Chapter 369: Uses of Wormwood

"I'm sorry, everyone, the post station has the rules of the post station, and anyone who stays at the post station must register their identity information, as well as your guide, please show me too."

The stationmaster arched his hand and said.

That's his job, his duty.

Li Jing came out this time to investigate the bandits in Liangzhou, which was a private visit to Weifu, and it was not suitable to reveal his identity, so he had to let the guards solve it.

The guard stepped forward, quietly lifted his robe, showed the waist tag around his waist, and then quickly lowered his robe and covered the waist tag.

The stationmaster was taken aback!

Although, they didn't see clearly what was written on the other party's waist card, but they saw the word Qianniu on it, and the identity of the other party was obviously Qianniuwei.

Qianniuwei, that is the emperor's bodyguard, the main duty is to protect the emperor's personal safety.

"My general, by the will of the Holy Lord, will carry out a secret mission, and must not reveal our whereabouts, otherwise, we can only be killed!"

The guard lowered his voice and warned the stationmaster not to talk nonsense, and did not forget to pull out his saber two inches when he was about to threaten the other party.

The post chief glanced at the blade that exuded cold light, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

"The little one understands, and this arranges accommodation and food for everyone."

The post manager hurriedly nodded in response, and personally arranged a residence for Li Jing and the others and arranged a meal.

"Everyone, please use it slowly, if you have any orders, I will be there with you."

After the post manager finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Li Jing stopped him at this time.

"Wait a minute!"

"I wonder what Childe commands?"

The stationmaster stopped and asked.

"Do you have wormwood here?"

Li Jing asked the post manager if he had wormwood here, which was a good thing to repel mosquitoes.

"Yes, but not much, if Childe needs it, I can give you some."

"I want a lot of it, if you only have a little here, I'm afraid it won't be enough, you have wild wormwood around here?"

Li Jing shook his head, the amount he needed was very large, the wormwood at the post station was not enough at all, if there was a wild one nearby, it would not delay collecting it.

"Yes, it's not far from here, there's a big patch of wormwood there, and if Childe wants it, I'll take someone over and pick those wormwoods back."

The stationmaster said respectfully, with a smile on his face.

But he was thinking in his heart, how could he climb the relationship with Li Jing, and when he was dispatched away in the future, maybe there would be a good place to go.

He wanted to take this opportunity to invest in Li Jing and take the opportunity to get on the big ship of Li Jing.

"Then there will be labor, I am worried that you will not have enough manpower, I will send you a few more people to pick wormwood with you."

Li Jing did not doubt the ability of the post manager, but that there was one more person and more strength, so that the efficiency would be higher.

The stationmaster nodded in agreement, and took Li Jing's people to pick wormwood.

Two hours later, the post station chief and others, each with a large amount of wormwood, Li Jing and others heard the movement and walked out of the house.

"Childe, this is wormwood, have you seen enough?"

Putting down the wormwood, the post manager patted the dust and grass clippings on his body, and then walked to Li Jing, bowed, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wormwood behind him, and intimately asked Li Jing if it was enough.

If it wasn't enough, he could look elsewhere, and he could still find it.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, these wormwoods are enough, thank you!"

Li Jing nodded and said, these wormwoods are made into mosquito coils, or mosquito repellent sachets, etc., which are enough for them to use in Liangzhou.

"It's good that Childe is satisfied, if there is nothing to order, then I won't bother."

The post chief arched his hand.

Li Jing nodded slightly, and the post manager said goodbye and left.

"Childe, aren't these wormwoods used to ward off evil spirits and dispel dampness and cold?"

The chamberlain wondered.

"Don't you always complain that mosquitoes are too poisonous, with these wormwood, you don't have to be afraid of mosquitoes anymore, wormwood can not only ward off evil spirits, but also repel mosquitoes!"

Li Jing gave the inner servant the effect of wormwood, the ancients were a little superstitious, and felt that wormwood had the effect of warding off evil spirits, and the dried wormwood was used to bathe and fumigation to relieve itching, but they didn't know that it also had the effect of repelling mosquitoes.

"Wormwood can still repel mosquitoes?"

The waiter was surprised, wormwood can repel mosquitoes, this is the first time he has heard of it, before, why did no one say that wormwood can also repel mosquitoes?

"Order someone to set up a cauldron and boil some wormwood water for everyone to bathe, which can relieve itching, you should know this! I'll keep the rest of the wormwood, and I'll be of great use. ”

Li Jing instructed the attendant to ask someone to boil wormwood water for a bath, and the itchy place that had been bitten by mosquitoes could be disinfected and relieved of itching.

The waiter nodded, he still knew that wormwood water could stop itching.

The attendant took some wormwood, set up a large pot in the open space, and put the wormwood in it and boiled it with water.

The boiled wormwood water was distributed to the soldiers for bathing, and after bathing, the place where everyone was bitten by mosquitoes was not so itchy.

In order to prevent mosquitoes from being too fierce at night, the fire lit outside the house is mixed with some wormwood, which is burned to release the unique smell of wormwood, so that the surrounding mosquitoes dare not approach.

The oil lamp in the house also puts a small amount of wormwood, which is the easiest way to repel mosquitoes.

"Childe, don't say it, after this wormwood burns, mosquitoes don't dare to come, so you don't have to worry about sleeping well now."

Unable to hear the buzzing of mosquitoes, the chamberlain grinned happily, he really didn't expect that wormwood would be so useful.

"Less nonsense, I'm going to sleep, remember what I told you, whether you can sleep well tonight depends on wormwood."

Li Jing waved his hand, he was sleepy now, and he didn't want to quarrel with an inner servant.

"Childe sleeps peacefully, everything is taken care of by slaves and maids, and no mosquito will disturb Childe's dreams."

The waiter hurriedly answered, asked the maid on the side to untie her clothes, and watched Li Jing and the maid enter to rest.

When he woke up the next day, Li Jing was refreshed, he slept so comfortably last night, there were no mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, and he slept until dawn.

The maid who served him last night got up earlier than him, and prepared his robe for him to put on.

"Childe, the post master has prepared breakfast, please go to dinner."

As soon as Li Jing got dressed, the waiter appeared in front of him, and the maid stepped aside with interest.

Li Jing followed the waiter to breakfast, and while eating, the post manager came over.

"Childe, excuse me for your breakfast, I don't know if these light foods are still to Childe's appetite?" 33

The post chief asked.

"It tastes good, I like it."

Li Jing finished drinking a bowl of porridge, put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked up at the polite post chief in front of him and smiled.

He has a lot of fish and meat in the palace every day, and it is really good to eat some light food occasionally.

"It's good if Childe likes it, I'm afraid that the hospitality will not be good."

The stationmaster smiled.

Some people died, but not completely......
