Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1332. Magical Uses of Mugwort

The Song family doesn't care at all about what's happening thousands miles away.

They are busy serving the food now.

There were eleven people including Gou Ge sitting at the table. My seventh cousin prepared four dishes and a soup. The dishes were served in a plain stainless steel basin. The taste was really not good at all.

but--

  Who wants style?

Everyone was able to wait until all the dishes were served, and Song Tan and his table started eating before picking up their chopsticks, which was already a manifestation of lifelong morality and courtesy. Who knew that just as they were starting to eat, they were dizzy with the food in their mouths, and heard a series of noises coming from the notebook in the corridor.

Zhang Yanping held the bowl blankly and said, "I haven't sold anything in the past two days. Who sent me a message to ask about this?"

In a split second he made a decision: "Never mind, let's eat first."

After all, generally speaking, if there are so many notifications in a row, the other party must be quite difficult to deal with. Just like their products are so good, some people still complain and give bad reviews after getting them, and then ask for a refund or red envelopes to buy good reviews.

When it comes to dealing with such people, he will never tolerate them and will just ban and block them.

Even now!

  Zhang Yanping had a feeling that this familiar series of news would require some effort, so he simply ate a few mouthfuls of rice to calm his nerves, and listened to the group of people led by Gou Ge who were happily saying:

"How come this rice is so delicious! It's even better than the authentic Wuchang rice I eat at my relative's house!"

"It's true! I can eat two or three bowls of this rice without any vegetables - hey, hey, hey, I was talking about hypothetical! Now there are vegetables, why are you taking so much? Give me some..."

"Brother Gou! You are so mean. You have such a great place, but you kept it hidden for so long."

"Come on! Whose face do you rely on for this meal? Isn't it mine, Dog Brother? If it were you, I would just send you to the canteen on the mountain for a meal."

"Brother Gou, ask them, are they really not selling vegetables or anything like that? Just pay them straight away without any grumbling or bargaining!"

Someone nearby sneered, "Bargaining? Didn't you watch the live broadcast? If there was any chance to bargain for this thing, how could it be your turn?"

"That's right! Brother Gou, can you ask me if this tea is still for sale this year? Can you give me a few kilograms?"

"How many pounds?" Brother Sun rolled his eyes.

"As for this tea, you can ask around. The market price is over 30 yuan, but there is no demand for it."

He knew that there were people who could afford the 30 yuan. But the problem was that they wouldn't sell it! If Brother Sun wanted to buy it himself, he had to shamelessly ask Zhang Yanping to give him a pound and 8 ounces...

Tsk, this news can’t be told to anyone, otherwise I will never have peace in the future.

They were eating and chatting happily, filling their cheeks with food, when they heard Zhang Yanping's cell phone ringing again.

As soon as he saw the location of the number, he was instantly delighted: "Oh, this time the harassing calls are not from the coastal areas, but from the border areas!" After being surprised, he hung up without hesitation. This time even his cell phone vibrated, and it was obvious that a series of messages were being sent to him.

Zhang Yanping: ...If I hadn’t been eating such delicious meals for a year, I would have really wanted to kill someone right now.

But at this moment, he was carefully picking out the fish bones while turning on his mobile phone. After a moment, he was stunned.

Then he handed the phone to Song Tan.

  There was just a carp with its bones removed in Song Tan’s bowl. His seventh cousin had spent a lot of effort to cook it today, and it was so delicious!

Lu Chuan picked out all the fish heads and fins, but the fish bones... to be honest, they were not clean, but the most bones were in Lu Chuan's bowl! She was very satisfied!

When he looked at his phone again, he was also stunned.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chuan asked. Song Tan thought for a moment and summarized his words: "Well, the military personnel in the border area contacted me and wanted to purchase our mugwort. They said it's very effective in bathing and repelling mosquitoes."

“Ouch!” Wu Lan felt distressed instantly: “Is it used when standing guard? I saw it on the vibrato, the mosquitoes were swarming densely through the gauze net, if they were bitten, it would be fatal!”

She discussed with Song Tan: "Then...should we sell it?"

To be honest, ordinary people are naturally happy to cooperate with the government - as long as the other party does not default on their payments.

But the problem is...

Zhang Yanping became nervous: "Tan Tan, if you want to sell it, at least keep some land. Guo Dong said to rub moxa sticks in the summer! It is really effective in curing diseases."

"It's not a question of whether to sell or not," Song Tan said, "it's a question of not having enough even if you sell."

She didn't know how many people there were in the border areas, or how many of the toughest outposts there were. But the country was so big, and they weren't the only ones enduring the tough conditions. When the brother units got in touch, they would definitely come over.

They only planted 100 to 200 mu of mugwort this year, which is incredible for a person. But for the needs of distant places, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

This is true.

  You can't plant all the mugwort in your home, right? Even if you plant all of it, it won't be enough! How big is the area of ​​professional mugwort bases?

Song Tan became conflicted.

Lu Chuan thought about it and suddenly said, "Maybe... we won't need that much at the beginning."

Compared to the old Song family, he obviously understood more about love and romance. At this moment, he said: "Mugwort... is actually very similar to tea leaves. What do you do with the leftover tea leaves from drinking tea at home?"

tea……

The old Song family blushed: Can the tea they make be called tea? Then put it in the big barrel, and the residue is poured into the pig feed bucket every day.

Lu Chuan obviously realized what was happening, and said nonchalantly, "The tea leaves that were sent to me when I was in the imperial capital were so fragrant, and I couldn't bear to throw away the leftover tea leaves, so I collected them, dried them, ground them, and made them into incense sticks."

The Song family was stunned.

How come their lives are so refined? Can they even rub a stick of tea to get a fragrant scent?

Lu Chuan was unaware of everyone's sighs and continued to explain: "Because there are many ingredients added, the fragrance of this incense stick is certainly not as good as when the tea is just brewed, but it still has the effect of refreshing."

and so……

He added: "I think it might be a bit wasteful to take a bath with wormwood tea as you just mentioned."

Unless they boil water regularly and take a bath together, they can't make the most of it and save it. But this is obviously not realistic there.

So……

"Have you ever considered asking them to be patient and wait? Wait until the Dragon Boat Festival when the mugwort is at its most effective and make it into moxa sticks, without the branches, leaves, and stems, and just make it a little rougher."

"Once it is delivered to them, it will be ignited directly in a closed space. Those on duty will have to stand inside for a while, and come out if they can't stand any longer. The most important thing is that clothes can be put inside to be smoked."

"Ten minutes each time. If there aren't many sentries used in the early stages, the ones you planted on the mountain will be more than enough."

Update 2, good night. I have been saving this wonderful use of mugwort for half a year, and finally I use it!!!
