Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Han Zhaozhao sighed, "It's time to dig medicinal herbs now, but due to the drought this year, the herbs on the mountain died or dried up, and basically didn't grow much.

Without rain, the soil will be hardened and it will be difficult to dig medicinal herbs. Wait a little longer. I observed the sky at night and it will rain within three days.

After the rain, the soil will become loose, and we can make some extra money while the solar term is still going on."

Wu Ni Xiaoliang's eyes sparkled: Sister Zhao Zhao is so capable!

Aunt Shufen seemed to be thinking: Can digging medicinal herbs and selling them for money?

Niu Xiaoyun's son was confused by what he heard. "Observe the sky at night? It will rain within three days? Zhao Zhao, when did you learn to observe the sky? How come I don't know?"

Han Zhaozhao put on an air of a hermit, imitating a character from a later movie, "I just found out about this too! Haven't you heard that good Chinese medicine practitioners are all half-human, half-immortal?

Am I not learning Chinese medicine from my master now? Although I am not that capable yet, I still have hope, right? "

"never heard of that!"

"If you don't have the ability, why are you talking nonsense?" Everyone was amused by her and answered.

"I have heard of it." Aunt Shufen firmly supports Han Zhaozhao. She heard from the elders in the village that a good Chinese medicine practitioner knows astronomy and geography, and understands the Book of Changes, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements.

"When I was a child, I met such a Chinese medicine doctor who said he could tell fortunes. It was true, and I couldn't deny it!

What's more, the calculation is very accurate. Just by looking at the patient, they can tell what time the patient went to bed at night, what the patient had eaten in the past few days, what his stool looked like, and how many times he went to the toilet a day, and they can calculate it exactly.

At that time, some people didn't believe me and said I was a fake doctor. Others would feel the pulse, look at the tongue, etc., but why didn't you check anything?

The Chinese doctor just took a glance at him and immediately told on the spot what his family was like, what his children were like, what diseases his three previous generations had suffered from, how old he was, and what his current health condition was!

That shocked everyone, and they treated him like a god."

Han Zhaozhao took the opportunity to popularize science to everyone: "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes 'observation, listening, questioning and palpation'. A good traditional Chinese medicine practitioner can fully understand the patient's condition with just the word 'observation'.

It’s completely different from Western medicine, which has no machines, no test results, and basically cannot treat diseases.

If Western medicine is science, then Chinese medicine is super science! There are still some people who clamor that Chinese medicine is feudal superstition and dregs, and they want to overthrow Chinese medicine.

For thousands of years, ordinary people have relied on traditional Chinese medicine to cure illnesses and save lives.

Our ancestors’ traditional Chinese medicine is amazing, and the fact that it has been passed down for thousands of years speaks volumes.”

"That's right. Western medicine has only been introduced here for a few years. Our ancestors have been relying on Chinese medicine doctors to survive!"

While we were chatting, Xiao Sanzi's father came.

When everyone saw that something was happening, they realized that something was happening and dispersed.

Qian Shuangxi handed the old lady a cloth bag and said, "Aunt, these are the dried shrimps and fish I brought back from my business trip. They are not worth much, but I'll give them to you to try."

The old lady took it and weighed it. Wow! It weighed more than ten pounds.

When I opened it, I saw a big bag of dried shrimps and a big bag of dried fish. I couldn't tell what kind of fish they were. They must be something exclusive to the south.

There were also five or six flattened dried squids, which looked well-dried and had salt frost on them.

"These are good things, we can't accept them. Uncle Qian, every family is in a hard time now, why don't you take the pigeons to the pigeon market to exchange for something?"

Although the capital is not far from Tianjin, due to limited transportation capacity, ordinary people rarely eat seafood. The package sent by the Qian family is worthless in coastal areas, but it is extremely rare in the capital.

Qian Shuangxi was a little embarrassed, "I've been there, but Pigeon City doesn't have what I need."

The old lady understood, this was her family’s!

"Hey, what are you hesitating about regarding the relationship between our two families?

Just tell me what you need. As long as I have it, you don’t need to change it. I’ll give it to you directly!”

The Qian family is not the kind of family that takes advantage of others, the old lady said this with confidence.

"Hey, Auntie, that won't do. How can I take your things for free? I'm not as shameless as Xiao Sanzi.

It's like this, I think the dried sweet potatoes that Xiao Sanzi eats at your house are very good, so I want to exchange some with you.

Don’t I often go on long trips? Bring some goodies with you so that you can store them well. If you miss a place to stop along the way, you won’t have to worry about going hungry.”

The old lady slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, is that all? Look how embarrassed you are. There are a lot of them at home!"

What kind do you want, dried, fried, or steamed and dried?"

The Qian family still had two sacks of dried sweet potatoes, and Qian Shuangxi took a fancy to the dried sweet potatoes fried by Han Zhaozhao.

Han Zhaozhao came up with this new recipe for stir-fried sweet potatoes a few days ago, specially for himself and Wu Ni as a snack.

The dried sweet potatoes that were dried last autumn were soaked in brine made with star anise and salt, then fried dry with hot fine sand.

It is crispy, crunchy and fragrant when eaten, and it can fill you up and satisfy your appetite. The key is that it does not attract attention.

The old lady filled half a bag for Qian Shuangxi and told him that she had all the seasonings at home and could teach him how to cook them himself at home.

Qian Shuangxi went home satisfied.

Little Sanzi was left behind, and Wu Ni hadn't checked her homework yet, so it was just a good thing for him to worry about.

Han Zhaozhao changed the water for the clam turtle and went back to her room to read and do homework. She didn't care how Xiao Sanzi was tortured.

The next day, Wu Ni refused to go to work with the old lady and insisted on watching the release of the animals.

No one knew where Grandpa Guan heard about this, but he came home early in the morning and took her two sisters with him.

Now, Han Zhaozhao was sitting on the shaking bicycle again.

Wu Ni sat in the main seat, squealing with joy, while Han Zhaozhao sat in the back seat, grimacing.

Even so, I still have to carry the bucket and the fishing rod, so both hands are busy.

Once we arrived at Houhai, the release process was simple and straightforward; it was done by simply lifting the bucket into the water.

Han Zhaozhao was stunned: No, there is no process, no form, not even a few words of blessing and wishing?

So careless?

"That's it? Why did I bother you? I can do it myself!" Han Zhaozhao was very dissatisfied. Why did she run so far? If she was close to home, she could just find a puddle and it would be done.

I'm sorry to have wasted her time. She wanted to go to the hardware store to buy car wheels today. They were out of stock some time ago, and they said a batch of goods would be transferred from another place today.

She was afraid that if she went too late she would miss out on getting one, and then she would have to wait again.

"Ah, that's it! What do you want? You don't want to burn some incense or offer some fruit? That's all feudal superstition!

Release them, release them. To release them alive is releasing them.

I don't like to talk to you, but I listen to your grandma! I finally caught a turtle, and instead of stewing it to feed the whole family, I insisted on releasing it.

Do you know how rare it is to get turtles in this month? To be honest, I prepared some steamed bread last night. If you kill the turtle, I can have a bite."

Old Master Guan looked longingly at the direction where the turtle was swimming and secretly swallowed his saliva.
