Chapter 386: Preparations Before Departure
Shen Ya didn't know how long it would take to go to Lujia Village this time, so she prepared as many things as she could. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoShe still remembers the painful experience from Lujia Village to the capital, the bumpy road, the tiring journey, and the exhaustion of several of them, this is not a joke, improper preparation, it will be very hard.
In ancient times, it was not as convenient as in modern times, and the transportation was so convenient that it was now possible to take a plane in a day at most, and in ancient times, it would take at least more than a month to take a carriage.
Lujia Village is located in the southernmost place of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is not ordinary far from here.
She really didn't want to suffer like she did last time.
And Shen Ya always felt that Zhao Jin would definitely not take the official road when he went to Lujia Village this time, after all, it was too eye-catching, so it was safer to choose the trail.
If she doesn't prepare her things, she will wait to sleep on the grass at night and be harassed by mosquitoes, snakes, insects, rats and ants.
She has been refining a perfume for the past two days, similar to modern toilet water, which is scented on her body and can also repel snakes, insects, rats and ants.
It is now early summer, and although the weather is not very hot, there are gradually more snakes, insects, rats and ants. Refine some mosquito repellent medicines, pack them in small bottles, and distribute some to each accompanying person, so that everyone doesn't have to work so hard.
I was busy with two maids and Mama Duan in the yard for a whole morning. There were several boxes of messy things.
At this time, Shen Ya was looking forward to the cheerful life on the way to Lujia Village, and she would not have thought about how many risks she would encounter when she went to Lujia Village.
After being busy and having lunch, Shen Ya wrote a letter to Beixia seriously in front of her desk.
The last time I came down to the north, I wrote that if Puji Pharmacy could no longer provide pills, it would be closed, and asked her if she still wanted to open a pharmacy, and if she didn't want to open it, she would make it clear as soon as possible, his time was very precious, and he didn't have time to spend in the pharmacy every day. The words were quite intense, and Shen Ya felt embarrassed to see it, it was the first time she had seen Beixia so excited. The words that can be written in a letter are so intense, you can imagine how angry he was when he wrote this letter.
Carefully calculate the days, Shen Ya has indeed not sent medicine to Puji Pharmacy for nearly two months, and the relationship with Zhao Jin has been heating up recently, he will come to his side to sleep every day, and she has no time to make pills, only a little time in the morning every day, secretly refining some, and finally accumulated a certain amount today, she plans to let Dongchun send the medicine over.
Shen Ya also prepared an antidote pill and put it in another box, and asked Dongchun to send it to Beixia together. Last time, she refined a total of three, and kept them by her side and never touched them. This time he made Beixia suffer such a big grievance, he always had to repay it, and by the way, he appeased his emotions.
Shen Ya had already seen Beixia for the first time, and the moment she took out the antidote pill, she noticed that Beixia was very interested in this pill, so she made a personal favor this time and gave him the pill, after all, it was really embarrassing to let him help her see the empty store that had no business for two whole months.
She took the envelope and the baggage containing the pills and antidote pills to the backyard.
Dongchun has been soaking in the backyard recently, except for the work Shen Ya ordered, sorting out the medicinal materials she had dried before.
She carved out a large open space in the backyard for drying medicinal herbs. Since Dongchun began to study medicine with her, he offered to help her sort out the medicinal materials.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a broad and profound science, and the production of medicinal materials also needs to be very particular. For example, some herbs need to be processed to reduce toxicity, some need to be dried in the shade, and some herbs need to be dried and stored in the sun because they are not common throughout the year.
Of course, in fact, the best medicinal effect is still fresh and processed medicinal herbs. How much the dried herbs will affect the efficacy of the medicine.
When she first picked up the snowball, what made Shen Ya feel the most incredible was that the medicinal materials in the snowball's pocket were all fresh, just like a natural fresh-keeping bag.
It's a pity that Xueqiu is now in a coma, otherwise Shen Ya can put some more precious medicinal materials in its pocket and let it help preserve it.
But......
Shen Ya looked at the bamboo basket in the backyard, a bamboo basket of medicinal herbs, and knew in her heart that she couldn't always rely on the snowball, and one day, the snowball would leave her. And she also needs to learn to ensure that all kinds of medicinal materials around her are sufficient when Xueqiu is not there.
However, as soon as Shen Ya thought that the snowball was very open, she was about to leave her, and she was so distressed that she even felt a little uncomfortable breathing. It's like a very close, very close relative wants to be separated from him forever, and that kind of feeling is really difficult to describe in words.
"Miss?" Dongchun took a book of herbs and read it, while silently remembering the herbs in his hand, just sorted out a box, and turned his head to see Shen Ya standing at the gate of the courtyard in a daze.
So he walked over and patted her, "Miss, what are you thinking?" ā
Shen Ya came back to her senses and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I saw you discerning herbs so seriously, and I remembered something." How do you recognize herbs, and if you don't understand something, remember to ask more. ā
"Well, Dongchun just has a herb I want to ask Miss. There doesn't seem to be a record in the book of this medicine, Miss, what kind of medicine is this? Dongchun picked up the freshly dried green herbs in his hand and asked.
Shen Ya glanced at it and said with a smile: "This is a defeated sauce grass, also known as bitter vegetables, which mostly grows in hillside grasslands and other places, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling stasis and detoxifying." By the way, this herb is very helpful for women who are pregnant and have a miscarriage, and can help them quickly remove blood congestion from the body. Of course, this herb alone is not enough, it has to be combined with several other herbs to have a good effect. ā
Dongchun curiously took the herbs in her hand and looked at it for a long time, although it was not recorded in the book, but what the young lady said was easy to understand, and she quickly understood.
Seeing that Dongchun was so interested in herbs and studied them so seriously, Shen Ya was happy from the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but say again: "You learn to memorize these medicinal materials first, and when you are all familiar with them, I will teach you how to dispense and refine medicines." ā
"Thank you, Miss!" Dongchun heard Miss say this, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She felt that it was her greatest blessing to meet Miss in this life.
"What's so polite to your young lady. By the way, you can put the herbs aside for now, and I'll give you a task. Shen Ya took the letter in her hand to her, replaced the backpack on her back for Dongchun, and then leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
"Dongchun knows, let's do it." Dongchun took the burden that Shen Ya gave her, carefully hid the letter in her sleeve, and retreated to do the task assigned by Shen Ya. (To be continued.) )
