After Zhang Baocai left, Tian Cai thought that it was no use leaving that thing behind, so she simply stood up and took a medical book to look for it. She remembered that she had seen the preparation method of this thing somewhere before.
It seems there is more than one kind.
After reading the medical book, Tian Cai got two pieces of gauze and stuffed his nostrils tightly with them. Then he washed the deer whip with water, cleaned it, removed the fascia on it, and then dried and sliced it.
It is not like what the villagers say that the whole root is dried and then used to make wine. Some even say that the fresh root is used to make wine directly.
Even through the gauze, Tian Cai could smell the fishy odor. He really didn't know what the fresh deer penis would taste like if soaked in wine, and how he could drink it.
Sure enough, men can swallow anything for that matter.
Tian Cai washed them five times before she felt that the fishy smell had dissipated a lot. She tied the three pieces of cloth with ropes and hung them in the bamboo shed where firewood was stored.
Hang it here to air first, and then find a way to dry it tomorrow.
Now I start to regret why I took this job?
If I don’t use it to make a fortune, I will feel sorry for the suffering I have endured today.
Tian Cai pulled the gauze out of her nostrils. She felt that the room was filled with that smell. She opened the doors and windows to ventilate the room, and found some mugwort leaves to fumigate the room. Only before going to bed did the smell disappear.
When she finished washing up and was about to go to bed, Mimi came back with a cold body.
As soon as it entered the house, it kept sniffing, not knowing if there was any residual smell. It sniffed in the house for a long time before jumping onto the kang and lying down next to Tian Cai.
Tian Cai smoothed the fur on its head and neck. After just a few strokes, the little guy couldn't help but make a purring sound and scratched the quilt with his claws.
The purring sound made by a lynx when kneading milk is definitely several times louder than that of a kitten, comparable to a Ferrari parked next to it.
But the little guy won't step on it for long, Tian Cai just needs to cooperate and stroke its fur, and it will stop by itself after a while.
I don’t know if it’s because it drinks dew every day, but it hardly sheds hair. Of course, Tian Cai himself rarely loses hair either.
A sleepless night.
The next day, Tian Cai went to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction, and then went to the purchasing station in the county.
When she arrived, she saw that the previously tidy lobby was in a mess. Several winnowing baskets used for drying medicinal herbs were knocked over, and two of them were stepped on and broken. They were all thrown on the ground with no one to clean them up.
Tian Cai frowned. She stood in the middle of the lobby for a while, and then she walked over when she heard a sound coming from the room inside.
"Third Brother Liang!"
Liang Yushan leaned against the wall, coughing violently, his arms hanging unnaturally.
He saw Tian Cai coming and took a deep breath, "Want to sell wild animals?"
Tian Cai shook his head and said, "I'm here to buy medicinal herbs for the team, but our team can come over to sell some game today."
"Selling it in the team? Looks like they've fought a lot!" Liang Yushan said as he rubbed his lower back and stood up. "Send it over if you have any. I can eat as much as you want."
"...outside?" Tian Cai asked hesitantly.
Liang Yushan waved his hand, not daring to move his other arm. "These are all trivial matters. I've been in the county for so many years. They only dared to kick me a few times to show off their power, but they didn't dare to do more than that."
Liang Yushan's ancestors were medicine merchants. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, his family donated all their ancestral properties, leaving only a small yard for people to live in. Later, the country did not let him sit idle, and arranged for him to be in charge of the work at the purchasing station. He was responsible for the purchase and sale of some Chinese medicinal materials.
After all, Liang Yushan has lived in Huangxian for so many years and has a few acquaintances everywhere. He also works part-time purchasing some wild game and reselling it to state-owned restaurants or some collectives. For example, occasionally the machinery factory will purchase things at the purchasing station in the name of the unit.
Qin Ling used to go up the mountain to hunt game and sell it. As time went by, the two became familiar with each other. Over the years, they have developed a close friendship.
Later, Qin Ling introduced Tian Cai to Liang Yushan. Although the two had not worked together many times, it could be seen that he was a very cheerful person.
Tian Cai looked around, "Where's the young man who was here before?"
"He went to buy medicine for me. This arm might be twisted, and I'm a little afraid to move it." Liang Yushan pointed to the other hand hanging by the side.
Tian Cai didn't think he was screwed. "Let me show you?"
Liang Yushan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Oh, why did I forget? Since you can buy medicinal herbs on behalf of the team, you must be a doctor! Then please help me take a look."
Tian Cai asked him to take off his coat for inspection and found that his elbow joint was obviously swollen. She raised her arm and moved it gently. "Does it hurt?"
“Hiss—”
Okay, no need to explain. Tian Cai understood it immediately. She felt around on her arm for a few times and said, "It must be dislocated."
"I was wondering why you couldn't lift it—" Before he could finish his words, he heard a "click".
"Okay," Tian Cai put his arm down, "Try to move it."
Liang Yushan moved his arm carefully, "Eh? Doesn't it hurt anymore?"
He slowly increased his movements. Aside from a slight soreness in his arm, his movements were not affected at all. He happily praised, "Not bad, the little girl has some skills!"
Tian Cai smiled and accepted his compliment.
Liang Yushan put his coat back on, swung his arms as he walked towards the counter, and joked, "I was thinking of letting you pack the herbs yourself, but after you treated me like this, I can't be lazy anymore!"
Tian Cai refused, "You have to be the host, otherwise I won't be able to find the herbs, and who knows how long it will take!"
"You're in this line of work, and you can smell it!"
As Liang Yushan spoke, his hands moved quickly, and soon he had packed all the necessary medicinal materials according to Tian Cai's list.
"Okay, it's all installed."
After seeing him finish calculating the money, Tian Cai signed his name on the bill. Then he waited for him to stamp it before taking it, folding it carefully and putting it in his pocket. He had to settle the payment with the team later.
"Don't exert too much force on your arms recently. You still need to take good care of them for a while." Tian Cai put all the herbs into the bamboo basket and couldn't help but remind him before leaving.
"I know," Liang Yushan said with a smile, "Thank you, big sister."
He waited until Tian Cai left before he put away the smile on his face, sighed deeply, bent down to pick up the broken dustpan on the ground and put it aside, then found a complete one and took it over, squatted down to pick up the medicinal herbs on the ground, muttering, "What a sin! I don't believe in the things of my ancestors anymore, but I believe in those foreigners' stuff..."
When Tian Cai was driving back to the commune, he happened to see the team's tractor pulling a load of wild animals towards the county. Accountant Li and Zhang Defa were following them, and the things in the truck bed were all covered with straw mats.
