Chapter 229: Chapter 0229: An Impersonal Request 1_1 Chapter 229: Chapter 0229: An Impersonal Request 1_1 Next, Feng Qingxue was completely imrsed in her chores, feeling as if there was never enough ti.
On top of managing the household affairs, she was taking care of Lu Jiang while making efforts to study dical books and the dical records of both Wu Zheng and Dr. Guo. She was also reckoning acupoints, herbs, and morizing various prescriptions.
There was a severe shortage of dicine in the countryside. Both Wu Zheng and Wang Zhengguo cleared up Feng Qingxue’s doubts. Because the state had very strict regulations in this regard, dical supplies were distributed in proportions annually. The worker’s hospitals in the city could receive a portion, but it did not extend to communes and production brigades. Hence, Feng Qingxue hiked in mountains and waded through waters to gather dicines every day, applying her knowledge into practice.
Nature is a natural treasure house, the greatest gift to mankind.
In this era of hunger and poverty, it is a granary, a Pharmacy.
Dandelion, wild chrysanthemum, white clinopodium, motherwort, nettle, malabar spinach, lophatherum gracile, plantago asiatica, wild mint, devil’s needle grass, sambucus, chervil, portulaca oleracea, Artemisiae annuae, Ranunculus japonicus, Cardamine hirsuta, honeysuckle, Artemisia… Every mountain and every field is full of common vegetables and Chinese herbal dicines.
Wax gourd peel, wax gourd seeds, sponge gourd tendril, earthworms, cicada slough, mulberry branches, mulberry leaves…anything can be used as dicine.
Everything listed as a Chinese dicine material, whether it’s a plant or not, was collected by Feng Qingxue. She processed and stored them according to the thods in the books.
Although she didn’t need them for now, who could guarantee that she wouldn’t need them later?
It was the correct choice to stay prepared ahead of ti. It’s best not to fight unprepared!
For this purpose, she especially ran to the nearby waste collection points several tis with Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun, dug up quite a few books, and hauled back several carts of old furniture and wood. She first asked a carpenter to make several dicinal cabinets in the west room, and then combined the rest to make two beds. One was placed in the east room and the other was sent to the cowshed for Lu’s father to use.
Not all the wood was of good quality; the good ones were used for the dicinal cabinets, while the diocre ones were used for the beds.
In the anti, Feng Qingxue taught Guan Cheng, Lu Tianjun, and children like Jiang He and Erya how to recognize common and easy-to-identify herbs. After completing their farming tasks, they gathered herbs and handed them over to Feng Qingxue for processing. She also taught them basic dical knowledge, emphasized that prevention is more important than treating the illness after catching it, and convinced Wang Zhenguo to consider their contributions when calculating work points.
Perhaps because he had experienced Guan Yu’s serious illness, Guan Cheng proposed to study dicine with Feng Qingxue.
“Acheng, I’m not even a beginner, let alone a teacher. I can currently recognize herbs and human acupoints, morize a few prescriptions, or recite the “Inner Canon of Huangdi” from the Shennong’s Classic of Materia dica. How can I teach you? You should concentrate on your school studies and find an opportunity to find a formal ntor in the future.” Feng Qingxue asserted that she had only learned the rudints and dared not casually take a disciple.
Guan Cheng insisted: “I will start by learning basic knowledge from aunty.”
The in-depth study of dicine can wait until an opportunity arises in the future.
He had carefully discovered the benefits of studying dicine, which he was doing for the future of himself and his younger brother.
Although it was harvest season, the crops in the field required constant care from the hard-working farrs. n and won alike had to go to work.
Originally, many people took Feng Qingxue’s behavior of running in the mountains and fields instead of working as a provocation. However, when they learned that Feng Qingxue was gathering herbs to alleviate the shortage of dical care in their brigade, they imdiately offered their wholehearted support. Even if there were individuals who frowned upon her actions or made unpleasant remarks out of envy, they were imdiately silenced by the collective will.
