Chapter 696 696. Cut some Huanghao
“I can’t guarantee that.”
Guo Dong told the truth: "This is moxibustion and not taking an elixir. How can you achieve whatever effect you want? It mainly depends on yourself."
She said it quite straightforwardly: "Look, you haven't moved all the time, and your limbs are getting weak. The spleen controls the limbs, so it must be bad luck."
“Moxibustion will make you a little angry, but you have to move at least! If you have nothing to do, you can also do housework, feed pigs and dogs... I don’t believe it. You haven’t done any exercise all day long?”
Zhang Yanping: ...Is it wrong for people to be lazy?
His greatest amount of exercise in the past few days has been going up and down stairs. If you were at home, no matter how much your mother said she was disgusted, she actually looked at you so darkly that you felt so distressed that you wished you had food at your fingertips!
Guo Dong took back the moxa stick and pointed to the window: "I'll go out first. You can close the window a little later..."
Xinai has a heavy smoke and is wrapped in ordinary white paper, so it is quite choking when burned. Fortunately, the smell of moxa is strong enough and not that unbearable.
She Shi Shiran went downstairs. Several aunts in the corridor had already resumed their work. Qiao Qiao was rubbing moxa sticks happily and had already piled up a small pile on her hands.
Seeing her coming down, everyone was talking:
“Dr. Xiao Guo, would it be convenient for you to see me after lunch?”
“I’ll have a simple lunch today. I’ll finish the work here later. Can I go there around ten o’clock?”
“Dr. Guo, can moxibustion cure cough? My granddaughter has been coughing and she is not getting better even if she is sent back to her hometown..."
Guo Dong responded with good temper. When he saw Zhang Yanping coming down the stairs again without any equipment in his hand, he knew that he had indeed left the camera in the room.
—Hypnosis live broadcast, which really focuses on hypnosis and mixing time.
She thought of the man's unreliable appearance, and now her expression was quite serious: "Song Tan, your cousin also has a slight health problem. Don't let him sit all the time at home. He can do some work if he has nothing to do. It won't hurt."
As you said, even though it’s a semi-farm break now, is there still a lack of work for the family?
Not only him, but even the seventh cousin said "ouch": "There happens to be a job here... Yanping, I think the chrysanthemums on the hillside are growing very well. If you don't mind, pick some and come back to dry them in the morning and evening. Let’s dry it.”
The wild chrysanthemums here have a small flower, which is really inconspicuous at all. The flower bones are about the size of a mung bean.
But if the sun is nice that year, the flower bones are picked and dried, and the scent of cantaloupe is still there after soaking, not to mention how good it smells.
Over the years, gradually no one picked it in my hometown. On the contrary, this flower has become rare. Thanks to Song Tan's new acquisition of the two to three hundred acres of land, there were quite a lot of them because they were all on gentle slopes and had ridges and ridges.
Zhang Yanping’s eyes widened instantly—it’s such a hot day, even if you pick it morning and evening, you’ll still be sweating all over! How can an air-conditioned room be comfortable?
He tried to make an excuse: "I can't exercise even if I stand there picking chrysanthemums."
"It's okay," the seventh cousin said very considerately, "I just want you to get familiar with the working environment first. In two days you have to cut two carts of mugwort for me and I'm going to dry some soy beans."
“Come, go to the warehouse and bring me a hundred pounds of soybeans.”
Hundred ten pounds? !
Zhang Yanping instantly looked at Song Tan.
It’s not that he is hopeless, it’s just that no one in the family can do the hard work as quickly as his cousin!
However, Song Tan was pretending to look at the moxa stick there, while still looking concerned about him:
“Brother Yanping, don’t be so practical. I said a hundred and ten kilograms, but I didn’t ask you to carry it all at once? You can just move ten kilograms at a time.”
Zhang Yanping:…
He thought sadly: If he had known this, he would have been the first guinea pig! Good thing now, Xin Jun is lying down and sleeping upstairs, and 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 and Master Qian’s apprentice Wang Xiaoshun. But the two of them together were able to send him around in circles.
"You kid, why don't you see anything in your eyes? The beans have been brought here. You wash them with water and pick out the bad ones."
Zhang Yanping tried to show off: "I can't do it. What a waste it would be if the good beans were picked away!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoshun was more patient than him. Now he squatted beside the pool with him, pointing to the soybeans soaked in water: "Let me teach you - obviously, this is how bad soybeans change color." Yes, and this kind of thing has to float on the surface no matter how much you mix it up..."
It's so simple that even Zhang Yanping's shamelessness can't bear it.
This year's soybeans are growing well, plump and round, and they are bright yellow and dry in the sun.
The rushing water rushed and soaked, but I didn't see how turbid it was. Even the bad beans are picked out by very few.
But this work is also very labor-intensive. Not to mention anything else, it is constantly stirring and stirring, and hundreds of kilograms of soybeans have to be washed one by one...
Guo Dong took a look before leaving and thought to himself: The spleen governs transportation and transformation, and the limbs are all right, but no matter how he regulates them, they can't be as fast as he stirs the beans here.
One hundred pounds of beans are soaking in water, and five or six large pots are placed in the yard - this is not over yet!
Seeing that it was noon, the seventh cousin ordered again: "You have a rest after eating. When the lotus washes all the pots, you can light a fire on the stove and cook the beans."
He was holding a bowl of mung bean soup and was extremely satisfied with the freshly baked beans: "Ah, these one hundred and ten kilograms of soybeans will take all three of my pots an afternoon, right?"
Zhang Yanping’s eyes darkened!
Wang Xiaoshun also smiled at him honestly and honestly:
"Don't worry, I will teach you everything you don't know today. My master said that your watermelon tastes good. I have two days free, so we can help make watermelon jam."
“I just happened to see that the red peppers in the vegetable garden are really good. The sauce will definitely be delicious!”
“With your help, we can make more. It’s very convenient to have this when you’re busy.”
Zhang Yanping: ...otherwise I should take the civil service exam.
But Song Tan became more energetic: "Do it! Do it! Seventh Cousin, Master Xiao Wang, if you are tired, if you need someone, please tell me, no matter what kind of sauce beans or watermelon sauce, please make more, or each of you can buy two hundred kilograms of soybeans - this Sauce is on sale right now!”
It’s not that she wants to squeeze Zhang Yanping, it’s just that she just looked at the quotation for the factory on the mountain again...
His!
Per square meter is a total of 1,200 yuan!
What do you mean, the income in the first half of the year will be used to buy the house at home, and the income in the second half of the year will be spent on the factory building!
Fortunately, the pruned tea leaves on the mountain have been cultivated for almost two months, and the autumn tea can catch up to some extent. Otherwise, we would have to buy seedlings and cattle and sheep...
The wallet is really unbearable!
I have a headache. I’ll take the rest tomorrow.
The preparation of soy beans varies from place to place. In some places, the beans need to be fried.
The construction cost of the factory building is real (I have a cousin who set up a factory in another village, so I went to ask in detail)
I have tried the wild chrysanthemum that smells like cantaloupe, and I still like it. It smells really good. If you want to give it a try, you can find Jiaozuo Pearl Chrysanthemum. This one is as famous as Jiaozuo yam. It has the aroma of cantaloupe when brewed.
When I was a child, the school required work-study programs, and I either had to pay charcoal or chrysanthemums. I really hated working.
