He only used three pills himself.
This is his limit.
After taking three pills, he felt that his stomach was so full that taking more pills would not help.
However, those three people were different; three pills were far from their limit.
The actions of True Lord Li Shui and True Lord Xiao Yue are understandable, after all, they are immortals, but Mr. Zhongli...
Bai Shu glanced at him sideways, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
He is indeed no ordinary person.
I wonder which immortal he is...
After the meal, everyone sat together to drink tea and chat.
Bai Zhu took out the textbook on medical common sense that she had compiled during this period.
"As per Mr. Xia's request, I have compiled methods for the prevention and treatment of some common diseases and injuries, as well as methods for distinguishing some common herbs and poisons."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Bai."
"It should."
"Cousin, could you please review this?"
"it is good."
Xia Ci took the textbook and sat down to look through it.
She was the previous goddess of herbs and was extremely knowledgeable about plants, making her the most suitable person to finalize the design.
Taking this opportunity, Bai Zhu told Xia Zhi about his recent microscopic research.
“Mr. Xia, I have accidentally discovered that some molds seem to be able to kill bacteria.”
"!?"
“A few days ago, I used patients’ bodily fluids to culture some bacteria, hoping to develop a drug that could target them. However, due to improper storage, they grew mold. Later, I observed them and found that most of the bacteria in some samples had disappeared. I suspected it was due to the mold, so I cultured new bacteria and introduced the same mold into them. The bacteria died again.”
"..."
You're a fucking genius.
If this continues, you might end up producing penicillin and oxytetracycline.
Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then said, "Dr. Bai, your guess is true."
"Has Mr. Xia also conducted this type of research?"
"Yes, mold and bacteria have been fighting for countless years, and they have long since developed various substances that are harmful to each other."
"Could this substance be used to treat human illnesses?"
"Theoretically, it is possible; the difficulty lies in purification."
"Oh?"
"Moreover, even if it is successfully purified, some people are still not suitable for using this drug."
Xia Zhi explained some knowledge about antibiotics to Bai Zhu.
Bai Shu took out a small notebook and carefully wrote down what he said.
After chatting for a while, Xia Ci came over and said, "Dr. Bai's textbook is very rigorous and there are no problems."
Bai Shu nodded: "That's good."
"However, I think the illustrations of those herbs could actually be replaced with photographs taken with a phonograph camera; that would probably have a better effect."
“That’s true. I’ll get some new photos when I get back.”
"No need to trouble Dr. Bai, I'll have Qiqi take the photos."
"Seven Seven...that's fine too."
Bai Zhu rose to take his leave.
True Lord Li Shui, True Lord Xiao Yue, and Zhong Li also took their leave.
Xia Zhi got up to see him off.
"Please come to our restaurant again on December 30th."
"Okay! I'll definitely come!"
As they stepped out of the summer shop, True Lord Lishui hurriedly called out to Bai Shu, "Doctor Bai, please wait."
Bai Shu turned around: "True Lord, what is this?"
Li Shui Zhenjun smiled sheepishly and said, "It's nothing else, I just wanted to ask if you still have that stomach medicine from before?"
Bai Zhu shook his head apologetically, "I only prepared one bottle this time, and I've already used it all up."
"I wonder when Dr. Bai will prescribe another medicine?"
"This one……"
"Does Dr. Bai have some difficulties?"
"To be honest, this pill is no ordinary pill; it contains a special medicinal herb."
"Oh?"
"Years ago, I used up most of it in my research on the elixir of immortality before I could figure out its medicinal properties and discover that it has the effect of strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion. But this time, I have used up all of it, so I am temporarily unable to formulate this pill."
"I see."
Lord Lishui suddenly understood and nodded.
True Monarch Xiaoyue said, "Although spiritual herbs are precious, they are not impossible to find. I still have a few old friends. Doctor Bai, can you name the spiritual herbs? I will go and ask for you. Perhaps there will be good news."
"Oh? Since the True Lord is willing to help, that would be wonderful."
"Well, we're all trying to cure our stomach problems."
"Too."
"It would be best to have it prepared before December 30th. I heard from Yao Yao that Mr. Xia is going to take his employees on a trip next spring, so it might be difficult to eat his cooking then."
"Ah."
--
Inside the small shop in summer.
Seeing that Xia Zhi was free, Yun Jin quickly went over to him.
"Mr. Xia, my new play is finished. I would appreciate your guidance!"
"Was the rumor in the newspaper actually true?"
"That news was actually leaked unintentionally by a few of the older members of our Yunhan Society while they were having tea outside. They didn't know that a reporter was secretly overhearing it."
"Haha, Miss Ningguang, the Liyue Newspaper is thriving!"
Ningguang smiled and asked, "I wonder what the name of Miss Yunjin's new play is?"
"The Legend of Haishan".
"The Legend of Haishan? Could it be the story that happened to Beidou?"
"Ok!"
Ningguang looked at her and smiled, "I didn't expect... if Beidou knew about this, she would be very interested... I'll tell her about it later."
“I had actually gone to see Sister Beidou before and heard her tell her story from back then, but I didn’t tell her that I was going to use her story to write a play, I wanted to give her a surprise.”
"That's it."
Xia Zhi was also somewhat interested and said, "Miss Yun Jin, please sing."
"Ah."
Yun Jin cleared her throat, straightened her expression, and began to sing a cappella.
"Finals transform into the Dark Sea, tail touches distant mountains..."
Chapter 337 My Astrology Never Goes Wrong (4K)
Xia Zhi had once heard the story of the Big Dipper cutting down the sea and mountains from a storyteller in a teahouse.
However, although the storyteller's narration was good, it was ultimately not as elegant and pleasant as Miss Yun Jin's singing at this moment.
Moreover, storytellers simply sit blankly on the stage when they are telling stories, unlike Miss Yun Jin who sings and dances, making so many theatrical movements that match the lyrics.
This is why creating an excellent opera is so difficult. Not only do you have to meticulously craft every line of the lyrics and come up with a suitable musical score, but you also have to design a set of matching stage movements, and even pay attention to the details of the facial expressions when performing each movement.
Of course, these questions are very simple for Xia Zhi now, because he is both a connoisseur and a master of drama, and he can tell what is good and what is bad just by listening.
So none of that matters right now. What matters is that Miss Yun Jin dressed up nicely for today because she's coming to the restaurant for dinner.
She was wearing a beautiful casual outfit, without the corset she usually wore when performing on stage, so when she made certain movements... well, it looked quite beautiful...
After finishing the song, Yun Jin stood still, slightly out of breath, and looked at Xia Zhi with anticipation.
