Nan Jiaojiao took several herbs from the storeroom, and then she didn't return to the villa. She asked the butler to find her a quiet place.
She happened to walk to the backyard and saw some medicinal plants growing there. Feeling eager to try her hand at something, Jiaojiao asked the butler how to care for them. After that, she headed to a small two-story western-style building on the west side.
It was said that this place was for Bo Qingshan to live in, but he didn't want to stay so far away and always stayed in the main villa to keep Old Lady company.
The Old Lady indulged him, so the place ended up vacant with no one living there, although it was cleaned daily.
It was the perfect spot for Nan Jiaojiao to grind her herbs.
To truly turn them into pills would take at least a week. Today, she only cut the herbs, laid them out to dry, ground what needed to be powdered and left the rest to boil in a pot.
Since it was for children to drink, Nan Jiaojiao deliberately made it sweet.
