I Thought About The Medicinal Wine
As Japan was overflowing with things, there were a lot of products that claimed to be good for you.
However, I had little interest in such things. I was too busy with work.
There were times when I tried some, in order to help recover from fatigue, but I never felt that they were very effective.
…But I was probably working so much that it wouldn’t have even mattered much if it was effective or not.
After all, there was no point if you didn’t take time to rest…
Regardless, the recovery herbs I took after coming to this world were different, because I could sense the difference immediately.
But they were made with the special ability that is Weed Cultivation… Though I still needed to rest.
…Now that I thought about it, the herbs were a lot like magic.
“Hmm. Fatigue recovery… I think that’s what the medicinal wine was supposed to do?”
I muttered, even though there was no one to hear me.
I didn’t know if it could be mixed with wine and be effective while not sacrificing the flavor, but it was worth trying.
“I should start with Ramogi. Right now, it’s important to remove the disease from it first.”
Even if we succeeded in making wine that had a healing effect, it would mean nothing if it was still the source of the disease.
As I thought about herbs, I made extra Ramogi for Ms. Helena to use.
“Hmm… Fatigue recovery, nutritional supplement, sleepiness…no, maybe not that one. Sleep was not something I should avoid. If anything, maybe making something would make you sleepy…like a sleeping pill? No, it could be too potent and dangerous.”
I thought, while I picked the Ramogi that I made.
“…Wait a minute? If it doesn’t have to be limited to just one…”
I processed the picked Ramogi and separated it from the stock that would be given to Nick.
…It was a good thing that no one was close by. I would look very suspicious as I muttered to myself .
“A nourishing tonic…or something to improve blood circulation… No, that shouldn’t be combined with alcohol.”
Perhaps it would be fine if you only drank a little. But in this world…people didn’t practice moderation when it came to such things.
Well, maybe they would listen if I told them. That would be a hassle.
For the people selling it, anyway.
“People who want to get drunk quickly might like it, but… I don’t want to do anything dangerous. In the first place, alcohol already improves your blood circulation…”
Maybe I would make medicinal wine for blood circulation that is drunk in small amounts one day, but not now.
First, I had to think of something that can be shipped in great quantities, for Range village.
“I suppose the ones I want are fatigue recovery, nutritional supplements and a restorative… With those three, you will be less likely to get sick.”
And if you didn’t get sick, then you wouldn’t need Ramogi or similar herbs.
Though, you couldn’t prevent people from getting sick completely, so there would still be demand.
“For fatigue recovery, I could use the herbs I already have. The problem is the other two… When it comes to nutrition, there are so many substances… How should I make them…”
Take in the nutrition and then something with a restorative effect.
And then you can make sure that the necessary nutrients are distributed through the entire body.
As I didn’t have much knowledge about it, I didn’t know how accurate this was. But it shouldn’t be too wrong.
But there were so many kinds of nutrients, and there were some that you couldn’t take too much of… So it was difficult.
“In general, people get nutrition from their meals… Protein and vitamins… Also, a little iron as well. But not too much. Just as a supplement…”
Kind of like those dietary supplement products.
They were merely things to take along with your regular meals to make up for any lack of nutrition.
And the restorative drink would ensure that everything was properly absorbed…I suppose.
If only I had a nutritionist certificate, I would be able to do a lot more.
But I didn’t have one, and have never studied stuff like that.
And I doubted there was any way to analyze the nutritional value in this world.
“All right, so the restorative and nutritional supplement herbs…”
Once I had gathered my thoughts together, I put my hands on the ground and activated Weed Cultivation.
After a few seconds, a plant started to grow.
I picked this plant and placed it in my palm. Then I activated Weed Cultivation again.
Now some of it was dried and turned to powder, while some was left alone. Now the processing is finished.
“Hmm… While this must be the restorative one…the other…”
The restorative herb looked a little like ashitaba.
While processing it, a yellow fluid had come out of the leaves and enveloped everything before drying.
Because it looked like a familiar plant, I had an idea of its effect…but what was it called in this world…?
Just like aloe was similar to Loe, this was also probably a more powerful version of it… I would have to ask Sebastian about it, or check one of the books.
In any case, onto the next one.
I had made several other herbs, but I didn’t know what effect they had.
As I had been thinking about a nutritional supplement, it should be a herb that was rich with nutrients… But since there were five, I didn’t know which one to use…
…I guess I would have to ask Sebastian about this as well…?
“In any case, that’s enough for now. I’ll take the Ramogi to Ms. Helena. And then she can test it.”
I picked up the herbs and made my way back to the mansion.
“Leo. I’m going to the kitchens now. You can stay here and play.”
“See you later, Mr. Takumi!”
“Hey, wa-wait a minute!”
I called to Leo and told the others I was going to the kitchen.
Mr. Ekenhart looked like he was asking for help… but he also seemed to be enjoying himself a little, so I left him be.
