Chapter 385 Discovering Pueraria
Chapter 385 Discovering Pueraria
"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady." Chunzhi responded, turned around, hugged An Yue's arm, and slowly closed her eyes.
......
After they woke up.
They simply tidied up the bed and then walked out of the house together.
When they went to the main hall to get the backpack, they saw Wu Wenqiu and Wu Wenshan playing with the little girl. They saw An Yue and Chunzhi walking out of the house.
He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are the two girls awake?"
An Yue nodded slightly and said, "Boss, the herbs we brought have been used up. We may have to go pick some more herbs."
Wu Wenshan agreed: "Yes, OK! We have a lot of people here, and we need a lot of medicinal materials."
Wu Wenqiu said, "How about this, let the child's mother accompany you. You are responsible for picking the herbs, and she is responsible for carrying them. This way it will be faster and you won't be tired."
An Yue secretly complained in her heart: [This arrangement is just to prevent us from running away secretly. ]
An Yue smiled and nodded: "Yeah, that's fine, one more person picking, and more herbs."
Then, Wu Wenqiu said to the woman who was grinding wheat grains, "Ah Jing, you and the two girls go out and collect more medicinal herbs."
"Okay! I'll be right over." Wu Wenqiu's wife responded, then turned to her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go first."
"go Go!"
Wu Wenqiu's wife quickly carried the backpack and walked up to An Yue: "Girl, let's go!"
An Yuechunzhi and the woman walked out of the village gate together.
As they walked, the woman explained to An Yuechunzhi the customs and habits of the village.
They came to an open space and found a lot of Houttuynia cordata.
An Yue pointed to the ground and said, "Chunzhi, you and Auntie should dig Houttuynia cordata here first, and I will go over there to see if I can find other herbs."
"Well, all right, miss."
Chunzhi and the woman were squatting together digging Houttuynia cordata, while An Yue walked aside.
An Yue looked around and saw a patch of yellow broom growing at the edge of the open space.
She walked over quickly, cut the grass with a sickle and put it in the basket on her back.
It had just rained, and although the sky was clear for most of the day, the fields and roads were still muddy.
An Yue picked up the sickle and started cutting the yellow broom. In a few strokes, she had cut half of the yellow broom in the backpack and then put the basket on the ground.
She climbed a few more steps upward.
She glanced around and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. She seemed to see a large area of vines.
She walked over curiously and saw that it was indeed a vine, and it was a kudzu vine.
For a moment, she was completely shocked.
An Yue shouted to the two people not far away: "Chunzhi, Auntie, come here quickly."
Chunzhi looked up and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Come here quickly, I found a treasure."
When Chunzhi heard that it was a treasure, she quickly stood up, put the Houttuynia cordata in her hand into the backpack, and ran straight towards Anyue.
Chunzhi ran up to An Yue breathlessly and asked, "Miss, where is the baby?"
An Yue pointed at the kudzu vine and said, "Look! Over there."
Chunzhi looked in the direction An Yue pointed, but couldn't see anything special.
At this time, the woman also came to An Yue.
Chunzhi turned around with a confused look on her face and asked, "Miss, what treasure are you talking about? How come Chunzhi didn't see it?"
An Yue smiled and said, "Look carefully to see if there are any vines there."
The woman was also confused: "What is that vine?"
"That's Kudzu vine. It's a good thing for us right now."
As An Yue spoke, she walked towards there with a sickle, and Chunzhi and the woman followed closely behind.
"Aunt, there are roots growing under this kudzu vine. The roots can be used as medicine or as a staple food."
After hearing this, the woman asked with shining eyes: "Oh? Really?"
An Yue nodded and smiled, "Really? If you don't believe me, Auntie can ask someone to come over and dig up the kudzu roots now."
"Okay, okay, I'll call someone over right away."
After the woman finished speaking, she quickly shouted towards the village gate: "A Liu! A Liu! Come here quickly."
After a while, the man guarding the gate of the stockade came over and asked, "Madam, what happened?"
"Go to the village and call a few more brothers, and have them bring hoes."
"Okay!" After hearing this, the man named A Liu turned around and ran towards the gate of the village.
An Yuechunzhi and the woman continued to look for herbs.
......
A group of men came with hoes on their shoulders, and one of them asked, "Madam, why did you ask us to come here?"
The woman pointed to the kudzu vine and said, "Go to that field, follow the vine to the root, and then dig out the root."
Without asking any more questions, they walked towards the area covered with kudzu vines.
An Yuechunzhi and the woman put the backpack aside and continued to look for medicinal herbs.
An Yue smiled and reminded: "When you dig, be careful not to damage the kudzu root."
As they dug deeper, one of them saw Pueraria root and exclaimed, "Is this Pueraria root?"
An Yue walked over and took a look: "Yes, yes, keep digging."
The others also gathered around to take a look, and one of them said, "Okay, okay, I think I'm almost there."
They returned to their original positions and continued digging with their hoes.
Everyone was sweating, but everyone was full of energy.
Soon, they said one after another: "I dug it up."
"Me too."
......
Everyone was delighted as the kudzu roots, as thick as arms, were dug out intact.
An Yue said, "Everyone, take your time digging. Chunzhi and I will look for other usable herbs nearby."
The woman said to the men, "You guys take your time digging, don't dig too much yet, we'll taste what this kudzu root tastes like later."
After saying that, she turned around and followed An Yue and the others.
An Yue and Chunzhi found medicinal herbs such as plantain, dandelion, and Artemisia annua in the surrounding area.
"I never thought that these seemingly insignificant weeds could actually save lives." The woman sighed as she dug.
"I thought so too when I dug herbs for the first time," Chunzhi echoed.
An Yue smiled and said, "As long as you use it well, everything is a treasure."
"Yes, yes, the girl is really amazing. She knows medical skills at such a young age."
......
Before they knew it, the backpacks of several people were already filled with medicinal herbs.
At this time, the sunset was approaching the west.
An Yue reminded, "Aunt, Chunzhi, it's getting late now, let's just dig this much today! If it's not enough, we can come out and dig another day."
"Okay, okay, let's go back now. But you have to tell us how to eat this kudzu root."
After saying that, the three of them carried full baskets of herbs on their backs and walked towards the gate of the village.
