Chapter 91 The
double grab of pharmaceutical pills lasts for a period of time, from the beginning of late July to the beginning of August, usually about half a month. When the double grab of Zhoujia and Lejia ended on August 2, the double grab of Meicun also ended. Basically over.
After snatching both of them, the whole village most likely knew that Zhou Qiufeng and Yueqing were living together. Some talked about good things and some talked about bad things. No matter what others said, the two parties would always treat the bad things in one ear and the other with kind care. Stupid laugh.
After the early rice was harvested, Zhou Qiufeng was busy drying the grain, taking care of the housework and poultry, and plowing the sweet potato vines; Le was relatively free, and the new mother did not let her do any work, and asked her to take care of her medicinal materials and drying mushrooms.
Enjoying the care of the new mother, Le classmate was a good baby at home, drying the millet and feeding the chicks. After the chicks hatched, she secretly changed the space water to feed the chicks and soaked the rice in the space well water to feed the chicks. There were nineteen chickens in total, all of them were healthy and did not die due to the heat.
At the same time, classmate Le also secretly took out the sweet potato vines in the space to feed the piglets, and also replaced the beans, eggplants, and cabbages grown in the space with those grown at home, because pumpkins and peppers were not grown in the space. Have to change.
The result of cheating is that Le Dad and Zhou Qiufeng have a huge appetite every day, eat very deliciously, and are in good spirits. Especially Zhou Qiufeng, who also engages in double robbery. Not to mention that the women and even the men have lost several kilograms. Even though she was in black and white, she was in high spirits every day, and she was also a little whiter. The villagers didn't know the reason, but they just thought that she was married and in love, so she was in good spirits.
Le Yun knew the reason and continued to change food for the family every day. Of course, she did not dare to give the space well water to the new mother and father to drink. At present, the well water could not be given to her father to drink, as the well water would accelerate wounds. Regarding the healing function, her father's leg injury was a malformation. Drinking well water healed the wound better, which would make future surgeries more difficult.
The days are passing by, and in the middle of the month, autumn begins on August 7. A few days after autumn, the corn harvest will be about to begin.
The ginseng and angelica in the space are irrigated with well water three or four times a day, and their growth rate accelerates. One day and one night is a dry and prosperous period, and ten days is equivalent to ten years of growth.
Considering that the time to go to college is getting closer, Le classmate once again went deep into the mountains to dig for medicine. Although Le's father and Zhou Qiufeng were worried, they still let her do whatever she wanted. The only thing that made them feel more at ease was that this time The girl did not go to Shennong Mountain, but only went to the mountains near the village to look for medicine.
In order to reassure people, Classmate Le accepted that the new mother would be sent to the foot of the mountain in the morning, and if she came down the mountain in the evening, she would call her family to pick her up.
The first time, when she went into the mountains early and came back late, someone in the village saw the girl from the Le family carrying a basket full of stuff, with some vaguely visible fungi.
The next day, she went out late and came back late again, and some villagers saw her carrying a basket, as if there were fungi again. The third time, the villagers thought the fungi were in season, and they also ran up the mountain in twos and threes.
Dad Le and Zhou Qiufeng kept silent when they heard that people in the village went to pick up mushrooms. They would never tell anyone that their girl actually went to dig for medicinal materials. Although there were mushrooms when they came back every day, the quantity was very small.
The fourth time I went to the mountains, classmate Le stayed in the mountains for three days. When he was called to pick him up, Zhou Qiufeng picked him up at the foot of the back mountain in Shangzhuang Township. The child got a basket of herbs and turkey tail mushrooms.
Zhou Qiufeng's expression at that time was: "..." No one else could find a bunch of fungus even though they were running all over the mountain. Their girl never found anything empty-handed every time she went into the mountain. People must know this. Come on, next time we go into the mountain. , there must be a long line of people behind Lele’s butt.
It was the 17th when she returned from the mountains. Le Yun had a night's rest and started making medicine the next day. Le's father and Zhou Qiufeng were not able to help at all. One went to work and the other went to the field. She was alone at home with no one prying. She washed the pot and set it on fire. On the pond, pour the medicinal materials processed in the space into the pot and boil them.
Every time she goes into the mountains, she digs up some commonly used medicines, and then goes into the space to find the medicinal materials used to make medicines, chops them, peels the tendons, and does the preliminary processing. Every time she returns home, she also takes out some common medicinal materials from the space and returns them to her home. Hang and dry.
If you make enough preparations in advance, you won’t be in a hurry when you start making medicine.
Throwing the medicinal materials on the fire and simmering, Le Yun went to the backyard to find a medicine mortar. The medicine mortar was actually called a medicine mortar. It was made of stone. There was a recess in the middle where things could be placed. It was used for pounding rice, etc. The medicine mortar was specially used for pounding rice. Medicine Tools.
The Le family's stone mortar was bought by Mr. Le Tai from someone else. It is made of blue-white stone. The concave part in the middle is oblong and equipped with a grinding wheel. It is also made of stone for grinding. There is a round hole in the middle and a wooden mortar. The stick is placed in a stone mortar and can be stepped on or rolled by hand.
Grandpa Zile passed away and the stone mortar was placed under the eaves of the pig pen behind the house.
Le Yun found the medicine mortar and scanned it with X-rays of her eyes. Apart from the various structural joints emitting various colors of light, there was also a layer of very light and weak white light.
The white light is spiritual energy, but...
silently, Le Yun sighed, knowing that the medicine mortar was a spiritual thing, she couldn't lose space, such a big thing disappeared inexplicably, no matter how careless her father was. If she found out, she wouldn't be able to tell the lie when asked.
The stone mortar is not small, it is more than two feet long, the edge is about ten centimeters thick, and it weighs about eighty pounds. It takes two people to lift it every day.
Classmate Le easily picked up the stone mortar, moved it to the pool in front of the house, and gave it a bath. He washed it over and over again from the inside to the outside, washed it clean, and put it in the sun to dry.
Then go into the kitchen to add firewood, turn on the induction cooker, put in a pot, fry the glutinous rice, and cook two large plates until the rice turns slightly yellow.
After frying the rice, the stone mortar was dried and moved to the hall. Le Yun poured the rice into the concave mortar, put it in the grinding wheel, moved a chair to sit on it, wiped his feet clean, stepped on the grinding wheel stick, and rolled the rice vigorously.
The grinding wheel rolls and grinds the rice grains, making a dense cracking sound. The fried rice is broken and then ground into powder, first coarse and then fine.
Classmate Le kept rolling the grinding wheel back and forth. After a while, he went to the kitchen to light a fire, and then went back to grind the powder again. Grind two large plates of rice into fine powder, take out the mortar, seal it, pour some dried medicine into the trough, and grind it again. Grind medicinal powder.
Zhou Qiufeng went down to the ground to plow sweet potato vines and pull weeds. The Zhou family returned the field to the Le family. Naturally, the land was not planted because it was just the middle of the year and the crops in the field were not yet mature. They would have to be divided after autumn anyway. Brother Zhou Divide some plots of land for the sister to manage, and manage a few plots yourself. After the autumn harvest, the land will be given to the Le family, and next year it will all be managed by the Le family.
Zhou Qiufeng is the daughter-in-law of the Le family and is the housewife. She is in charge of the fields. The millet at home has been dried. She goes to see the field water in the morning and then goes to work in the fields. Remembering that there are girls at home who are making medicines, she ends work early. Just go home.
Before she entered the house, she smelled a strong smell of medicine. She was afraid that the dust on her body would contaminate her child's medicine when she returned home, so she threw the sweet potato vine she brought back at the backyard door, and then covered herself from head to toe. She took several shots before going home. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw little Lele pounding medicine. She couldn't help but be happy when she saw it: "Lele, has your medicine been made?" "
Aunt Feng, you are back. "Le Yun turned her head and saw the new mother, her eyes narrowed: "Not yet, we just started today, it's still early, it will take about two or three days to complete." "Hey, it will take so many days?" Zhou Qiufeng was very surprised
. Enter the house quietly.
"Three or two days is not enough. If the medicinal materials are not chopped and ground into powder, it will take seven or eight days to stew and melt." "
Oh!" Zhou Qiufeng could only sigh. This doctor really needs talent. He needs to call her and Yueqing I definitely don't have the care and patience to sort out those things. I'd probably lose everything, and I can't even remember the names of the medicines.
I washed my face and went into the kitchen. The rice cooker tripped. Then I looked at the fire burning in the fire pit. The big pot for steaming things squatted on the pot shelf. There was a stone on top of the lid. The lid was pressed very tightly. There was no water vapor. It couldn't come out, and there was a sound of water boiling from the pot.
Probably because from the end of June to the beginning of July, God shed all his tears. Since late July, most parts of the country have had little rain. From late June to early August, there was no heavy rain in Fang County, and there was only a little drizzle for three or two days. It's still the kind of shower where the sun rises and rain falls at the same time.
Because it hasn’t rained, the rice straw placed on the rice field ridges or in the open air dries quickly. Most villagers have moved the rice straw home. The corn seedlings also wither quickly. The harvest begins in mid-August. Now everyone dries the corn cobs. , dried in the sun and threshed in a machine, no need to break it manually.
Because the weather was sunny and the sun was strong at noon, Zhou Qiufeng was not in a hurry to go to work, and she had no share in the child's work. She used an induction cooker to boil water, caught a duck herself, butchered it, scalded it, cut it and washed it, leaving half to eat at night and half to eat. Cook in a pot.
After noon, there were no living villagers in the fields until they went to work.
The day passed quickly. When Le's dad came home from work, he saw the sweet little cotton-padded jacket pounding medicine. He and his wife took care of the housework, so the children didn't need to worry about anything. Since they had to boil medicine at night, they naturally had to have someone take care of the fire. Le Dad and Zhou Qiufeng fought to keep vigil, but they were defeated two to one and were driven to bed by their children.
Classmate Le will never let her father and new mother stay overnight. She has to add medicine to the medicine pot. Some of the medicine is placed in space. The water used for medicine is also space well water. Of course, it cannot be seen by others.
Dad Le and Zhou Qiufeng were lying on the bed, listening to the sounds in the kitchen, and fell asleep unconsciously.
After confirming that everyone in the family was asleep, Leyun jumped into the space and went to take care of her one-third acre of land. After finishing her work, she went out to light a fire, then returned to the space to meditate. After a while, she went out to light the fire again, or added medicinal materials and water. , return to space again, and so on.
At dawn, Le Yun woke up from meditating and looked at the medicinal field first. She was so happy that she immediately kicked three feet high. Small matsutake mushrooms grew where they used to grow!
The matsutake mushrooms are very small, with only small heads sprouting out. They are numerous and cover an extremely wide area. They are several meters wider than when they were planted before. This proves that the spores of the old matsutake mushrooms fly very far when they bloom.
At first, after harvesting the first batch of matsutake mushrooms, the place was empty. There had been no response for more than ten days. Le Yun was not in a hurry and watered it every three to five days.
Under natural conditions, it takes five or six years for matsutake spores to grow into a solid form after the spores penetrate into the ground. The soil in space has magical power. New matsutake mushrooms will grow in only twenty days, which is equivalent to shortening the time by dozens of times.
"The life of cheating is so happy!"
Standing outside the medicine field, Le Yun touched the back of her head and giggled. Matsutake can reproduce freely in the medicine field, and there will be endless descendants in the future. There will be no shortage in this life. Matsutake mushrooms can be sold if you can’t finish them all...
Matsutake mushrooms represent a lot of money!
Classmate Le was so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes. He was grinning so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears. He was laughing happily. He thought that it was already dawn and the new mother was about to get up. He no longer cared about the medicine field and hurriedly stepped out of the room. .
As soon as she returned to the kitchen, she heard a slight knock on the door. Le Yun knew it was Aunt Feng who had gotten up, and she couldn't help but sweat. Fortunately, she reacted quickly. If she had indulged for a while, she would have played Dafa.
In fact, Zhou Qiufeng woke up at dawn and heard no movement at home. She was afraid that if Lele happened to be sleeping and woke up too early and disturbed the child, she lay down for a while and waited until dawn.
She opened the door quietly first, took a towel and toothbrush and went to the sink to wash herself. Then she tiptoed back to the house. When she saw her child going to the living room to get herbs, she put her caution away and asked if she had slept well last night before going to the kitchen to cook. food.
Immediately afterwards, Dad Le also got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth. He ran into the kitchen and volunteered to help the girl light the fire. The fire was burning in the kitchen from morning to night, and the temperature was slightly high. He was afraid that the child would be overheated, so he asked her to get some air.
The family of three had breakfast happily. Le's father drove his tricycle and went to work easily. As soon as he reached the village, he was stopped by the village chief.
The village chief is also a Zhou surname, the same generation as Grandma Zhou. He will turn sixty next year. He is very energetic and looks to be about the same age as Le’s dad. Village Chief Zhou stopped Le’s dad and asked with a fierce face: "Yueqing, let me ask you Ah, when are you going to serve the champion wine? It’s almost the end of the month, and your girl is going to the capital soon. You haven’t responded yet, I’m so anxious.” “Uh, this, this, Uncle Zhou Man,
I, I… I’m not ready Set the table." Dad Le was very embarrassed. He was asked by many people these days when the table would be set for the guests, and he was almost embarrassed.
"What, no banquet?" Village Chief Zhou almost slapped Hule's father on the head: "You bastard, our village has never produced a top scholar since ancient times, and it's not easy for your girl to go to high school, but you don't have a banquet to celebrate? Again? This is not the way to save money. Lele has given such a big face to us mud-legged people. You can set up a few tables and let us go to the village to support them. If a family contributes more than a hundred yuan, it will be enough for Lele for a year. Chewing your head."
"Uncle Zhou Man, don't scold me, it's me...my girl won't let the table be set. You know Lele's temper. Xiaofeng and I couldn't resist Lele, so the girl said she wouldn't set the table. We won't set up a table."
Village Chief Zhou waved his hand over, and Le's father shrank his neck. He would not make fun of the village chief. Back then, his leg was broken and he was sluggish every day. The village chief's uncle slapped him and brought him down. He was easily scolded, but now the village chief has a fierce look on his face, and he looks a little frightened.
"Is it Lele's decision?"
"It's what Lele means."
"What is Lele doing these days?"
"Lele is making some tonic pills at home. She started making the medicine yesterday. It may take two days. Then we can call it a day."
"Hey, Lele is dispensing medicine? Hahaha, Yueqing, your girl is more promising than you. Our village may have a miracle doctor in the future. Forget it, get out of here. Seeing you acting like this makes me think. Call you a few times, I'll go see the young champion in my village in a few days."
"Hey!" Le's dad drove away in his car as if he was pardoned.
Father Le was relieved when he arrived at the workshop. Unexpectedly, he was relieved too early. When he got off work in the evening, Boss Wu stopped him again and immediately asked: "Brother Le, when will you set up the table? I'll wait and see." Wait, my hair is already turning gray."
"Boss Wu, my little cotton-padded jacket is not allowed to have a banquet, so I won't treat you. Please bear with me." "
Ah, there won't be a banquet? When will little Lele go to school?"
"Qingda 28 Starting to receive new students on the 28th, Lele did not get a ticket after the 28th, but only got a ticket on the 27th. He is expected to leave home on the 26th." "What bus to take? What time does it leave and what time does it arrive? Try not to take the bus to Beijing in the middle of the night
. No one picked up the train in the middle of the night, so the girl’s home is not safe.”
“I grabbed a second-class high-speed rail ticket. The train departs at around 8 a.m. and arrives at around 2:30 p.m.” “
That’s good, I’m going back to the province at the end of the month. I’m here to see my old mother, and I’ll take your girl with me by the way. I remember that the 27th and 28th are weekends, so you should also go and give your girl a ride.” “…Okay, I’ll go back and tell the
little cotton-padded jacket that it’s good luck to take your ride. , I hope you have a smooth journey." Dad Le felt warm in his heart and nodded heavily. He knew that Boss Wu specifically wanted to send his girl to the provincial capital to help him save some fares. Because he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, he thoughtfully said that he would go back. The old mother at home gave them a ride.
Boss Wu smiled and patted Le's father on the shoulder, asking him to go home quickly.
Dad Le was so impressed that he returned home and saw his wife slaughtering a chicken and scalding it. He felt heartbroken again. He had a caring little cotton-padded jacket, met a good boss, and even had a good wife in middle age. After suffering for more than ten years, my life is also complete.
Zhou Qiufeng felt sorry for her child who had to stay up late to make medicine. She slaughtered chickens and ducks to replenish the child's health. Le's father parked the car and went to help. The couple cleaned the chickens and went home to cook.
When it was time to eat, Le’s father told a mother and daughter that he met the village chief and Boss Wu in the morning and told them to take their children to the provincial capital. Le Yun readily agreed: “Okay, take Boss Wu’s ride. There are many seats in the car.” , Dad and Aunt Feng will go together, and we will go to the provincial capital to visit the night market."
"Okay, I will go too, and let my mother help us feed the pigs for two days." Zhou Qiufeng was filled with joy.
Le's father nodded happily. They just had a girl like this. Instead of sending her to the capital, they could send their child to the provincial capital, and they would have less regrets when thinking about it in the future.
That night, it was still Le who stayed up late to watch the fire. It had been more than two days, but Le's father and Zhou Qiufeng still hadn't seen what the medicine in the pot looked like. Every time they came home and saw rocks pressing on the pot, they could only smell a little bit. The medicinal smell that oozes out has a very nice aroma.
On the evening of the third day, the couple found that only one of the ginseng and angelica trees that their children had planted in the back garden was left, and the rest were missing. They thought someone had quietly stolen them, but in the evening they found out that it was Lele who had taken them and threw them into the pot. For pharmaceutical use.
That night, it was another all-nighter.
Dad Le and Zhou Qiufeng got up early in the morning and saw that the pot was still simmering on the fire. They couldn't help but sweat. This medicine is so durable! The two didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of affecting the child's mood.
That day was the 21st, and classmate Le's aunt was preparing for the day in the morning. She had no choice but to endure the discomfort and stay up late until eight o'clock in the morning. When she opened the lid, she found that one can only hold a bucket of water. The cauldron contains a layer of concoction, which is like jelly, lighter in color than black and dark green in color.
Without saying a word, Classmate Le took out a large plate of filtered green concoction from space and poured it in, then added a few bowls of space well water, covered it with a stone, and then boiled it.
After simmering for an hour, I opened the lid again. There was a layer of thick juice in the pot. I placed four large soup bowls and a small porcelain bowl. I took a spoon and poured the concoction into the bowls, covered the bowls with lids, and poured it into the pot. Make a few concoctions and boil them again.
After simmering for half an hour, the medicine in the pot is as thick as kneaded dough, thick but not solidified.
Turning on the pot and putting it on the stove, Le Yun took out a ceramic basin, poured some finely ground rice powder, poured the concoction in the pot into the porcelain basin, then poured a few bowls of the concoction left in the space into the pot, and put Pour the concoction that you scooped out earlier into two bowls, cover it and simmer again. While watching, add rice flour into the ceramic basin, stir constantly until it forms a ball like dough, and then knead it into approximately 10 pieces. Put the meatballs as big as pigeon eggs in a sieve to cool. After kneading, fill two sieves and put them on a shelf in the living room to cool.
Looking back, the concoction boiled over the fire is almost done. Boil the concoction until it becomes thick and put it on the fire. Pour it out. Then put the pot on the fire and add the concoction. Pour the last two bowls of concoction into it and let it continue. After boiling, she mixed the rice flour, kneaded the dough and formed the balls.
The second batch of pills is relatively small and can be filled with only one dustpan. After kneading the second batch of pills and then kneading the third batch, there is still only one dustpan.
All the medicine in the four large soup bowls was used up, and only the medicine in the small porcelain bowl was still there. When the third pot of medicine was boiling, another spoonful was taken out and put in, and then it was stored in the space for storage after cooling.
After kneading the meatballs, cleaning the pots and pans, pouring water into a basin and placing them in the house, he then took the pots and bowls outside to clean. After cleaning the tools, Mr. Le lay on the table in the living room, keeping the pills cold.
It was the weekend, and Le's father also went to the fields to weed weeds. Zhou Qiufeng was afraid that the girl would be hungry, so he finished work at eleven o'clock and went home to cook. He smelled a very fragrant fragrance from a distance, washed his face and hands quickly, then ran home, and looked at the door There were several long benches in the room, with sticks on them, and sieves and dustpans on them, containing round meatballs, some gray and some ebony.
Little Lele lay on the table, looking eagerly at the door. When she saw herself, she showed a big smile and ran quickly: "Lele, you succeeded." "Yes, it's done." Leyun said lazily
. Lying on the table, smiling so brightly that she showed her good teeth, she stood up when the new mother came near and dragged her to see the results.
"Lele, what is this for?"
"Aunt Feng, I mainly do it for you. You have gynecological inflammation. I will help you prepare the side medicine. You can start taking it after your menstruation is clear. Take the medicine in the sieve first, and then take the medicine in this dustpan. Before going to bed at night. Take it with warm water. I will take some other medicines to school."
"For me?" Zhou Qiufeng's heart tightened and her nose felt a little sore.
"Yes, I checked your pulse and observed your complexion, eyes and tongue coating for several days. You have severe gynecological inflammation and some stomach problems. After taking this medicine, I will see the effect when I come back from winter vacation. "
Since her eyes have X-ray scanning function, Le Yun has observed Aunt Feng. Aunt Feng's ovaries are weak, her eggs are small and weak, and her uterus is inflamed. In such a situation, it is difficult to have children. Of course, she did not tell the truth, otherwise Feng Auntie will be sad.
"..." There were hot water drops rolling in Zhou Qiufeng's eyes. Xiao Lele stayed up for three days and three nights to help her prepare the medicine. This kindness is more precious than gold. All she can do is take good care of her children and Yueqing. Let father and daughter have no worries.
