The children's laughter took away a little of Lin Mengya's sadness.
She has ordered people to keep a close eye on the situation over there. Once a signal is sent out, Tie Da and Tie Er will inform them as soon as possible.
However, Lin Mengya was not idle. She stayed with the children for a while, then coaxed them to sleep and do their homework.
And she came to the big kitchen on the ship.
There is a strong medicinal smell here.
The chef who was guarding in front of the big pot saw her coming in and immediately went to greet her.
"Master, I am following your instructions. It has been cooking for two hours. Do you want to add more firewood?"
The chef was unsure.
What he has cooked most in his life is a big pot of rice, and the more elaborate ones are making some snacks. This is the first time in his life that he has cooked medicinal materials like this.
It's not that he has no knowledge, but whoever makes medicine doesn't seem to be so careless, right?
And this smell, uh, how should I put it?
Anyway, he felt that his big iron pot might be in vain.
"No need to add more firewood yet, just lift the lid of the pot and let me take a look."
Lin Mengya carefully checked the concentration of the medicinal fragrance in the air, it should be about the same.
So, as soon as the chef opened the lid of the pot, a spicy and a bit sour taste spread quickly.
Although Lin Mengya was prepared, she still choked and sneezed several times.
Not to mention the chef next to him and Wen Jing who just came in.
"Ahem, cough, cough, is it done?"
Wen Jing obviously didn't expect that the medicine would be finished just after he went out for a while.
Lin Mengya quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and then asked Xiao Yao to lower her sensitivity.
It's not too low. If she continues like this, she feels like she'll either choke to death or sneeze until her brains spurt out.
"Ahem, cough, well, it should be almost done, let's take a look first."
Lin Mengya waved the steam from the pot with her hand. The temperature was still quite high, but fortunately the chef controlled the temperature well.
I saw a pot of something similar to Jianghu churning inside this big pot.
From time to time, huge bubbles would float up, then burst with a "pop" sound, splashing a small piece of medicinal juice.
Seeing this thing, the three of them became silent for a rare moment.
The chef felt that he really couldn’t keep the pot!
The other two doctors were thinking about it. Although the stuff had been brewed, they were still unsure whether it would be useful.
"Well, that should be it. Master, please just keep this thing warm. It doesn't need to be too hot. Don't let it get cold." Lin Mengya said to the master.<
br>
"Okay! Don't worry, you two! As long as I'm here, it will never be cold."
If you don’t understand, you don’t understand, and if you feel sorry for me, you feel sorry for me, but the master is a person who can distinguish between public and private matters.
It was his duty to do things, and he would never be vague about it.
Lin Mengya took the wooden spoon next to her and carefully scooped a spoonful into a white porcelain bowl.
Wen Jing also came over. He was also very curious about the things inside, and wanted to see if it had magical effects like what the head of the Gong family described.
Lin Mengya put the things into the bowl with the spoon, then picked it up and said to Wen Jing, "Doctor Wen, let's go back and do an experiment first."
Wen Dingding nodded and hurriedly left with her.
Only the master chef in the kitchen was left, keeping the lid on the pot tightly without seeing it.
Then he added a handful of firewood, found the purchase ledger, and wrote down something on it.
"The kitchen needs to purchase a set of large pots."
Even if he were allowed to continue using this thing, he wouldn't dare. What if it ruined everyone's stomach?
Alas, ordinary chefs will not understand the troubles of having a famous doctor as your master!
After coming out of the kitchen, the two people carefully carried the concoction that night into the pharmacy.
Wen Jing had already cleared out a small area, and there were only two things there. One was a silver-white bone of some animal, and the other was skin in the shape of fish scales.
Lin Mengya placed the bowl of medicine next to the two things.
"Okay, now we have to see if this medicine has any effect on the dragon's bones and skin."
She was a little nervous.
To be honest, I don't have much confidence either.
But before they left, Lin Mengya also learned about the various habits of the dragon in detail with Granny Yinhua.
Although this kind of animal looks very powerful, there is no invincible existence in the world. If it is, it is just because the key point that can destroy it has not been found yet.
Fortunately, Granny Yinhua said that the reason why these dragons appear when the Flame Iron appears is because they need the help of the Flame Iron to shed their skin.
The reason why dragons are so powerful is that they need to burn themselves to pieces with burning iron first.
Then the old dragon skin will fall off and new skin will grow back.
And it will gradually turn from silvery white to black at the beginning, and finally pure black will become the Dragon King.
But even if they are dragon kings, they still need flame iron to help them shed their skin.
So Lin Mengya was wondering, is it because of the heat of the flaming iron, or because the flaming iron itself has an effect on the dragon skin?
So, she took the opportunity to ask for some things and wanted to experiment.
As a result, she discovered that the so-called "fire iron" was not a simple mineral, but some kind of mixture.
Generally, they only needed certain parts of the flame iron, so Lin Mengya conducted many experiments.
As a result, she discovered that something in Yantie could indeed interact with dragon skin.
And it just so happens that there is such a record in the Qing Zheng Pu - "The sand in the swirling water can eat bones, but it will not rot vegetation."
So Lin Mengya configured the "Whirlpool Sand" according to the records in the book.
But she had no idea when she first configured this thing, because according to the Qingzheng manual, this thing could corrode bones, but leaves vegetation unharmed.
Coupled with the special effect of Yantie on Jiaolong, she had to doubt the authenticity of this prescription.
However, even if they are anxious now, there is nothing they can do, so they can only treat the situation like a dead horse.
Looking at the dark stuff in the bowl, Lin Mengya took a deep breath and said to Wen Jing, "Doctor Wen, are you ready?"
Doctor Wen nodded and made an "ok" gesture to her.
Fine!
Doctor Wen finally asked her to be brought out.
Lin Mengya put on gut gloves. Because they didn't know how corrosive the concoction was to the gloves, they used wooden utensils.
Now it seems that it really doesn't respond to wood.
Wen Jing carefully laid the piece of dragon skin on the wooden board. Lin Mengya scooped up some concoction and carefully poured it on the piece of dragon skin.
Then!
They saw a magical scene.
This piece of dragon skin has not been processed and has been air-dried for so many years. It is as hard as a piece of salted fish that has been dried for decades.
but!
As the medicinal juice invaded, the dragon skin began to become soft quickly, then became extremely thin, and finally, it actually fell apart!
Neither of them dared to breathe heavily for fear of affecting the results of this experiment.
Who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary concoction would have such a great effect on such a hard dragon skin?
If he hadn't seen this with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed it in his dreams.
"Well, let's try that bone again."
Lin Mengya also suppressed her excitement.
This bone was not given by Tiexinlian
Hers, like the dragon skin, was obtained from Granny Yinhua.
This piece of bone was very small compared to the one Tie Xinlian gave her. In fact, it was only the length of an index finger, so it probably couldn't be used as a weapon.
This time, Lin Mengya directly picked up the bones and reached into the bowl containing the concoction.
This time, it was because the bones were relatively hard, so Lin Mengya could only see the medicinal juice clinging to the surface of the bones bubbling.
This kind of bubble is very small, and it is really easy to miss it if you don't look carefully.
She immediately took out the bones and rinsed them with water.
There is not much change on the surface, just the color becomes slightly lighter.
Lin Mengya took out her secret weapon - a magnifying glass!
That’s right!
Although microscopes still have technical barriers, magnifying glasses have long been successful.
Wen Jing was surprised when he saw this thing for the first time.
Now I am very proficient in using it.
Lin Mengya placed the bones on a wooden plate and looked carefully with a magnifying glass. Only then did she find that many very small holes had appeared on the bones.
Phew! It was hard for her to control her excitement.
"Doctor Wen, did you, did you see that?"
Doctor Wen was also staring closely at the magnifying glass, his face full of surprise at this moment.
"How could this be so? Master Gong, this is too miraculous!"
While the two people were exclaiming, the boat suddenly shook.
Although it is a large ship, such shaking is within the normal and acceptable range.
However, due to the suddenness and the two people's excitement, the concoction accidentally fell into their hands.
The next moment, their expressions changed slightly, and they did not dare to move.
Thousands of thoughts were running through their minds. Finally, the two decided that if there was really a problem, they would endure the pain and record all the data.
But--
"Well, Master Gong, do you feel anything now?"
Cold sweat broke out on Wen Jing's forehead, but he still stood there and did not dare to move.
Lin Mengya shook her head and said softly, "I don't feel anything at all."
"Well, I seem to be like that too."
"So?" Lin Mengya looked at Wen Jing, who looked at most of the bowl that had been spilled?
"How about giving it another try?" Wen Jing suggested.
Lin Mengya: "Well, you can give it a try, but what should you use?"
Wen Jing looked around, and finally thought of the gut gloves the two of them were still wearing.
