Tianyuan Shoufu is two and a half years old

Chapter 19 Potion (2)

"Oh, I saw the effect on the second day after you put the potion, but didn't it just last night? Is the potion really effective? I have to spend some time to confirm it?" Wang Xiaoying smiled. said.

"Daughter-in-law Zhang, are you going to sell this potion? Or exchange it for something? Is it okay?" Wang Xiaoying asked, "You don't know that every time I go up the mountain, I will be bitten by leeches. You said that we are used to it all these years. I don’t care anymore. But now, can’t I stop being bitten? Of course I don’t want to be bitten by leeches any more.”

"What do you think, Mrs. Zhang? Do you want to make this potion and then sell it for money or food? This will definitely make money."

"In a place as big as our Qinjiazhuang, there are leeches in the water and mountains. There must be many people who want to change the medicine to kill leeches."

"Aside from Qinjiazhuang, isn't there a lot of villages here? Besides our county, there must be people in the whole south who want to buy it. This potion is definitely profitable." Wang Xiaoying said excitedly.

Chen Qiuxiang: "...Auntie, you are a little excited."

"Hey, can you not get excited? Although I didn't make this potion, and I won't get a penny if I sell it for money, but I get excited when I think about it. This potion was made by our Qin family village. People from our old Qin family made it, I'm proud." Wang Xiaoying said.

Chen Qiuxiang: "..." Maybe I understand this feeling a little bit?
"Auntie, if you want this potion for killing leeches and repelling insects, you can do it. I have a little more here. If you don't have money, forget it. You can spread the potion on an acre of land. Give me a catty of soybeans." Chen Qiuxiang thought for a while and said.

"This potion can last for one or two months, and there will be no leeches and some bugs within two months after it is sprinkled." Chen Qiuxiang said.

"Just a catty of beans is enough?" Wang Xiaoying said.

"Isn't a catty of beans expensive?" Some people in Chen Qiuxiang felt that the price she paid was too high. After all, a catty of soybeans can fill their stomachs. She was a little worried that farmers in ancient times would not give up a catty of soybeans for a potion.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. Beans are not expensive things." Wang Xiaoying shook her head.

Most of their paddy fields are used to grow rice. Although upland rice and sorghum are also grown in dry land, soybeans and mung beans can be interplanted between upland rice and sorghum.You can also grow soybeans in front of and behind the house, in some places on the mountain, and in the gaps between some forests.

Therefore, the yield of soybeans is not very high, and the yield per mu is only a few hundred catties, but it is really not very precious.For many people, soybeans are not tasty, and they feel uncomfortable and flatulent if they eat too much, but they are easy to grow, so they are not precious.

"It takes a catty of beans to spread the potion on an acre of land, right? I'll send you a few catties of beans later, Mrs. Zhang, please wait." Wang Xiaoying said happily, and then hurried home.

Chen Qiuxiang: "..."

Wang Xiaoying hurried home and brought ten catties of soybeans to Chen Qiuxiang, in exchange for the potion that could sow ten acres of land, and then happily took it to the ground to sow it.

Wang Xiaoying happily went down to the field with several bamboo tubes, her cheerful appearance attracted the attention of other people nearby. A woman who was adjacent to Wang Xiaoying's field and had a good relationship with Wang Xiaoying first asked her why she was so happy.

"Chunhe's family, what are you holding? You look so happy, did you find the money?" Li Lancao couldn't help asking when she saw Wang Xiaoying's happy appearance.

"It's almost the same as finding money." Wang Xiaoying said happily, "You also know how annoying I am to the leeches in the field. Now that I can finally stop being bitten by leeches, shouldn't I be as happy as finding money?"

"What? Do you have a way to prevent the leeches from biting you?" Li Lancao looked at Wang Xiaoying in surprise and said, "What good way do you have?"

"Here, this is the solution." Wang Xiaoying showed Li Lancao the bamboo tube, and said with a smile, "This is the potion for killing leeches. After spreading them in the field, I don't have to worry about leeches biting me."

"It can be used not only in paddy fields, but also in dry fields and mountainous areas. Using this spray canister to spray the ground can kill leeches and other insects." Wang Xiaoying said.

When Chen Qiuxiang sold the potion to Wang Xiaoying, she also gave her a spray tube made of bamboo tube, which is the kind of spray tube that can absorb water and then spray, a simple spray tube made of bamboo.

Anyway, in ancient times, it was impossible to use such a large bucket or other water sprayers as we do now, so we had to use bamboo tubes.

Fortunately, they are in the south, and there are still a lot of bamboo, so it is very convenient to use it for spraying canisters or other things.

Although Li Lancao was skeptical seeing Wang Xiaoying's excited appearance, she still joined in the fun with her.

Seeing that Li Lancao still didn't quite believe in herself, Wang Xiaoying said, "Actually, like you, I didn't really believe that this potion can really kill ephedra or some insects in the field, but I have observed it for several days, ah There are really no leeches in Zhang’s field.”

"When we went to Zhang and his family's dry land to plant that sweet potato, I also observed that there were no leeches around the dry land of Zhang's family."

"Let's not talk about leeches, ants and other annoying insects are not seen very much. I have been observing for many days, and I saw that there are no leeches and other insects that harm crops in Zhang's field. That's why I went to Zhang's house to exchange the potion with Zhang's wife."

After listening to her words, Li Lancao also began to recall the situation of Qin Muzhang's field that he had seen in the past few days. Indeed, he had never seen leeches in his field. Those who are usually gnawing on crops or seeds are very common. Bugs are also rare.

Because loaches or some very small fish could still be seen in the field, she never thought that it was because of the spraying of potion.But now that I think about it, the leeches are really gone.

You must know that they were bitten by leeches from time to time when they were planting rice in the paddy field, but they haven't seen Qin Muzhang and his father being bitten by leeches recently, and Qin Jingzhe, who came to his house to help, was not bitten by leeches either.

"Chunhe's family, are you telling the truth? Is this potion really that useful?" Li Lancao asked while staring at the bamboo tube in Wang Xiaoying's hand.

Wang Xiaoying hid the bamboo tube behind her back, and said with a vigilant face, "I can't give you this one. I exchanged it with ten catties of beans."

Li Lancao looked at Wang Xiaoying with an expression of "Are you crazy?" and said, "Ten catties of beans? Change these potions?"

"Azhang's daughter-in-law said that one bamboo tube can just spread an acre of land, and the potion can be effective for two months. One bamboo tube of potion can be exchanged for one catty of beans. I want ten bamboo tubes, so can't I exchange ten catties of beans? "

"Really? Can a bamboo tube be used to sow an acre of land? Can it be effective for two months? Is it guaranteed that there will be no leeches within two months?" Li Lancao asked.

"Of course." Wang Xiaoying said, "I believe what Zhang's wife said."

Li Lancao thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take a look too. If the effect is good after you use it, I'll go and exchange it with Zhang's wife."
