Fleeing from famine and farming: I made a fortune by relying on medical skills

Chapter 258 The Annual Examination Begins

"Qiu Ling, your task is very important. If you copy a medical book as soon as possible, you can free up another medical book. Let us copy it together, and let your grandfather and father-in-law see Su Su as soon as possible. This is the third medical book written by Su." Huang Lishi also urged her eldest daughter-in-law to pay attention to this matter.

"Mother, don't worry, I will copy the medical books as soon as possible." Seeing that her family valued Su Su's medical books so much, Xiao Qiuling said solemnly.

"It's just a pity. Any of the few medical books written by Susu can be regarded as a family heirloom, handed down from generation to generation, for future generations to learn, as family medical books and secret recipes." Thinking of this, Huang Yaozi's face Couldn't help showing a look of pity.

"Father, although the few medical books written by Susu can be passed down as family heirlooms.

However, the medical books written by Susu can be spread, so that more people can learn the content of the medical books written by Susu. In this way, it can benefit more ordinary people. Not to mention, the name of our family Susu can also be remembered for thousands of years. History, lasting forever.

This is more beneficial and useful than being a family heirloom. "Huang Qi thought clearly, and said very open-mindedly.

"The fourth brother is right. Maybe Susu's feat can make our old Huang's family famous." After Huang Yaozi figured it out, he didn't worry about it anymore.

.

On the second day, at half past Mao's time, all the members of the Huang family and the apprentices got up early, and the adults of the apprentice's family also came to Huang's house early.

Carrying baskets on their backs, hoes, and hatchets, they packed up some dry food and water bottles, and after Huang Zisu gave an order, they each went to the back of the mountain to dig the medicinal materials they needed to examine.

This time to assess the medicinal materials they dug, last year, their family took these apprentices and villagers to collect them, and taught them how to prepare them.

They all knew where to dig for medicinal materials, so after this group of people got into the mountain, after a while, the large group of people disappeared without a trace and went to their destinations.

Huang Zisu followed the three yas and took care of the dangers around her.

The medicinal material that Sanya got was honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle is a plant of the Lonicera genus. The dried flower buds or the first bloomed flowers at the drug site have the functions of clearing away heat and detoxification, reducing inflammation and reducing swelling.

And honeysuckle vine, also known as honeysuckle vine, is also a traditional Chinese medicine.

Honeysuckle generally picks the first flower at the end of April or mid-to-late May, and picks the second flower from mid-to-late June.Harvest is most suitable when the upper part of the bud is swollen, turns from green to white, and has not yet opened.

Honeysuckle is highly adaptable, light-loving, shade-tolerant, and also resistant to certain droughts. It does not grow well in long-term shade and needs to be properly exposed to light.Honeysuckle has a strong crawling ability, and it can be used as a green low wall, and it can also be wrapped around rocks as a landscape.

Therefore, this time, Huang Zisu followed Sanya to collect honeysuckle, and did not need to trek across mountains and rivers. In the jungle at the foot of the mountain, in the jungle of thorns, in the bushes, or in the bushes or sparse forests on the hillside, or in the piles of rocks, you can pick honeysuckle. There is no need to collect herbs in the sun.

Sanya soon found a piece of honeysuckle vines entangled in a shady shrub. She didn't call out to Huang Zisu, and put the basket on her chest, picking the honeysuckle with her hands like butterflies and put it into the basket. inside.

It is best to pick honeysuckle in the early morning every day, because at this time the honeysuckle has not yet fully bloomed, the nutrients are the most abundant, and the color is more beautiful. It is also the period when the honeysuckle is the most valuable. After drying in the shade, the medicinal effect can be maximized Effect.

However, picking at this hour is the best time.

"Sanya, do you need Third Senior Sister to help you pick honeysuckle?" Huang Zisu saw that Sanya was too busy, and she didn't see Sanya asking her to help, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Is this okay?" Sanya asked hesitantly.

"Of course it is possible.

I also said before that we followed you up the mountain to collect herbs, and on the premise of ensuring your safety, it is naturally possible to do some miscellaneous and layman's work.

However, we will only do things according to your orders, and I will do whatever you say.

No matter what you ask me to do in the middle is right or wrong, fast or slow, good or bad, I will not remind you, and I will not criticize you in the middle, let alone give pointers or hints. "Huang Zisu nodded and said.

"Then third senior sister, hurry up and help me pick honeysuckle! But when picking honeysuckle, third senior sister, you can only pick the bud part of the honeysuckle. We don't pick the flowering ones. Third senior sister, try to pick some plump buds with a color close to blue and white. " Sanya's heart turned slightly, and she kept an eye out and told her third senior sister.

And the honeysuckle she asked her third senior sister to pick was exactly what the senior sister taught in the book and the key points for the second senior brother to take them up the mountain to pick honeysuckle when they practiced.

The quality of this honeysuckle flower bud is the highest, and its healing effect is also the best.

In the past, when they went up the mountain to pick honeysuckle, they only picked the buds of the honeysuckle.

Even if the picking is too fast and a few flowering honeysuckle are picked, the honeysuckle that has bloomed will be picked out in the subsequent processing.

This kind of honeysuckle is either prepared by soaking water themselves, or sold at a pharmacy for a second-class price, or given to poor people.

There are quite a lot of honeysuckle around here, and they stopped and walked while picking. It only took more than half an hour to go back and forth, and the baskets carried by Huang Zisu and the others were full of honeysuckle.

"Okay, Third Senior Sister, let's stop picking and go home.

One basket weighs about ten catties of honeysuckle, and two baskets weigh about twenty catties. After picking and processing, three catties of finished medicinal materials are enough. Sanya wiped off her sweat, weighed the weight of the basket a few times, greeted her third senior sister and rushed home.

Huang Zisu was also satisfied that Sanya was clean and tidy.

Picking herbs and going home, among this group of apprentices, they were the first ones to come back.

After Sanya came back, she ate some dry food and drank some water, but she didn't rest.

Move the bench, pour the picked honeysuckle on the disc sieve, and start picking the honeysuckle.

The honeysuckle that has bloomed and the residues of branches and leaves are picked out one by one, leaving only the buds that are ready to bloom.

However, while Sanya was picking honeysuckle, she was thinking about how to deal with these honeysuckle.

The medicinal use of honeysuckle can be divided into three types: raw medicine, fried medicine and charcoal medicine, which are processed differently and have different effects.

Crude medicine is a dry product obtained by sun-drying and shade-drying fresh honeysuckle.

The crude drug is sweet and slightly bitter in taste, cold in nature, and is good at clearing away the toxins in the upper burner and muscle surface.

However, whether it is sun-dried or shade-dried honeysuckle, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you do not control the time well, the color will turn yellow, lighten and change the original color, and the air will be lost, which will affect your own assessment.
