Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 168 Snatching

"What about the knotweed? Grandpa Huang, does he know it?" Luo Yanxing asked.

Huang Yihai's son was stuck, and after a while he said timidly: "Why should we learn about weeds?"

Luo Yanxing smiled. The knotweed is not just a weed, it also has medicinal value.

Now she was very sure that Huang Yihai just didn't know ephedra, or rather, he didn't know very many herbs at all and was no match for them.

She stared at him and said slowly, "But knotweed and ephedra are easily confused. If you don't know knotweed, how can you be sure whether you are using ephedra or knotweed?"

"I've already said that the ephedra we use is all picked from the Dongsheng Mountain. Doctor Xiao Jiang said in person that the ephedra was from that area."

Doctor Xiao Jiang was the person who taught Huang Yihai medical skills. Decades ago, when Huang Yihai was still a teenager, one day when he went to work in the mountains, he found a strange young man fainted on the mountain path. He carried the young man back home.

It turned out that the young man was a doctor. He came to the mountains to collect herbs and accidentally fell down the mountain.

To express his gratitude, he taught Huang Yihai some medical skills, and later Huang Yihai became a veterinarian in several nearby villages.

In the eyes of the villagers, whether veterinarians or human doctors, they are all doctors who can cure diseases and are capable people. Therefore, they look up to Huang Yihai. When he gets older, the younger generations in the village regard him as a respected elder and respect him.

Xiaoxiang keenly caught the details in the words, rolled her eyes, and said in surprise: "You only pick it in that area, do you know the ephedra in other places?"

Huang Yihai didn't say anything, and his son was also speechless.

Luo Yanxing tasted it carefully and said in surprise: "So you don't even know ephedra!"

The others also came to their senses slowly. They only picked ephedra from that place, which meant they were not sure whether the ones from other places were actually ephedra. They really did not know ephedra!

No wonder I’ve never seen them picking herbs to sell in all these years!

Facing the incredulous looks of the crowd, Huang Yihai felt as if he had lost all his face. Ever since he learned that the girl from the Song family led all the girls in the village to dig herbs to make money, he was afraid that everyone would remember him, and he had been staying at home as much as possible during this period of time.

Unexpectedly, I still couldn’t escape.

He tapped his pipe and said with a fierce face, "When I was young, I learned a little bit of medical skills from Doctor Xiao Jiang. I could only treat common diseases of animals.

There is a huge difference between the medicine used for animals and the medicine used for humans. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

Luo Yanxing snorted and did not argue. After all, the old man was old enough, and it was unreasonable for a junior like her to keep blaming the elders.

Of course, the most important thing is that the crisis is resolved!

Now they are the only ones in the village who know about herbs and can sell them to make money.

She was no longer in a hurry and calmly watched her mother and the adults staring in amazement.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, and it was Aunt Meihua who broke it first. She nodded to Huang Yihai's family, said sorry for disturbing them, and asked Zhao Xiaocui to go home.

The others also dispersed one after another.

Now that the crisis here was resolved, Luo Yanxing became worried about Zhang going to Song Ying to express her gratitude.

A few days later, she found that her worries were unnecessary, as Zhang had no intention of looking for Song Ying at all.

Luo Yanxing breathed a sigh of relief, but was also extremely disappointed with Zhang. His casual words that day turned out to be true. Zhang was indeed an ungrateful person.

When Xu Dahe was bitten by a snake, the Song family only lent a cow to the Xu family. Afterwards, Aunt Chen specially bought some sugar for them, and the couple came to thank them in person.

Song Ying directly saved Zhang's life, but Zhang did not show any expression, not even a verbal thanks.

In the Shen Mansion, Song Ying, who was missed by Luo Yanxing, was busy in the kitchen.

She put the cooked Sijun steamed duck into the food box and handed it to the person opposite her: "Sister Chuntao, take it.

Well, let me remind you that the old lady must calculate the time when taking the medicine. It should be at least two hours apart from the medicine taken at noon.

Come get the night medicine at midnight and have the old lady take it before bed. It should be two hours apart from this medicinal meal."

Chun Tao nodded and smiled, "Okay, I know. You say this every time, how can I not remember it?"

Song Ying smiled sheepishly, "Doctor Lin said this is a medical order, so I must tell him."

The weather changed two nights ago. Princess Shunan's illness suddenly worsened and her physical condition deteriorated rapidly. In addition to the medicated diet, Doctor Lin prescribed new medicine for her.

Speaking of Doctor Lin, Chuntao looked around and saw that Doctor Lin was not in the room. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doctor Lin dares to let you do it now?"

Song Ying nodded and said seriously: "Sijun steamed duck has been made several times. Don't worry, sister, I remember it very clearly and there will be no mistakes."

"I'm just curious, not that I doubt you can't do it." Chuntao was very embarrassed. She laughed dryly twice and quickly said goodbye and left.

After seeing Chuntao off, Song Ying began to clean up the kitchen as usual. Just as he was about to wash the medicine jar, Chuntao's angry scream suddenly rang out from outside: "What are you doing? This is the medicine for the old lady!"

Song Ying was stunned. Someone had a conflict with Chuntao, and it also affected the medicinal diet? !

She was very surprised. Although she had only been in the Shen Mansion for a short time, she could see that everyone in the Shen Mansion attached great importance to the health of County Master Shun'an.

In the few short days since she arrived, she had already met all the masters of the Shen Mansion, except the Lady of Shun'an. From the Minister of Rites Shen Tingzhao, who was in mourning at home, to the youngest grandchild of the Shen Mansion, an eight-year-old girl, they either called her to question her or came to see her, repeatedly telling her to pay more attention to medicinal food.

Chuntao is a second-class maid in the courtyard of County Lord Shunan, and is in charge of medicine and medicated food. At this point in time, knowing that what Chuntao is carrying is either County Lord Shunan's medicine or medicated food, who would dare to cause trouble for her?

Song Ying dropped the rag and walked out. In the yard of the big kitchen, there were already many maids, all craning their necks and looking outside.

Song Ying walked to the edge of the yard and also stretched his neck to look outside.

In the corridor not far away, a maid who was also dressed in navy blue stopped Chuntao and was trying to snatch the food box from her.

Chuntao had her back to this side, blocking the view. Song Ying could not see the maid's face clearly. He only saw a golden hairpin in her hair, which was adorned with two milky white pearls.

As the maid moved, the two pearls shook violently, which looked quite beautiful.

If she had not been wearing the standard dress of the maids in the Shen Mansion, Song Ying would have thought that she was a master who was not highly valued.

"Hmph! If you don't let go, you can't blame me if it spills!" the maid spoke, her tone extremely arrogant.

Song Ying was stunned and anxious, but she didn't step forward.

Chuntao was a second-class maid in the courtyard of the county lady of Shun'an. The other party dared to rob her directly. As a temporary worker, it was better for her to stand by and watch.
