Shen Wangxin closed the courtyard door, and went to knock on the Chen Family father and son pair's door with the tray in her hands. Chen Xian opened the door and was called into the hall by Shen Wangxin. She examined his injuries and saw that he was covered in superficial wounds. Then, she took a bottle of medicinal wine and told him to go back to his room to clean himself.
After doing all this, Shen Wangxin went back to the backyard, locked the door between the two courtyards, and went back to her room. A few days ago, when she went to the county, she had even stopped by the study to buy a few medical books.
Although the medical standards of this era were quite different from her own. She could even see that there were some things in the medical books that had been proven wrong even in modern times. However, knowing more about this period of time would definitely help her in the future operation of her infirmary.
In the meantime, Auntie Shen tidied up the kitchen, stuck her head in to say hello to Shen Wangxin, then went to the big tree at the village entrance and chatted with a group of women.
Shen Wangxin, on the other hand, did not stop her. She left the back door open for Auntie Shen and went into the house next to the kitchen to look at her newly bought medicinal plant seeds. There were a lot of suitable herbs for planting in the spring, but she only picked a few commonly used herbs that had a stable market price. For example, the indigowoad root that was commonly used in cold and wind, the scutellaria root that could be used to clear away heat and detoxify the poison, and the Bai Zhi that had the effect of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.
It had been raining for a while now, and the Xitou Village in the south was getting wet again. There were many water droplets on the walls, and even the wooden floor was getting wet. Shen Wangxin was worried that the seeds would break, so she took the ash out of the stove every day to prevent the moisture. Every night, he would check the seed regularly and pick it out before throwing it away.
Seeing that the sky was getting better, she decided it was time to sow the seeds, and planned to sow them in the fields tomorrow.
Shen Wangxin was concerned about this matter. She got up early the next morning, ate breakfast, put on her bamboo hat, and then carried the seeds to the field behind the yard to sow the seeds.
Auntie Shen washed the dishes clean, but there was no sign of Shen Wangxin in the backyard. When she walked out of the back door, she saw a small figure struggling to hoe the ground.
"Xin, this kind of medicinal seed is yours?" Auntie Shen wiped the wet water from her hands on her apron and walked to Shen Wangxin's side. She took the hoe from Shen Wangxin and smiled. "If Third Grandmother came to help you, how big of a hole would you have to dig?"
"How does Third Grandmother usually grow vegetables? This is probably the best way to grow medicinal plants." Shen Wangxin thought about it and said.
In her previous life, she spent almost all of her time studying medicine. At that time, the Chinese medicine system was very developed, and all kinds of herbs were refined and sent to the Chinese Medical Hospital. However, although these things could be bought in the Zhou Dynasty, he would have to plant some of them himself.
Auntie Shen nodded. She used her hoe to dig a small hole and told Shen Wangxin to put the herb in, "Put in a few more seeds every time. Don't look at how things are right now. If we squeeze together, we can move to the side a bit bigger. "
Although Auntie Shen didn't know how to grow medicinal herbs, she had grown beans in the field before, so she decided to teach Shen Wangxin based on her own experience.
Just like this, Auntie Shen was in charge of digging holes while Shen Wangxin was in charge of throwing the seeds in. After covering them with soil, she worked hard the whole morning to grow nearly an acre of medicinal herbs.
Shen Wangxin's small body was about to collapse from exhaustion. Looking at Auntie Shen's relaxed expression, she thought to herself that this body was still too weak. Not only did she have to replenish her food, she also had to train her body well. There were still a lot of things that needed to be done in the future due to the medical hall.
When he returned to the front yard, there was someone who came to buy some ointment. It was a twelve or thirteen year old girl wearing a small bamboo hat. Her delicate face was covered in sweat. When she saw Shen Wangxin, she revealed a smile.
Shen Wangxin vaguely remembered that this girl's name was Wang Zhaodi. She lived at the back of the village, on the back of the village. Therefore, Wang Zhaodi often came here to buy medicine for her father, Hunter Wang. Shen Wangxin remembered her after they left and after that.
"Do you want the ointment from before?" Shen Wangxin asked as she opened the medicine cabinet's drawer.
Wang Zhaodi exclaimed, took out 50 gold coins from the bag at her waist and put it on the counter, then smiled as she pursed her lips and said, "The ointment from Young Doctor Shen's side is still cheap and easy to use. In the past, buying it from the county's medicine store would cost 80 to 90 gold coins, and my dad also said it was painless."
Shen Wangxin had seen Hunter Wang's injuries before. They were all joint problems caused by years of hard work. Due to his habitual use of arrows, he had very severe periarthritis of the shoulder. When it flared up, he couldn't even lift his hand.
Shen Wangxin gave the ointment to Wang Zhaodi and said, "Your father's problem is the blockage. His neck and shoulder are the easiest places to hide evil. It is said in the medical books that 'when one has insufficient breath, blood will not flow, and blood will not flow, while water will not flow, and poison will not flow'. Compared to ointments, it is best to use a strong medicinal wine to liven up the flow of blood, and it is best to rest for a while, and can also use acupuncture to treat it. "
Wang Zhaodi sighed and said, "I also tried to persuade her, but I'm the only girl in the family and my mother's body isn't good either. How could my father be willing to rest? On the other hand, was there any medicinal wine that Young Doctor Shen was talking about? If there are, I'll buy some for my dad. "
Only after hearing her reminder, did Shen Wangxin realize that her medical hall lacked a common medicinal wine. Countryside farmers are the most vulnerable to shoulder and rheumatism, medicine and alcohol and the like should always be on hand.
She had a formula to soothe the muscles and rejuvenate the blood. She needed herbs such as angelica, chuanxiong, saffron, madder, and Wei Ling Xian. Medicinal ingredients were still okay, but the most important thing about medicinal wine was the word 'wine'. Rice wine used by farmers was not allowed, as strong spirits were essential.
In the ancient era of Hua Kingdom, in the Yuan Dynasty, spirits were introduced into the Central Asian region. Afterwards, they began to shine in medicine. However, the time and space they were in was different now. Shen Wangxin could not be sure whether the Great Zhou would produce white spirits or not.
"Xin is talking about cooking wine?" After hearing Shen Wangxin's question, Auntie Shen thought for a while and said, "You did get a jar of that wine, but that liquor was too strong, it would be easy to drink. "I don't have many people who like drinking here. I heard that the people in the north drink a bit more. If you want, I'll go home and bring it over for you."
Shen Wangxin didn't expect there to be white spirits in this era. She immediately expressed that she could buy them for herself. Auntie Shen naturally didn't want Shen Wangxin's money.
It would be a few days before Shen Wangxin had that jar of white wine.
