Chapter 399: The Old Taoist Temple in the Tang Dynasty Xiao Kun Dao 7

Jiang Yue greeted the protagonist and went in to check his sister's pulse. After checking the pulse, he wrote out a prescription and asked someone to boil some medicine. After sending out the unnecessary people, he started using acupuncture to reduce the fever.

After the servant handed the prescription to the protagonist, he couldn't understand it. He could only wave his hand and ask someone to boil the medicine. After the medicine was boiled, the high fever subsided. This person who is even more awesome than the master of traditional Chinese medicine is so amazing that no further explanation is needed.

After coming out of the tent, Jiang Yue told the protagonist about the patient's condition. The main problem was that the protagonist's sister was too weak. After all, before the protagonist came here, the women, children and the elderly had a very bad life. Although the protagonist consulted a doctor after he came here, how could he recover in less than a year?

The protagonist came out of the tent after the fever subsided and the patient fell asleep. After thanking Jiang Yue, he arranged for the other doctors to be sent back. Then he arranged a place for Jiang Yue to live with his sister. There was nothing he could do about it since Jiang Yue was a woman and their only female relative was their sister. Jiang Yue couldn't be arranged to sleep with the servants when she came to see the doctor.

The next morning, the patient's condition was much better. Jiang Yue adjusted the prescription and asked him to continue taking the medicine. At this time, the doctor invited by the protagonist from Chang'an arrived. It could be seen that the protagonist was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Yue didn't mind the other person's behavior. She found an excuse to go out for a walk and found the village chief to ask him to go back first. She said that he could just walk back slowly when the time came.

After staying for two days and receiving twenty taels of silver and a bunch of supplies, Jiang Yue went home. Because the protagonist had to go back to the city, Jiang Yue was sent home by a horse carriage, and the supplies were also delivered by soldiers. Jiang Yue gave some to the village chief's family. It was not just a visit for her, but mainly because they helped feed Sanhua these days.

After the episode, Jiang Yue started to farm. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to dig wild vegetables. Jiang Yue then understood why her master stopped at two or three acres of land, because she couldn't work on it, and she couldn't get the cows up there. Before, it was just her and Jiang Yue, and they didn't have to pay taxes. The extra income from intensive farming and from curing illnesses, saving lives and performing rituals was enough for the two of them to spend.

Jiang Yue didn't understand and didn't react at first. He used the puppets to open up a few more acres of land. Now he had to either suffer the hardship himself or use the puppets. After thinking about it, he decided to use the puppets for the newly opened land. It couldn't be wasted since it had been opened. If it couldn't be eaten up in the end, he could use it to help people and do good deeds. It was better than letting it become barren again.

After handing over the other land to the puppet, Jiang Yue felt a lot more relaxed. Now she could take time to dig wild vegetables, bamboo shoots and mushrooms.

After digging for half a day, Jiang Yue walked back with half a basket of mountain delicacies on her back, and greeted the villagers she met. Jiang Yue knew these people, and they also knew Jiang Yue. Seeing that Jiang Yue's basket was not full, they wanted to share some of their harvest with Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue hurriedly refused, mainly because she had enough to eat, and the puppet had collected a lot in the deep mountains.

She deliberately didn't look for too much, because there were only a few things that were easy to find. She had a puppet to go look in the mountains so she wouldn't have to compete with everyone for food. She came out to look for it by herself mainly for fun and to pass the time.

After returning to the Taoist temple, we put the wild vegetables in a cool place, because we couldn’t finish them in one day. In the evening, we mixed the wild vegetables and fried some bamboo shoots, and a delicious meal was ready.

Jiang Yue did not go out the next day. She processed the wild vegetables and saved them for eating in the winter when there was no vegetable available. After processing the wild vegetables, she looked at the dried bamboo and planned to use the bamboo to weave some racks and winnowing baskets for drying medicinal herbs, as the previous ones were a little old and unstable.

Because Jiang Yue did not go out today, the uncles and aunts who had not seen Jiang Yue came to the Taoist temple to take a look. When they saw that she was weaving, she might have had an accident, so she left some wild vegetables and ran away. Jiang Yue wanted to stop her but couldn't.

After thanking the old man and woman, Jiang Yue continued to concentrate on weaving bamboo strips in her hands. She had woven two large frames today, and there was still a long way to go for the winnowing basket. Anyway, there was still plenty of time, so she could take her time.

A few days later, a peddler came to the village. Jiang Yue remembered that her family was doing this in her lifetime. Most of the things the peddler brought were daily necessities. The rarest thing she had never seen before was the snowflake salt. Ignoring the surprise of the people around her, she bought some daily necessities and went up the mountain.

After putting the salt away, Jiang Yue lay on the recliner and rested for a while. The salt that the protagonist had purified had already started to be sold. The first climax of the plot was coming. Salt was related to the interests of so many people. How could they not be angry when the protagonist destroyed their rice bowls? Of course, those salt merchants would not know that the protagonist had handed over the method of making salt. Li Shimin pushed the protagonist out just to find out how deep the water was.

I just don't know when the method of iron smelting was improved. Jiang Yue wanted to buy an iron pot. Although there were iron pots in those days, they were not the style we were used to in later generations, and ordinary people could not afford them. Only some nobles could afford them. The main reason why there were no iron pots was that the technology was underdeveloped. The iron smelted was not enough to make swords, so how could the precious iron be used to make iron pots?

The art of cooking became popular around Chang'an only after the protagonist arrived. Before that, even if it existed, few people knew about it. After all, there was little oil in the pots, and these two points severely restricted it.

Once iron pans become popular, Jiang Yue won't have to use them secretly. It's not like now when you have to cook in secret. Take it slow, think about it from another perspective. Now you don't have to cook in secret.

After lying down for a while, I removed the grass in the yard. After removing the grass in the yard, I cleaned up the grass around the Taoist temple and on the side of the path. Otherwise, it would easily attract snakes, insects and the like, which would affect walking and the appearance.

After cleaning up the area around the Taoist temple, it was getting late. After finishing the evening class, it was time to think about what to eat. After becoming a Taoist priest, she tended to eat mostly vegetarian food and didn't eat meat. Although Jiang Yue's sect didn't have a rule prohibiting eating meat, before Jiang Yue came here, her original master had cooked for her when she was a child because she was weak and needed supplements.

After growing up, the original body rarely ate it, maybe only once every few years, and that was because the original body was very greedy. As for her master, Jiang Yue didn't remember eating it much. After Jiang Yue came here, she never ate meat and only ate vegetarian food.

After putting away the kitchen knife and broom, Jiang Yue went to the room where the grain was stored and saw that the bamboo shoots on the ground had been there for a few days. There were still some left, so she made some braised bamboo shoots. She cut and blanched them, and then started cooking after the rice was cooked. After dinner, she put away the iron pot, went out for a while, and then went to bed when she saw that it was almost time.

The next morning, she went down the mountain early. She had prescribed medicine for a patient before, and today she made a follow-up visit to see if the patient had recovered. After the examination, she was sent out by her family. Jiang Yue walked to a crowded place and stopped. She would not go down the mountain to see only one family at a time. It was almost time, and when it was about to get dark, Jiang Yue said goodbye and returned to the mountain.
