The next morning, she got up and took care of herself as usual. She washed her clothes early and put a big fish into the fish basket.

Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi were mindful of their tasks and did not sleep in. They got up with Liu.

Because the residue was not filtered, the whole basin of liquid did not solidify even after being left to stand overnight.

The two of them carefully scrubbed the container twice, wiped it dry with cotton cloth, and then filtered out the mugwort juice bit by bit. By the time all the stuff in the large basin was completely filtered, the sun was already high in the sky.

The two carefully covered the basin with cotton cloth and placed it in Zhou Ming's study.

The two sisters wiped the sweat from their foreheads and realized how hard San Ya had worked to do all these things recently. They felt both admiration and heartache for her.

Zhu told Old Madam Zhou and her two sisters-in-law what she had asked Zhou Mingshu yesterday, and only then did she realize how effective mint was.

Now the family members no longer felt guilty. After all, it was something they could eat and drink, and there would be no harm in eating it.

So Zhu went to pick the fruits with a basket on her back. Not only did she need them for her family, she also wanted to dry some for her brother so he could use them for his studies.

The group of women were still washing clothes by the river. Seeing the two men picking mint again, they couldn't help but become curious.

This time, Zhu felt more confident. She introduced the benefits of the mint with a smile and advised everyone to pick some, dry it and make tea. The weather will be hot in a while, and every household will have busy farming work. This thing can relieve heat and fever, and can also cure diarrhea. It is a good thing.

Seeing that Zhu was serious, everyone believed it.

After washing the clothes, each of them took a basket to pick the fruits.

After all, it was their first time eating these things, so they didn't dare to pick too many. They just went home to try. If it wasn't as Mingyuan's mother said, then their efforts wouldn't be in vain.

When Zhu returned home, she took a handful of mint, washed it, and tried to boil a pot of tea.

Unexpectedly, the tea is yellow-green and clear. I took a sip and felt a little cool and dizzy in my throat. It is just as San Ya said, refreshing and invigorating.

She and Feng washed the remaining mint and spread it evenly on a bamboo basket to dry.

Zhu believed that this mint could be used for more than just making tea. Based on her observations in recent days, this mint could also be used to cook dishes.

Nowadays, San Ya works as a laborer in the town, so she can’t see her often and can only wait for her to come back from work to discuss things with her.

"Sister Banxia, ​​what kind of medicinal herb is this? It smells quite fragrant to me."

After a busy morning, almost noon, there was almost no one left in Baicaotang.

Chen Banxia took a closer look and found that it was dried tangerine peel.

"Sister Mingshu, this is called tangerine peel, which is the dried and mature peel of the citrus plant tangerine and its cultivated varieties. It has the effects of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm."

Seeing Zhou Mingshu's innocent look, Chen Banxia felt that what he had just said might be a bit profound. He coughed lightly and continued, "Actually, it is for loss of appetite, indigestion, vomiting, hiccups..."

Zhou Mingshu knew about tangerine peel and naturally understood some of its benefits.

But after hearing what Chen Banxia said, she deeply realized how effective tangerine peel was. She had just come into contact with traditional Chinese medicine, and her knowledge of it was very simple. Her first reaction when she saw tangerine peel was to use it to make tangerine peel candy and to make tea.

The way Chen Banxia explained tangerine peel just now made her feel how great the things passed down by their ancestors were. However, in modern times, Chinese medicine has been marginalized. For a moment, she felt her eyes getting hot.

"Sister Mingshu, what's wrong with you?" Chen Banxia noticed her abnormality and asked quickly.

"Sister Banxia, ​​I'm fine. I just felt inexplicably moved when I saw you explaining it just now. Our Jinmiao Town will have one more female doctor in the future. Sister Banxia, ​​you don't know that you looked like a Bodhisattva saving the world just now." Zhou Mingshu said with a smile.

Chen Banxia was so excited when she heard her say that and saw her mood improve. She asked immediately, "Sister Mingshu, are you telling the truth? Do I really look like a doctor?"

Since he was old enough to understand, Chen Banxia has taken his father as his role model, hoping to be able to save lives and become an excellent doctor in the future.

I used to hear my father say that she had an eccentric personality and lacked the steadiness of a doctor. Sister Mingshu was the first person to say that she was like a doctor. I would be lying if I weren't excited.

"Sister Banxia, ​​of course what I said is true. I can't be making it up."

Chen Banxia felt like crying. This was the first time she had been recognized after ten years of hard work.

Chen Banxia hugged Zhou Mingshu and said, "Sister Mingshu, thank you. I will definitely become an excellent doctor and save more and more people."

Zhou Mingshu placed his chin on Chen Banxia's shoulder, quietly waiting for her to digest her emotions.

"Yes, Sister Banxia, ​​you will."

Zhou Mingshu didn't know that a casual word she said would take root in the heart of the little girl in front of her and grow into a towering tree in the future.

"By the way, tangerine peel can be used to make tea. Let's cut some and make some tea. I haven't had it for a long time and I'm craving it."

Chen Banxia pressed the corner of his eye, opened the medicine cabinet containing tangerine peel, cut off some with scissors and threw them directly into the teapot.

"Sister Banxia, ​​you are a little greedy cat."

"Girl, how can you say that to your sister? It's all for you. I'm taking this opportunity to let you have a taste of it."

"Then Mingshu would like to thank you, sister. When I get something good in the future, I will definitely not forget you."

The two sisters were guarding the medicine hall, chattering happily.

In the backyard, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Xu were making today's lunch.

"Master, since Mingshu came here, our girl has been smiling more than before and learning things faster than before."

"That's right. Our girl has been taking care of the shop all day long and doesn't have a good sister. It's really unfair to her for so many years. Besides, if she wants to be a master and teach students, she must first learn it herself. How can she teach if she doesn't know how? In this way, she can take this opportunity to relearn the knowledge she has forgotten, and she will remember it more firmly in the future." Mr. Chen was cooking, and he seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head and laughed.

Madam Xu was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

Mr. Chen laughed out loud, "Banxia has been asking me questions whenever she gets a chance these past two days, but she doesn't dare to ask me directly, fearing that I'll find out that she has forgotten all the knowledge she learned before. She always asks me in a roundabout way. When I think of her, I find her so cute..."

Madam Xu's lips curved and she also laughed, "It's because you are too strict with her. You don't treat your own child better. She is thirteen years old now. She will be married in two years. Once she gets married, it will be too late for you to love her."

"My lady, this is wrong. Our girl is different from others. She is determined to become a female doctor. If you ask her to get married in two years, she will be very upset with you."

"That's because you've been instilling in her the idea of ​​saving lives and being a benevolent doctor. Her mind is full of studying medicine. It's all because of you. It's fine if you don't mention this. I get angry when you do..."

Madam Xu took the water scoop and poured it towards Mr. Chen.
