The Lan family finally decided on a date, and chose the 21st of the twelfth lunar month among the three days reported by the old Zhou family.

There were not many guests at home this time, just a few nearby ones and people the old Zhou family knew in the capital.

Manbao basically only invited doctors from Jishitang and Yin or a few.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and recently there are a lot of people holding weddings and marrying wives to go home to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Shopkeeper Zheng Da has had eight weddings in the past three months. When he came over this time and saw Zhou Man's nephews and nieces who were still in the same year, he felt that his money was empty.

It hurts a little.

Looking at his son who had just returned to the capital not long ago, shopkeeper Zheng Da calmed down and strolled over to find Zhou Man, "Mr. Zhou."

Man Bao was clasping his hands to watch the guests pouring wine into Zhou Liwei (Second Head). When he heard this, he turned his head and his eyes brightened, "Shopkeeper Zheng, I was just looking for you. My niece said that the Poria cocos she bought from you is gone?"

Shopkeeper Zheng Da curled his lips and said: "What do you mean it's gone? It's because your niece bought it all."

He said: "The medicine shops here in the capital always have some spare parts. The workshop built by your niece has stolen a lot of medicinal materials from me in the past two months."

There are only a few medicinal materials needed for ointments and creams. Therefore, the prices of several medicinal materials purchased in large quantities by Zhou Lijun in the capital have recently increased. Shopkeeper Zheng is still worried. The prescriptions using those medicinal herbs are more expensive than before.

Some, some patients who took the medicine secretly complained.

When Man Bao heard this, he sighed and said: "First, transportation is really inconvenient now, and second, medicinal materials are now wild and few are grown by oneself, so medicinal materials are very valuable."

Shopkeeper Zheng Da was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did Doctor Zhou mean that medicinal materials can be grown?"

Man Bao said: "Aren't medicinal materials like red dates and ginger always mostly grown?"

Of course, there are also those that are harvested in the wild, but currently, these two types of medicinal materials still account for the majority of cultivation.

"But these are not only medicinal materials, but also food. Food, of course, can be grown."

Man Bao said: "My family also grows yams."

Shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled, "Yam can also be used as food."

However, few people just eat it. Most of them are used for medicine or medicinal diet. However, shopkeeper Zheng Da knows that except for yam that is grown in some places in Shandong, most yam is harvested wild in other places.

To be honest, the fact that Zhou Man and his village could grow yams was beyond the expectations of shopkeeper Zheng Da.

Man Bao said calmly: "There is also Ligustrum lucidum. My family has already planted a mountain full of Ligustrum lucidum. The Ligustrum lucidum in our village now accounts for almost half of the mountain."

This is what the second and third brothers told her, so now Qili Village is no longer the poorest village under Dali Village. Last year, their village worked with Mr. Bai to pay for the careful repair of the road to the county seat. Now

It's very spacious. Although it's not as good as Guandao, it's not much worse.

Therefore, it is now difficult to find labor in autumn every year. In the past, Lao Zhou could hire part-time workers in the village when his farm was too busy, but now they have to go to other villages or go to the county to hire workers.

Even Mr. Bai complained privately that part-time workers were hard to find.

Shopkeeper Zheng Da opened his mouth, and after a while he muttered: "So, medicinal materials can be grown. I wonder how many medicinal materials Dr. Zhou can grow now?"

Man Bao turned her eyes slightly. Over the years, all the medicinal materials she had seen, as long as they could be obtained alive, were basically included in the encyclopedia.

And all hosts know that things included in the encyclopedia can be purchased from the encyclopedia, well, if it has it.

The genes of species cultivated through encyclopedias may be unstable, or they may be superior.

Ever since he guessed that the biggest problem in the world over there is genetic instability, Manbao has been paying attention to books and information in this area.

Occasionally ask about the research progress of species listed in the encyclopedia and Dr. D.

Many of the things she gave to the Encyclopedia and Dr. D have now been cultivated in that world. Except for a few, most of them are still genetically stable.

She thinks that genetic abnormalities are an environmental problem there, and may also be the reason for the spread of mutations in the most primitive species. Now that they have obtained the original species, there is a high probability that the genes will not mutate.

Keke once said that the plants she collected are the easiest to cultivate, as they can maintain their own genetic stability to a great extent and can also be optimized; animals are second, and the most difficult ones should be humans.

Man Bao guessed that it was because there were no new primitive humans joining that world, and they had no specimens either for continuous research or for research.

Well, thanks to what Koko said about alliance laws, intelligent creatures are not included in transactions, and her world is too far away from that world. Even if there are bad guys who ignore the law, they can't be found.

Man Bao felt happy in his heart and said to shopkeeper Zheng Da: "I have been growing various medicinal materials dug from the wild at home. I even have some growing in my garden. Do you want to take a look?"

Shopkeeper Zheng Da was overjoyed and immediately said: "Okay."

Shopkeeper Zheng Da and Zhou Man paid no attention to the people who were having the banquet. They walked to the garden behind and said, "Among the medicinal materials, apart from jade and insects and beasts, the rest are materia medica. It is said that all plants and trees can be planted."

, but firstly, growing herbal medicines requires fields, and the medicinal materials scattered in the mountains are basically enough; secondly, growing herbal medicines is not easy, especially herbs like ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, which cannot be grown at all. Even other herbs, most of them take two years.

Only the above time is enough.”

"So what I know is that there are only a few dozen herbs that can be grown, and they are all red dates, safflowers, ginger, pomegranates, garlic, lotus seeds and other plants." Shopkeeper Zheng Da shook his head slightly and said, "But the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica"

There are 239 kinds of herbal medicines recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" collected by our Zheng family, and there are 730 kinds of herbal medicines included in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" collected by our Zheng family. Currently, so many medicinal materials are rarely cultivated on a large scale."

But Man Bao knows that these herbs have not yet collected all the medicines that can be used in the world. Although Teacher Mo and his world are also missing many herbs, she knows that they existed, otherwise there would be no records in the encyclopedia.

Her world does not have the crisis of their world, which means that those herbs exist here, at least most of them exist.

Manbao perked up and thought to himself: If these herbs could be discovered and used, how many diseases could be cured?

It can also avoid the consequences of a shortage of a certain drug.

When they arrived at a piece of land in the garden that Manbao specially carved out next to his sister-in-law's vegetable patch, Manbao looked at it, turned to the silent shopkeeper Zheng Da, and said, "Shopkeeper, you have to believe me, the medicinal materials are really good.
