This method seems quite reliable. When Xu Zijiang returns, we can have him try it out for everyone. These things shouldn't be too hard to find.
So here comes the question: where did Yu Jiu get this recipe from? At this moment, Yu Jiu even had the urge to confess the existence of her little bowl.
This impulse had been brewing for a while, but in the end, Yu Jiu found an excuse. She thought about it and decided to tell Xu Zijiang about it later.
Xu Zijiang returned in the evening, carrying two tattered books in his hands. He seemed somewhat helpless, not knowing where he had found them.
"There are no books on raising chickens, only books on raising pigs, and I don't know if the knowledge for chickens and pigs is applicable."
Xu Zijiang didn't dare to just prepare the medicine and let everyone feed it to the chickens, because if they ate it and died, the responsibility would fall on him.
"Don't bother, I've found a way. Take a look at this prescription, it's for treating chicken plague. I think it's quite effective. If you're worried, take the prescription to a doctor first. At least the doctor should be able to tell whether eating these things will cause any harm to the chickens. As long as there's no harm, we can give it a try."
Yu Jiu handed the prescription directly to Xu Zijiang.
Xu Zijiang looked at the prescription with great astonishment.
"Where did you get the remedy for chicken plague?"
"I found it in a book before. I didn't expect there to be a picture for treating chicken plague. I didn't even notice it if I hadn't looked carefully."
Yu Jiu calmly explained that she had previously taken out several recipes, including those for crab roe pastries and layered red bean cakes, and told Xu Zijiang that she had obtained a book by chance in the past, which contained many lost recipes for delicacies.
Because she was afraid of being discovered, she hurriedly took down all the prescriptions and hid them without carefully looking through them to see what was in them. So today she looked through them carefully and found one for treating chicken plague, which didn't seem too outrageous.
These recipes must have been collected by a collector. Since they are collectors, it's not surprising that they would collect not only food recipes but also medical prescriptions.
"That makes sense."
Xu Zijiang stopped asking where the prescription came from. He looked down at the prescription and saw that it contained only harmless medicinal herbs, so it should be usable. However, he still took it to ask the doctor, just as Yu Jiu had suggested.
The doctor praised the prescription highly upon seeing it, finding it ingenious and suggesting it might be very effective in treating chicken plague. He encouraged Xu Zijiang to give it a try. So Xu Zijiang began collecting medicinal herbs, mixed them with chicken feed according to the prescribed ratio, and then distributed the mixture to each household. He was afraid that people might not be able to mix it properly and end up harming the chickens.
"Captain, will eating these be of any use? If these chickens aren't any better, I'll have to kill them and eat them, so they don't die and go to waste."
The other teams have already lost so many chickens, their team must have learned some lessons. They ate the chickens when they were half dead, and still managed to have a full meal. Xu Zijiang looked at them sternly.
"I've already said that even if the chicken isn't dead, you can't eat it. It's already a sick chicken. Aren't you afraid of health problems if you eat it? You'll end up spending even more money at the hospital. Don't lose the big picture for a small gain."
"If a sick chicken dies, it dies. Don't let a sick chicken harm you. Hospitals are so expensive; a single visit costs several dollars, and that's just for a minor cold. If it's an infectious disease, it'll easily cost tens or hundreds of dollars, and there's no guarantee it will be cured. Think about it carefully."
Xu Zi threatened everyone, and after some consideration, they gave up the idea of eating the sick chickens. However, they still felt it was a pity, so they could only pray that the chickens would get better after eating chicken feed.
The chickens were fed medicated feed three times a day. On the first day, it was fine, and no effect was observed. But when everyone got up early on the second day to feed the chickens, they found that the sickly chickens had suddenly perked up and were much more energetic than before. Everyone was overjoyed and quickly fed them even more medicated chicken feed.
Everyone spread the word, insisting that they keep feeding the chickens this, and the chickens would definitely get better!
Sure enough, the medicine cured them in just three days. Almost all the sick chickens were back to their energetic selves and could crow loudly again. Only a few were too sick to be cured and died the next day.
Even so, it was a remarkable turn of events. Their team didn't lose many chickens at all, which was far better than other teams.
"Captain is amazing! Captain, you truly deserve to be called captain! Captain, you are our god! We will only ever recognize you as our captain!"
"That's right, Captain! Captain! Captain!"
Everyone was excited. They raised their hands and cheered, repeatedly calling out the name of their captain. They even tried to toss Xu Zijiang up, but he retreated and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop shouting.
"Stop for a moment and listen to me. This recipe was actually contributed by my wife, Yu Jiu. Everyone should thank my wife. It was she who selflessly contributed this recipe, which saved everyone's chickens."
This recipe could definitely fetch a lot of money if sold, as everyone knows. Therefore, we must show even more respect to Yu Jiu in the future, not just because she's my wife, but because of her enormous contributions to our team. She truly deserves everyone's respect.
Xu Zijiang said firmly that he would not take credit for himself, but instead pushed Yu Jiu forward, and all the glory should fall on his wife.
Yu Jiu didn't expect Xu Zi to say that. After all, her things were his too, and she didn't care about reputation as long as she had money.
"I never expected that the prescription was suggested by Yu Zhiqing. Yu Zhiqing is such a kind person. Without her, our team would have been completely wiped out. How about this, I suggest we hold a thank-you party to express our gratitude to Yu Zhiqing? We can present her with flowers and gifts, anything is fine!"
Everyone was so excited. They never expected that Yu Jiu, a young girl from the city, could bring out such good things for the farmers. Their excitement was beyond words, and they just wanted to hold a thank-you meeting to commend her.
Yu Jiu shook his head in horror.
"No, no, no need. I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I'm now part of the Beitang team. I just happened to have this prescription, so I took it out. I'm happy to be able to help everyone, but that's all."
There's a thank-you party to attend, and I have to accept all sorts of flattery, flowers, and gifts. Just thinking about it makes me so embarrassed! Yu Jiu is about to dig a hole in the ground under her toes.
Seeing that Yu Jiu genuinely disliked this part of the conversation, Xu Zi chuckled quietly before stepping in to defuse the situation.
"Now is not the time to express our gratitude. If you are really grateful to Yu Jiu, how about this: you make a quilt for my wife and child, so that we don't have to go door to door asking for it."
