After three failed attempts, Su Wen had finally mastered the details.
He carefully poured the salve that had naturally cooled and decreased in temperature from the pressure cooker, then dissolved it in an appropriate amount of distilled water and filtered it through a fine mesh.
After filtering three times, all the wood chips and medicinal residue in the medicinal essence were completely removed.
Su Wen cleaned the pressure cooker and poured the dissolved medicinal essence back into the pot.
This time, the simmering time was even longer, but Su Wen wasn't worried about failing.
At this point, all he needed to do was to reduce the moisture content of the medicinal essence to a suitable proportion before he could start adding a coagulant to make the pills.
Dinner had already been prepared early, and when Su Wen arrived at the dining room, everyone looked his way without prior arrangement.
"How did it go, Su Wen, did you succeed?"
