The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 530 Autumn Harvest and Winter Picking (Part )

Mr. Pu's words are really helpless. In the current situation, life has just improved, and there are many places to spend money. Some extravagant expenses are really undesirable. The only way is for Chinese medicine practitioners to make adjustments on their own.

For example, after the price increase of medicinal materials, winter harvesting was implemented. Among herbal medicines, many medicinal materials have requirements for winter harvesting and spring harvesting.

However, there is a difference in yield between winter harvest and autumn harvest. The difference between autumn and winter is only three to two months, so there is no delay. Most of these medicinal materials are mainly harvested in autumn because the yield is larger.

These matters are not something that front-line Chinese medicine practitioners can take the lead in. If the properties of the medicine are not good, they can only make changes in adding, subtracting and adding flavors.

But when it comes to the properties of medicines, adding, subtracting and adding flavors is not something that ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners can figure out. Even some doctors have only a partial understanding of this and the properties of medicines are unclear. This is also the crux of the difficulty for Chinese medicine practitioners to become famous and start a family.

This is the reason why Mr. Pu and others supported Li Shengli unconditionally. When the road was difficult, a young man, as the protector of the great inheritance, sheltered famous old Chinese doctors from all over the country and supported the return of medical science to its origins alone. , clarification of medicinal properties.

After clarifying the medical properties, unlike Li Shengli's idea of ​​cultivating traditional Chinese medicine doctors in batches, Pu Lao and others saw famous doctors coming out in batches. Although such famous doctors were a little wet, they could barely inherit the name of medical doctors.

The difficulty of traditional Chinese medicine is that it is people-oriented and emphasizes personal skills. Those who conquer the world with one prescription can be regarded as famous doctors, and only those who are known as famous doctors can be considered as true beginners of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, they see things from different perspectives.

Nowadays, the barefoot doctors trained in self-training classes are considered Chinese medicine practitioners, the half-baked doctors are also considered Chinese medicine practitioners, and more than ten old men like Mr. Pu are also considered Chinese medicine practitioners.

It’s not that Chinese medicine is mysterious, nor is it difficult to learn. It’s that this type of traditional medicine, which relies on the accumulation of survival experience, has a complex system that is difficult to learn and master.

Faced with the complex traditional Chinese medicine that has been passed down for three thousand years, becoming famous and starting a family is the only way to get started, and it is not a lie.

After you really get started, you can use what you have learned at this time, review the classics of various schools, and study a little for ten or eight years, and become a truly famous doctor.

Nowadays, a full mouthful of food has left most people scratching their heads. Li Shengli is responsible for the food rations of hundreds of doctors and thousands of family members. As a senior in the medical field, if he does not provide unconditional support at this time, when will he support it?

As for Li Shengli's biased and ruthless behavior, that is just a minor detail and has nothing to do with the great inheritance.

This is also a choice driven by interests. In the eyes of Pu Lao and others, the great inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is equally precious.

After finishing his morning classes, Li Shengli picked up the two bags of books from the car. Most of these two bags were beautifully bound doctors' notes and the like.

There is no need to show medical books such as classics to these old men. After being criticized by the old men for not seeing rabbits and not letting hawks fly, Li Shengli did not leave in a hurry, but went to see those who were still staying in the self-training class. Mr. Liu's stepson Zhang Dingguo.

Mr. Liu went to the mountains with famous old Chinese medicine doctors from all over the country, and some of the affairs of the self-training class were handed over to his stepson Zhang Dingguo. In Mr. Liu's view, sometimes the experience of human nature comes before learning skills.

After practicing in the self-training class for a long time, Zhang Dingguo has become much stronger than the weak one before. This kid has often been beaten for failing to keep up with training. As for memorizing skills, he is also remarkable.

I briefly asked about the mood of the self-training class. Generally speaking, it is still the old saying, a filial son will emerge from under the stick. If you beat him a few times, there will be no unsubmissive son.

However, Li Shengli did not complete the task entrusted by the traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The younger half of his family was very promiscuous and still insisted on setting up sticks in the city. Li Shengli also had no way of dealing with this object.

Now that he has attracted people's attention, it is not easy to go to the city and kidnap people...

Compared with before, the students who have recently enrolled in the self-training class have a lot more young people on the street, and the children who avoid disaster are still the mainstream.

Just like the young masters of traditional Chinese medicine, when the decline has already appeared, it is no longer necessary to hold on. If they continue to hold on, they should be released.

Recently, he has been busy with the autumn harvest in Wali and the mountains. Before Li Shengli left, he did not forget to bring Wang Qianjin to the self-training class. Mr. Pu and others could only sit back for a while. Li Shengli was the only one who could really cheer up. , Wang Qianjin and Xiao Hu.

He is not in the camp, so one of the two must stay here in case of any eventuality.

When passing Madianji, Li Shengli also stopped by the fat old lady Li Xu. We still need to talk about Fu Yiqing's matter. What was originally a good fate will be mixed with a messy relationship, and it will be difficult to talk about it in the future. .

Arriving at the courtyard where Li Xu lived temporarily, he saw the fat old lady and her young daughter-in-law drying medicinal materials inside the ajar door. Li Shengli nodded. Wang Qingping's move was good.

Madianji is a large village, so if the medicinal materials that need to be dried are distributed to each household, the quality will be better than if they are dried centrally. This is also a rule of thumb.

"Old lady, you don't need to do this."

The fat old lady Li Xu is already seventy years old. Even if it is not a long life in the rural areas nowadays, it is not bad. Making some noise is like saying hello. Li Shengli said to the fat old lady with whom he had a good relationship. There is also care.

"Mr. Li is here. Let's make tea for him."

After sending her daughter-in-law away, the fat old lady Li Xu looked at Li Shengli with a smile. This kind-faced young man had relieved her of her regrets. Even though her youngest son was bedridden now, Li Xu was still full of hope. of.

After being guarded for so many years, I can still leave a queen for my husband's family. This can be regarded as luck.

"Old lady, please don't stir up trouble about my sister-in-law. It's not good.

This also ruins the kindness between us, doesn't it? "

Facing an old lady like Li Xu, Li Shengli said straight to the point, don't misunderstand her like last time.

"Mr. Li, I'd better call you Shengli, so we can get closer.

You also know that Hua'er may not survive this year. Without Hua'er, the three of us will have nothing to rely on.

Now that Yi Qing has some ideas, you can just let her go. It's nothing more than idleness. Having this relationship can make us three mothers feel at ease, right?

When Hua'er's family gives birth, if it's a girl, that's fine. If it's a son, Mr. Li will still need to take care of him.

At that time, they will not be able to support themselves, and they will have to rely on Mr. Li. My old lady will be gone at that time, and the kindness between us will still have to be maintained by them. "

The fat old lady Li Xu came from a well-known family in Beijing. She knew that in this world, there was no such thing as entrusting a wife with a child. Even if there was, their family would not encounter it. If good intentions are to be continued, most of them must rely on profit.

Li Shengli didn't like the accumulated wealth of the Li family, and only two daughters-in-law were left to use it. For this, Li Xu, who was used to the world, had no complaints.

With such a Mr. Li protecting him, the continuation of the bloodline has the best protection. Even if the two of them continue to spend money, they should be regarded as belonging to the Li family. With brothers and sisters, maybe the Li family will still be able to branch out in the future. Lush and leafy.

"Hey, if I don't say it, will it be in vain?"

Li Shengli had no idea about the attitude of the fat old lady Li Xu. She was just a follower of the crowd, and she would gain something only if she gave up. This rich old woman really knew how to make choices.

"Shengli, you are so easy to guard. Instead of handing them over to outsiders after my old lady gives up, it is better to hand them over to you as a benefactor. You will not marry, and they will not marry again. The lintel of the Li family is here. It may be a little dirty, but as long as the descendants are able to clean it diligently, it may not be a ruin.

There is no need for Mr. Li to say much about this matter. It is just for the lintel and continuation of my husband's family, so I will be the evil mother-in-law. "

When he heard that there was nothing to discuss, Li Shengli didn't hesitate. He didn't even drink the tea and turned around and left the yard.

Seeing that Li Shengli had left, the fat old lady Li Xu, who had just said a lot and did not shy away from her little daughter-in-law, reached out and took the little daughter-in-law beside her, pointed to the place where Li Shengli had just stood and said:

"Diancui, there are some things that my aunt shouldn't have said to you, but like your sister-in-law, my aunt doesn't want you to keep silent.

If you are pregnant with a girl, then you should find someone to marry. Don't imitate your sister-in-law.

If there is a boy in your belly, Mr. Li was your man just now, and you and your sister-in-law will follow him.

In this way, he will leave the Li family's wealth to you and your mother. No matter how the world changes, money will speak for itself.

What happens in the future depends on whether your belly is up to par. If you give birth to a daughter, the things in the courtyard will belong to Mr. Li. If you give birth to a son, they will belong to you, but you and your sister-in-law will belong to Mr. Li.

Don't feel embarrassed. If someone like your sister-in-law, who has read poetry and books, can let it go, why can't you let it go?

Just hold on, you don't know how hard it is.

Let it go, take over the Li family's financial resources, and let your sister-in-law support and teach you. Your son will be fine.

The chaos is only temporary. When things calm down, you will have Mr. Li to protect you and your uncle's family's reputation.

You in the future may be me in the past few years. Even if you starve to death everywhere, it will not affect us, and celebrities from Beijing and China often visit you. This is very different from the life of ordinary people. "

After giving some advice to Xu Diancui, the youngest daughter-in-law who was regarded as her niece, the fat old lady Li Xu also told her how to survive in a wealthy family. How things went would depend on her belly.

Many things are supported by ambition. Mrs. Li Xu is not a shameless evil mother-in-law who just wants to survive. She does this more to endure hardships, continue the inheritance of her husband's family, and at the same time leave roots for her eldest son who is drifting away.

As for the eldest daughter-in-law Fu Yiqing, some things are not easy to say. The old lady Li Xu knows some of her son's affairs outside the home. She has already remarried and has children, but she cannot talk about these things...

After leaving the small courtyard of the fat old lady's house, Li Shengli was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he went to the nearby slaughterhouse in Madianji.

The supply is tight, and sheep are a good card. Although there will be some problems before and after the indicators, the road is paved and has been traveled once, and we must continue to walk.

Li Shengli got the winter coal needed by the three villages on credit from Shi Gang with a blank check. After autumn, it was time to start selling sheep.

Selling sheep is not always a good thing for Madianji. It is also necessary to keep livestock in captivity, which consumes a lot of fodder that was originally used for burning firewood.

Nowadays, it is not unreasonable to advocate raising pigs and chickens instead of sheep. Sheep eat grass, which is used to burn firewood. If there is no more firewood, we have to cut down trees and dig roots. This is also a vicious circle.

As for the firewood produced in the fields, the wheat straw must be sent to the paper mill, and the corn straw must be kept to feed large animals such as cattle, horses, donkeys and mules. Only the roots can be used for firewood.

Today's experts are not aware of the smoke and particles caused by burning wasteland. Because they are reluctant to burn it in the fields, they have to pick up the wheat roots with grappling hooks and bring them home for cooking.

As for the earthen stoves, if you try to ban them, who dares to say that the village members will dare to use them as firewood.

Today's rural brigade, not only the fields are clean, but also the surrounding areas of the village are as clean as if they were licked by a dog.

That is to say, the plan for the autumn harvest of medicinal materials was made a little early, otherwise the local medicinal materials in the fields, when they are almost grown, would have to be taken home and dried for firewood. The Baicao Shuang at this time is also the real Baicao Shuang. It has better medicinal properties than later generations.

This autumn harvest of medicinal materials covers a wide range of areas. All medicinal materials that are in season are included in the harvest. The domestic harvest is almost a dry harvest, and the external export is almost the same.

After all, there is still a blockade outside. Although there are follow-up plans, there are still preparations to make a big deal and be done with it.

After roughly understanding the current usage of sheep, Li Shengli checked with the old party secretary Wang Shengting.

Nowadays, the largest customer of the Madian market sheep is still the family. It has built a large canteen and two large canteens that are still experimental, and consumes nearly a hundred sheep every day.

This is still sold casually, as long as the pot is sold out. If it is opened, it is not a problem to buy two, three hundred or more, because there is no meat ticket.

"Shengli, we don't have enough manpower this year. We have planted the wheat, but we are about to water the winter water again.

As for the sheep sellers, should you stretch your muscles a little more? After winter comes, the sheep will be fat enough, no less than a month or two away. "

There are too many businesses and not enough manpower. For Wang Shengting, the old party secretary of the village of 7,000 people, this was nonsense before. The abundance of manpower makes people scratch their heads. This is the real problem of the village.

Not only is Madianji like this now, but Dana Guan of Taipingzhuang nearby is also worried!

Nowadays, the medicinal materials harvesting cooperative that has been hastily built has a serious plan and a mission. More than 10,000 laborers from the two villages have begun to move to the mountains and valleys after collecting the local medicinal materials in the fields of their own villages.

Who would have thought that the commune was so supportive of the Laoshizi Medicinal Material Harvesting Cooperative that almost all the labor force in the village was mobilized to work there. If the village lacked labor, no one would do the business.

Those who collect herbs just leave them alone. Now those who dry the herbs are old people and children in the village. They have all gone up to the mountains. How can anyone still work?

The autumn harvest of medicinal materials is said to be harvested according to the above statement. Li Shengli estimates that it will be busy until around the time of snow.

"Old party secretary, the two sides are different. The sheep are just our starting point for exchanging things. People should be transferred back when they need to be transferred back. The indicators still have to be run diligently.

Now that winter is approaching, it’s almost time for the herdsmen to change their jobs. There is still a big business around the year and the year after. "

Hearing Li Shengli's words, the old party secretary Wang Shengting was also scratching his head. This is the argument that neither side can give up.

"As for building a house in the city, let's just pay for it by 30 people.

Let Dana Guan make up the rest and co-author it. We can't make him rich and let him have some leisure, right? "

Patting the skin flakes on his legs, the old party secretary Wang Shengting also had some concerns. His family was in dire straits because there was no one to help him, and he couldn't make Dana Guan, who had joined the team, feel comfortable. He was going to die...
