Chapter 16: Silver
In the busy day, time flies, and the piece of bellflower that was dug before is cleaned up and dried.
She also kept a small plate of fresh bellflower salad to try. Fresh bellflower should be soaked in water for a day to remove the skin.
Then peel and tear into fine shreds, continue to soak the torn bellflower silk for half a day, and finally pour out the water and add a large spoon of salt to rub it repeatedly, which can remove the astringency of the fresh bellflower.
Because the seasoning is not complete, simply mix it with salt, small garlic and shredded chili peppers.
It tastes pretty good! I haven't eaten it for too long, I miss it!
Of course, I can't forget Duoduo if I have something to eat, it is more than two months old, and I can eat anything.
I boiled a pot of Li rice porridge and bellflower pickles, put out my own share, and added chicken liver and rabbit liver to the remaining porridge with minced meat, blanched and added a little salt to it to eat.
Duoduo is getting bigger and bigger and more and more edible, and he can't afford to feed it with meat, so he can only add rice and grain to cook it together.
Fortunately, it's not a picky eater, so it's still fragrant!
Today is the time of the big set, Pei Yao not only carried the pheasant and hare as usual, but also hung a bundle of dried cassia herbs on the basket.
Pei Yao doesn't know many herbs, but they are all commonly used in the countryside and mountains.
This cassia grass is mainly used to reduce inflammation, that is, after the wound is inflamed, this grass is used to boil water and drink, and the effect is very good.
In the previous life, this kind of grass was rare in the mountains of my hometown, and it could not be planted artificially, so it was all wild, and there was no circulation on the market.
After all, in the previous life, medical care was developed, and those who were sick and in pain went to the hospital to get a shot of Western medicine, who still drank traditional Chinese medicine.
In her hometown, this medicine is very famous in a small area, and it is more effective than injections and has few side effects.
Seeing that there are many of this cassia grass on the gentle slope mountain, the last time I went to Jishang Pei Yao, I brought a handful of fresh ones, and showed it to the doctor sitting in the pharmacy in the town by the water, and the old doctor was quite excited when he saw it, so he stood up and grabbed the herb and observed it carefully.
The apex is green with seeds, dark green peach-shaped leaves, and the branches are dark green and resemble the schisandra schisandra, but they do not need to be wrapped around other objects to grow, and can grow for up to 5 to 6 years.
It's OK that this is the focus of the official bounty on the military herb!
The old doctor asked her to cut off the roots and dry them for him, and she wanted as many as she wanted.
Where is there no war in such years, after all, civilization is not developed enough. Not to mention that the barbaric area in the north of Dafeng Country is still at war, let's just say that it is near, this city and countryside, by the board, family law, accidents in the mountains and forests when encountering wild beasts, and even working in the fields and being injured are not a few, in fact, no matter where the medicine is cheap, depending on the scarcity and the price.
Therefore, this herb is better than lacking, and more is better!
Rushed to the set, the first stop was Wild Meat Zhai, I saw that the second brother Li delivered the goods, and agreed to go straight to the pharmacy when the next big set came.
The old doctor at the pharmacy happened to have an emergency and went out for a while in the morning.
Pei Yao told the apprentice who grabbed the medicine that she had made an appointment with the old doctor, so she put a large bundle of herbs on the ground in front of her legs, sat on the chair in the hall and waited.
The apprentice saw that she was not in a hurry to see a doctor, and that she was obviously here to sell herbs, so he ignored her and went straight to his own business.
After waiting for about half an hour, the old doctor came back with a small medicine box. Seeing Pei Yao sitting in the shop, she obviously recognized her, hurriedly put down the small medicine box, and beckoned her: "Come, little poster, bring me the herbs to the backyard." ”
Pei Yao stood up and picked up the herbs and the basket and followed the old doctor. Walking through the side of the pharmacy, there is a curtain door not far away.
When I lifted the curtain, I saw that a small courtyard was full of wooden shelves of rattan trays and rattan trays of herbs.
It looks similar to the backyard of the pharmacy in the TV series, and it really comes from life! Pei Yao thought a little distracted.
"Come, little offspring, you put the herbs here for me." The old doctor pointed to a blanket on the ground and said.
Putting down the herbs, the old doctor untied the straw rope that tied the herbs, spread them out on the blanket from the top to both sides, and saw that the middle of the herbs was also clean and clean, without weeds and soil, and one by one neatly and neatly, and took out a herb from the middle and simply broke it, which was dry enough.
The old doctor clapped his hands and stood up, and said to Pei Yao, "Not bad! At first glance, you have taken care of it very carefully, and it is of a good grade! I'll count you a pound of silver. Continue to: "This kind of herb is only dried up, and the messy ones with grass and soil are not taken care of, and they are divided into medium and low grades depending on the situation, of course, it is cheaper." ”
Pei Yao nodded and thanked clearly: "Thank you, Doctor Chang!" "This grade is all up to the doctor, so it doesn't hurt to be polite.
After speaking, the old doctor turned around and went to the house to get the scales and a bundle of fine cloth, and weighed a small bundle of herbs: "Two catties and one tael." ”
Learning from the old doctor's practice, Pei Yao quickly bundled the rest into three small bundles. The old doctor looked at her and nodded in satisfaction.
After weighing a total of four bundles of herbs, a total of 8 catties and 4 taels 9, the old doctor touched his chin and beard and gave Pei Yao 8 taels and 5 yuan of silver, and asked her to get more herbs and send them over.
Pei Yao thanked her again and again, and said that she would send it as soon as possible.
Out of the pharmacy, Pei Yao thought to herself, can you not send it, silver!
