Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 159 Gathering Coptis chinensis

The next morning, after Lin Yunlan left...

Lu Qingqing then went to find the village chief, Lin Feng.

Discuss the matter of identifying medicinal herbs with him.

Lu Qingqing said seriously:

Uncle Lin Feng,

I see so many people coming to learn how to identify medicinal herbs.

If everyone went into the mountains to identify medicinal herbs,

It's really inconvenient.

What do you think we should do?

Village chief Lin Feng stroked his chin.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"This is indeed a difficult problem."

It's really unrealistic for everyone to go into the mountains.

If anything happens, there won't even be time to run.

My dear, how about we do this?

Some people stayed in the village to ask each other questions and learn the medical knowledge they had previously studied.

Then we selected a group of people to go into the mountains with us to identify medicinal herbs.

When we get back, we'll have those who didn't go into the mountains go in batches to identify the medicinal herbs.

What do you think?

Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying:

"Uncle Lin Feng, I think this is a good idea!"

But with so many people

"It still needs someone to take the lead in management."

Lin Feng smiled in agreement:

"Qingqing, you're right."

How about we divide the villagers into several small teams first?

Then select a few squad leaders to be in charge of their respective squads.

This should make management much easier.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's suggestion, Lu Qingqing

His eyes lit up immediately:

"Uncle Lin Feng, your idea is absolutely brilliant!"

The people were divided into small teams, each led by a team leader.

That way, everyone can study in a more organized way.

We need to choose our squad leaders carefully.

You need to choose one that teaches medical theory quickly.

Someone who can also take good care of the team members.

Raymond Lam nodded in agreement:

"Yes, of course."

I think our village's Zhuzi and Aunt Li,

Liu Sheng and Liu Guihua are quite good.

They learn medical knowledge quickly and are also very kind-hearted.

Let them be squad leaders to manage the team.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

Lu Qingqing pondered for a moment,

Feeling that these people were indeed suitable, he said:

"Okay, it's settled then."

But Uncle, you are the village chief.

I think it would be better if you went and told them.

Let me also tell you about the specific arrangements.

People will definitely be more convinced if you step in.

"Can I just stand by and help out?"

Raymond Lam smiled and waved his hand:

"Look at you, child, you're being so polite with me."

"Okay, then I'll go talk to them."

After saying that, Lin Feng led Lu Qingqing to find Zhu Zi and Liu Sheng.

Aunt Li and Liu Guihua wanted them to be the team leaders.

He recounted in detail how he was responsible for leading the villagers in learning to identify medicinal herbs.

When the group heard that they would be made squad leaders,

Their faces were beaming with pride.

They all readily agreed.

Then, Lin Feng stood on a slightly higher earthen slope.

He loudly called out to the villagers, who all gathered around.

After everyone had gathered around, Lin Feng raised his voice and said:

"Listen up, everyone, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters!"

Today we're going into the mountains to learn about medicinal herbs.

Because it's inconvenient with so many people.

So I decided to divide everyone into two groups: those who stayed in the village and those who went into the mountains.

Those of you staying in the village, don't just sit idle.

They asked each other questions and discussed, exploring herbal knowledge together;

The arrangement and management were handled by two team leaders, Aunt Li and Liu Guihua.

People going into the mountains

They were led by two squad leaders, Zhu Zi and Liu Sheng.

Everyone must follow the captain's instructions; safety comes first.

Let's strive to learn real skills!

The villagers echoed their agreement, creating a lively atmosphere.

Before long, both groups were ready.

Those who remained in the village quickly sat down together.

They began a lively discussion about herbal knowledge, each offering their own perspective.

As for the teams heading into the mountains, they were led by their respective team leaders.

I went into the mountains with Lu Qingqing and Lin Feng to learn how to identify medicinal herbs.

Chunlan and the others were originally full of anticipation to go with Lu Qingqing.

The excitement was like that of someone about to explore a mysterious treasure.

But Lu Qingqing looked at the huge crowd,

He thought to himself, "There are so many people today."

Taking care of them is not easy in itself.

If we bring Chunlan and the others along, it will inevitably distract us.

So, she said gently to Chunlan and the others:

"Spring orchids, autumn chrysanthemums, there are too many people today."

It's difficult to take care of someone in the mountains.

Shuang'er knows quite a bit about herbs even at home.

You stay home with Shuang'er.

"And you can learn a thing or two from her, okay?"

Although a hint of disappointment flashed in Chunlan and the others' eyes,

But she still nodded understandingly:

"Alright, miss, we'll do as you say."

Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile

"Qingqing, don't go too deep into the mountains."

There are all sorts of wild animals in the mountains; it's not safe.

Lu Qingqing looked at Wang Xiuxiu gratefully.

He nodded in agreement:

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

We'll just wander around the outer edge of the mountain; we won't go deep inside.

Moreover, the village chief and several squad leaders were present.

They can take care of things.

Raymond Lam also chimed in from the side:

"Xiuxiu, don't worry."

I will take good care of everyone.

Wang Xiuxiu was still a little worried and added:

"Then you must be very careful, in case anything happens."

Run back quickly!

Lu Qingqing stepped forward and took Wang Xiuxiu's arm.

Say affectionately:

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Don't overwork yourself at home.

If you need anything, just ask Chunlan and the others.

Wang Xiuxiu patted Lu Qingqing's hand:

"Don't worry, everything's fine at home."

And Dot Dot and Bean Dot,

That's Lu Qingqing's "little follower".

He hopped and skipped along, volunteering to go into the mountains with Lu Qingqing and the others.

Lu Qingqing smiled and patted their heads.

That's considered an agreement.

At this moment, the squad leader, Zhu Zi, shouted from the front:

"Qingqing, Village Chief, everyone's here."

"We can set off now."

Lu Qingqing responded and looked at Wang Xiuxiu again:

"Sister-in-law, let's head into the mountains then."

Wang Xiuxiu waved her hand:

"Go quickly, and be careful."

that's it,

The group heading into the mountains set off in a lively and enthusiastic manner.

Along the way, the villagers chatted and laughed.

I am filled with curiosity and anticipation about the various herbs I will soon discover in the mountains.

Diandian and Doudou, like two loyal little guards, stayed close to Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing would occasionally exchange a few words with Lin Feng beside her.

They also reminded the team leaders to pay attention to the safety of their team members.

As you step into the forest, the fresh scent of grass and trees wafts over you.

Lu Qingqing stopped in front of a clump of plants with slender leaves and pale purple flowers.

He gently squatted down and beckoned the villagers to gather around.

Dian Dian and Dou Dou curiously squeezed to the front.

"Look everyone, this is Viola yedoensis."

As Lu Qingqing spoke, she gently parted the leaves.

The entire plant is now visible.

Its leaves are oblong with serrated edges.

The flowers are this delicate purple.

This is a very good medicine.

It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling the blood and reducing swelling.

The villagers crowded around to observe more closely.

Some even whispered to themselves as they memorized the features.

The pillar asked:

"Qingqing,

Should we just pull them out?

Lu Qingqing patiently explained:

"Please be careful when you are picking them."

Gently scoop it up from the base with a small shovel.

Try to keep the plant intact. Look, everyone.

As she spoke, she picked up a shovel and demonstrated.

With practiced ease, she picked a violet flower.

Put it in the basket.

They continued on, and in a damp place,

Lu Qingqing stopped in her tracks.

Pointing to a clump of emerald green, feather-like plants, he said:

"Fellow villagers, this is moneywort."

Its leaves are round, like copper coins.

This is also the key to identifying it.

Moneywort can promote urination, relieve strangury, clear heat and detoxify.

It's very helpful for treating kidney stones.

One villager opened his eyes wide and asked:

"Qingqing, how do we pick this grass?"

"Do you also pick them all, roots and leaves included?"

Lu Qingqing smiled and replied:

"For moneywort, just pinch off the tender stems and leaves."

Please be careful not to damage other plants nearby.

The villagers followed her instructions,

Pick them carefully.

while walking,

Lu Qingqing discovered another Coptis chinensis plant.

Call everyone over.

Lu Qingqing said:

This medicinal herb is called Coptis chinensis.

It is a commonly used medicine, and it tastes extremely bitter.

The saying goes, "A mute eating bitter melon, unable to express the suffering."

That's what I'm talking about.

It has the effects of clearing heat and drying dampness.

Like when we get an upset stomach,

Symptoms include damp-heat in the stomach and intestines, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Coptis chinensis can be very useful.

Using Coptis chinensis in medicine can effectively relieve gastrointestinal discomfort.

Relieves diarrhea symptoms.

In addition, Coptis chinensis is also good at purging heat and detoxifying.

If someone gets a sore throat or fever

Swollen and painful gums, mouth ulcers,

Or you may have boils or carbuncles on your body.

Use Coptis chinensis to treat it.

It can effectively reduce internal heat and detoxify.

It helps reduce swelling and pain, leaving the body feeling refreshed.

in addition,

For some people experiencing irritability and insomnia due to excessive heart fire...

Coptis chinensis can also help, as it can clear heart fire.

It calms the mind and improves sleep.

When harvesting Coptis chinensis, please be careful.

You need to use tools to dig deep and remove its roots and stems completely.

Because the main medicinal part of Coptis chinensis is its yellow rhizome.

Only by harvesting the entire plant can its medicinal efficacy be guaranteed.
