Chapter 43 Catch a small gathering

The next day, Zhang Youyou opened her eyes and rubbed her temples. A night of studying had made her brain very full. She was still a little excited now and didn't look tired at all. The amount of knowledge really made her admire her!

"Master, you're awake! Get up quickly, didn't you say you were going to play in the city today?"

The little spirit was immediately happy when his master woke up. He jumped onto the bed and walked elegantly like a cat.
"Well! Don't worry! And can you change my name?"

Tiantian’s master and master are so awkward. Zhang Youyou said that she is an ordinary girl and can’t hold it any longer.

"Then what do I call you, Master?"

Xiao Ling swung his tail and asked curiously, it's just a title, why do you have to change it?

"You can call me sister from now on!"

"Okay, sister, do you want to sign in today?"

"Sign in!"

"The prizes for successful sign-in are as follows: 40 jins of white sugar, 20 jins of brown sugar, [-] jins of tangerines, and a complete set of top-notch silver needles. Please claim them."

"Get it! Speaking of which, you gave me these sign-in items, but I don't dare to eat them blatantly. It's hard to explain their origins."

Zhang Youyou was very happy to see so many rewards, but the fact was also very distressing.
"Sister, you can use it with confidence. All prizes come from legitimate sources. No matter who checks it, they will only be asking for trouble."

"That would be great, thank you Xiaoling."

Zhang Youyou was immediately happy when she heard that. It was certainly nice to have no worries. She opened the acupuncture bag.
Silver needles of different sizes and lengths appeared in front of me, 108 in total.
Last night, after sending Zhou Xiuhua away, she learned basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Unexpectedly, it was just basic knowledge. From exposure to learning, to understanding, to mastery, the amount of basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine exceeded her imagination.

The most basic thing is to write down the names of various medicinal materials, medicinal properties, and even the growth environment of each medicinal material, from seed germination to flowering and fruiting.
The medicinal materials are also all kinds of strange, such as grass on the roof of an old house, even wall ashes, human hair, even urine, ordinary wild flowers on the roadside, rare and exotic grasses in the mountains,

There are also many animals, and various parts of their bodies have certain medicinal value, and when combined with other medicinal materials, they can treat various corresponding diseases.

In Zhang Youyou's eyes before, a useless deadwood vine was too hard to use to cook a pot, but now she can analyze the smell and cross-section of the deadwood and vine to find out what kind of plant it is, what medicinal value it has, and how old it is. , and what diseases can be treated with it,
All in all, I absorbed it for a whole night. Fortunately, I have the skill of photographic memory, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to do it.
"Xiao Ling, do you know how powerful our ancestors are!"

Xiao Ling tilted his head and looked at her. Zhang Youyou just sighed, reached out and scratched its head, got up, packed the bed and went to wash up.
"Today I will just have a simple steamed bun, and later I will take you to a state-owned restaurant to eat local specialties."

"Meow~"

Zhang Youyou glanced at it sideways, took a military green canvas bag and left. She was too lazy to talk, she really thought she was a cat.

It was quite early when we arrived at the entrance of the village. There were only Sun Guaizi and the big ox. We spent [-] cents and a steaming vegetable bun with plenty of oil and water to get on Sun Guaizi’s ox cart.
Sun Guaizi was used to it, so he took it with a few polite words and ate it in a few mouthfuls. After all, he only drank two sips of boiled water in the morning. Now that he had food in his stomach, he felt more comfortable and felt energetic all over his body.He has known the character of Xiao Zhang's educated youth for a long time. Occasionally, he would exchange the eggs he saved for Xiao Zhang's educated youth, so he became very familiar with her and was not so polite or unfamiliar.

Zhang Youyou didn't care. After all, Sun Guaizi exchanged eggs with her, and they would also give her a basket of vegetables. Although it was not worth much to her, for Sun Guaizi, it could fill her belly for several meals.

We say we are going to the city, but we are actually going to the town. But over the past few months, I have learned from the locals that if I open my mouth or shut up, I am going to the city.
"Meow meow~ meow~" There are so many people in this car!Did it squeeze you?

Xiao Ling's voice sounded in my mind, but what outsiders heard was a meowing cat.

"No, you should talk less. Meowing too much will make people upset."

"Meow~" Okay.

Seeing that the little spirit was so obedient, Zhang Youyou held it in his arms and smoothed its fur while looking around.

Soon the cart was filled with six or seven people, the aunt, the wife and the daughter-in-law. Fortunately, they all consciously left their backpacks together, otherwise the cart would not be able to accommodate so many people.

"Little educated youth Zhang, you really want to take the cat with you when you go to the city. Where did this cat come from? Is it quite fat?"

"He came from the mountains. He poured some rice soup and ate it and then left. Seeing that he could catch mice, he kept it. Auntie, I'm going to cut the meat today!"

"Then you are very lucky! I wanted to cut the meat, but I couldn't get a ticket. The New Year pig will be killed in two days, and there will be meat to eat then. Thanks to you, I ate wild boar meat, which will satisfy my craving."

"Auntie was joking. It was just luck. If it hadn't been for everyone's help, I wouldn't have been able to get the meat back."

Zhang Youyou didn't talk anymore after that. The others were chatting with each other very lively.

Finally arriving at the place, Zhang Youyou took a deep breath after getting off the car, and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.
Then I walked around the streets with my cat in my arms, and after searching around I found the small market here. Representatives from each village were here to display various agricultural and sideline products.
There are three times a year, once after the autumn harvest, once before the new year, and once before spring plowing. Before, it was once every month and one day each time. But then the policy changed to now, it became three times a year, three days each time.
She knew this when the aunts were chatting before. Yesterday, Zhou Xiuhua was still saying that she wanted to come, but unfortunately her family did not agree. The most important thing these two days was to go up the mountain to pick up goods and store them for the winter.
"Take a look! The big rooster in our village is very fat! Who wants a hungry chicken?"

"It's cabbage, it's cabbage. The cabbage in our commune is big and white."

Before I even got close, I heard various shouts and bargaining sounds. It was quite lively.

After walking around for a while, I regretted not taking the backpack, but the cabbage and peppers I brought back from home were enough. After thinking about it, I thought it didn’t matter.
Those selling vegetables and buying mountain products are all members from various communes. Usually three people buy things together on behalf of their respective villages.
It's a pity that they don't sell steamed buns, steamed buns, wontons and other cooked foods. It's probably too troublesome!After all, the food is not enough for the villagers to distribute, so it may be used for these businesses.
After walking around for some better quality medicinal materials, I took out a cloth bag from my satchel and put it in. It is not heavy to carry in my hand, and it is not eye-catching. However, the cat walks on its own, and there are too many people. Be careful not to get stepped on or kicked,
Little Ling also had a hard time walking. Fortunately, he is a cat and is very flexible.
"My daughter! My daughter, I finally found you."

There was a loud cry and shouting. Zhang Youyou was still curious, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. Just as he was about to hide away from his body, he was hugged by someone.
My heart tightened and I threw the person away with a strong force. Even though there were so many people around, the woman was also thrown away.
