Chapter 127: Difficulty
Star fruit stayed up all night, and the next day it was bright before she yawned and closed the book. didn't care about eating, so he packed up his books and medicine box and rushed to the county seat.
The appointment is a pharmacy in the county seat, and the road is far away; It's the first time I've met Uncle Zhou again, and I must not be rude to let the other party wait.
The star fruit ran out of smoke for a long time, and Ye Shi still chased after him with a pancake: "Take a cake to eat on the road, stay up all night and don't eat breakfast, where can your body stand it?" ”
"When I go to the county, there are more shops over there, so I can be hungry wherever I go." Carambola urged her mother to go back, and she also ran away: Uncle Zhang's ox cart was about to leave just after the hour, and it would be too late to catch up.
"When you get to the pharmacy, can you still think of eating it?" Ye Shi didn't follow, took the cake and insisted on chasing: "You wait, I won't delay much time if I send it to you." ”
couldn't persuade her mother, star fruit was stomping her feet for a rare occasion, and it happened that Yang Miao chased after her from behind, took the cake in Ye's hand, and chased after the star fruit: "Third sister, you wait for me, you said you would take me with you." ”
Carambola was a little confused, and when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she had really promised to take Yang Miao with her today?
In fact, the medicinal materials have not been entered, and the shop has not yet opened. She was going to be embarrassed by her uncle today, and by the way, she discussed the matter of opening a mountain and planting medicine. Yang Miao followed, but she really couldn't learn anything.
But who allowed himself to say yes? Star fruit was in a hurry, but had to stop and wait.
Yang Miao panted and chased after her and handed her the cake, but her face was a little unhappy: "They all said that they would go together, why did the third sister leave quietly by herself?" ”
"I'm in a hurry, I forgot when I was in a hurry, my good sister can't worry about me in this little thing."
Yang Miao affectionately grabbed her arm, and said with a coquettish smile: "Spare you once, you won't be allowed next time." ”
The two sisters hurried to catch up or missed the car, but fortunately, the car had not gone far, and the villagers also enthusiastically shouted to help them wait, and finally stopped the ox cart.
The moment she got in the car, Yang Miao felt guilty in her heart: "If you don't wait for me, you may be able to catch up." ”
Carambola smiled and didn't refute: "Next time, let's all go early." ”
The ox cart was slow, and when it arrived in the town, it turned the carriage again, and when it staggered to the county pharmacy, Zhao Wenying waited at the door for a long time.
Seeing star fruit coming, he hurriedly caught up with the medicine box, and said hurriedly: "My good sister, why did you come here after this time?" Uncle Zhou waited for most of the hour, and turned over several medicine books, and took a look at them carefully, but now he just cares about turning them back and forth. It's impatient to think about. ”
Carambola couldn't help but shrink her neck: "It seems that the road ahead is not easy." ”
"Ask for your own blessings!"
Zhao Wenying's eyes glanced at Yang Miao, and her worried expression became two points stronger. He walked up to the star fruit and lowered his voice, "Why did you bring her?" Uncle Zhou is not good at seeing people, and he doesn't like to see women who wear heavy makeup and show off their flowers at every turn. ”
Star fruit was stunned, and her forehead was full of cold sweat: this, it's ruined!
She glanced at Yang Miao, her clothes were a little brighter, and her eyebrows were a little darker. But this has nothing to do with heavy makeup and showmanship, right?
In any case, when people arrive at the door, there is no reason not to let them in.
Carambola raised her eyebrows and smiled, and led Yang Miao in.
Uncle Zhou was really impatient, and when he saw Zhao Wenying leading two women in, his brows furrowed even more unhappily.
Carambola stepped forward and saluted: "Apprentice star fruit, I've seen Uncle Zhou." ”
Uncle Zhou glanced at Yang Miao, looking a little displeased. I don't know if it's because I've waited too long, or if I've seen someone I don't like. In short, he only flipped through the book impatiently, did not take the stubble of star fruit, and did not let her get up without being polite.
Star fruit is half-squatting, and the scene is a little awkward.
Fortunately, Zhao Wenying had eyes, and hurriedly pulled Yang Miao to the backyard: "Daddy is tidying up the medicine stove in the backyard, let's go over to help first." Uncle Shi, you and Sister Carambola have a good chat, so I won't bother when I wait. ”
Seeing Uncle Zhou's style, Yang Miao also knew that he was a powerful character. She wants to meet people who have the ability to make herself a capable person. So, she was reluctant to go.
Uncle Zhou doesn't like star fruit, maybe he can like himself?
Zhao Wenying couldn't help but pull her away, and Zhou Wenying slapped her nose with her hand: "At a young age, the smell of fat powder is so strong." Good eyebrows and face, I can't draw it well. ”
Star fruit is really glad that she doesn't have the habit of wearing makeup, if she hadn't said anything else, this uncle would have classified her as a nasty crowd first.
Of course, she didn't approve of Uncle Zhou's evaluation of Yang Miao and his attitude towards makeup.
But she didn't dare to say anything!
"Wen Ying sent you the medicine book, but you have finished reading it?" Without waiting for the star fruit to answer, he said to himself again: "After reading those books, tell me what opinions you have." ”
Carambola peeked at the goatee on Uncle Zhou's slender chin, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat: she fought all night, and she could only read a book, where could she say so many insights?
After squatting for a long time, star fruit's legs were numb. But Master Zhou didn't let her go, and she could only squat.
"What, can't tell?" Master Zhou paused the teacup on the table, and his eyes were about to get angry: "I praised you for being diligent and studious, but it turned out that you were no more than ......"
"I didn't finish it!"
Carambola tried to lift her waist to relieve the pressure on her legs, and then replied methodically: "Time is pressing, disciples don't dare to be greedy and want to read all the books." Therefore, I only browsed it first, and then made a rough plan according to the specific situation of Liumian Mountain.
I also asked Uncle Zhou to listen to the disciple's plan first, and I hope that Uncle Zhou will give you advice. ”
There were three days and two nights, five or six books, and Uncle Zhou didn't expect her to finish them. Now I see that the star fruit has its own plan in my heart, and I am still quite satisfied in my heart.
Despite this, he still kept his face black and did not speak.
Seeing that he didn't object, the star fruit didn't care about him, and said to himself: "The ground at the foot of the mountain is gentle and flat, the soil is not barren, and it is more convenient to water and fertilize." I thought of planting some herbs such as banyan root, honeysuckle, forsythia, and bupleurum.
These medicinal materials were originally produced in Shuzhou, and it is not difficult to plant, and the yield can be guaranteed. It is mostly used for wind heat and wind cold, clearing heat and detoxifying. If some people take it home, even if the usage and dosage are not proper, they will not be able to eat bad people. ”
Uncle Zhou originally brought a teacup to drink water, but when he heard the words of star fruit, his hand paused in the air, and there was some interest between his eyebrows.
Seeing that he was listening carefully, star fruit continued: "Halfway up the mountain, gastrodia, shouwu, salvia, Chuanbei eucommia and other things can be widely planted. Originally, these herbs also liked to grow in gentle slope areas, as long as the soil conditions are not too bad, not too dry, and with careful care, they should be able to regrow.
Among them, Gastrodia likes moist soil, and watering is estimated to be frequent, so someone has to take care of it. ”
Master Zhou took a sip of tea, and when he put the tea cup back on the desk, his expression eased: "What about the high mountains?" What do you want to plant?"
"Ginseng and cordyceps."
Looking at Uncle Zhou's surprised look, star fruit patiently explained: "The ginseng in Shuzhou is not only expensive, but also the color and quality are not very good. Ordinary people can't afford to use it, so they buy ginseng with all their wealth in order to save their lives, and the effect is not satisfactory.
The tonic effect of Cordyceps sinensis is particularly obvious, and it has a significant effect on coughing up blood and other diseases. It is especially effective for post-illness weakness. If I can successfully grow them, I will be able to produce them on a measured basis. That will go a long way in prolonging the lives of our people. ”
"Although both ginseng and cordyceps grow in high mountains, they both prefer a cool, humid climate. But ginseng almost does not grow in Shudi, although Cordyceps sinensis can be seen occasionally, but the quality is not good, and the production can be directly ignored.
These two things are precious and abnormal, ginseng is mostly in the eastern Liaoning region, and it is already difficult to find a seedling, and it is easy to plant it successfully? ”
"Speaking of cordyceps, I haven't seen anyone grow it alive so far. It's hard to find finished products, let alone seedlings. You don't even have seedlings, so why don't you plant them? What about production? ”
Star fruit's legs were numb and began to tremble, but she still tried her best to restrain herself, and then tried her best to explain in an elegant and steady tone: "The medicinal materials planted at the foot of the mountain are easy to survive and produce, and relying on them, the people's minor illnesses and disasters can basically be resolved." The silver taels produced can also basically ensure the entire seed input in the second year. ”
"The survival of medicinal herbs grown in the mid-levels may not be too high, and the output may not be too good. But it has more economic value, and many incurable diseases can also be effective. As long as half of the seeds planted each year survive and harvest. The whole mountain can be planted and maintained.
If we can produce more, we can still make a lot of money. If I make a profit, I will be able to find a way to grow ginseng and cordyceps. If it succeeds, that's the best; If it can't be successful, the contribution to the medicinal materials of the entire Shuzhou is also considerable, and it will not have much impact. ”
The low, medium and high-end are all taken into account, and Uncle Zhou doesn't seem to have anything to find fault with. Before Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, who could know which grasses would cure diseases and which grasses would be fatal? If you don't try and work hard, can we be sure that Shu Governor can't grow ginseng and cordyceps?
"Get up and sit down!" Uncle Zhou finally relented, and then said: "I have written down what you said, and I will personally go to Liumian Mountain to take a look, and we will discuss the medicinal materials according to the actual conditions." ”
Carambola almost fell when she got up, and she sat down on the chair with her legs on her feet, resisting the desire to pinch her legs.
Master Zhou saw her expression and movements in his eyes, and his heart was ten thousand satisfied.
He is about to give star fruit a focus on the planting points of several medicinal herbs, and the specific requirements for soil, weather and environment. A burst of rich fat powder fragrance came to his face, which made him frown, and it took a lot of effort to endure it without covering his mouth and nose with his hands.
After a while, I saw Yang Miao coming in from the backyard, and handed the fruit tea to Uncle Zhou with a smile: "Uncle try this, I specially added hawthorn and jasmine, which is fragrant and appetizing." ”
As soon as she got closer, Uncle Zhou couldn't help coughing, and his face became a little more ugly.
Star fruit was afraid that Uncle Zhou would say something unpleasant, so she hurriedly took the cup that Yang Miao had made for herself, and then pushed her away: "It's time to prepare lunch, I'm tired of the second sister and Wen Ying to go buy some food together, and also help make lunch, okay?" ”
Seeing that Yang Miao didn't seem to want to leave, Carambola had to explain further: "Uncle Zhou is going to Liumian Mountain in two days to have a look on the spot, and I am discussing how to open the mountain, but I really can't leave." ”
