Chapter 121 Drying Herbs



"Yes, I also feel that I am very blessed. I think these five children are treasures given to me by God."

Su Miaomiao walked up to them and said.

"Stop working, go back to the house and rest for a while. I can do the rest of the work myself."

The children always felt that they were a burden and a drag on their father and mother, but they never expected that their mother would actually say that they were a blessing and a treasure given by God.

At this time, the children's eyes were filled with tears after hearing these words, and they were very moved.

They don’t know how to repay their parents, so they can only work harder to please their parents and make them happy.

The five children shook their heads in unison.

"No, we won't rest. We will help mother with more work."

"Yes, we need to work harder. Mom is tired. Let her rest for a while."

"Mom, go and have a rest. Leave these to us."

"There are many of us, and we'll be done in no time. Don't worry about us, Mom."

"Mom, when we grow up, we will definitely be filial to you and dad, and let them enjoy the happiness with us."

The children spoke so seriously that Su Miaomiao was moved.

There wasn't much work left anyway, and since the children wanted to help so much, she didn't want to spoil their fun.

Work happens faster when there are more people involved. In less than five minutes, they had piled up the remaining grass.

The yard suddenly became much cleaner.

Su Miaomiao looked at the flat and clean yard, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

It feels so good to be a family with one mind and one effort, watching life get better little by little.

The sun was too strong at this moment, so after cleaning the yard, Su Miaomiao quickly called Zhang Xing and the children into the house to rest.

The children all went to their rooms to rest.

Su Miaomiao found that Zhang Xing came out soon after returning to his room, still holding the kang mat in his arms.

What is Zhang Xing trying to do?

Su Miaomiao asked puzzledly.

"What are you doing holding the kang mat?"

"Sister-in-law, I want to clean up the herbs and take them out to dry while the weather is good, otherwise they will get moldy."

It turns out that they wanted to dry the herbs.

I didn’t realize that Zhang Xing was so resourceful and thought of using the kang mat to dry the herbs.

There are too many things missing at home now, and we really can't find anything else to dry the herbs. I should buy Zhang Xing some special tools for drying herbs later.

Su Miaomiao thought so in her heart and nodded.

"Okay, I'll do it with you."

Su Miaomiao looked at the herbs and didn't know where to start, so she humbly asked for advice.

"Zhang Xing, I've never dried herbs before. Please teach me how to do it later. Otherwise, I don't know what to do."

"Okay, no problem. Sister-in-law, wait for me a moment. I'll spread the kang mat outside first and tell you how to do it as soon as I come back."

After Zhang Xing went out, he looked around and thought it would be better to put it under the window to dry.

He only remembered to ask when he was making the bed, and shouted into the house at the top of his lungs.

"Sister-in-law, is it okay to leave this kang mat in the sun? It won't get damaged, right?"

"Don't worry, I can't."

"Oh, that's fine."

Zhang Xing spread the kang mat as quickly as possible and then hurried back to the house.

He squatted on the ground and sighed.

"This kang mat is so good, I'm really reluctant to give it away. It would be great if I had something else to dry the herbs on."

Su Miaomiao couldn't help but tease when she saw this.

"I'm reluctant to let you use it."

"Because I have to dry the herbs. There are many herbs here that need to be dried. Herbs are so precious. They can cure diseases and save lives. No matter what, I can't let them go to waste."

Zhang Xing spoke from the heart.

Su Miaomiao could see that in Zhang Xing's mind, nothing was more important than herbs, and nothing was more important than curing diseases and saving lives.

Such a good doctor should be respected by the world.

Su Miaomiao stopped teasing him and spoke seriously.

"Your eldest brother and I are going to town to sell bracken tonight. If you see anything that can be used to dry herbs, buy it."

Are my brother and sister-in-law going to town tonight?

He also wanted to go, but if he went late at night, the children would be left unattended and no one would be at home, so he decided not to go.

Zhang Xing thought so and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, brother and sister-in-law. A winnowing basket or a clean wooden board can be used to dry the herbs, but a winnowing basket is best because it allows for good ventilation and dries quickly."

Su Miaomiao listened carefully and nodded.

"knew."

Su Miaomiao saw Zhang Xing still squatting beside her, not knowing what he was thinking about, and was reluctant to teach her how to dry the medicine, so she couldn't help but remind him.

"Zhang Xing, please teach me how to dry the medicine. Let's dry it while the weather is good."

"Oh, right." Zhang Xing came back to his senses and picked up a piece of herb. "Let's remove the dirt first and clean it up. Then remove the dried leaves, the diseased leaves, and the incomplete leaves. Then, put the herbs together and take them out to dry in the sun."

He paused and continued.

"After drying, different herbs require different processing methods. Some need to be fried, some need to be steamed, some need to be roasted, and some need to be cut into pieces. Different herbs also need to be preserved in different ways. These are quite complicated, so I can do it myself when the time comes."

Processing herbs is very complicated, and Zhang Xing only gave a brief explanation.

He is professional, serious and meticulous in handling herbs.

He knew very well that Su Miaomiao could only help him with some basic work, so he had to do the complicated steps himself.

Even if others are willing to help, he wouldn't dare use it lightly, because herbs might change their efficacy or reduce their toxicity if not handled properly, and this is not something to be joked about.
