Bai Shanbao didn't notice anything wrong, but happily said to her: "My grandmother promised you to go to my house to read, what book do you want to read?"
"I don't know, let's see what books you have at home." Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Is there any book specifically about concocting medicinal materials?"
"You want to concoct medicinal materials?" Bai Shanbao said, "Just go to the pharmacy to buy medicine."
"Where did the medicine in that pharmacy come from?"
Bai Shanbao looked at her innocently, how did he know where it came from
Man Bao said solemnly: "I sold it to them, as long as I learn how to process medicinal materials, I can sell it to them."
Bai Shanbao became curious, and said with a snort: "So your house grows medicinal materials."
Now Chang Manbao was surprised, "It turns out that medicinal materials are also grown."
The two children looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a while.
Finally, they took this question to ask Mr.
Mr. Zhuang didn't know why they asked about medicinal materials, but he still answered their questions, "Some medicinal materials can be planted, but most of them are wild."
Mr. Zhuang said: "There are many medicinal materials in the wild, and some people will collect them and send them to the drugstore. Such people are called herbal collectors, and some rural doctors are also engaged in this industry."
Mr. Zhuang led the two children to the back of the school, pointed to a clump of weeds on the ground and said, "Look, this is a herbal medicine."
Bai Shanbao didn't know it, but Man Bao did. She said happily, "This is Centella asiatica, also called Thunder Kola!"
She dialed it to Keke when she was very young, so there is an entry for it in the system.
Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded, "The two names are not wrong, but in the medical books it is called Dichonium. It is cold in nature and bitter in taste, and enters the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians. It can cure heatstroke diarrhea, damp-heat jaundice and fall Even if you are free, you can pull it out and dry it in the sun and send it to the pharmacy."
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Every summer, Jishitang burns a large barrel of ground money grass water and puts it in front of the medicine shop for passers-by and merchants to cool off and detoxify."
Man Bao is very interested in making money now, because the fish and meat sent by the Bai family will be finished today, and she has already told her mother that she will kill the big rooster tomorrow.
But the mother refused, saying that if the rooster was killed, the eggs laid by the hen would not be able to hatch the chicks. Manbao had no choice but to buy another chicken.
So I squatted down to look at the Centella asiatica with special interest. In fact, she is no stranger to this grass. There are behind her house, ridges and fields, and because it can be seen everywhere, she pulled it out a long time ago. Keke entered.
Man Bao asked enthusiastically, "Sir, how much does this herb shop charge per catty?"
Mr. Zhuang was asked. He really didn’t know. It’s just that in his memory, when he was very young, his elder brother who led the family always pulled it out, took it back and dried it, and then sold it in big bags at the drugstore. .
Mr. Zhuang murmured: "Next time Mr. returns to the city, I can help you to ask."
Man Bao became happy, and whispered to Bai Shanbao, "Let's pull the centella asiatica after class."
Bai Shanbao shook his head and said, "I don't need to earn money."
Man Bao asked, "Then do you have money?"
Bai Shanbao said confidently: "No! But my mother has."
"It's so embarrassing. Every time I want to spend money, I still ask my mother for it. Since I was sensible, I didn't ask my parents for money. I have my own money."
Bai Shanbao didn't think there was anything wrong with asking his mother for money. Anyway, his mother said that all the money in the family belonged to him. Since it was all his, he could spend it as he wanted.
But Man Bao didn't think so. She told him, "Only what you earn is your own. If you use other people's money, even if it is given to you, the other party can take it back at any time, and you still have a guilty conscience."
Man Bao also racked his brains to give him an example, "For example, my fourth brother, the money in my family is pooled and used, but it is not his own, so he lost the bet before, although the family also took the money I paid him back, but he didn't earn the money himself, and if he broke the family's money, he would be annoyed and rejected."
Man Bao said: "You don't have your own money, if you spend more in the future, your mother will despise you too."
Bai Shanbao didn't believe it, "No way, my mother said, all my family's money is given to me."
Keke said that she is the smartest person. This conclusion is the conclusion she came to after observing for a long time. How could it be wrong
So she snorted and said, "If you don't believe me, go back and ask your mother to ask her to give you all the money immediately, if she is willing."
Bai Shanbao said: "My mother is definitely willing."
Man Bao: "She must not want to!"
"willing!"
"I don't want to!"
Bai Shanbao glared at her, while Man Bao stared back, not to be outdone.
Mr. Zhuang who was completely ignored: ...
He was about to say something, but Bai Shanbao suddenly snorted loudly, turned his head, and turned his back, saying: "I won't be with you, I won't take you back to my house to study after school today."
"If you don't come back, you won't come back," Man Bao pinched his waist angrily and said, "You are not allowed to go to my house anymore."
So the two children hummed each other, turned around and went back to the classroom eight feet away.
Mr. Zhuang who was left behind: ...
He looked at the backs of the two angry disciples, shook his head and laughed twice, feeling that there was endless interest, so he didn't bother to mediate, and leisurely returned to the classroom with his hands behind his back.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao really broke up. They didn't speak for the whole class, but the voices of reading were overshadowed by each other. It was like a competition. When answering questions in class, they rushed to answer, and then stared at each other when they couldn't catch each other. looking at each other.
Mr. Zhuang looked at their childlike state, and couldn't help but suppress his smile.
After school, the two of them no longer ran out together, but walked out with their own books.
The big head was still squatting outside to pick up Sister-in-law, and when he saw Sister-in-law come out, he was very happy to meet him, "Sister-in-law, are we going to Master Bai's house?"
"No, I won't be with him."
"Ah?" Datou immediately asked, "Did he bully you?"
Man Bao snorted, "Can he bully me? It's obvious that he is so stupid that he still doesn't believe my conclusion. I'm the smartest person within a thousand miles."
The big head knew that they were quarreling, not fighting.
The big head was not nervous anymore, he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, sister-in-law is the smartest."
Hearing these words was a perfunctory consolation, but Man Bao didn't hear it, he only thought that the big head was sincere, and nodded in agreement.
Bai Shanbao was not in the mood to play any more, and ran back home angrily.
Liu Shi and Zheng Shi didn't expect the child to come back from school so early today. In the past, he would play outside for more than half an hour, and didn't come back until it was getting dark.
Mrs. Liu glanced outside, but she didn't see the little girl, so she asked with a smile, "Shanbao, didn't you say that your friend is going to come home to read a book today? Why didn't you come?"
