pastoral woman doctor

Chapter 7 A Bowl of Rice

When she was in college, she went to the countryside every summer to provide free medical consultations for villagers. She did not want to go home and participated every year. She still had some understanding of the countryside, and the Bai family, as a traditional Chinese medicine family, was more interested in the research of Chinese herbal medicine. She is more thorough than the average doctor, and this kind of field trip is no problem for her.

When the golden sunlight shines through the thick leaves and sprinkles on the dead leaves under the forest, dispelling all the fog in the forest, the white grass gathers to the edge of the forest.

In this undeveloped virgin forest, there must be a lot of herbs. Of course, there are also various wild animals, maybe there are large carnivorous wild animals. She takes every step carefully.

There are many kinds of herbs here, and she carefully picks them out and puts them in the basket. If you don't use them now, it doesn't mean you won't need them in the future.

After walking for about half an hour, a lot of medicinal materials have been collected in the back basket, but the medicinal materials for promoting blood circulation and dispersing stasis that grandma needs have not been found.

Bai Caohe worked hard to keep her eyes open, for fear of missing any herbs she needed.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a green umbrella plant not far away caught Bai Caohe's attention, it was a Panax notoginseng!
Panax notoginseng has the function of stopping bleeding and dispelling blood stasis. It is one of the best medicinal materials for treating footprints on grandma's waist!

Not only that, Panax notoginseng is also known as the "sacred grass of the southern country". In addition to stopping bleeding, it can also nourish blood. It is one of the rare and high-quality medicinal materials.

Panax notoginseng is generally not an only child, and Baicaohe took a closer look, wow!Eyes are bubbling!There are nearly [-] square meters of Panax notoginseng here, which looks like it has been planted, what a beautiful Panax notoginseng garden!

I selected some aged Panax notoginseng, dug them out, and put them in a basket. I don’t know if people in this dynasty knew the usefulness of Panax notoginseng, but no one came to dig them up. If Qiyuan is sold, she will get a small fortune!

Only poor people know how precious a penny is!

Once the young lady of a well-fed family was reduced to this dilapidated place, she also learned to think about everything: Can this be exchanged for money?

Bai Caohe filled the pannier with emotion, and carrying the heavy pannier on her back, the more she walked, the heavier her steps became, and she starved to death!The porridge eaten in the morning has long been digested!
One, two, three... one thousand 110 one, Bai Caohe silently counted the steps in her heart, feeling that she was going to faint from hunger, why didn't she get home yet!

When she lost count, she finally saw her low pigsty!
Pigsty pigsty I love you!
I love you to death!Immediately, Bai Caohe regained his energy and ran towards home with big strides.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

Putting down the basket, I went to the place where the fire was burning. Just as I was about to pick up the pot to make porridge, I smelled the fragrance of rice emanating from the pot. When I lifted the lid of the pot, there was more than half of the pot full of white rice!
Bai Caohe instantly understood that she just told her grandma that she wanted to eat rice yesterday, and today grandma took out a small amount of rice to cook for her, how much she loves her does not need to be described in words, because , all in action!Also, her own waist was injured, and she clearly told her not to get out of bed, but she remembered that her granddaughter who was out was hungry, so she insisted on getting out of bed to cook for her. After eating, how could she not love such a thoughtful grandma!Have to love!

"Hurry up and eat!"

Bai Liang, who was lying on the bed, was smiling. Her granddaughter can heal diseases, which is something that all the girls in this village do not have. Her little grass is really capable.

"Grandma, come and eat too!"

Bai Caohe scooped up a bowl and brought it to the bedside and handed it to Bai Liang. They have something to eat together!

Bai Liang shook his head and pushed the bowl back, "Eat the little grass, grandma ate it before you came back."

"Grandma, you can eat it. I ate wild fruits in the forest, so I'm not hungry." Bai Caohe lied casually, and suddenly realized that there should be a lot of food in the forest besides medicinal materials. It's golden autumn and October, and it's still mature!

She made up her mind to go for a walk in the woods tomorrow and pay more attention to the fruit situation. If she can find a fruit that the people here are not worth eating, she will be prosperous!

Bai Caohe thought: She must have fallen into Qian's eyes, otherwise, she would always think about money in current affairs and affairs. To cure this eye disease of Qian, the only way is to make money!
"It's better to eat the grass, grandma hasn't worked today, so she's not hungry."

When Bai Caohe was lost in thought, Bai Liang pushed the bowl back again.

What does it mean to not be hungry without working?Don't you need to eat if you don't work?Bai Caohe loves such a grandma very much. Only those who have experienced rich clothes and good food but have not felt the warmth of the family will understand how deep love is contained in Bai Liang's resignation!
But, grandma, just eat it, within a week, Xiaocaoer will have a way to let us eat delicious rice, maybe there is meat!

"Grandma, you don't eat grass and you don't eat it!" Bai Cao squeezed her nose together, imitating her soft and waxy voice, and flirted with Bai Liang.

"Grandma will ignore you if you don't eat anymore!" Bai Liang pretended to be angry and pushed the bowl into Bai Caohe's hand.

"Me!" The white grass is like a stick in the throat. When I was a child, I learned a certain text, saying that mother and daughter pushed a bowl of rice, and they were reluctant to eat it. In the end, they changed it into porridge and ate it together. At that time, I still thought it was incredible. , I was starving to death, and pushing back and forth, it was too fake, now she understands: it is not fake at all, on the contrary, it is a natural expression of love when it is strong.

"How about I cook porridge and we eat together?"

Bai Caohe imitated the plot of forgetting who the pig's feet were, but was directly pecked on the forehead by grandma, "Grandma didn't listen to what she said, it's really hurtful!"

"I...I eat!"

Grandma did it on purpose, so why couldn't she see it, but if she continued to decline, she was afraid that it would hurt grandma's heart even more, and she would feel that it was her incompetence that made her incapable of feeding her granddaughter.

Bai Caohe held the bowl and sat by the bed, eating the rice bite by bite.

She can't wait for a moment, wishing that the medicinal materials in the basket will immediately turn into white silver, and then replace it with the same white rice, then put it in the pot, cook it into rice, and share it with grandma!
After lunch, Bai Caohe smashed Panax notoginseng and applied it on Mrs. Bai Liang, and made herbal soup for her to drink. She was repeatedly ordered not to get out of bed to do things, so she sat at the door and processed the medicinal materials.

It took about half an hour to process the medicinal materials, Bai Caohe cleaned the cooking pot, and began to extract mint essential oil. It took a whole afternoon until the sun went down and the clouds shone in through the holes in the thatched hut. Stretch out, the last pot of peppermint essential oil distillation is complete!

She put the completed peppermint essential oil into a bamboo tube that her grandma used to hold water. The bamboo tube is full, and she should take it to the market tomorrow to see if it can be sold.
