Chapter 1075 I'm not short of money!
At the camp.
Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing sat inside the mosquito net, struggling to sew something with needles.
The two of them sewed an extra-large mosquito net.
This mosquito net is big enough to fit ten Lu Qingqings inside.
If asked what this thing was for, Lu Qingqing was truly at her wit's end.
This thing is for her family's horse!
Who would have thought that this wretched mosquito not only sucks human blood, but also horse blood?
Starting yesterday, the horses also began to show symptoms such as fever, sweating, and lethargy.
Many horses have lost their appetite and are lethargic!
Although he didn't faint from diarrhea like a normal person.
But it seems the situation is really not good.
It has been more than ten days since the malaria outbreak began.
After their mosquito eradication campaign was forced to be abandoned a few days ago, everyone focused their efforts on prevention.
Among them, mosquito nets are the most practical and widely used.
If possible, sew mosquito nets from thin gauze and hang them outside the tent.
This type of mosquito netting is both mosquito-proof and breathable, making it arguably the best choice.
However, very few places in the mountains have such gauze curtains.
Besides that, most families use thin cloth.
Sewing thin cloth into a mosquito net is not as comfortable as a gauze net, but at least you won't get bitten.
Those who didn't even have thin cloth to their name could only exchange money or grain for thin cloth from others to sew into mosquito nets.
In short, mosquito nets have now become an essential item for everyone on the mountain.
At that moment, Lu Qingqing was busy with something when she caught a glimpse of a few mosquitoes landing outside the mosquito net.
Every now and then, it emits an annoying buzzing sound.
She had gotten used to the mosquitoes and couldn't be bothered with them.
The sewing motions quickened even further.
Judging from their expressions alone, you'd think they were seasoned veterans.
But if you take a look at the mosquito net, you'll know the truth.
Her sewing skills were just as bad as Qin Lang's!
This morning, when Old Man Zhuang learned that she was going to sew mosquito nets for the horses.
She also mentioned the hat she had given him before, which almost fell into the pot due to its poor quality.
Lu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it.
Strangely enough, when she and Qin Lang held the knife, their hands were very steady.
But I just can't seem to figure out how to use this tiny sewing needle!
Every time something was sewn, the large seam in the middle allowed several mosquitoes to fly back and forth.
However, she now has a solution.
If one stitch isn't enough, then sew it three, four, five, six, seven, or eight times!
The large mosquito net that the two of them were sewing at that moment was just like that.
The stitches, twisted and overlapping, looked like an ugly giant centipede.
However, Lu Qingqing herself was still very satisfied!
Look how sturdy this mosquito net is!
Even with Qin Lang's strength, it would be very difficult to pull them apart!
As for whether it looks good or not, she thought to herself.
If we ignore aesthetics, practicality is more important, isn't it?
Besides, no matter how smart Xiaobai is, he hasn't evolved to the point where he can tell the difference between good and bad needlework!
Thinking this, Lu Qingqing quickened her movements.
At this moment, Old Man Zhuang came over, holding an umbrella in one hand and a handful of burning mugwort in the other.
"Qingya, Xiaolang, how's the mosquito net coming along?"
As he spoke, he carefully waved the mugwort at the entrance of the mosquito net.
The pungent smell of mugwort repels mosquitoes.
Old Zhuang nimbly slipped in and carefully put the mosquito net away.
After entering, he put away the oil-paper umbrella and leaned the mugwort against the stone next to him.
When he saw the mosquito net still being sewn, Old Man Zhuang's lips twitched.
Well, he didn't need to look at it.
"Alright, alright, you two move aside, I'll sew it!"
As he spoke, Old Man Zhuang took the needle and thread from Qin Lang's hand and began to sew quickly.
Lu Qingqing watched his hands move swiftly and silently gave him a thumbs up.
She thought that if Old Man Zhuang hadn't studied medicine but instead learned needlework when he was young, he might have become a famous needlework master by now!
Old Zhuang looked at the admiring gazes directed at him and proudly raised his head.
In Qingqing's words, Lao Zhuang is also an all-rounder!
"I knew you two were clumsy. I'll sew the rest of the mosquito net for you."
Oh, right, Xiaoyue just finished sewing and said she's going to make medicine for the horse.
Do you still have the herbs you took out yesterday?
Upon hearing about brewing the medicine, Lu Qingqing readily agreed.
"There are still quite a few left, I'll go deliver them right away!"
Just as I was about to go out, I remembered that I hadn't brought the medicine bag, so I turned back and went into the tent to find it.
Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Old Man Zhuang quickly gave her some instructions.
"Qing'er, take that bundle of mugwort I'm burning before you go out!"
"understood!"
When Lu Qingqing rushed over with the mugwort, Sun Yue had already cleaned the pot for boiling the medicine.
Next to the stove was a winnowing basket of medicinal herbs.
"Qingqing, those are the herbs my master prepared. Did you bring your herbs?"
Lu Qingqing agreed, took out the cloth bag, and casually placed it next to the stove.
She then went to the large bathtub next to her to collect rainwater.
Using the action of scooping water, quickly replace the water in the bathtub with water from the space.
As for the original rainwater, she collected it into the puddles in her space.
She took the small bucket and began scooping water into the pot.
After Sun Yue lit the fire, she also came over to help her carry water.
After a flurry of activity, the two finally managed to fill the large pot with water.
Bai Song arrived just as the medicine was being brewed.
"Qingqing, I just came from the stable!"
Hey, that medicine you used yesterday really worked!
After being fed only twice, the horse perked up!
Did you buy this medicine from Prince Huai?
When we get to Jianzhou Prefecture, you'll have to find someone to buy some for me.
I need to prepare some; if I get there and need to bring a cavalry unit, these medicinal herbs will be extremely important!
Qian Chengzhi came over and happened to hear this.
"You're making a fuss over not looking for someone!"
I remember that many of the important medicines in the Prince's mansion relied on Miss Lu's key prescription.
"Once we return to Jianzhou Prefecture, if Miss Lu says the word, you won't be able to keep all this medicine!"
Bai Song looked at Lu Qingqing in surprise.
"Qingqing, why didn't you tell your brother about this!"
Oh dear, given our relationship, you'd better prepare plenty of those in-demand medicines for me.
Don't worry, I'm not short of money!
