Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 38
Wang Jing pointed to the field where the weeds had been pulled out, and said slowly: "Old patriarch, I still need to open a canal next to the medicine field, so that Pharmacist Li can water the medicine field without having to travel far."

Medicine fields are more difficult to manage than rice fields, and proper amount of water is needed to get good fertilizer.

Wangjing is very thoughtful, and in order to make it easier for Li Jingjing to take care of the medicine field in the future, he thinks very carefully for her.

The old patriarch smiled and said, "That's easy to say. I'll let the clansman extend the ditch in the clan to the side of the medicine field."

Master Li came over excitedly and asked, "Boss, I have read everything, and I also asked Li Yaoshi, so I built the medicine animal pen in the backyard of her house, so that she can take care of the medicine animals at any time."

Wang Jing nodded and said, "Everything is up to Pharmacist Li. I'll ask Pharmacist Li, what kind of beast do I need?"

The old patriarch followed Wangjing to Li's house, witnessed Wangjing talking respectfully to Li Jingjing, and was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time.Feeling in my heart: Li Laoshi's guest and daughter are simply too difficult, Li Laoshi is really lucky.

In the evening, Wang Jing stayed at Qu Kuaishou's house. He asked Master Li to take [-] tenant farmers who had done their work well and meticulously to Taihe Town to stay in an inn and live in Datong Shop. Come over after breakfast.

On the sixth day of arrival, the wasteland at the end of Qujia Village turned into a fertilized medicine field. The stench of urine and excrement wafted away and could be smelled from a mile away. After entering the ground, the smell will fade away, and you can plant some herbs that like to eat fat.

About one-third of the field in the backyard of the Li family now stands a medicine animal pen built with bricks and tiles.

At present, there are a pair of goats with dirty fur in the pen. The female goat has a round belly and is pregnant. There are also two pairs of fat jackrabbits, four full moon puppies, and two pairs of puppies. A big goose with gray and white feathers that loves to chase children.

When the work is done, Wang Jing is praised by Li Jingjing, and he leaves Qujia Village with Master Li and the tenants. When leaving, Li Yunqing is specially allowed to stay at home until he teaches Li Jingjing how to grow medicinal herbs and raise medicinal animals before returning to Guanli.

After the two heavy rains, every morning, Li Jingjing changed into coarse cloth and followed Li Yunqing to the medicine animal pen to feed the medicine animals, then went to the medicine field to scatter the seeds of the medicine in the field, and then hoeed the weeds. At dusk and sunset, they went to the medicine field Water the herbs that have sprouted.

As long as the children in Qujia Village have free time, they come to help Li Jingjing tidy up the medicinal herbs, and go to the field to cut the grass for the beasts to eat.

Day after day, before you know it, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and it has entered early summer.

The herbs in the medicine field have been carefully taken care of by Li Yunqing brothers and sisters. Seventy percent of the more than [-] kinds of herbs have survived. These herbs are not only the wild vegetables in the mountains that the villagers know, but also some Gouqi and Gastrodia elata that can only be seen in the pharmacy. , Angelica etc.

The number of medicine beasts in the medicine animal enclosure has increased, and a pair of big gray rabbits gave birth to a litter of four little gray rabbits.Two big female geese produced 23 fluffy goslings.

Li Yunqing stayed in Qujia Village, but no one from the pharmacy came to remind him, and the monthly wages were not missed.

He discussed with Li Jingjing and planned to go back after the Dragon Boat Festival.

One afternoon at the beginning of the afternoon, under the centuries-old pagoda trees full of white pagoda flowers in Qujia Village, there were a few old men and women chatting in the cool air.

From a distance, I saw Li Laoshi in a blue shirt and black pants rushing forward with seven Taoist priests empty-handed.

Except for Guangmingzi, Wangfeng, and Wangyang who all recognize each other, a middle-aged Taoist priest looks familiar, and the other three Taoist priests look familiar.

The inquisitive old woman couldn't help asking: "Chang Sheng, are these priests going to your house?"

Li Laoshi walked a little slowly and was left behind by the six priests. He hurriedly turned his head and replied, "Sixth aunt, they want to meet my sister Jing."

The old woman waited for the few people to go away, frowned and said to the old men: "Are these Taoist priests going to accept Miss Jing as a Taoist nun?"

I heard that there are a few beautiful Taoist nuns in Qingyun Temple in Tanzhou. They wore Taoist robes at a young age, separated from their families, and lived alone in the temple.

An old man shook his head and said: "Guanli is suffering very much. Miss Jing is so soft and cute. Even if she agrees for a long time, his guest and his mother will definitely not agree."

Several old people began to worry about Li Jingjing's fate.

The Li family was still taking a lunch break. They heard that it was a great pharmacist from Baiyun Temple, the capital thousands of miles away. They hurriedly got up from the bed. Even Li Yunxiao knew that he was a distinguished guest, so he didn't dare to make a fuss about the bed, so he quickly put on his coat. pants.

Li Laoshi invited the six priests to sit in the main room and eat tea, dried fruit, fruit and snacks.

Qu Shi was the first to come in, looking at the seven Taoist priests, the two sitting in the middle, one is Guang Mingzi, and an old Taoist priest with gray hair and dusty Taoist robes, he should be the great pharmacist of Baiyun Temple, he stepped forward and gave blessings Yifu said excitedly: "The Qu family of the Li family has met the great pharmacist and Taoist priest."

The great pharmacist sat still, Guang Mingzi introduced to him: "Brother, she is Li pharmacist's grandma."

After Li Jingjing combed her hair and came in to salute, the great pharmacist stood up and said in a loud voice: "The old Daoist Daoist Yuan Hongzi is the first disciple of the God of Medicine Chi Lingzi, and he is currently the chief pharmacist of Baiyun Temple. Guang Mingzi wrote to my master, Send me the ointment you made. After the master tested the medicine, he cherished your talents and sent me here to evaluate your medicine skills."

Li Jingjing saw that Yuan Hongzi was thin and tall, with gray hair but the appearance of a young man, with a Chinese character face, jade-like skin, black eyebrows that were about to enter the temples, a gallbladder nose and red lips, Taoist aura wafting all over his body, like a fairy, like a fairy. The hundred-year-old Taoist pharmacists who were acquainted with each other in the previous life were even better in temperament.

She looked closely at Yuan Hongzi's sincere tone, but his face was expressionless. He seemed to be a kind-faced and hard-hearted person. Otherwise, how could he become the chief figure of Baiyun Temple, the Taoist headquarters where great pharmacists gather.

The seven Taoists looked at Yuan Hongzi as the leader, and when he opened his mouth, even Guang Mingzi, who was always open-mouthed and uninhibited, fell silent.

Li Jingjing asked straight to the point: "What do you want to test me for?"

Yuan Hongzi glanced at Guangmingzi, and said, "You haven't passed the pharmacist exam, and you are not yet a pharmacist recognized by the court. The medicine you make can only be given to others but not sold, and you can't be called a pharmacist. I will test your knowledge of medicine first." , and take the practical medicine test. If you are not ready, I will come back tomorrow."

Guang Mingzi frowned slightly.In his opinion, Li Jingjing's medicine skills have reached the level of a great pharmacist, so why not call her a "pharmacist".

Li Jingjing rubbed her eyes and said, "Can you sit and test me? I'll go drink some water first."

She ran to the table of the Eight Immortals and picked up a special small water glass, asked Li Laoshi to pour a glass of cold boiled water, and winked playfully at the sulking Guang Mingzi while drinking the water.

This little action of hers was seen by everyone, and the originally serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Yuan Hongzi sat down and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid at all. He's a child after all."
