Space And Rebirth 41 - The Wrong Season

Su Chu pouted her mouth, confused. She and biaoge had been studying medical books since they were little. They might be a bit dumb, but they had been doing it been at for years. They had some skills and knowledge. When push comes to shove, they can handle those tests, but Jing Yunzhao…

Her grades might be excellent, but the information in medical books are wide and hard to understand. Even now, Su Chu still doesn't understand those ancient phrases and words. So the Jing Yunzhao who hasn't even touched upon the medical subjects would have even less knowledge!

"You're doomed. You're doomed…biaojie, you don't know this but grandpa's standards towards medicine are super strict. When it's test time, don't ever write random things if you don't know the answer. Even submitting a blank paper would be better than guessing!"

Su Chu looked at Jing Yunzhao with an expression of pity, as if she could foresee what Jing Yunzhao will go through later.

Regarding medicine, even though Jing Yunzhao wasn't proficient yet, but she knows enough of the basic stuff.

Her starting point was higher than others. If there was something she couldn't remember, she could just search through the jade piece and then try her best to comprehend it.

Even if she currently doesn't understand something, those things in her head won't disappear for a good while.

Su Chu, of course, didn't know about that advantage. Since that conversational topic has been opened, she kept complaining about it.

Listening to her, it seemed that Grandpa Gan's punishments were really severe. If a blank paper was submitted, then that would mean you didn't study. The punishment would be to copy a medical book a few times.

But if a paper full of guesses and nonsense was submitted, Grandpa Gan would think that their att.i.tude was not right. Then, not only would their allowance be cut, they would also be brought home to be supervised. Grandpa Gan would also lecture them on how to be a better person and such and also take them for morning runs every day. Their clothing and meals would also be monitored.

Towards this G.o.d-grandpa of hers, Jing Yunzhao felt admiration. In this time and age, doctors with such medical ethics as him were rare.

The next day, school happened as usual. When evening came, Jing Yunzhao went to the back alley as promised, carrying a basket of Cnidium monnieri.

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…"

"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!
