Xie Wan was overjoyed and praised: "Duanduan, you are thoughtful.
I will go back to South City in a few days and ask Qin Muye to help me bring in a few sheep.
As for the medicinal herbs, please bring your brothers and sort them out by category. I will find a way to deal with them."
Duanduan turned to a certain page in the notebook and said:
“Queen Mother, the medicinal materials have been sorted out according to your request.
The quantity of each type is in this little book."
Xie Wan took Duanduan's small notebook and took a look. It recorded in detail the time and quantity of the harvesting of medicinal herbs.
"Duanduan, you do your job so well. You are much more capable than your father."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. These are not the achievements of Duanduan alone.
My second brother does most of the work of identifying and organizing medicinal herbs.
I am only responsible for coordination and record keeping."
When Xie Wan heard this, she became curious. She didn't know that the second child of Xiao Zhi's family had the ability to identify medicinal herbs.
"Duanduan, go call the second one over so I can test it."
Duanduan ran back to the mouse nest, and after a while, he brought out a little mouse.
This little mouse is snow-white all over, except for two black spots in its eye sockets. At first glance, you'd think it was wearing a pair of glasses.
The little mouse followed behind Duanduan, walking crookedly, and occasionally when he encountered stones on the ground, he didn't know how to dodge.
Duanduan was afraid that he would bump into it, so she put one of her front paws on the little mouse's shoulder and almost helped it to Xie Wan.
"My Queen Mother, my second brother has an eye disease. Please forgive me for my mistake."
Xie Wan looked at the ignorant little mouse on the ground with curiosity.
Is this the second child in Xiaozhi’s family?
This child is usually too quiet and has almost no sense of presence. It seems that Xie Wan noticed it for the first time today.
"Second brother, what happened to your eyes?"
The second son lowered his head and plowed the ground nervously, making a few squeaks that were hard to make out.
Duanduan explained for him: "My second brother loves to study and has damaged his eyes."
Xie Wan felt a little guilty. She didn't even notice that one of her mice had become nearsighted.
However, she had just given these mice marrow cleansing pills, and she didn't expect that the marrow cleansing pills could not cure the mice's myopia.
Xie Wan comforted softly:
“It’s right to love reading, but you still have to pay attention to protecting your eyesight.
Second brother, I will go out in a few days and help you get a pair of glasses.
Don't be afraid, tell me, do you know all the herbs in the medicine field?"
When the second child heard Xie Wan say that he wanted to buy glasses for him, he looked up with confused little eyes and said "hmm" politely, as if he had many words of gratitude stuck in his heart and he didn't know how to express them.
Xie Wan tested the second brother's knowledge and found that this little mouse not only knew those herbs, but also knew their properties by heart.
"Where did you learn this?"
"I...I learned it from reading in the Queen Mother's study."
There were indeed many medical books in Xie Wan's study. She had previously thought that these rats only knew how to read storybooks, but she didn't expect that one of them actually loved to read medical books.
"Very good, from now on the medicinal fields in the space will be under your management."
The second prince looked at the eldest prince timidly.
Duandian nodded, afraid that the second child couldn't see clearly, so he moved closer and said to it: "Why don't you thank the Queen Mother quickly."
Only then did the second brother dare to agree. It seemed that this child listened to his eldest brother very much.
"Queen, I…I have a request."
Xie Wan was also a little restrained by this restrained mouse, and said politely: "You can talk as you like."
The second son summoned up his courage and said, "Queen Mother, can I learn how to prepare medicinal herbs from you?
My eldest brother said that the Queen Mother is too busy and those medicinal materials have been piled up in the space for too long. I think after I learn how to prepare them, I can help the Queen Mother with her worries. "
Xie Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, as she was just worrying that she didn't have the energy to cook it.
Just now she was thinking whether she should pack all these medicinal materials and give them to Xu Huairen when she returns to Nancheng next time, and ask him to help prepare them.
Now the second brother wants to learn how to prepare medicinal materials, which Xie Wan is more than happy to do.
But I don’t know if this mouse is so small that it might accidentally fall into the pot and get fried to death?
That night, Xie Wan did not rest, but took his second brother to prepare some medicinal herbs one by one, either by frying, roasting or drying them.
The little mouse was too small to do more than a small amount at a time, but it seemed to enjoy the job.
Xie Wan thought about taking some clay from the space, making a small stove for it, and burning a small pot.
As for other things like pestles, iron pots, guillotines, etc., Xie Wan plans to go out during the day to customize some mini versions for Little Mouse.
He also told Duanduan to take good care of his brother's safety. If it really didn't work, he should let the second brother prepare the medicinal materials while the strong man Lao Wu tied a rope around the second brother's waist, ready to rescue him at any time.
During the process, Xiao Zhi ran over to look several times, but he really couldn't help, so he had to go back to the mouse nest with his front paws on his back in angrily.
In the rat nest, Xiao Zhi took one look at Concubine Xi who was wearing a mini nurse cap, and with lustful eyes he was about to rush up to her and show her affection.
Concubine Xi pushed him away and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do tonight, so you can go to bed."
Xiao Zhi was confused. "You are dressed like this, aren't you here to role-play with me?"
Concubine Xi blushed and spat, "Your Majesty is so frivolous, I am going to check on the cows in the pasture.
There's a cow giving birth tonight, I have to keep an eye on it."
After saying this, Concubine Xi ran away.
Xiao Zhi looked at the empty bedroom and suddenly felt empty, lonely and cold.
Ever since his wife and children had their marrow cleansed again, they seemed to have found their own interests and directions.
His wife became obsessed with delivering cows, his eldest son became the housekeeper of the space, his second son became obsessed with reading medical books, and the younger ones also had their own things to do.
There was no one anymore, hanging around him all day like before.
He used to complain that his wife was too clingy and his son was annoying, but now suddenly no one pays attention to him and Xiao Zhi feels lost again.
"Humph, you must have teamed up to ignore me on purpose!
Do you think I will be afraid of you if you do this?
If you don’t want me here, there is a colorful world outside waiting for me. You will regret it one day..."
Xiao Zhi simply ran to beg Xie Wan to let it go.
“When Yucheng produces beautiful rats, there must be a female rat of extraordinary beauty.
Hehe, when I bring back a beautiful rat from Yucheng, you will regret it!"
Xie Wan didn't know that her rat had gone out to hunt.
She was busy until early morning, and after seeing that the second brother could prepare each medicinal ingredient according to the characteristics of the medicine written in the book, she ran back to Huisui Palace to catch up on her sleep.
After getting enough sleep, I left the space and continued to work.
Along the way, Xie Wan kept thinking that the backtracking function was good, but it was a pity that it consumed too much resentment points.
Every hour of going back in time will cost one thousand points of resentment.
Even though Xie Wan had earned back more than 300,000 points of resentment in Gangcheng, he couldn't afford to spend it like this!
No, we can’t just spend without earning, can we?
