While waiting for the apprentice to grab the medicine, the doctor looked at two more patients, and Siqi had been waiting on the side, but he didn't interject, and when he saw that he was free, he came over.

"Doctor, I want to ask you, is there any Chinese medicine that can kill insects?"

On weekdays, there are also children who accompany adults to see a doctor, and sometimes they will ask him some such questions, the doctor is used to it, and nodded when he heard the words, "Naturally, there is, bitter purlin skin, ground skin, Cnidium monnieri, and many more, these medicines can kill insects, little girl, what are you asking for?" ”

Siqi really doesn't understand these things, the little knowledge she has about traditional Chinese medicine is all learned from her grandmother when she was very young, and she only understands the skin.

At this time, seeing that the doctor was enthusiastic to tell her, she asked again, "These medicines are for people, so if they are powdered or soaked in water to water the ground, can they kill insects for crops?" ”

The doctor was really stopped by her question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he thought about it and said, "Medicinal materials are precious things, and it is not easy to collect medicines, and if they are used to treat diseases and save people, if they are used to water the ground, wouldn't it be a waste?" How many medicinal herbs have to be used to water an acre of land is really not cost-effective. ”

Siqi nodded slightly, it is indeed not cost-effective, she calculated the area of her own sunflower field in her mind, about three acres, grabbed the Chinese medicine decoction water to water the ground, it would cost a lot of medicinal materials, this is not clear whether it is useful or not.

She thought back to how she soaked the seeds when she was doing experiments in her previous life, and suddenly had an idea, and quickly asked the doctor, "If I decoct the herbs to soak the seeds, and then plant the seeds in the ground, will this also reduce the insect infestation?" ”

The doctor has been a doctor since elementary school, he was born in a medical family, and he has never farmed at all, so he really can't answer these questions, he touched his beard, and he didn't feel impatient, he was thinking about it seriously, and then gave an answer.

"According to the pharmacology of the drug, there is this use, that is, I don't dare to make a guarantee, after all, I have never used this method, if you are willing to buy some medicinal herbs at home to try it, to see if it can reduce the pest, don't you know in the future? You can also teach it to others. ”

Siqi smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's what I think, if the adults in the family agree, I'll try it this year, and then I'll come to the doctor to prescribe a prescription for me, grab some medicine and go back to soak the seeds." ”

The two of them chatted vigorously, Lin Changyuan had been taking care of the Wu family, and when he turned around, he found that Siqi was not behind him, he hurriedly came over and pulled Siqi, and said to the doctor with some apologies, "I'm really sorry, this girl in my family just likes to talk and make trouble, and I'm causing you trouble." ”

The doctor smiled, "It's okay, there's free time here and there, this girl of yours is very interesting." ”

After taking the medicine, Lin Changyuan took Wu and Siqi out, bought some things, and found his carriage to go home.

Originally, I wanted to go to Wanyun's house to have a look, but Wu thought about Mrs. Zhou's like that, and felt upset, and didn't want to meet her, so he gave up.

On the way home, Lin Changyuan remembered what had just happened, so he asked Siqi, "Qi'er, what did you just say to the doctor?" I'm glad the doctor was amused by you. ”

Siqi didn't hide it from him, and told him what he just asked, Wu thought about it, "If this Chinese medicine soaked seeds can really make the crops produce fewer insects, it will be worth it, even if it costs some silver." ”

Siqi nodded, "Grandma, the doctor said that I don't know if it's feasible or not, but I want to try it, otherwise let's get some medicinal herbs to come back and soak them this year, some of them have been soaked in potions, and some of them are not used, so let's see which one grows well when the time comes?" ”

"The sunflower seeds were brought back by the fifth uncle from the south, and it was not easy to find, and I asked about it when the fifth uncle came back last time, and those were rare to get before, we can't waste them, if they are planted in the ground but all the insects are pested, and the particles are not harvested, isn't it distressing to death?"

Wu trusted Siqi very much, "Just listen to you, try it when it's time to plant, it doesn't cost much to soak the seeds, and the insecticidal medicinal materials are not valuable." ”

It's almost March in a blink of an eye, and during this time, the family is busy raising seedlings, preparing the seedling field, and when the small seedlings come out, they will start planting seedlings.

When he was working in the fields, someone asked Lin Dezheng, "Lao Lin, did your grandson-in-law participate in the general election last year?" In the end, if you pass the test, if you pass the test, there should be news these days, if you win again this year, you will have two officials in this family, amazing. ”

Lin Dezheng replied with a smile, "How can it be so easy, this reading is not easy, just take your time, don't be in a hurry." ”

He actually didn't think that Chen Ping could pass the first exam, Chen Ping's knowledge is good, Zijun often said at home that when they were in a school, they had to ask Chen Ping for many questions they didn't understand.

Sometimes Mr. Chen is too busy, and Chen Ping has to help teach younger students, but even so, he didn't think that Chen Ping would be successful for the first time, how could it be so easy to take the imperial examination, otherwise wouldn't it be an official everywhere?

The person who asked these words only casually flattered, and he didn't think in his heart that if Chen Ping was really in the middle of the meeting, if there were really two official masters, then the Lin family would have a loud reputation in the entire Anhua Town.

"It's hard to say, your family's fortune has been very prosperous in the past few years, and now you have everything, if there is one more official master, it will be the icing on the cake, and good things will come to your house again."

One person said that there were other people who followed suit, and after a while, everyone in the surrounding area began to talk about it, but everyone was not hopeful.

It's really rare to get in the exam the first time, even if it's the fifth child of the Lin family, it took several exams to get to where he is today, Chen Ping is even younger, even if his father is a gentleman, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he can't be so powerful all of a sudden?

Some of the words were really careless, and I worked in the fields for two or three days, and every day some people said these things, but on the third day someone I didn't know came to the village, and as soon as I entered the village, I asked where Lin Dezheng's house was.

"It's right there, working in the fields, you can just shout in the past, and several of their families are in that field."

The young man nodded, and quickly ran over, making the man behind him inexplicable, and muttered, "What is this for?" In a hurry, with a smile on his face, is it a happy event? ”
