Liu Chan continued to add salt into the wooden basin. Gradually, the water in the wooden basin began to cool down. A gust of cold air hit her face. Mrs. Gan also felt this cold air and could not help but look at each other.
He could really make ice?
After another fifteen minutes, the water in the porcelain jar began to freeze, and a thin layer of ice covered the surface.
Liu Chan smiled." Mother, do you see? It's already frozen. You can drink it in a while."
The iced melon juice is delicious."
Liu Chan poured a cup for each of Mrs. Gan, and Xiao Qing and Xiao Shui looked on with eager eyes. Liu Chan naturally wouldn't mistreat the two little girls.
"Young Master, this kind of method is simply like a god. Can I still eat Young Master's cooking in the future?”Xiaoqing asked worriedly.
"You just want to eat. In the future, you can eat as much as you want!”Liu Chan scolded with a smile.
Mrs. Gan was surprised by Liu Chan's methods, but she was not so shocked that it was a miracle. She said to Liu Chan,""Ah Dou, your father is suffering at the front line. When your father comes back, remember to show him respect.”
Liu Chan nodded. By the way, is our family short of money?"
Madam Gan smiled and said," We need money to fight wars, raise troops, and govern places. Of course we need money.”
"Mother, do you have any ideas?" Liu Chan smiled at Mrs. Gan.
Madam Gan and Madam Mo came from similar backgrounds. They were both born into merchant families and had been influenced by them since they were young. Their business talents were definitely not bad.
"Ah Dou, do you mean to open a shop and sell ice products?”Mrs. Gan didn't need Liu Chan's advice at all. She could see the business opportunity at a glance.
"That's right. The summer is hot, and everyone wants to eat a mouthful of ice to cool off. The business opportunities are huge. Just Jing Prefecture alone is enough for us to earn a lot of money, not to mention the world is so big.”Liu Chan said.
When Mrs. Gan thought of this, she immediately became excited and said,"This matter is feasible. If it's laid out, it's enough to earn tens of millions in a summer.”
Liu Chan thought to himself, Ten million? They had underestimated the people's yearning for ice in summer. One summer would earn at least 100 million yuan.
"I'll get Xiao Qing and Xiao Shui to give the recipe to Mother later.”
With Mrs. Gan around, Liu Chan did not have to worry about opening a shop. With Liu Bei's strength, he could easily open an ice shop in Jingzhou.
"Young Master, someone from Jiangling just said that Zhou Yu was shot in the chest and abdomen by an arrow when he was attacking the city. The arrow was poisoned and he is now seriously ill and bedridden.”The guard, Feng Xi, rushed over to report the news he had just received.
Liu Chan was amused when he heard that. It seemed that Cao Ren had become famous this time. He had stepped on Zhou Yu to achieve the title of Heavenly Cao. Liu Chan quickly asked Feng Xi,"Who invited you?"
"Lu Meng."
"Since he's the envoy from River East, let's go and meet him." Madam Gan stood up.”
Liu Bei was not at home, and Liu Chan was still young. Naturally, as the mistress of the Left General's Mansion, Madam Gan was in charge of receiving guests. The women of the Han Dynasty were determined and strong, and the men were out on expeditions. No matter how hard it was, they had to take care of the family. The status of women in this era was very high.
Liu Chan followed Mrs. Gan to the living room. Lu Meng was standing there waiting to be received.
Lu Meng's first stop in the Public Security Bureau was to visit Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang could not make a decision on Zhang Ji's matter, so he only asked him to come to the Left General's Mansion.
After Lu Meng and Lady Gan greeted each other, they explained why they had invited Zhang Ji to treat Zhou Yu's injuries.
Liu Chan said to Lu Meng," My master is in seclusion. My senior sister and I can't see him. I'm afraid you won't be able to invite him."”
"Human lives are at stake. Please introduce us, Madam and Young Master Chan." Lu Meng bowed.”
"No problem," Liu Chan said."I'll take you there now."”
A month ago, Liu Chan had brought Zhang Ji and Zhang Yan back to the Public Security Bureau and wanted to acknowledge Zhang Ji as his master. After receiving this news, Liu Bei had specially rushed back from Jiangling to host Liu Chan's ceremony.
The reason why Liu Bei valued Zhang Ji so much was because Zhang Ji had a reputation in Jingzhou, because Zhang Ji had served as the prefect of Changsha and had been a doctor who had helped the people.
Therefore, Zhang Ji's reputation was admired and praised by both the upper class scholars and the lower class people.
A famous person had accepted his son as a disciple, and he was the only disciple. As the father, Liu Bei, it would be unreasonable if he did not show up.
Moreover, Zhang Ji had saved his wife. It was just a river away. If Liu Bei did not show up, people would gossip about him.
"Here, my master lives here.”Outside of Public Security City, there was a quiet villa. The door was tightly shut, and the fallen leaves in front of the door covered the ground. Liu Chan and Lu Meng stepped on the fallen leaves and arrived at the courtyard.
"Other than the two servants who are in charge of my master's daily life, there are only three people in there. My master specially told us not to disturb him.”Liu Chan said.
"Why is Divine Doctor Zhang staying in this remote place?" Lu Meng asked helplessly.”
After Liu Chan gave Zhang Ji the booklet on medical knowledge, Zhang Ji had already fallen into a state of madness. After giving Mrs. Gan a prescription, he took the booklet and moved into this courtyard. He wanted to verify everything written in Liu Chan's booklet. With the support of money and resources, Zhang Ji wanted to write all his medical books on paper so that they could be passed down to future generations.
"I'm writing a book and doing some research.”Liu Chan said.
"Please inform me, Young Master Chan."
Liu Chan knocked on the door. After a long time, an old man in a servant's uniform came to open the door.
Walking into the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was also covered in fallen leaves. He followed the servant all the way to Zhang Ji's residence in the backyard.
The backyard was very clean, but the medicinal herbs that were turned over and dried could be seen everywhere. As soon as they walked in, there was a rich medicinal fragrance.
Zhang Ji was squatting under the shade of a tree, looking at the rabbit in the cage. He held a small bamboo stick in his hand. When he saw Liu Chan, he said a little gloomily,""The first step of anesthesia for the surgery you wrote in your booklet is very difficult to solve. According to what you said, a small amount of tetrodotoxin can kill a rabbit even if it's just a little bit. He had to find a less toxic medicine to replace it.”
"Hua Tuo has already developed Mafeisan. Who knows when he might use Mafeisan for craniotomy? You have to work hard.”Liu Chan said deliberately.
Hearing this, Zhang Ji sighed and said,""It's a pity that I don't have much time left. Just one of the things you gave me confused me. I'm afraid it's impossible to study it thoroughly and write it into medical books in this lifetime.”
"So, Master, you have to cherish every minute. By the way, there's a man called Lu Meng outside who wants to invite you to Jiangling to treat Zhou Yu's arrow wound. Are you going?”Liu Chan asked.
Zhang Ji stared at the rabbit, which had stopped moving after kicking its legs a few times. He didn't even raise his head."No, an arrow wound can be treated by any military physician. Why do you want me to go? And who is Zhou Yu?"
"The one who chased Cao Cao away with a torch at Red Cliff.”Liu Chan reminded.
"Oh, him. I'm not going." Zhang Ji suddenly realized.
"However, it's hard to refuse such kindness. He came over and almost kowtowed to you. How about this? Anyway, it's just an arrow wound. Senior Sister and I will go.”Liu Chan suggested.
"I asked you to identify the medicinal herbs. How's it going?" asked Zhang Ji.”
"I know everything that Senior Sister can recognize, and I've almost memorized the medicinal principles.”Liu Chan said.
"You have to memorize it thoroughly. If you don't remember the pharmacology clearly, you will die.
Hurry up and leave. After you memorize it, let your senior sister teach you other things.”Zhang Ji waved his hand impatiently.
"Oh right, call a few people over to help me copy it in a few days.”Zhang Ji said to Liu Chan's back.
"Master, have you thought of a name for the medical book?" Liu Chan turned around.”
"No, I haven't."
"What do you think of 'Various Typhoid Pathology'?”
