Chapter Twenty-Four: Up the Mountain Again
After this episode, it was already dinner time, because Shen Chengyao bought meat and came back, Liu wrapped Xiao'er's favorite dumplings for dinner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info dumplings are very fragrant, probably because the pigs of this era eat pigweed, swill, no feed feeding, no additives and hormones and the like, so the pork tastes very fragrant, much better than in the previous life, she didn't like to eat pork in her previous life.
Shen Chengyao and Liu saw that Xiao'er was eating well and relieved themselves.
After eating, Xiao'er returned to her room and entered the space, remembering what Liu said that she had lost a daughter, and searched the memory of the original owner, only to know that the original owner had a twin sister, who didn't look very much like herself, she was more like Liu, and her sister looked more like Shen Chengyao, but a little like Shen Zhuang. My sister's name is Shen Yun'er, and when I was four years old, my aunt took my sister to the grocery store in the town to play, and I lost it, and I never found it back. Xiao Xiao'er cried for a long time to find her sister, but after more than a year, it gradually became less, and when she grew up, she forgot about it. Although the case was reported to the government, it is difficult to find many abducted children in modern times, not to mention the ancient times when communications were backward, and many missing children in this era could not be recovered. At the beginning, Shen Chengyao would go to the yamen to ask every big set, and after two years, he went less, but every time he went to the county, he would still go to the yamen to ask.
I don't know why Xiao'er thought that it was Lan who took her sister to the grocery store to play and was abducted, and what Shen Chengzong said today made her even more suspicious. What is the beginning and end of the matter, you have to ask Liu when you have the opportunity. Or maybe my sister didn't lose it, but the chance of getting it back is still very good.
Thinking of a little girl who left her parents at the age of four, I don't know where she went or what she experienced, Xiao'er suddenly felt cold all over her body, I heard that twins are telepathic, I don't know if this is the case. Xiao'er shook her head, not thinking about it yet.
She harvested the medicinal herbs in the space and planted some new ones. He also harvested the rice, corn, wheat, cotton and other crops in the space, and planted some more, and planted a small plot, which was only one acre in total. Cotton is still a seed taken from the space flower mountain, and the harvested cotton is big and white. She also noticed that the rice in the space was more productive than modern hybrid rice, and thought about taking the seeds out for planting in the spring. Then I harvested all the vegetables and fruits planted in the space, and finally planted the seeds I bought today.
"Master, the rice in the space can only maintain a high yield for one season if it is taken out and planted, and the seeds harvested outside will be replanted back to the original yield. "Remind Xiao'er at the right time during the day.
"It's the same as modern hybrid rice, which has to be mated every year. ”
Wait, when I think of hybrid rice, I think that hybrid rice not only solves the problem of eating for Chinese but also affects the whole world. If the cultivation of modern hybrid rice can be copied, it will also benefit the people here. She remembers that she had learned about hybrid rice in her high school textbooks, and she wondered if she could find male sterile rice in this era. In this ancient period when materials were scarce and production technology was backward, it would be a great good thing to be able to research hybrid rice.
But it's too big a matter to rush and wait for the opportunity to ripen.
Now the priority is to make money and find a way to make money.
Xiao'er went out of the space and took the rags she bought today into the space to sort them, and tried to make a few silk flowers, a few small purses and a few animal puppets such as rogue rabbits, Mickey Mouse, piglets, caterpillars, etc., which were filled with cotton grown in the space. Xiao'er is quite satisfied with the fruits of her labor, and when she does more, she will sell it in the county and try the market. After she finished doing this, she went out of the space to sleep, and tomorrow she had to go up the mountain to find something to sell in the county, fortunately, the time in the space passed slowly, and it didn't take long to get out of the space outside, otherwise she wouldn't have to sleep after doing so many things in one night.
After breakfast the next morning, I talked to Liu, Xiao'er, Jing Rui, and Jing Hao went into the mountain again. Entering the mountain again, Xiao'er walked much faster than last time, she had a strong sense of direction, a strong memory, and a high ability to recognize the way, and soon walked to the place where she picked chestnuts last time. The chestnuts on the tree were all ripe, cracked, and fell a lot on the ground.
"Brother, we will pick all the chestnuts back this time, and then make them into sugar-fried chestnuts, and sell them in the county the day after tomorrow to earn some silver to survive the winter. ”
Jing Rui heard that he could sell the chestnuts for money, how could he disagree, so he immediately put down the basket and planned to climb the tree to pick it.
Xiao'er stopped him: "Brother, let's go around first to see if there are any other things that can be sold for money, and it is too monotonous to sell one thing alone." ”
"Sister, last time the kiwi fruit was ripe and tasted sweet and sour, it was very delicious, we can also pick some and sell it, right?" Jing Hao thought of the taste of kiwi and his mouth watered.
"Yes, kiwi is still a favorite food for many people. "In my previous life, some kiwifruit could be sold for a few yuan each, which was also a small price among fruits, after all, kiwifruit was not big.
"I'll take you to pick it!" Jing Hao was very happy to hear that he could sell it for money. Probably all children will have such a situation, when their proposal is approved by others, they feel very happy, and the more such situations, the child will become more and more confident, more and more interested in the world, love to explore more things, people will become more and more intelligent, and vice versa.
"Okay, let's pick it before we go, we'll have to look around for anything else we can sell for, and the more we find, the more money we can sell." ”
The two brothers nodded busily, they wanted to earn more money, and it was easy to do things if they had money. However, Jing Rui asked the three of them to look for it together, and they couldn't be scattered too far, for fear of getting lost, so both of them nodded and agreed.
The three of them walked in again, and when Xiao'er saw a lot of licorice, she called out to the two brothers to dig it up together with a sickle or a branch, and told them that it was called licorice, and that it could be sold to the pharmacy when the time came, and made up an excuse that she only knew about it when she saw Dr. Luo digging it last time.
The rhizome of licorice is used in medicine, moxibustion is used to treat spleen and stomach weakness, lung deficiency and cough, etc., raw to treat sore throat, carbuncle swelling and poison, fetal poison in children, etc.
Along the way, I dug up some traditional Chinese medicines such as notoginseng, comfrey, chicken bone grass, plantain, soil poria cocos, etc., and filled the three back baskets before the three of them gave up. Xiao'er also caught two pheasants and a litter of hares, which numbered six.
Xiao'er saw some small golden fruits in front of her, and wanted to go over to see what they were: "Brother, Jinghao, let's go see if that piece of wild fruit can be eaten." She pointed to a field of wild fruit trees not far away.
When she got closer and saw that it was a golden cherry seed, Xiao'er felt a little surprised: "Brother, this is a golden cherry seed, sweet, it can be used in medicine or wine."
Jing Hao glanced at the basket behind him: "Sister, our back basket is full."
Jing Rui saw the fruit full of thorns, and his heart was a little furious: "This little one is still full of thorns, can you eat it?"
"Yes, just wipe the thorns off, I've seen others eat them. Xiao'er looked at the back basket behind the three of them, and then picked kiwifruit and chestnuts, and then looked at the yellow fruit in front of her, and decided to pick it again tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow by the way, she would buy some jars in the county and come back to make wine.
"Let's call my dad tomorrow to pick it together, and then bring two more sacks, and we'll finish picking them all." ”
The two nodded and said, "Okay." ”
They prefer chestnuts to the thorny wild fruits, and although the chestnuts are also thorny, they are all blown up, and it is good to knock them down.
Xiao'er wanted to go east, but Jing Rui refused, saying that the woods were unlucky and those trees would cry.
"Do trees cry?" Xiao'er thought of a possibility.
"Yes, those trees shed tears, and everybody called them weeping trees. Jing Hao said what he knew.
A tree that sheds tears, it should be, but how can there be such a tree here? It's really strange! But if it really is, she thinks of a plan to make a fortune, and when she thinks of this, Xiao'er's eyes are shining, which only appears when facing a big business.
This mountain is really full of treasures, she is determined to go into the mountains to see if she has time, anyway, she has space, she is not afraid of danger or anything, not to mention that she is not a vegetarian.
Knowing that the ancients were superstitious, Xiao'er didn't insist on going to see it, the back basket on her body was a little heavy, and she felt a little pain in her shoulders, and the two brothers should be even more painful, Xiao'er decided to go and pick the chestnuts and go home.
