Chapter 91: First Preparation of Medicinal Materials
It took Lu Xiaoxiao more than two hours to finally dig a basket of dandelions. Because she wanted to practice cooking with dandelions, she had to dig out the roots intact. She couldn't just dig out the leaves like she did with wild vegetables. This invisibly increased the difficulty and workload.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao felt that her hands, feet, waist and whole body were sore that she didn't want to move.
Although she was dirty now, she didn't feel disgusted and just lay down on the kang in the main room.
After resting for a while, she felt less uncomfortable, so she went into the space to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Lu Xiaoxiao felt very hungry. She had consumed too much energy this morning. Although her small body had become much stronger than that of ordinary children due to practice, she was only nine years old and many of her abilities could not be fully utilized due to physical limitations.
After Lu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply, she took out a bowl of carrot and pork ribs soup and a bowl of rice from the warehouse. It seemed that she would need to eat more and supplement more in the future. With enough nutrition, she would definitely grow taller quickly, and then it would be much more convenient to do many things.
After finishing her meal, she left the space. Medicinal materials must be prepared while they are fresh to better preserve their efficacy.
Lu Xiaoxiao moved a small stool to a cool place where the sun couldn't reach her, and poured all the dandelions in the basket onto the ground.
She first picked out the intact and undamaged dandelions, then removed the dirt and dead leaves on the intact dandelions, and finally washed the dandelions gently with water and dried them on a winnowing basket.
These procedures seem simple, but in reality they are no easier than digging dandelions. If an ordinary medicinal material is so difficult to prepare, then the better the medicinal material, the more difficult it must be to prepare. She suddenly wiped away tears of sympathy for the future.
After resting for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao started to deal with the remaining dandelions. This was much simpler to deal with. She cleaned the weeds and dead leaves, put them directly in the basin and started washing. There was no need to be gentle and careful as before, she could just rub them with her hands. In the end they would all be cut and served cold anyway, so there was no need to care about the integrity.
Lu Xiaoxiao sat in the yard, basking in the sun and looking at the dandelions on the winnowing basket. She thought that there would be more and more medicinal herbs to be prepared in the future, and two winnowing baskets for drying them would definitely not be enough. She wondered if the third uncle's family had any ready-made ones. Now it was the busy farming season and she definitely didn't have time to prepare one.
It seems that when everyone gets off work in the evening, they have to go to Uncle San's house. If there are dustpans, they should buy them all. If not, they can reserve them in advance. Uncle San will definitely help her make them as soon as he is free.
Lu Xiaoxiao stayed in the yard basking in the sun for the whole afternoon. It was not until the sun was about to set that she looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o'clock.
She put the herbs into the main room, and thinking that the third uncle was about to finish work, she locked the gate and walked towards his house.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the third uncle's house, she saw that the family had just finished work. The women were talking and cooking, while the men were resting in the yard.
After she greeted the Third Uncle's family, she told them that she wanted to buy winnowing baskets. The Third Uncle asked his eldest son to go into the house and bring out all the finished winnowing baskets.
Lu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied looking at the three large and two small winnowing baskets on the ground, but the quantity was still not enough, so she ordered eight winnowing baskets, five large and three small, and two racks to put the winnowing baskets in from Uncle Zhang. She paid a deposit of five yuan and three yuan for the winnowing baskets, then said goodbye to them and took the winnowing baskets home.
