Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.

"Fuxin, go open the door." Shi Anan ordered calmly without stopping her hands.

Fu Xin trotted over and opened the gate. It was Xiao Yi's family who came, and some villagers were peeking around, pretending to pass by.

Fu Xin thought about it for a moment and knew what these people wanted to do. They must have been attracted by the smell of barbecue!

She stepped aside to let Ruan, Xiao Yi and the others in, then gave the villagers outside a serious smile and slammed the door mercilessly.

Are you kidding? The young lady only made that little bit, it's not enough for so many people to share. She can't stop Xiao Yi and the others from coming, but no one else can come in!

When Shi Anan heard the noise, she turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yi, Xiao Yuan and Ruan. She casually greeted them, "Aunt Ruan, why don't you stay and have something to eat with us later."

Ruan smiled and said, "We came here because we couldn't resist the smell of your barbecue. Even if you don't tell me, I will stay here and eat two skewers before leaving."

"Don't worry, there will be enough skewers!" Shi Anan quickly picked up a handful of skewers and handed them to Ruan and others, "Here, these are ready, eat them while they're hot."

When everyone got the skewers, they first smelled the aroma with intoxication, then took a light bite. The meat was crispy and charred on the outside, but tender and juicy on the inside, mixed with the slightly salty and fresh taste and the irresistible aroma of cumin, which made everyone's eyes light up.

Liu exclaimed: "Oh, Sister An, how did you roast this meat? How come it's not dry at all?"

Tonight's barbecue really overturned Liu's stereotype of barbecue.

"This meat needs to be marinated before grilling, and it shouldn't be cut too thick or too thin." Shi Anan said as he grilled.

"Then An An, what is this fragrant-smelling seasoning? I never knew that barbecue could have this flavor!" Ruan was obviously very interested in cumin.

In this era, cumin had not been introduced in large quantities. Even if a small amount was introduced, most of it was used as a spice, and no one had ever thought of using it for food.

"It's called cumin, and it goes really well with barbecue."

Although Shi Anan did not explain in detail, everyone knew that this seasoning was probably exchanged with the gods. After all, only the gods have such delicious seasoning!

If Shi Anan knew what they were thinking, she would probably be in tears and laughter again. It was true that she paid money to buy it from the system, but this was really not a seasoning that only gods could have.

Unfortunately, she couldn't get cumin from the local area to explain to them, so this beautiful misunderstanding arose.

-

After eating the barbecue, everyone went back to rest with satisfaction.

Before leaving, An An called Xiao Yi: "Little pretty, how is your research on the spinning machine going?"

"There has been some progress. Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Yi looked at her puzzledly.

Shi Anan shook her head and denied it: "That's not the case. I originally wanted to ask if you were free..."

"I'm free!" Xiao Yi answered simply.

Shi Anan looked up at him in surprise: "Haven't you figured out the spinning machine yet?"

"You said you're not in a hurry. This thing can't be made in a day. Tell me, what do you want to do with it?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and said.

"Oh, I got another mining site blueprint. It's in the back mountain. I want you to accompany me there when the time comes." After all, Xiao Yi's skills are pretty good, and she feels a little safer with him.

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes in disappointment. It turned out that he was just asked to go with him to look for minerals. He thought...

However, he would never refuse Shi Anan's request: "Okay, when are you going?"

"Let's wait for a while until the spring ploughing in Guangming Village is finished."

Spring plowing is related to their food supply for the second half of the year, and Guangming Village is also in the peak period of construction now. There are different changes every day, and she is not at ease leaving here at the moment.

Xiao Yi nodded. By the time the spring plowing was over, the spinning machine would probably be ready.

-

After telling Xiao Yi about exploring for mineral deposits after the spring plowing, Shi Anan temporarily put the matter behind her.

Taking advantage of her free time today, she went to the clinic.

The clinic was built according to Doctor Li's requirements. The front hall is where patients are seen, next to it is the pharmacy, and the backyard is where medicines can be boiled.

In addition to the Chinese medicinal herbs that grow on the mountain, there are also those that An An had collected from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. However, she did not take out the more rare herbs such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum and put them in the clinic.

After all, these rare medicinal herbs are used less and less, and there is no safer place than in her system backpack.

In addition, Shi Anan also placed some daily medicines rewarded by the system in the clinic for Dr. Li to use, such as those hemostatic bandages, which are convenient and quick to use, and are definitely more effective than Dr. Li’s homemade hemostatic powder.

"Doctor Li, are you busy?" Shi Anan walked closer but didn't see Doctor Li, so she shouted loudly.

There were only two or three patients in the clinic who were coughing due to the change of seasons. When they saw An An, they greeted her very respectfully.

Shi Anan also responded politely to the villagers and asked, "Isn't Doctor Li in the clinic?"

An old lady coughed and replied, "Ahem, Doctor Li should be in the backyard. He said he went to make medicine for us."

"Got it. Thank you, Auntie. You should have a good rest." Shi Anan expressed her gratitude to the lady, then lifted the curtain covering the door and went to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw Doctor Li and his five new disciples talking to a basket of medicinal herbs. When I listened carefully, it seemed that Doctor Li was teaching them how to prepare the herbs.

Hearing the noise, Doctor Li looked up and saw that it was Shi Anan. He quickly put down the basket in his hand and walked towards her: "Miss Shi, how come you have time to come to the clinic today? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm fine. I just happened to come over to see you when I had some time. I hope I didn't disturb you?" Shi Anan said with a smile.

Doctor Li waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's no big deal. I have a much easier time in Guangming Village than in Changle Village. People are living well and fewer people get sick, which saves me a lot of work. I was just teaching them how to identify and prepare medicinal herbs."

Doctor Li's five apprentices were young and insightful people he selected from among a group of people who were interested in studying medicine. The oldest was twenty-five and the youngest was twenty.

To learn Chinese medicine, experience needs to be accumulated over time. It is actually a bit late for them to start learning now at their age. However, there is not much room for selection now. These five people are already the ones with better qualifications. As long as they can persist in learning, it will not be a problem to see some minor problems.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Shi, you came just in time. I have read the tutorial about penicillin that you asked me to study before, but I really don't know how to purify it. And what is that microorganism?"

Originally, she thought that with Dr. Li's knowledge of medicine, she might be able to fully understand how penicillin is made, but she still underestimated the gap in understanding of medical skills between Chinese and Western medicine.

It was too much to ask Dr. Li, who had never been exposed to chemistry and did not know what purification was, to study penicillin.

However, she had not thought of Dr. Li's question before. Although penicillin was not a rare substance in modern times, that was based on modern industrial conditions.

In this ancient time, she couldn't even make glass, so naturally there wouldn't be any experimental equipment for purification. If penicillin was not purified enough, it would be fatal, so she had to be cautious.

"Doctor Li, we don't have enough conditions right now, so it might be a little difficult to make penicillin. You don't have to worry. We'll study it again when I come up with a solution."

As for using it now, Shi Anan can only temporarily use currency to purchase finished products from the system.
