Chapter 60 Plant Greenhouse Vegetables
So much for this, Su Jiuyue couldn't refuse any more, and then took the money bag back again.
"Mom, I bought a whole month portion of herbs for Xiyuan today because the situation in the town was terrible, like a sign of turmoil."
Su Jiuyue's serious look made Liu Cuihua laugh, "You little girl, do you really know what's the meaning of terrible situation?"
Su Jiuyue said gravely, "Mom, I meant it. Outside the Niutou Town were all refugees. We three were even stalked by those people on our way home. If I hadn't deliberately told Xiyuan that the back basket was full of herbs, I'm afraid they would like to snatch it!"
Liu Cuihua stopped joking and asked, "Really?"
Su Jiuyue nodded, "Of course it's true. I don't lie to you."
"Well, if so, these days we had better just stay at home since we have enough to eat and have bought 30 doses of herbs for Xiyuan to sustain a period of time. But only acupuncture treatment ... will be put on hold." Liu Cuihua said with some regret.
But soon she added, "Well, as the saying goes 'Where there is life, there is hope'. If what you said is true, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in the town recently, so we had better stay at home."
Su Jiuyue nodded slightly in agreement, and then continued, "Mom, anything you say. By the way, today, Dr. Huang changed the prescription for Xiyuan, there was no other problem with other herbs. It was just that one of the herb ingredients is garlic sprout. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find it..."
"If so, what we should do then? Why is it winter now? I wish it were summer!" Liu Cuihua said with a sigh, "It's not good times now. Even if it were in summer, we wouldn't have good ideas because of the serious drought..."
Su Jiuyue consoled her, "Mom, it's just because of a heavy snow outside. Everything will go well until the spring begins."
Liu Cuihua twisted her eyebrows and nodded, "But what about the garlic sprouts? Does that mean we have to keep Xiyuan waiting longer?"
Wu Xiyuan had to wait, but it's just a matter of how long it would take. After all, they couldn't buy it anywhere now.
At that time, Su Jiuyue spoke out her ideas she had hidden inside her mind all the way. As she said, "Mom, I bought several strings of garlics instead. I plan to grow garlic sprouts at our home."
Liu Cuihua raised her eyebrows. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's snowing so heavily outside, could the garlic sprout?"
The words Liu Cuihua said were relatively polity. Liu Cuihua reckoned Su Jiuyue should know this common sense since they all were the same kind of people who ate the food grown on the field.
Sensing the impoliteness in Liu Cuihua's words, Su Jiuyue hastened to explain, "Mom, I'm not talking about growing garlic sprouts on the fields. You know, our house is warm inside as we lit the stove in the daylight and heat up the kang in the evening. So, I'm just thinking it would be better to grow garlic sprouts in the basins and put them inside the room. It will only take 7 days or so to sprout and we would have garlic sprouts in a month and a half."
Liu Cuihua's eyes met Su Jiuyue's bright eyes and Liu couldn't help but think about the feasibility of this method in her mind.
But on second thoughts, Liu Cuihua deemed that it's only about growing several garlics, just let Su Jiuyue do whatever she wanted to. She also thought it would be better if Su Jiuyue did it but if not, waiting for one or two more months again wouldn't affect Xiyuan who had been waiting for half a year after all.
Then Liu Cuihua answered, "Well then, you just do it. Taking a shot is always good deed whether you could make it or not. Ah, by the way, did Dr. Huang ever tell you what you should do next if you lack an ingredient?"
"He told me just follow the same prescription as before. The 30 doses of herbs were bought according to the previous medical prescription. It wouldn't be too late before we get garlic sprouts." Su Jiuyue filled her mother-in-law in.
Coming out Liu Cuihua's room, Su Jiuyue headed for the kitchen with peppercorns in her hand.
