Chapter 41 (2/2)

This time was different than yesterday . She had knocked only three times and the door had already opened . And that old man was sitting in the middle of the yard, looking at her with a serious expression .

The look in his eyes was scary . Even Jing Yunzhao was panicking .

“All of these herbs are good . Do you know what they’re used for?” the old man asked, gloomily .

Jing Yunzhao’s mouth twitched, “Pilose Asiabell Roots are often used for injuries in qi and water or the lack of qi and blood, and Cnidium monnieri are used often for warming the kidneys to invigorate the yang…”

(T/N: I know nothing about TCM . 党参常用于气津两伤或气血两亏，蛇床子多是温肾壮阳……)

“These goods of yours, their harvest isn’t from the right season . ” The old man acted as if he didn’t hear her say a single thing and continued, “Cnidium monnieri needs three dog days to prepare . That way, the medicine will be the most effective . You bringing them in right now is wrong . ”

It was currently spring . Where would you go to harvest these two herbs?

Jing Yunzhao heard this and her face instantly turned pale . She hadn’t thought about that much .

“Old Man Xu, then I’ll take these Cnidium monnieri back . I’m not selling them anymore . ” Jing Yunzhao said, worried the old man would continue to ask her about the harvesting .

“Leave it . It’s some good stuff,” the old man shot a glance at Jing Yunzhao and continued, “Come with me . ”

After saying that and without waiting for Jing Yunzhao’s response, he headed towards the backyard . Jing Yunzhao was confused . She thought about it but still quickly followed him . The old man wasn’t slow . The backyard was like a huge shed . Its terrain was rather high . The ground had damp-proof limestone . Medicinal materials were everywhere .

“Don’t even know the growing/harvesting season of the medicinal materials . Who would buy medicine from you in the future? From now on, come here every day to learn . The way of the medicine is still long . You have some good things in your hands . Don’t ruin them . ” The old man’s expression didn’t change, making it hard to understand his purpose .

But looking at those medicinal materials, Jing Yunzhao felt a bit excited .

The jade pieces also have things about preparing medicinal materials, but things she’s learning and the things she’s seeing with her own eyes are completely different things!
