On the other side, Zhou Huaixing came out of the backyard of the drugstore angrily, took out his key, unlocked the bicycle parked in front of the drugstore, turned around and headed towards the street, his face suddenly changed.

"Er..." He hastily changed the subject, "Youngest, Yiding, you guys are here in Ning'an too! Haha! I'm here to buy some medicine!"

Zhou Huaian walked up to him with a cigarette in his mouth and blew a puff of smoke at him, "What's wrong? Didn't you get a good price for the red mushrooms?"

The West has become dark, and we must not offend the East anymore, otherwise we will be finished!

Zhou Huaixing took a deep breath, "Haha! Youngest brother, are you kidding me? The red mushrooms haven't come out yet!"

Zhou Huaian looked at him with sarcasm on his face, "What's the matter? Such a good way to make money, and the youngest bear and the owner of the big pharmacy are not satisfied?"

Damn it, even a pig's brain is better than yours. With your IQ, you still don't behave yourself. Sooner or later, you will become like the stray dog ​​in the village!

Seeing that he knew everything, Zhou Huaixing hurriedly argued, "Youngest brother, we are cousins, how could I do such a thing as stealing my brother's girlfriend! Really, I was just teasing him. I didn't even tell them what the red mushroom looked like. I just wanted to help you find out some information.

Listen to me, that bastard Xiong Laoyao not only wants to steal your business of collecting herbs, but also your business of collecting truffles. He has already told the owner of this drugstore about your family selling truffles.

And I have already contacted the boss in the provincial capital. I think they will also be collecting truffles in the second half of the year. You'd better make preparations early."

Zhou Huaian sneered, "If you say that, I'll have to hold a banquet to thank you!" He looked at him with disdain, "No wonder you were tricked into selling quotas. People like you are being sold and still have to help others count the money!"

After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at him and turned and walked straight towards the tractor.

Oops, now both sides are dark!

"Youngest, youngest~" Zhou Huaixing pushed his bicycle and chased after him. At this time, a polite voice came from behind, "Doctor Sun, you are busy, I will go first..."

He was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked over Xiong Laoyao's bicycle, pointed at him and said, "Xiong Laoyao, it turns out that you came to me to cooperate with me just to deceive me and trick me!"

"Ha!"

The youngest Xiong cursed and bent over to help the bicycle that had fallen to the ground. Zhou Huaixing, who was furious, kicked him on the butt. The youngest Xiong fell on the bicycle unexpectedly, and his crotch hit the handlebars...

"Ah~Ah..." The youngest bear held his crotch and screamed involuntarily. He felt a pain worse than death and his whole body felt like it was drained away...

"What's wrong? What happened?" Doctor Sun hurried out of the pharmacy.

"..." Seeing this, Zhou Huaixing turned around, got on his bike and ran away. Ouch! Damn! I'm in trouble if I break the egg yolk.

Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding, who were sitting on the tractor, couldn't help but squeeze their legs together, looked at each other and laughed out loud, "The sky in the liberated areas is bright, the people in the liberated areas like it so much, ya huhi huhi, ya huhihihi..."

The tractor rumbled towards North Street with black smoke emitting from it as the two sang cheerfully.

The two people's gloating singing reached the ears of the youngest bear. He was so hurt and angry that his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.

Doctor Sun helped him into the pharmacy and sat him on a long wooden chair. "Xiao Xiong, where are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

The youngest bear looked pale and curled up on the back of the chair to relax for a while. "Much better. It doesn't hurt as much as before."

Doctor Sun glanced at him and said, "Your face is pale from the pain. Let's go to the hospital!"

People are more reserved these days, so the youngest Xiong wouldn't have the nerve to go to the hospital and let the doctor see his private parts.

I felt that I was not in as much pain as before. "No! It only hurt when I bumped into it, but it's much better now."

Doctor Sun didn't try to persuade them. He thought of the two people who had just sung and asked, "Are those two people who sang just now also from your village?"

"The one driving the tractor is Zhou Huaian who collects truffles. The other one is his uncle's brother. They are closer than brothers."

The youngest Xiong is now jealous and hateful of Zhou Huaian. He is jealous that he has a wife who knows about herbs, and he is jealous of his brotherhood with Zhou Yiding. He feels that all good things fall on him, his brothers and sisters-in-law treat him well, and even his uncles and cousins ​​consider him in everything.

…

Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding shouted at the top of their lungs all the way, and at the North Street intersection they met an old man selling rat poison, who was singing as he walked while carrying a load on his shoulder.

"Rat poison, rat poison, rats can't escape after eating it. Eat one less cigarette, or rats won't play on the swing. Eat one less piece of candy, or rats won't gnaw on your flowery clothes."

Zhou Huaian braked and stopped the engine, "Our singing is not as good as the one selling rat poison."

"I sang well when I was in school, but I haven't practiced for a long time." Zhou Yiding jumped off the tractor and thought of the youngest bear. He couldn't help laughing again. "I saw that his face turned pale. It's true that bitches will get their comeuppance one day!"

Zhou Huaian didn't expect that the two people who colluded with each other would end the show before it even started. "God is too lazy to pay attention to these two rats. They are just biting each other."

“That’s an apt metaphor!”

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at Desheng Hall. Zhou Huaian walked into the clinic carrying his backpack, "Doctor Wang, are you here alone?"

Doctor Wang looked up, saw the two and smiled, "Wang Zhen and Xiao Mei went to Hengshan. I was going to go there too, but something delayed me."

After hearing this, Zhou Huaian happily put down his back clip and rubbed his hands happily, "That's great, Doctor Xiao Wang is mature and steady, and my sister-in-law is lively and generous. The two of them are simply a perfect match."

Zhou Yiding was happy for the two after hearing this, "Yes, I also think that their personalities are perfect for each other."

Doctor Wang smiled and said, "I also have to thank Xiaomei for not thinking Wang Zhen is too boring."

Ever since Yang Dongmei came to the clinic, Wang Zhen has become more talkative and cheerful than before. He is no longer as old-fashioned as before and looks even more like an old man than this old man.

The Yang family members were all of good character. Little Dongmei was more lively and generous than the two older ones. She was also able to concentrate on following Wang Zhen to study those boring medical books. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, discussing things together, she readily agreed to their relationship.

Zhou Huaian: "No way, Doctor Wang is not boring at all, he just doesn't like talking to people he can't get along with."

Doctor Wang: "That's with you. Some old customers who have been sending herbs for several years will tell them the most about how many kilograms it is and how much it costs in total."

Zhou Huaian thought about it and it was true. "The day before yesterday, I went to Baicaoping and collected some herbs and wild honey. I brought them back to show you."

"Okay!" Doctor Wang said to Zhou Yiding, "Let's go to the backyard to weigh it. Please help me for a while."

"Okay, I'll be the temporary shopkeeper!"

Zhou Huaian picked up his backpack and followed Doctor Wang to the backyard. He weighed the Ganoderma lucidum, Codonopsis pilosula, and Paris polyphylla, and then poured the honey into the wooden barrel in the pharmacy and weighed it.

After checking out, it was pretty much the same as his estimate, with a total profit of 213 yuan.

When the two of them went out, Doctor Wang said, "Xiao Zhou, go back and ask the villagers to dig more Artemisia capillaris, which is what you call Artemisia argyi. The wet ones are 5 cents per pound, and the dry ones are 36 cents per pound."

Zhou Huaian nodded, and looked at him puzzledly, "Doctor Wang, what kind of herb is Artemisia capillaris?"

"In March, it's Artemisia selengensis, and in April, it's Artemisia selengensis season. These days, it's the season to harvest Artemisia selengensis in the mountains."

"I know about that. I'll have someone dig it up and send it home when I get back."

Artemisia capillaris: Also known as oregano, artemisia capillaris, velvet wormwood, fine-leaved artemisia annua, and rat's claw.

Artemisia capillaris is the young seedlings of the Asteraceae plant Artemisia capillaris that sprout in spring. It is significantly different from Artemisia annua, especially during the spring germination period, and it is easy to distinguish.

Artemisia capillaris is grayish white in color and often curled into a ball. Its leaves are grayish white or grayish green, and are densely covered with white hairs. They feel soft to the touch. They have a light fragrance and a slightly bitter taste. They are completely different from the green Artemisia annua.

Artemisia capillaris is most valuable when it grows to about three inches in length. Fresh and tender Artemisia capillaris can be used to make many kinds of delicious ingredients. You can collect the young leaves and blanch them in water for salad dressing, or use them to thaw and steam vegetable dumplings, or dry them and stir-fry them to make Artemisia capillaris tea for drinking.

Artemisia capillaris clears away heat and dampness; it relieves jaundice. Indications: jaundice, dysuria, itching of wet sores, infectious icteric hepatitis, etc. Pharmacological studies have shown that it has the effects of promoting gallbladder, protecting liver function, relieving fever, anti-inflammatory, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, and dilating the coronary artery.

The whole plant can be used as medicine to prevent influenza, treat heatstroke, colds, headaches and heaviness, abdominal pain, vomiting, chest fullness, qi obstruction and food stagnation, abdominal distension due to food accumulation in children, diarrhea, menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, leucorrhea, skin itching and edema. Its heat dissipation and release function is better than that of mint.

According to legend, the famous doctor Hua Tuo was practicing medicine. One day, he went to a village to collect herbs and met a farmer who was picking wild grass. He saw that the farmer's face was swollen, his skin was yellow, and he walked with the help of a crutch and had a staggering gait.

He examined him for free and learned that his condition was serious and he would die within a few months. Feeling helpless, he could only say a few words of comfort and leave.

Half a year later, Hua Tuo came to the village again and was surprised to find that the villager was not only safe and sound, but the jaundice on his tongue had also subsided and his tongue coating was slightly red. He knew that the wild vegetables the farmer ate must contain herbs that could cure jaundice.

Ask him what medicine he took to cure his terminal illness.

The farmer said, "I can't even afford food, so how can I use the money to buy medicine? God has been watching over me. I have been eating Artemisia annua and wild vegetables for a few months. Now I feel a little stronger in my legs and feet. I even threw away my crutches."

Hua Tuo couldn't help but marvel in amazement. After learning the whole story, the villagers told Hua Tuo that due to the outbreak of the epidemic, no one had the energy to grow crops. In desperation, they went to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. The most eaten was a kind of wormwood with gray-green leaves.

Hua Tuo and his disciples gained new insights into this artemisia after three years of exploration.

This plant, commonly known as Artemisia annua, is most useful when picked in March or around the Qingming Festival every year. However, after this early spring season, as the weather gets warmer, this Artemisia annua loses its value.

Because this kind of wormwood is easily confused with Artemisia annua, Hua Tuo named this kind of wormwood: Artemisia capillaris.

I have also compiled a jingle for everyone so that everyone can better understand and use it. This jingle is: Artemisia capillaris in March, Artemisia argyi in April, May and June are used as firewood. (End of this chapter)
