Whenever Zhao Yan had free time at home, he loved tinkering with medicinal herbs. He would forage for them and dry them in the sun, missing not a single step. Most of the finished herbs were sold to Huichuntang Pharmacy, while a small remaining portion was stored at home just in case anyone came down with a sudden fever or headache, ensuring they could be used right away without having to make the long trip to town to buy them.
To this end, he had even spent a pretty penny having a proper medicine cabinet custom-built, which made storing and retrieving herbs much more convenient.
Today, he was taking an ox cart home. There were quite a few fellow villagers on board, and the cart was nearly full.
