Prosperous pastoral genius little wine girl

Chapter 9

The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes gradually spread, Tang Yunjin's eyes lit up, put down the medicinal materials in his hands, wiped his hands on the cotton-padded jacket, picked up a branch to draw sweet potatoes from the fire, and wrapped them in a relatively large grass leaf The sweet potato was still very hot, and I couldn't wait to peel off the skin, and I couldn't wait to let it cool, so I opened my mouth to bite after blowing it casually, and couldn't stop biting while breathing in the heat.

The life of a poor peasant girl for several months has made her unable to think of the modern high-quality life. Now that her stomach is full, she can't care about other messy issues such as image and hygiene.I don't know whether to applaud her for her good adaptation, or shed tears of bitterness for this extremely hard life.

After a while, the sweet potatoes were gone, and the stomach that had been growling before finally felt full. Tang Yunjin wiped her mouth and touched her stomach contentedly. A sweet potato not only filled her stomach, but also made her body full. It was warm and comfortable.

After tidying up the sweet potato skins that had been thrown aside, and then completely extinguishing the almost burnt fire, Tang Yunjin moved to the back room with the roughly sorted medicinal materials in his arms, and threw a not-so-big meadow on a corner of the kang. Sitting on it, you can hardly feel the unevenness of the kang, where she usually arranges medicinal materials.The other part of the earth kang was also covered with a lot of herbs that she had collected before. It rained two days ago, and in order to prevent the rain, it got to the place where the leak was not too serious, and some hay was covered on it.

Fortunately, it didn't get wet, otherwise it would have to be re-dried.Looking up and seeing the small wooden cabinet at the top of the kang, Tang Yunjin leaned over and found a medical book from it, flipped to almost the middle, and was relieved to see that the contents were still there.

It has become a habit to check every time you come.In the middle of the book is nothing but Tang Yunjin's only private money, a total of three coins. When she saw it for the first time, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably for a long time. If she was not convinced that the original owner left it There is no problem with her memory, she really can't believe that this is the money that Tang Yunjin saved for a whole year to save.

Three pennies is not even enough to plug between the teeth!
In the past few months, she has saved a lot of herbs, just in case she dug a hole in the corner of the kang, and hid a small amount of more valuable herbs in it, lest someone who is full enough to come over and search for her. Multiple 'properties'.

The amount of herbal medicine accumulated in a few months is comparable to that Tang Yunjin saved in a whole year in the past, or even more.These quantities can be sold in small towns, but she is not in a hurry, and she doesn't want to travel all the way to get back a pitiful few pennies.For things like money, the more you earn, the better.

A few pennies are not enough for her to stuff her teeth, let alone find a way to double the money.

Put away the three Wen money again, and continue to be her daily clerk, sorting out the medicinal materials.First sort out the more commonly used medicinal materials, remove the upper branches and leaves and leave the medicinal parts below, and those that are not commonly used, the unpopular medicinal materials should be put aside first. If it wasn't for her unwillingness to let go of even the chance to earn a penny more, she wouldn't bother to pick these herbs.

The most popular one is the goose flower, that is, Chuanwu, which has the effect of expelling wind and dampness, warming the meridians and relieving pain, and then Sanqi, which is the most popular in pharmacies, it stops bleeding and disperses blood stasis, reduces swelling and relieves pain, and is also used for Bruises are commonly used and effective. If the quantity of it is adjusted to that of Chuanwu, she may be happier. The production of wild Sanqi on this mountain is not very high, it can only be said to be mediocre.

There are also some Pulsatilla chinensis that can clear away heat and detoxify, red peony root that also has the effect of dispelling blood stasis, relieving pain, and clearing away heat, and some mountain sweet potatoes, some of which are recognized in small villages are called pig ginseng. , Also used for water and fire burns.

She will keep a part of Panax notoginseng and Burnet for her own use. When collecting herbs on the mountain, there will always be bumps and bumps. These two medicinal materials are often used, and they are wiped on the bumped places, or when they start a fire by themselves. Wipe it when you accidentally burn it.

Of course, the most important chrysanthemum to her has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxification, and curing lung heat and coughing. She usually mash it and twist it into juice, and then find a way to get some wild honey to stew and take it. In addition, she usually pays more attention to it. In the few months since I came here, Tang Yunjin has never had an asthma attack. It seems that the last attack was half a year ago. Although it is difficult to cure this disease, Tang Yunjin's condition is not particularly serious.

In the past, the old doctor also obtained small folk remedies. It is said that it may be very effective in treating asthma. Unfortunately, some medicinal materials are not available here, and they are not cheap to buy in pharmacies. Tang Yunjin has not tried it yet, so I can only talk about it later.

Simply handle the medicinal materials on hand, and look out the window through the air leaking window. The weather is good today, and it is just right to dry the freshly picked herbs. The sun is strong at noon. If it does not rain for a few days, it will be dried soon.

There is a small yard behind the thatched hut. When the old man was alive, he would grow some vegetables in the backyard. Tang Yunjin also tried to get some wild vegetables to grow after he was gone, but they often grew short of height. It disappeared, and someone secretly poached it. After trying a few times, I no longer had the idea of ​​growing food in the yard.

Sowing so hard ends up benefiting others, so why bother?Now the small yard is full of weeds, and it is impossible to grow things. There is only a small space for drying herbs on weekdays.

Putting the fresh herbs on the straw mat, Tang Yunjin sat beside her with a small wooden stool, pointing to her chin with both hands, biting a piece of grass in her mouth, staring at the herbs and thinking again.

From time to time, until now, apart from doing housework every day, she listens to her aunt's overt and dark words from time to time, that is, going to the mountains to collect herbs and food, and her life is fulfilling and fulfilling, and boring at the same time. , it can be said that there is no future at all.

Hungry and full, not enough to eat and not warm, and being rejected by others, she doesn't want to live such a miserable life in this small remote place in the backcountry, she is too hopeless.If this situation doesn't change, maybe in the future I can only continue to live the same life, and find another illiterate rough man who can only do farm work to make ends meet, and she only needs to give birth to children... …

Thinking about it even worse, in the current situation where everyone in Tang Village dislikes her, whether she can find a man who is willing to marry her is also a problem. Maybe she can only die alone in this life, that would be too pitiful It's a little bit, did God let her travel here just to make her suffer?
No matter from which point of view, the most urgent task is to change the status quo!However, what can she do with her sick and thin body now?Do you make a fortune by selling medicinal materials?But she is not an expert in this field, and it is not realistic for her to collect a large amount of medicine and sell medicine alone, so if she saves some money by selling medicine as capital, where should she develop with capital?This is also a problem.
