Wen Qingcheng bought some rice wine and white vinegar, and also bought some braised food and pastries. She bought a lot of delicious food to take home.

"Mom, we're back." Wen Qingcheng jumped off the carriage, and Ye Xiuying came out of the house upon hearing the sound.

"Why did you take so long to come back? Are the results announced yet?" Ye Xiuying looked over expectantly. She had a vague feeling that her daughter could achieve success in everything she did.

"It's open. Not only did I pass, I also got first place." Wen Qingcheng ran over happily and hugged Ye Xiuying.

"Really? So, you are now a junior pharmacist?"

Wen Qingcheng took out the certificate she had just issued from her bag and waved it in front of Ye Xiuying. Ye Xiuying took it and was so happy that she couldn't help but say, "You really make mother proud. Our Wen family will rise from your generation. I will find a carpenter to make a beautiful frame for the certificate and put it on the table in the main hall."

Wen Qingcheng pursed her lips and smiled, "Hahaha, that's too exaggerated. The certificate needs to be framed and hung up, but not in the main room. This one has to be hung in the workshop in the backyard."

Wen Qingcheng was also very happy to be the daughter that Ye Xiuying was proud of. Mo Jinghong got out of the car and said with a smile: "Now, not only can you produce your donkey-hide gelatin, you are also qualified to make medicine."

"Yes, but I still want to specialize in one thing, so that I can invest less and do it better."

In fact, Wen Qingcheng had considered making medicines. She would definitely make medicines in the end. However, with the current equipment in the Great Qi Dynasty, it was impossible to replicate the medicines and dosage forms of her previous life. In her space, there were advanced instruments, but she could only produce them on a small scale, but could not achieve mass production in the pharmacy. This plan still needed to be considered in the long run. At present, the most important thing was to make donkey-hide gelatin first.

After lunch, Wen Qingcheng continued yesterday's process. Ah Xuan and Mo Jinghong built a simple stove in the backyard, took out the iron bucket that had been cleaned yesterday, poured water into it, and poured all the donkey skin soaked in the wooden barrel into the iron bucket, added water, and also rice wine, white vinegar, green onion and ginger to remove the odor.

"Miss Wen, how long will it take to cook? Let me get some more firewood." A Falcon asked.

"No, just blanch it in water, and then continue brushing the fur."

"Didn't we shave all the hair off yesterday?" Mo Jinghong asked. He was still thinking about watching the glue come out as soon as possible, and he should prepare to leave.

"No, there are still some fine hairs, which need to be removed. After blanching, scrape with a scraper or brush, and the hair roots can be removed as well."

Ye Xiuying said: "The initial cleaning alone is so troublesome. It's really not easy to make a pot of glue."

"Mom, go get a big colander."

When Ye Xiuying brought the large colander, Wen Qingcheng saw that the donkey skin was almost done, so she asked Ajun to take out the donkey skin and soak it in a basin of cold water.

Ye Xiuying simply carried Wen Yuxue out, spread a mat on the ground for her to sit on, and each family member brought a small stool, picked up a scraper, and started scraping the donkey skin piece by piece.

After blanching in water, the fluff is particularly easy to scrape off. After all of it has been scraped off, Wen Qingcheng takes the chopping board and kitchen knife and cuts the donkey skin into shreds.

Seeing Wen Qingcheng cut up all the donkey skin, Mo Jinghong smiled and said, "It looks like she's going to make pig skin jelly."

Ye Xiuying also laughed: "Yes, with peanuts, beans and seasonings, this donkey skin jelly will definitely taste good."

"Oh, the cleaning work is finally done." A Falcon seemed to be relieved. He was very tired in the past two days.

"Not yet."

Wen Qingcheng's words almost made Ajun collapse. He had been washing skin and shaving hair with one hand holding a sword for the past two days. He thought it would be tedious, but he didn't expect that just cleaning would be so tedious.

"It will be done soon. There is still a lot of grease on the donkey skin. If it is not removed, it will affect the taste." Wen Qingcheng turned to Ye Xiuying and said, "Mom, go get some flour and white vinegar."

When Ye Xiuying heard that flour was needed, she was a little confused, but she did as she was told and went to get it. Wen Qingcheng added clean water to the basin, put the shredded donkey skin into the basin, and poured all the white vinegar into it.

"Mom, pour all the flour in."

Ye Xiuying gasped and said in surprise: "You want to use flour to wash the donkey skin, isn't it all a waste?"

Ye Xiuying's face was full of reluctance. She had experienced hunger before, so she cherished food very much. Even though her life was better now, she was still reluctant to waste any grain of food.

"Mom, we add flour to make it clean so that the glue will be of good quality."

"Oh, I really don't want to use flour to wash."

"It's okay. I don't use much. Just pour a little."

Ye Xiuying handed the cloth bag filled with flour to Wen Qingcheng. Wen Qingcheng sprinkled some flour on it and began to rub it in the water. After washing it about five or six times, the water became clear and the cleaning process was completed.

Wen Qingcheng stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, "The cleaning work is done, and I can finally boil the glue!"

Ah Falcon was delighted, and Mo Jinghong was also looking forward to it. "I'm really looking forward to what the first batch of Wen's donkey-hide gelatin from the Great Qi Dynasty will look like. By the time you produce the gelatin, I should be back in Kyoto."

"Oh." Wen Qingcheng's mood instantly dropped. She had to endure the pain of separation again.

She had known for a long time that Mo Jinghong would not stay here for long. He did not belong here, nor did he belong to her. They would be separated sooner or later. But when that day finally came, her heart felt like it was broken.

Mo Jinghong was disappointed when he saw Wen Qingcheng's indifferent response. She had passed the junior pharmacist exam and was going to start her own donkey-hide gelatin workshop. She would not go back to Kyoto with him...

Ye Xiuying was reluctant to leave, and she held Mo Jinghong's hand, "Chuyi, you really have to leave. I know you have your own business and your own family, and I can't keep you even if I want to. Come back and stay here often, this will always be your home."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little low, Ah Falcon quickly changed the subject: "Miss Wen, how long does it take to cook this, and how long does it take for the glue to come out?"

"It takes two days and two nights to boil it, and you have to stir, filter, and skim off the foam during the process."

Wen Qingcheng originally wanted to say that it would take two months to dry the glue and turn it over every three or four days. It was impossible for Mo Jinghong to stay here for two days. However, if it was placed in the space, it could be done in a short time.

There are also four seasons in the space, and one season goes through every few days. So if you put the boiled donkey-hide gelatin into the space, it only takes one or two days to achieve the same effect as drying it outside for two months.

"Mom, we are going to make glue next, we need to prepare everything."

As Wen Qingcheng spoke, Ye Xiuying noted with her fingers. As the cooking would take a long time, firewood was definitely needed, so Axuan went to chop a lot of firewood.

"Brother Mo, can you help me take out the big pot from the woodshed and clean it?" Wen Qingcheng actually wanted to send Mo Jinghong away on purpose.
