Became a poor little boy abandoned by his educated youth mother?

Chapter 147 Salvia miltiorrhiza

After sending the people away, Zhang Guihua went to clean the house and found 100 yuan and some bills under the pillow.

He quickly came out with the money and said to An Qingping, "Why are they still keeping money? Hurry up and catch up with them on your bike and return it to them."

An Qingping took a look and said, "Since they've given it to me, just accept it."

He also understood what these people were thinking. He would feel bad if he didn't accept them. If they had any problems in the future, they would help if they could.

It was indeed true. The food they had eaten at the An family these days was much better than what they had in the city. There was meat for every meal. Although they knew that the meat was free in the mountains, they were still willing to give it to them to treat them. Otherwise, it would be worth a lot of money if they exchanged it for something else.

Also, An Xueyan didn't charge for their medical treatment and prescription medicine, which made them feel embarrassed, so they discussed it and pooled 100 yuan and the ticket to keep it.

Why not just give it to me directly?

These grown men couldn't resist Zhang Guihua's enthusiasm. Didn't you see that she was stuffed with a big bag of food before leaving? Gu Chengzhi even had a button torn off.

“They are too polite~”

"Mom, take this money and buy new clothes for you, Dad, and my little sister. You've been busy these past few days." He usually has to go to work during the day, so it is his parents and little sister who entertain guests at home.

"Grandma, put it away and go to the county town to buy clothes tomorrow." An Xueyan also agreed with her father's approach.

But how could the old lady be willing to use it? She had already worn new clothes during the Chinese New Year, so it would be a waste to buy more.

I refused outright: "No, we already have new clothes to wear. We made them for the New Year. Why should we buy more? I'll keep the money for now."

The father and daughter could do nothing about the old lady and could only let her go.

Gu Chengzhi was asked to find someone to look after the house in Jingshi, to prevent anyone from moving in while they were away. The Gu family still had some status in Jingshi, so no one would have any ideas about it as long as they gave a word.

The few people who had left returned to the factory and began to officially produce this ointment. The first batch of finished products was given priority to Gu Chengzhi's military region, and soon many people used it. Everyone was amazed at the effect of the ointment, and some people even went to the hospital to buy it home or take it with them as a backup when they go on missions.

Those who were well-informed also quickly contacted pharmaceutical factories in Beijing to purchase this ointment. For a time, the ointment was in short supply, and the director of the pharmaceutical factory was so happy that he walked with a breeze every day.

None of this has much to do with An Xueyan anymore. She continues to live her life in this quiet little mountain village as usual.

As winter passed and spring came, all things revived. The brigade decided to allocate two acres of land to grow the medicinal herb Aconitum. Since the land did not produce much grain and people heard that it could be exchanged for money, no one objected.

In spring, wild vegetables emerge from the mountains, and some medicinal herbs must be dug out at this time to ensure that their medicinal properties are the best.

During the weekend, the brother and sister followed their friends to the mountains.

The main task of the others was to dig wild vegetables, but the brother and sister came to dig medicinal herbs. They specialized in finding and digging medicinal herbs.

In the distance, Mr. Feng was also digging wild vegetables on the mountain and saw what the brother and sister were doing.

Although he said he would no longer work in traditional Chinese medicine, because Doctor Huang kept talking about it in his ear, he couldn't help but observe An Xueyan more when he saw her.

He muttered quietly: "The protection of medicinal materials is still..."

After reacting, I felt annoyed and said, "Oh, my old habit has come back again. Why am I just looking at something for no reason? It's really..."

An Xueyan didn't notice his behavior and was busy digging dandelions with her butt sticking out.

You can dig up more of these common medicinal herbs in the mountains and stockpile them.

These are the obvious sources of medicinal materials. Only with these can she smuggle the medicinal materials in her space out for use.

After digging this piece, go look for it in other places, looking as you go.

A seedling in the grass caught her attention. "Hey, isn't this a Salvia miltiorrhiza seedling?"

She hasn't planted salvia miltiorrhiza in her space yet. All the medicinal herbs she used before were bought by her father from other places, so her small pharmacy doesn't have much in stock.

I walked over and pulled away the weeds. There were more than one.

"This is the seedling of Salvia miltiorrhiza." An Honglei also followed. He was taught about medicinal herbs by An Xueyan, and he had never seen some of them in real life.

"That should be right. Its leaves are just like what's described in the book. It has a quadrangular stem with grooves and white hairs all over the plant. The leaves are often odd-pinnate compound leaves..."

An Xueyan told her brother the appearance characteristics of Salvia miltiorrhiza, and An Honglei also carefully compared them with the characteristics she described. Although he did not study medicine, he could also learn these pharmacological knowledge.

In the future, if someone is injured or in need outside, these simple herbs may be able to save their lives. This is what their father said. This is his father's experience.

He is a child who listens to advice, so he learned this knowledge very seriously.

After confirming, the two began to dig, digging out all the salvia miltiorrhiza nearby with roots and seedlings. The younger one planned to go home and try to plant it in her own plot of land.

Anyway, you can't be impatient to plant crops. It's also a good idea to choose a small piece of land to plant other things. After a few years, when the policies are not so strict, you can harvest them and sell them or continue to use the rhizomes to expand the scale.

She also picked up a plant from the space and planted it in, and it will soon grow into a patch.

The brother and sister dug out nearly 20 kilograms of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which after drying was about 5 kilograms of dried goods.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them called their friends nearby to go down the mountain together.

"Boss, why are you digging this? It's not a wild vegetable and it doesn't taste good." Ermao looked at the salvia miltiorrhiza in their backpacks in confusion.

"This is a medicinal herb." An Honglei said.

An Xueyan asked: "Brother Ermao, have you ever eaten this kind of medicinal herb?" Otherwise, how would you know it doesn't taste good.

"I encountered it in the mountains before. I was curious so I dug it up and took a bite. It was too bitter and not tasty at all." He still remembers the taste.

"If you come across them next time, you can dig them up and bring them back to me. I'll pay for them. As long as they're in good condition, I'll give you 1 cents per pound. If they're from a previous year, I'll charge extra."

This was said to the people who were with them. She was giving the price for ordinary fresh Salvia miltiorrhiza that had been grown for a few years. This kind of salvia miltiorrhiza was not worth much as long as it was not aged. The purchasing station only charged 3 cents per pound, and they did not care about the age. They bought it by the pound anyway.

When the children heard that they could exchange it for money, they all came over to see what the salvia miltiorrhiza looked like.

"I think I've seen this before. I'll go check it out next time to see if it's still there. An Xueyan, you've got to keep your word." One of the boys, Li Hongbin, said.

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?"

Others still believed in her. After getting along with her for more than a year, they had not been cheated. They also got a lot of benefits from her. An Xueyan was a generous person and she would not be stingy with some food.

After talking to them, they went home. The brother and sister planted half of the salvia miltiorrhiza in their backyard, and found a place to dry the other half to fill An Xueyan's pharmacy.

After a while, she came back with a dark face, messy hair and dirty clothes.
