After Tian Cai gave Zhuang Shuqin the third injection, she never went to the county again. It was the busy farming season now, and it was not easy for her to spare three days to go there.
That day, Commander Yu asked her for a large jar of prepared wound medicine and left. Mr. Qian said that he was busy.
If the military wants to introduce a new drug, it is not something that can be done with just a few words; there are many complications involved.
Tian Cai was not worried at all. Since the money had already been given away, what happened next had nothing to do with her. She continued to work in the fields in the village peacefully.
She was very busy during this period. She had to work in the fields with the team during the day, and take care of the vegetable garden at home after work at night. If Mimi hadn't brought her prey occasionally, Tian Cai felt that she would lose several pounds from exhaustion.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said towards the Qinling Mountains on the other side, "Just plant these. I can't eat too much if I grow too much!"
Qin Ling straightened up and looked around. After making sure that everything was planted, he nodded and walked towards the end of the field.
Tian Cai replanned the vegetable garden at home this year. It is no longer as messy as before with rows here and there.
This year she continued to plant two rows of beans near the fence, and then erected tall bean racks to ensure that they could not be seen from the outside.
The most important thing is that it is much more convenient to pick beans this way. You no longer have to crawl into the bean rack. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but every time Tian Cai goes in to pick beans, the leaves brush against her neck or cheeks, making her feel itchy.
She divided the middle part into six pieces, leaving a path about 30 centimeters wide between each piece of land. Qinling also helped to pave the path with some stones, so that even if it rained, people would not get their feet dirty when picking vegetables in the vegetable garden. It was clean and convenient.
Cai planned to plant cucumbers on the first piece of land. These cucumbers can be eaten raw, mixed with cold dishes, or stir-fried. You can just go into the vegetable garden, pick one, wash it, and eat it. So Tian Cai chose the largest piece of land to plant cucumbers.
In the second, larger piece of land, she planted tomatoes, which can be eaten as fruit or as vegetables.
The third field was used to grow two kinds of vegetables, eggplant and pepper.
The fourth and fifth pieces are next to each other, and they are all some green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, leeks, bok choy, garlic, shallots and the like. Fortunately, leeks only need to be planted for one year, and you don’t need to take care of them every year after that, they will grow by themselves.
Cai threw a few pumpkin seeds given by Aunt Du into the last piece of field. She also planned to go to the village to ask if anyone was growing cantaloupe or watermelon. If so, she would get some seeds and plant them there.
In this way, we can basically eat melons as much as we want this year. In addition to the wild jujubes, pears, and hawthorns that we brought down from the mountains before, we have quite a lot of fruits.
Tian Cai's vegetable garden is very large. After planning it this way, she only occupied two-thirds of the space, and the remaining land near the back of the house was temporarily empty.
She would go up the mountain again when she had time after a while. She remembered that she had seen wild grapes in the mountains before. She could dig up two and plant them in the garden. There were also wild strawberries. She could dig up some and plant them herself. She could pick them whenever she wanted to eat them in the future.
She had eaten very little fruit since she came here, most of which were wild fruits from the mountains. Not only were they not as delicious as the cultivated ones, but many of them were also infested with insects.
Qin Ling said hello to Tian Cai, went to the kitchen to scoop a basin of water to wash his hands, and also washed his face and neck. He picked up the coat on the stool and was about to go back.
"Wait a minute," Tian Cai called him, ran over quickly, and stuffed the fat rabbit that Mimi brought back today into his arms, "I'll take it back for you to eat."
The Qinling Mountains refused to surrender.
"It's hot now and I can't keep it. It will go bad if you don't eat it. Besides, I haven't finished eating that big guy from two days ago. It has been bringing it back every day recently, and I really can't finish it." Tian Caike was not lying at all about this. The little guy is now one year old and very human.
Moreover, its hunting ability is getting stronger and stronger, which can be seen from the fact that the prey it brings back is getting bigger and bigger.
A few days ago, Mimi quietly brought back a half-grown wild boar. Such wild boars must live with the tribe. I don’t know how the little guy got the pig.
Tian Cai did not dare to alarm the villagers, so he could only chopped the wild boar into eight pieces by himself, and got a lot of it on his body and face.
Qin Ling came over and was shocked to see Tian Cai covered in blood. He was relieved when he realized that she was slaughtering a pig and went forward to replace her.
The meat of piglets is much more delicious than that of adult wild boars. It does not have the fishy smell of adult wild boars and is more tender.
Tian Cai made the fat into oil residue according to the method taught by Aunt Qu, and also harvested a small jar of animal oil. She spent two days roasting the lean meat into jerky for easy storage.
Speaking of the big guy, Qin Ling also remembered the wild boar a few days ago, and could only carry the fat rabbit away with a complicated expression.
What should I do? I am not as capable as a mountain cat. I feel like I am useless.
…
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted first, followed by soybeans and rice, followed by corn, peanuts and soybeans. There is really no time to rest in spring.
In mid-May, the old Chinese doctor that Tian Cai had been thinking about was finally sent over.
Commander Yu did not delay at all and sent the person to Kaoshan Village immediately. He came with Secretary Feng of the commune. The two of them first held a small meeting with Li Tiegang and Zhang Defa. Tian Cai didn't know what they talked about, but anyway, the old Chinese doctor stayed in the village temporarily.
The old Chinese doctor that Tian Cai had been waiting for for a long time was named Jiang. He had gray hair and a kind look. He looked at Tian Cai as if he were looking at a gold nugget!
The Jiang family's ancestors started out as doctors, and the one with the highest achievements even worked in the Imperial Hospital at that time. This has always been something the Jiang family is proud of, but now it is their death warrant.
Old Mr. Jiang asked a few old friends to help with the operation, and also used his own unique skills. He finally succeeded in getting promoted and became the health doctor for some senior leaders.
They had only been at peace for half a year when they were sent down because of the golden wound medicine that Tian Cai had made.
At first, Mr. Jiang’s son was very reluctant, thinking that all his previous efforts were in vain. But after all, Mr. Jiang was already quite old, and naturally thought much more than his juniors, so he was very happy.
This matter is almost certain to succeed. They have helped to test the medicinal powder handed over, and the effect is indeed good. A few old guys got together and after several days of research, they roughly figured out the medicinal materials used in the prescription. Even he had to admire the wonderful combination of medicinal materials.
Commander Yu was also very cunning. In order to get an old Chinese doctor, he did not hand over the prescription directly. He just said that he would teach it only when Tian Cai wanted someone to come over. He took great pains to meet Tian Cai's requirements.
Old Master Jiang was sent down just like that.
Since Tian Cai had already given away the recipe for the golden wound medicine, he naturally would not keep the method of preparing the medicine to himself. He came over on his own initiative the day after Mr. Jiang stayed there.
