Back to 1988: I became the world's number one surgeon

"I kept you here today because I wanted to talk to you about collecting herbs. After entering the mountains, everyone must ensure their own safety, especially when entering deep mountains, you must be extra careful!"

Su Wanqiu said to everyone.

"Wanqiu, don't worry about this. Nothing will go wrong with me here!"

Su Yuan said hurriedly.

today.

Although the amount of medicinal herbs he picked was not the most, it was still a lot. He and Wanzheng went into the mountains together and earned a total of five yuan and ten cents. Five yuan and ten cents, this was much higher than the salary of working in a factory.

There are thirty days in a month, that’s more than a hundred yuan.

Factories in the city.

The salary is around 30 to 50 yuan. The salary for technicians is higher, around 80 yuan, but they are employees. He is just an old man in the village and cannot compare to them.

You can earn four dollars.

Su Yuan felt very satisfied in his heart.

"Uncle, you must be extra careful when entering the deep mountains. If you have no experience in going deep into the mountains, don't take them there lightly. Once something goes wrong, it will be troublesome!"

Su Wanqiu said to Su Yuandao.

The resources in the mountains are richer.

The prices of rare medicinal materials are also higher. It may not be a big deal now, but when others pick rare medicinal materials from the mountains and know the prices.

many people.

It will definitely be an adventure!

"Wanqiu, don't worry, we are very experienced when we go into the mountains!"

"That's right!"

……

Everyone looked relaxed. Su Wanqiu nodded and then said again: "Everyone, you know that I have to go to the rural hospital to work on weekdays and I don't have time to deal with these herbs. So I accepted all the wet herbs you sent today, but next time, I only want the dry ones!"

Wet ones are cheaper.

But it needs to be processed, and Su Wanqiu doesn't have time. Xiuling also needs to take care of Tuanzi. The old couple Su are not in good health, and Su Wanqiu doesn't want them to be too tired.

Big deal.

Earn less!

These medicinal herbs are enough to keep Su Wanqiu busy today!

"Late Autumn, there is no problem with the dryness, but some medicinal herbs are processed differently, and none of us understand them. If they are processed badly, it will be heartbreaking!"

Su Yuan said hurriedly.

In their minds, the medicinal herbs they picked are money, and if they are not handled properly, it would be like throwing money away.

"I've already thought about this. This afternoon, don't go into the mountains. Everyone stay here with me. I will personally teach you how to deal with these herbs!"

"Besides that, I'll also give you a meal at night to keep you full!"

Su Wanqiu spoke.

"Wanqiu is teaching me personally, so I must learn it!"

"No, I want to call my wife to learn with me!"

"I'll go too!"

……

The yard suddenly became lively. Many people left and went home to call their wives. It was only men who went into the mountains to pick herbs, but women were enough to process them.

Su Wanqiu looked at everyone and a smile appeared on her face.

This is only the first day.

Seven days passed.

When Liu Changjiang comes, I will definitely give him a big surprise.

"Wanzheng, here's five dollars. Go to the village and buy some meat. Remember, it has to be fatter!"

Su Wanqiu took out five dollars and handed it to Su Wanzheng.

Leave everyone behind.

Meat is definitely a must for dinner. Five dollars buys almost five pounds of meat. Although it is impossible for everyone to eat enough, it is enough to have a good meal.

"Mom, Xiuling, you two go cook!"

Su Wanqiu said.

"Uh-huh!"

Xiuling nodded, and then went into the main room with Su's mother. In the small courtyard, Su Wanqiu cleared a space and began to demonstrate on the spot.

"Everyone, medicinal herbs not only need a method for processing, but also for picking!"

"For example, for the astragalus root, you have to dig deep to avoid breaking the main root or damaging the outer skin. Uncle Litou does the best job, and he digs the most complete Scutellaria baicalensis."

"After digging out the roots, remove the soil; cut off the reed heads and fibrous roots while they are still fresh, and place them in the sun or on a kang until they are half dry. Straighten the roots, tie them into bundles, and then sun or on a kang until they are completely dry."

Su Wanqiu picked up a piece of Scutellaria baicalensis and began to speak. Everyone in the yard listened carefully.

“Danggui…”

……

The afternoon passed slowly, and when it was almost five o'clock, Wanzheng came back. The smell of rice could already be smelled in the main room.

In the small courtyard, while Su Wanqiu was explaining, everyone also helped Su Wanqiu to collect the herbs.

Treat it as experimental material and handle it easily!

night.

Coming slowly.

When all the herbs were almost processed, the meal was also ready. Su Wanqiu's family did not have enough bowls and chopsticks, so they directly brought some from Su Yuan's family as well. They knew that Su Yuan had earned more than five yuan today.

The aunt was also very happy.

Helping in the main room.

After dinner.

Everyone left one after another.

"Uncle Defu, Uncle Litou, Uncle, you stay!"

Su Wanqiu left behind Su Yuan, Su Litou and Su Defu, leaving three people. Su Yuan had his own ideas. Among the three, Su Yuan was his eldest uncle.

Su Defu had a very good relationship with his uncle and often went into the mountains.

Su Litou is a villager who had studied Chinese medicine with Wang Heng for several years. He knew most of the medicinal herbs and how to process them.

"Wanqiu, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Everyone leave.

Three people were left in the yard, along with Old Man Su, Su's mother and Xiuling, chatting in the main room.

"Uncle, I kept you here because I want you to lead the team into the mountains to pick rare medicinal herbs such as ginseng, gastrodia elata and ganoderma lucidum!"

Looking at Su Yuan, Su Wanqiu said in a deep voice.

"That's easy to say!"

Su Yuan said hurriedly.

"Wanqiu, as for the matter of entering the mountains to pick rare medicinal herbs, everyone was here just now. It's okay for you to talk about it. After all, everyone knows that entering the mountains is very dangerous!"

Su Defu said with a smile.

"Uncle Defu, it is indeed dangerous to enter the mountains, but what if the temptation is too great?"

Su Wanqiu said.

"what do you mean……"

The three of them seemed to have thought of something in their minds.

"Today I did not tell you the price of ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum. In addition, I did not tell you the prices of some rare medicinal herbs. These herbs are found in the mountains of Lingnan, basically deep in the mountains, and in specific areas. In some areas, there may even be large wild beasts!"

Su Wanqiu said.

"Wanqiu is right. I have followed Wang Heng to pick ginseng before. We have to go deep into the mountains!"

Suri nodded.

"Wanqiu, how much does this ginseng cost?"

Su Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"The price of ginseng depends on its age and quality. If it is over 30 years old and in good condition, it will cost more than 10 yuan per plant. Apart from that, if you come across ginseng, there will definitely be older ones nearby, and there will probably be a lot of them!"

Su Wanqiu said.

Su Wanqiu did not tell the real price. The price of ginseng is not ten yuan. The price of ginseng that is more than thirty years old is at least fifty yuan, and that is the normal price.

It's urgent.

The price will be higher.

Liu Changjiang also told Su Wanqiu at the beginning that if the rare medicinal materials were of good age and quality, he would directly give Su Wanqiu the market price. This price was far beyond the imagination of the villagers.

"Ten dollars!"

"Fizz!"

Even so, Su Yuan took a breath after hearing it. No wonder Su Wanqiu didn't say it at first. This was too cruel. Ten yuan for one plant. This was just the price for one plant.

"Wanqiu, how would you like to arrange it?"

Su Yuan asked.

"I would like to ask Uncle Da, Uncle Fude, Uncle Lie, and Wanzheng to accompany me into the mountains in five days. That day is just the right day for me to rest and I don't have to go to work!"

Su Wanqiu took a deep breath and said.
