Jiang Yue greeted the protagonist and went inside to take her sister's pulse. After taking her pulse, she wrote a prescription and had someone prepare the medicine. After dismissing the extra people, she began acupuncture to reduce the fever.
Even after the servant handed the prescription to the protagonist, he couldn't understand it. He could only wave his hand and tell someone to brew the medicine. After the medicine was brewed, his high fever subsided. That's how amazing someone is, even more so than the most skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor. No further explanation is needed.
After leaving the tent, Jiang Yue told the protagonist about the patient's condition. The main issue was that the protagonist's sister was too weak. After all, before the protagonist transmigrated, the women, children, and the elderly had lived in very poor conditions. Although the protagonist had consulted a doctor after arriving, how could she recover in less than a year?
After the fever subsided and the person fell asleep, the protagonist came out of the tent, thanked Jiang Yue, and arranged for the other doctors to be sent back. Then, he arranged a place for Jiang Yue to stay, where she would stay with her sister. There was nothing they could do about it, since Jiang Yue was a woman and their only female relative was her sister. They couldn't arrange for Jiang Yue to sleep with servants when she came to see a doctor.
The patient's condition improved significantly the next morning, and Jiang Yue adjusted the prescription so the patient could continue taking the medicine. At this time, the doctor that the protagonist had invited from Chang'an arrived. It was clear that the protagonist was somewhat embarrassed, but Jiang Yue didn't mind his actions. She made an excuse to go out for a stroll and went to find the village chief, telling him to go back first, and that she could walk back on her own later.
After two days, Jiang Yue received twenty taels of silver and a pile of supplies and went home. Since the protagonist was going back to the city, Jiang Yue was taken home by carriage, and the soldiers also helped deliver the supplies. Jiang Yue shared some with the village chief's family. It wasn't just that they gave her a ride; mainly, they had been helping to feed Sanhua these past few days.
After the little incident, Jiang Yue started farming. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to dig for wild vegetables. Only then did Jiang Yue understand why her master stopped farming after cultivating two or three acres. It was because he couldn't work anymore, and he couldn't bring the cattle up there. Before, it was just her and Jiang Yue. In addition, they didn't have to pay taxes. The income from intensive farming and the extra income from treating the sick and performing rituals was enough for the two of them to live on.
At first, Jiang Yue didn't understand and didn't realize that she had used the puppet to open up a few more acres of land. Now, she either had to work hard herself or use the puppet. After thinking about it, she decided to use the puppet to open up the new land. Since the land had already been opened, she couldn't let it go to waste. If she couldn't finish the food, she could use it to help people and do good deeds. It was better than letting it go to waste again.
After handing over the rest of the land to the puppet, Jiang Yue felt much more relaxed. Now she could take some time to dig for wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms.
After digging for half a day, Jiang Yue carried a half-full basket of mountain delicacies back home, greeting the villagers she encountered along the way. Jiang Yue knew all of them, and they knew her too. Seeing that Jiang Yue's basket wasn't full, they wanted to share some of their harvest with her, but Jiang Yue quickly declined, mainly because she had enough to eat, and the puppet had gone deep into the mountains to gather quite a lot.
She deliberately didn't look for too much, because there were only so few things in the easy-to-find places. Since she had a puppet to search in the deep mountains, she didn't have to compete with everyone for food. She came out to search mainly for fun and to pass the time.
After returning to the Taoist temple, I put the wild vegetables in a shady place because I couldn't finish them in one day. In the evening, I made a wild vegetable salad and stir-fried some bamboo shoots, and a delicious meal was ready.
The next day, Jiang Yue didn't go out. She processed the wild vegetables to save for when there were no vegetables in winter. After processing the wild vegetables, she looked at the dried bamboo and planned to use it to weave some racks and winnowing baskets for drying medicinal herbs, as the old ones were a bit old and unstable.
Because Jiang Yue didn't go out today, the elderly folks who hadn't seen her came to the Taoist temple to check on her. They saw her weaving something and wondered if something had happened. They left some wild vegetables and ran away, and Jiang Yue couldn't stop them.
After thanking the elderly couple, Jiang Yue continued to focus on weaving bamboo strips. She had woven two large frames today, but she still had a long way to go before making a winnowing basket. Anyway, there was still plenty of time, so she would take her time.
A few days later, a peddler came to the village. Jiang Yue remembered that her family used to do this kind of business. Most of the things the peddler brought were daily necessities. The rarest thing she had never seen before was snow salt. Ignoring the surprise of the people around her, she bought some daily necessities and went up the mountain.
After placing the salt, Jiang Yue rested on the recliner for a while. The salt purified by the protagonist had already begun to be sold, and the first climax of the plot was about to arrive. Salt is related to the interests of many people. How could they not be furious when the protagonist ruined their livelihood? Of course, those salt merchants would not know that the protagonist had handed over the salt-making method. Li Shimin pushed the protagonist out just to find out how deep the water really was.
Jiang Yue wondered when the iron smelting method would be improved. She wanted to buy an iron pot. Although there were iron pots in those days, they were not the style we were used to in later generations. Moreover, ordinary families could not afford them; only some nobles could afford them. The main reason why there were no iron pots was that the technology was not advanced. The iron produced was not enough to make swords, so how could they use precious iron to make iron pots?
Stir-frying only became popular in the vicinity of Chang'an after the arrival of the main character. Before that, even if it existed, very few people knew about it, since there was little oil in the cookware, which severely limited its use.
Once iron woks become common, Jiang Yue won't have to use them secretly anymore. Unlike now, when she still has to sneak around to cook. Let's take it slow. From another perspective, she won't have to sneak around to cook anymore.
After lying down for a while, I cleared the grass in the yard. After clearing the grass in the yard, I also cleared the grass around the Taoist temple and along the path, otherwise it would easily attract snakes and insects, and it would also affect walking and the appearance.
After cleaning up the area around the Taoist temple, it was getting late. After finishing the evening prayers, it was time to think about what to eat. Since becoming a Taoist priest, she had been eating mostly vegetarian food and hadn't eaten meat at all. Although there was no rule against eating meat in Jiang Yue's sect, before Jiang Yue transmigrated, her master had only made meat for her when she was a child because she was weak and needed to strengthen her body.
After growing up, the original owner of this body rarely ate meat, maybe only once every few years, and that was because she was extremely greedy. As for her master, Jiang Yue didn't remember eating meat much. After Jiang Yue transmigrated, she never ate meat and always ate vegetarian food.
After putting away the kitchen knife and broom, Jiang Yue went to check the room where the grain was stored. She saw that the bamboo shoots on the ground had been there for a few days, and there were still some left, so she decided to make braised bamboo shoots. She chopped them up, blanched them, and started stir-frying vegetables after the rice was cooked. After eating, she put the iron pot away, went out for a walk, and when she saw that it was almost time, she went to bed.
The next morning, she went down the mountain. She had prescribed medicine for a patient earlier and was doing a follow-up visit to see if the patient was better. After the consultation, she was seen off by the patient's family. Jiang Yue stopped in a crowded area. She knew she wouldn't only see one family on her trip down the mountain. As it was getting late and it was about to get dark, Jiang Yue said goodbye and returned to the mountain.
