After hollowing out the fifteen watermelons in the bamboo basket, the four imperial doctors no longer allowed the palace maids and eunuchs to intervene. They started filling the watermelon shells themselves, layer by layer with watermelon flesh and mirabilite, filling them while doubting, "Can this really make medicine?"
Even Imperial Doctor Liu couldn't help but laugh and said, "This medicine is truly strange and unusual."
Manbao replied, "Aren't many medicines in this world strange and unusual?"
Director Xiao laughed and said, "This is indeed one of the strangest of the strange, but it's not too extraordinary. You're still young now. When you grow up a bit more, you'll know that there are plenty of strange and unusual medicines and prescriptions in this world."
Manbao nodded.
