Different medicinal materials have different processing methods.

Like shepherd's purse, it only needs to be washed and dried. But kudzu root needs to be washed and moistened, then sliced ​​and dried.

The grandpa and grandson squatted on the ground and first sorted the herbs in the box. Then, the cooking begins.

Grandma saw the grandpa and grandson squatting on the ground in rows.

So they moved a laughing bench for the two of them, and brought a small basin of water to Zhao Zhitong. She rolled up her sleeves, imitated her grandfather, squatted on the ground, and cleaned the herbs.

Sun Kang didn't help, so he let her do it herself, occasionally mentioning something to her.

After the kudzu root is cleaned, it will start to moisten.

Zhao Zhitong asked, "Grandpa, what is Runtou?"

Sun Kang replied: "Runtou is the water treatment method in the process of slicing medicinal materials. It is to add appropriate auxiliary materials, such as water, vinegar, rice wine, wine, rice swill, salt water, honey water, etc., to separate the medicinal materials. Moisten until there is no filling."

...

Zhao Zhitong's medicinal materials are placed in a small basket alone to cool and dry. Grandpa said that after the medicinal materials are dried, she can take them with her and go to sell herbal medicines with her uncle.

Therefore, Zhao Zhitong is looking forward to it.

During the few days waiting for the herbs to dry, Qiao Muchen and Wei Shulan could hear cocoons all day long by talking about her herbs.

As soon as she was free, she ran to Grandpa's house to see if her medicinal materials were good. Finally, when the medicinal materials were ready, they began to ask again when they were going to sell the medicinal materials.

After waiting, it's time for another rest.

On this day, when the sky was bright and the rooster crowed, the uncle Sun Youwei came to Zhao's house.

But Zhao Zhitong, who only wanted to sell herbal medicine, woke up very early, and when he heard any movement in the courtyard, he crawled out of the quilt with his little buttocks arched, stood on the bed and shouted to Sun Mei. She dresses.

When I came to the courtyard, I saw the eldest brother and the younger cousin also got up. Daddy said that none of the children went out to see the world. Therefore, it is rare to be free today, and instead of making tofu, I took them to the county town.

Moreover, his mother also went, Zhao Zhitong was very happy.

Now, even though it was summer, it was still a bit chilly in the morning, so Sun Mei spread a small quilt on the cart, and hugged Zhao Zhitong onto it.

Zhao Zhitong pointed to a small basket at the door and shouted loudly: "Mother, my little basket, my little basket!"

There are herbs she picked in it.

After Sun Mei put Zhao Zhitong away, she said: "I know, I know, you sit down first, and your little pannier will be put in your uncle's car, and I'll give it to you when you get to the city, okay, or you can carry it on your back, Your brother is uncomfortable sitting up."

"Okay~" Zhao Zhitong nodded sensiblely, and felt relieved after seeing Sun Mei put the small basket on the uncle's car.

Zhao Cheng was reluctant to take the car: "Uncle, I can go, and I can help you push the car."

Seeing that his elder brother didn't sit, Zhao Yu didn't want to sit either: "I can push the cart too, I'll help my uncle push the cart."

Zhao Zhitong pouted and looked at Zhao Yu: "You are so small, how can you push the cart? You don't run fast, so what if you lose it again? I have to ask Daddy to find you, come up quickly, and we will sit together. "

In the end, Zhao Yu was carried onto the cart.

A group of people set off.

Although the road was uneven and full of potholes, Sun Mei spread a quilt and it was fine.

Zhao Zhitong was very excited when he went out for the first time. He lay on the car, poked his head out, looked left and right, full of novelties, and chattered endlessly.

Wanfang Mountain straddles Anyang County, where the scenery is beautiful and the people are outstanding. However, in Zhao Zhitong's eyes, all she could see were flowers and plants, and after a while, she became tired and began to feel drowsy.

Sun Mei noticed that Zhao Zhitong was asleep, so she took out the winter clothes from the back basket and wrapped the little guy tightly.

When she woke up again, she had already reached the gate of the county seat. Looking at the bustling city gate and the tall city tower, Zhao Zhitong's eyes were shining.

Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yu also looked very excited, they have never been to the county seat.

After entering the county, the streets of the county are very lively and bustling with people coming and going. There are various stalls on the side of the road, some selling cloth shoes, some selling umbrellas, some selling sesame seed cakes, and some carrying candied haws, shouting A sidewalk peddler.

Zhao Zhitong saw the other side of the cart from one side of the cart, his eyes could not stop the novelty.

Then he yelled to come down and go.

There are so many people here, Sun Mei will definitely not agree, so she said: "What if you get lost when you come down, you will be taken away, and then sold to others to be a little maid."

As soon as Zhao Zhitong heard about selling children, Zhao Zhitong became scared instantly, so he resisted the urge to run down the ground and just watched in the car.

Zhao Dong also bought strings of candied haws for each of the three children.

But it was so sour, Zhao Zhitong only took one mouthful, then wrapped it in a handkerchief and asked Zhao Dong to put it in the basket for her, saying that she would save it for her cousins.

When they arrived at the county town, they went straight to the pharmacy. The county town was bustling, and there were only two large pharmacies, and there were many small drug dealers along the street.

Uncle Sun Youwei often came to sell herbs, so he knew which one had the best price, so he went straight to a pharmacy in the center of the street.

Zhao Zhitong looked up at the pharmacy on the second floor, and there was a three-character plaque hanging on it, so he pointed and said, "Miaochuntang."

At this time, the work in the pharmacy just came out, and when she heard Zhao Zhitong reading the plaque in a childish voice, she couldn't help but look at her more.

Because the uncle often came to sell medicine, the job recognized him: "Hey, are you here to sell medicine?"

Sun Youwei nodded and smiled: "Yes, this time I went to collect another batch and came back, just finished processing."

The guy smiled and ushered him in.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a scent of medicine. Opposite the door is the counter. A middle-aged man is standing inside the counter. Behind him is a row of medicine racks, with the names of medicinal materials written on each small grid.

At this time, the middle-aged man was grabbing medicine for an old man.

Seeing them coming in, he asked a guy beside him to greet them.

"Come on, you come with me."

As the guy spoke, he led them to the room behind the pharmacy.

The little uncle has a lot of medicinal materials. There are two guys who come to see the medicinal materials. One of them looks at the medicinal materials, weighs them, and reads in his mouth: "Sanqi tablets, nine taels, kudzu root tablets, eight taels..."

And the guy who led them in at the door was taking notes with a pen.

After all the medicinal materials were inspected, the guy gave the uncle a consistent amount of money, and said with a smile that he would come down next time.

Seeing that the eldest uncle's medicinal materials were all sold out, Zhao Zhitong hurriedly took his little pannier, handed it to the clerk and said in a childlike voice: "Big brother, take a look at mine, I still have this."

The guy was obviously taken aback, and looked at the little one standing below, looking at him.

Then Sun Youwei hurriedly said: "This is a student my father just accepted, my niece, who just learned how to make medicinal materials, so you can take a look and see if it is worth money."

"Oh, it turned out to be a female doll." The guy was surprised, and then smiled cheerfully: "I thought it was Mr. Xiaolang. It is rare for a female doll to study medicine."
