Chapter 797: Wonderful Idea, the Princess Wants to Ganoderma Lucidum
Facing the princess' sincere expression, Butler Zeng couldn't say no for a moment.
Yun Mujiu did what he said and did not give Butler Zeng a chance to shirk his responsibilities. He used a sharp scalpel to cut off half of the index finger-sized colorful Ganoderma lucidum.
It's not that she is stingy, but humans cannot consume too much of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, which are tonic herbs, at one time, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it and will overheat.
Then she divided the cut Ganoderma lucidum into two parts. Du Ziheng ground one part into powder, and she boiled the other part into soup in a clay pot.
Soon, Du Ziheng put down the pestle and stood up holding the mortar.
"Princess, it's all polished."
"Princess, the medicine is cooked enough." Fu Qian came into the room and reminded.
"Okay, Fu Qian, bring in the medicine." Yun Mujiu took over the mortar from Du Ziheng and poured the powder into a ceramic bowl.
There were some bottles and jars on the table, many of which were skin care ointments produced by Baihuayuan. Yun Mujiu, wearing a mask, gradually added various powders and liquids into the ceramic bowl.
Not long after, Fu Qian came in with a tray, and a rich fragrance wafted through the room.
Yun Mujiu said: "Butler Zeng, drink this bowl of Ganoderma Lucidum soup first."
Butler Zeng was timid. He didn't want to waste such a good thing.
Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Housekeeper Zeng. There are plenty of good things in the Night Palace."
She added: "Besides, I can see that you have been a little weak recently. If you fall down, who will take care of the affairs of the Night Palace? For us and for the Night Palace, it is most appropriate for you to drink some soup to recuperate your body."
Doctor Fu noticed that Butler Zeng's face was not very good, so he advised: "Old friend, just listen to the princess."
Du Ziheng, Fu Qian and Wei Bai also said something. Butler Zeng smiled helplessly and took the bowl of soup.
"Thank you, princess."
Housekeeper Zeng finished the soup in one breath. "This Lingzhi soup has a rich flavor and is refreshing. After drinking a bowl, one feels refreshed, as if one has more energy."
Yun Mujiu smiled faintly: "This shows that the Ganoderma lucidum is effective. Since Butler Zeng has taken the Ganoderma lucidum internally, now it's time to apply it externally."
Everyone was stunned, as they didn't understand what Yun Mujiu meant by "external application".
Yun Mujiu asked Butler Zeng to sit on a reclining chair with a backrest. "Take medicine internally to nourish your body, and apply externally to nourish your skin. I'll apply a cream containing Ganoderma lucidum powder on Butler Zeng."
Zeng Guanjia knew that Baihuayuan sold "facial masks" and heard that applying them on the face could achieve skin care effects. There was also a kind of plaster called "facial cream", which could achieve good skin care effects if applied on the face frequently and then washed with water.
Zeng half-lay down obediently, Yun Mujiu took a small spoon, scooped out the plaster one spoonful at a time, and then applied it on Zeng's face. Finally, he smoothed the plaster with the spoon handle so that it was evenly applied on Zeng's face.
Soon, Butler Zeng's face was covered with a thick layer of white powder, leaving only his eyes, nose and lips exposed.
"It's done. Just wait for a cup of tea."
While Butler Zeng was applying facial cream, Yun Mujiu planned to chat with everyone and talk about a brilliant idea of hers.
Looking at everyone, he added: "If this Ganoderma lucidum is so effective, maybe we can use it to great effect."
Wei Bai has always been a man of many clever ideas, but at this moment he didn't understand what Yun Mujiu meant.
"Princess, what other great effects can this Ganoderma lucidum have?"
"Yes. It has many benefits. It can not only benefit the people in the Night Palace, but also help more people in need."
Wei Bai understood what was going on, but the problem was - "Princess, we only have this one Ganoderma lucidum! Even if Duke Meng got some new Ganoderma lucidum, it would still be far from enough. This kind of rare thing must be extremely limited in quantity."
"That's right. And I also heard that the Ganoderma lucidum grows on cliffs and is very difficult to pick. In this way, the amount we can get is even more limited." Doctor Fu stroked his beard and added another difficult question.
"Doctor Fu is right." Du Ziheng thought Yun Mujiu's suggestion made sense, but they had to consider the reality. "Princess, please forgive me for adding one more thing. That is - this Ganoderma grows very slowly. If you pick one, you will lose one. It will become increasingly difficult for us to obtain Colorful Ganoderma in the future. Good Colorful Ganoderma needs to grow for more than a hundred years."
Yun Mujiu listened carefully to everyone's opinions and nodded.
"Everyone's considerations are very comprehensive, and I understand everyone's thoughts."
"However, I have some preliminary solutions to these problems."
Yun Mujiu looked at Wei Bai and said calmly, "As for the problem of limited number of Ganoderma lucidum, we can cultivate some colorful Ganoderma lucidum ourselves. In this way, we don't need to obtain Ganoderma lucidum from my grandfather. In this way, the problem of limited number of Ganoderma lucidum will be solved."
Wei Bo was simply stunned.
Yun Mujiu looked at Doctor Fu again and smiled faintly: "As for the problem of difficulty in obtaining and picking colorful Ganoderma lucidum, this is also easy to solve. I just said that we can try to grow it ourselves. Once we can successfully grow it on a large scale, there will be no need to have people pick Ganoderma lucidum in the deep mountains and cliffs of the southern border."
Doctor Fu was dumbfounded. Did he hear it right? Grow it yourself?
Yun Mujiu finally looked at Du Ziheng and said, "You are right. The top-level Ganoderma lucidum needs hundreds of years to grow, but ordinary patients don't need such old Ganoderma lucidum."
"Generally speaking, a Lingzhi that is a few years old is enough to solve most patients' problems. So we don't need to buy those colorful Lingzhi that are more than a hundred years old. Firstly, there is no need for it, and secondly, we don't have the conditions to buy so many high-standard goods."
Du Ziheng nodded heavily, and then uttered a puzzled sound. His doubts were exactly what Wei Bai, Doctor Fu and others were thinking.
The first question is: “Can we grow it?”
Colorful Ganoderma lucidum is a rare medicinal herb that can only be found in some deep mountains in the southern part of Zhongyue. It has strict requirements on the growing environment and cannot survive and grow in just any place.
Yun Mujiu understood everyone's concerns and said, "You can give it a try. I'm not completely sure about the specific effect yet."
"I analyzed these Ganoderma last night, and I remembered some information about Ganoderma growth that the prince told me. I thought I could try to replicate a suitable environment for Ganoderma growth."
"The most important thing is to slowly explore the specific growth conditions of this colorful Ganoderma lucidum, such as the requirements for water source, temperature, nutrients, etc."
"Okay, Princess." Du Ziheng and others understood Yun Mujiu's meaning, and then asked a second question.
"Princess, how do you plant it?"
This is the most critical issue. Some people grow Ganoderma lucidum in the suburbs of Beijing, but no one has successfully grown some rare varieties of Ganoderma lucidum...
