Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Cold Ointment (2)
After Duan Yixin took away the plate of steamed buns, Sanshiqi felt a little regretful and touched his empty belly. He glanced at Jian Liu and wanted to say something, but he felt the cold aura coming from Jian Liu’s body and decided to shut up.

Back in the backyard, Duan Yixin showed Chi Xinru the small jar of cold ointment and said, “This is the cold ointment I made just now.”

Chi Xinru looked into the small jar and saw a snow-white smooth paste inside. When she smelled the chamomile fragrance in the cold ointment, she looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Xin Xin, will you sell this cold ointment?”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “I have this plan, but I need to test the effect of this cold ointment first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Xinru rolled up her sleeves, showed Duan Yixin her arms, and said, “You can try it on me.”

Duan Yixin looked at her arms, saw a few patches of red rashes, and asked, “When did you get the rash on your arm? Why didn’t you come to me to get medicine?”

Chi Xinru smiled and said, “This is nothing. Every year, many villagers develop rashes due to the hot weather. We are used to it.”

Looking at her smiling face, Duan Yixin sighed and said, “Skin irritation should not be taken lightly. In severe cases, it can even take your life.”

After saying that, she scooped up some cold ointment with her fingers and gently applied it to Chi Xinru’s red rash. The moment the cold ointment touched the inflamed skin, Chi Xinru’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Xin Xin, the ointment actually felt cold! I don’t feel pain or itching anymore! This is amazing!” Chi Xinru said, staring at her arm in disbelief.

Duan Yixin looked at her reaction, smiled, and said, “You probably haven’t forgotten the name of this ointment, right? It’s called cold ointment for a reason.”

Listening to her question, Chi Xinru grinned and said, “I see. No wonder people call it cold ointment.”

After applying the cold ointment thinly on Chi Xinru’s face, Duan Yixin closed the jar and said, “It will take a while before you can see the effect of the cold ointment.”

Chi Xinru nodded, her eyes falling on her arm as she stared at the red patches intently. A few minutes later, Duan Yixin saw that the red and swollen rash on Chi Xinru’s arm had become lighter.

She smiled and said, “The cold ointment worked.”

Hearing this, Chi Xinru also smiled and said, “Xin Xin, you are so awesome. You can even make a cold ointment. If you sold this cold ointment to Chang Shou Pharmacy, I bet they would pay a high price for it.”

Although the cold ointment was easy to make, Duan Yixin was still very happy to receive praise from her friends. She said sincerely, “Thank you for the compliment. I will make some more cold ointment today and take them to Chunshan Town to sell tomorrow.”

After speaking, she handed Chi Xinru the small jar of cold ointment and said, “Take this and apply it to your face and inflamed skin twice a day. After a few days, the rash will disappear, and you can apply the cold ointment once a day.”

“Thank you, Xin Xin. If you need help making cold ointments, let me know. I will help you after helping the workers prepare meals.” Chi Xinru did not refuse and took the cold ointment. When leaving, she happily waved to Duan Yixin and left with light steps.

After seeing Chi Xinru off, Duan Yixin went to the woodshed to check on the strawberry seeds and Chinese cabbage. Entering the woodshed, she first checked the wooden bucket. Seeing that only half of the water was left, she filled it up with the water she had prepared before and added more nutrient solution to the mixed water.

After that, she walked over to the wooden table and examined the strawberry seeds. Seeing that some seeds had sprouted, she decided to plant them in the remaining wooden buckets filled with mixed soil.

Duan Yixin carefully buried the strawberry seeds into the soil with a tweezer and then set up a bamboo pipe to let the water drip into the soil. After making sure everything was arranged as she wanted, she left the woodshed.

Coming out from the woodshed, Duan Yixin sat on a low stool in the backyard and made more cold ointment. Since the ointment’s effect was very good, she decided to make more in case many people wanted to buy it.

While she was busy in the backyard, Chi Xinru had already arrived at her house. She saw her father and mother talking about the workers’ meals in the front yard and said, “Father, Mother, I’m back.”

Chi Junheng saw her walking in and asked, “What did Xin Xin say? When will she want to start cleaning up the farmland?”

“Xin Xin said it’s best to start as soon as possible because she needs to start planting in the next few days. Otherwise, it will be too late.” Chi Xinru replied while closing the low gate.

Upon hearing this, Madam Chi smiled and said, “That’s good. Ru’er, it’s time for us to prepare the meal.”

Chi Xinru nodded and asked, “Father, do you know where Xin Xin’s farm is?”

Chi Junheng said, “Yes. I asked the village chief yesterday when I went to his house to inquire about the workers. Thanks to his help, we can hire villagers at cheaper wages.”

After listening to her father’s words, Chi Xinru said, “Then we will go deliver breakfast after we prepare the meal.”

Chi Junheng patted his daughter’s head gently and said, “All right. You should go and get busy.”

Just when Chi Xinru and Madam Chi went to the kitchen, Chi Xiyou came back from checking the traps in the forest.

Chi Xiyou walked in with a bamboo basket on his back and asked, “Father, when are we going to Xin Xin’s farm?”
