Everyone was wondering why he didn't bring anything.
Lin Qingqing stood at the door and said loudly: "Now start the roll call. Sisters-in-law who are here will respond. Those who are not here will automatically cancel their registration."
Yesterday, sister-in-law Xiuhong called out 7:30 so many times because she had considered the sisters-in-law. 7:30 is usually breakfast time, and it is enough time for them to do laundry or put the children to bed after breakfast.
"Sister-in-law Zheng Xuanli."
"exist!"
"Sister-in-law Zhou Fanglong."
“Here it comes!”
“…”
Seven sisters-in-law did not respond. Two of them were there when roll call was called, so they still counted. Lin Qingqing simply crossed out the names of the other five.
After calling the roll, she led the eighty sisters-in-law up the mountain. They didn't know the properties of the herbs, so they just had to follow Lin Qingqing up the mountain to see how she picked them. If they could recognize the herbs, the first step would be successful.
Eighty people would make too much noise going up the mountain, so Lin Qingqing divided them into four groups. Lin Qingqing led the first group up the mountain by herself. After walking for seven or eight minutes, they found a place with lush vegetation. The three herbs, Artemisia annua, Ajuga scabra, and Schizonepeta tenuifolia, were everywhere on the mountain and were easy to find.
Lin Qingqing asked twenty sisters-in-law to surround her and watch how she collected herbs.
"This is called tendon grass. You pull the whole plant out of the ground, just like pulling a radish. You pinch the roots and pull it out. If it breaks, don't throw it away. The stem is still useful."
"This is called white wormwood, and it also needs to be grown as a whole plant."
"This is called Nepeta tenuifolia. Just cut off the stem from the root upwards..."
Lin Qingqing's explanation was easy to understand, and the sisters-in-law listened attentively, watching without blinking, and some even brought small notebooks to take notes.
As she spoke, she demonstrated how to collect herbs. After demonstrating twice, she let the sisters-in-law try it one by one.
It is not difficult to learn only three kinds of herbs, and my sisters-in-law have many years of experience in labor, so they can pick them at a glance.
Lin Qingqing asked twenty sisters-in-law to practice on the nearby mountains with the herbs they had collected, and then called the second group to come up.
Four groups of people took turns learning, and by around 11 o'clock, more than 80 people had finished teaching.
Before returning to the compound, Lin Qingqing called everyone together to discuss the subsequent arrangements.
"Sisters-in-law, tomorrow afternoon and all day are for practice. The day after tomorrow morning at 7:30, gather under the pine trees in the courtyard. Submit at least 20 herbs of each of the three types for inspection. Those who pass will proceed to the final step of herbal preparation."
As soon as the words fell, the eloquent sister-in-law took the lead and shouted.
"Sister-in-law Qingqing, thank you for your hard work today."
"Come to my house for lunch at noon."
"Come to my house for dinner tonight."
The sisters-in-law learned from Aunt Wang that Lin Qingqing taught them how to identify and prepare herbs without asking for a penny, and that she taught them sincerely. They were all sincerely grateful to Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing declined the invitations from the sisters-in-law with a smile and waved her hand for them to go down the mountain.
The sisters-in-law happily came down the mountain with the three herbs they had picked. They surrounded Lin Qingqing and asked her about the selling price of the herbs.
Lin Qingqing didn't reveal anything, just said that we would know the day after tomorrow, and asked the sisters-in-law to concentrate on practicing collecting herbs.
(Recently, not many people have read it, and I feel anxious. I beg for your love and support. The pace will be faster later.)
