Chapter 1206 Things That Move (Fourth Update)

At night, the children suffer a lot and cannot sleep well, and the adults don't want to sleep well.

Fan the fan for a night, drive away the mosquitoes for a night.

But the next day, the children were still bitten all over their bodies, and their appetites dropped.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't sit still.

After a night of deliberation, the next morning, she took the old village doctor, Uncle Fu, and several members of the herbal collection team into the mountain together.

I set off with dry food in the morning, and didn't go back to the village until sunset.

Then, the green grass, leaves, and vines contained in a dozen or so bamboo baskets.

There are also yellow, white, all kinds of wild flowers that are famous or not, all of which appear in her house.

"Qing'er, what are you trying to mess with?"

Luo Fengtang came from the worker's house on the other side of the canal, and came directly to her room without taking a sip of tea.

"I heard that your herb-picking team entered the mountain today. Is this the result?"

He knelt down beside her and asked curiously.

Yang Ruoqing was squatting on the ground, burying her head in picking up the flowers and plants in the bamboo basket in front of her.

Hearing this, she said without raising her head: "Well, the purpose of going into the mountain today is to pick these!"

Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, then can you tell me, what are the flowers and plants in these baskets used for?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled, pointing to the flowers, plants and vines in the basket one by one, and introduced them to him one by one.

"This is mosquito repellent, this is peppermint, this is bay leaf, that is geranium..."

"Here, those baskets over there are all Chinese herbal medicines."

"These flowers and plants, I will refine their essence later to make toilet water to repel mosquitoes and relieve itching." She said.

Luo Fengtang's eyes lit up.

"Is that kind of toilet water similar to the wormwood and cattail sachet you gave me to wear during the Dragon Boat Festival?" He asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Smart, that's right!"

Then, she continued: "There are too many mosquitoes. The adults and children in the family were all bitten unbelievably."

"Wake up after sleeping, I can see that Mianmian has been bitten so fat."

"With this mosquito repellent, it will be much better!"

Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Luo Fengtang also became interested.

"What else? Are all these used to make toilet water?" He asked.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Of course not!"

"In a precise sense, I plan to make three types of water."

"One is toilet water, which is used to repel mosquitoes."

"For the second one, I plan to refine the essence on the basis of toilet water, add different flower essences, and make it into a perfume."

"At that time, toilet water will be sold in shops at a price that ordinary people can accept."

"Perfume, on the other hand, takes the high-end route."

She has paid attention to the markets in Daqi, Daliao in the north, and Licheng in the south.

There are a lot of spices in the rouge gouache shop.

Ladies also like to burn all kinds of incense in the boudoir.

However, no one has studied the perfume yet.

As long as she makes toilet water and perfume, she will cooperate with Zuo Junmo and push them to the market together.

Hey, from low-end to high-end, cast a net, big fish and small shrimp will eat all.

At that time, the money will come rolling in.

As for Mianniu Mountain, the most indispensable thing is these raw materials.

"Qing'er, your idea, I think Tie Cheng!"

Luo Fengtang's praise brought her back from her thoughts.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what kind of water is this last type of water, and what is it used for?" He asked again.

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and said, "The last one, I plan to make disinfectant."

"Disinfectant?" Luo Fengtang was surprised.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, and said with a serious face: "When the flood came, many things were submerged, and many poultry and livestock carcasses were rotting in the water."

"After the flood recedes, there will definitely be a lot of germs growing around."

"People who are in poor health, the elderly and children, are most likely to be infected and sick."

"So I have to develop a disinfectant to sterilize before that." She said.

Hearing her worry, Luo Fengtang's expression became serious.

"You are right to be concerned, indeed."

"Qing'er, seeing you working so hard to make these, is there anything I can do? Give me some too!"

Luo Fengtang begged.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and blinked at him and said, "Silly boy, aren't you tired of digging ditches from dawn to dusk?"

He shook his head: "Digging a canal is digging a canal, but I still want to do something with you."

"Good Qinger, just give me a chance and assign me some work!"

"When I'm free, I can help you with something."

Looking at his sincere pleading face, Yang Ruoqing thought for a while.

"Well, when you dig the canal later, if you see snakes in the nearby ditch, help me catch some," she said.

"What do you want a snake for?" Luo Fengtang asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Take their snake gall and add it to the toilet water."

Luo Fengtang: "..."

Yang Ruoqing continued: "Medical books say: Snake gallbladder is cool in nature, bitter in taste, can dispel wind and dampness, cool and improve eyesight, and has the effect of detoxifying and removing prickly heat."

Luo Fengtang nodded without hesitation: "Since it is a good thing that can come in handy, isn't it simple?"

"There's a lot of water right now, there's no shortage of everything but those snakes."

"Tomorrow I'll dig a canal, bring a deep bucket and basket, and promise to bring you a basket!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled, and added a few words to him.

The general idea is to teach him which types of snakes to catch. Some snakes are very poisonous, so don't catch them.

In fact, the gallbladder of any snake can be used as medicine.

Especially the snake gall of these highly poisonous snakes such as coral snake and five-paced snake are precious medicinal materials.

However, she didn't want him to put himself in danger, so she only told him to catch some water snakes, black snakes, small pythons and the like.

……

The next day, Yang Ruoqing led the herb-collecting team into the mountain as usual.

When she returned home in the evening, Luo Fengtang and the others also finished work.

Sure enough, he brought back most of the snakes in the basket.

The strips are tangled together, and pulling them out is like carrying a bundle of tangled nylon threads.

It's just that this ball of thread can squirm, and when it squirms, the scales rub against each other, making a sizzling, sizzling sound.

As a result, all the women in the yard were frightened and lost most of their souls. They all watched from afar and dared not approach at all.

Even a tough woman like Dasun's was screaming that her scalp was getting cold.

"Qing'er, why did you ask Tang Yazi to bring back so many snakes?"

Da Sun couldn't help asking.

"Then these snakes slipped away and got into our house, and then got into the bed, I'm going to be scared to death!"
