Chapter 649

~8 min read 1,406 words

Hearing Wu Lan's words, Qiao Qiao was very angry: "Mom, I wasn't slacking off! It was because Brother was playing with little grasshoppers that I told him off!"

As he spoke, he angrily glanced at the grasshopper legs in Zhang Yanping's hand, turned around, and went to cut mugwort in another spot.

And at this moment, in the livestream far away, everyone watched numbly as the streamer's figure walked further and further away, only able to listen to the sound coming from the microphone, unable to help but shed tears on their clothes—

【I'm really crying to death; when will the streamer have me in her heart?】

【The one in front, think of something good; what if this mugwort is listed for sale later?】

【Don't dream; with you few cutting it there, it would be a miracle if it gets listed.】

【Why is everyone so negative? People should always have dreams.】

【There is a difference between dreams and delusions...】

【Don't argue; I have just one question: if it's listed, can you guys even grab any?】

Once this was said, the barrage froze.

It had already been said that this was for Guo Yi, yet Yan Ping still didn't hurry to show some effort and was slacking off even after going up the mountain.

"Little friends, you must recognize it clearly! Otherwise, if you use it for moxibustion later, the effect won't be good."

I can't figure it out; why are young people in love like this?

【The streamer's mugwort cut this year is dry and fierce in medicinal properties, and the smoke is heavy; you guys without experience really can't handle it.】

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Isn't this water mugwort? They all look the same."

"Oh my, who cut this? Why did you cut the mugwort stalks in too?"

She said earnestly: "Yan Ping, you have to look at the details. Many grasses in our village look the same, but the difference between poisonous and non-poisonous is huge."

"How can they be the same?" Ai Cao was even more worried.

【I don't know why, but I want to eat green rice balls.】

Everyone chatted and chatted until the high temperature made their phones unable to hold up again, and only then did they reluctantly exit the livestream.

It's not that many doctors lack ability; it's that they can't grasp the quality of the medicinal materials!

Now it's even worse; the water mugwort cut also has mugwort stalks added—this really isn't the right way!

"Okay!"

【I'm different; I really need mugwort; streamer, please list it.】

【The difference between the two really isn't big; anyway, it's not poisonous, so it's no big deal if you recognize it wrong.】

Returning home, a small mountain of water mugwort had piled up on the large open space in the yard. Ai Cao greeted everyone to spread them out neatly on the ground, while pulling out a few straight water mugwort stalks from inside:

When he was cutting, he didn't notice any of these?

【Okay, Teacher Qiao, can you give me a bundle if I learn it?】

"Look here, the leaves are broader. Many green rice balls that you young people love to eat are made with this—some are also made with mugwort; actually, I don't think the taste difference is big."

Sigh, people rely on food as their heaven; my regret can't be too simple and crude!

"The old saying goes, 'If you have three-year-old mugwort at home, the doctor doesn't need to come.' I'll start storing it from next year, and in a few years, I'll have good mugwort too."

And on this side, little Guo Yi was truly preparing for moxibustion.

"Oh my, the mugwort from this year has a strong medicinal property and is dry; I'm too old, so it's not suitable. Let's talk about it in two years..."

【Our family has always picked the tender leaves on top of the water mugwort during the Qingming Festival; whichever we pick is fine; there's no such thing as being so particular.】

【Really, the mugwort oil of this kind of new mugwort hasn't volatilized, so the smoke is very heavy when burned. Let alone that moxibustion is hard to control, just staying in the room feels choking.】

Zhang Wang's family said while taking a deep breath: "This smell is really strong!"

"That smell is quite strong... Tan Tan, prepare more seeds next year. I'll look around the mountain later and scatter some more wherever there's space."

However, more is better than less. Firstly, surrounded by these big mountains, we can't do without insect repellent. Secondly, selling it ourselves or supplying Guo Yi, we never have to worry about making money.

In the barrage, there were really few viewers who could distinguish them—honestly, whether they had ever carefully observed water mugwort was another matter.

At this moment, they were watching extra carefully, while constantly posting comments—

【Where we are, mugwort is called mugwort grass, and water mugwort is called water mugwort.】

When asked this, Zhang Yanping, who didn't know the difference between the five grains, felt guilty first and then quickly leaned in:

The items for cupping are simple; you can buy them at any medical device company in the city. Dozens of large glass jars, a whole box, don't cost much money.

【That's true; houses in the city are too enclosed, which is different from the spacious courtyards in the countryside.】

While not forgetting to instruct him: "Uncle Zhang, when the mugwort is ready later, remember to go to Guo Yi's place to get some moxibustion; it only has benefits and no harm."

And on that side, Zhang Yanping threw away the grasshopper legs and finally couldn't find an excuse to slack off, so he had to bend down and cut it bit by bit.

【No! Where we are, green rice balls must be made with this kind of mugwort.】

With such good farming skills, it's a pity not to grow more medicinal herbs! You have to know that current prescriptions are erroneous, and the processing and planting conditions for medicinal materials are not good, which is why Traditional Chinese Medicine is becoming harder and harder to practice.

But thinking about the vegetables he plucked from Song Tan's vegetable field every day...

【Then how do you distinguish if the mugwort sold by others is real three-year-old or fake?】

There are all kinds of price points for moxibustion boxes.

【Ten miles have different customs.】

—This question just got more and more complicated.

【Why do you call it mugwort? Where we are, mugwort and water mugwort are two different things.】

She put two straight mugwort stalks and water mugwort together: "See the difference?"

【The one in front, don't be anxious; who told our country to be so big?】

Zhang Wang's family rode over on a tricycle, sending these into the cart while taking a deep breath:

I'm not using those portable ones for moxibustion for others; a heat-proof box is enough.

And at this moment, Qiao Qiao also brought the stand closer to carefully film the two types:

【Where we are, it's called water mugwort.】

"It depends entirely on local habits."

"Actually, around our home, water mugwort and mugwort are called interchangeably; they are all the same thing. But the mugwort stalks are different; the mugwort stalks lack medicinal properties."

And on the other side of the yard, Xin Jun, who was helping to spread the mugwort, tightened his expression and carefully remembered the difference between the two.

Zhang Yanping was taught, and at this moment, holding the two grasses, looking left and right, he still couldn't help but wonder:

Thinking that he could try the medicinal properties of Song Tan's mugwort, he couldn't help but become more excited, rubbing his hands—

During the few months I stayed at the clinic, I gradually prepared all the tools I was used to using before.

"This mugwort stalk leaf is overall finer; if you use it for moxibustion, the medicinal properties aren't enough. Remember that!"

【Don't ask! Didn't you just hear them say? Mugwort needs to be three or five-year-old aged mugwort to work.】

Water mugwort grows fast and fiercely, and it doesn't pick its growing environment; where can't it be planted all over these mountains and gullies?

You can't even finish harvesting it by squeezing in time.

Overall, although the efficiency wasn't high, there were many people, and after working together for two hours, a large pile had already accumulated by the roadside.
