Tianyuan Shoufu is two and a half years old

Chapter 9 Potion (1)

Chen Qiuxiang collected the medicine and caught another golden pheasant, which was a great harvest.

When Chen Qiuxiang returned to his paddy field with a bamboo basket on his back, Qin Songtao and Qin Muzhang had only plowed two acres of land. Zhiyuanli's plowing speed was not as fast as Quyuanli's.

Chen Qiuxiang ignored the two of them, found a stone on the edge of the field and sat down, then took out the stones and bamboo tubes he picked up on the way back, and took out the herbs and chopped them up.

The chopped herbs are placed on a slightly grooved stone, and another stone is used to smash the herbs to squeeze out the juice of the herbs.

Chen Qiuxiang pounded the herbs little by little, and put them into the bamboo tubes after a little bit of pounding. In a short time, all the eight bamboo tubes prepared were almost filled.

After filling the smashed herbs, Chen Qiuxiang filled the water again, sprinkled some lime powder into it and stirred it, and a simple potion for repelling insects, killing leeches and eggs was ready.

Because none of the herbal medicines prepared by Chen Qiuxiang are highly toxic, and the prescriptions she made are not capable of killing everything, so don't worry that some loaches, rice field eels or other small fish and shrimps in the field will also be killed after sprinkling these medicines. die.

She is a potion made for the characteristics of some insect pests and leeches, and the potion only selectively kills insect eggs, insect pests, and leeches.

Chen Qiuxiang made all the eight bamboo tubes, and then poured the potion into a field from the edge of the field with the bamboo tube, so that the potion spread to the whole field along the water flow.

Eight bamboo tubes are exactly the amount of eight acres of land, and this potion is only used for about a month or two. After the time passes, the effect of the potion will expire, and she will have to make it again.

"Daughter-in-law Zhang, why are you dumping in the field? I saw you busy smashing things just now, what are you doing?"

When Chen Qiuxiang was pounding herbs little by little, he had noticed that the field next door to her was also being plowed, and the people looked at her curiously as she poured the medicine into the field, wondering what she poured into it.

It's just farming. Everyone has been here for so many years. I have never seen Chen Qiuxiang add potions to the land like this.

Chen Qiuxiang looked at the aunt who was asking questions over there, and said with a smile, "I just made a little potion. There are leeches in the field. I am worried that Zhang and my father will be bitten by leeches when they plow the land. If you pour the potion in now, when the time comes They won't be bitten by leeches, and we don't have to worry about leeches when we grow rice."

"Is your potion useful? Can it really prevent leeches from biting people?" The aunt over there asked curiously. If the potion prevents leeches from biting, she also wants it.

"I'm sure it's useful, but you don't necessarily believe it. Let's see it tomorrow?" Chen Qiuxiang smiled.

The aunt also nodded in agreement with what she said. She will definitely come over tomorrow to see if there are any leeches in Qin Songtao's field. If the potion is really useful, she can also ask Zhang's wife for some. OK.

After Chen Qiuxiang sprinkled potion on her paddy fields, it was almost dark, so she packed her things and went home with her husband.

"When I went up the mountain today, I caught a golden pheasant, so I was lucky." Chen Qiuxiang said with a smile, "Why don't we use this pheasant to make crispy fried chicken tomorrow?"

"Want to eat fried chicken?" Qin Muzhang said with a smile.

"Yes, you will definitely get tired of eating fried chicken, but you still miss it if you don't eat it for a long time. What's more, the crispy fried chicken you make is delicious." Chen Qiuxiang said.

"Crispy fried chicken, is it delicious?" Qin Songtao also asked, he was also a little greedy, he had never eaten fried chicken before.

"When the time comes, you and your mother and elder brother will try it too." Qin Muzhang said.

"Can your elder brother eat fried food? His health is a little weak, and he still needs to be raised?" Qin Songtao hesitated.

"It should be possible, just let the eldest brother eat a few bites, and it won't have much impact on his body." Chen Qiuxiang said.

In fact, no one in their family has medical skills, but Qin Muyu, who has been ill for a long time, has learned a lot of medical knowledge. Although he can't feel the pulse, he can still diagnose the disease based on the symptoms.

Chen Qiuxiang is a part-time pharmacist. She basically just memorizes prescriptions, medicinal materials, and various knowledge. She doesn't know how to see or cure diseases, but only makes medicines.

But Qin Muyu's body basically depends on nourishment, and it is enough to rely on various medicines to nourish the body slowly.And she happened to have a prescription for nourishing her body.

"When I went to the mountain to collect herbs today, I found a few herbs that I can drink for my elder brother. Tonight, I boiled the herbs for my elder brother to drink. I can also eat crispy chicken tomorrow." Chen Qiuxiang said.

Qin Songtao nodded to show that he understood. He still believed in his youngest son and daughter-in-law, they both had the ability.

When I got home, dinner was ready at home.

Wang Mingya doesn't know how to cook. Today's dinner was cooked by Qin Muyu. Although his health is not very good, he still knows how to cook. Although the food he cooks is very simple, there is nothing complicated .

Just like tonight's dinner, it's porridge with cold vegetables, rabbit broth with vegetables, just two simple dishes.

It's just because Qin Muyu made a relatively large amount, so just two dishes are enough for everyone to eat.And the rabbit meat soup is also very fragrant, and the seasoning of the stew used is prepared by Qin Muzhang, so it cannot be unpalatable.

The cold salad is similar, and the seasoning for the cold salad is also made by Qin Muzhang. Qin Muyu only needs to blanch the vegetables that need cold salad and then mix them with the seasoning.

"Plowing the Zhiyuanli is still quite troublesome. We still have to make the Quyuanli. Otherwise, when will our family's eight acres of land be plowed? After the paddy fields are plowed, there are still more than ten acres of dry land that need to be plowed. How about that?" It will take even more time." Qin Songtao said distressedly, "But I don't know what Quyuanli is like, so I can't do it."

"It's a pity, I can't either." Qin Muyu also said with a smile. Although he reads a lot, he doesn't know how to make Quyuanli. He has seen the pattern of Quyuanli, but his hands-on ability is relatively poor, so he can't do it. Do.

"I will." Qin Muzhang said, "I'll stay up late tonight and do it, but tomorrow morning I have to plow the fields by myself."

"It's okay, just get Qu Yuanli out. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the old house to find someone to see if I can find your cousins ​​for help." Qin Songtao said.

"Alright." Qin Muzhang nodded.

"Since Dad, you and Zhang are busy these days, if I go to the county seat, I should go by myself? I have finished copying the Analects of Confucius and the Three Character Classic, so I can exchange some money with the shopkeeper at the bookstore. "Qin Muyu said with a smile.
