Chapter 4 Treatment of Blood Malaria

(Please support for your collection and recommendation support. Writing novels is not easy, please ask!)

There is no meal at noon. The current Tang Dynasty was in the Zhenguan period, and it was implemented in two meals, one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening. It can be saved as much as possible at noon.

Li Sheng helped Li Dafu to do bed there together. Yue Niang took her daughter Li Xing to work in the field. It is May now, and the work in the field is about to begin. As for Li Zhan, he is fiddling with his sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato cultivation does not actually require seeds. If you have sweet potatoes, you can dry them directly. When you have 1-2 healthy sweet potatoes, put them in the sink and wash them. Then in half. If the sweet potato is particularly large, cut them into three or four pieces.

Find an open bottle to fill with water. The seedling cultivation project begins here. Use an open bottle or cup to fill with water, so that half of the sweet potato can be immersed in the water and half of the sweet potato can be exposed to the water surface. The bottle mouth or cup mouth should be so big that the sweet potato can be placed, and the entire bottle should be filled with water.

Li Zhan had no bottles or cups, so Li Zhan found a small clay pot at home.

Soak your sweet potato in water. Insert 4-5 toothpicks equidistantly on the outside of the sweet potato, place the sweet potato incision downwards on the mouth of the bottle filled with water, and let the sweet potato hang at the mouth of the bottle and immerse half of it in the water.

The toothpicks are made of small bamboo, and there are a lot of abandoned bamboo materials in Li Zhan’s home.

Each piece of sweet potato cut is placed in a different water bottle, giving light and temperature. Move the bottle with the sweet potato to the sunny windowsill.

Let your sweet potato seedlings grow. Wait for 2-4 weeks to start growing tender buds with leaves on the top of the sweet potato.

Pick sweet potato seedlings. After the sweet potatoes are covered with seedlings, carefully pull them down one by one with your hands. They have no roots, only small leaves.

Put the sweet potato seedlings into water. Put some water in the bowl, about 3 cm or less, depending on the number of sweet potato seedlings. Put the sweet potato seedlings into the bowl and let the base of them be immersed in water until a few days later, the roots grow from the bottom.

Add clean water once a day to allow the seedlings to grow healthily.

Transplant. After 2-3 days, sweet potatoes should grow roots. Pour out the water from the bowl and take out your sweet potato seedlings for planting. It is best to plant them directly in the yard to keep the roots intact and not plant them separately in the pot.

Li Zhan made a total of sixteen clay pots. If he is lucky, Li Zhan can harvest hundreds of sweet potato seedlings. Hehe finds another piece of land to plant it. Then, when he harvests, there will be more sweet potatoes.

It was from noon to afternoon that Li Zhan got the clay pots one by one, and Li Zhan told his family not to touch this way. Li Zhan always talked about it at home, so although everyone didn't know what Li Zhan was doing, they all nodded and said that they wouldn't touch it.

"elder sister."

The sun sets in front of the Li family's door. It doesn't count if it is an uninvited guest. The person who calls his sister is Li Zhan's uncle, Yue Niang's younger brother, Zhang Hei, and Li Zhan's mother has two younger brothers, Zhang Hei and Zhang Shun.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Li Xing went to the gate of the courtyard. When he saw that the person was Zhang Hei, he immediately enthusiastically welcomed Zhang Hei into the courtyard.

At this time, Yue Niang, Li Dafu, Li Sheng and Li Zhan also walked out of the room.

Following Li Zhan, he saw Zhang Hei walking in with a very thin cow with a frown.

The status of cattle in the Tang Dynasty was very high. Beef was rare not because there were few cattles, but because cattle could not be killed. Cattle were an important labor force in the society at that time, and rural labor was entirely dependent on cattle. For the sake of the national economy, the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited the slaughter of the people.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the status of cattle was particularly high. Killing cattle was equivalent to killing people, and it would be sentenced to death. After the Tang Dynasty, the punishment was reduced. Killing cattle illegally did not require life compensation, but it would still be sentenced.

"What's wrong with your cow?" Yue Niang took the lead in seeing her brother's difficulties.

"Oh!" Hearing his sister ask about the cow behind him, Zhang Hei squatted on the ground angrily: "Sister, I was deceived by the Zheng family's housekeeper. He sold the cow to me for two jin of money. The day he bought it was fine, but the next day, the cow started to get diarrhea. After three days, the cow was skinny and bone-skinned. Later I realized that this cow was a sick cow and had blood malaria. No wonder two jin of money sold me one cow. You know, these two jin of money are owned by my whole family."

After saying that, Zhang Hei's eyes turned red.

Yue Niang, who was on the other side, also cursed angrily: "You idiot, you need at least twelve stakes for a cow. If someone sells two stakes of cow, you will be greedy for small profits and use your brain. The Zheng family will give you such a big profit. Oh, you are really going to piss me off. Now you say what you want to do?"

"Sister, I don't want to do it either, so don't scold me. I heard that there was an amazing veterinarian in the village ahead, so I took this cow to rest here and followed it to that village to try my luck. However, my family bought all the money, so!"

The following words were not spoken, and everyone present knew that their uncle was here to do something, and there was nothing else, so he borrowed money to see a cow.

But Li Dafu said on the side: "Big Black Blood Malaria cannot be cured. I know the veterinarian from Qian Village, but he cannot cure blood malaria."

"Brother-in-law!" Li Dafu's words finally shattered all the hope in Zhang Hei's heart. Zhang Hei was preparing to make a last try, but the words of his brother-in-law Li Dafu directly shattered Zhang Hei's hope.

It is said that men will not cry easily, but they are not sad. Because of their mistakes, they have lost all their money for two jin of money in their family, and even lost their money for dinner in the future. Zhang Hei's heart is as if he was stabbed by thousands of needles.

Tears could no longer be allowed to flow down, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt sad, and even more crying. A man cried heart-wrenchingly. Soon, Yue Niang, Li Jen, and even Li Sheng and Li Dafu secretly wiped their tears.

But Li Zhan stood aside and yawned and said lightly: "I can cure this cow's blood malaria."

"What?" After Li Zhan said, his crying stopped. Everyone looked at Li Zhan who was yawning in horror. Li Zhan wiped the tears that were coming out of yawning and said, "If you want to treat it, I will tell you how to treat it."

"Use egg shells, plus tangerine peel and chicken gizzard, put them in the pottery jar and stir-fry quickly. Take it with warm boiled water, three times a day, and it will take effect in two days."

"Well, my nephew, are you saying true or false?"

Zhang Hei was still a little unbelievable about Li Zhan's words. After all, he had never heard of his eldest nephew as a veterinarian.

But Li Zhan chuckled and said, "Uncle, do you have any other choice?"

My father said that the veterinarian will not cure blood malaria, so you will definitely die, I am your nephew, what is the point of lying to you at this time? If you believe it, your ox will have a life of death, but if you don’t believe that there will be no life without death.

So uncle, do you believe it or not?"

After a few words, Zhang Hei immediately nodded and pulled Li Zhan and begged: "I believe, I believe you are my nephew. Why did you lie to me? I'll go find eggshells and go now!"

After saying that, Zhang Hei ran out of the Li family's yard like crazy.
