After dinner, he went to the river to take a bath, and then brought back a bundle of calamus and some mint, soaked a cup of mint water. Then Chen Xu sat on the stone in the yard and began to sort out the herbs he dug back.

In fact, this large basket is not all herbs, there are many other things in it.

The first thing to be treated is calamus. Calamus grows near the ditch, with soft and slender leaves. A flower stem will grow in the middle between April and May, and the stamens will expand into a brown-yellow rod-shaped, shaped like a candle. Therefore, calamus has a name called water candle.

The main medicinal part of calamus is on this flower stick. It is picked in April and May, and the pollen inside is called Puhuang. The main effect of Puhuang is to stop bleeding and disperse blood. It can be applied internally and externally. It is the most common hemostatic drug in rural areas. It can be seen almost everywhere in canals, ditches, swamps, rivers, beaches and ponds. Generally, in rural areas, bleeding occurs when bleeding occurs, pulling a ball of furry flower spikes from the calamus stick and pressing it on the bleeding place without even bandaging. It will stop bleeding in a few minutes. If the wound is deep, you can fry the flower spikes and grind it into powder and take it internally, which can speed up the blood coagulation at the wound and speed up the bleeding process.

"Brother, are you going to use pillows as pillows? But there are too few!" Xing'er squatted on the ground and looked at pillows and said.

"No, the pistachio sticks can stop bleeding. Go and get a pottery pot for me, pull off all the fur on the pistachio sticks and put them in the pottery pot to dry."

"Dashi, go and cut three old bamboos back, one thick and two thin ones!"

"Mom, go and get me a clean vine basket and a few bowls, and I'll use it later."

Under Chen Xu's instructions, the whole family began to get busy.

Chen Xu also took out other things in the vine basket and a few wild yams. This was discovered by accident. Although summer is not the season for digging, since he encountered it, Chen Xu couldn't help but dig a nest. This thing strengthens the body and replenishes energy, which is very good for people with weak bodies. Moreover, stewed pork ribs in yam is also a delicacy. There are several large pieces of ribs at home. For him, who has been thinking about food in later generations recently, he has not had much resistance.

If there is Shanxi old vinegar, it will definitely be delicious to make a vinegar-slide yam. With these yams, Chen Xu felt that his saliva flowed down instantly.

Three licorice roots, which are about the same thickness as eggs, have grown in the mountains for many years, and are almost the same as tree roots.

"Brother, isn't this licorice?" Xing'er squatted beside her and pulled the stick to her.

Because the last time Erxi was treated for poisoning, the whole village already knew licorice.

"Well, licorice can degrade many kinds of poisons. You can soak it in water after it is sliced ​​and dried. You can help me take it and wash it with water!" Chen Xu handed three licorice to Xinger.

"Mom, please help me cut these vines into small pieces..."

The sky soon became darker, and several people continued to make the fire by the light of the fire, and the fire was surrounded by vine baskets and pottery bowls. In the end, even the clay pots for cooking were taken out and stuffed, and the rest were nowhere to be placed.

Chen Xu had no choice but to give up for the time being.

The recruited civilians had only two days to prepare to gather in Qinghe Town, so he needed to process the medicinal materials within two days. Many of them should have been dried or dried, and they could only be treated by drying. As for the effect... they could only guess. At least these must be pure and wild herbs that have been born for many years, and are completely incomparable to the effects of those herbs that have been artificially planted and fertilized quickly in later generations. Even if the medicinal effects are lost, they should still have good results.

What's more, doing these things yourself is just leaving people to fate. The results are completely unknown, but there is no doubt about the starting point, that is, a compassionate heart, and hope that all those who serve in the village can come back alive intact.

No words all night.

The next day, the whole family got up early and continued to process the herbs. They sliced ​​them, cut them into sections, boiled them in water, dried them in drying them, and pounded them into powder with stone mortars.

Because of yesterday's incident, the atmosphere in the village today is particularly dull and depressing.

The loud chats and laughter that you can hear on weekdays disappear without a trace.

When the villagers met, they just nodded and said hello in a low voice, their faces were very serious.

After breakfast, Niu Dashi brought his younger brother and Niu Tian to help.

A day of busy life passed by. When the sun was about to set, Chen Xu collected several of the most important medicinal materials together. After a day of drying, drying, grinding into powder, and frying, it can almost be made into pills and powders.

However, when he sat down with a bowl and looked at the rows of large bamboo tubes filled with various medicinal powders, he remembered that he did not have the adhesive to turn the powder into pills.

The pill he was going to make was very simple, which was the native pill, which was mainly used to clear heat and relieve heat and prevent headaches and heat stroke after heat stroke. Because these people are now in the hottest summer, this problem may be the most obvious.

The so-called native elixir is a human elixir with incomplete medicinal materials. This is a pieced together by his second grandfather when he was a child. I remember that there are small pills made by mixing more than ten medicinal powders such as licorice, tangerine peel, cardamom, agastache, cinnamon, mint, and borneol. But now he has only found three types, namely licorice, mint and platycodon. So he added some Artemisia annua, turmeric and scutellaria baicalensis, but the amount of these three types he planned to add was very small, because he didn't know whether it would produce any anti-medic properties when added. But I vaguely remember that these three medicinal materials also have the effect of clearing heat. I think it would be better to add less to poison people.

But everything is ready, but I found that there is no adhesive, so it is definitely not possible to use water to rub these powders into pills.

I remember that my second grandfather used thick rice soup, corn flour, and honey to cook glutinous rice, and then put it together and beat it into a paste. After adding the powder, I rubbed it directly with my hands, but now there is no such three types.

I won’t talk about glutinous rice. Although China has already cultivated it at this time, it is all in the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and its yield is extremely low. The compatriots in Great Henan only like to eat pasta from ancient times to the next two thousand years. Therefore, the main grain planted in the Nanyang area is wheat.

There was even less corn flour, and this thing was not introduced to China until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

As for honey, well, he has never seen it since he traveled through time, and the Qin Dynasty did not seem to have the habit and profession of beekeeping.

Damn it!
