A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 223: Drying the Herbs

Shen Jiaren smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just whether you have any ill intentions."

Xiao Zhao curled his lips and said, "This afternoon, Aunt Jiang came to look for you, but you were not there. She asked me to tell you that Chen Zhiqing from your village knew that you were working in the hospital, and asked you to go find Chen Jiaojiao when you have nothing to do in the next two days and tell her that Chen Jiaojiao is looking for you.

Then I forgot about it last night, sorry."

After Shen Jiaren said it was okay, she took Wangcai and stood aside to make way for Xiao Zhao, and then she didn't say anything else.

Seeing that Shen Jiaren didn't say anything, Nurse Xiao Zhao stopped talking and went to the washroom with the basin.

Shen Jiaren saw Nurse Xiao Zhao carrying the basin and leaving without even turning her head, so she didn't call out to her again.

After Shen Jiaren closed the door and lay down on the bed again, she was wondering what Chen Jiaojiao wanted to talk to her about, but she didn't want to ask because she felt it would be a troublesome matter.

Shen Jiaren was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep, so she simply sat up at the desk and found a notebook from the courtyard. She wrote down all the names of the herbs she knew while drying them yesterday. She also thought about the drying method and the number of times she turned the sheets yesterday. She organized all these things into notes and wrote them in the notebook. She planned to look through it again when she got to memorize the herbs to see if she had remembered them wrong or if there was anything that needed to be supplemented.

After Shen Jiaren finished taking notes, she put the notebook back to the manor. After all, this notebook was not available in this era, so it was better to be careful with it.

After Shen Jiaren had tidied herself and put Wangcai's breakfast away, she looked at the time and saw that there were less than ten minutes left before work, so she quickly packed up her things and walked towards the office.

As soon as Shen Jiaren entered the office, Doctor Qin followed suit.

Doctor Qin, "Xiao Shen, are you still with me today?"

Shen Jiaren asked doubtfully, "Doctor Qin, do you have any other plans for me?"

Doctor Qin laughed twice and said, "You are asking because you are afraid it will be too bitter. Do you think you can't endure it?

If you don’t want to do it, I’ll go by myself. If you still want to do it, then go and move the tools that were hung out to dry yesterday. After you move them out, I’ll tell you which herbs we’re going to dry today.”

Shen Jiaren was a little curious. Doctor Qin had just said yesterday that there was a time limit for drying the medicine. Didn't he say it should be after 9:30? Why did he take the tools as soon as he got to work today? It was only 8 o'clock.

Although Shen Jiaren was very curious, she did not ask directly. Instead, she went to the place where she had placed the tools yesterday and moved them out one by one.

When Doctor Qin saw Xiao Shen working hard to move the medicine drying tools, he didn't say anything. He turned around and walked out of the office.

When Shen Jiaren had arranged all the drying tools into the visiting positions and situations that Doctor Qin had taught her yesterday, Doctor Qin came over with a pad, a pen, and a book.

Doctor Qin, "Xiao Shen, here are the notebooks, pens, and this book [Paozhi Dafa] that I asked for you from the logistics department. Take them all. The notebooks and pens are for you to take notes. As for Paozhi Dafa, you can flip through it and study it when you are free."

Shen Jiaren brushed the dirt off her body and hands, then took it respectfully.

Doctor Qin laughed out loud when he saw Shen Jiaren's action, "Xiao Shen, I didn't realize you're quite funny."

Shen Jiaren looked up and asked, "Huh?"

Doctor Qin said, "Okay, stop looking through it. Everyone has the notebook. As for the book, I borrowed it from the hospital library for you. You have to return it after you finish reading it.

However, I still suggest that you go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a copy when you have time. If Xinhua Bookstore doesn’t have it, then go to the recycling station.

During this time you will be dealing with herbs and drying them, so it would be good to have your own book to read frequently. "

Shen Jiaren,? ? Always new? Isn't it said that after learning more, there will be new explanations after enlightenment? How can it be used in the place where I first saw it? Did I understand it wrongly?

Doctor Qin ignored Shen Jiaren's thoughts and said directly, "Put the books away, take the notebook and pen with you, go put them away quickly, I'll wait for you here, we are still busy today."

After Shen Jiaren nodded twice, she trotted to put the book on her desk and put it in the drawer, then trotted to Doctor Qin.

Doctor Qin, "Do you remember what we dried yesterday?"

Shen Jiaren, "I remember part of it, but I don't know the name, but I know where it is."

Doctor Qin said with great interest, "Although we didn't get much sun exposure yesterday, we still got a lot. Can you remember some of it?"

Shen Jiaren nodded and said, "I'm a strange person. If I just want to memorize something, I'm very slow, very slow, and sometimes I can't even memorize it at all.

But if I am asked to put something away, the memory will only last for a few days, and I will forget it after a few days. But if it is done according to a regular and unique method, I can remember it in time. "

Doctor Qin, "Oh, is this true? You have this trick?

Come, let's go to the warehouse and you count out the things we put in yesterday."

Shen Jiaren nodded and followed Doctor Qin into the warehouse.

After Shen Jiaren went in, she walked in front of Doctor Qin. As she walked, she took out the things that had been dried yesterday and put them back for Doctor Qin to confirm.

Every time he took out an item, Dr. Qin would tell Shen Jiaren whether to leave it on the shelf or put it on the ground.

After a while, Shen Jiaren listed out everything that she had handled or participated in putting out yesterday.

Doctor Qin said happily, "Not bad, Xiao Shen. I didn't expect you to have this skill."

Shen Jiaren shook her head and said, "I can only remember it for a while, and I will forget it after a while.

Because to be honest, I am not familiar with this warehouse, I don’t recognize the things there, and most importantly, I can only remember it based on yesterday’s route.”

Doctor Qin, "I don't quite understand. What does this have to do with the course of action?"

Shen Jiaren, "I took a shortcut to remember this. I drew the items in the order we visited yesterday.

Because I discovered yesterday that when you asked me to put things away, you didn't just put them wherever you wanted, there was a certain pattern.

Although I haven’t figured out the rules, I have roughly memorized the area. So now I can draw some in the area.”

Although Doctor Qin did not understand the meaning, he roughly understood what Shen Jiaren wanted to express.

Doctor Qin, "No matter what method you use, the one that you can remember is a good method.

Just move out the medicinal herbs that I asked you to put on the ground just now.

After we move out and dry the things, I will tell you the reason.

Do you still remember how you dried the clothes yesterday?"

Shen Jiaren shook her head. "No, I'm not sure about this. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake."

Doctor Qin nodded and said, "Okay, let's move them. Each of you should move the light ones first, and we will move the heavy ones together later."

Just like that, the two of them didn't speak for a while and just moved things. After moving, Shen Jiaren began to help Doctor Qin with hanging up the things.

Every time when drying the clothes, Doctor Qin would do the model first, and then Shen Jiaren would follow behind and start drying them.

After Doctor Qin had dried all the herbs, he and Shen Jiaren began to dry them together.

While drying the clothes, he also told Shen Jiaren why she had to dry them in this way.

Seeing this, Shen Jiaren wanted to take out her notes. When Doctor Qin saw Shen Jiaren's look, he quickly stopped her.

Doctor Qin said, "Xiao Shen, although there is an old saying that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, if you keep taking notes instead of turning them into your own understanding, then your notes will always be just notes.

Only when you know the reason and understand the reason for doing so, can you better understand why the notes appear. "

Shen Jiaren didn't understand what this had to do with the reason for the appearance of the notes.

Doctor Qin saw Shen Jiaren was a little curious and explained, "If you take notes, you will feel that you took notes and look at it later. But are there so many later?

Besides, I speak so fast, can you remember it?

If I am talking and drying clothes at the same time, and the only thing you can do is take notes, can I finish drying clothes by myself?

Listen first, and when you finish listening to the middle part, think about it. If you can’t remember it, ask me and I will tell you again. "
