Chapter 222 Mosquito Repellent Herbal Bag
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Yuansheng suddenly became curious, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Doctor Wei: "Master, tell me about it too."
"I mean, the shopkeeper just now is not as tight as you think. He lives a tight life." Doctor Wei said with a smile: "Those who come to our shop to buy the mosquito repellent herbal bags can either buy our prepared ones directly. If they think it is too expensive, they can just put down the herbal bags."
"It was Shopkeeper Zhuang who bought mugwort, calamus and mint. These things, anyone with a little bit of a heart would find a piece of land and plant them. Few people would spend money to buy them. Shopkeeper Zhuang was willing to spend money to buy them, so he didn't think it was troublesome to plant them himself and dry them."
"Master, do you mean that the owner of this farm is not short of money?" Yuansheng scratched his ear. "But if he is not short of money, then the price of our herbal bags is fair. Just buy a few. Why buy only these few items?"
And having said all that, try to save as much words as possible.
No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like someone with a lot of money.
"This..." Doctor Wei coughed lightly: "I still don't understand it now, but I just think it's unusual. Maybe it has its own uses that we can't guess."
"Okay..."
After talking for a long time, Yuansheng still didn't understand. He felt like he was gasping for breath and thought he was being fooled by his master. He just pouted and went back to work.
Doctor Wei shook his head and smiled, then continued to write the prescription. ——Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui bought the herbs, followed Zhuang Sifu's ox cart back home, and began to prepare the herbal bag.
They are all in a one-to-one ratio, and the secret mosquito repellent powder provided by the system only needs to be mixed into each portion in a small amount each time.
The originally light yellow powder disappeared a moment after being sprinkled on the dry herbs.
It is probably soaked directly into the herb to prevent it from falling into the hands of others and being taken for research and production.
This is good, it keeps confidentiality very well.
"This smells really good." Zhuang Qingsui sniffed the small packages of herbs and smacked his lips. "The smell of mugwort is not too strong, with a faint scent like the fragrance of flowers, and it smells a bit sweet. Anyway, it smells pretty good."
"It smells good, but the main thing is to see how it works tonight." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "Once I have prepared this, I will send some to my aunt's house later."
"I remember that a piece of brown cloth was bought a few days ago. Please bring it to me. I will give it to Aunt and ask her to help sew a few bags. I am afraid these bags are not enough."
"Yes." Zhuang Qingsui went into the house and took the cloth, and gave it to Zhuang Qingsui: "Then I'll clean up and prepare dinner now. The crispy pork my sister made last time tasted very good. We also bought some meat today. I'll cut it for you?"
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning had also prepared the herbs. He took the large bag of herbs and cloth wrapped in oil paper and went to Zhuang Yonghe and He's house.
When they got there, Zhuang Qingning explained their purpose and asked He to help sew some cloth bags. Once the bags were ready, they would put the prepared herbs in them, keeping some for their family and some for her.
"It's easy to make this cloth bag. It doesn't take much stitches. The autumn planting hasn't started yet and I'm not busy. I can make a lot for you in one day." He said, "When this herbal bag is done, don't keep it at home. It's very expensive. If you have mugwort leaves at home, just put some in the house."
He had seen the mosquito repellent herbal bags sold in the drugstore before. A small bag would cost several cents. Although Zhuang Qingning's purchase of herbs did not come with the cloth bag, it was still not cheap. He believed that her family had benefited a lot from Zhuang Qingning, so she should not be greedy and accept Zhuang Qingning's things all day long.
"Don't be polite, Auntie. I bought the herbs in this herbal bag from the pharmacy and made them myself. They are not worth much." Zhuang Qingning said, "I asked Auntie to keep some at home so that she can help me see if what I made is effective. If it is, I am thinking about whether I can sell it for some money."
"If Auntie doesn't help me try it, how can I know if this thing is useful and if the recipe works?"
"If you say so..." He hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "It's fine if I can help you. I'll listen to you."
"Since you want to sell this herbal bag for money, I won't delay any longer. I'll use the scissors to cut the pattern and start making it."
"Is it this big?" He gestured roughly, and it was roughly the size of an adult's outstretched palm.
"It's about the right size. If it's too big or too small, it won't be good. This size should be just right for the room." Zhuang Qingning nodded: "But it's not urgent. Auntie, just focus on your own housework first and do it when you have time."
"I'm not busy these past two days. I haven't started autumn planting yet."
He smiled and said, "It has rained a lot these past two days. The ground is too wet. We need to dry it for two days before we can start autumn planting."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the first task of promoting the new agricultural planting series, the task of promoting the planting of new soybean seeds.]
[The host needs to let the villagers plant the soybean seeds provided by the host. As long as the amount of soybean seeds planted by the villagers in the same village exceeds the soybean planting area last year, the mission will be considered successful. ]
[The seeds are provided by the system, free of charge, and do not consume any diligence points. After the host completes the task, he can obtain the recipe for making rennet tofu, recipe: braised pork head, and unlock the next task in this series of tasks. ]
[This mission is very important to the host. If the host's tofu shop uses new soybean seeds to grow beans, it can increase the volume and enhance the flavor. The yield of soybeans grown from these seeds is higher than that of ordinary soybeans, which can help the villagers increase their income to a certain extent.]
Zhuang Qingning touched his nose.
She understands the truth, but...
Didn't we say before that advanced technological items cannot be traded? Then why can this new type of soybean seeds be promoted in this world? [Friendly reminder, the advanced technological items mentioned before, such as glass, rubber and other items, cannot be traded. This is mainly to prevent some hosts from using their diligence points to exchange for rare items in this world, and then selling them at high prices to get rich as a shortcut.]
[For tasks like this agricultural promotion, first of all, the seeds provided are not too high-tech. As long as the high-quality bean seeds here are selected for hybridization, this effect can be achieved. Secondly, this kind of item requires a lot of labor to obtain, and it does not violate the purpose of the hard work system. ]
