Chapter 17 Drying medicinal materials

  Jiang Lin walked in front, and Yu Xiaolian followed behind bouncingly, and soon they came to the mountain depression on the other side of the forest.

  The sandy soil here is mostly sandy, and the sandy soil baked by the scorching sun is very hot. Stepping on the hot sand with small cloth shoes makes Yu Xiaolian's feet feel hot.

  Jiang Lin pointed to the red patch in the ditch, and asked, "Look, is this the medlar you want to pick?"

   "Yes, yes, yes." Yu Xiaolian ran over happily.

Without hesitation, she ran to the ditch and jumped down, and started to pick wolfberries without saying a word. These things come in bunches, which are very easy to pick, and with Jiang Lin helping her, after a while, They picked a basket full.

  Jiang Lin asked, "You picked this because you want to sell it for money at the medicine hall in the town?"

  Yu Xiaolian nodded, "I just want to try, but I don't know if it will work."

  Jiang Lin helped Yu Xiaolian lift up the basket full of goji berries.

  Go up first again and pull Yu Xiaolian out of the ditch.

   "The pharmacy doesn't seem to accept fresh ones, they have to dry them, and they don't seem to be able to sell them for much money."

"A penny is also money. You don't know the current situation of my family. I owe a lot of money to the village. I don't even have enough food for the winter. My mother does embroidery every day, and her eyes are so tired. I also want to help them share.”

  Yu Xiaolian patted the soil on her body, "I'll take these home first, I'll come out later, and you can take me to pick some honeysuckle."

  Jiang Lin lifted the basket, "I'm fine anyway, I'll take you back."

  Yu Xiaolian was happy and relaxed, thinking that when she came out later, she had to bring a big basket, and she wanted to dry the honeysuckle more.

  Yu Xiaolian and Jiang Lin walked side by side on the village road, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. Some whispered, saying that Jiang Lin is really brave.

  Yu Xiaolian took a peek at Jiang Lin, and saw that he didn't care, so she happily followed Jiang Lin's strides.

Yu Xiaolian went back to the house with a lot of goji berries, found a big dustpan, and poured the goji berries on it. The fresh goji berries should not be exposed to the sun, but should be dried in the shade. Yu Xiaolian Feeling that it was safest to put it in her own house, she spread the goji berries flat, and then she changed into a big basket and went out.

  I didn't see Yu Changhe when I went back just now, so I guess he went to the mountain to cut wicker again.

  Yu Xiaolian came out carrying a pannier that was about the same size as hers, and was laughed at by Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin even suggested that Yu Xiaolian should sit in the pannier so that he could walk faster with it on.

  Yu Xiaolian glared at Jiang Lin angrily, wasn't she just making fun of her shortness?

  Yu Xiaolian comforted herself in her heart, she was not angry, she was only ten years old, she was still a child, she would grow taller.

  With the help of Jiang Lin, Yu Xiaolian picked a basket full of honeysuckle without any effort.

  Yu Xiaolian feels that Jiang Lin knows everything, at least he knows the familiarity of this mountain well.

   "Do you know where Milletera is found?"

   "It's hard to find Millipede vine. Some time ago, in July and a half, every family went up to the mountain to look for Millipede vine. It's probably not easy to find nearby."

  It is the custom of Daliang people to pray for blessings by setting off river lanterns in the middle of July, and people in Daliang are used to coloring the finished river lanterns with Millipede spathifolia.

  Even if it is usually in this mountain, it is extremely rare.

  It seems that this time we can't sell the Millet Spathifolia.

  Jiang Lin said, "If you only use a little bit, it's easy to find. When I get it, I'll send it to you. But if you want to sell it for money, it seems to be too much."

   When going back, it was Jiang Lin who brought the basket back to Yu Xiaolian, otherwise Yu Xiaolian couldn't carry such a big basket.

  Honeysuckle also needs to be dried in the shade, and they need to be placed in a ventilated place and turned frequently to prevent them from becoming rotten.

After Yu Xiaolian finished everything, Yu Changhe happened to come back with a bundle of willow sticks. His legs and feet were inconvenient, so he could only carry one bundle of wicker sticks back each time, but that bundle weighed seven or eighty catties, no Most people can easily move it.

  Yu Changhe has worked as a government servant for many years, and his body is excellent, and he also has good strength, but this leg is his only shortcoming.

Yu Changhe went to the water tank and drank a ladle of water, thinking that Yu Xiaolian should be back after digging wild vegetables, so he went into the house to have a look, it doesn't matter, there is a dustpan on the left and a dustpan on the right in this room, which is filled with What are these?

  Looking at the kang again, Yu Xiaolian's coat was covered with six duck eggs and a dozen quail eggs. Just as she was wondering, Yu Xiaolian's voice sounded from behind, "Father, you are back!"

   Without waiting for Yu Changhe to ask, Yu Xiaolian said happily, "Father, look, these are the medicinal materials I picked. I picked up these wild duck eggs and quail eggs on the mountain. Dad, am I not good?"

   "Medical materials? How do you know the medicinal materials?"

Yu Xiaolian graduated from the West China Academy of Medical Sciences in her previous life. It is not surprising that she knows these medicinal materials. Although they do not know how to treat the living, they not only understand pharmacology and clinical practice, but also understand investigation and inference. They are not only doctors, but also forensics. Or the police.

   Moreover, people who are engaged in the profession of forensic medicine often need a strong psychological quality, otherwise they will vomit before examining the corpse.

   This is also the reason why Yu Xiaolian dared to go to explore the tomb of the grass hag by herself.

   "Ah, I heard what Jiang Lin said, and he also picked the medicinal materials for me."

   Hearing that Jiang Lin helped, Yu Changhe dispelled his doubts.

  Well, if there is anything wrong, just push it on Jiang Lin.

   "Where did you pick up this wild duck egg? Why are they so clean?"

   Picked it up in the supermarket, of course it is clean.

   "It was quite dirty when I picked it up, and I washed it."

  Looks like the next time they "pick up", they have to bring some mud.

  Yu Changhe asked again, "How did you get this bird's egg? Did you climb a tree to dig out a bird's nest?"

   "That... tree was climbed by Jiang Lin."

  Jiang Lin, the all-purpose card backer.

  Yu Changhe frowned, "The bird's nest is too high, it's too dangerous, don't let Jiang Lin climb it next time."

  Yu Xiaolian nodded in agreement, it seems that next time the quail eggs will not be able to be taken out.

   "With so many eggs, you have to dig out several nests, right?"

  Yu Xiaolian didn't expect Yu Changhe to be so rambling, and blurted out, "Just one, this mother bird may have given birth."

   "Well, they are quite capable of laying eggs. Generally, there are only five or six eggs in a bird's nest."

   As he spoke, Yu Changhe counted the quail eggs and said with a smile, "There are eighteen of them, and they are really fertile!"

  Yu Xiaolian was speechless for a while, she didn't think about it that much at the time, she just grabbed three handfuls at random.

  And when she went into the space to get the eggs just now, she found that the bag of golden monkey toffee she ate last night had returned to its original shape, becoming five bags.

  It seems that her supermarket space has an automatic recovery function after midnight.

   This is really good!

  She went to the shelf to look at the goji berries and honeysuckle, but they didn't change back.

   It seems that it is because those things are still in the space even though the packaging has been torn off. If you take them out, it is estimated that they will become new ones the next day.

   Doesn't automatic recovery mean that she has inexhaustible resources?

  Yu Xiaolian was so happy that she wanted to jump up. Not only would she not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, but she could also live a life of rice worms freely, and she could laugh out loud just thinking about it.

  Yu Changhe rested for a while, then went out to weave baskets again.

  Yu Xiaolian secretly opened the rice bag and put two bowls of rice inside.

  It’s just that the modern white rice has been polished and is too white, which is in sharp contrast to the gray rice that Sun used a stone mill to grind.

   It was obvious at a glance, Yu Xiaolian patted her forehead in frustration.

   No matter what, she couldn’t pick out one by one. She stirred the white rice with her hands to make it look the same as the original.

  Self-deception series, I hope Mrs. Sun will not find out.
