Yuan Si walked into the room and was immediately captivated by the glass jars on the curio shelf.
Uncle Yang noticed, of course, and took the initiative to introduce them. "Heh heh, please excuse the humble sight. Other people like collecting antiques or calligraphy, but an old man like me who prepares medicinal herbs all day prefers to steep medicinal wines. This is my collection from over the years."
Speaking of his passion, the old man became quite enthusiastic and began introducing the collection to the mother-daughter pair one by one. "This is Five Snake Wine. Inside are a five-step snake, a Cobra, a Golden Ring Snake, a Silver Ring Snake, and a Viper. They are all highly venomous. The snake lends its power to the wine, and the wine enhances the snake's potency. The two combined can treat stubborn ailments like rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, and other joint pains."
Yuan Si peered at the snakes steeping inside. It seemed she had seen two of those species in the mountains.
