Chapter 696 696. Cut some Artemisia serrata
"I can't guarantee that."
Guo Dong said honestly: "This is moxibustion, not taking a magic pill. How can you achieve any effect you want? It depends on you."
She said it quite bluntly: "Look at you, you haven't moved for a long time, and your limbs are gradually getting weak. The spleen governs the limbs, so the circulation must be poor."
"Moxibustion can make you more energetic, but you have to move at least! Do some housework, feed the pigs and dogs... I don't believe that you don't exercise all day long?"
Zhang Yanping: ...Is it wrong to be a little lazy?
The biggest amount of exercise he has done in the past few days is going up and down the stairs. If he were at home, his mother would look at him with disdain, but she would be so distressed when she saw him looking so dark that she wished she could send him food!
Guo Dong took back the moxa stick and pointed at the window: "I'll go out first, you can close the window a little later..."
The new moxa has heavy smoke, and it is wrapped in ordinary white paper, so it is a bit choking when it burns. Fortunately, the smell of moxa is strong enough, so it is not so unbearable.
She went downstairs leisurely. Several aunts in the corridor have resumed their work. Qiao Qiao was happily rubbing moxa sticks, and a small pile of them had been piled up.
Seeing her coming down, everyone talked at once:
"Doctor Guo, is it convenient for me to see you after lunch?"
"I'll have a simple lunch today. After I finish my work here, can I go there after ten o'clock?"
"Doctor Guo, can moxibustion cure cough? My granddaughter has been coughing, and she hasn't gotten better after being sent back to her hometown..."
Guo Dong responded one by one with a good temper. Seeing Zhang Yanping coming down the stairs again, without any equipment in his hand, he knew that he really left the camera in the room.
——Hypnosis live broadcast, really focusing on hypnosis to make up time.
She remembered the way this man was unreliable, and now her expression was quite serious: "Song Tan, your cousin's health is also a little bit wrong. Don't let him sit at home all the time. It won't hurt to do some work when he has nothing to do."
This is what he said. Although it is half idle now, is there still work to do at home?
Not only him, but even the seventh cousin said "Oh", "It just so happens that there is a job here... Yanping, I think the chrysanthemums on the hillside are growing well. You can pick some in the morning and evening to dry them."
The wild chrysanthemums here are small and really inconspicuous. The flower buds are about the size of mung beans.
But if the sun is good that year, the flower buds can be picked and dried, and the soaked ones have the fragrance of Hami melon, which is so good.
Over the years, no one has picked them in my hometown. This flower has become rare. Fortunately, Song Tan's new two or three hundred acres of land are all gentle slopes, and there are clusters of gullies and bumps, so it looks quite a lot.
Zhang Yanping's eyes widened instantly - it's so hot, even if he goes to pick chrysanthemums in the morning or evening, he will sweat all over! How can it be more comfortable in an air-conditioned room?
He tried to find an excuse: "Just standing there picking chrysanthemums, I can't exercise."
"It's okay," the seventh cousin was very considerate: "Just let you get familiar with the working environment first. In two days, you have to cut two trucks of Artemisia annua for me. I'm going to dry some soybeans."
"Come, go to the warehouse and move a hundred kilograms of soybeans for me."
A hundred kilograms? !
Zhang Yanping instantly looked at Song Tan.
It's not that he is useless, it's just that the hard work at home is not as good as his cousin!
However, Song Tan was there pretending to look at the moxa sticks, and at the same time he looked concerned about him:
"Brother Yanping, don't be so serious. I said a hundred kilograms, but I didn't ask you to take it all at once? You can move ten kilograms at a time."
Zhang Yanping: ...
In short, if I don't ask him to do some work today, you will feel uncomfortable, right?
He thought sadly: If I had known this, he would have been the first guinea pig! Now, Xin Jun is sleeping upstairs, while he is moving soybeans here...
...
Zhang Yanping's regret obviously came too early.
There are so many people in the family, including the seventh cousin who brought Master Qian's apprentice Wang Xiaoshun. But the two of them together made him run around.
"You kid, why are you so stupid? The beans are here, you wash them with water. Pick out the bad ones by the way."
Zhang Yanping tried to give up: "I don't know how to do it. What if the good beans are picked away? That would be a waste!"
Who knew that Wang Xiaoshun was more patient than him. He squatted beside the pool with him and pointed at the soybeans soaked in water in the basin: "Let me teach you - it's obvious, the bad soybeans are the ones that have changed color, and the ones that float on the surface no matter how you mix them..."
It was so simple that even Zhang Yanping, who was thick-skinned, couldn't stand it.
The soybeans this year are growing well, plump and round, and they are dried and bright yellow.
The rushing water makes them look not turbid. Even the bad beans are picked out in very few places.
But this job is also very laborious. Apart from other things, you have to stir them constantly, and wash hundreds of kilograms of soybeans one by one...
Before leaving, Guo Dong took a look and thought: The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and the limbs are right, but no matter how you regulate them, it is not as fast as him stirring the beans here.
Hundreds of kilograms of beans are soaking in water, and there are five or six large basins in the yard - this is not over yet!
Seeing that it was noon, the seventh cousin ordered again: "Take a break after dinner, wait for Lianhua to clean the pots, and you can light a fire at the stove and cook beans."
He was holding a bowl of mung bean soup, and was very satisfied with the freshly-made strong labor: "Oh, these hundred kilograms of soybeans, my three big pots will take an afternoon, right?"
Zhang Yanping's eyes darkened!
Wang Xiaoshun also smiled at him honestly and simply:
"Don't worry, if there is anything you don't know today, I will teach you slowly. My master said that your watermelon tastes good. We are free these two days, so we will help make watermelon sauce."
"It just so happens that I think the red peppers in the vegetable garden are really good, and the sauce will definitely be tasty!"
"With your help, we can make more, and it is very convenient to eat this when we are busy."
Zhang Yanping: ...Or I should take the civil service exam.
Song Tan was in high spirits: "Do it! Uncle Seven, Master Xiao Wang, you guys are busy. If you need help, just tell me. Make more soybean sauce or watermelon sauce. Otherwise, each of us can get 200 kilograms of soybeans - this sauce is just selling now!"
It's not that she wants to squeeze Zhang Yanping, but she just looked at the quotation of the factory on the mountain...
Hiss!
One square meter is 1,200 yuan in total!
What can I say? The income in the first half of the year is used to buy this house at home, and the income in the second half of the year will be spent on the factory!
Luckily, the pruned tea leaves on the mountain have been raised for almost two months, and the autumn tea can be caught up with a wave, otherwise, I have to buy seedlings and cattle and sheep...
The wallet is really unbearable!
It's a headache, and the rest will be made up tomorrow.
The method of making soybean sauce varies from place to place. In some places, the beans need to be fried.
The construction cost of the factory is real (I have a cousin who opened a factory in another village, and I went to ask in detail)
I have drunk wild chrysanthemums with the aroma of Hami melon, and I still like it. It smells really good. If you want to try it, you can look for Jiaozuo pearl chrysanthemum. This is as famous as Jiaozuo yam, and it has a cantaloupe fragrance when soaked.
When I was a child, the school required part-time work, either to hand in coal or chrysanthemums, and I really hated working.
