A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Shen Jiaren was a little unconvinced, "Is this really Zhao Yuanchao's suggestion?"

Chen Jiaojiao glanced at Shen Jiaren and said nothing.

Seeing this, Shen Jiaren continued, "Zhao Yuanchao, Liu Mei, and the others had already been working in the countryside for a long time before you and I came. It's impossible that just because of Song Xiangxue's change, they're starting something they've never done before. Even if we take a step back, does he really know any herbs?"

Chen Jiaojiao glanced at Shen Jiaren and said, "My father gave his opinion. My father gave his opinion after listening to what happened at the educated youth camp. My mother's health has become worse because of this incident, especially after coming here.

My mother's illness requires nutrition and medicine, but my parents and I don't have much money, so we can only find ways to make money.

After my father heard what I said about Song Xiangxue, he came up with this idea.

He was giving advice from the back, I was in the front, with Zhao Yuanchao assisting, and the three of us got the job done quietly.

This way, when I have more money, I can buy medicine and food to supplement my mother's nutrition."

Shen Jiaren knew she was being a bit aggressive, so she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect it to be like this. It's just that you said Zhao Yuanchao was doing this, and I really couldn't believe it. I thought there was something else going on."

Chen Jiaojiao waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I already told you that my parents were sent here. I also told you that they are both doctors. Plus, you and Zhao Yuanchao were quite close before, so it was only a matter of time before you figured it out."

Shen Jiaren thought for a moment, "Since you mentioned that, I'll go ask you tomorrow what herbs they've collected. Also, what exactly is your father's idea? Isn't he just going to simply prepare herbs and sell them? He's a doctor after all. If he only deals in herbs, it would be a waste of his talent."

Chen Jiaojiao, "That's why I asked you about Qin Bing's intention just now. It's winter now, and my dad meant to make a frostbite ointment first. The ingredients are relatively simple, just calamine and lard. It's just that lard is hard to get, so pig fat is the best. If you don't have it, you can use fat from other parts of the pig as a substitute. Otherwise, you can use Aconitum kusnezoffii, Artemisia selengensis, etc. to make an ointment that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. This can also treat frostbite. But the trouble with this medicine is that Aconitum kusnezoffii is available in our area, but it needs to be harvested and processed in the late autumn of the current year or the early spring of the following year. Artemisia selengensis, we don't have Artemisia selengensis in our area, so we need to buy it at the hospital.

All of these require money, so my father meant that we should start by picking herbs, preparing them and selling them, and then accumulate money slowly.

If it can be done and expanded, then use the name of the brigade. If not, then do it on a small scale and manage yourself first."

Shen Jiaren thought about her own manor's warehouse. She remembered that she had heard someone say that eating cooking oil leads to stickiness and vascular diseases, and that she should eat lard occasionally. She froze a lot of lard in the manor. "Uncle, your idea is not wrong. When you are rich, you should help the world; when you are poor, you should take care of yourself. I don't know about calamine, Artemisia selengensis, and Aconitum kusnezoffii you mentioned. I just joined the pharmacy and started with drying and endorsement. I can ask you if the hospital warehouse sells them and what the price is.

But I can try to find some pork lard for you.

As for Qin Bing, I feel very familiar with him, but I really don't think he's very familiar, just someone you see often. You could take me to meet him next time, or tell me who he's related to, or something like that. Who knows, maybe we'll get to know each other in some way."
