Chen An'an was surprised. He looked at Chen Xinwu opposite who was eating with gusto, and couldn't help but sigh that children have such strong powers of observation.

As soon as Chen Xinwu finished speaking, the second aunt, who was eating silently, suddenly had a strange expression on her face.

She looked at Chen An'an with strange eyes, "That's right, your daily exercise is so intense, how can you do it without taking some supplements!"

As for what supplements to take, she didn't go into details, but the expression on her face seemed to tell Chen An'an that you were studying medicine and you knew all about it.

"Yes, practicing martial arts requires stretching your muscles and bones. As the saying goes, if you are deficient, you will make up for it, and if you are strong, you will purge it. To be safe, you must not just focus on exercise and forget to replenish your body in time." At this time, the second uncle did not forget.

remind.

"Okay, I understand." Chen An'an looked at everyone with a reassuring look, "I plan to go to the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow. We are all in deep mountains and old forests, so there must be a lot of herbs, right?"

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, "There are a lot of herbal medicines, and no one of our generation has gone to the mountains to dig up herbal medicines. You are a medical student, and I won't stop you, but I still have to remind you that some medicines look like

It looks very real, but it tastes very poisonous, so you must be careful when digging it."

"That's right! It's hard work to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and it's easy to dig the wrong medicine. It would be bad if you find poison. I suggest that your second uncle help you go to the town to prescribe a supplement. This is the safest way!"

Second Aunt suggested.

Chen Anping smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Nowadays, with the advanced technology, I can still search online for Chinese medicines that I am really not sure about. So don't worry about me."

After several people finished dinner, the simple main room became quiet again.

After exercising for most of the day, Chen An realized that his exercise had no effect, so he stopped exercising and started practicing Tai Chi sword.

An hour later, he suddenly felt exhausted physically and mentally. After seeing that his Tai Chi sword proficiency had only improved by 1 point, Chen An'an stopped.

Chen An'an went to bed early and woke up early at dawn.

He didn't have a backpack at home, only a few snakeskin bags, so he prepared two snakeskin bags to serve as backpacks for holding Chinese medicine.

After washing up and eating breakfast, Chen Anping set off early.

A large part of the reason why Chen An'an is unwilling to go to the drugstore to buy medicine is that buying medicine costs a lot of money. Now that he has very little savings left, he must find a way to make money.

And harvesting Chinese medicine is the method he can think of now.

When he was working in the county town, he had to pass an old street on the way.

Every early morning when people are busy, that old street will be filled with customers buying traditional Chinese medicine and merchants selling traditional Chinese medicine.

Almost all the Chinese medicines they sell are collected by themselves.

Chen Anping had heard that merchants selling herbal medicines could make hundreds of dollars in one morning. But those herbal medicines basically cost nothing, and at most they only cost you some effort and time.

Chen An'an's first target was the mountain directly in front of Aubei Village - Aobei Mountain.

The fog lingers here all year round, and it looks quite mysterious. The old people who have passed away long ago once said that there are tigers and goblins in the mountains.

Chen Anping naturally did not believe such lies to deceive children.

Along the way, Chen Anping discovered that the most common herb was plantain.

However, plantain was too cheap and did not have much mining value, so he chose to ignore it.

"This is?"

When Chen Anping went to bed last night, he used his mobile phone to look up the common Chinese herbal medicines in the south and roughly remembered them, especially those for bruises and tonics.

Chen Anping turned on his phone and searched for information about Rehmannia glutinosa.

After a while, information related to Rehmannia glutinosa was displayed on the phone.

Comparing the two, they look exactly the same.

"What a great start!"

Chen Ping'an took out his hoe and dug up the rehmannia glutinosa on the ground.

Sure enough, after a while he dug up fresh rehmannia glutinosa that looked like ginseng.

Chen Ping'an put the fresh rehmannia glutinosa into the snakeskin bag prepared in advance and continued to look for other herbs. "It's a pity that we are in the south and there is no ginseng digging."

Chen Ping'an felt a little regretful. Today's ginseng is basically artificially planted forest ginseng, and its medicinal effect is very different from the pure wild ginseng in ancient times. It would be best if he could dig ginseng in the wild.

However, the south is better than the south. In terms of the number of wild Chinese medicinal materials, the north cannot compare with the south.

Along the way, Chen Ping'an dug up a lot of Chinese herbal medicines such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Polygonatum sibiricum, Water chestnut, Five-clawed peach and so on.

When he returned home, the snakeskin bag in his hand was already full of fresh Chinese herbal medicine.

Chen An'an, who had just returned home, was not idle either. He ran directly to his second uncle's house and called his nephew over.

Cleaning and sorting these Chinese medicinal materials takes a lot of time, and Chen Anping doesn't want to waste time here.

Chen Xinwu was also smart enough to go to the homes of some of his playmates and call over the boy with a snotty nose and the boy with missing front teeth.

After briefly explaining how to clean and classify these Chinese herbal medicines, these little kids got started very quickly, and soon started to use them in a decent manner.

Wash the Polygonatum japonica, slice it into slices and dry it.

As for fresh rehmannia, it needs to be washed and dried. If you want to make nourishing cooked rehmannia, you need to go through the complicated process of steaming and drying.

Chen Anping checked the market situation of Rehmannia glutinosa last night. The price of dried Rehmannia glutinosa is about 20 to 27 yuan per kilogram, while the price of cooked rehmannia glutinosa is about 30 yuan per kilogram. In other words, cooked rehmannia glutinosa is not more expensive than raw rehmannia glutinosa.

How many.

It is recorded in "Lei Gong Pao Zhi Lun" that the best cooked rehmannia must be steamed and dried for nine times before it can be used as medicine.

What is nine-steaming and nine-drying? Simply put, it means steaming until soft and then drying, then continuing to steam until soft, and continuing to dry in the sun. This process lasts nine times.

The cooked rehmannia on the market is probably great even if it is steamed and sun-dried three times.

This time, Chen Anping plans to engage in ancient cooking.

The sliced ​​Polygonatum japonica was placed in front of Chen An'an's house to dry in the sun.

The rehmannia glutinosa has all been put on the pot and is being steamed in a steamer.

It was approaching noon, and the little kids were exhausted. Chen Anping was too embarrassed to continue asking them to help here, so he had to let them go back first.

By the afternoon, Chen An'an's Polygonatum japonica was basically dry. He picked up about half a kilogram of Polygonatum japonica, put it directly into his mouth, and started chewing it.

Sweet, a bit like eating dried sweet potatoes...

At the same time, Chen Anping suddenly noticed that his whole body began to feel warm, as if a wave of heat was spreading from his stomach to his whole body. At the same time, his sore and swollen muscles began to gradually decline, replaced by bones and muscles all over his body.

It's extremely easy.

Sure enough, excessive exercise has led to a physical deficit, and it seems that we must make up for it!
