After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 220 Easy to Remember

On the rest of the way, Fang Tong didn't mention this matter again. He couldn't be impatient and needed to plan slowly.

Patriarch Fang can hold on for a while, and he will make long-term plans during this period.

The next day, after breakfast, Fang Nanzhi and Fang Yin went to Zhou's house together.

"Why wouldn't one dare go? Does the needle hurt?"

Fang Yin shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it grows."

The little girl laughed. Haha, it turns out it wasn’t painful, it was just that the needle was so long that it looked scary.

But it's true, there are so many needles, some of which are even inserted into the head. Although she knows that this is how acupuncture works, her second uncle doesn't understand, and he will definitely be scared.

"Don't be afraid, wait until we get back and let Dad buy you some pig's trotters!"

When food was mentioned, Fang Yin immediately perked up and smiled at Fang Nanzhi: "Pig's trotters!"

When they arrived at the gate of Zhou's house, the person who opened the door saw that it was Fang Nanzhi and led her into the yard. However, she actually remembered everything. Her brother had told her that day what the houses in the yard were used for.

"Huh? Are we going to the backyard?"

"Yes, the master has arranged the consultation room in the backyard. The young lady can just enter through this door."

"Ah good!"

Fang Nanzhi pulled Fang Yin through the archway and saw the people in the yard at a glance.

There were several racks in the backyard, and someone was hanging things out to dry. When he heard the noise, he looked over at them.

She scratched her head: Master Shi!

Looking again, I saw Old Man Zhou in the house, with the window open, lying on a recliner basking in the sun.

"Grandpa Zhou, isn't it cold with the window open?"

Mr. Zhou chuckled and stood up. "I'm well dressed and covered, so I don't feel cold at all. Come on, I'm going to start the acupuncture. You can play around here."

Fang Nanzhi waved to his second uncle: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here!"

After the door closed, she stood there and turned around.

There was nothing interesting in the yard, and the only thing she was curious about was the young master who was drying herbs.

"Do you need help?"

"..." Shi Junyan glanced at her and asked, "Do you know herbs?"

Fang Nanzhi shook his head decisively: "I know there are books on herbal medicine, but they are in the library of the academy, and I haven't read them carefully."

"But you can tell me, and I will remember it quickly!"

She looked around and found that she didn't recognize all of them.

"Huh? Isn't this pennywort? I recognize it, there are a lot of them in the village, but isn't this a weed?" She held up one.

Shi Junyan's hands kept moving as he spoke, "It's also called Centella asiatica. It's a medicinal herb that helps dissipate water and dampness. It can be used to treat damp heat, and it can also be used in prescriptions for clearing heat and detoxifying..."

While he was speaking, Fang Nanzhi kept staring at him with her round eyes. After he finished speaking, she looked at the "grass" in her hand with surprise.

"So it's medicine, can it be sold for money?"

Shi Junyan nodded.

Fang Nanzhi was suddenly happy. She carefully put the Centella asiatica in her hand back and turned around to see if there were any other medicinal herbs she knew.

Shi Junyan stopped and calmly changed the direction of the Centella asiatica that Fang Nanzhi had taken, making it the same as the other grasses.

Mr. Zhou happened to see this scene from behind the window and shook his head.

This child is too obsessed with neatness and is too rigid, which is also a problem.

"Why is this grass white?"

“Is this dried ginger?”

Every time Fang Nanzhi asked, Shi Junyan would take a look at the herbs she pointed at and then answer, without any sign of impatience.

The important thing is that every time the girl listened, she looked at him seriously, which made Shi Junyan feel that she was not asking casually, and he did not feel any resistance.

"What's that up there?"

Shi Junyan raised his head and took it down from the shelf above, at an angle that Fang Nanzhi couldn't see it, and handed it to her.

“This is Gastrodia elata.”

Fang Nanzhi leaned over and smelled it.

"Hey, these herbs smell so good, like the mountains and the earth. Why do they taste so bitter when made into a decoction?"

Shi Junyan nodded slightly and put the Gastrodia elata in his hand back: "Many grasses are the same. They smell like grass and wood, but they taste bitter."

"Ding Di, I suggest the host include these five active medicinal herb plants!"

Fang Nanzhi was also stunned when he suddenly heard the system's voice.

Yes, it can be included! Health points can help her brother's legs heal faster, but... she doesn't recognize most of the herbs here, at least she hasn't seen them in the mountains.

At this time, Elder Zhou had just finished his acupuncture treatment, so she hurried over and asked, "Grandpa Zhou, where did you pick these herbs? Are there any in the nearby mountains?"

Mr. Zhou said with a smile: "If you want to collect herbs, you must first identify them. For example, you have to write down what you two just talked about."

Fang Nanzhi blinked: "Is what I just said enough? I have memorized it!"

Mr. Zhou was startled and walked out of the house: "Then what is this?"

Fang Nanzhi had been studying with Mr. Zheng for so long that she was used to the teacher asking questions as soon as he opened his mouth, so she answered in a clear voice.

"Grandpa Zhou's plantain seeds are good for diuresis, relieving stranguria, improving eyesight, clearing the lungs, and reducing phlegm."

She pointed out the one closest to her, starting with "Danggui, produces blood and nourishes the heart, strengthens the body and replenishes the damaged… Ziziphus jujuba seeds, soothe the mind and calm the nerves. Use them raw for excessive sleepiness, stir-fry for insomnia… To the left is Cornus officinalis, which nourishes the liver and kidneys…"

Every one of them was correct, and it was exactly what Shi Junyan told her, word for word.

As Old Zhou listened, her eyes became more and more surprised, and Shi Junyan also looked at her with an unclear gaze.

After she finished speaking, Mr. Zhou spoke excitedly, "Have you ever learned medicine, little girl?"

"No? The teacher never taught me." She shook her head obediently.

Mr. Zhou took two steps on the spot, looked up and said to Shi Junyan, "Go to my study in the front yard and help me get the herbal medicine!"

Shi Junyan responded calmly and brought it over soon. Old Zhou flipped the book open casually and said, "Here, take a look at these two pages. Remember as much as you can and tell me later."

Fang Nanzhi scratched his head: "Two pages will do?"

Mr. Zhou blinked, and Shi Junyan also raised his eyebrows slightly.

"When I went to the academy, the teacher took many pages of essays when he tested me."

As she said this, her eyes never stopped looking at the words.

After reading it twice, he asked, "Then I'll carry it on my back?"

"and many more."

Mr. Zhou suddenly interrupted her: "What does it say about tuberculosis in the two pages you read?"

Fang Nanzhi understands random tests, and this is what the teacher often does!

She blurted out without hesitation: "Tuberculosis. Use borax..."

Still word for word.

Mr. Zhou was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.

In his life, the only thing that had some value was his medical skills, but his biological son had mediocre talent. Everyone said that he was one in a million to be admitted to the Imperial Hospital, but he knew that it was just an official position and his medical skills had reached their limit.

The grandson was simply not interested in the art of medicine, but he studied seriously and planned to take the imperial examination and pursue a career in officialdom. Naturally, his family went along with him.
