In the afternoon, Hua Heng took his wife, older student Yanan, to the hot spring valley to check the construction of the new courtyard. They also conducted a real-life teaching: identifying roadside weeds and plants. From the moment they left the courtyard, they kept asking questions like "What is this?" and "What is that called?" Hua Heng had a headache and was helpless. This was the first time he had encountered such a curious student. The problem was that he was not a botanist and did not know all the plants. He could only identify herbal medicines!

Purslane, mugwort, cassia seed, plantain, motherwort, houttuynia cordata, bidens pilosa, xanthium sibiricum...

After he answered a long list of common roadside herbs, Yanan pointed to an unknown small tree and asked, "Husband, what is this tree called?"

Hua Heng felt his mouth dry from answering so many questions. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My dear, don't worry. Let's do it one by one, okay? It's not enough to just know the name. We also have to remember its medicinal value. It'll be fine if we learn one a day!"

Yanan was stunned. It seemed that she had really been asking for names. She was familiar with these names, but many of them did not match the plants themselves. Yanan was also embarrassed about her curiosity that was like that of a two or three-year-old child. She took Huaheng's arm, lowered her head and leaned obediently on his shoulder.

Hua Heng saw her rare shy expression, so cute! He couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe, my lady, why don't you study mugwort first? I can teach you how to make moxa sticks, how about that?"

"Okay! I know about mugwort. It can be used for foot soaking, moxibustion, and the young leaves can be used to make mugwort rice cakes!" Yanan finally found a topic that she was familiar with, and asked if anyone had ever eaten Huaheng mugwort rice cakes.

"I've never eaten Ai Ciba. Can you make it, ma'am?" Hua Heng was looking forward to his wife's performance. Since he was a child, he had been surrounded by mostly careless men, and no one would spend time on these snacks.

"Well, I've bought it and eaten it, but I've never made it myself. But I think it's not difficult, I should be able to make it, husband, I'll make it for you around Qingming Festival next year when the mugwort is the tenderest." Yanan felt that she could do it, it was just glutinous rice cake with mugwort added, she had also eaten colorful glutinous rice balls dyed with various plants. She was a typical example of someone who had eaten it but never made it, you can't blame her, it was originally sold everywhere.

"Okay! I'll wait. Mugwort is warm and dry in nature, and can dispel the cold, but it should be used with caution by those with yin deficiency and blood heat, and by pregnant women. Moreover, fresh mugwort is slightly toxic, and cannot be used directly as medicine or for making tea. It needs to be dried before use..." When Hua Heng talked about his field of knowledge, he was both rigorous and professional.

"Oh, it can't be eaten fresh, but it can dispel the cold, so you can soak your feet and take a bath to get rid of the cold. That is to say, only dried mugwort has medicinal value..." Yanan said that he understood.

"Well, my wife is smart. To make moxa sticks, you have to use aged moxa wool, which has been aged for one or two years. Especially moxa sticks made with moxa wool that has been aged for three years have the best effect! As the saying goes, if you have three years of moxa at home, you don't need a doctor! There is also a saying that 'what acupuncture can't do, moxibustion can do'. Moxibustion has a great effect! It's enough for my wife to study it thoroughly." Hua Heng really cared about her. He didn't want to see her blindly and widely involved in the field of medicinal materials. He hoped that she would focus on a certain category. The three magic weapons of traditional Chinese medicine are acupuncture, moxibustion, and Chinese medicine. It's enough for my wife to learn how to make moxa, identify acupuncture points, and use moxibustion for syndrome differentiation.

"Bian Que's Heart Book" records: The method of life preservation is to burn moxa first, medicinal pills second, and aconite third. "Huangdi Neijing" records: What acupuncture cannot do, moxibustion can do. "Introduction to Learning Medicine" records: When medicine is not enough and acupuncture is not enough, moxibustion must be used. "Herb from New" records: moxibustion is of pure yang nature, can restore the dying yang, pass through the twelve meridians, run through the three yin, regulate qi and blood, expel cold and dampness, warm the uterus, and moxibustion with fire can penetrate all meridians and eliminate all diseases. "Acupuncture and Moxibustion" records: The effect of moxa is beneficial to all things, regardless of gender, age, rich or poor, noble or humble, and species with flesh and blood. "Huangdi Neijing" says "Yang Qi is enough to live a thousand years", this invisible Qi, Yuan Qi, and Zheng Qi are the most fundamental life!

"The human body's qi and yang have three major functions: the first is the biochemical function, which relies on the human body's yang to generate qi, blood, essence, and body fluids; the second is the function of dissemination, which relies on the transportation and distribution of the human body's qi, blood, and body fluids; the third is the function of defending against external invasion, which is to resist the invasion of diseases. Yang qi is the best "cure medicine" in the human body."

Hua Heng's well-reasoned and persuasive words really touched Yanan. The mugwort, a mere thing, could have such a long history and profound knowledge. It was enough for her to study for a lifetime! This method of resisting all diseases with one move won Yanan's heart. She felt as if she was practicing a move to defeat the enemy!

"I have decided. I want to plant 10,000 mu of mugwort garden, make moxa sticks, make moxa boxes, monopolize the moxibustion industry chain in Da Ling country! Benefit mankind!" Finally found the direction of career positioning, life is no longer boring. Ambitious Yanan immediately set up her own great goal, not realizing that she was stealing her man's business. Hua Heng chuckled when he heard it. He liked to see her confident and energetic look! In this way, he and his wife also have a common hobby. It's great to be able to take care of each other and support each other! Unintentionally, Hua Heng understood the highest skill of love.

"As a husband, I will definitely fully support your career!" Hua Heng looked at her with a smile in his eyes, full of love and tenderness.

"Thank you, my husband, for your support and love!" Yanan looked back with curved eyebrows, a smile and affection.

At the edge of the bamboo forest, the couple embraced each other, looked at each other affectionately, confided their true feelings to each other, and their hearts were swayed!
