Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 21 He Shouwu

"Hua'er, Qiu'er, we should go" Yang Chunni stood on the mountain not far away and shouted towards Chunqiu.

"Got it." Hearing the voice, Chunqiu stood up and replied, and after speaking, he pulled up Chunhua who was sitting beside him on the ground, and the two went out with a basket each.

"Third Sister, what's in your baskets?" Yang Chunni looked at their baskets curiously, and couldn't help but look down, which surprised her. What is it?

Chunqiu looked up at the eldest sister's puzzled and frightened eyes, and was about to explain before being preempted by Chunhua, "Sister, this can be sold for money," Chunhua said seriously.

"Selling money? You mean this?" Yang Chunni's tone was a little surprised.Pointing to the things in the spring flower basket, I don't believe it, isn't it just some leaves and unknown black things?How could it be possible to sell it for money when it was so ugly?

"Yes, yes, I heard from an old grandpa." Chunhua looked at Yang Chunni's suspicious look, and her tone was uncertain, thinking that her elder sister was really ignorant, and this was worth a lot of money.

"Grandpa?" Yang Chunni heard another rare term, and felt like being scratched by a cat's paw, why did she pull out an old grandpa?This will not be deceived, Yang Chunni is even more worried when she thinks of this, and the eyes she looks at the two are also a little worried.

Looking at the increasingly chaotic situation in front of him and the complex expression of his elder sister, Chunqiu had no choice but to go out in person, "Elder sister, it's not what you think, the grandfather we're talking about is Dr. Zhou from the thatched cottage in the town. I met Grandma when she was selling things, and he said it was very valuable, so the two of us dug it up." Chunqiu looked at Yang Chunni with an innocent face, and successfully completed the lie, if her memory is correct. She did meet Dr. Zhou with Chunhua and Yang Li, and he mentioned the curative effect of Polygonum multiflorum, but he would not have thought that Chunqiu had changed.

"Oh, so it's that old man, so it's like this." Yang Chunni felt relieved when she heard Chunqiu's words. If this person was Dr. Zhou, she would be fine. The relationship is pretty good. Before the third sister got her forehead broken, it was Dr. Zhou who came to see it. If Dr. Zhou said this, then there is nothing wrong.

"Is it heavy to carry? Do you want me to carry it for you?" Yang Chunni looked at the two struggling to carry it, and was a little worried. The basket weighed more than ten catties, and she was about to take it from Chunqiu's hand. The basket, and at the same time took the basket in Chunhua's hand.

"No, big sister, I can handle it." Chunqiu avoided Chunni's hand, shook his head and refused, her sister was carrying such a big basket of wild vegetables, which was heavier than this, she should carry it by herself.

"I don't need it either, big sister, the flowers can be moved." Chunhua reached out and picked it up, indicating that the basket was not heavy at all.

"Okay then, if you can't hold it, remember to call me." Chunni didn't continue as she watched the two of them feel sorry for her.

"Understood, sister, wipe your handkerchief." Chunqiu looked at the sweat on Yang Chunni's face, took out the handkerchief in his arms and handed it to Chunni.

"Hey, Sanmei is so kind." Chunni took it and smiled, wiping the sweat off her face along her cheeks.

"Sister, I have it here too, here it is for you" Chunhua also took out her small handkerchief, but it was a bit dirty, Chunhua also realized this problem and was a little shy.

"Second sister is also great." Chunni didn't dislike it, she took it with a smile and put it in her arms, ready to wash it and return it to the two.

"Okay, then let's go back quickly." Chunqiu ran over and took Chunhua's hand, and said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm hungry." Chunhua nodded, she hadn't eaten for almost a day, she was so hungry.

In this way, the shadows of the three of them became longer and longer under the rays of the setting sun, and finally disappeared.

When the three of them arrived home, they only saw Mrs. Yang and Li arranging the vegetables not far away in the yard. Chunqiu ran to Mrs. Yang and said, "Grandma, do we have a big fan?"

"Winluo? What are you doing?" After hearing Chunqiu's words, Yang Lishi turned her head, why does her good granddaughter want this.

"Grandma, I want to dry the medicinal materials." Chunqiu looked serious, "Look, grandma" pointed to the basket beside him, "What is this called... By the way, the medicinal materials of Polygonum multiflorum, Doctor Zhou last time I told you, it’s worth the money.”

"Huh?" Mrs. Yang and Li were a little surprised. It has been several months since Dr. Zhou, how could my good granddaughter remember it. "How does my good granddaughter remember?" Yang Lishi stared at Chunqiu with an old face, a little suspicious.

"I don't remember, Sister Chunhua does, because Doctor Zhou said it was delicious." Chunqiu blamed Chunhua not far away with an innocent face, as long as there was something about food, Chunhua would definitely remember it.

Sure enough, upon hearing this explanation, Yang Li’s face became less skeptical. After all, Chunhua, a big foodie, Yang Li also understood, “The winnow is in the warehouse, I’ll get it for you.” After Yang Li said, she stood up. Get up and walk back.

Huh, Chunqiu breathed a sigh of relief, her grandma is really not easy to fool, luckily she has fooled Sister Chunhua over early.

"Second sister, come quickly." Chunqiu waved to the distance.

"What's wrong?" Chunhua saw Chunqiu waving at her, and hurried over.

"It's okay, I just want to dig together tomorrow, Second Sister, don't get up late." Chunqiu just wanted to remind Second Sister, but Yang Lishi came back unexpectedly, so he had to change the topic to continue.

"Oh, this, don't worry, I can get up." When Chunhua heard about this, she quickly nodded in agreement. It's all money, how much candy can you buy.

"Hua'er, Qiu'er said you know this medicine?" Yang Lishi had already walked to the two of them at this time, holding a winnow in one hand, while lowering her head and asking Chunhua.

It's over, Chunqiu is a little worried, her grandma is really worried.

"Yeah, I know it, it's worth it." Chunhua's tone was affirmative. Didn't Qiu'er say it herself?After Chunhua finished speaking, she glanced at Chunqiu.

"That's good. I'm worried that you two will be cheated. If it's useless to dig, let's see where you cry." Only then did Yang Li feel relieved. Not necessarily how to cry.

"No, no, Doctor Zhou can't lie. By the way, grandma, my second sister and I will go up the mountain to dig tomorrow. There are still a lot of them on the mountain," Chunqiu said.

"Okay, let's go, just be careful." Yang Li nodded and agreed without thinking, "This is a winnow, you can take it and use it, and put it in the east. There is no room at the door of our main house." The winnow was handed over to Chunqiu, without forgetting the instructions.

"Yeah, got it." Chunqiu took the winnow and nodded in agreement.

Then Chunhua and the others dragged the winnow to the open space in the east, poured out all the wolfberry leaves in the basket, and put them aside.

"Second Sister, let's just arrange it." Chunqiu carefully picked out some miscellaneous leaves and straightened the Polygonum multiflorum.

There are many steps in the production process of Polygonum multiflorum, but Chunqiu does not understand it, from material selection, soaking, cleaning, desilting, dehydration, grading, cutting, drying in the shade, cage, steaming, drying, to nine steaming and nine drying.I don’t know how to do these springs and autumns, so I chose the stupidest way to put them, washing them with water and drying them directly.

After Chunqiu arranged all the medicinal materials, he quickly brought out a basin of water from the small kitchen, carefully washed the medicinal materials in the water, and then put them in the dustpan to dry.

Chunhua had already run away and disappeared, and Chunqiu was the only one next to Winluo who was very busy.

Chunqiu holds the washed Polygonum multiflorum in her hand and observes it carefully. The corners of her mouth are getting bigger and bigger. Others may not know it, but she is a college student of Chinese medicine, but she has a clear heart. The wild Polygonum multiflorum is very effective. "Compendium" records that the temperature and taste of this substance is bitter and astringent, bitter tonifies the kidney, warms and nourishes the liver, and can astringe essence, so it can nourish blood and nourish the liver, strengthen essence and kidney, strengthen muscles and bones, and black hair. Rehmannia glutinosa and asparagus are above all medicines.When Qi and blood are too harmonious, diseases such as wind deficiency, carbuncle, and scrofula can be known (eliminated).The property of medicine is bitter, sweet and astringent, slightly warm.With such a variety of medicinal materials, someone will definitely buy them, Chunqiu thought to himself.

"Niu Niu, what are you doing?" Yuan Shi had just finished embroidering her purse and was about to go out to feed the chickens, when she saw a small man not far from the east, who was washing his ass with his butt up.Yuan Shi walked in and saw that it was her own daughter.Suddenly a little curious, stretched his neck to look at the things in front of him.

"Mother, I'm making money," Chunqiu said without turning his head while continuing to tidy up the Polygonum multiflorum.

"Oh?" Yuan raised her eyebrows, "Is it just these things? Can you make money?" Yuan and Yang Chunni had the same first reaction, some disbelief, who would buy these ugly things?

"Of course, if you don't believe me, just wait and see, mother." Chunqiu looked up at Yuan Shi with a smile on his face.

"Okay, mother is waiting for Niu Niu to earn money, mother is going to work." Yuan Shi didn't take it seriously, just pretended that the girl was playing, following the Spring and Autumn dialect, and left after finishing speaking.

Chunqiu looked at Yuan's back, shook his head and said nothing, her mother would definitely regret it, and after thinking about it, she continued to play with her traditional Chinese medicine.

During the period, everyone in the Yang family knew Chunqiu's method of earning money because of curiosity, but no one was optimistic about it, because it was too unreliable, but they didn't stop her, anyway, they took it as their own exercise.

Chunqiu said that everything is not important, and she will believe it when she sells for money.

The dinner in the evening is still ordinary white rice, and the vegetable soup picked by Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li made it herself. salty.I couldn't swallow it at all, looking at the expressions of the people around me.

Looking at his face, Chunqiu thought that he was not the only one who felt this way. Of course, except for Yang Lishi, grandma's food was very delicious, and she ate an extra bowl of rice than usual. Who made her grandma's taste stronger.

　All Chinese medicines are based on Du Niang, I am not very sure, there is not much content in Chinese medicine, just take a look and be happy~~~
