The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

In the east wing, Doctor Yang talked about the purchase of medicinal materials with the owner of the drug store. The owner said that the villagers here did not have the habit of digging medicinal materials.

Most of them don’t know the medicinal herbs and are afraid of digging the wrong ones.

He knew that the county's pharmacy purchased fresh herbs and herbs that had been simply prepared.

Although there is no precedent, you can try it.

After all, this is Taihang Mountains, where there are abundant medicinal herbs.

The shopkeeper asked Zhou Yue to first dig up some Salvia miltiorrhiza, Bupleurum chinense, and Rehmannia glutinosa, which are commonly used, and bring them to the shopkeeper for a look.

Among them, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Bupleurum chinense should be dried, while Rehmannia glutinosa should be fresh.

Don't use too much, just about ten pounds each of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Bupleurum chinense, and five pounds of fresh Rehmannia glutinosa.

Zhou Yue promised to deliver it next time, and the shopkeeper was waiting for her in the drugstore.

After dinner, Doctor Yang said goodbye.

He needed to go back and think about the patients with leg injuries he had treated before.

Let’s see who has enough financial resources to afford using Panax notoginseng and chicken leg bones to treat diseases.

See which family has no hope of treatment but has the financial resources to buy a wheelchair for transportation.

He has confirmed with Zhou Yue that he can use this prescription to treat other patients.

"The prescription should not be kept privately. If it can cure diseases and save lives, it will be a great merit that will shine through the ages. Doctor Yang, please feel free to use it."

When Zhou Yue said this, his eyes were clear.

Doctor Yang was moved.

As for the wheelchair, he had also confirmed that they would invite him to observe after it was made.

In the future, if they want to produce on a large scale, he will help them with marketing.

"Doctor Yang, you have the advantage of being the only doctor in town. You will become our top seller."

Doctor Yang didn't understand what Zhou Yue meant by sales champion, but he knew that he was selling this wheelchair not for the sake of making money, but for those poor patients.

As a doctor, he is used to seeing life and death.

I know too well how miserable and pitiful a person would be if his legs were disabled.

Although ordinary people may not be able to afford wheelchairs, he believes that they may not always be unaffordable in the future.

Zhou Yue also said that when they make money in the future, they will donate wheelchairs to ordinary people.

After lunch, Old Man Ning was carried out of the house by Yuan Mo. He sat in the yard and started fiddling with the pile of wood again.

Others have to work in the fields.

Today we went to dry land. As we walked on the road, Zhou Yue kept looking at the roadside.

She was quietly looking at what Chinese medicinal herbs were available.

There are quite a lot of medicinal herbs on the roadside, it seems that no one really picks them locally.

When they came back, they dug as they walked.

Although the pharmacy owner didn't want much, time was tight, and the Salvia miltiorrhiza and Bupleurum needed to be dried after being dug up.

I guess it won’t dry in the next two days, but it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to let the shopkeeper check the quality of the medicinal materials.

At worst, I can just reduce some water weight when selling it to him.

If you want fresh Rehmannia, you have to pick it the day before the market.

Fortunately, Zhou Yue saw more Rehmannia glutinosa, and a lot of it was growing on the edge of the field.

To farmers, they are weeds, and weeds that are difficult to dig out by the roots.

Growing on the edge of the field, it has benefited from the fertility of crops and has not been harvested for many years, so it must have grown into a plump white baby of Rehmannia.

It is not too stressful to collect five kilograms of fresh Rehmannia root in a day.

In order to collect herbs, I returned home early today.

After all, it’s impossible to collect herbs after dark.

Just like that, it was already dark when we got home.

When I walked into the village, I saw two people standing at the door, waiting eagerly.

When I got closer, I found that it was Grandpa Ning and Chun Niang.

The old man was able to walk out of the house and to the front door with his cane.

I don’t know if this is a miracle of medicine, the power of family love, or both.

Yuan Mo hurriedly carried his grandfather back to the yard and put him on his chair.

Qian brought out dinner from the kitchen. She stayed at home today and did not go to the fields.

Old Master Ning said to Yang Mo, "Third girl, come and see, I made the big wheel."

The Ning family arranged their four children, regardless of gender, according to their chronological order, which touched Zhou Yue deeply.

You know, in some places in later times, girls were not qualified to rank with their brothers.

Most of the time, there is one sequence for girls in one's own family and one sequence for boys in a large family.

But the Ning family did not line up with the big families, but their own four children lined up together.

When Yang Mo heard what his grandfather said, he ran over with shining eyes and hugged the circle.

Zhou Yue is a liberal arts student and has forgotten everything about science.

Many things only provide an idea but cannot give guidance on specific details.

But for the grandparents and grandchildren who have quick minds and strong hands-on abilities, it is enough.

Zhou Yue also went to take a look at the so-called wheel. It turned out that this was what the ancient wheel made of wood and a small amount of iron looked like.

Even the spokes are made of wood.

I don't know if it can withstand daily wear and tear.

Anyway, I don’t understand, so Zhou Yue can’t say much. Let’s just wait and see what they come up with.

With the first one, the second one is easy.

After dinner, Yang Mo and his grandfather continued to make wheelchairs, while Zhou Yue led others to continue picking herbs.

You have to dry the herbs while the weather is good.

The next morning, we went to the dry land to harvest beans.

Try to harvest all the mung beans, soybeans and black beans today, dry them in the sun, and thresh them early so they can be stored.

It can be said that from today, the autumn harvest officially begins.

Zhou Yue asked Yuan Mo: "Why are there so few mung beans?"

"Mom, mung beans are useless. They are not as useful as soybeans and black beans."

"Oh, what are they used for?"

"Mung beans are used to make porridge. In the summer, if you want to prevent yourself from getting heatstroke when working in the fields, you can add some to the porridge. You can also make some mung bean soup.

But you can’t eat too much mung beans. The older generation said that mung beans are cold and eating too much will make you thin.”

“Have you ever grown mung bean sprouts?”

"No, aren't beans poisonous if they sprout?"

"Uh, no, who said that?" Zhou Yue was confused.

The knowledge here is all messed up.

After thinking about it again, I understood.

Most people in the countryside don't read.

Their inheritance is passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth.

The younger generation grew up listening to the preaching of the older generation.

Wait until you have children, then pass it on.

People don’t think too much about the reasons behind this. Anyway, as the older generation said, you won’t suffer any loss if you follow their instructions.

If one person remembers it wrong, then pass the mistake on.

In fact, there is no need to laugh at them. Think about what we talked about in the "Tao Te Ching" a few days ago, isn't it the same?

Even books can be passed down with errors, let alone word of mouth.

Even in the imperial court, it was often said that "the laws of our ancestors cannot be abolished."

Inheritance is important, but independent thinking and change, reform and improvement are more important.

This may be the difference between humans and animals: the next generation will have inheritance and even more change.

If we always remain exactly the same as our elders, how can humanity develop?

"What about soybeans and black beans?" Don't dwell on the past, look forward.

"It can also be used to make porridge. Soybeans can also be used to make tofu."

Zhou Yue looked at the kidney-shaped black beans and yellow beans in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This variety of black beans and yellow beans could no longer be found in later generations.

They are all round soybeans.

It turns out that the old variety looks like this.
