Chapter 87: Space Herbs
Chen Meng’er was already tired after a long day. After dinner, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan were so excited that they couldn’t sleep. Chen Meng’er washed up early, lay on her small bed, and fell asleep.
Of course, on the surface, it seemed that Chen Meng’er had gone to sleep. Only she knew that her spiritual sense had entered the space.
Ever since Chen Meng’er discovered that her body could enter the space, the number of times her body had entered the space could be counted on one hand. This couldn’t be helped. Chen Meng’er was still young, and with the situation in their home… it was simply impossible for her to stay in one room at a time.
Therefore, in order not to be discovered, Chen Meng’er could only use her spiritual sense to enter the space every time.
This time, Chen Meng’er was so impatient to enter the space because she had thought of the various herbs that had been planted in that piece of land ever since she had entered the space.
Previously, Chen Meng’er couldn’t even recognize all the herbs, let alone how to make these herbs. In addition, in this era, even if she planted vegetables and fruits in the space, she couldn’t use all sorts of excuses to take out the space.
Therefore, the matter of collecting herbs and making herbs had been put on hold by her.
This time, Chen Meng’er took out the ginseng planted in the space and sold it for a good price, allowing Chen Meng’er to focus her attention back on the herbs on this piece of land. Chen Meng’er felt that it was shameful to waste, especially in this era, when most of the land was still owned by the public. It was such a waste to have a piece of land lying idle.
After Chen Meng’er entered the space, she looked at the land that was filled with all kinds of herbs. After thinking for a moment, she was ready to turn around and go to the study room to take out the encyclopedia that specialized in introducing herbs, she still processed these herbs according to the steps in the book.
After seeing the value of this ginseng, Chen Meng’er did not dare to look down on the herbs in this land. Based on Chen Meng’er’s knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine that she had studied for such a long time, these herbs were at least over a hundred years old.
And now, these herbs that were over a hundred years old were very rare in this world.
Therefore, Chen Meng’er felt that it was better for her to be careful. However, after Chen Meng’er turned around and walked a few steps, she turned around and walked back. How could she have forgotten about her mutated brain?
“This is a good opportunity to try and see what exactly is going on,” Chen Meng’er said to herself as she turned around and walked back.
The processing methods of each herb were different.
The famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing believed that the herbs needed to be burned, refined, shot, and roasted. The raw and cooked herbs needed to be fixed. Some of the skin needed to be peeled off, some of the skin needed to be kept, some of the roots needed to be peeled off, some of the roots needed to be kept, and some of the roots needed to be chopped finely. The herbs needed to be picked according to the recipe. The treatment and peeling were extremely clean.
Therefore, the processing of the herbs played a key role in whether or not the herbs could perform their functions well.
There were many herbs in the field, some were expensive, and some were very common. Chen Meng’er was a newbie, so she did not dare to practice with those expensive herbs. She could only practice with the very common herb — licorice.
Although licorice was a very common Chinese herb, it played an important role in all kinds of medicinal formulas. It was one of the most widely used Chinese herbs, known as the “Elder of the nation.”.
After Chen Meng’er carefully pulled the licorice out of the ground, the name of the herb she had encountered, its function, and how to prepare it automatically appeared in her mind.
Each and every one of them was clearly listed. It was exactly the same as what Chen Meng’er had written on the encyclopedia of herbs in the study.
Chen Meng’er carefully pulled out the licorice in the ground one by one. Then, she took the licorice and ran to the study. She remembered that in the study, there was a small area with some very old tools, before, she didn’t know what these tools were used for.
Now, she understood. These were used to make herbs. Chen Meng’er thought that the previous owner of this space was really a fan of traditional Chinese medicine like Elder Liu.
In Chen Meng’er’s view, the process of making this herb was not a simple project. If she was not careful, it might fail. However, when she personally went to prepare the herb, it happened. Things seemed to be completely different from what she had imagined.
Preparing the herb was a tedious process. However, these cumbersome procedures were very simple in Chen Meng’er’s view. Before she finished one step, her mind would automatically think of how to complete the second step.
Therefore, Chen Meng’er only needed to follow the steps that appeared in her mind and complete it step by step.
“Phew. It’s finally done.” Chen Meng’er used the back of her hand to gently wipe the sweat on her forehead. After taking a light breath, she said.
Chen Meng’er looked at the completed licorice, and a sense of pride involuntarily welled up in her heart.
Concocting medicinal herbs was a time-consuming project. In this one night, Chen Meng’er had also completed the concoction of three medicinal herbs. However, when Chen Meng’er looked at the piece of land that was previously filled with medicinal herbs, there was already a small piece of land that was now empty, the previous bit of hard work had disappeared in an instant. All that was left was satisfaction.
Chen Meng’er planned to wait for the herbs in the field to be cleaned up before planning the entire piece of land. She would focus on vegetables and fruits, Chen Meng’er thought, the taste of the fruits and vegetables produced in this space should not be too bad.
Finally, it was the day of registration.
Early in the morning, the excited Chen Haoxuan got up from his bed and put on the new clothes that he had prepared last night. Then, he ran to Chen Meng’er’s small bed where she was sleeping and harassed her. “Meng’er, wake up. It’s already morning.”
Last night, Chen Meng’er, who had just finished preparing the remaining herbs, clearly did not look like she had slept enough. She rubbed her eyes and then opened them a little. She asked, “Oh, what time is it now?”
“Six o’clock.” Chen Haoxuan looked at the bright sky outside the window and said uncertainly.
“It’s still early. I’ll sleep a little longer.” Chen Meng’er was really sleepy. As she said this, she fell into bed and continued to sleep.
How could Chen Haoxuan be willing to see Chen Meng’er fall into bed and continue to sleep? He shook Chen Meng’er and said, “Yo, wake up. We have to go to school to register today.”
“I know, but it’s still early. Go and wake our big brother up. I’ll sleep for a while more.” Chen Meng’er closed her eyes and said this to Chen Haoxuan while pulling the quilt. Her body turned in another direction and continued to sleep.
However, Chen Meng’er could not withstand the excitement of Chen Haoxuan. In the end, under the harassment of her second brother who would never give up, Chen Meng’er could only open her sleepy eyes and get up to put on clothes.
When Chen Haoxuan saw that Chen Meng’er was looking for clothes with her eyes half open, he hurriedly brought over the new clothes that he and his brother had picked out for Chen Meng’er Yesterday and let Chen Meng’er put them on. As Chen Meng’er had not woken up yet, she did not see clearly what clothes her second brother had handed over, so she put on the pink princess dress in a daze..
