Chapter 40 Planting Herbs
Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans, plant ginseng, get ginseng, and you will get rich in one fell swoop!
Qin Miaomiao held a medical book and studied for most of the day, and summed up the characteristics of the ginseng growth environment, like light but afraid of strong light, should be humid but afraid of water, Qin Miaomiao dragged her cheeks with one hand, this product is really sick, I like light and am afraid of light, I like water and am afraid of water.
But since you are already ready to plant, you have to stick to the end, and the first thing to do is to get some ginseng seeds.
Qin Miaomiao bought back a handful of ginseng seeds for two taels of silver, one by one dark brown, like a miniature version of coffee beans.
In the wasteland, a sunny and leeward place was selected, a small soil ditch was dug with a wooden shovel, and a layer of finely broken hay was spread at the bottom for ventilation, and then the humus dug under the big tree was carefully paved, and the seeds were neatly arranged in two clusters, in order to save the link of transplanting, and the germination and seedlings could grow directly.
The seeds are neatly arranged, and they are finely and densely covered with a layer of humus mixed with fine sand, and the reason why the fine sand is mixed is also to ventilate and prevent the seeds from rotting in the ground.
This is followed by a long process of germination, how long is this process, it will take through this year's summer, autumn, winter, and next year's spring ginseng seedlings will break through the soil.
So Qin Miaomiao also bought some other fast-growing medicinal herbs such as Astragalus, Angelica Angelica and Niu Xi.
The reason why she bought three kinds is that she calculated the growth cycle, the first harvest will be Niu Xi, followed by astragalus, and finally Angelica dalian, and after these three kinds of medicinal materials have been harvested, it is estimated that it will be the winter of next year, and the ginseng can also be dug up and sold at that time.
It's the end of summer, and Niu Xi can be harvested this winter. Niu Xi bought half an acre of land, which was enough for her and the bean bag to eat for half a year.
In the following days, Qin Miaomiao led the bean bag around the nearby mountains, picking some ordinary medicinal materials, although they are not so rare, but they can also be exchanged for a few copper plates.
The days passed every day, and the bean bag slowly grew from a small milk dog to a half-grown dog, and he had adapted to life in the mountains, and Qin Miaomiao felt that life was not so difficult. At least no one bothered and no one came to look for trouble, and life was very comfortable.
Early in the morning, Qin Miaomiao led the soybean bag into the mountain again, but this time she had other ideas, holding a sharpened bamboo pole, she wanted to hunt some wild things to taste, and she was about to vomit the fish in the small river over there. When the bean bag saw the fish, he ran back and didn't even look at it.
Doubao ran in front of Qin Miaomiao with his tail cocked, and the forest birds flew a lot all the way.
There are also hares and little badgers scurrying around, Qin Miaomiao was a little dissatisfied, and shouted at Doubao: "Doubao, if you make trouble again, I'll stew you!" ”
Doubao stopped, looked back at Qin Miaomiao complainingly, and ran into the grass with his tail between his legs.
Qin Miaomiao continued to search, staring at the grass intently, she heard the sound of Suo Suo in the grass, but the grass and trees were not shaking much, it should be a small wild animal like a rabbit.
The cat clutched the bamboo pole in his hand, slowly moved to the edge of the grass, and gently picked up the messy grass.
Wowhaha, it was really a gray hare grazing there, but the rabbit was very alert, and when Qin Miaomiao opened the grass and looked at it, the rabbit also made eye contact with her.
Almost instantly, the grass in the rabbit's mouth had not been chewed, and he turned around and got into the grass with his cheeks.
The rabbit hadn't run far yet, and was really hit by Qin Miaomiao and squeaked twice, Qin Miaomiao took advantage of the victory to pursue, regardless of the head and tail, and stabbed at the grass, and suddenly felt that he had hit something, and he inserted it harder without letting go.
Sure enough, there was a flutter in the grass, accompanied by the squeak of a hare.
Qin Miaomiao held down the bamboo stick with one hand, and picked up the messy grass with the other hand, the bamboo pole had already pierced the rabbit's hind legs, and there was a blood stain on the grass around it.
Qin Miaomiao didn't delay to grab the hare on the ground, the rabbit is so cute, it must be even cuter to make a braised rabbit.
Stuffed into a cloth bag and thrown into the bamboo basket, Qin Miaomiao planned to look for it again to see if she could pick up a few wild eggs, wild duck eggs or something.
But just a few steps away, I heard the bean bag barking not far away, the bean bag has grown up, and the barking is much louder than before.
Qin Miaomiao heard the bean bag screaming so fiercely, she didn't dare to approach, for fear of encountering a snake or a large wild thing again, so she stood in place and called twice, but she didn't pay attention to the bean bag at all, and still barked.
The angry Qin Miaomiao cursed alone: "Doubao, you really owe it, so you won't come back!" ”
Approaching slowly, she didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that wild animals would rise up and hurt her.
Turning over a hill, I saw Doubao standing in a col, with his neck and tail between his legs, staring at the grass.
Qin Miaomiao stood on the top of the mountain, hiding behind a tree, and shouted at Doubao: "Doubao, come back quickly!" Let's go home! ”
Doubao glanced at Qin Miaomiao and ran towards her, and just a few steps away, the grass it was facing suddenly swayed and sat up alone!
Qin Miaomiao's eyes widened a little as the man sat up, and finally he slipped under his feet in fright and almost tripped under the tree.
The other person was wearing a dark dress, but it had been cut by a knife, one of his sleeves was gone, and the flesh on his chest was turned out, and the bloody look was very scary.
And the man also saw Qin Miaomiao behind the tree, and stretched out his hand to her as if he was saying something, but Qin Miaomiao couldn't hear it clearly when he was too far away.
Seeing the man sitting up, Doubao immediately turned around and ran back, and a few steps away began to bark at the man again.
Qin Miaomiao took a breath of cool air, looking at the person who was seriously injured, presumably he had met a bandit and robber, maybe he was also a robber, she didn't want to care about such a nossy matter, and shouted angrily at Doubao: "Doubao, go quickly, don't disturb people's rest, if you don't leave, I don't want you anymore!" ”
The injured man frowned when he heard Qin Miaomiao's words, and his heart was also broken, it seemed that she was going to die and not be saved, so he took a long breath and shouted with all his strength: "Girl, help, I'm not a bad person!" ”
Qin Miaomiao naturally didn't believe it, turned around and left, the man saw Qin Miaomiao leaving, he hurriedly tore off the waist card on his waist and threw it to the bean bag.
Doubao looked at the waist card on the ground, lowered his head and sniffed, and opened his mouth to chase Qin Miaomiao.
Qin Miaomiao muttered while scolding the bean bag as she walked down the mountain, and suddenly there was movement behind her, and when she looked back, she saw that the bean bag had chased after her, but she still had something in her mouth.
Catching up with Qin Miaomiao, the bean bag stopped in front of Qin Miaomiao, grabbed her waist with her front legs, and handed her the waist card in her mouth.
Qin Miaomiao was hesitant to take it, but after seeing it clearly, the golden workmanship of the discoverer's waist card was quite meticulous.
Now the bandits are so standardized, and they are all equipped with waist cards. Two fingers pinched Su Liu on the waist card and lifted it, and two gilt words 'county order' were engraved on it
Qin Miaomiao's eyes rolled, isn't the county order the county master's waist card? How did you steal it in that person's hands? However, this county order waist card is not golden, it is gilded, worthless, and there is no land to sell stolen goods.
Hey...... Could it be that person is the county master! She has seen the county master twice It is indeed a young man, she was far away just now, and she didn't see her face clearly, could it really be the county master?
It's not that bandits and robbers are injured like this, that is, they encounter bandits and robbers, that is, if they are good people, then they can't die without help.
Qin Miaomiao hesitated in her heart and returned to the mountain, the man was struggling to get up, but he still didn't get up after a lot of effort, and finally fell to the ground.
Qin Miaomiao was sure that the man couldn't get up and couldn't hurt himself, so he trembled closer, stopped ten steps away from him, and asked tentatively, "This waist card is yours?" ”
The man nodded weakly, Qin Miaomiao was still not at ease, although she didn't remember the appearance of the county master very well, but she should feel familiar when she saw it: "You look up, I'll look at you." ”
The man didn't refute either, he raised his head according to his words, Qin Miaomiao took a lot of pain, and felt that he was indeed familiar before approaching the man, but after approaching, he frowned when he saw the knife wounds and the heavy smell of blood all over his body: "My house is nearby, let's go to my house first, and I'll find Langzhong for you." ”
I wanted to dodge and hold on, but the man didn't stand up a few times, and in the end, Qin Miaomiao didn't care about the blood, so she simply put the man's arm on her shoulder, put one hand around his waist, and let him put most of the weight on himself: "Bear with the pain first, you are weak now, otherwise I can't get you home." ”
The man turned his head sideways and looked at Qin Miaomiao, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you girl for saving your life today." ”
Qin Miaomiao finally took the man back to the house half-supported and half-dragged, put him on the bed and didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed out in a hurry.
dragged Su Mu back to the house at a trot, Su Mu entered the house and saw the man frowning: "County master, why are you so seriously injured?" ”
Chen Yuanbo was lying on the bed and weak: "Su Langzhong, I went to the mountains alone and met bandits and was injured by them. ”
Although Su Mu did not delay in speaking, he instructed Qin Miaomiao: "Go and boil the water, the county master, you bear with it first, and I will go to the house to get the medicine." ”
Su Mu wasted a lot of effort to bandage Chen Yuanbo's wound and took Chinese medicine to let Qin Miaomiao boil.
Chen Yuanbo, who had taken the medicine, fell asleep, and Su Mu and Qin Miaomiao sat in the courtyard: "Where did you save him?" Su Mu opened his mouth without being salty. Qin Miaomiao was dizzy from the smell of blood in the room just now, and sat on the side: "On the mountain, back on the mountain." ”
Su Mu glanced at her, unable to see joy and anger: "I'm afraid he won't wake up today." ”
Qin Miaomiao agreed, but suddenly came back to her senses: "He didn't wake up?" That can't go, where can I sleep? ”
Su Mu raised his eyebrows: "You still want to sleep here?" You're going to take care of him all night! What if the wound worsens? ”
Qin Miaomiao pursed her lips and muttered to herself in her heart, "It's really troublesome." But he didn't show it on his face, he just said yes.
