  Chapter 21 Fighting After
  leaving the space, I had a good sleep, and tomorrow will be another day full of energy.

  When Zhou Nan woke up, there was no one at home. Zhou Nan stretched and then got up. There was a breakfast for him in the pot in the kitchen, including egg pancakes and sweet potato porridge.

  Now Zhou Hongfa is going to dig a reservoir with the strong laborers of the brigade. He can record about six or seven work points a day. He gets up early and stays late every day, and only brings two wowotou or noodles to eat at noon.

  On Tuesday, my mother went to the fields, and now it was time to work on the autumn harvest. Originally, the strong laborers in the village were supposed to be busy with the autumn harvest, but the rice in the fields was sparse, with all shriveled ears of rice, and there was only corn left in the field. Corn cobs have basically no kernels growing out. It can only be chopped back and burned as firewood.

  Women in the village can also complete these tasks. Women's work points are not as good as those of strong laborers, but they can still subsidize the family income. Therefore, the strong laborers who dug the reservoir this year continued to work there and did not come back to catch the autumn harvest.

  The atmosphere in the fields was very dull. In the past, everyone would talk and laugh while working in the fields. All jokes would come out of their mouths. Everyone chatted and the day passed quickly. But now, looking at this harvest, my heart feels half cold.

  Although the work in the fields is tiring, everyone feels happy and happy when they see the harvest. At least a year's hard work has not been in vain.

  But now, who can still laugh when looking at the harvest from the fields? The food at home has been cut off, what else can we expect now? Some people couldn't help crying immediately. As a result, they were out of control. Some shed tears, and some directly scolded their mothers. God forbid. Open your eyes, there is no way to survive.

  Tuesday's mother was silent and didn't speak. What could she say in this world?
  Zhou Nan had breakfast slowly and walked towards Yang's house. Yesterday, he agreed to help Yang Yunchuan prepare herbal medicine. Although he didn't know how to do it, he could learn from it. Who is born with this skill? It's not just about watching and learning slowly.

  When he arrived at Yang's house, Yang Yunchuan had already been busy in the yard. He was using a small dustpan to remove debris and dust. When he saw Zhou Nan coming, he smiled slightly and asked him to watch.

  Zhou Nan looked at it for a while, a little bored. Yang Yunchuan kept paying attention to him and smiled when he saw it: "Actually, you can sell it to the drug store without processing it. However, if you process it yourself, you can become more familiar with the medicinal materials and deepen your skills. , Secondly, the price should be higher."

  Zhou Nan nodded, and Yang Yunchuan added: "The most basic steps of this processing are 'picking, winnowing, drying, and drying'. Picking is to remove impurities; winnowing is to remove dust and small impurities. To dry, those that do not need to be exposed to the sun should be air-dried or shade-dried; to dry, those that need to quickly release moisture and water. Others need to be fried or dried, and some of the whole medicine should be chopped into small pieces, or cut first and then dried. Or drying and processing. They are all operated according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials, and have very strict requirements and meticulous operating procedures."

  Zhou Nan clicked his tongue after hearing this, and circled around Yang Yunchuan several times, unable to help him in any way. Instead, he blocked his hands and feet, and was finally driven into the room by Yang Yunchuan to play.
