Chapter 84 Processing Medicinal Materials



It’s a good thing Tong Yiya didn’t hear it, otherwise she would have to go and thank those people in person. The story they spread was really exaggerated.

After those people left, Tong Yiya packed her things and put them back in the room.

Then she began to sort out the medicinal herbs she had dug up today. She planted some of the herbs that could stop bleeding and were easy to grow under the courtyard wall, and also planted some along the path.

Eat the medicinal materials you bring back quickly after planting and processing them, otherwise their medicinal properties will diminish if they are left for too long.

She washed and dried those that could be dried directly and hung them in the yard, and went to the kitchen to steam those that needed to be processed.

After a busy day, all the medicinal materials are hung out to dry. Some of the processed medicinal materials need to be steamed again, but they have to wait until they are dried to a certain degree of dryness before continuing.

No one came to get medicine for the rest of the day, so Tong Yiya placed two large vats in her kitchen. When she came back that day, she only placed one large vat in the yard. However, she would need more water in the future, so she prepared more of them. When someone at home was unable to get water from the space, she could still use water conveniently.

After putting the jar in place, she took the wooden bucket and shoulder pole, ready to fetch a few buckets of water and bring it back in front of others to reduce some trouble.

Tong Yiya carried three buckets of water, filling up a vat in the kitchen and a vat in the yard before stopping to rest.

At this time, it was gradually getting dark, so she closed the gate and went into the kitchen to prepare her dinner.

After dinner, Tong Yiya cleaned up the kitchen and went into the house. She turned off the lights in the house and entered the space.

As for what was outside the space, she asked No. 03 to pay attention to it, and to inform her if there was any sound outside.

Tong Yiya stayed in the space until eleven o'clock at night before washing up and leaving the space to rest.

The night passed peacefully. The next day, she woke up, washed up, and then went to open the gate. She saw the young man who was injured yesterday walking towards her with the support of an older man.

Tong Yiya opened and fixed the gate, then went back to the house and fetched two chairs. When she turned around and saw that someone had already reached the door, she said, "Come and change the medicine. Come sit over here for a while."

When the older man saw Tong Yiya, he first thanked her and then helped his son sit down on the chair.

Tong Yiya walked closer and squatted down. The man’s trouser legs had not been put down yesterday, so she directly opened the gauze and saw that the wound inside was only a little swollen. It seemed that the medicine he had boiled yesterday was used to drink.

She looked at the wound and saw no more blood coming out, so she said, "It's just a little inflamed. I'll apply some anti-inflammatory medicine on you today, and drink the medicine from yesterday for a day, and you'll be fine. Also, don't touch water until the wound has healed."

"Okay, okay, Doctor Tong, we will do as you say," said the man on the side.

Tong Yiya replied with an "hmm" and got up to pick herbs. After a while, she came back with two handfuls of herbs. She gave the one for boiling water to the man, while she took the other handful to crush them.

After cleaning the wound, disinfecting it with alcohol, applying new medicine and bandaging it, the two of them went back.

When they go back, the men still have to go to work. No family can afford to lose two laborers in a day. This is the case for everyone in the village. Unless they have to rest, everyone has to go to the fields every day to earn work points.

After the people left, Tong Yiya packed up her things, cleaned the gauze used by that person, scalded it with boiling water to disinfect it, and dried it in the sun so that it could be used by others next time.

It's not that Tong Yiya is stingy and reluctant to part with this little bit of gauze, it's just that the commune only distributed two small rolls of this stuff. If there was a seriously injured person, this amount of gauze would not be enough for one use, let alone replacement.

If she wanted more, she would have to go to the commune hospital and buy it. The team leader had told her long ago that she could not charge for anything other than western medicine, otherwise it would be considered reselling. The only things she could charge for were agricultural products.

So if she wanted to buy the gauze, she would have to pay for it herself, which was simply impossible. Tong Yiya didn't have the kindness to do such a good deed, so she just had to clean, disinfect and reuse it.

You should ask her, isn't there such gauze in her space? They are not from the same era, so how can the things produced be the same?

Besides, if she gave away her own things, wouldn't they be given away for free? Tong Yiya didn't want to do that, it was that simple.

After hanging the gauze up to dry, Tong Yiya went to the kitchen to cook herself a bowl of noodles for breakfast. After breakfast, she carried a backpack, a rope for bundling firewood and a medicine hoe, locked the door and went up the mountain.

She is going to pick up a lot of dry firewood today. She wants to stock up enough firewood and herbs for treating colds at home before winter comes, so that she can spend a peaceful winter.

Also, the village was about to start the autumn harvest, and the weather would be very hot in those days, so she also had to prepare some medicinal herbs and cook some medicinal tea and go to the fields to give it to the people to drink, so as to avoid heatstroke affecting the autumn harvest.

Tong Yiya would also go to the fields during the autumn harvest. She wanted to earn two work points so that she could get more grain after the autumn harvest. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous to buy grain so often.

She reached halfway up the mountain today and started collecting firewood and digging some useful medicinal herbs around.

She had memorized the complete encyclopedia of medicinal herbs a long time ago, but she took it out and read it again in the past few days, for fear that she might have remembered some herbs incorrectly and might end up digging the wrong herbs.

After another busy day on the mountain, she went back at noon, rested for an hour, made lunch, and went up the mountain again.

One day, she took advantage of the space travel to get half of the woodshed's firewood and four baskets of medicinal herbs.

So after returning home, she would first wash those that could be hung directly to dry in the sun, and then put them in the sun for a while.

Those that required multiple steps of processing were left for later. She was always steaming various medicinal herbs at night, and she had ready-made dinner from the space.

It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that I finished the first steaming and the second steaming from yesterday and hung them up to dry.

She was smelling bitter and not very pleasant, or maybe she was not used to it yet.

She simply cleaned up the kitchen and went back. Now she wanted to go into the space to take a shower and change clothes.

She slept in the space at night. It was too late when she finished everything, and Tong Yiya was too lazy to come out so she just slept in the space.

Early the next morning, the team leader brought people to deliver the wooden furniture she had requested a few days ago. They moved a wooden frame and a wooden cabinet with multiple drawers into the house and arranged them. The house suddenly looked presentable.

There is a large wooden rack in the yard, which holds the winnowing baskets for drying medicinal herbs, thus reducing the space occupied.

After arranging everything, the team leader praised Tong Yiya a few more times. Seeing that she had already dried a lot of medicinal herbs in her yard, he was very satisfied with the barefoot doctor chosen by their team.

The two of them didn't say much. The team leader was busy going back to assign tasks to the villagers, so he took his men and left.
