to go out every day? Why not just stay at home?

Ah Hu had finished feeding the horses and came over. Yun Jiao remembered to ask him, "When you took Master Chen back earlier, was there anyone else at his house?"

Ah Hu shook his head, "He’s the only one at home, no one else."

"Anyway, I didn’t see anyone."

Yun Jiao thought to herself that maybe Master Chen, like Lao Jiu, had some unhealthy habit?

Otherwise, with his ability to earn two taels of silver a month, marrying a wife shouldn’t be a problem.

Yun Jiao decided to observe Master Chen for a while and, once she confirmed his character was trustworthy, she could gradually let him handle some of the simpler medicines.

She saw Jiang Youzhi idly sitting in the east wing corridor. After instructing Ah Tie to watch the fire, she walked over,

"Sanlang, I have something to ask you."

Jiang Youzhi smiled warmly and patted a chair beside him, "Sit and talk."

After Yun Jiao sat down, she felt a bit uneasy.

She hadn’t noticed it before, but once seated, she realized the distance between them was too close.

It was close enough to exceed the safe distance within interpersonal relationships.

Yet moving the chair away now seemed too deliberate and might make Jiang Youzhi misunderstand that she disliked him.

She leaned slightly to the side, trying to ignore her discomfort, and focused on the conversation, "I bought the house at the back, and it’s connected now."

"In the future, I want the women to move to the back courtyard."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "That’s appropriate."

This courtyard had too many people, and since the men and women weren’t all from the same family, living together really wasn’t proper.

It was only because everyone had a relatively simple nature that nothing had happened.
