Capturing the Young Doctor's Heart: Mr. Big Shot Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 183: Preventive Treatment

She met Miss Cheney at a heritage exchange event, they only met once.

However, her grandpa was familiar with their family, how they became close was unclear to her, she just remembered Miss Cheney mentioning it casually.

After exchanging contacts, they started chatting about incense and aroma doctor topics. At that time, she was quite interested in incense, so she remembered her vividly.

Just.

There’s a problem at hand now; this year she wants to change her preventive plan.

So.

She went to the old doctor’s clinic to discuss it.

"Grandpa, let’s temporarily stop using the Yi Flowing Gold Powder. Its principle is similar to modern air disinfection methods, but the formula contains realgar which has arsenic sulfide, prolonged exposure can cause toxicity. Although we’ve always opened windows for ventilation after fumigation, this recipe needs improvement. I think replacing it with alcohol disinfection to inactivate germs would be more flexible, then using the Expel Epidemic God Recipe from the Ancient Formula Collection to assist with incense fumigation for prevention."

"What do you think?" Claire Prescott looked at that deep, tired face, awaiting his opinion.

The value of the Thousand Gold Prescription lies in the effective prescriptions gathered over nearly a thousand years after Cole during the Han and Jin dynasties. Simon Sagan believed that epidemics often spread through ’epidemic air’ and that a weak body’s vital energy makes it susceptible to external invasions.

Therefore, traditional medicine emphasizes environmental disinfection in epidemic prevention and also focuses on enhancing individual immunity.

Although Yi Flowing Gold Powder is temporarily discarded, modern medical disinfection serves as a substitute, utilizing fragrance to dispel filth, strengthening vital energy, and detoxifying dampness is permissible.

The old doctor thought carefully for a moment, nodded, and entrusted her with the task.

Upon getting approval, Claire gave herself a silent cheer.

The next day.

She took both the prescription and the required herbs, traveled to the address given by the incense heir.

Upon arrival, she found it was in a courtyard.

A middle-aged man in a suit waited at the entrance.

Seeing her get out of the car, he quickly came to greet her, stating that he’s the housekeeper, helping carry her things, his manners reflecting etiquette and education everywhere.

On the way in, the garden layout was especially elegant, visibly indicating this was a family with deep heritage.

Getting closer to Miss Cheney’s courtyard, she could smell a pure and elegant fragrance, feeling tranquil and profound.

Upon entering the room, there was a woman in a cheongsam and a little girl sitting at the massive long table.

This was a meticulously arranged Incense Room, books filled the shelves, with various delicate incense burners displayed on the counter, the table neatly laid out with various incense tools, and the orchid added a touch of tranquility to the entire space.

Seeing her, Sharon Cheney quickly got up to greet warmly, saying, "Claire, you’re here."

"Miss Cheney."

"Just call me Sister Sharon, no need for formality," Sharon Cheney said amiably, her aura giving off a transparent yet gentle feeling.

She then introduced, "This is my daughter, her nickname is Mia."

The little girl stood up politely, her voice sweetly calling her sister.

Claire smiled, "Mia, is that the sprout Mia?"

"Yes."

"The name sounds elegant, with a nice meaning."

Sharon invited her to sit, asked the housekeeper to brew a pot of tea for the guest, and brought over freshly baked flower pastries.

After some small talk.

Claire segued into the main topic, "Sister Sharon, I brought the herbs over; see if these can be used for the water-steaming fragrance method you mentioned."

Saying that.

She opened the lid of the herb cabinet.

Sharon glanced at the herbs on top, nodded in agreement, "Of course. We’re using Rory Donovan’s Non-smoke Fragrance Method, which disseminates molecules into the air through steaming. For fragrance therapy, the principle is the same." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Then, Sharon took her collected copy of Non-smoke Fragrance Method from the shelf and handed it to her, "I once consulted you on some pharmacological issues to see if the formula was reasonable, surprised that you’ve also started showing interest in incense."

Claire replied while flipping through the book, "Using incense for prevention is mainly based on traditional medicine theories of aromatic wet detoxification, inhibiting pathogenic microorganisms through volatilized medicinal components while enhancing the body’s vital energy to resist external invasions. However, doing all this is primarily to ensure the safety of Sinclair Apothecary’s staff and their families, but in case of infections, dialectical treatment is still necessary."

Sharon watched her appreciatively for a while, then took out an ancient incense burner from the cabinet, "With the prescription, let’s directly follow your formula; I’ll teach you how to make incense and use the burner."

"Okay."

With her in charge, Claire naturally felt at ease.

All sorts of incense tools were complete here.

The main work was grinding the herbs into powder, then mixing evenly with date paste – and the incense was considered done.

Finally, placing the blended incense onto an incense disk, steaming it over water.

A very simple yet meticulous operation, throughout the process, realizing the most crucial was the special incense burner.

Waited a moment.

Soon, an ethereal fragrance wafted invisibly.

Smelling it, Claire couldn’t help but exclaim, "This scent really smells different, fresher and nicer."

Sharon introduced, "Now we’re using charcoal heating, but I also have a more convenient electronic incense burner here, the incense created is the same, see which one you like, and you can take them home to use."

Claire glanced at the electronic incense burner and asked Sister Sharon to teach her how to use it.

After using it.

She found this electronic incense burner more convenient and safer to use.

However, she still wanted to test it further.

While waiting, she noticed Mia was no longer in the room.

Her gaze inadvertently fell on the incense on the counter, "Can I look at the incense you make?"

"Of course, see which one you’re interested in, I’ll light you a piece."

Then, Sharon led her to try several incenses.

Some made from ancient formulas, some created by this incense heir based on their understanding, and even incense mimicking pear blossom fragrance were available.

During the incense testing, two hours quietly passed.

Sharon said with a smile, "If you’re not in a hurry, I can try refining your given formula to see if it can be made more meaningful."

"Really?" Claire’s eyes shone looking at her.

"Yes, but you still need to review the formula."

"Okay, then I’ll wait for Sister Sharon’s good news."

"Alright."

Claire checked the electronic incense burner’s condition; after confirming the product’s feasibility, she asked, "Sister Sharon, where can I buy this electronic incense burner, I want to stock up."

"I produced some in bulk, all piled in the warehouse unsold." Sharon said helplessly, "Initially, I was optimistic about my own design product, but now everyone chases after Western fragrance diffusers, with low sales. You can take as much as you want, though unsold, quality assurance is definitely there."

Claire asserted, "No, Sister Sharon should sell it to me at market price, I want quite a number, can’t take them for free."

Sharon was silent for a while, didn’t argue much, eventually followed her idea, "Then I’ll give you a 20% discount, once you decide on the amount, I’ll have someone retrieve from the warehouse and deliver them to you."

"Alright, thank you."

Just as Claire was about to leave, Mia came running in, "Mama, sister, it’s lunchtime."

Claire hastily said, "Sister Sharon, I’ll have lunch at home, don’t bother you guys."

Sharon took her hand, "Have lunch at our place, my dad wants to see you too, don’t be polite just like home, my dad and your grandpa have a very good relationship, really don’t be formal."

Seeing her insist, Claire reluctantly agreed, "Okay."

Sharon led her to wash hands at the sink.

Walking along the path to the main hall.

Just stepping over the threshold, Claire’s gaze inadvertently met with a finely dressed old lady at the dining table; she paused slightly.

Though only having met once, she still recognized her.

Keane Lowell’s grandmother.

Never expected to encounter her here.
