After returning home in the evening, Wang Xiaoling went to the grove behind the house and found a lot of herbs, "hemostatic herbs", "heatstroke herbs", "cold herbs" and "insect repellent herbs", but not as many as in the back mountain, picked some herbs, Wang Xiaoling dried the herbs in the lawn in front of the house.

"Big girl, it's awesome, I know how to pick herbs. Lin saw that the little girl didn't go home in the afternoon, it turned out that she was tinkering with herbs.

"Mother, do you know all this?"

"Of course my mother knows, every family will prepare some of these, and the usual minor illnesses and pains will be boiled to drink, and the eldest girl will be fine if she was sick some time ago and drink this cold medicine! ”

The big girl didn't drink well...... Wang Xiaoling's face was black, and she didn't bother to correct the title problem, it turned out that the Lin family knew these herbs, and she was a doctor for a long time.

"Is that mother literate?"

Lin shook his head and said, "Your two uncles are literate. The eldest uncle runs a grocery store in Willow Town, and the younger uncle runs a small restaurant in Willow Town, and your father is illiterate. ”

If you want to learn to read and write, you can also find an uncle in the town to teach you, and you have to find an opportunity to go to your uncle's house to work as a handyman.

Dr. Wang said, grinding into powder or making pills for preservation, just dry and crush the powder, this is easy, but what if there is no crusher, what kind of grinding medicine is used in this era?

Is it a pill, is it a water pill? It seems that there is a honey pill? There is no honey, and it is made into a pill with rice paste and medicine? It is a pill? It should be enough? I still have to go to Dr. Wang to steal the teacher.

Early the next morning, after Wang Xiaoling finished the chores to be done at the fastest speed, she ran to the back mountain with a firewood knife, quickly picked herbs, and tried to choose better-looking herbs to pick, although she used the fastest speed she could achieve, Wang Xiaoling still took nearly an hour to pick a basket of herbs, weighing up to four or five catties, and the efficiency was far less than cutting pig food.

With a basket of herbs, Wang Xiaoling ran about three kilometers to Dr. Wang's house, where Dr. Wang was drying the herbs she picked yesterday.

"Uncle Wang, thank you for teaching me about herbal medicine yesterday, this is for you. Wang Xiaoling handed him a basket of herbs.

"How can you ask for big herbs, Uncle Wang didn't teach you anything at all, everyone knows these herbs. Dr. Wang waved his hand again and again.

"Uncle Wang, I don't need so many herbs in my family, why don't you teach me how to grind medicinal powder?"

"This ...... Okay, but the grinding powder can only be ground after the herbs are dried, and these herbs have to be dried for three or four days before they can be completely dried, and the big girl will come back then. ”

"Well, Uncle Wang, I'll help you wash and dry the herbs. Without waiting for Dr. Wang's consent, Wang Xiaoling ran away with a basket of herbs.

"This girl is really diligent. Dr. Wang shook his head helplessly.

Trotting all the way to the river, Wang Xiaoling carefully cleaned each herb, when cleaning, removed the bad leaves in the herbs, rotten leaves, and threw away the weeds that were picked by mistake, although she was very careful when picking herbs, but the herbs were still mixed with some weeds.

After washing the herbs after a while, after returning to Dr. Wang's house, in order to make it more convenient to make medicine, Wang Xiaoling sorted the herbs into categories and placed them one by one in the bamboo plate of drying herbs, knowing that dried herbs are not as easy to distinguish as fresh herbs.

"Big girl, you're thirsty, come and drink some water. Aunt Wang greeted Wang Xiaoling in the house.

"Well, thank you, auntie. Wang Xiaoling took the water cup and took a big sip, her eyes lit up, sweet, sweet?

"Auntie, this water is so sweet. ”

"Delicious, aunt with honey. ”

If there is really honey, then you can make honey balls. Wang Xiaoling drank honey water and looked at the room, there was a long wooden table in the room, on which were placed some wooden boxes, clay pots, small gourd bottles, these utensils were pasted with a note, there were words on the note, the same words as ghost drawings, simpler than Chinese characters, but Wang Xiaoling didn't know any of them. It turns out that papermaking has been used, and the characters are still written with a carbon pen.

Aunt Wang saw Wang Xiaoling looking at the bottles and cans in a daze, "These are the utensils that your Uncle Wang used to preserve medicinal materials."

"Really, can medicinal herbs be packed in such a small bottle?" asked Wang Xiaoling, pretending to be stupid and sweet.

"Of course, you can make balls. ”

"Wow, then what kind of balls is this......" After all kinds of shameless pretending to be little children, Wang Xiaoling finally knew what the words on all kinds of boxes and bottles were.

"Hemostatic herb" can be made into hemostatic powder, powder, and some are scattered when bleeding, inhibiting bleeding and accelerating wound healing.

"Insect repellent herbs" can be made into insect repellent powder, powder, sprinkled in the cracks of the house, can prevent mosquitoes, rats, ants, etc., with insect repellent powder, Wang Xiaoling no longer has to worry about insects in the walls of the house. Insect repellent powder is particularly in demand in summer.

"Heatstroke herbs" and "cold-warming herbs" can be made into pills, which can be taken when you are sick due to cold and heat, and the medicine can be used to get rid of the disease. Cold herbs are used relatively rarely, and there are fewer cold herbs here.

In the afternoon, Wang Xiaoling used the excuse of going out to collect firewood, and practiced the words she had learned in the morning on the dirt ground with branches in the back mountain, until she could write it very skillfully, and then wrote it dozens of times before giving up.

It's a pity that Dr. Wang's family can learn too few words, to learn more words, you have to go to your uncle's house, there is paper in this world, and you should be able to buy books in the town, if you can't read, Wang Xiaoling will be blind when she picks up the god-level martial arts cheats (Wang Xiaoling still wants to become a martial arts master).

In the next two days, Wang Xiaoling had another job. Pick a basket full of herbs, wash and dry them for Dr. Wang, and mix them with a familiar face.

Finally, on the day of the pharmaceutical, Wang Xiaoling watched Dr. Wang's pharmaceutical.

Remove problematic herbs first, and throw away problematic herbs such as weeds, insects, and mold;

Remove the rhizome with the herb that has the leaves, and remove the leaves with the herb that has the roots only;

Divide the herbs that have reached the leaves into small pieces with a guillotine.

Thinly slice the herbs that have been used for the roots;

To clean up the grinding boat, the grinding boat used by Dr. Wang's family to grind medicine is made of stone, and the processed herbs are put into the grinding trough and crushed into powder.

It turned out that the grinding boat was used to crush the herbs, which was similar to what Wang Xiaoling imagined.

It felt very simple, and Wang Xiaoling began to help Dr. Wang.

The selection of medicinal materials can be completed as long as you are careful, and the skilled workers can pick them faster. Cutting medicine, with nearly a month of experience in cutting chicken food and pig food, Wang Xiaoling is still very fast to get started, the guillotine knife and herbs are more labor-saving than cutting, the principle of leverage, the ancients are still quite powerful.

Grinding medicine, can't be in a hurry, take your time, you can't put too much at a time, it will be more difficult to grind into powder, Wang Xiaoling is like a child who has got a new toy, and has enough patience to grind it well. After more than half a day of hard work, Wang Xiaoling finally learned to make pharmaceutical powder.
