Yun Jiao obediently took Ah Hu to stroll elsewhere.
After walking for a while, they saw a plump aunt sitting on a chair cutting medicine with a guillotine.
Yun Jiao took a glance, and the medicine the aunt was cutting was betel nut.
That is, the fruit inside the betel nut.
This is widely acknowledged as the hardest kind of medicine to cut. Betel nut is inherently hard, small, and round, making it easy to either miss the slice or cut your hand if not careful.
At first, Yun Jiao didn't think much as she watched the aunt cutting the medicine. But when the aunt finished one and reached into a bucket on the ground to fetch another to continue cutting,
Yun Jiao's eyebrows quickly furrowed. The bucket was filled with water, and the water had changed color.
Some medicinal ingredients are hard to cut, so soaking them in water to soften them before cutting is a common practice.
But this medicine should not be soaked like this!
