Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 17 Wang Chengzhou’s plan
Wang Honghe frowned when he saw his son lying shirtless in the sun.

It's early spring now and the weather is still very cold.

Although you won't catch a cold if you are exposed to the sun, it still doesn't look good.

Wang Chengzhou raised his head and hooked his chin. He couldn't light the fire for a long time, so he had to ask Siya for help.

"Humph, if you don't tell me what you are doing, I won't help you."

"You damn girl, don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?"

Wang Chengzhou had no choice but to complain and casually explained:
"Didn't you laugh at me a few days ago, saying that a big girl could knock me down? I'm a handsome young man, I can't be bullied by a woman, right?"

"As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will want to change. We have to find a way."

"This thing is called moxibustion. In fact, acupuncture and moxibustion are two methods of treating diseases. The medical book says: 'When medicine can't reach it, and when needles can't reach it, moxibustion must be used.' I am treating myself, and so are my congenital deficiencies. It’s a disease.”

Si Ya was confused after hearing this. She looked at the two pieces of ginger he put on his belly and scratched his head.

"Tsk, Siya, if you meet a casserole seller when you go to the market, they will definitely treat you well."

"What... what do you mean?"

"Because you can take care of other people's business. Let's break the casserole and get to the bottom of it!"

"Hi, Wang Chengzhou, I find that you are becoming more and more talkative."

Wang Aiduo suppressed his laughter and glared at him.

"These two acupoints are the Taiyi point and Huaroumen on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. They are opened two inches next to the Ren channel. They can strengthen the spleen, whet the appetite, and strengthen the muscles and bones." Knowing that this girl was using this as a threat, she would definitely not get the answer until she got the answer. Knowing how to help himself, Wang Chengzhou had no choice but to continue explaining, "It can be used with the Shenzhu point above the Du meridian and under the third spine to improve physical fitness."

"real or fake?"

It’s not just Wang Aiduo.

Father Wang Honghe and mother Li Yuzhu also looked over, with curious faces on their faces.

"Whether it's true or not, just give me moxibustion." Wang Chengzhou was too lazy to say anything more and urged her to light the fire, "First give me moxibustion on the Nine Zhuang."

The wormwood burned and white smoke curled up.

The medicinal power travels downward, directly into the chest and abdomen through the warmth of the ginger.

After a while, the whole person became warm.

The sun is poisonous at noon, and mugwort is positive. It's not easy to catch a cold.

After moxibustion for a while, Wang Chengzhou turned over again and lay there, letting Si Ya continue to moxibustion the Shenzhu point.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu looked at him curiously at first, but in the end, their attention was attracted by the bright butter.

During the whole noon time, most of the pots were made.

It wasn't until evening that the family finished processing the two large baskets of cattle bones.

The ox tail was also stewed into a dish under Si Ya's repeated calls.

This girl screamed louder than anyone else, and she was full after just a few bites.

Li Yuzhu couldn't help but glared at her and cursed: "How much do you think you can eat? You're really big-eyed but small-bellied! Forget it, we've almost eaten, so I'll leave the rest for you."

Wang Chengzhou felt warm and sour in his heart.

There is no way four adults can eat an oxtail, let alone not finish it.

The whole family is just being humble.

It’s really a shame to live in this age where you don’t even dare to eat meat.

Wang Chengzhou was silently angry, and he had to live a prosperous life no matter what.

Let Si Ya hold a whole piece of beef and eat it until her mouth is full of oil!

"Okay, I've been busy all afternoon, you all should take a rest." After finishing washing, Li Yuzhu glanced at the red sunset and coughed lightly, "I'll go out for a walk."

"It's already dark, why are you wandering around?"

Wang Honghe frowned and glanced at her.

"Leave me alone!"

Li Yuzhu scolded him and walked out of the house.However, inadvertently, Wang Chengzhou discovered that her lips were shiny and shiny, as if she had applied lip balm.

However, in this day and age, people in the village should not even think about that kind of thing.

The only explanation is that Li Yuzhu applied butter to her lips.

Of course, my mother is almost fifty, so she can’t be a beauty.

Wang Chengzhou smacked his lips and sighed.

Li Yuzhu is really doting on his son.

Sure enough, after a while, her exclamation as she opened the door could be heard in the alley, "You don't know, those blind women said that I was stupid, but in fact, they were stupid! Two baskets of beef bones boiled for a full half of the time. When the butter comes out of the basin, I’m tired of eating it!”

"His aunt, can those raw cow bones really produce oil? Don't lie to me."

The wives of the neighbors had obviously gathered together, and they didn’t seem to believe it.

"Hey, have you seen my lips? If I hadn't gotten half a basin of butter, who would have dared to open them and eat them?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how come that kid Chengzhou knows everything? It would be great if that boy in our family was like him. We haven't dared to see You Xing for more than half a year."

Wang Chengzhou looked embarrassed when he heard this.

In Siya's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she slipped back into her room and read a book.

However, Wang Chengzhou's deeds of using the big beef bones that no one wanted to cook out half a pot of oil seemed to have wings and fly throughout the entire Wang family in the blink of an eye.

As a result, the lazy man who loved to read idle books and was so ambitious turned into a sneaky, selfish villain.

The jealous village women would not say a kind word about him.

The next day.

The family gets up and goes to work.

Since Chen Weihong took a sick leave for him, Wang Chengzhou could take a day off.

When going out, Wang Honghe, who was carrying the grappling hook, hesitated to speak. In the end, without saying a word, he took Wang Aiduo and his daughter, who was winking, to the fields.

After several days of work, the land was almost plowed.

As long as you break up the soil and rake it evenly, you can plant sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have a high yield and require little management. After the seedlings grow, whether they are sweet potato leaves or sweet potato stems, you can pick them for cooking.

That stuff tastes pretty good.

Even in the previous life, there were restaurants in big cities that specialized in selling these two things.

Therefore, before the summer harvest, people in the village will be idle.

However, because this is the era of large collectives, the leaders above will definitely not let the villagers really be idle.

Pushan Township is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with several mountains stretching behind the village.

There are dense forests growing on the mountains outside, and as soon as spring begins, people are logging there.

The logs sold can help the village generate revenue and are considered one of the main sources of income.

Wang Chengzhou had an idea in his mind.

So, while I was free, I headed straight to the back mountain.

In his impression, in addition to the trees outside, there are also many medicinal herbs growing in the back mountain.

However, in those days, individual businesses were not allowed, and the development of mountain forests was limited, and many of them were abandoned.

The college entrance examination was about to resume, and the following year, land contracting began.

There will be a big change in the policy direction.

I don’t have any other abilities, but I have been exposed to medicinal herbs since I was a child.

At that time, if you concoct some herbs and sell them on the market, you will definitely be able to make some extra money.

If you take advantage of the times and make a small fortune, you might even be able to become a householder worth ten thousand yuan!
