    After dinner, he went to the river to take a bath. He brought back a bundle of calamus and some mint, and soaked a cup of mint water. Then Chen Xu sat on the stone in the yard and began to sort out the herbs.

    Actually, this big basket is not all filled with herbs, there are many other things in it.

    The first thing to deal with is the calamus. The calamus grows near the ditch. The leaves are soft and slender. In April and May, a flower stem will grow in the middle. The stamens will expand into a brown-yellow stick, shaped like a candle. Therefore, the calamus is also called  Water candle.

    The main medicinal part of calamus is on this flower stick, and it is picked in April and May. The pollen inside is used, which is called Puhuang. The main function of Puhuang is to stop bleeding and disperse blood stasis. It can be taken internally or externally.  It is the most common hemostatic drug in rural areas. It can be found almost everywhere in ditches, ditches, swamps, riverbanks and ponds. Generally, when you encounter superficial injuries and bleeding in rural areas, you can grab a bunch of fluffy flower spikes from the calamus stick and press it on the bleeding area, or even  There is no need to bandage, and the bleeding will stop in a few minutes. If the wound is deep, after the bleeding has stopped, you can fry the flower spikes and grind them into powder and take it orally. This can speed up the blood coagulation in the wound and speed up the process of stopping bleeding.

    "Brother, are you going to use cattail flowers as a pillow? But there are too few!" Myolie squatted on the ground and looked at the cattail flowers and said.

    "No, cattail sticks can stop bleeding. Go and get me a pottery basin. Pull off the hairs on these cattail sticks and put them in the pot to dry."

    "Dashi, go and chop down three old bamboos, one thick and two thin!"

    "Mom, go and bring me a clean rattan basket and a few bowls. I'll use them later."

    Under Chen Xu¡¯s instructions, the whole family began to get busy.

    Chen Xu also took out other things from the rattan basket, including a few wild yams, which he discovered accidentally. Although summer is not the season for digging, since he came across it, Chen Xu couldn't help but dig it.  After returning home, this thing strengthens the body and replenishes Qi, which is very good for people who are weak. Moreover, the stewed pork ribs with yam is also a delicacy. He happens to have a few large pieces of pork ribs at home. For him who has been thinking about the food of later generations, it is not too big.  resistance.

    If you have Shanxi mature vinegar, it will be absolutely delicious to make a vinegar-soaked yam dish. Holding these yam sticks, Chen Xu felt that his saliva was flowing down instantly.

    "Three licorice roots, which are about the same thickness as eggs, have been growing in the mountains and forests for who knows how many years, and they are almost the same as tree roots.

    "Brother, isn't this licorice?" Xing'er squatted next to her and asked, holding a cattail stick.

    Because Erxi was treated for poisoning last time, everyone in the village already knew licorice.

    "Well, licorice can detoxify many kinds of poisons. You can soak it in water and drink it after it is sliced ??and dried. You can help me take it and wash it with water first!" Chen Xu handed three licorice sticks to Xing'er.

    "Mom, help me cut these grass vines into small pieces"

    The sky soon gradually darkened, and a few people gathered around the fire and continued to work by the light of the fire. The fire was already surrounded by large and small rattan baskets and pottery bowls, and even the earthen pots for cooking rice were finally taken out.  There is no place to put the rest of the things.

    Chen Xu had no choice but to give up temporarily.

    The recruited civilian husband only had two days to prepare before gathering in Qinghe Town, so he needed to process the medicinal materials within two days. Many of the medicinal materials that should have been dried or dried could only be processed by drying.  , As for the effect I can only guess. At least these must be pure wild herbs that have been wild for many years. Their efficacy is completely incomparable with those of later generations that are artificially cultivated and fertilized and quickly produced. Even if some of the efficacy is lost, they should still have good effects.

    What's more, what I do is just doing my best and obeying fate. The actual effect is completely unknown, but there is no doubt about the starting point, which is a heart of compassion for heaven and earth. I hope that those who go to serve in the village can come back alive and intact.  .

    A night of silence.

    The next day at dawn, the whole family got up early and continued to process the herbs, slicing them, cutting them into sections, boiling them, drying them, and grinding them into powder using a stone mortar.

    Because of what happened yesterday, the atmosphere in the village today is particularly dull and depressing.

    The loud chatter and laughter and children¡¯s playfulness that could be heard on weekdays all disappeared without a trace.

    When the villagers met, they only nodded and said hello in a low voice, with solemn expressions on their faces.

    After breakfast, Ushi Oishi brought his younger brother and Ushida over to help.

    ??The day passed by in a busy day. When the sun was about to go down, Chen Xu collected several of the most important medicinal materials together. After a day of drying, drying, grinding and powdering, Chen XuAfter preparation, it is almost ready to be made into pills and powders.

    But when he sat down with a bowl and looked at a row of large bamboo tubes containing various medicinal powders, he remembered that there was no adhesive to roll the powders into pills.

    Originally, the pill he was going to make was very simple, which was Turen Dan. It was mainly used to clear away heat and relieve heat, so as to prevent headaches and brain fever after heatstroke in too hot weather. Because these people were going there right now during the hottest summer, so this problem might manifest itself.  The most obvious.

    The so-called Turen Dan is a human medicine pill with incomplete medicinal materials. He pieced it together based on the method of his second grandfather when he was a child. He remembers that there are more than ten kinds of medicinal powders such as licorice, tangerine peel, cardamom, patchouli, cinnamon, mint, and borneol mixed together and added  Small pills made of adhesives, but now he only found three kinds, namely licorice, mint and platycodon, so he added some artemisia annua, turmeric and skullcap, but these three kinds he planned to add  The amount is very small, because I don't know if adding it will produce any competing medicinal properties, but I vaguely remember that these three medicinal materials also have the effect of clearing away heat, so I think adding a little less will not poison people.

    However, everything was ready, but it was discovered that the adhesive was missing. It would definitely not be possible to knead these powders into pills with water.

    I remember that my second grandfather used thick rice soup boiled with glutinous rice, corn flour, and honey, and then beat them together into a paste, added medicinal powder, and kneaded it directly with his hands, but now there are none of these three.

    Let¡¯s not talk about glutinous rice. Although it was already cultivated in China at this time, it was all in the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the yield was extremely low. From ancient times to the next two thousand years, the compatriots in Henan only like to eat pasta, so Nanyang is mainly cultivated.  The food is wheat.

    There is even less cornmeal, which was not introduced to China until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    As for honey, well, he hasn¡¯t seen it since he traveled through time, and it seems that the Qin Dynasty did not have the habit and occupation of beekeeping.

    Nima a gourd scoop!

    Chen Xu sat on the stone in a daze and began to smile bitterly. At the same time, he also began to think hard. Although powder is also available, it is very inconvenient to take it when taken internally, especially when working, and how much should be taken each time.  It's also a problem.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
