Chapter 405 Qingpingguan relies on her to make a living
Qingpingguan does several major things every year. One is to build a great temple on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the Zhongyuan Festival, and the other is to make donations in winter.
Because this donation is more dynamic and has more things, and there are few Taoist priests in Guanzhong, they need some believers to help themselves. After all, in addition to giving porridge and bags, the donation process will also be cooked with some cold-relieving ginger soup and make some elixirs to strengthen the body to give to the poor people. The business is busy, and relying on only a few Taoist priests in the Taoist temples, they may not be able to control the chaos.
The elixir was prepared by Qin Liuxi, and even the formula of the valiant ginger soup was written by her. For example, the medicinal materials needed, the Changsheng Palace was delivered to Qingping Temple early.
It was the end of October, and the cold winter this year was even colder. Before dawn, Qin Liuxi and his two disciples went to Qingping Temple early, talked to Chi Yuan Lao Taoist, and met with Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. After morning class, Qin Liuxi got into the medicine room in the Taoist temple and began to prepare elixirs for body-healing.
The donation meeting is held in three days. On the first day, porridge and steamed buns will be given, and the ginger soup to drive away the cold will be kept every day. At that time, it will be placed in the small square in front of the hall and the good house at the foot of the mountain for people to drink.
The next day, there will be free medical consultation and medication. On this day, the doctors from the Changsheng Palace will also come to help.
On the third day, I was wearing cold clothes. I needed to go out and go to the private camp to give refugees who really needed clothes and bedding to protect themselves from the cold.
These are all obvious. If you have any good fortune, you will also allocate money or things to Shantang, because the people who take in Shantang are all orphans and children.
In the past, Qin Liuxi made elixirs, and almost completed them independently with tangerine peel and Qihuang. There were few people in the temple, and there were many places that needed manpower. The elixirs could not be used on business trips and could not be used by others.
This year, there was one more Wuwei in Qingping Temple. Later, two other scattered roads came to hold orders, but there was still a shortage of people. After all, the incense in Qingping Temple has become much more popular, and there are many pilgrims and believers, so they are naturally too busy.
Qin Liuxi didn't care. She had been practicing elixirs to strengthen her body for many years. She had already memorized the medicinal materials and steps needed. She only ordered Qingming to help with physical work, and then started to work hard.
As for the two small ones, they followed by, watching and learning to identify the medicinal materials.
"... Some medicinal materials do not have to be fresh to refine medicine, but need to be processed to maximize the efficacy of the medicine. In a classical prescription, if the medicine is to show the best effect, the treatment of some medicinal materials must also be based on the patient's body. For example, coix seed, which is different from those that have been fried and not fried. Coix seed is cold in nature, and can discharge water and dampness downward from urination and drowning. If the disease is filled with dampness, raw coix seed will have better effect. The fried coix seed will be milder in nature. If you want to remove dampness, you need to stir-fry it. However, whether it is fried or not, please pay attention to the fetal condition of pregnant women, because it is cold and easy to produce miscarriage."
While handling medicinal materials, Qin Liuxi taught his two apprentices: "Some medicinal materials cannot be heated with fire, such as milletaceans and Acacia castor beans. Once heated and prepared, their performance will change and turn into poison. When studying medicine, there are thousands of things to remember. There are many things to do when a medicinal material is handled. If you don't notice it, you will change from saving people and harming people. Therefore, you must be careful and careful."
Teng Zhao and Wangchuan nodded heavily.
Qingming looked at the two little ones with some sympathy. They were so young that they had to learn to memorize such complicated and meticulous things. It was so hard.
However, no matter how hard they work, they cannot complain, because saving people will not harm them. Such cause and effect will bring karma.
So Qingming could only say one thing with encouragement: "I heard that the Shaoguan Master entered the Tao at the age of five and began to practice the five techniques of Xuanmen. He never called a word of suffering. You must follow the master."
Wangchuan's eyes are bright, wouldn't he be the same age as himself?
However, when she thought of her master's power, and she was still trying hard to recognize words and couldn't recite the songs in full, she was a little depressed and she was too stupid.
Qin Liuxi said: "Learn skills, three points of talent, seven points of hard work, diligence can make up for your shortcomings. I will teach you what I know. How much you learn, whether you are better than yours depends on yourself."
Teng Zhao lowered his eyes, silently sorted the medicinal materials, and placed them neatly in the basket.
Although he was teaching his apprentice, Qin Liuxi was not slow in refining medicine. He followed the steps and added the medicinal materials to the medicine cauldron one by one. As time passed, the fragrance of medicine drifted out, which made people feel energetic.
Qin Liuxi was refining medicines and Qingpingguan’s large kitchen was very busy. The chef and believers were busy making porridge and steaming buns with coarse noodles. Why did it be coarse noodles instead of fine noodles? Because coarse noodles are cheaper and full, you can make more steamed buns by saving money.
Qingyuan boiled the ginger soup with Wuwei. In addition to ginger slices, the strong and spicy ginger soup was also boiled with medicinal materials such as Atractylodes macrocephala and Pinellia ternata, which can restore the yang and unblock the meridians, dispel cold and reduce reversal.
Wuwei first poured a bowl of ginger soup, and his stomach warmed, and he couldn't help but say, "The ginger soup I used to drink was just boiled with ginger, even if I had silver in my hand, it was considered a luxury to add some brown sugar. It was really far from this bite."
Qingyuan sighed, "This is also the incense of Qingping Temple that can add these medicinal materials. I heard from the Guanzhu that the year when the Guanguan reopened, everything was in trouble. Not to mention doing this for three days, even if you give some ginger soup, it is really just water made of ginger, and it is still light."
Wuwei has been a Taoist priest in Qingping Temple in the past few months. Although he is also a Qingjing, he is not as wandering around without a meal. He has a place to rely on it, and his heart is stable and he has become a perfect person. He has tried to put orders in Qingping Temple from the beginning to now staying sincerely and becoming a disciple of Guan. Naturally, he has also learned about Qingping Temple where he came from and has developed in recent years.
Although Qin Liuxi's ability was from Chi Yuan Lao Taoist, according to his indirect attacks, Chi Yuan Lao Taoist was completely free-range and allowed her to learn at will. Qin Liuxi was a natural genius of Xuanmen. He learned good skills at a young age and then helped the world and did good deeds. Although he was lazy, he was also kicked to work hard to revitalize the Taoist temple.
She is really lazy, but she is really miserable, but to be honest, Qingpingguan really relies on her to support her, so she can achieve this situation now.
"Although we can use real ingredients to make ginger soup in Taoist temples, in fact, it is not yet the time when Qingping Temple is truly prosperous. I heard that Qingping Temple was called Qingping Sect a thousand years ago, and the sect was divided into internal and external sects. There are more than a thousand disciples in the sect, but they are just declining from generation to generation. Until now, they can only be called Qingping Temple. Thirty years ago, they were just closed to the temple."
Qingyuan patted Wuwei and said earnestly: "So Junior Brother Wuwei, even if you can't let Qingping Temple return to its peak of thousands of years ago, you have to be one of the best. For this reason, we have a long way to go. Not only will we develop believers to burn the thickest incense, but we must always encourage the young people to make progress and promote my reputation!"
