Bab 389: Chores

"Yeah. Do you know what it is?"

"It should be a sheep's testicles."

"A sheep's testicles?"

"Yeah. It's like bezoar, Ma Bao, and the stone of a dog's gallbladder, kidney or bladder. It's a kind of stone in a sheep's body. It can be used as medicine. It's considered to be a valuable Chinese medicinal herb," Wang Yao explained.

"Is it very expensive?"

"Yes. It's extremely rare. You may not even be able to get one even if you kill 10,000 sheep," Wang Yao replied.

Things like bezoar and the stone of a dog's gallbladder, kidney or bladder were somewhat common. However, the sheep's testicle was rarely heard of, so it was very valuable.

"What can a sheep's testicle do?" Zhang Xiuying asked.

"It can remove phlegm to relieve convulsion, clear away pathogenic heat and remove toxins. It can also treat symptoms such as epilepsy, delirium, and poisoning of malignant sores."
