Chapter 111

"Eldest brother, little brother, come and have a look too, Dong'er saw something interesting here." Shen Lidong stared at the medicinal materials on the booth with shining eyes.

The man guarding the medicinal material stall was an old man in his fifties, dressed very plainly, as if he was from a farmer's family, but Shen Lidong found that the old man's eyes were very sharp when looking at people.

"Little girl, are you interested in coming to the old man's booth and identifying these medicinal materials?" As soon as the old man finished speaking, there were a few laughs from the crowd.

"You said this old man is really interesting. Don't you hope that the little girl is too young to understand? Is that clearly a grasshopper? Do you think grasshoppers can also be used as medicinal materials? It's really funny." Among the crowd One person pointed to the booth and laughed.

"And that one is feed for cattle and sheep. Achnatherum splendens is not a medicinal material at all." Another person said with his arms folded.

"Also, also, is that the peeled orange peel, can it be used as medicinal material after drying? Isn't this old man crazy?"

"Don't talk about the orange peel. The two on it are wild vegetables that poor people have no food to eat. One is purslane and the other is shepherd's purse. The old man also put these two as medicinal materials. It's crazy."

Those people in the crowd were judging one by one, sneering and sarcastic, but Shen Lidong stared at the old man in front of the booth with bright eyes, she knew that these things placed on the booth, which were not regarded as medicinal materials by those doctors, were actually medicinal materials , are all medicinal materials that can cure diseases and save lives.

"Little girl, if the old man's guess is correct, the little girl will recognize these, and her thoughts are different from theirs, right?" The old man kept staring at the expression on Shen Lidong's face without missing a single point. He naturally could see that Shen Lidong was very interested in these medicinal materials on his booth, and it was very possible that the little girl in front of him knew the uses of these medicinal materials.

To be honest, he has been setting up a stall here for seven days, and he is used to the cynicism and sarcasm of the doctors who come and go, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.

What he cared about was that he might have to go back disappointed when he came out this time.

I just didn't expect that on the last day, there would be an exception. This was the only doctor who didn't laugh at the medicinal materials he put out. Although this doctor looked too young, he seemed to be just a medicine boy.

But don't ask where the hero comes from, and don't judge people by their smallness. Maybe this little drug boy has great abilities. The old man stroked his beard and looked at Shen Lidong lovingly.

"Little girl, can you try?"

"If I try it, will the old man give me all the medicinal materials in this stall for free?" Shen Lidong looked at the medicinal materials in the bags next to him, including psyllium seed, yam, angelica, honeysuckle, Codonopsis pilosula, etc. Looking at the standard of this medicine, it is almost comparable to the medicinal materials in the pharmacy in her medicine field space.

Shen Lidong was also curious about this point, and she wanted to know how these medicinal materials were processed. Up to now, she still has many varieties of medicinal materials that cannot be processed so well?
When the old man saw that Shen Lidong was really going to try, the smile in his eyes deepened.

"That's it, please tell the girl one by one, and tell me what kind of disease these medicinal materials can be used to cure. Of course, the girl only needs to pick three things and say it. As long as the words are correct, the old man will treat them All the medicinal materials on the stall will be provided for free." The old man rarely met such a person, so naturally he didn't want to embarrass Shen Lidong, as long as she said three things right, he decided to let the little girl pass the test.

When Shen Lidong heard the old man say this, he didn't refuse, picked up the Achnatherum splendens from the stall, and said with a smile.

"This thing is called Achnatherum splendens. It likes to grow on the sandy soil of saline-alkali flats buried deep in groundwater. It can be collected in low-lying valleys, lakesides, river banks and other places. It is eaten by various livestock all year round. Camels and cattle like to eat it. Followed by horses and sheep, this is the role of Achnatherum splendens as forage." Shen Lidong paused when he said this.

"Most people in the world know that Achnatherum splendens is feed for cattle and sheep, but they have not discovered that Achnatherum splendens is still a medicinal material. Achnatherum splendens is sweet and light in taste, flat in nature, its stem can diuresis and clear away heat, and its flowers can stop bleeding. If children have trouble urinating, use Achnatherum splendens flower , plantain, wheat cobs, remove the wheat kernels, each one is a qian, and you can decoct it in water." After Shen Lidong finished talking about the medicinal uses of Achnatherum splendens, he picked up the dried orange peels from the stall.

"Orange peels can be dried and washed together with tea leaves, or brewed alone. Its taste is fragrant, refreshing and ventilating. Orange peels also have the functions of regulating qi and reducing phlegm, strengthening the stomach and dehumidification, and lowering blood pressure. It is a very good Chinese herbal medicine. It can be washed and dried, soaked in white wine, and can be drunk in about 20 to [-] days. It can clear the lungs and reduce phlegm. The longer the soaking time, the better the taste of the wine .”

After hearing this, the old man showed joy, picked up the grasshopper from the stall and asked Shen Lidong. "Little girl, do you know about the herbal medicine Grasshopper?"

"Gadkats, born in wasteland grass and bean fields, can be caught in summer and autumn. After being caught, they are scalded to death in boiling water, dried or dried, which can cure edema, oliguria, swelling and pain of waist and knees, wet beriberi, etc." After finishing speaking, he smiled and showed his neat little teeth. "Grandpa, am I right?"

"The little girl's words are really accurate, and the old man admires it." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, pointing to the purslane and shepherd's purse on the stall. "Little girl, why not talk about these two herbs."

"But grandpa, I only know the three kinds of medicinal materials. My elder brother told me this. As for these two kinds of herbs, I only know that they are wild vegetables that can be eaten. My sister has dug them up the mountain. Mushroom stewed these two wild vegetables to make soup, it tastes very good. But since the grandfather put this wild vegetable as a medicinal material, I believe that this wild vegetable can also be used as a medicinal material." Shen Lidong said, pulling the back Wang Xiaosi. "Grandpa, how about it, I don't know much, you can ask my senior brother, my senior brother knows it very well, I have been studying medicine with master for ten years." Shen Lidong blinked at Wang Xiaosi , Eldest Brother, it’s up to you, the Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinal Herbs shown to you is not for nothing, you have to show your hands once in a while to show off to Dong’er.

Wang Xiaosi was pulled in front of the old man by Shen Lidong, facing everyone's eyes, his expression was a bit unnatural and restrained.

"Junior Sister, it's better not to make trouble, let's go quickly, Master Wu may be looking for the three of us everywhere." Wang Xiaosi wanted to pull Shen Lidong out to find Master Wu.

Unexpectedly, Master Wu was already in the crowd, he saw clearly Shen Lidong's behavior just now, now that Shen Lidong pushed Wang Xiaosi out, he didn't understand what the little girl was thinking, so he immediately cooperated Focusing on Shen Lidong, he took a few steps forward, and said to Wang Xiaosi: "Little Si, since your junior sister said it, you can try it, don't be modest, the way you learn can only be put to good use. OK."

"In this way, the little girl learned about these three herbs from this young man. Then, this young man, I will ask you, what is the medicinal use of this purslane?" The old man stared at With Wang Xiaosi.

Seeing the encouraging eyes from Shen Lidong, Wang Xiaosi also saw that shopkeeper Wu agreed with him to give it a try, so he no longer refused, and stepped forward with a reddish complexion.

"Purslane, also known as purslane, five-element dish, longevity grass, etc., grows in fields, roadsides, and courtyards. The young leaves and stems are collected and can be eaten fresh or dried for storage. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that purslane Amaranth is cold in nature, sour in taste, non-toxic, has the functions of dispersing blood, reducing swelling, detoxifying, treating stranguria, enhancing intestinal function, and relieving thirst. It is mainly used for 36 kinds of wind diseases, etc. " As soon as Wang Xiaosi finished speaking, he fell ill. A bright smile from Lidong, and an outstretched thumb in appreciation.

"Brother, it's amazing." Shen Lidong said softly, his voice was very low, but the old man heard it clearly, he smiled and glanced at Shen Lidong, then picked up the shepherd's purse and asked Wang Xiaosi.
