Chapter 19 Herbal Tea

The wheat in the field has gradually begun to turn yellow, and it is about to ripen. The most important time of the year is coming.

Although there is usually hunting as a supplement, wheat is the main ration of the family, if the wheat harvest is not good, this day will be hard. And they had to pay taxes on wheat.

At this time, the most important thing is the weather, if there is a heavy rain before the wheat harvest, everyone will have to be blind. Not only is it difficult to harvest wheat, but also the harvest will be reduced, and the most important thing is that it cannot be threshed and dried in time, and I am afraid that it will have to sprout and become moldy. Half of the year's harvest has to be removed.

For the past two days, Gary has been observing the weather every day, and if there is any sign of rain, he will have to harvest the wheat early. If the weather is fine, Gary has decided to harvest the wheat the day after tomorrow. Late in life, the wheat will be too ripe and will be touched by the kernels when harvested.

When the wheat is cooked, there is flour, there are noodles, buns, bread, dumplings, wow...

Although the wheat has not yet been confiscated and the flour has not yet been milled, the preparations must begin first. The first thing to do is to have a fine sieve to sift out the wheat bran. Kaichi asked Gary to make two wooden rings that fit tightly together to serve as the outer frame of the sieve.

The main thing is actually the mesh of the sieve, if the mesh is too wide, the wheat bran will be directly leaked. In order to make a denser screen, Kaichi decided to weave one himself. Originally, he used the linen cloth at home to make a screen, and the gauze of the linen cloth was relatively sparse, so it could be used improvised.

But in order to keep warm, the linen is relatively thick, and after trying it, he is not satisfied. I decided to hand-knit one by myself, wasn't it all popular handmade in my previous life, no matter what it was, I could have a handmade gimmick. In fact, many handmade goods are not as good as the workmanship of machines, especially many are just gimmicks.

The weather was already very hot, and Jia Yi was wearing a single coat and learning to dispense medicine with Yao Lao in the pharmacy, and by the way. Although Yao Lao is strict, he is really dedicated to teaching Jiayi.

Seeing Yao Lao skillfully handling the medicinal herbs, he thought that his parents would go to the ground to cut wheat tomorrow, so he asked Yao Lao: "Teacher, are there any medicinal materials that can clear away heat and detoxify and prevent summer heat? ”

Yao Lao felt quite strange: "What, this weather can't stand it? Or who is suffering from heat stroke? It shouldn't be, it's not the hottest time yet." ”

"No, teacher, tomorrow the family will cut wheat, I am afraid that my parents will go to the ground too hot, I want to find some cool herbs to make some tea for my parents to drink, lest they get hot." ”

Yao Lao listened to it and thought Jiayi's idea was very interesting. "Jiayi, what kind of tea can you be, you can't afford to buy tea, it's just some medicinal soup. ”

At this time, there is tea, but Jiayi does not produce tea here, and Jiayi does not know the difference between the tea here and the earth. It's just that I know it's very expensive, so expensive that ordinary little nobles are reluctant to drink it. Only some big nobles and aristocrats have the tradition of drinking tea, the financial resources and leisure.

"Teacher, it's just a title. Can you do it?" Jia Yi just named it according to the habit of his previous life, but he didn't expect the tea from another world to be so expensive. Seeing that Yao Lao was far away, he even came out of the agitation method.

"This kind of trivial matter!" Yao Lao saw that his bachelor was "disrespectful", and hurriedly returned, "You want to clear the heat and relieve the heat, and you have to drink it as water, if it is not toxic, I will give you some chamomile flowers, yellow flowers, frost mulberry leaves, Ural licorice, and safflower Burmese gardenia." Yao Lao said as he grabbed the medicine from the medicine cabinet, and when he finished speaking, he grabbed a pair of "herbal tea".

"Your idea is very good, boiling water with these non-toxic herbs to relieve the heat can indeed eliminate the heat. You take this packet of medicine back, just boil it in a big pot, and I wish it would be better to add a pinch of salt later. ”

"Teacher, how much is a handful? Can you be more specific?"

"It's a thumb nail cover, a nail cover. ”

"Is it my fingernail or yours, teacher?

"Jiayi, you can go home and cook. You can put as much as you like! Also, this herbal tea is cold, children and your mother should not drink too much. "Finally the teacher, and Jiayi was driven home to cook.

......

The next morning, before dawn, Gary and Erica got up, packed up, and went out in the faint morning light.

At this time, the sun has come out relatively early, and the weather is starting to heat up. Before the sun came out, the weather was still cool, so they had to cut a little more wheat in the morning, so that they could rest more and hide from the sun when the weather warmed up at noon.

When Jia woke up, it was already dark, and Donna on the other side had already gotten up, and there was no one on the bed. He also hurriedly got up, and at this time it was a busy time, and he also had to help.

When he came to the door, Donna was washing, and when she saw him, she said, "Jiayi, you are up too, and I am going to call you after washing my face." ”

"Of course, I'm very positive, okay!" Jia replied to Donna, and hurriedly went to wash his face and brush his teeth (chewing multi-toothed wood).

After washing, Jia Yi took a bag of medicinal herbs out, this bag of medicinal materials was the "herbal tea" he asked Yao Lao to prepare yesterday, and he didn't know what the gap was with the earth. In fact, he himself doesn't know the specific recipe of herbal tea, only that there are prunella, chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums...

Not to mention whether these medicinal materials are in the other world, he doesn't know what the specific name of the other world is, although he has been learning pharmacology with Yao Lao for several months. Even if he had learned it, he didn't know what these medicinal herbs looked like on the earth, well, except for chrysanthemums...

But it doesn't matter, as long as it's to cool off, the most important thing is that it's non-toxic, and you can drink it in large quantities.

Wash the pot, put the herbs inside, add water, and boil. After more than 20 minutes, the water was already boiling, and Jia Yi let it boil for a while, and then wrapped it in steps, took the pot down, and thought about Yao Lao's words, and used a spoon to hold a small half spoon of salt in it, and stirred.

Seeing this so-called herbal tea, Jia Yi scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it, the taste was weird, much more difficult to drink than Jia Duobao. The main thing is that there is no sugar, which makes the taste of this "herbal tea" average, but it finally has a little taste, which is better than boiled water.

After breakfast, Kaichi went to the field with Donna and her parents, and in order to hurry, the whole family needed to do it together. With that unique herbal tea in the other world.

The family of Badru (the one who picked the fruit with Jiayi) also came to help, and their wheat was ready to be harvested tomorrow, as well as Uncle Cecil's family in the north of the village. After looking at it, I felt that there was not much difference from the countryside in the previous life, everyone helped each other (in fact, this is just because of the author's lack of imagination).

Seeing Jia Yi, Aunt Cecil asked with a smile, "Jia Yi, why did you come here today and didn't continue to study with Yao Lao?"

Although everyone is not very close to Yao Lao because of rumors, it is still very welcome for someone to study medicine with Yao Lao. You don't have to go to town with a little illness, and it's expensive.

When Jia Yi heard this, he put down the pot with herbal tea and said, "Aunt Cecil, the teacher will let me come back today to help." ”

Uncle Wood, Badru's father, next to him, listened and asked, "Jiayi, how did you learn from Yao Lao?"

"It's good, the teacher often praises me. I also brought you herbal tea, and I begged the teacher to match it, which can relieve the heat. ”

"Oh, I'll try it out. Aunt Cecil listened, and came over and picked up a bowl and scooped it up.

"I'll try it too!" The people next to him saw something they had never seen before, and they all said that they wanted to try it.

Gary and Erica beckoned everyone and divided bowls of water for everyone to drink. Only Donna was next to her, squinting at everyone and pouting. She wasn't very interested in this.
