Chapter 30

30. Divide food and boil medicine

"Okay, you wait here and I'll get the grain for you," the scorer said and went in to get the grain.

As soon as the scorers took out the food, Zhou Minghui came over with Zhou Mingxin and Zhou Mingyi. As soon as they arrived, without saying a word, they picked up the food on the ground and rushed to Lin Qingxi's house.

"Cousin, do you have enough food at home? If not, just tell me and I will find a way to get some food back." Lin Qingxi did not say that she would send some food to the old Zhou family. She knew that the old Zhou family would not accept it.

.

"The family has enough food. Thanks to you leading us all to collect herbs and sell them for money, this year the whole village has had the biggest harvest," Zhou Minghui said with a smile. Their small family has made dozens of dollars.

"That's good," Lin Qingxi nodded and said nothing more.

"Girl Xi, it looks like it's going to rain today. Do you want to dig a cellar in your house? If so, we'll dig it out for you in the next two days." Zhou Minghui suddenly remembered what Zhou Guijiang said to him when he was at home, and hurriedly

Asked.

"Okay! I also said that I would go to my uncle in two days and ask him to dig a cellar at home to store food." Lin Qingxi agreed without thinking. She really planned to go to Zhou Guijiang in the next two days.

Said this.

"Okay, then you should be careful at night. We will go to your house to dig a cellar for you at night. It is not convenient to go there during the day." Zhou Minghui knew that his little cousin was a smart person and would definitely agree to dig a cellar.

Soon, Lin Qingxi and her group arrived home. She asked Zhou Minghui and the others to put the food in the kitchen, and then poured them water. The three Zhou Minghui brothers drank the water and went home.

In the evening, after almost everyone in the village fell asleep, Zhou Guijiang and his three sons came to Lin's house to dig a cellar for Lin Qingxi. Lin Qingxi did not plan to dig a very big cellar. Zhou Guijiang and his son were all quick workers.

The cellar was finished in one night.

The cellar was in Lin Qingxi's room, and the entrance was next to the kang bed. She placed a wooden board on it to press it against the intersection, and then placed a large wooden cabinet on top. The wooden cabinet contained quilts for the winter.

On the third day after the grain distribution, the temperature began to drop, and then it started to rain in the afternoon. It rained heavily. Fortunately, Zhoujia Village harvested the grain in time. Other villages had not yet finished harvesting the grain, which was a problem.

In the ground.

After it rained, the matter of collecting herbs was postponed. It was not just the matter of collecting herbs that was postponed, but even Lin Qingxi's teaching disciples was postponed. However, it was easy to handle the matter of teaching disciples. She gave six

The apprentice assigned many endorsement tasks.

Time flew by, and soon it was the twelfth lunar month. Instead of rain, snow came. In less than a day, the ground and roof were covered.

Many children in the village caught colds from playing, and even many elderly people caught colds.

"Girl Xi, what do you think we should do?" Zhou Guitang was also troubled by the noise from the villagers. Because everyone was busy collecting herbs to make money, the collection of firewood for the winter was postponed, but he did not expect that it would rain suddenly, and then

It rains again.

Now, although every household in the entire village has firewood, it is only enough for daily use and not enough for burning the kang, which is why so many elderly people have colds.

"Let's do this! Uncle Tang, although there is a stove in the clinic, there is no iron pot. You have someone bring the big iron pot from the warehouse. I will boil some herbs to remove wind and cold for everyone to drink. You go and inform the villagers.

I come to the clinic every day to get medicine to drink. If I am sick, I will treat it, but if I am not, I will prevent it." Lin Qingxi was at her wits end.

"Okay, I'll do it now," Zhou Guitang quickly agreed. He left Lin's house and asked someone to open a warehouse to take the iron pot to the clinic. Then he went to every house to inform everyone that they would go to the clinic to collect medicines in two hours.

drink.

Lin Qingxi waited for Zhou Guitang to leave. She went back to the room to get her things, leaving Xiang Yijing and Xiang Yikang at home to look after the house. She took the Lin Yizheng brothers to the clinic.

"Girl Xi, what are you doing out in such a cold day?" Lin Qingxi took her two nephews halfway and met Zhou Mingyi who was coming down from the back mountain.

"Uncle Tang just came to me and told me that many villagers have caught colds and asked me to think of a solution. I'm going to the clinic to prepare medicine. Brother, you put your things at home and then go to the clinic to help me," Lin Qingxi

He spoke unceremoniously.

"Okay, Yizheng, take these two rabbits home. Girl Xi, tell me what you want me to do?" Zhou Mingyi heard Lin Qingxi's words and immediately asked Lin Yizheng to hold the two hares in his hand.

Send him to the Lin family, and he will follow Lin Qingxi.

"Brother, take Yi Rong to the mountain to cut down two trees and come back. There is no firewood in the clinic," Lin Qingxi was not polite to Zhou Mingyi at all. The two of them were about the same age and got along best.

"Okay, then you go to the clinic first," Zhou Mingyi said, and took Lin Yirong to the mountain to cut down trees.

Before Lin Qingxi arrived at the clinic, she saw Zhou Guitang's eldest son, Zhou Mingfa, carrying a large iron pot at the door of the clinic. It seemed that he had arrived early and was waiting for her to open the door.

Lin Qingxi quickly took the key and opened the door. Zhou Mingfa took the iron pot in and installed it, and then stayed in the clinic to help Lin Qingxi.

"Brother Mingfa, please go and bring back a few buckets of water, clean the iron pot, and soak the medicinal materials. Once the medicinal properties are soaked out, you can brew the medicine," Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Mingfa standing still.

, I knew he was going to stay and strike.

Zhou Mingfa nodded, turned around and went to work without saying a word. The two of them finished their work, and Zhou Mingyi and Lin Yirong came back carrying a big tree.

Seeing that Zhou Mingyi and the others were back, Lin Qingxi asked them to chop the big tree with an axe, then chop it into small pieces, and then asked Lin Yirong to light a fire.

Soon, the medicinal ingredients were cooked. When the fire was boiling, turn to low heat and continue to simmer. After half an hour, it was almost done.

Just at this time, the villagers from Zhoujia Village were walking towards the clinic one after another. Before they entered, they smelled a strong smell of medicine.

"Brother Mingfa, you and my fifth cousin are responsible for getting the medicinal soup for the people waiting in line. Just a small bowl per person. There is no charge." After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she went into the kitchen to prepare a pot of medicinal soup.

.

After the decoction was cooked, Lin Qingxi put all the decoction into wooden barrels and asked Zhou Mingfa to lift the two large wooden barrels containing the decoction to the door and distribute the medicine to everyone. She stayed in the kitchen and continued.

Boil medicine.

More and more villagers came to the clinic to get medicine. Fortunately, Lin Qingxi had the foresight to cook another pot, otherwise the villagers who came later would not have medicine to drink.

It is precisely because of Lin Qingxi's foresight that Zhou Mingfa and Zhou Mingyi admire her more and more. No matter what she does in the future, they will resolutely follow and obey her. This also saves them and Zhoujiacun a lot of trouble.

The villagers lived a prosperous and good life.
