Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 56 The first batch of seeds from the spiritual field were harvested
"You're so heavy!"

Li Xiangdong helped Xing Weiyang kick open the door of the next room, helped him in, and threw him on the bed in the inner room, which splashed up dust. "Wow, don't use this quilt anymore. It hasn't been exposed to the sun for several months, it's damp!"

"I'm not drunk... not drunk!" Xing Weiyang muttered, his nose red, he had been drunk to the point of being unconscious.

Li Xiangdong had no choice but to tear off the quilt, move the rack full of horseshoes under the window and hang them up to dry in the sun, then return to his room and bring back the quilt to cover Xing Weiyang. After working for a while, he finally had time to rest. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked around at this shop which was smaller than his own.

The house was empty and no one lived in it. Once the popularity faded, things would age faster. Originally, the two shops were of similar age, but the Xing family's shop looked more weathered and ancient. There were spider webs everywhere, and the furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust, with only a few hand prints on the scattered horseshoes.

The hoof trimmer industry has declined even more than their veterinary industry, which is why two generations of the Xing family have struggled and still cannot adapt to the trend of the times.

Whether Xing Weiyang goes south or north, without a letter of introduction and not wanting to continue his old job, life will be extremely difficult.

He knew this kid's temper very well. His mouth was the toughest. When had Li Xiangdong ever seen him cry since he was a child? He cried like a 200-pound child because he was drunk. He really couldn't bear it anymore.

Sighing slightly, Li Xiangdong stood up, picked up the broom and hastily swept the room. Before leaving, he took out ten yuan and five catties of food coupons and placed them on the bedside, pressing them down with a horseshoe. He also took out half a catty of pork from the Lingquan Secret Realm and hung it in a conspicuous place, then closed the door and left.

I looked at the sky. It was just past two in the afternoon. I was afraid there would be no air support today.

It doesn't matter, he is used to the frequent failures in the veterinary profession.

"Xiao Li!" At this time, the barber from the opposite door came out to pour out the dirty water. Seeing Li Xiangdong, his eyes lit up, "Xiao Xing is back?"

"Well! Uncle Qin is busy? I just finished drinking with him!" Li Xiangdong said with a smile.

"It's good to be back!" The barber was very emotional, his eyes full of reminiscence, "It would be even better if my old friend Lao Xing could come back too!"

Li Xiangdong smiled and didn't respond. He pointed to the horse shoe shop and said, "Uncle Qin, when Wei Yang wakes up, let him know. I'm going back first!"

"Ah!" The barber nodded, turned his hunched body and walked into the house, muttering: "My old friends are disappearing every day. Old Li is gone, and I'm afraid Old Xing will be gone soon, too. Sigh..."

Li Xiangdong didn't hear his mumbling. He went into the veterinary shop, hastily tidied the table, closed the door, sat at the table, and immersed his consciousness in the secret realm of Lingquan.

The air was filled with mist, and everything around was blurry.

But the edge of the pond where he was standing was already lush and green, with the fragrance of peach and pear blossoms in the air, the herbs in the spiritual fields emitting natural medicinal aromas, and many new seedlings growing one after another in the vegetable patch nearby.

Whether it is fruit trees, herbs or vegetables, they all look vibrant and full of vitality.

Li Xiangdong was overjoyed. He never expected that after less than a day, the plants would be ready to be harvested.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of farming tools such as hoes in the shop, so he went out and brought them in without thinking.

When you arrive at the spiritual field, the first thing that catches your eye is maca, a herb with lush branches and leaves. When you pull it out, it looks like a carrot. Around it is the vine herb Morinda officinalis, which is entangled. When you dig it out with a hoe, the roots are slightly purple-red, and each root is plump and has thick flesh.

There are scattered plants called dodder growing around the two herbal medicines. They cling to the former in a climbing state. Although their number is small, their yield is astonishing. The soybean-like fruits are about to explode out of the silky wrapping.

In no time, he used a hoe to remove all the herbs from the field, picked the grass and removed the leaves, removed the roots and peeled the herbs, and put them aside.

Then we came to the vegetable plot next to it. Li Xiangdong had sown a lot of seeds here. He planted some green vegetables, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts. They grew extremely lushly in different areas, which made people happy at the sight.

The leaves of Chinese cabbage are green and tender, the cucumbers are plump and big, and the tomatoes are rosy. The green, yellow and red ones give people a great sense of achievement. The sweet potatoes and peanuts are buried in the ground and cannot be seen, but just looking at the branches and leaves above, you can tell that the harvest is not small.

Li Xiangdong worked hard with a hoe and dug them all out.

While taking a break, he looked at the peach and pear trees again. Although they had not borne any fruit, the blooming flowers reminded him that he would see the fruit trees ripen in a few days.

Li Xiangdong knew that peach trees bloom in three years and bear fruit in four years. It is only in the fourth year that they enter the true maturity period and grow sweet and delicious peaches.

Judging from the growth progress of Chinese herbal medicines and vegetables, he guessed that the peach and pear trees would bear fruit and mature in a week at most.

Although he was unable to eat the peaches, he noticed that a lot of peach gum had dripped from the peach tree. This is a top-notch good thing that can be used as medicine and as glue.

He smiled and scraped all the peach gum off the two trees.

I brought in a scale and counted today's harvest.

21 pounds of Morinda officinalis, 15 pounds of maca, 12 pounds of Cuscuta australis, 8 pounds of green vegetables and cabbage each, 15 pounds of cucumbers, 6 pounds of tomatoes, 11 pounds of peanuts, and up to 25 pounds of sweet potatoes.

Even peach gum weighs 10 kilograms.

Today was a very fruitful day and Li Xiangdong's mood suddenly improved.

Of course, he did not take all these things out of the Lingquan Secret Realm directly. Instead, he cut down a pear tree, hastily made a storage cabinet, and put the things in it. It was convenient to take them whenever he needed them. He only took out two pounds each of Morinda officinalis, Maca, and Cuscuta australis, and five pounds of sweet potatoes. He did take all the peach gum with him because he would need it today.

Before going out, he did not forget to sow some more seeds in the spiritual field. Not many, just enough to occupy one fifth of the spiritual field. Now these herbs are enough for a while, so he doesn't need too many.

The more vegetables the better, and he left some of each kind behind to cultivate as old seeds.

Anyway, in the Lingquan Secret Realm, with the nourishment of the spiritual spring, he was not afraid that these vegetables and herbs would be damaged.

After finishing these, he left the secret realm, checked what he had gained, put it in a sack, carried it on his shoulder, locked the door and left.

He went to look at Xing Weiyang, who was still asleep. He shook his head and left.

It was only half past three when he returned to the courtyard. After putting down his things, Li Xiangdong began to clean, move the furniture to the door, fetch water to wash it, and start mending and repairing things.

While the medicine was drying in the sun, they moved the medicine furnace to the door and lit a fire. They poured more than ten kilograms of peach gum into it and began to boil the glue.

If there are damaged corners on the furniture, you can simply fill them with peach gum and then paint them to make them consistent with the previous style of the furniture.

Although Li Xiangdong did not have yellow pear wood, he had quite a few high-quality pear trees in his secret realm.

Boiling peach gum is a technical job, because the original peach gum itself is a large-molecule sugar, which can only be successful after being hydrolyzed and decolorized to become a small-molecule polysaccharide.

During this process, the intoxicating smell of sugar gum will always be emitted, which is extremely tempting.

Look, Banggeng, who just got out of school, smelled the smell and walked into the middle courtyard drunk...
