Chapter 2517 You have to believe me

The Lan family finally chose a date, and chose the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month among the three days of the old Zhou family newspaper.

This time the family invited not many guests, just a few similar ones, as well as people the old Zhou family knew in the capital.

On Manbao's side, basically only the doctors from Ji Shitang and Yin or a few were invited.

The Chinese New Year is approaching. Recently, there are a lot of people who have wedding events and marry a daughter-in-law to go home for the Chinese New Year. Shopkeeper Zheng Da has had eight weddings in the past three months. This time, I came here to see Zhou Man's nephews and nieces who are in their current year. It hurts a bit.

Looking at his son who had just returned to Beijing not long ago, the shopkeeper Zheng Da balanced a bit and walked over to find Zhou Man, "Emperor Zhou."

Man Bao was watching the guests pouring Zhou Liwei (the second head) to drink. Hearing this, he turned his head and his eyes brightened, "Master Zheng, I was looking for you. My niece said that the tuckahoe I bought with you is gone?"

The shopkeeper Zheng pouted and said, "What do you mean there is no more, it was bought by your niece."

He said: "The pharmacy here in the capital always needs to keep some spare parts. The workshop built by your niece has grabbed a lot of medicinal materials from me this month or two."

There are only a few medicinal materials needed for ointments and medicinal creams. Therefore, the prices of several medicinal materials purchased by Zhou Lijun in the capital have increased in price recently. The shopkeeper Zheng is still distressed. The prescriptions used for those medicinal materials are more expensive than before. Some, some of the patients on the prescription complained secretly.

When Man Bao heard this, he sighed and said, "One is that the transportation is really inconvenient now, and the other is that the medicinal materials are all wild now, and few of them are grown by themselves, so the medicinal materials are very valuable."

The shopkeeper Zheng Da froze for a moment and asked, "Imperial Doctor Zhou means that the medicinal materials can be planted?"

Man Bao said: "Haven't medicinal materials such as red dates and ginger been planted most of the time?"

Of course, there are also those who are excavated in the wild, but at present, these two medicinal materials are still planted in the majority.

"But this is not only a medicinal material, but also an ingredient. It can be grown naturally."

Man Bao said: "My family also grows yam."

The shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled, "Yams can also be used as ingredients."

However, few people eat it, most of them are used as medicine or medicated food, but the shopkeeper Zheng knows that, except for some places in Shandong where yam is grown, most of the rest of the place is harvested wild.

To be honest, Zhou Man's village planting yam was beyond the expectations of the shopkeeper Zheng.

Man Bao said lightly: "There is also Ligustrum. My family has now planted a mountain, and the current Ligustrum in our village accounts for almost half of the mountain."

This is what the second and third brothers told her, so now Qili Village is no longer the poorest village under Dali Village. Last year, their village and Mr. Bai paid for the road to the county town to carefully repair it. Now It is particularly spacious, and although it is not as good as the official road, it is not much worse.

Therefore, it is now hard to find labor in autumn every year. In the past, when the old Zhou's family was too busy, he could still hire part-time laborers in the village.

Even Master Bai complained privately that part-time workers were hard to find.

The shopkeeper Zheng opened his mouth, and after a while he pondered: "So, the medicinal materials can be planted. I wonder how many medicinal materials Zhou Taiyi can grow now?"

Man Bao turned her eyes slightly. Over the years, all the medicinal materials she has seen, as long as she can get the living ones, are basically included in the encyclopedia.

And all hosts know that the things included in the encyclopedia can be purchased from the encyclopedia in turn, um, if it has.

And the species that have been cultivated through the encyclopedia may be genetically unstable or better.

Since guessing that the biggest problem in the world over there is genetic instability, Man Bao has been paying attention to books and information in this area.

Occasionally ask about the research progress of the species listed in the encyclopedia and Dr. D.

Many of the things she gave to the Encyclopedia and Dr. D have now been cultivated in that world. Except for a few, most of them are still genetically stable.

She thinks that the genetic abnormality is the environmental problem over there, and there may be the most primitive species variation because of the spread. Now that they get the original species, there is a high probability that they can keep the genes unchanged.

Keke once said that the plant cultivation she included is the easiest, it can maintain its own genetic stability to a large extent, and it can also be optimized; animals are second, and humans are the most difficult.

Man Bao guessed that it was because there were no new primitive humans in that world, and they had no specimens whether it was continuous or research.

Well, thanks to the law of the alliance that Koko said, intelligent creatures are not included in the transaction, and her world is too far away from that world, even if there are bad people who ignore the law, they can't find them.

Man Bao became happy in his heart, and said to the shopkeeper Zheng, "I have always had a variety of medicinal herbs dug from the wild at home, that is, some are grown in my garden. Would you like to take a look?"

The shopkeeper Zheng Da was overjoyed and immediately said, "Okay."

Shopkeeper Zheng Da and Zhou Man didn't care about the people who were having the banquet, and went to the back garden and said, "Among the medicinal materials, apart from jade, insects and beasts, the rest are herbs, and it is said that any herbs can be planted. , but firstly, the cultivation of herbal medicines requires land, and the medicinal materials scattered in the mountains are basically sufficient; secondly, it is not easy to grow herbal medicines, especially herbs such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, which cannot be grown at all, even other herbal medicines, most of them take two years The above time is enough.”

"So as far as I know, the herbs that can be planted are no more than two dozen, all of which are red dates, safflower, ginger, pomegranate, garlic, and lotus seeds." Storekeeper Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "But "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" There are 239 kinds of herbal medicines recorded in the book, and there are 730 kinds of herbal medicines included in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" collected by our Zheng family, and very few of these herbs are currently planted on a large scale."

But Man Bao knew that these herbs had not yet collected all the medicines that could be used in the world. Although Teacher Mo and their world also lacked many herbs, she knew that they existed, otherwise there would be no records in the encyclopedia.

Her world does not have the crisis of their world, that is to say, those herbs all exist here, at least most of them exist.

Man Bao was refreshed, and secretly said: If these herbs can be found and used, how many diseases can be cured?

It can also avoid the consequences of a drug shortage.

When he arrived at a piece of land in the garden that Man Bao had deliberately cut out beside Sister-in-law's vegetable field, Man Bao looked at it, turned his head and said to the silent shopkeeper Zheng, "Boss, you have to believe me, the medicinal herbs are really good. It was planted that these medicinal materials may have been dug back from the wild, and the soil and water are a little unacceptable, and it is winter now, and when you look at it in spring, it must be a different look..."
