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

Chapter 156: Comrade Wang Chengzhou’s money cannot be collected
In fact, filling a small jar with watermelon and Glauber's salt can be harvested many times before it completely goes rancid.

The utilization rate is still very high and it does not consume too many raw materials.

However, Wang Chengzhou was greedy, so his family ate several of the sack of watermelon he bought, and then gave some to Luan Hongying and Xu Xiaozhi, but there was not much left.

The reason why I said this was because I wanted Bai Houping to look good.

From the very beginning, he discovered that the brigade party secretary acted unfairly and targeted him everywhere because Wang Zhiguo's father, Wang Tielin, was the village chief.

If you don't give him some color, do you really think that you are easy to bully?
"Then, what else can you say?"

Bai Houping spread his hands and bared his teeth, "Old Guo, get a watermelon for Comrade Wang Chengzhou!"

"Oh, OK!"

Guo Shuisheng was very straightforward and stretched out his hand, "Comrade Wang Chengzhou, take the banknotes."

"Zhishu Bai just said that the harvest of the watermelon field is related to the interests of the village collective, and no one is exempt."

"Whoever wants it has to pay for it, and besides, it can't be sold cheaply!"

Wang Chengzhou glared and said simply, "Old Guo Tou, I have no money!"

"I still live in three adobe houses at home. When the weather is bad, it rains heavily outside and light rain inside. In order not to get flooded, the whole family has to carry a basin to collect water in the middle of the night. .”

"Don't ask for my money, just ask for my life!"

The two of them glared at each other and pushed each other, neither of them willing to give in.

The group of patients who had trudged from Yanggao Village looked like they were really going to kill their grandparents!

You guys are so tortured by swollen and fried cheeks that they are worse than dead. Why do you want to stay here and watch you, an old man and a young man, two foxes playing a double act?
Bai Houping, how did you become the party secretary?

"Ouch, I can't do it anymore! Secretary Bai, if Wang Chengzhou doesn't treat me, whoever wants to harvest the wheat this afternoon can go. Anyway, I won't suffer."

"What kind of son would be willing to go! Anyway, it's better to die from hunger than from pain. If you don't want to work, just leave work. I don't want to do this crop work anymore."

"It's not that Comrade Wang Chengzhou doesn't want to treat us, but what can we do with myrrh? Just for a few watermelons, it's really disappointing."

None of them were stupid. They saw that Wang Chengzhou was angry and shouted loudly on purpose, just to embarrass Bai Zhishu.

"Damn!"

Why couldn't Bai Houping see it?
Such a person is accustomed to adapting to the wind, and immediately acted like he was risking his life, cursed, and threw his hat to the ground, "Lao Guo, why don't you have any eyesight?"

"Who told you that you want to collect money from Comrade Wang Chengzhou? He is here to serve the broad masses of the people. Can we still squeeze his personal interests to meet the needs of the collective?"

"Quick, go to the fields to unload the watermelons. Don't charge me a penny. Send them all to Comrade Wang Chengzhou's house!"

Everyone laughed, waiting for this sentence.

Lao Guo stopped staring, waved his hand, and immediately led a group of people to the watermelon field.

After a while, he rushed back with a rumble.

One person was carrying a sack of watermelon on his shoulders, which together weighed one or two thousand kilograms!
Under the bright sun, everyone was so hot that they were sweating profusely, but they didn't complain at all.

They all pulled up a corner of their shirts and fanned themselves with a bright smile on their sweaty faces.

"It's all here, Chengzhou. Let's rest for a while, and I'll take it to your home when I get my next breath."

"Is the magic medicine for mumps enough now? If it's not enough, let's move it! Anyway, the watermelon yield is high, and one acre of land can produce four to five thousand kilograms. Where is this?"

"Chengzhou, don't be polite! Party Secretary Bai said that others can't eat it, but you are an exception. You don't pay a penny. If you don't use it more, you are a fool!"

The guys opened their mouths wide and laughed, as if they were happier than they were taking advantage of themselves.

After all, in this era of collective mass production, who can make leaders bow their heads like Wang Chengzhou?

Just thinking about this kind of thing makes people feel happy.

Party secretary Bai Houping's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to go against public opinion and grinned along with him.

Wang Chengzhou would naturally not be polite.

Seeing that everyone has stayed up until now in the hot weather for their own sake, without even having lunch.

He immediately waved his hand and said generously:
"Stop talking and eat watermelon!"

"The weather is hot, and everyone has worked hard all morning, so there is a risk of heat stroke. Watermelon is a natural white tiger soup, which can produce fluid, quench thirst, clear away heat and relieve heat. In order to ensure production, just in case, you have to give it to me!"

"Bai Zhishu, you said, these watermelons are for me to treat illnesses. However, the doctor has cured the disease. In order to prevent everyone from getting heat stroke, is it okay for me to do this?"

"No problem, no problem, no problem at all!"

Party secretary Bai Houping bared his teeth and grinned brightly, but his heart was bleeding.

Let a group of ordinary members eat watermelon like this, but this is a treatment that even the leadership team does not have!

"it is good!"

Everyone cheered in unison, their eyes lit up.

Especially the big girls and young wives, smiling coquettishly and happier than anyone else.

When he looked at Wang Chengzhou, the passion in his eyes could melt the snow-capped mountains.

The guys stood in the shade of the tree, holding the big watermelon in their arms and beating it open with their fists, no longer needing to cut it with knives.

Then break it into pieces and distribute them to everyone.

Even a group of patients in Yanggao Village enjoyed the meal and were so happy that they were dumbfounded.

He thought to himself: We are all from the same production brigade, so the treatment in Wangjiacun is so good?
Everyone ate very roughly and happily!
What’s the point of not having lunch?

Being able to hold a big watermelon and gnaw it to my heart's content is something I wouldn't even dare to think about normally.

Everyone had a full stomach, and then the watermelon was delivered to Wang Chengzhou's house.

Laughter and laughter all the way.

Just as it happened, the two stoneware pots at home grew a layer of shiny watermelon frost, which was enough for several patients in Yanggao Village.

After a few earth remedies and acupuncture, several people became much happier.

I can obviously feel that my body has lost a lot of weight.

I couldn't help but hold Wang Chengzhou's hand and say goodbye warmly.

As for money, of course there is none.

They were all fellow villagers in the same production team, and Party Secretary Bai once again said that Wang Chengzhou could use the watermelons in the field as he pleased, as long as it was to treat illnesses and save people.

Regardless of your original intention, you have indeed done a good thing for the people!
Wang Chengzhou has no reason to accept money.

The family is preparing lunch.

Wang Aiduo squatted in front of the watermelon pile in a daze, with stars in his eyes and drool almost flowing out of the corners of his mouth.

I have never been so happy.

In order to increase the production of watermelon frost as soon as possible, Wang Chengzhou borrowed a dozen clay pots from his neighbors and asked Xu Xiaozhi to trouble Uncle Changsheng and let him go to the city to buy some Glauber's salt tomorrow.

Of course, this will require spending money.

But Wang Chengzhou was not worried at all.

Now, the reputation of watermelon frost is out.

Swollen cheeks are becoming popular again.

As a health worker in the Wang family production brigade, there is no problem in treating members of the team without charging. However, if people from other production teams or even other communes come, it is a bit unreasonable to treat the members without charging.

Moreover, you can spread the earth recipe and teach it to health workers in each village.Anyway, it's just watermelon frost and vinegar, it's not complicated.

Besides, Tufangzi was developed just for the convenience of the working people, so there is no need to hide it.

At that time, Wang Chengzhou won't even need to take action, he will just be selling watermelon frost.

Maybe, one of the rare members of the team would make an exception and let him spoil the watermelon, but he could be a blessing in disguise and make a fortune.

Let Bai Houping show his face in the commune.

What is lost is harvested in the east, and the ancients are sincere and will not be deceived by me!
There are only three adobe houses in the house and there is not that much space.

Wang Chengzhou called several educated youth comrades, led them, set up a shelf, and placed stoneware pots in their homes.

and tell them the collection process.

Seeing the magical scene in front of them, which was like a chemical experiment, the three boys Zhao Yu, Xu Wannian and Diao Qingsong were so moved that they almost cried.

It is said that I have been in the countryside for almost half a year, and I can finally do some work that uses my brain.

If it weren't for Wang Chengzhou, they would have almost forgotten that they were intellectuals.

Makes people dumbfounded.

Facts have proved that Wang Chengzhou’s expectation was correct.

In the afternoon, more and more people are sick, and mumps is spreading.

After all, it is a respiratory infectious disease, spread through droplets.

At that time, people's awareness of hygiene was relatively weak, and conditions were limited.

When working in the fields, the weather is hot and you need to drink a lot of water.However, not everyone can afford a kettle. A large white plastic jug is often filled with water and placed under the shade of a tree, shared by many people.

At most, there are distinctions between men and women.

In this way, many people will be infected.

The treatment left Wang Chengzhou numb.

Moreover, children are the hardest hit by swollen cheeks.

Faced with those little guys, Wang Chengzhou was not easy to give acupuncture, so he could only use watermelon cream and vinegar.

Otherwise, when I see the shining silver needle, I will be so frightened that I cry.

It's so noisy that people's brains hurt!
Resulting in high consumption of watermelon frost.

Fortunately, we all accompanied Wang Chengzhou to capture Bai Houping's army, and we got thousands of catties of watermelon.

Otherwise, it really won’t be available for use.

That's it, it's still the case that the members of Shuixi Village haven't shown up yet.

I don't know if it was because of the fight the day before yesterday, but no one from Shuixi Village came to seek medical advice.

When everyone talks about this, I have to admire their tenacity.

Unexpectedly, they found out in the evening that the reason why they had not come to Wang Chengzhou was because Chen Weihong brought some watermelon frost back from the county.

Since Wang Chengzhou had taught him, he followed the example of gourds and gourds and used earth medicine to treat the members of Shuixi Village.

Although there is no acupuncture blessing, the effect is not bad.

At least, it won't be so uncomfortable that I can't do my job.

However, this situation did not last long.

By the third day, those bastards were gone.

First, the watermelon frost that Chen Weihong bought from the county town was limited, and he would definitely run out of it. Second, as the number of people infected increased, the consumption increased. Even Mr. Chen's wallet was a little overwhelmed.

So, when the family came back from work, as soon as it got dark, Chen Weihong arrived.

He stood at the door with a playful smile and shouted repeatedly.

"What?"

Thinking on his heels and knowing his purpose of coming, Wang Chengzhou would naturally not give him a good look.

"Nothing."

Chen Weihong bared her teeth and stuffed a bag of stuff into his arms, "Wang Chengzhou, this is a little bit of kindness that the cadres of Shuixi Village asked me to bring you."

"Actually, just some green beans."

"In this hot weather, people tend to get angry easily. Drinking some mung bean soup is good for your health."

Wang Chengzhou held it in his hand and touched it. It was about four or five kilograms.

That’s a lot!
The yield of mung beans is very low, and they are usually grown in patches in the fields. They are also a rarity in rural areas.

Only after the land was contracted to each household, everyone became more enthusiastic about growing grains, the yield increased a lot, and they no longer went hungry, did they start planting miscellaneous grains on a large scale.

Normally, this stuff is used as a detoxifying medicinal material.

Mung beans are sweet in taste and cold in nature, enter the heart and stomach meridian, and have the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuresis and relieving heat, reducing swelling and relieving itching.

It has a good effect on pesticide poisoning.

In the 90s and [-]s, large-scale cotton planting began in the Central Plains. When pesticides were applied, many people did not have adequate protection and were easily poisoned.

The first thing everyone thinks of is to make a pot of mung bean soup.

As long as it's not particularly serious, it can usually be cured.

Modern scientific research has found that mung beans are rich in protein, tannins and flavonoids, which can combine with organophosphorus pesticides, mercury, arsenic and lead compounds to form precipitates, reducing or losing their toxicity, thereby achieving the purpose of detoxification.

Mung bean detoxification can be regarded as the experience gained by the working people in practice.

However, do you want to kill yourself with just a few kilograms of mung beans?
The young men from the two villages had been beaten to a bloody head and had a deep hatred.

Wang Chengzhou is just one of the participants. He cannot get any benefits and just say it will be resolved.

This matter will only be over if all the young people in Wangjia Village calm down.

"Stop it!"

Wang Chengzhou glared at him and pushed Mung Bean back, "As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what kind of shit you're going to poop."

"Everything else is easy to talk about, but watermelon frost, no!"

"We in Wangjia Village don't have enough men, old and young, so we can't take care of the bastards in Shuixi Village."

Chen Weihong scratched her head. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward and not give him any face.

But for the sake of the old and young men in the village, he still said shamelessly:
"Wang Chengzhou, you are just lying."

"Everyone knows that Party Secretary Bai Houping has given you great power. As long as you ask, you can use the watermelons in the field as you please. Just for the first time, I gave you one or two thousand catties."

"I heard someone say that if you just made dozens of clay pots for producing watermelon frosting, there might not be enough."

Wang Chengzhou tilted his face and said angrily:
"Okay, you kid is still investigating me!"

"To tell you the truth, we are indeed preparing to produce watermelon frost on a large scale. However, we have just started production. Will watermelon frost fall from the sky immediately?"

"No means no, it will be the same when you Chen Weihong comes!"
