The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 45 It shouldn’t be used to do bad things

After digging out an arrow, Tang Mian wiped the sweat from his face and stood up, wondering if there were any more around.

Thinking like this, Tang Mian looked aside carefully.After searching for about two feet, I found another piece.

There were more arrows in this area than before, and Tang Mian dug them all out happily.She is not worried about extinction. According to the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials", an arrow has a deep root and will sprout and grow again in the coming year.

After digging, Tang Mian sat down and ate a piece of cake, drank water, rested for a while, and then continued to search around.Unfortunately, it was not found this time.

However, Tang Mian was not discouraged. If this medicine was not available, she could still find other medicines.

Tang Mian tightened his grip on the strap of the backpack and continued walking up.Not far away, I discovered a medicinal herb with cylindrical roots and oval leaves called Stephanotis.

Stephanotis can clear away heat and detoxify, dispel wind and relieve pain, diuresis and reduce swelling. Its roots, stems and leaves can be used as medicine.

There are many Stephanotis vines, and Tang Mian picked them all.

After harvesting Stephania vine, Tang Mian continued to move forward.

After walking for a while and finding no medicinal materials, I stopped and rested against a big tree.

"Huh?" Tang Mian felt his butt being pinched after sitting down.

I stood up and dug some dirt, and my eyes suddenly lit up. Is this flat black thing a Polyporus polygonatum?
Tang Mian dug up all the soil, revealing the complete roots inside. He thought about the content in the book carefully. After comparing it, Tang Mian determined that the color in front of him was gray and black, and there were wrinkles and bulges on the surface. It was hard when pinched, but light when picked up. The thing is Polyporus cocos.

Polyporus polyporus is a kind of bacteria. It is very large and has effects on urination, edema, diarrhea and stranguria. The whole piece can be used as medicine.

Tang Mian dug out all the pig lings buried in the ground and filled a small half basket.

After picking the Polyporus cocos, Tang Mian sat down next to the big tree, took out the bamboo tube and took a sip of water, looking at the harvest in the basket happily.

So far, today's medicinal materials are relatively easy to harvest and do not take up much space. The several medicine baskets are not yet full.

After having enough rest, Tang Mian continued to search in the mountains.

It was getting late, so she was going to walk a little further and go home if she didn't have any medicinal materials.

God favored her, and when she was about to go back, she saw another medicinal material, Rhodiola rosea, which can replenish qi, activate blood circulation, and relieve asthma.

Rhodiola rosea usually grows on high mountains, but there are only a few here.

According to the book, the roots and rhizomes of Rhodiola rosea need to be harvested. After harvesting them, Tang Mian put away his tools, picked up his basket and went down the mountain.

Judging from the sky, it was almost halfway through U.S. hour. It would definitely be past U.S. hour by the time she walked home.

Sure enough, it was almost time when we reached the foot of the mountain.

"Mian Niang." Lu Zheng, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for half an hour, stared at the mountain road closely, and immediately spoke out when he saw Tang Mian's figure.

Tang Mian looked up when he heard the voice, "Dad."

Lu Zheng stepped forward quickly and put his hands on the backpack, "Let me carry the basket!"

"Okay." Tang Mian was not polite. She was indeed a little tired.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Tang Mian still handed the tools to Lu Zheng, and took a little of each medicine for Lu Zheng to take into the house.

Although Lu Zheng didn't understand why Tang Mian kept a little of each medicine, he didn't ask any more questions.

Tang Mian took the basket and carried it to Doctor Wu's house.When she arrived, Wu Yunsheng was preparing to eat.

"Doctor Wu, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Tang Mian walked into the yard and said apologetically when he saw Wu Yunsheng's food and wine placed under a big tree not far away.

Wu Yunsheng waved his hand, "Nothing, what medicinal materials did you pick today?"

Speaking of medicinal materials, Tang Mian became more energetic and said, "Doctor Wu, I picked six kinds of medicinal materials today. Take a look."

Wu Yunsheng nodded after hearing this, turned over the basket on his back, and praised: "The medicinal materials are placed neatly and are not damaged, which is good."

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Today's medicinal materials are not as many as yesterday's." "It's okay, I'll get a scale for you to weigh." After Wu Yunsheng said that, he went back to the house and took out the scale, weighing the medicines Tang Mian picked today one by one.

"An arrow weighs 150 taels, [-] fen per catty, a total of [-] fen."

Tang Mian was a little surprised when he heard the price of an arrow. He didn't expect that this blade of grass was not cheap.

"Stephanie vine weighs one pound, eighteen cents per pound, totaling eighteen cents." Wu Yunsheng continued to report the accounts to Tang Mian.

"Rhodiola rosea, two taels, 45 cents per catty, nine cents in total."

"Porus, one catty weighs 35 cents per catty, a total of 35 cents."

"Bupleurum, weighing nine taels, thirty cents per catty, a total of 27 cents."

"Fern hemp weighs five taels per catty, 35 cents per catty, a total of 53 cents."

"The total money for collecting medicine today is 230 taels. Mian Niang, can you do the math yourself?" Wu Yunsheng handed Tang Mian the written down amount of money and asked her to calculate it.

Tang Mian took a look and nodded, "That's right, Doctor Wu."

In fact, she had already calculated it when Dr. Wu was reading it just now.

Doctor Wu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get you the money right now. You wait first."

Tang Mian said hello, and Wu Yunsheng turned around and went into the house to get the money.

"230 Wen, you count." Wu Yunsheng handed the stringed copper coins to Tang Mian.

Tang Mian still took it and counted it clearly in person.

"The number is correct, please, Doctor Wu."

Wu Yunsheng nodded, "Today's medicinal materials are Rhodiola rosea, Bupleurum, and an arrow. If you can find more in the future, you can bring them to me."

"Okay, Doctor Wu." Tang Mian responded.

Tang Mian thought for a while and asked nervously: "Doctor Wu, do you have any medicine that can make people faint?"

Wu Yunsheng was slightly startled, then nodded after regaining his composure, "You want it?"

"Yes, Doctor Wu, can you sell it to me?" Tang Mian asked.

Wu Yunsheng looked at Tang Mian and said, "Okay, just wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned back to the house and soon came out with the medicine and handed it to Tang Mian.

"I'll give you two kinds. The white one can be mixed into water and drank, and it will take effect in half a quarter of an hour. The yellowish one can be sprinkled directly on the person's face, and it will take effect in a quarter of an hour."

Tang Mian looked at the two small medicine bags and reached out to take them, "Thank you, Doctor Wu. How much money are they in total?"

"Fifty Wen." Wu Yunsheng said.

Tang Mian counted fifty coins to Wu Yunsheng without saying a word, "Doctor Wu, please count."

"I watched you count it, there's no need to count it again." Wu Yunsheng said after taking the fifty cents.

"Mian Niang, you have to be careful when using this medicine." Wu Yunsheng reminded.

Tang Mian smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Doctor Wu, for reminding me. I will pay attention."

Doctor Wu nodded, "If nothing happens, I'll eat first."

"Then don't disturb Doctor Wu. I'll leave first." Tang Mian said as he picked up the basket and turned around to leave Wu Yunsheng's house.

Wu Yunsheng frowned and looked at Tang Mian's back, and sighed. She probably wouldn't do anything bad with it!
