At night, the children are suffering and cannot sleep well, and the adults can't even think about getting a sound sleep.

Fan yourself all night to drive away mosquitoes.

But the next day, the children were still covered in bites and their appetite had decreased.

Seeing this situation, Yang Ruoqing couldn't sit still.

After a night of careful consideration, she took the old village doctor Fu Bo and several people from the herb collection team to the mountains early the next morning.

We set out in the morning with dry food and didn't go back to the village until sunset.

Then, there were about a dozen bamboo baskets filled with green grass, leaves, and vines.

There were also yellow, white, and various named and unknown wild flowers, all appearing in her house.

"Qing'er, what are you trying to do?"

Luo Fengtang came from the workman's house across the river canal and came directly to her room without even taking a sip of tea.

"I heard that your herb collection team entered the mountain today. Is this the result?"

He squatted down next to her and asked curiously.

Yang Ruoqing was squatting on the ground, burying her head in picking up the flowers and plants in the bamboo basket in front of her.

Hearing this, she said without raising her head: "Well, I went into the mountain specifically to pick these!"

Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, can you tell me what the flowers and plants in these baskets are used for?"

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and smiled, then she pointed at the flowers, plants and vines in the basket one by one and introduced them to him one by one.

"This is mosquito repellent, this is mint, this is fragrant leaf, that is geranium..."

"Well, those baskets over there are all filled with Chinese herbal medicine."

"I will extract the essence of these flowers and plants later to make toilet water that repels mosquitoes and relieves itching," she said.

Luo Fengtang's eyes lit up.

"Is that kind of toilet water similar to the mugwort and cattail sachet you gave me to wear during the Dragon Boat Festival?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Smart, that's right!"

Then, she continued: "There are too many mosquitoes, and all the adults and children in the house were bitten terribly."

"When I woke up after a nap, I saw that Mianmian had gained a lot of weight from being bitten."

"With this mosquito repellent, it will be much better!"

Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Luo Fengtang also became interested.

"What else? Are all these used to make toilet water?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and shook her head.

"Of course not!"

"To be precise, I plan to make three types of water."

"One is toilet water, used to repel mosquitoes."

"For the second one, I plan to extract the essence based on toilet water and add different flower essences to make a perfume."

"At that time, toilet water will be sold in shops at a price acceptable to ordinary people."

"As for the perfume, it takes the high-end route."

She had paid attention to the markets in Daqi, Daliao in the north, and Licheng in the south.

There are a lot of spices in the rouge gouache shop.

Ladies also like to burn various incense in their boudoirs.

However, when it comes to perfume, no one has researched it yet.

As long as she makes toilet water and perfume, then cooperates with Zuo Junmo and brings them to the market together.

Hey, from low-end to high-end, cast a net and catch all the big fish and small shrimps.

When the time comes, the money will come rolling in.

And Mianniu Mountain is most indispensable for these raw materials.

"Qing'er, I think your idea is a success!"

Luo Fengtang's words of praise brought her thoughts back.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what is this last water and what is it used for?" he asked again.

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and said: "The last one, I plan to make disinfectant."

"Disinfectant water?" Luo Fengtang was surprised.

Yang Ruoqing nodded and said with a serious face: "When the flood came, a lot of things were submerged, and the corpses of many poultry and livestock rotted in the water."

"When the flood recedes, a lot of germs will definitely breed everywhere."

"When the time comes, people in poor health, the elderly and children will be most susceptible to infection and illness."

"So I have to hurry up and develop disinfectant to kill bacteria before that happens," she said.

Hearing her worries, Luo Fengtang's face turned serious.

"Your concerns are legitimate, indeed."

"Qing'er, seeing how hard you worked so hard to make these, is there anything I can do? You can allocate some to me too!"

Luo Fengtang begged.

Yang Ruoqing smiled at him and blinked: "Silly boy, you wake up early and work till late at night digging canals, aren't you tired?"

He shook his head: "Digming a canal is digging a canal, but I still want to do something with you."

"Hao Qing'er, just give me a chance and give me some work!"

"When I have free time, I can help you do something."

Seeing the sincere plea on his face, Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment.

"Let's do this. When you dig the canal later, if you see snakes in the nearby ditch, help me catch some," she said.

"What do you want a snake for?" Luo Fengtang asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Take their snake gallbladder and add it to the toilet water."

Luo Fengtang: "..."

Yang Ruoqing continued: "There is a saying in medical books: snake gall is cool in nature and bitter in taste. It can dispel wind and dampness, cool and improve eyesight, detoxify and remove prickly heat."

Luo Fengtang nodded without hesitation: "Since it is a good thing that can be put to use, isn't it simple?"

"It's a flood right now, and everything is lacking except for those snakes."

"I'm going to dig a canal tomorrow and bring a deep bucket and basket with me. I promise to catch a basket for you and bring it home!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and added a few words to him.

The general idea is to teach him which types of snakes to catch. Some snakes that are highly venomous should not be caught.

In fact, the gallbladder of any snake can be used as medicine.

In particular, the gallbladders of these highly venomous snakes, such as the bungara and the five-step snake, are precious medicinal materials.

However, she didn't want him to put himself in danger, so she only told him to catch some water snakes, black snakes, small pythons and the like.

…

The next day, Yang Ruoqing led the herb collection team into the mountain as usual.

When she returned home in the evening, Luo Fengtang and the others also called it a day.

Sure enough, he brought back most of the basket of snakes.

The pieces are tangled together, and lifting them out is like carrying a bundle of nylon threads.

However, the thread squirms, and when it squirms, the scales rub against each other and make a sizzling sound.

All the women in the yard were so frightened that most of them lost their minds. They all looked at her from a distance and did not dare to get close at all.

Even a tough woman like Da Sun was yelling and making her scalp feel cold.

"Qing'er, why did you ask Tangyazi to bring back so many snakes?"

Da Sun couldn't help but ask.
