Chu Qingzhi took a bit of each medicinal herb, wrapped it in mulberry leaves, and then performed some complex procedures. The final product looked almost identical to poppy, even the smell was similar.
Chu Qingning, repelled by the stench, took a step back, covering her nose. She asked, "Fifth Sister, what is this?"
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang waved their hands to clear the air. The smell was indeed unpleasant.
Chu Qingzhi explained, "This is a kind of medicine that, when burned, can refresh the mind and invigorate the body, similar to the tobacco my grandfather smokes."
The fake poppies had completely different effects. Smelling the aroma produced by burning these herbs would be beneficial to the body.
Chu Qingning trusted Chu Qingzhi and didn't press the issue further. "Fifth Sister, did you bring us here just to make this tobacco?"
