During this period, Yingniang took the women up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger and reduce the logistical pressure.

But the wild vegetables are too unpalatable, and the man who feels sorry for his daughter-in-law often keeps some of the food he eats and secretly takes it home.

The women with more strength even went to the steamed bun kiln to burn the bricks of the city wall.

Gradually, not many people are willing to go up the mountain with Yingniang.

However, Yingniang never told her husband about this, nor did she give up going up the mountain.

After all, between husband and wife, there are some things that don't have to be said too clearly.

"After the new city is built, we will go back to Jinzhou City."

Yang Chengying felt sulk in his heart, and couldn't help but say a lie to comfort Yingniang.

Once the new city is repaired, how can he withdraw and return to Golden State.

When Yingniang heard this, she sneered: "You are really a small family, and I have a share of credit for building such a big city."

You didn't let me stay, and you wanted to take the credit for yourself.

Hum! I don't. ”

Obviously, Yingniang knew that her husband was lying, but instead of getting angry, she teased her husband.

Because it was the husband who felt remorseful that he said something insincere.

Hearing Yingniang's words, Yang Chengying laughed and quickly apologized to Yingniang.

The young couple was newlywed after a long absence, and they were chatting hotly, when suddenly a strange voice sounded.

Buzz Buzz......

It's the sound of mosquitoes.

Several mosquitoes hovered not far away, seemingly looking for a target.

Yingniang stretched out her hand and slapped it hard, and it was not surprising that she slapped it empty.

The mosquito turned around and ran away!

"These damn mosquitoes, they're very poisonous. Take a bite on a person and pick up a big bag. ”

Yingniang pouted and said helplessly.

Mosquito?

Yang Chengying remembered the health knowledge he learned in his previous life, and many diseases were caused by these mosquitoes.

Previously, in order to survive, they focused on developing the military; Now, since external problems cannot come for the time being, it is time to improve the quality of life.

The first step is to start with mosquito repellent!

"Come on, please come to me."

"Yes."

Lao Jiang is a doctor in the army, and Yang Chengying sent Gongsun Sheng to invite him.

Soon, a middle-aged Confucian with black and white hair, with a wooden medicine box hanging on his shoulder, came to the front with Gongsun Sheng.

Yang Chengying had finished eating at this time and was sitting outside the tent, when he saw Lao Jiang coming, he asked the guards to show him a seat.

"General Xie."

After Lao Jiang sat down, he asked, "The general summoned the villain to come, what is the matter?" ”

"Do you have mugwort leaves, atractylodes and turtle armor in your hands?"

Yang Chengying asked.

"Yes." Lao Jiang changed his words, "Although these three things are easy to obtain, there are not many villains here, and most of them are in Golden State." ”

That's it!

Yang Chengying turned his head and looked at Gongsun Sheng: "You led some of the guards back to Jinzhou and transported these three materials."

At the same time, tell Mr. Ning, who stayed behind, to tell him to prepare more of these medicinal materials, and you will transport them after a while. ”

Gongsun Sheng was a little confused.

The general's order, he naturally carried it out without discount.

However, it is a bit strange that the things in charge of transporting are neither grain nor valuables such as gold and silver, but medicinal herbs that are very common in the three flavors.

"I have a lot of use for these medicinal materials, and when you bring them back, I'll know what's going on."

Yang Chengying saw it, but he still wanted to sell it.

After all, I still have to experiment, and if I succeed, I have the capital to brag. If you don't succeed, you won't be embarrassed in front of your subordinates.

"Order."

Gongsun Sheng retreated, dispatched soldiers, and transported medicinal materials.

After he left, Lao Jiang, who had not spoken, frowned and asked, "General, what are you going to do with these medicinal herbs?" Please forgive the villain for not being able to see it. ”

"Mosquito repellent."

For Lao Jiang, Yang Chengying does not plan to sell Guanzi.

It is also up to him to provide the raw materials.

Old Jiang suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case." But General, we don't have a place to get honey. ”

According to the mosquito repellent method recorded in the medical book, one pound of atractylodes, two halves of wood turtle and realgar are ground together and then bonded into balls the size of marbles with honey.

Burn a pill under the bed or in a place where there are many mosquitoes, and you can smoke off mosquitoes.

Yang Chengying shook his head: "I don't plan to use honey, it's too expensive." I will distribute it to the people who live here, and I will use it if it is too expensive. ”

"The general's heart is for the people, and it is really a blessing for the people."

Lao Jiang was a sycophant, which made Yang Chengying look embarrassed.

It's just mosquito repellent, how can you still give me a rise in height?

"Eh, you give me some atractylodes, mugwort leaves and turtle shells, and I'll experiment first."

Yang Chengying urged.

"The villain obeys."

Lao Jiang opened the medicine box and rummaged through it, before he said, "The villain didn't bring it, so I'll go back and get it." ”

"Well, go and get back."

Yang Chengying waved his hand.

"Yes." Old Jiang walked away quickly.

Soon after, I came back with these three flavor medicines.

Yang Chengying began to make his own mosquito coils.

First, the atractylodes and turtle shells are pounded into powder with a pounding medicine jar, and then the weight ratio of mugwort leaves, atractylodes and turtle shells is 3:2:1.

In this proportion, knead evenly so that the powder is fully integrated into the mugwort leaves.

Finally, take out a part and roll it into a small conical tower.

After waiting for a while, it feels almost done, take it into the tent, and under the gaze of Yingniang and Lao Jiang, light it with flint and steel.

A somewhat pungent smell came from the burning.

The three of them subconsciously covered their noses with their hands.

After a while, the mosquitoes that were buzzing either fell to the ground or ran away.

Three-flavor medicinal materials, mugwort leaves can repel insects and mosquitoes, antibacterial and anti-virus, and purify the air;

Atractylodes can effectively kill all kinds of bacteria in the air during the combustion process;

Turtle carapace has the effect of eliminating spleen, dispersing blood congestion, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and has the effect of health preservation.

"It's really useful, don't be afraid at night."

Yingniang clapped her hands happily.

Lao Jiang also said excitedly: "Although the general's talent is not as good as Zhuge Wuhou, he is really a pillar of the country!" ”

Forehead...... Again!

"If you want to do this again, I'll cut you."

Yang Chengying was unmoved and said with a straight face.

Lao Jiang naturally knew that the general would not come, so he smiled awkwardly: "Get used to it, the villain will pay attention next time." ”

"Bring mugwort leaves, atractylodes, and turtle shells, and we will make our own mosquito coils."

Yang Chengying commanded.

"Yes. But there aren't so many villains here, except for Atractylodes. ”

Lao Jiang was a little embarrassed.

Yang Chengying thought for a while, turned his head to Yingniang and said, "Madam, go and call all the women who have been following you up the mountain to dig wild vegetables for a long time, and let Lao Jiang teach them to distinguish mugwort leaves." ”

"What does Artemisia do?"

Ying Niang looked confused.

"Of course, I went up to the mountains to pick it."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "I pay them wages and provide them with a Chinese meal." They made mosquito coils from the mugwort leaves they picked together with atractylodes and turtle shells. ”

"Didn't Dr. Jiang just say that there are not enough turtle shells?"

Ying Niang figured it out and immediately asked a question.

"You can use fishbones instead."

Yang Chengying said, "I can order all the fish bones to be collected and dried." After that, you go from house to house to collect the bones and bring them back to dry.

When mosquito coils are made, priority will be given to these female workers, then to the families of the soldiers, and then to the people. ”

Yingniang was instantly moved, this is her husband establishing authority for her.

She immediately went to fetch the women who had gone up the mountain with her.
