Chapter 25 Sanjiu Weitai In the afternoon, Gu Chan and the other two left the forest together. Walking on the mountain road back home, Zhao Erniu looked at the basket of warm belly grass that Ma Zheng was carrying, and asked in confusion, "Why did you pick this basket of herbs?" "You don't understand this! Your cow can't eat white silk grass at all. It has to eat this belly-warming grass to cure its disease." Gu Chan was calm. Zhao Erniu stared at her with disbelief written all over his face. He thought that Gu Chan and the others couldn't find the white silk grass, so they deliberately used this herb as a substitute. If it had been before, he would have been furious and scolded Gu Chan and the other two, but because Gu Chan had saved his life by the lake before, he was now very polite to them and did not scold them. Gu Chan didn't want to say more, she just said to herself, "I'll be home soon, you just need to take care of it. If you can't cure the cow, I'll write my name backwards." Zhao Erniu and Ma Zheng both looked at Gu Chan at a loss. After dark, the three of them rushed back to Jiuyang Village. Arriving at Zhao Erniu's house, before Gu Chan could feed the calf the herbs, Li rushed up and started to scold him, "Look at what you picked. Didn't I ask you to pick white silk grass? You brought these useless herbs back. Do you want to kill my cow?"
"Okay, stop talking. He saved my life in the forest today. Please give me some face and let her treat the cow." Zhao Erniu stopped Li in time. As he spoke, he took off the bag full of green worms hanging from his waist and handed it to Li, "Hurry up and fry them. Make them fragrant. Let them have dinner with us tonight." "What? Are you crazy? They can eat rice?" "Go quickly. If you keep talking nonsense, I will make you pay." Zhao Erniu frowned and roared. Li was so frightened that her face turned pale and she dared not say anything more. After giving Gu Chan and the other two a blank look, she pouted and went to the stove carrying a bag of caterpillars. Zhao Erniu said to Gu Chan, "Don't be surprised, this is just her nature. She is not a bad person. You can treat her however you want, but just don't kill her." "Don't worry, if you can kill it, I will compensate you with two hundred taels of silver." Gu Chan patted his chest with confidence. Zhao Erniu nodded quietly, walked aside and sat down to rest. Gu Chan pulled Ma Zheng to the cowshed, dug a hole in a spot, and poured all the warm belly grass in the backpack into the hole. She said to Ma Zheng, "Go find a stick and hammer it hard until all the warm belly grass is broken into pieces and can be formed into a ball." "Boss, why don't you feed it directly to the cows?" Ma Zheng wondered. "Do you still want to make money? If you do, do as I say." Gu Chan suddenly said this. Ma Zheng instantly became alert and quickly ran to the firewood pile outside. He picked up a thick wooden stick and brought it in. He began to hammer the belly-warming grass in the pit as Gu Chan had said. Zhao Erniu sat in the yard, looking confused, and had no idea what Gu Chan was going to do. After an incense stick of time, Gu Chan and Ma Zheng both beat the man to a pulp. At this time, the belly-warming grass in the pit had already been hammered into a blood-red medicinal paste by the two men. Gu Chan squatted down at the edge of the pit, stretched out her hands and scooped out some medicinal mud, and began to rub it. After a while, she rubbed a handful of medicinal mud into a red pill the size of a baby's fist. Ma Zheng squatted beside her and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?" "I'm rolling pills! These pills can not only cure cow diseases, but can also be sold." "What is the name of these pills?" Ma Zheng asked.
Gu Chan blinked her eyes and thought about it. Suddenly, she had an idea and smiled, "Let's call it 'Sanjiu Weitai'. After taking this medicine, your stomach will hurt, and everything you eat will taste better." "Sanjiu Weitai? What a strange name! I've never heard of it." Ma Zheng scratched his head, feeling really strange. "It's strange that you've heard of it." Gu Chan laughed. Ignoring Ma Zheng, she put the rolled pills on the ground to dry and continued rolling them. Ma Zheng also followed her example and started rolling the pills. Before long, the two of them had rolled all the medicinal mud into red pills and piled them on the ground beside them. Gu Chan stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and looked at Zhao Erniu, "Come on! Open the cowshed, I'll go in and feed it Sanjiu Weitai." "Is this Sanjiu Weitai pill really effective?" Zhao Erniu was half-believing, but he still walked over patiently and opened the cowshed. Gu Chan didn't explain. She just reached out and picked up a handful of meatballs, ran into the cowshed, and stood in front of the calf. The calf was in so much pain that he didn't care about what Gu Chan said. He immediately opened his mouth and let her feed him the red pills. At the same time, Gu Chan secretly took out some spiritual energy from her body, injected it into the calf's body, and used it with the pills to treat its gastric ulcer. With the help of the pills and the assistance of spiritual energy, in less than five minutes, the calf miraculously stood up from the ground, walked to the trough, and began to eat grass. "Oh my God! This Sanjiu Weitai is amazing! Wife, come and see, our calf is eating grass, it's really eating grass!" Zhao Erniu was standing outside the cowshed, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but excitedly shout to Li who was standing in front of the stove. Li put down the spatula and ran over quickly. She was also shocked. "No way? He hasn't eaten grass for two days since I bought it. After taking your pill, he actually ate grass. How is this possible?" "I tell you, you should promote these Sanjiu Weitai pills in the village. Once they become well-known, they will be valuable." Gu Chan pointed at the pile of pills left on the ground and gave a sly reminder. Zhao Erniu was so happy that he quickly took a dustpan and carefully put the pills in it. Li changed her sullen expression and smiled at Gu Chan, "So you can make animal medicine! It seems you learned some tricks from a veterinarian before, right?" "Veterinarian?" Gu Chan was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up. Yup! She can understand animal language, so why doesn't she become a veterinarian? Being a blacksmith is too tiring and is not suitable for a little girl like her. Maybe she can change her career to become a veterinarian in the future, and maybe she can earn more than being a blacksmith. This is a different approach. After realizing this, Gu Chan immediately calmed down and said to Li, "You guessed it all. You really deserve to be the wife of Master Erniu. You are really smart." "That's right. My eyesight is pretty good." Li said proudly. "Then go tell everyone in the village tomorrow that if anyone's poultry gets sick, come to me and I will definitely cure it. I will then teach you how to collect herbs and treat them, and I will give you a share of the money I make." Gu Chan began to lay bait. Li was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She was extremely enthusiastic towards her and dared not look down on her anymore. After all, in such a poor mountain village, craftsmen are generally extremely respected and loved.
