Chapter 70 Medicine Garden Plan

The medicinal soup brewed from this herb is basically impossible to taste, but as the saying goes, good medicine is bitter and good for the disease. After each of them took a bowl of medicinal soup and slept again, the next morning, the three of them took the same medicine

According to the statement, each of them indeed felt a lot better.

One of them even said that he seemed to be completely fine.

Zhou Xu nodded after hearing this report.

"Just in case, let him rest for another day and take medicine for another day. Divide it into three times, morning, noon and evening, and deliver them to him."

The most fearful thing about colds is that they are not cured completely and then keep recurring, which is very frustrating.

After you feel better, you can't relax and be careless. It is still necessary to consolidate.

Zhou Xu had already demonstrated the process of cooking medicine yesterday. It was basically not a technical job. To put it bluntly, you just had to pay attention to the fire.

In fact, it is more than enough to leave this matter to two apprentices.

However, in order to gain experience, Ye Yan decided to cook it himself first.

In this regard, Zhou Xu followed him.

After breakfast, he took two young followers and walked outside the camp.

These two followers, one named Zhang Xiaoshan and the other named Li Shitou, are both very ordinary two-star ordinary people with five-dimensional panels. Their talents are also very average, but their hands and feet are quite nimble.

As the size of the tribe and the number of people continued to increase, Zhou Xu also needed someone who could help him run errands and deliver orders at any time, so he chose these two people.

Walking all the way to the farming area outside the camp, thanks to the addition of this new group of people, the farming team that originally had only one seedling was officially expanded to three people. The increase in staff significantly improved the working efficiency of the farming team.

During this period, Zhou Xu's arrival did not have much impact on their work.

After a simple salute, he quickly devoted himself to the work in front of him, which was also Zhou Xu's own request.

Looking at the farming area marked out in front of him, he fell into deep thought.

Yesterday when he was cooking medicine, he mentioned to Ye Yan that he was growing herbal medicine. This was not a casual mention.

Taking into account the long-term development, if their tribe encounters any situation in the future and is in urgent need of herbs, or even a large amount of herbs, do they really expect to temporarily go to the wild to search and pick them?

That would be too inefficient.

Therefore, according to Zhou Xu's thinking, planting it yourself is the most stable and reliable way.

Although we haven't found any vegetables and fruits that can be planted yet, some of the initial preparations for farming have been done.

In other words, the cultivation of herbs can begin at any time.

The issue that Zhou Xu needs to consider now is where to place this medicine garden and how to do it specifically.

After all, he really didn't expect from the beginning that his medical department and Yaoyuanzi would be established so soon.

He now has two ideas.

The first idea is to place the medicine garden and the working area of ​​the medical department together, allowing the medical department to conduct their own research, cultivate herbal farmers, plant and cultivate various herbal medicines, and form a complete system within them.

As for the second idea, it would naturally be to hand over the medicinal garden to the Ministry of Agriculture, and carve out a piece of the plowed agricultural land in front of us for growing medicinal herbs.

In this way, the medical department no longer has to worry about the cultivation of herbal medicines, and can devote itself wholeheartedly to the research on the medicinal properties of various herbal medicines.

After thinking about the two ideas, Zhou Xu was still more inclined to the second idea.

The most important thing for the medical department is to study the medicinal properties of herbal medicines and find more herbal medicines, rather than to study the cultivation of herbal medicines.

The matter of planting and cultivating medicinal herbs should be left to the agricultural department.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu waved to the two followers who were accompanying him. The two immediately understood. One person was responsible for spreading the animal skins on the ground, while the other person took out special plants and mashed them to obtain the juice, and then dipped a branch pen into it.

He dipped it and handed it to Zhou Xu.

What is painted on this animal skin is mainly the blueprint of their camp.

Taking the branch pen, Zhou Xu, after thinking about it for a while, directly drew out a piece of the originally drawn farming area, and then wrote the word "medicine garden".

Make arrangements at the same time...

"Go and notify the farming team to make preparations for the official start of work. Use this piece of land that has been plowed. Then ask the three people from the farming team to gather outside the camp."

After saying that, Zhou Xu got up and returned to the camp directly.

At this time, Ye Yan had already prepared the medicine and sent it to the three patients.

Zhou Xu didn't talk nonsense when he saw it, and directly moved his hand.

"Ye Yan, come with me to collect herbs. It's time to start the planting of medicinal materials that I mentioned before."

Ye Yan was already very concerned about this matter, but now that Zhou Xu mentioned it, he suddenly became energetic and ran over quickly.

After taking Ye Yan and his two apprentices to meet with the three members of the farming team outside the camp, including Zhou Xu and his two followers, the group of nine people officially set off soon.

This herb grows everywhere outside the camp, and it is not difficult to pick a sufficient quantity now.

"Everyone, please pay attention. What we are going to pick back this time is not just the herbs above. We are going to dig them back completely together with the roots growing in the soil."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he used the short-handled stone hoe in his hand to dig up the surrounding soil, dug out a whole herb along with the soil, and held it in the palm of his hand.

"It's almost like this."

While talking, Zhou Xu put the herb into the basket next to him after letting Ye Yan and the others take a good look at it.

In this process, Ye Yan basically does not need to do it himself. After all, the only person who can accurately and efficiently find medicinal herbs from this large swath of weeds is Ye Yan.

So for this operation, Ye Yan's main task was to point out the herbs to them, and the hands-on work was naturally left to others, so that efficiency could be improved.

Otherwise, it would be too slow to let these newbies find it by themselves.

Zhou Xu didn't carry it himself, so everyone started working together, and soon filled the baskets behind him and Ye Yan.

At this time, it was just past noon.

Carrying baskets filled with herbs on their backs, everyone rushed directly to the farming area without returning to the camp.

There is not much to say about planting. The land has been plowed in advance. All you need to do is plant the herbs.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is watering.

Zhou Xu doesn't have much experience in raising plants, so what he can teach them is basically that watering should be done in the morning and evening, and not when the sun is shining brightly.

In addition, watering should not be poured directly, but should be poured at the bottom, which is a matter of common sense.

However, this herb can grow everywhere when it grows naturally, which means it is easy to maintain and there won't be any big problems.
