Traversing back to ancient times, Western medicine also farms

There has been a folk proverb since ancient times: the goose feathers live in Lixia, and the little birds come and go.There is a lot of fun growing in the ear, and there is no cotton in the summer solstice.

When Li Mushu and the others first came to Huaishuwan, it was May. At that time, the crops were thriving and thriving, and some of them had begun to form grains.After more than a month, it is the busy season for harvesting wheat and preparing for rice planting.All the men, women and children in Huaishuwan are mobilized for summer harvest, summer management and summer planting. They have to rush to harvest before the next season, and they are very busy.

Li Mushu had only seen such a bustling scene in movies in the 60s and [-]s. There are few arable lands in modern times, but those who cultivate large areas are contracted out, and they use machines for harvesting.

In the busy season of farming, many young people came to Huaishuwan. They looked about ten years old, wearing rough linen clothes and straw hats on their heads.Every day before dawn, they rushed over to help the villagers harvest, and they didn't go back together until after dinner.Everyone in the village knew them, as if they had known that they would come to help, and they had prepared their three meals a long time ago.

Li Mushu secretly asked Doctor Wang: "Master, did these people also serve with Uncle Da and the others? They look so young."

"No, they just come to help when the farming season is busy."

"Oh, are they from a nearby village?" Li Mushu calculated the number in his mind, and there were probably more than 20 people.They are all strong laborers. They don’t help at home but run outside during the busy farming season. Could it be that they are special commissioners?Do you run wherever there is work?But there shouldn’t be such a job in ancient times, right?Li Mushu was very puzzled.

"Ah? Hmm." Doctor Wang was vague and neither said yes nor no.Seeing that Dr. Wang didn't want to talk, Li Mushu didn't ask any more.

The scorching sun is in the sky, and everyone is sweating profusely. Being a farmer is really hard work!Since it's always good to have someone to help, why don't you suffer less?

But Li Mushu had nothing to do with busy farming, he had no strength to restrain a chicken, he couldn't do heavy work and he didn't know how to do farm work, and no one would come to ask him to go.Xu Daming is different, he has plenty of strength and can do farm work, and he follows Uncle Da to the fields to harvest every day.

The adults in every household are busy, even the four or five-year-old children are very sensible and don’t run around. They help feed the chickens, chase sparrows, glean ears of wheat at home every day, Li Mushu sees everyone It's very embarrassing for him to be alone when he has something to do.

After much deliberation, Li Mushu finally helped the villagers take care of the children, and put all the children under the age of six in his home to take care of them, so that the adults could work in the fields with more peace of mind.So Li Mushu's home became a nursery school, and Li Mushu became the principal of the kindergarten.In addition to being responsible for their three meals a day, they also have to tell stories and put them to sleep every day.Of course, Li Mushu doesn't need to take the baby with him. Even if he wants to, he won't worry about it.

Every night, Li Mushu soaked the mung beans, washed the prunella vulgaris and wild chrysanthemums from Doctor Wang and put them away.This is what he boiled for the villagers working in the fields to drink.

Li Mushu has now learned how to light a fire and cook. Every morning Li Mushu gets up to make breakfast and boil mung bean soup.After breakfast, Xu Daming went to work in the fields, and some children came to Li Mushu's house one after another.

In ancient times, sugar was very precious, and everyone was reluctant to put sugar in cooking and sweets.Li Mushu didn't have that concept, sugar is common and cheap in modern times.Even if he knows it now, can mung bean soup and herbal tea be eaten without sugar?So he generously sprinkled it into the earthen jar.The mung bean soup and chrysanthemum prunella tea are added with sugar, which is sweet and refreshing when they are cold.Everyone loves to drink it, especially mung bean soup.How comfortable it is to drink a bowl of sweet mung bean soup every day in the hottest time.

Doctor Wang would come over to drink the first bowl on time every day at noon, and he would often take time to scold Li Mushu for being a prodigal while he drank it.As soon as Dr. Wang started to eat, the children were more polite. They all liked to drink mung bean soup, and the black chrysanthemum and prunella looked more like traditional Chinese medicine, even if it was sweet, they would not drink it.

After everyone had finished drinking, Li Mushu sent a few six-year-old children to the fields to ask someone to bring mung bean soup and herbal tea.There are too many children in the house, and he can't move away, and there are so many and heavy, Li Mushu can't move.

Everyone in the middle of the day has already been tanned by the sun, their mouths are dry and their tongues are dry. When they see the children running over from a distance, they know that the happy moment is coming. The herbal tea moved mung bean paste, and I also ran to the temporary straw shed to sit down and wait to drink.

Li Mushu could only do this, and now he felt a sense of crisis.If you can't carry it on your shoulders, you can't do farm work well.How can I support myself in this ancient times?What exactly do you have to do to make money?It costs money to buy servants, and when they are bought back, they are only helping to grow the land for food and clothing, and there will never be any extra money.He only had less than 50 taels in his hand, so he had to save it.If you want to go back to your old profession and become a doctor, then you have to open a shop in a small town or county, right?Everyone in Huaishuwan is so familiar, and they usually give him food, do you have the nerve to collect money?veto veto!

So what to do?Look at the protagonists who travel through the ancient mountain villages and start to get rich from being poor and poor. They can grow rich by growing high-yield rice and corn, or making unique food, consignment or opening restaurants.What can I do?Why don't you ask the master.

"Master, the summer solstice is coming, I made peanut and sesame paste for you to try." After dinner, Li Mushu brought out peanut and sesame paste for dessert.

"It smells so good." Doctor Wang picked up the black sesame paste and sniffed it, smiled and closed his eyes, but he just ate so full, I don't know if he can eat it?At the end of his eyes, he saw that Xu Daming had already started eating and was eating very fast, as if it was delicious, Dr. Wang couldn't care less about it and immediately picked up the spoon and started to eat.

"Master, what do you think I can earn money?" Li Mushu took the opportunity to ask Dr. Wang, knowing that Li Mushu must be Dr. Wang, maybe he can give me some good advice.

"What do you earn money for?"

"If you don't make money, don't you just sit and eat? What kind of food doesn't cost money?"

"In terms of food, everyone will share it with you. You don't have to worry about it; what you use is clothes. How much does this fabric cost? You don't need to make a lot of money for the time being when you are young. In fact, even if you want to make a lot of money to buy precious medicinal materials, the money will have to be paid." General Xie. I really can't think of where you can spend your money."

"It costs money to go out, right? Although Huaishu Bay is very nice and it's our home, I still want to go out and see the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty. Doesn't it cost money to go out for basic necessities?"

"Oh? You want to go out?" Doctor Wang was shocked, he didn't expect Li Mushu to have such thoughts.

"Well. I'm still young, so I have to go out and see the world, right? You and Uncle Da, who have gone through the war, naturally want to live a peaceful and stable life. Huaishuwan is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Stay here Farming and raising chickens is plain and happy. But what about your next generation? Do you want them to farm here as farmers for the rest of their lives? The world is vast and the earth is full of talents. If we don’t go out and take a look, how will we know the affairs of the country? ?If you don’t study it, how will you know the progress in various fields? For example, medical skills, farming methods, farm tools, etc. Standing still will only make us poorer and poorer. I still think that when children grow up, let them go out and travel ,Look at the country of our Great Tang country, understand our life in the Great Tang country, and learn new skills. When they come back, they can use new technologies to improve our lives and let our next generation keep pace with the times."

"Where... did you hear this? What are you standing still? What are you keeping up with the times? Xiao Mu, sometimes I really feel that you don't look like you are only 14 years old, but sometimes I feel that your behavior is less than ten years old." Doctor Wang looked at Li Mushu thoughtfully, and was very surprised at what he said, which is also applicable to the development of the country.

"Hehe, hehe. Aren't I free? Every day when I'm idle, I'll think wildly." Li Mushu was taken aback when he heard this, as if he had said too much.It's just that Dr. Wang is the person I trust the most, if I can't speak freely to him, how can I survive this life?

"I think what Xiaomu said is very reasonable." Xu Daming held the sesame paste, his eyes sparkled: "The ancestors guarded a few acres of land for generations to cultivate because there was no other way out. Who wouldn't want to go out and have a look outside? A breakthrough? Farmers are the hardest but the poorest. They all depend on the sky for food. If they are lucky, they will have a good harvest, but if there is a good harvest, there will be more grain. How much money can I change; if I encounter a natural disaster unfortunately, even food and clothing will be a problem, where can I get money to pay for my children? If I am not serving in the military, I am still farming in my hometown at this time."

"Yes, yes, Doctor Wang, what do you think I can do to earn money?" Seeing Xu Daming's effort, Li Mushu secretly thought of rewarding him with a late-night snack.

"Unless you go out to become a doctor in the county town, you may earn a little money, but it's definitely not much. Xiao Mu, if you want to go out, just tell General Xie. He will definitely give you enough silver. What makes money?"

"I just want to rely on myself."

"This hanging!" Doctor Wang said bluntly, and Xu Daming nodded, so angry that Li Mushu decided not to make supper for Xu Daming.

"Hmph, I think about it myself." Li Mushu thought to himself that he traveled to this ancient time in the future, and his knowledge is wider than theirs, so he must be able to come up with a good way to get rich.

"Okay, you can think about it slowly during the long night. By the way, Xie Wensheng wrote that he and Xiaohui will arrive in about ten days."

"That's great, what about Yueyun?"

"He still has things to deal with in the capital. Xiaohui lives with you, so you should tidy up the room first. Xiaohui's clothes and books should be delivered in the next two days."

"Okay." Li Mushu imitated Xie Xianhui's small appearance, but after thinking about it, only Xie Yueyun could use it as a reference, and he thought of it as a miniature version of Xie Yueyun, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"As soon as you talk about your son, you'll be swaying. Look at you. You're so unsteady even if you're already a father." Doctor Wang shook his head and sneered at Li Mushu with an unbearable expression.

"What is being a father? It's not my son." Li Mushu protested in a low voice.

"That's up to you. Can you give birth?" Dr. Wang lowered his head and stared at Li Mushu's stomach, Xu Daming turned around and smiled secretly.

"..." Li Mushu gritted his teeth, turned around silently, and endured it!

"Yeah, it's getting dark, so I'm going home. Xiao Mumu, see you tomorrow." Seeing that he had beaten Li Mushu enough today, Doctor Wang was ready to go home and sleep.

"Master, go slowly." Li Mushu got up immediately upon hearing this.

"Tomorrow I still have to eat sesame paste. You can make it early so you can eat it at noon. If you eat too much at night, it's hard to digest." Doctor Wang walked slowly to the door and suddenly turned around and told Li Mushu that he was full tonight.

"...Okay." If you can't eat enough, you can save it for tomorrow, and no one is forcing you.It's a pity that Li Mushu didn't dare to say it out, but just nodded in agreement.No matter what era, subordinates are oppressed by their superiors.
