You can spend gold coins to accelerate the ripening of plants, but it's generally unnecessary and a waste of gold coins. Just use fertilizers, pesticides, and growth hormones, and wait for them to ripen naturally.
However, Qiao Lian'er was busy treating Old Madam Chu's eyes, so she accelerated the ripening of this type of herb. After thinking about it, she also accelerated the ripening of a few other herbs that were good for strengthening the body.
A large amount of gold coins were spent, and the herbs on one acre of land grew rapidly, directly shortening the ten-year growth period to half an hour.
Otherwise, it will take several days or even ten days to grow in the space before it can be harvested.
The warehouse contains instructions for using the herbs. Crush them, apply them to your eyes, wrap them with a cloth, and you can eliminate blurred vision and soothe tired nerves.
Qiao Lian'er took out a few plants, first washed the stone mortar in the house, then washed the herbs, and put them into the stone mortar along with the roots to crush them.
She walked into the hall. The Qiao family members, not wanting to disturb Chu's parents and daughter's chatter, had all gone to sleep, leaving only three people inside.
"Lian'er, come here quickly. Grandma wants to chat with you more. I thought you were asleep."
As soon as Madam Chu heard the footsteps, she knew it was Qiao Lian'er.
"Grandma, your eyes are not good. I have prepared some herbs to apply to your eyes so that they can be restored to their sight faster."
"Oh, Lian'er is so thoughtful." Old Madam Chu also applied medicine at home, but there was no medicine that was particularly effective for her eyes. She would have to wait at least two or three months before she could see clearly. She would just consider it as fulfilling her granddaughter's wish.
“Mother, the things Lian’er brought out are all good; they might actually be useful.” Qiao Yunni helped Old Madam Chu up: “Mother, go to sleep; it will be easier to apply the medicine this way.”
The Qiao family had already prepared rooms for the guests. Several of the attendants slept in the back storeroom, which also had bed frames prepared for when there were many people.
After applying medicine to Madam Chu's eyes and sitting by the bedside for a while, the mother and daughter came out.
Grandpa Chu wasn't in a hurry to sleep; he was having tea and chatting with Grandpa Qiao, and laughter could be heard from the tea table from time to time.
"Brother, please don't call me Master Chu anymore. It sounds too formal. Since we both have daughters, why don't we become sworn brothers? That way we can stay in touch more easily in the future. What do you think?"
Old Man Qiao was flattered: "But—"
After all, he's an official; for him to address him as a brother is a bit presumptuous.
Old Master Chu shook his head: "There are no 'buts,' this is my wish, and I hope you can grant it."
Old Man Qiao thought to himself that since the other person didn't care, he didn't need to be persistent either, otherwise he would seem too petty.
Without further hesitation, he readily agreed.
The two men then swore an oath to become sworn brothers before the shrine, vowing to share both good fortune and hardship.
Old Master Chu was about to look for a dagger to cut a drop of blood into the bowl when Old Man Qiao quickly stopped him.
"Brother, the sentiment is enough. There's no need for bloodshed. We don't do that here."
The main problem is that Old Master Chu is too weak, and after such a bumpy journey, he is now getting dizzy and is only keeping going because of his enthusiasm.
After the sworn brotherhood ceremony, Old Man Qiao told Old Master Chu to go to bed quickly.
"No need to rush to get up tomorrow morning. Get plenty of rest and be well-rested before we talk. Leave some hot breakfast for your brothers and sisters."
"Listen to me, brother, I'm feeling sleepy too. Once I'm feeling a bit better, I definitely want to have a drink with you."
Seeing how harmonious and amicable the two were, Qiao Yunni and Qiao Lian'er exchanged a glance and smiled.
In such a situation, recognizing relatives is such a wonderful thing.
Qiao Yunni couldn't sleep, so Qiao Lian'er sat with her under the pavilion.
"Lian'er, should we expand our business to the prefecture level?"
