Chapter 69: Traditional Chinese Medicine to Repellent Mosquitoes
After returning home, Liu Limin began to prepare the Chinese herbal medicine collected from the mountains, while Zhang Xiuying watched with interest.
It's just that the weather is getting hot now, and there are so many mosquitoes in the countryside. Zhang Xiuying, a city girl with delicate skin and tender flesh, soon couldn't stand it any more. There were mosquito bites everywhere on her legs and hands.
This made Zhang Xiuying very distressed. She didn't expect that the countryside was like this, and she missed the life in the city a little bit.
Seeing this, Liu Limin hurriedly said: "Xiuying, wait a minute, I will make you a mosquito repellent pack and you will be fine. Alas, it's all my fault for not thinking carefully. I didn't expect this. We rural people are all rough-skinned."
It's thick and you're used to mosquito bites. You come from the city and you won't be able to adapt to it all at once."
When Zhang Xiuying thought about the purpose of coming here, she couldn't help but said with some shame: "Brother Limin, I'm fine! I can withstand it, just a few more bags!"
Liu Limin laughed and said: "No, you still have to prevent mosquito bites. Malaria is still quite popular now, and it is spread by mosquito bites. So, mosquitoes are a very nasty thing, but in our rural areas, it is impossible to eliminate them.
, so we can only try our best to prevent mosquito bites. Fortunately, there are Chinese medicines that can repel mosquitoes. I can make them soon, and we can all use them."
In the early 1980s, mosquito coils were not available in rural areas.
Moreover, the mosquito repellent effect of mosquito coils is not very good, and it is also slightly poisonous. However, the traditional Chinese medicine mosquito repellent pack is not only safe and effective, but can also be placed on the body, and the mosquitoes will not bite. This is comparable
Mosquito coils are more effective.
Liu Limin did what he said. The mosquito repellent pack must not only have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but also have a fragrance, otherwise it will not be considered a success.
In addition to the common traditional Chinese medicines, cloves, mugwort leaves, mint, and calamus, Liu Limin also added a special herb from Qingyun Mountain. This herb has a very good repellent effect and can be said to be a special mosquito repellent.
Chinese medicine.
The combination of these Chinese herbal medicines not only has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but also has some health care effects. For example, mugwort leaves can relieve depression, cloves are a good spice, and calamus is an herb that prevents epidemics and exorcises evil spirits.
Liu Limin got a lot of mosquito repellent herbs. Zhang Xiuying and Wang also came over to help sew the sachets. After a while, more than a dozen mosquito repellent sachets were ready.
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Mom, Xiuying, you have worked hard. With these sachets, I believe mosquitoes will no longer bite. Put one on your body, and then put one in the room, so that even the mosquito net will be covered."
It’s a bit redundant.”
Wang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Limin, Xiuying is from the city, you have to take good care of her. I feel distressed when I see her bitten like this. This sachet is good, let's see how it works."
.”
Zhang Xiuying smiled sweetly and said: "Auntie, I'm fine!"
Liu Limin smiled and said, "I'll get some Chinese medicine later and rub it on for you. When you get up tomorrow morning, the red envelope should be gone."
Zhang Xiuying looked at Liu Limin tenderly and said: "Brother Limin, thank you!"
His mother was still beside him. Liu Limin felt his face turn red and said quickly: "It's okay, this is what I should do!"
When Mrs. Wang saw this girl treating her son like this, she thought that her son's life-long events seemed to be promising. Although this girl came from the city, she was really nice and she was also a teacher. This future daughter-in-law, she was quite good.
satisfied.
Zhang Xiuying suddenly said: "Brother Limin, I think this kind of mosquito repellent incense pack is better than mosquito repellent incense. If it is sold in the city, I think many people will buy it."
Liu Limin smiled and said: "I didn't expect that, Xiuying, you are very business-savvy. You can really try this sachet and sell it in the city. You reminded me, let's test it first. If it succeeds,
Just let the members of our production team follow suit, wouldn’t this help everyone get rich?”
Zhang Xiuying's eyes showed admiration: "Brother Limin, you are such a good person, and you still want to make your members rich!"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "It's nothing. We are all fellow villagers. Who doesn't want to live a good life? With such a good thing, naturally we want to be together!"
Liu Limin still remembers that in his previous life, many people in the city did choose mosquito repellent coils instead of mosquito coils, because, how to put it, mosquito repellent coils are made of natural Chinese herbal medicine, which is very safe and effective, but mosquito coils
After all, a lot of chemical products are added, so it has a certain degree of toxicity.
At that time, people were very particular about health, so many people chose mosquito repellent sachets.
It's just that in the 1980s, people didn't necessarily like to use mosquito repellent sachets. This business model still needs to be studied slowly, and it is not easy to succeed.
But if it succeeds, it can still make money. Things like sachets actually existed in ancient times and were quite popular, but they are not that popular in modern times.
Zhang Xiuying took a sachet and put it on her body. Sure enough, although there were a lot of mosquitoes in the yard, they were all very strange and they all turned a blind eye to her. It was as if there was an invisible force that isolated the mosquitoes.
Moreover, this sachet smells very good, making people feel happy physically and mentally. When you close your eyes, you feel like you are in a green herb garden.
Liu Limin then prepared some Chinese herbal medicine, boiled some potion, and prepared to apply it on Zhang Xiuying.
This potion has a disinfecting effect and can eliminate the red envelopes on her arms, feet, and neck tomorrow.
After the potion had almost cooled down, Liu Limin said to Zhang Xiuying: "Xiuying, come here, let me wipe it for you to make sure those bags won't be itchy or painful."
Zhang Xiuying nodded and said: "Well, Brother Limin, you are serious!"
Mrs. Wang left all the space to the two young men, and there was no one else in the yard.
However, Zhang Xiuying still blushed because Liu Limin applied the potion on her, which was still a somewhat intimate act.
Especially on her neck, there were several bite wounds. When Liu Limin applied medicine to her neck, her face was already red and hot.
It's summer now, and Liu Limin's hands are shaking a little, because he saw some beautiful scenery. Although he tried hard to think of the little junior sister as a patient, he still couldn't control it. This is really different from those patients.
.
The eyes were full, but throughout the night, those scenery kept appearing in front of Liu Limin's eyes.
Now there is a sachet in every room in the house, and everyone also carries one with them. The effect is very good. Mosquitoes really stop biting people.
Summer evenings are still very hot. At this time, let alone air conditioners, there are no electric fans. After all, there is no electricity in the countryside, so even if you can afford an electric fan, you won't be able to use it.
Therefore, the whole family could only enjoy the cool air in the yard, swinging the cattail fans, and could not sleep until eleven or twelve o'clock.
With the sachet, although mosquitoes are more powerful at night, none of them fly over and bite me.
