Chapter 2518 General

On a piece of land next to the vegetable field, there are dozens of sparse medicinal herbs, some of which are dying, and some are as slender and slender as the homeless people without food, and it feels like a gust of wind can break them.

This is nothing, but her sister-in-law is too diligent. If it grows some weeds or something, it can be covered up, or it shows that she is not so diligent in planting, which leads to such a situation, but there is a weed above. Nope, very well done.

And because it was winter, the old Zhou family built a shed to encircle these plots. There was thatch on the roof and all sides to keep warm, and there were unharvested Chinese cabbage in the vegetable field on the side. It was such a cold day. He's not dead, but he still looks a little bit alive.

Compared with the shriveled herbs here, it looks like they will not live for a long time.

Shopkeeper Zheng looked around and saw that the light in the thatched cottage was dim, so he nodded and said, "The Imperial Physician Zhou is right, maybe it's because of the winter."

Man Bao nodded again and again, yes, that's why.

The shopkeeper Zheng Da said: "Well, we Ji Shitang are willing to split two acres of land to study with Zhou Taiyi how to grow this medicinal material?"

Man Bao glanced at him and said, "What are two acres of land enough for? Well, my family is out of the land, and there are people out there. How about you all be responsible for finding all kinds of medicinal herbs?"

Is Manbao short of land now?

The most important thing she didn't lack was land, not to mention a lot of work fields, but also a lot of two plots of land that her father gave her as a dowry.

It is very convenient to use to grow herbs, but it is not easy to find people who grow them.

She doesn't even lack seeds now, and all the herbs that have been collected can be purchased and cultivated through points and the encyclopedia.

However, she will be short of points, um, not yet, but will definitely be short in the future, so Manbao urgently needs plants that have not been included, of course, herbs are the best.

Leave it to the encyclopedia to cultivate for a few years, and when they figure out how to plant it, they can just follow the planting here, which will save a lot of research costs.

Manbao, who has been planting rice seeds for several years, but still has not grown the rice he wants, knows that plant cultivation is not that simple.

Shopkeeper Zheng thought for a moment and then asked, "How about the harvest?"

Man Bao agreed casually: "I will give you a free copy of the fresh herbs sent through Ji Shitang, and the seeds will be researched in the future, and I will teach you how to sow for free."

Shopkeeper Zheng Da looked at Man Bao in astonishment, then paused and asked, "Imperial Doctor Zhou no longer thinks about it?"

Anyway, there is an encyclopedia at the beginning. They only need to adjust a little later, and they will figure it out after a year or two of planting. The cost is not very high, so Manbao promises it quickly.

Moreover, Ji Shitang has paid a lot. She has received living herbs or seeds that can be collected from various medicine dealers in Ji Shitang before, but the ones who are willing to bring the herbs are not the medicinal farmers near the capital, that is, there are Ask her pharmacist.

Therefore, there are not many herbal medicines collected by Ji Shitang, and the cost is still high.

She can't do this kind of thing well, so only the well-connected Ji Shitang can do it best.

But shopkeeper Zheng Da felt that Zhou Man had a charitable heart and was moved by the friendship between them, so he did not enter into a contract with Zhou Man, but made a verbal agreement, "Okay, I will let people start looking for herbal medicine when I go back. seed."

Man Bao immediately said: "I'll go back and give you a list. The herbs on the list are from the seeds I already have. You can just collect the rest of the herbs."

She paused and then said: "Actually, I think there are many more herbal medicines in this world, but they are not known to the world. Otherwise, the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" in Han Dynasty only has two hundred and thirty-nine. In hundreds of years, descendants have discovered 730 kinds of herbs, which shows that there are still many medicinal herbs in this world that we don’t know yet.”

Manager Zheng felt a move in his heart and looked at her, "So..."

Man Bao said with a serious face: "So it's better to tell the pharmacists and farmers that if they encounter plants that have never been used as medicine in the wild, or plants that have never been seen before, they will be brought to Beijing with the herbs."

The shopkeeper Zheng Da was startled, "Doctor Zhou, don't you want Shennong to taste all kinds of herbs, right? This is impossible. Those plants that have not been known by the doctor are likely to be highly poisonous, if you are not careful..."

"I know," Man Bao said, "Am I the kind of person who is careless? Don't worry, I'm saving my life." She will record it in the encyclopedia first, and then study it again when they research it, um, she The research is just to confirm the conclusion of the encyclopedia.

The shopkeeper Zheng Da looked at her suspiciously. He always felt that Zhou Man was a very courageous person. Even the faint-hearted cannot get where she is today.

The two looked at the wilted herbs and made a rough covenant before they walked out of the thatched cottage.

Shopkeeper Zheng took more than ten steps out and turned around, only to understand why they didn't pay attention to this corner, this thatched cottage when they came to the garden to relax.

It turns out that in front of this corner there are flower trees that are taller than people, um, most of them are plum trees, and peach trees.

But at this time the peach tree was bare, and the plum tree was bearing buds.

The thatched hut behind him is also very short. He had to lower his head slightly when he entered. After all, it was not for people to live in, but to keep vegetables and grass warm. The thatched cottage stood quietly behind, not at all conspicuous and abrupt.

Seeing the shopkeeper Zheng looking back and forth, Man Bao became proud, "This is my mother-in-law's arrangement, how about it, it looks good, even if someone sees this thatched cottage, it is very interesting to stand in this yard. My mother-in-law also wanted to build an open cottage on the other side of the open house, but my grandmother and my parents rejected it."

What Mrs. Liu meant was that if another thatched cottage was built, part of the garden would be occupied, so the boss's garden would look cramped and not good-looking.

However, the old Zhoutou and the Qian family felt that if they wanted to build a thatched cottage, they could just choose a place in the countryside to build it, so why build it at home?

So Zheng's plan was in vain, but Man Bao and Bai Shan discussed it privately, and felt that the cottage was more comfortable than Changxuan. They didn't dare to speak out in front of the Qian family.

Even Mrs. Liu would not agree.

Don't look at the cottage that seems to be simpler than the open house, but it needs to be repaired every year, which consumes more energy, and it is not comparable to the open house that was originally here.

Man Bao felt a pity in his heart, so he said to the shopkeeper Zheng, "You don't know, my mother-in-law is very talented in arranging these, if you like it, I can show you the thatched cottage we drew later, and you can build one at home. "

Well, in the future, you can often find apprentices to play with. If you don’t have it at home, you can have it in other homes.

Manager Zheng ignored her.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Well, there are only two updates today and tomorrow, and then I will be celebrating the new year. I will make up for the missing ones after the new year. See you tomorrow.
