With this reason in mind, Tong Zhan could only follow her.
Actually, on this farm, treating the soldiers’ illnesses didn’t involve any complicated conditions. It was mainly injuries, or common colds and fevers. These are young n living in the Famine Era, so many rare illnesses were uncommon, and even gynecological issues were rarely seen. The only regret was the lack of dicine, and without dication, many illnesses had to be endured.
However, as a doctor, the help she could offer was quite limited. Because space couldn’t be used to grow dicinal materials, and these barren grasslands didn’t yield much Chinese Herbal dicine. So, in her spare ti, she followed the local Tibetan dicine doctor to learn and explore Tibetan dicine culture, study the language and culture of Xinjiang, recognize so Chinese Herbal dicine, and collect herbs with the old teacher.
"Liang Tian, do you think I can grow these dicinal materials I collected in space?"
"You can, but you need to pay the land rental price. For every three harvested, you pay the System one, and you can keep the remaining two. The maturity ti is determined by the System,"
Gold Coin, Gold Coin, you are really rcenary.
"There’s no choice, I also have to survive. I’ve already given you considerable concessions."
Thus, Ye Huan suspended the daily planting of fruits and vegetables, asked Tibetan dicine doctor for so seeds of dicinal materials, tried planting them to see if their nature and dicinal properties could et the required value.
According to her understanding, the major and specialty dicinal materials produced in Xinjiang mainly include red flowers, goji berries, red peony, peach kernel, Almond, Yili Beimu, Asafoetida, Xinjiang Wormwood, Tianshan Qinjiao, Xinjiang Qinjiao, Sosuo grapes. Ethnic dicine specific dicinal materials are figs, Cumin, apricot, Dichromodes, Desert Date, Ali Red, thorny sugar, Black Caraway Seeds, Chicory, cumin, Pistachio, Hu Tong Tears, One-branch Wormwood, Ayurvedic, coriander, Anise, pogranate etc.
And these dicinal materials do not include the precious Tianshan Snow Lotus, which has quite good effects in treating rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis.
Tianshan Snow Lotus relies on seeds for propagation, has extrely strong vitality, but grows slowly. From seed germination to flowering and blossoming, it takes 3 to 5 years.
It is a rare and precious Chinese Herbal dicine unique to Xinjiang. It grows on the cliffs and crevices of ice glaciers at an altitude of about 4000 ters in the Tianshan Mountain Range; where the climate is extrely cold, and snow remains year-round, ordinary plants can’t survive, yet Snow Lotus can bravely grow in the severe cold below freezing and in the hypoxic environnt.
This unique survival habit and distinctive growth environnt make it naturally rare, and endow it with unique pharmacological effects and magical dicinal value. People hail Snow Lotus as the "King of Hundred Herbs," "top-grade dicine."
When the Tibetan dicine doctor ntioned Tianshan Snow Lotus, she instinctively asked: "Where can we find seeds of the Snow Lotus?"
The Tibetan dicine doctor adjusted the reading glasses on his nose with a hard-to-describe expression.
"What do you want the seeds of these dicinal materials for? Do you actually plan to grow them?"
Ye Huan seed to suddenly realize her value in coming to Xinjiang.
"Do you have seeds in your possession? Could you let see them? I’m just curious."
The old Tibetan dicine doctor hesitated for a mont but, considering Ye Huan’s good character and earnest learning attitude, nodded.
"Yes, there are so, they were luckily collected by my grandfather’s generation. But they’ve been kept for so many years, probably won’t grow anymore. Although Snow Lotus can be propagated by seeds, the seeds mature when high cold and heat areas have already begun to snow, so when my grandfather collected these seeds, he spent considerable effort and manpower, besides Snow Lotus seeds have low germination rate, are difficult to propagate, and grow slowly, artificial cultivation is quite challenging."
So many old seeds, definitely won’t grow outside, but in her space, there might still be a glimr of hope.
"Then... can you give one, I want it as a keepsake, rest assured, I’m not taking it for free, I can pay you money or sothing else."
The old Tibetan dicine doctor glared at her, "What do I need money for? But I see your acupuncture skill is quite good, could you teach ?"
Ye Huan imdiately bead with joy, "What’s so hard about that? Even if you don’t give it to , I would still teach you, so is it a deal?"
Unexpectedly, the old Tibetan dicine doctor gave her a whole bag of seeds. These seeds looked like vegetable seeds but not quite, elongated and similar to long rice grains, brownish, and even emitted a special scent. There must be at least a dozen or so seeds in this bag, yet the old teacher entrusted them all to her?
"You gave all? I only need one, having so many is useless!"
"Take it, I keep them but they’re useless, after so many years, the cloth wrapping these seeds has already torn twice, do you think they can still grow? Instead of keeping them, it’s better to learn so useful Traditional Chinese dicine acupuncture from you!"
Ye Huan: "...." Old man, you are so generous, you practically gave a heart attack!
If she can really grow these seeds, she must give one to the elderly man in return.
That night, she planted one seed in space, not knowing if it would germinate, she entered and exited space over ten tis in one night. Finally, on the fifteenth ti, she saw the beginning of germination in Tianshan Snow Lotus. That mont, she was so excited she didn’t even realize she was crying.
The reason for her excitent was not rely growing the Snow Lotus; most importantly, the Tianshan Snow Lotus might be able to help Tong Zhan.
Because the root, stem, and leaves of Snow Lotus are rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils, lactones, steroids, polysaccharides, and reducing substances, its flower buds are even richer in trace elents and amino acids, with effects in activating blood circulation, relieving cold and dampness, nourishing yin and strengthening Yang, treating all kinds of cold symptoms. This is the "warming the kidneys for assisting Yang, dispelling cold and eliminating dampness, promoting blood circulation and activating ridians" from Traditional Chinese dicine. Used for rheumatism pain, rheumatoid arthritis, lower abdominal pain, nstrual irregularities...
