Chapter 61: Potion for treating scabies (1/2)

The potions class is still going on, and Snape is instructing everyone to make a potion that can treat scabies. After explaining how to configure the scabies potion, he divided the class into two groups and let everyone start to make the scabies potion.

Albert and Li Jordan are naturally grouped together. Who makes them at the same table?

”Let's read the steps a few times, and then start to make the potion for treating scabies, to avoid making mistakes in the preparation steps.” Albert reminded, ”As long as the steps are not wrong, the finished product will not differ too much from the book.”

The most feared thing about boiled pharmaceutical agents is to add herbs and stir them randomly.

Albert opened ”Magic Potion and Potion”, remembering the configuration of the potion for treating scabies, and he didn't care about Snape who was dragging the black cloak behind him.

After Snape left, Albert took out the medicines he needed from his medicine box: a few viper teeth, a pongo onion, some bundled dried nettles, a jar with horned slugs, and a few Root porcupine spines.

”You are responsible for cooking the horned slug. This thing will take at least 33 to 45 minutes.” Albert handed his tweezers to Lee Jordan.

”Okay, leave it to me.” Li Qiaodan had no objection. He took the tweezers that Albert had handed over and picked out the disgusting horned slug from the jar.

By the way, it takes 1 gallon to sell a can of this thing in a drugstore.

”Remember to clean it first. You don't need to put a lot of water in the crucible. Be careful to boil and overflow.” Albert added.

Then, he began to grind the snake teeth with a mortar. The book requires that the snake teeth be ground into a fine powder, which is a laborious task.

Compared to Albert's hands-on ability, other students are a bit scumbag.

Of course, this may have something to do with Albert raising his potion manufacturing to level 1.

Snape was still wandering in the classroom, watching the students call dry nettles and grind viper teeth. Almost all the students had been criticized, only Albert and George were spared.

After all, Snape couldn't find a place to criticize, except that their progress was slightly slower than the others.

”Next, call dry nettle.” Albert looked at Snape's away back, and reminded him in a low voice, ”Pay attention to the weight. Don't call it wrong.”

”OK.” Lee Jordan was in a good mood, and Snape didn't bother them.

Albert struggled to slice the Pongo onion into thin slices.

Half an hour later, Li Qiaodan reminded: ”The slug is boiled.”

Albert leaned in immediately and stabbed the horned slug with the glass tube. After making sure that it was completely boiled, he poured out the water in the cauldron, leaving the boiled horned slug.

After the ingredients are prepared, the only thing left is the potion to make a potion for treating scabies.

First, put the snake tooth powder into the crucible, stir slowly to mix it with water thoroughly, and the potion in the crucible will gradually turn dark blue.

”Is it dark blue?” Li Qiaodan leaned his head to see the color of the potion in the cauldron.

”It's dark blue.” Albert cleanly sliced ​​the Pongo onion into the crucible, and continued to heat it for about ten seconds. The potion gradually changed from dark blue to red as recorded in the book.

After the color did not change, the next step was to slowly sprinkle in the dried nettles and stir the potion to turn the color into pink.

”Continue to add a small spoonful of Flobber caterpillar slime, and then continue and stir, the medicine inside turns green.” Albert muttered the steps while operating. ”The next step is to add a tablespoon of stewed slugs and stir until the potion turns blue-green.”

After completing the previous step, Albert removed the crucible from the fire.

If you don't remove it from the fire, directly adding the porcupine thorn will cause the potion to fail directly. Snape also specially reminded everyone.

Albert took the two porcupine thorns that Li Jordan handed over, slowly put them into the cauldron, and then began to stir clockwise three times, making the original blue-green potion gradually turn blue.
