Chapter 70 Digging for Medicinal Herbs

Along the way, Zhou Jiguo came everywhere to ask her about rice porridge, and Zhou Sining did not hide it, saying that she couldn't eat enough at home, and she had money in her hands, and when she saw someone selling rice, she secretly bought two catties.

The rice is still hidden under the male protagonist's bed, so she can't hide it if she wants to, so she simply recruits it.

"Dabao, I didn't mean that I had to eat alone, but you know our father's and mother's temperament, if they knew that I had money to buy rice to eat, they would definitely not be able to spare me. That is to say, the rice you bought back, it is estimated that our mother will have to find a way to empty the money in your pocket. Zhou Sining looked embarrassed.

Now I'm afraid that the male protagonist will be soft-hearted, if he refuses to eat alone with the Zhou family and his wife, it will be really troublesome. But thinking about this period of time, the buns and meat that he brought back for himself every once in a while, the Zhou family and his wife didn't have it, and it is estimated that the male protagonist should not be so stupid.

Of course, Zhou Jiguo understands this reason, "Don't worry, I don't blame you." You can eat yours with confidence, no one in our family will be hungry except you. In his impression, the eldest sister in the family has never had enough to eat, even if the food is enough, his mother will also get a sentence from time to time, let her eat less and save a few to their brothers, after all, girls are money-losers, and boys are the roots of the old Zhou family.

Zhou Sining was relieved when he heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Well, I listen to Dabao." I'm good at cooking, and my eldest sister will make you something to eat later. ”

"Hmm. "This Zhou Jiguo believes that the eldest sister can conjure up tricks with the rotten sweet potatoes at home, and this craft is really not said.

The two of them chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the back mountain.

Before he could go up the mountain, Zhou Jiguo grabbed the person, pointed to the vegetation on the ground and said, "Sister, look, this is mugwort." ”

"Is this mugwort?" Zhou Sining looked at the plant he was pointing to with some uncertainty.

Although she didn't have any research on Chinese medicinal materials, she still knew the relatively simple vegetation of mugwort and mint, and the mugwort she knew was a little different from what he was referring to.

"This is mugwort, and this is also mugwort. Zhou Jiguo walked a few more steps, and when he saw that there was still something in front of him, he pulled someone to identify her.

This time, Zhou Sining saw the familiar.

"It's a little blind, let me tell you, there are many kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, and there are many types, at the beginning I will refer to you stinky artemisia, this is Artemisia fragrant, all of which belong to a kind of Artemisia annua, but they are different from the form to the taste, and the medicinal value is not the same, people specially told me that the purchase price of this stinky artemisia is higher. Zhou Jiguo explained to her in detail, and also told her the difference between Artemisia annua and Artemisia stinky Artemisia to facilitate her identification in the future.

Zhou Sining nodded as he listened, indicating that he understood. Since the price of the same thing is high and low, she will definitely find this kind of stinky artemisia with a high price in the future.

After Zhou Jiguo introduced her to mugwort, he took her to know peppermint, astragalus, atractylodes, parsnip and bellflower.

"This thing can not only be used as a Chinese medicinal material, but its roots are pickled and eaten as pickles. Zhou Jiguo felt that the saliva in his mouth was a little overflowing as he spoke, to be honest, rebirth back to this time, everything else is easy to say, you can bear it, but there is less food, so that he can't adapt to it, he is already trying to improve his food, and the gap with future generations is still very big.

Zhou Sining had never eaten bellflower pickles, so hearing him say this, she couldn't imagine how delicious it would be to make pickles like tree roots. But the male protagonist's words can't be refuted, she can only say: "Is it so delicious, then wait for me to dig more, you teach me how to make pickles." ”

Zhou Jiguo coughed, "Forget it, this thing can be sold for money, and it's a bit of a waste for us to eat it." "Actually, he can only eat, where can he cook.

Zhou Sining looked at him suspiciously, he didn't see it before, he was such a stingy person.

"Come, let me tell you, the grass on the mountain is not very lush now, so don't cut these mugwort and mint first, and when they are all grown in July and August, you are cutting them properly. I'll teach you, at this time, you look for that kind of perennial medicinal herbs, see it, this must have two or three years, you dig this kind of this month. The kind that is too small has not yet grown, you just dig it out, the roots are not very big, the medicinal effect is poor, and it can't be sold at a high price. "Zhou Jiguo found an astragalus plant.

As he spoke, he squatted down and prepared to demonstrate the process of digging medicinal herbs on the spot. It's just that they didn't bring any tools with them when they came out, and they only had a sickle at home, and he was digging with a sickle now.

Zhou Sining squatted beside him and watched him move seriously, after all, this is related to her future income, and she is extremely serious.

"Let me tell you, this astragalus is a good thing, it has the nickname of blood ginseng, and the old people say, 'Drink astragalus soup often to prevent diseases and protect health'. Astragalus soup is to replenish the body's weakness, I see that you will usually cook some for yourself in the future, there is no harm. As he spoke, he had already dug up this astragalus plant.

"Yes, I'll boil some when I have time after that, and we'll drink together when the time comes. Zhou Sining took the astragalus root and looked at it, but she didn't see anything, but as long as she could sell it for money, she could accept it no matter how ugly and strange it was.

Turning his head, he carefully put the astragalus in his hand into the back basket.

The sister and brother walked around the mountain again, and Zhou Jiguo dug up a plant of every medicinal herb he knew, for fear that the eldest sister would not remember.

Zhou Sining may not have a high IQ, but she has learned extra hard about things that can make money, so after turning around, she basically knows that those weeds can be sold for money.

But no, in her eyes before, these medicinal herbs were useless weeds.

Since they are all on the mountain, and there is a male protagonist following, Zhou Sining must not waste this opportunity, in the gap between Zhou Jiguo's teaching, she hurried up and asked the male protagonist to help her turn over the stones, and when the two of them went down the mountain, in addition to a few Chinese herbs in the back basket, there were more than ten grass cages.

Zhou Sining thought beautifully, this is another income of several yuan, and it is still a great sense of accomplishment to bring the male protagonist to the mountain.

"Eldest sister, do you understand what I said?" Zhou Jiguo looked at the smiling eldest sister with some suspicion, very suspicious of what she said just now, she didn't hear a word.

"Huh, what?" she patronized, and didn't really notice what he said.

Zhou Jiguo sighed, and still took the trouble to repeat what he had just said.

"I said, in the future, you dig medicinal herbs and go home to be careful, it is best to avoid some people, if people see you digging these medicinal materials at home with a basket on your back, I am afraid that this matter will not be hidden sooner or later. ”

"It's easy to say, anyway, I usually go up the mountain by myself, and when I go home, my father and mother haven't come back yet, but don't you say that these things have to be dried, if I don't dry them at home, I can't find a place." Zhou Sining was worried, the most important thing was that he didn't know how to avoid the Zhou family from drying these medicinal materials.
