A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 188 Failure

Holding the ginseng in her hands, Jiang Qing went straight to Granny Qian.

Granny Qian was sitting upright, with a lot of medicinal herbs placed in front of her, and Chi Jiu spread them out one by one, saying a few words from time to time.Bud was on the side, bent over to dry the herbs in the vines, and ignored the two people who were talking.

Meme is the most leisurely, basking in the sun with her eyes closed, purring lightly.

It was very quiet and peaceful.

"Jiang Qing, you're here!" Chi Jiu said in surprise.

I don't know whether it's because of meeting like-minded people or wanting to open up, Chi Jiu's always gloomy face slowly brought a little smile, although he didn't understand it, but he finally changed a little bit.

Jiang Qing smiled slightly and said, "Let me ask something."

"What's the matter?" Granny Qian asked, putting down the herbs and raising her eyes.

"Grandma Qian, do you know this kind of plant?" Jiang Qing carefully opened the leaves, revealing the ginseng wrapped inside.

"This is..." Granny Qian approached, looked carefully for a while, and finally shook her head, "I've seen this plant before, but I don't know what it is. Could it be a medicinal herb?"

Jiang Qing didn't answer, she looked at Chi Jiu, and Chi Jiu said: "I don't know!"

"Ya, you?" Jiang Qing turned her gaze to Ya.

With a cold face, Ya approached and carefully looked at the ginseng in her hand, and said, "It's kind of familiar, but I can't think of any medicinal effects?"

"Show me..." Momo said, standing up with the help of the stone, and approached.

Jiang Qing turned sideways and passed the ginseng over.Momo took the ginseng, looked at it with eyes open, Yu Yu brought the ginseng to his mouth, sniffed it carefully, and said, "This thing?"

His wrinkled face shone with shock.

Grandma Qian tapped her cane and said unswervingly: "What's the matter, just tell me if you know it."

"I'm not sure, I've only seen dried ones." Memo said doubtfully, "Back then, the herbs used in the tribe's medicinal baths were all picked by my mother, who was picked by the priests of the previous generation. My mother died unexpectedly, and the tribe's priests have not had time to pass them on. Handed down... I've only seen this thing once or twice, when I was little."

"This plant is called ginseng in our country. It is a very precious medicinal material that can save lives." Jiang Qing said.

After the words fell, everyone stared eagerly at the white and tender ginseng in Jiang Qing's hand.

"That's it. My mother called it human grass, because the roots resemble people. I was worried that there would not be enough medicinal herbs for the tribe's medicinal bath. After all, I failed to accept the complete sacrificial inheritance back then, and many herbs were unfamiliar." With trembling hands, he cut off a small root, put it in his mouth and chewed it lightly.

After a while, his face flushed.

"Jiang Qing, where did you find this ginseng?" Granny Qian asked anxiously.

Jiang Qing pointed to the forest diagonally opposite, and said: "It's in the forest. This one was accidentally pulled out by grass. We found five more trees in the forest. All of them have been marked. A piece of forest is circled, which will be used to plant medicinal herbs in the future."

"Okay, this is good!" Granny Qian was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

So many people nodded their heads one after another.It's not that they never thought about planting medicinal herbs in the tribe before, because living in caves was inconvenient, so they had to shelve this unrealistic idea.

It's different now, Jiang Qing taught them to build a house, and after the house was built, they could build a solid and thick city wall around Taoyuan.At that time, they could move freely around Taoyuan without worrying about being attacked by beasts.

Planting medicinal herbs has naturally become a piece of cake.

"Wait a minute, let me tell Langmo that the tribal physicians will live near that forest in the future, so that you can plant and collect medicinal herbs. What do you think?" Jiang Qing said.

This idea came to her just now.The doctors lived together in one place, and then built a larger yard near the forest, so that it would be convenient for the doctors to see a doctor even if someone was injured in the future.

"Yes, that's a good idea." Ya nodded. She had always wanted to have a piece of land where medicinal herbs could be planted, and Jiang Qingti's method was very good.

"We have no objection." Meme shook her head, pointed at Granny Qian and said, "Qian, why don't we just live together, and improve the medicinal soup you mentioned for the benefit of the tribe."

Granny Qian stared at you, and cursed: "I knew you were thinking about that medicinal soup!"

Having said that, he didn't refuse Momo's proposal. They will be lonely when they all come, and they won't be lonely if they live together with someone to talk to.

Chi Jiu is noncommittal, as long as he can develop poison, he doesn't care where he lives!
"Then it's settled. I also plan to ask Langmo to build a larger house near the forest to accommodate sick or injured people. In this way, it will be much easier for you to treat people." Jiang Qing said .

These are not a big deal and need to be expanded bit by bit.Try to save unnecessary manpower and material resources. Before the breeding is successful, the hundreds of mouths of the tribe need to rely on hunting to feed them. Except for the people who stay behind the tribe to patrol every day, everyone else has to participate in the hunting.

Otherwise, they may starve in the event of natural or man-made disasters.

"Jiang Qing, I really don't know how your head looks like? You can think of all these, the tribe you belong to must be very powerful!" Momo praised, looking at Jiang Qing with relief, why worry that the tribe will not prosper if Jiang Qing is in it?

Jiang Qing smiled and didn't explain anything.

"Jiang Qing, show us the ginseng, and if we find it in the future, we can pick it back." Qing said.Seeing that Jiang Qing and Granny Qian had finished speaking, she couldn't help but speak out.

"Well! It would be great if I saw it marked in Taoyuan! The older this ginseng is, the stronger its medicinal properties will be. If you encounter it when you go out hunting, just pick it back!" Jiang Qing Yinyin taught.

Qing took a few serious glances, then passed the ginseng on for others to see.

Then, he took out the pottery and said, "Jiang Qing, Uncle Yada said that three of the clay bowls fired in the fire were cracked. Do you want to continue to burn?"

After finishing speaking, he handed the pottery piece to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing took the pottery shard, looked at it, and said regretfully, "The clay sifted out with gravel is still a little less viscous. It cracked so quickly, and it probably didn't dry out."

After studying for a while, Jiang Qing analyzed it by herself.

"Is this pottery?" Granny Qian asked.

Jiang Qing nodded and said: "Yes, I sifted out some fine soil with gravel in the morning and kneaded a few bowls evenly. I planned to fire it to see if I could make pottery. Unfortunately, it failed. I will knead a few more later. Give it a try, let it dry out and then fire it..."

Granny Qian took the piece of pottery, looked at it, and said, "This is indeed pottery, but unfortunately it's cracked." Her eyes were full of regret, but she looked at Jiang Qing with surprise.

The clan attaches great importance to pottery, and Tian Yun spent a lot of effort to exchange those pottery from the clan back then, and those things happened later.

Helpless, the tribe had no choice but to hide the pottery. Unexpectedly, in the past few decades, the tribe could also burn its own pottery.

Thinking about it, the smile on Granny Qian's face became softer.
