Chapter 619 Processing
"Dear ladies, these are the herbs I just dug up. Please clean them and classify each one. If you don't know which ones you like, you can ask Zhu Jianguo. Please be careful when cleaning..."
With the help of the aunts and grandmas, Zhou Ziwen has time to deal with other things.
There are quite a few people staying in the clinic at this time, especially those from other villages who have colds and fevers.
Wu Dagang went to the production team to make a broadcast, asking all the adults and children in the village to come and take medicine, to treat illnesses if they had them, and to prevent illnesses if they didn't.
Zhou Ziwen came to the captain.
"Uncle Zhou, yesterday's heavy rain got a lot of people wet. If so many people caught a cold at the same time, it could trigger viral influenza. This is a serious problem."
"Yeah, the rain yesterday came too quickly, without any warning at all."
Seeing so many people catching a cold at the same time, the team leader was a little anxious.
"I've already made an appointment with Uncle Wu to have those villagers who don't have a cold come over and drink the medicine. There's only one big pot here, and I'm going to fill it with two more so that everyone in the village can drink the medicine together to prevent those who don't have a cold from getting infected."
"Well, you've really thought it through, Ziwen. I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
The captain looked at Zhou Ziwen with appreciation.
"No trouble, I just want to ask, what about the people in other villages?"
"I just looked and saw that many people from other villages have also come, including Xiaobazi Village, Niushan Village, and Zhaoshan Village."
Zhou Ziwen just asked around, and everyone with a cold or fever from several nearby villages has come.
"What do you mean?"
The captain looked at Zhou Ziwen, not understanding what he was thinking.
"I think other villages need to take this seriously, otherwise more people will catch colds."
Zhou Ziwen began to explain.
"Okay, then I'll send someone over to inform them."
Hearing this, the captain also took it seriously.
This cold is indeed a bit serious. Since Zhou Ziwen has a way to prevent it, let's prevent it to the end and let several other villages participate.
…
"Hey, hey! Members of Dabazi Village, please pay attention. I have an important announcement. Yesterday, a large number of people with colds and fevers appeared in Dabazi Village. Now, everyone in Dabazi Village, please gather at the village clinic. Regardless of whether you are sick or not, please go and drink a bowl of medicine. This medicine can prevent colds. Please pay attention..."
At this time, Wu Dagang's voice came from the production team's radio.
He repeated it three times in a row so that the whole village could hear it.
…
When they heard that they might also be infected, they couldn't sit still anymore.
Some of them didn't even make lunch. They put down their spatulas and ran to the health center, fearing that if they were too slow, the medicine would be finished by others.
If you look down from Dabazi Village, you can see that the entire village is gathering towards the clinic like ants returning home.
Under the arrangement of the team leader and Wu Dagang, several large pots were set up outside the clinic.
The big pot contained herbs that Zhou Ziwen had just dug from the mountains. The strong medicinal aroma emanated from it, making the people around him feel much more energetic.
Those who arrived early took the medicine and went home, but there were still many people who didn’t get to drink it.
After Zhou Ziwen boiled the medicine he had dug up from the mountain, the villagers lined up at the door of the clinic with their bowls to receive the medicine.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen didn't need to worry about these things. After he prepared the herbs, he could relax. As for boiling and distributing the medicine, it was the responsibility of the people arranged by Wu Dagang.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Zhou Ziwen didn't stay any longer. He said hello to Wu Dagang and went home.
He still has to go to the mountains in the afternoon, so he doesn't need to worry about the things at the clinic.
Anyway, everyone's situation is the same, he has prepared the medicinal ingredients, and one bowl is enough for each person.
When he returned home, the two sisters had already prepared dinner. When he came back, they hurriedly served the dishes to the table and waited for him to wash his hands and eat.
"Brother Ziwen, Zhou Chaoyang just helped us prepare the roe deer. Sister gave them a piece of meat. We will have roe deer meat for lunch."
After Zhou Ziwen washed his hands and returned to the dining table, Chen Qiaoyi spoke.
"Hey, this kid can peel skin now? Did he break it?"
Zhou Ziwen asked in surprise.
"Hehe, it's not damaged, I just didn't peel it cleanly enough. There's still a lot of meat on the roe deer skin!"
Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Haha, I knew it."
Zhou Ziwen nodded with amusement.
It is actually not difficult to deal with roe deer. It just requires a little courage and overcoming psychological factors.
Zhou Chaoyang is quite brave, so he has no problem dissecting a silly roe deer.
"Ziwen, have you finished dealing with the issues at the clinic? I heard a lot of people have caught colds."
While eating, Chen Shiying asked with concern.
"There's nothing going on over there, but I have to go back into the mountains this afternoon. There are quite a few sick people this time, and we're running low on medicine."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
"Are we still going into the mountains?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
When Zhou Ziwen came back just now, she saw that several sacks were full.
It turned out that all these herbs were not enough.
"It's definitely not enough. There are more than a thousand people in our village alone, and there are also several villages next door, so there are two to three thousand people in total."
"The herbs I brought back are only enough for today."
Zhou Ziwen began to explain.
In fact, he suspected that if everyone from other villages came, the few herbs he brought back might not be enough.
But since it is herbal medicine, it will still be effective if you boil it for a longer time.
"Oh, does Brother Ziwen need to dig a lot more herbs?"
Chen Qiaoyi asked with concern.
"Well, I guess we'll have to go up the mountain in the next two days."
Zhou Ziwen recalled the lively scene in the clinic and nodded involuntarily.
Although his medical skills are good, he cannot cure the cold and fever in one day, so a large amount of Chinese medicine for treating the cold will have to be used in the next few days.
As the village health worker, he gets full work points every day, so he certainly can't let the production team buy it outside!
If they really needed to spend money on medicine, the villagers probably wouldn't be willing to seek treatment.
They would rather endure than spend money.
So Zhou Ziwen decided to work harder and go to the mountain to dig it himself.
…
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a short nap.
He got up in the middle of the night yesterday and has been busy ever since, so he hasn't had much rest.
After waking up, Zhou Ziwen got up, washed his face, and then rushed to the mountain with his equipment.
With him was Tayun.
Zhou Ziwen had no time to hunt, so he placed his hopes on Tayun.
If you are lucky, you might be able to catch some wild game.
When he arrived in the mountains, Zhou Ziwen started to get busy.
…
Here, while Zhou Ziwen was busy, several other production team leaders also came over.
"Old Zhou, what's going on? I heard this cold is contagious?"
Niu Jiefang found Zhou Weiguo and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, Ziwen has checked it out. He said this cold is a viral cold and is easily contagious."
Captain Zhou Weiguo nodded in response.
"What should we do then?"
Li Fugui, the team leader of Xiaobazi Village, asked hurriedly.
"Take medicine! What else can you do?"
The captain glanced at him unhappily.
