I saw my father not at home and asked, "Mom, where is my dad? What's he going to do?" My mother, who was making dinner, raised her head and said, "Xiaoliang, your dad went to the team's livestock room and went to cut grass. It's also considered overtime. Your dad also wants to pay off the work points owed by the team early. If you pay it back one day earlier, our whole family will be relaxed for a day. When your brother's waist is ready, we will be able to pay it back soon."

I secretly made up my mind to ask my brother to take Hu Haishan's herbs early to get better early, and to pay off the team's work points earlier. I will work more for my family and share more burdens for my father and mother, so that our family can get better early. Thinking of this, I said to my mother: "Mom, then I'll go feed the pigs, and the chickens in our family." After that, I was about to go out. At this time, my brother who was lying in the pit said: "Xiao Liang

, When you were sleeping, our mother had already fed her, you don't have to go." At this time, the busy mother also looked up and said to me, "I have fed pigs and chickens. You can lie down for a while, and we can eat when your father comes back." I quickly said to my mother, "Mom, I'm awake, it's okay now, so I'll go and cook herbs for my brother!" My mother said again, "Xiaoliang, do you know how to cook herbs? You haven't cooked them before, so let me do it later."

To be honest, I have never decocted herbs before, and I can't do it either. I have seen my mother decocting medicine before, but it feels not too difficult, so I can almost do it. Besides, this is the herb prepared by Hu Haishan for his brother. I don't know how to say something clearly, and I can only feel at ease by doing it myself. And it makes my brother get better early, and I feel more accomplished. Thinking of this, I said to my mother: "Mom, don't worry, I can do it. Master Wuxin told me that these medicines are in sequence when putting them. Come and decoct. Where is the decocting pot in our house? At this time, my mother had already prepared the meal and was cleaning the stove. When she heard that I wanted to decoct the pot, she casually said: The decocting pot is placed in the house. Go under the big jar behind.

After searching, I searched the big jar in the house. But I didn't find it, so I asked again, "Mom, don't you, I searched the big jar in the house, but didn't see it?" Then my mother stopped the movement in her hand. She thought for a while and said, "Oh, I forgot, look at my head. You, Mr. Li, borrowed it from the next door some time ago, and said that you, Mr. Li, were taking herbs at home and wanted to use our decoction pot. It's been a long time since you and your uncle Li and they should not use it. You go and get it. Our local custom is that there is no decoction pot at home that can be borrowed from someone else's house, but you can't take the initiative to repay it. If you want to use it, you can go and get it back. Now it's dark, you'll have to come back and soak the herbs first."

I was still young at that time and didn't know that there were such rules in the village. After hearing my mother's words, I went to Mr. Li's house next door. Mr. Li's family was having dinner at that time. I went to explain the situation. Mr. Li quickly took out the decoction pot from the corner of the wall. I took the decoction pot back home, and now in the yard. With the water in the water tank, I washed the decoction pot several times, and then returned to the kitchen with the decoction pot. I took the three packs of medicinal materials on the windowsill, took out the ones that my brother took internally, put the dry medicinal materials into the pot and soaked them in clean water.

You don’t need to soak the medicinal materials in water. Just wait until the dry medicinal materials are soaked, and then put them in the pot and boil them together. However, these dry medicinal materials need to be soaked overnight. You can only wait until tomorrow morning when the sky is unknown. After boiling, you have to ask your brother to take them quickly before the sun comes out, so that the herbs can be effective. After making these, I took out another pack to let my brother use herbs for external use. These external herbs do not need to be tormented, just steam them in the pot. My mother had already prepared the rice just now, and I can use the fire now.

Then I took out the steamer for my mother to steam buns, put it on the steamer, put the medicinal materials evenly in the steamer, and covered the lid. Then I went to the west wall outside to hold a bundle of firewood to heat the stove, so that the water in the pot can boil quickly. When the water in the pot is boiled by the fire, I put some coal into the stove to make the fire smaller. I steamed these medicinal materials for two hours. After steaming these medicinal materials, I took them out and waited for them to cool naturally.

Only when I was busy, my father came back. As soon as my father entered the room, he saw me busy in front of the stove, and asked, "Xiaoliang, what are you doing?" My father didn't ask, and said while sniffing, are you trying to make those medicinal herbs? Why do I smell the smell of herbs?"

Before I could speak, I stood watching my mother and said to my father: "Xiaoliang is steaming herbs for his brother. I said just now. He hasn't made them before. I'll do them after I finish cooking. As a result, Xiaoliang said that Master Wuxin told him that there is a sequence of putting this herbs, so he has to do them himself."

After listening to my mother's explanation, my father came over and looked at the herbs I was steaming in the iron pot. And the herbs soaked in the medicine pot, and asked, "Xiaoliang, are you also the herbs in this pot? What kind of medicine is this? You still need to steam it in the pot?" I quickly explained to my father: "Dad, you don't know. The herbs steamed in this steam pot were used externally. Master Wuxin specifically told me that this herbs must be steamed in the pot and cannot be boiled. The herbs used externally were steamed for two hours, but

Then dry it, finally take it out and mash it into grass paste, filter it off, and then apply it with cinnabar amber, apply it to the injured area, and your brother's injury will quickly improve." The father nodded after hearing this. "Well, it's like this. Taoist Master Wuxin is really a master. Usually, we ordinary people cook herbs, but this steamed herbs is the first time I see this. This unique method of making must also have a unique effect. Then you can do it according to Taoist Master Wuxin's words, don't forget anything."

After saying that, my father patted the dust on his body, picked up a towel and went to wash his face outside.
