Chapter 53 Annalise’s Ultimate Skill

After Abigail ran away, Julian reached out and took Annalise’s waist. Julian then apologized to her, “I shou have come over quickly.”

Annalise smiled. “It’s fine. I’ve picked my cabbages.”

It was just Abigail. In her eyes, the other girl was just a clown. She did not take Abigial seriously at all. Someone she didn’t care about couldn’t harm her after all.

Julian was there. If he didn’t come, she would rail Abigail with words so hard that the latter would regret being born.

Annalise saw Abigail to be just a cheap slut. It was only a matter of whether Annalise wanted to get serious “Alright, do you want to pick anything else?” Julian squatted down and placed Annalise’s vegetables into thi basket.

“Hmm, I want to pick four or five types of vegetables. Is that too much?” Annalise asked.

Julian smiled. “Not so. Pick whatever you like.”

“Why thank you indeed.” Annalise immediately went to pick the cucumber.

“Be careful, there are thorns. There are also burrs on the vines,” Julian said.

Annalise laughed again. “Have you forgotten that I grew up in the countryside?”

She had been doing farm work like picking vegetables before she was even 10 years old.

Julian said gently, “Focus and be careful.”

Annalise picked cucumbers and eggplants, then she went to pick chili.

He asked Julian, “Do you like spicy food?”

Julian shook his head. “Not really.”

“Then I won’t pick the hard stuff. Let’s go. That’s enough.” Annalise picked a handful of peppers and was very satisfied.

After returning to the villa, Annalise handed the vegetables to the servant. She asked Julian, “Is there a place suitable for burning firewood here?”

Julian raised his eyebrows with interest. “You want to cook with firewood?”

“No, just tell me. Is there such a place?” Annalise asked,

“We can burn anywhere,” Julian said with a smile.

Julian really liked her all kinds of strange ideas. She was smart and cute.

Annalise’s appearance in his world had originally been a coincidence. It had been a split-second decision.

He was really gambling back then.

Now, he felt that she was like a reagent of some sort in his life, adding more color to his black and white, prim and proper life.

His mood also lightened up noticeably with the colorful colors.

“I want the kind that’s a little closed, the kind where no one can see,” Annalise gestured.

“We have somewhere like that.” Julian thought for a moment and smiled.

“Can you show me now?” Annalise asked again, sounding a little impatient.

The reason why her mentor, Joseph Quigley, was called the medical expert at the national level, was because his medical skills were too good. The man had saved countless people’s lives.

Others only knew that Joseph, the national-level medical expert, was unparalleled. Very few people knew that Joseph’s medical skills were brilliant because he had two ultimate skills.

One was the Murray’s 49 Needles, and the other was that he knew how to refine elixir pills.

Such skills were only recorded in ancient books, and they were real.

Her master had taken in seven disciples in his life, all of whom were famous doctors, scattered all over the country.

Annalise could be considered Joseph’s last disciple, because she spent the most time around him, and because she was young, she could be considered Joseph’s most favored disciple.

Refining pills had more techniques than brewing traditional medicine, which none of her senior brothers and sisters managed to master. He hoped that she could learn it well.

Perhaps she was born with talent in medicine, or perhaps it was because she was young and had a strong ability to accept things. After Joseph taught her a dozen times at the art, she mastered the essence of refining pills.

Three years ago, Joseph said that the pills she refined were better than his own, and had purer medicinal properties.

In a situation like that of Old Mr. Parks’s, taking traditional medicine would also be effective, but it would be more convenient to refine pills and the effects would be better.

Julian looked at Annalise’s expectant face and reached out to her. “Let’s go.”

Annalise was in a hurry to see the venue, so she just handed her hand to Julian.

Julian took Annalise to a squat-looking house at the back.

The house was a small one. There was a hall in the small house and a kitchen at the back. There were rooms on both sides of the hall.

The house looked very old, but it was relatively clean inside. She figured that someone must have cleaned it often.

Concrete floor, concrete stove.

Annalise checked the stove.

He bent down to look at the fire below. After looking around, she felt that the stove was adequate enough.

“You really want to eat firewood cooking so bad? I’ll get the servants to make it for you.” Julian said. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Annalise shook his head. “No, I want to brew medicine for your grandpa personally. If you use my method, the effect will be better. It’s just that it will take a long time and I also want absolute silence.”

Julian’s heart warmed. “I’ll make sure the environment is absolutely quiet. Just tell me what else would you need.”

“How are the lights here?” Annalise looked around. When she saw a switch on the wall, she pressed it.

The lights came on. She looked at the fluorescent tubes and was satisfied.

She then said, “Then I’ll come over tonight.”

“Alright, I’ll come and help you out then,” Julian said.

‘No need. Just keep an eye out for me. Do you have a grill at home?” Annalise asked again.

“Yes,” Julian said.

That was a small matter. Even if he didn’t have it, he would immediately get someone to buy it.

“That’s good. Did you get someone to get seven prescriptions that I gave you?” Annalise asked again.

Julian nodded. “Yes, we got all seven. Don’t worry, a reliable person is in charge of brewing the medicine. The prescription won’t be leaked.”

“Let’s bring the remaining six sets of medicine over tonight. I want to use them,” Annalise said.

“Okay,” Julian replied.

Annalise added, “I need a lot of firewood. The firewood can’t be wet, as wet firewood produces a lot of smoke. I also need a traditional big medicine jar and a big clay pot.”

“Okay, okay.” Julian was a little excited when he thought of Annalise personally brewing the medicine and how Samuel’s illness would recover faster.

After the two of them went back, Annalise went to the kitchen. She had her way with words and called the servants sisters.

The servants were flattered and were very enthusiastic about Annalise.

She was a favorite recognized by both Julian and Samuel. They couldn’t possibly be rash with her.

Annalise said that she wanted to barbecue tonight and wanted a few of the servants to prepare some barbecue ingredients for her.

When the servants heard this, they immediately agreed. “Alright, sure. We’ll prepare it. What about portions?” “Just enough for two,” Annalise said.

She thought of brewing the medicine while eating barbecue. Not only could she enjoy the delicious food, but she could also cover up well as well.

This was what Joseph had taught her.

That was also why no one knew that the pills that Joseph had refined for decades were made by him. Many people mistakenly thought that those were pills passed down from the ancestors of a large family. Of course, there were indeed some prestigious families that did have ancestral pills.

After dinner, Annalise took the initiative to say to Julian, “I’m full. Shall we go and take a walk?”

She actually wanted to take a look and see if the things were ready, and if those things were the ones she asked for.

Julian understood and smiled. “Let’s go!”
