Chapter 21: A Long History of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Hum! She's obedient, she never cries, so she's not afraid of the New Year's monster at all, and she's not afraid that the New Year's monster will come to catch her!
"Uh... It shouldn't be scary, I was only taken by my grandmother to see it from afar. Qu Xiang recalled that when his grandfather and grandmother took him to a palace banquet, he followed his grandmother to see the emperor from afar.
"Well, we look the same, with two eyes, a nose and a mouth."
Qu Xiang affirmed.
Hearing his words, Xiang Tiange glanced at him speechlessly, and said, "... Xiang Bao, do you think I and the fifth brother look like fools? β
Qu Xiang shook his head: "It's not like it!" Why do you ask? β
"That's it, the emperor is also a human being, and people have two eyes, a nose and a mouth!"
β......β
"Didn't you say something came to me? What's up? β
Qu Xiang didn't want to discuss this topic with her anymore, so he changed the subject and asked.
Xiang Tiange remembered the purpose of coming to find Quxiang, and hurriedly took out the book from her arms that she didn't know the words on it, "Can you teach me what the words on it are?" β
Xiang Gorou was looking around at what Quxiang's study looked like, so he didn't notice that his eighth sister actually took out a book, and when he saw that the two were chatting happily, he ran from the study to the small courtyard to see the fish in the small pool.
Qu Xiang sighed, looked at the words written on the cover of the book cover she handed out: ""The long-standing culture of traditional Chinese medicine", this seems to be a book about medicinal materials. β
When Xiang Tiange heard what he said, he lowered his head to remember those words, and nodded in his heart, oh, it turns out that these nine words have a long history of traditional Chinese medicine culture!
Repeat it silently in your heart several times, staring at the nine words on it, and deeply impressing them in your heart.
After Xiang Tiange felt that he had written it down, he turned the first page and asked him: "Look, there are pictures on it, all of them are pictures of some flowers and plants, and fruits, but there are also words next to them, can you help me see them all?" β
"Well, I'll see." Qu Xiang leaned over, and the two little heads looked down at the same book in their hands.
"This is actually the ginseng we are talking about, it turns out that the ginseng looked like this before it was concocted!" Looking at the picture, it is also a little incredible, he has naturally seen the concocted ginseng, and his grandmother will occasionally contain a piece of ginseng when she is uncomfortable.
"Ginseng? Is it a medicinal herb? Xiang Tiange didn't know ginseng, and he hadn't heard of it, so he asked him curiously.
"Of course! Ginseng is the king of all medicines, and there is no ginseng in ordinary medical halls! Qu Xiang nodded with a look of course.
"Wowβdoes that cost a lot of money to buy?" Xiang Tiange's eyes lit up a little.
"Mmmm, I definitely want it, I heard my grandmother say that her ginseng was only ten years of ginseng, and it took thirty taels of silver to buy it!"
"Wow-"
Xiang Tiange lowered his head to see the appearance of the ginseng in the book, and at the same time, his mind was quickly jotting down its appearance.
Then Qu Xiang pointed to the words on the side and read them carefully to her, and when he encountered a word that he couldn't, he truthfully told his little friend that he still didn't know the word, and he hadn't learned it yet.
Xiang Tiange looked at him and didn't care about it, thinking that he was only as old as his sixth brother after all, and it was normal for him to not be able to recognize all words, but even so, it was very powerful!
Because he knows more words than she does!
But it doesn't matter, she is also recognizing words now, for example, like now, every time Xiang Bao reads a word, she repeats the word several times in her heart, and gives it a few times, so that she also knows this word.
She believes that she will soon be able to know a lot of words like Xiang Bao!
The two of them were very serious about teaching and reading, and neither of them noticed when Guo came in with a snack and drink and put it on the table next to him.
Seeing this, Guo smiled and put down his things and left the study, without disturbing the two.
Of course, Xiang Wulang, who was playing by himself in the small courtyard, also had something to eat, and Guo put everything on the table in the small pavilion and left his grandson's courtyard.
"A long time ago, a fairy came down to... The young man appeared just in time and killed the bear with an arrow. The fairy, in gratitude to the young man for saving his life, instructed him to find a miraculous plant that cured his mother's illness.
The villagers followed the example of the young man and also used this plant to cure the seriously ill patients in their families.
And this amazing plant has a unique appearance, most of them have three branches and seven leaves. Therefore, people simply call it 'Sanqi'. β
Qu Xiang stretched out his finger and pointed to the words in the book as he read it.
"Uh-huh, the story is nice too! It turns out that this plant is called 'Sanqi', Xiang Bao, you see! Sure enough, there are only three branches and seven leaves on this picture! Xiang Tiange's eyes shining brighter and brighter as he looked at the books.
After reading for a long time, Qu Xiang felt that his mouth was a little dry, and he looked up at the table next to him, and saw the thing on the table that was brought over by his grandmother at some point.
Qu Xiang got up and took a dim sum and a cup of sour plum soup, handed it to Xiang Tiange first, and then went back to get his own share to eat.
After taking a few sips of sour plum soup, he looked at Xiang Tiange, who was still staring at the book in his hand, and asked, "Yaya, where did you get this book?" β
Xiang Tiange raised his head, his eyes swirled around in his sockets, and then said to him with a smile: "It was given to me by a very powerful, very powerful, very powerful person!" β
Immortals, naturally, they are very powerful, so she didn't lie to her friends!
Xiang Tiange, who had listened to Qu Xiang for a long time, knew a lot of stories, and knew a lot of herbs, also felt a little hungry and thirsty at this time, and carefully put the treasure book in his hand on the table next to him, and then took the dim sum that Qu Xiang brought to her and ate it.
"It's delicious!"
As soon as the snack was entered, Xiang Tiange's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Xiang Bao, this mung bean cake made by your chef is delicious!" β
Qu Xiang looked at the dim sum she was holding in her hand, well, it was different from her own, her grandmother prepared her favorite osmanthus cake for him, and what she prepared for Yaya was mung bean cake and fried rice.
However, Qu Xiang also took a piece of his own dim sum and handed it to her: "You try this osmanthus cake, it's my favorite food, isn't it also delicious!" β
Xiang Tiange took the osmanthus cake in his hand, took a bite, and nodded: "Mmmm, it's also delicious!" You eat mine too, and we eat it in exchange, so that we can eat differently. β
Xiang Tiange took a piece of his own pastry and put it on the plate of Quxiang.
In fact, Qu Xiang doesn't like to eat mung bean cake very much, he prefers osmanthus cake, but since it was given to him by his friend, Qu Xiang happily ate them all.
