Chapter 19: Summer (5)
Lian Qiang and Wu Shao, who came to the bear clan with An Hua, brought food back to the sick Uncle An, and when they saw Huo Bai, they couldn't help but have red eyes, they had experienced the avalanche of the tiger clan and the attack of the wolves, they had all lost their relatives, and in these days of the bear clan, they could often see someone die, and this feeling of watching their relatives fall weak and weak because of illness day by day until death is even more unacceptable.
Fortunately, they still persevered, and they were lucky not to be infected, because An Hua wanted to help Doctor Xue study medicinal herbs, so they took on the responsibility of taking care of Uncle An, and did not avoid Uncle An because he was sick, and took care of the boy carefully, and often helped other clansmen of the bear clan.
Along with them came the patriarch of the bear clan, Yao Shen, this is a tall and somewhat obese orc, his partner Shen He also fell ill, the two have a deep relationship, Shen He has been taking care of Shen He in the days of illness, day and night, not leaving an inch, for fear of a difference, the original fat body has lost a lot of weight, the bottom of the eyes is heavy dark circles, the eyebrows are full of exhaustion, and the whole person is a little weak.
"Uncle Xue, can the herbs on this animal skin be useful?" Yao Shen didn't have time to entertain others, he was fully focused on his partner and clansmen at the moment.
"Xiao Shen, don't worry, you can definitely do it this time, everyone is saved!" Xue Qing said firmly, although he was not sure, he faintly felt in his heart that he would definitely succeed this time.
Yao Shen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to face Huo Bai: "I am Yao Shen, the patriarch of the bear clan, thank you for coming to help us." ”
Huo Bai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement: "I am Huo Bai, the patriarch of the Tiger Clan, don't worry, everything will be fine." ”
Most of the herbs on the animal skin are ready-made, only a small part needs to go to a farther place to pick them back, Anhua has been studying medicine with Xue Qing these days, learning is very good, and the herbs have also recognized a lot, Xue Qing sent Anhua to pick, and Ji Shan went with him, the speed of the leopard is the fastest, they want to get the herbs as quickly as possible, the orc Weida is a little unhappy, obviously he has been with Anhua these days, he likes Anhua very much, Anhua is his favorite sub-beast.
In the past few days waiting for An Hua to come back, Huo Bai Tongxiu was responsible for going out hunting, and Gu Xi helped Xue Qing sort out the herbs in the house, these days, in order to try all kinds of herbs, Xue Qing's house was full of herbs inside and out, and there was no place to stay, these medicinal materials were dried and preserved whole, Gu Xi didn't understand the medicinal materials, and he didn't dare to give opinions.
Xue Qing personally went to boil some herbal soup that he made that had some effect on preventing illness for everyone to drink, it is always right to be careful, Gu Xi pinched his nose and drank it in one go, he knew that it was important to be bitter, this is not only bitter, but the taste is also obedient.
Gu Xi continued to sort out the herbs, and he actually found the chili pepper! Gu Xi grabbed the chili pepper and was excited, the red pepper was mixed with the herbs and had been dried, Gu Xi took one and tore it open and sniffed it under his nose, smelled the familiar smell of chili peppers, and tore a small piece and put it on the tip of his tongue, the chili peppers in the beast world are really spicy!
"Do you know what this red fruit is? The taste is unpleasant, but if you eat it, your body will sweat" Xue Qing still remembered the uncomfortable and stimulating taste, and he had already thrown it aside and didn't study it.
"This red fruit is called chili, and it can indeed be used to ward off the cold in winter, but most of them are used as ingredients, and they are made with some ingredients, which is very delicious" Gu Xi's eyes lit up, and finding chili peppers indicates that the dishes will be richer in the future, and they will no longer have a light taste.
"You know pharmacology?" Xue Qing's eyes lit up and asked.
Gu Xi hurriedly shook his head: "I don't understand, I just know a little bit of something, and I don't know those ordinary herbs." ”
Xue Qing shook his head regretfully, fortunately, An Hua's talent for studying medicine is good, and he has learned a lot in such a short time.
Waiting for An Hua to come back, three days have passed, they picked the medicinal materials they need, and they rushed back non-stop, there are several similar, An Hua is not sure, so they can only pick them back, let the master distinguish, Xue Qing got the herbs and began to study, and finally in the evening of the next day, it was made, who will try it at this time, and the people in the tribe will decide for themselves.
Xue Qing repeatedly emphasized that the medicine made is not all safe, after all, this is a relatively old method that has been handed down, and no one can be sure whether it is effective, there has been no outbreak of this disease in the orc continent for a long time, so it was decided that the tribe had begun to have a high fever with three old orcs and sub-beasts, they were very persistent, insisted on making the last contribution to the tribe, and left hope to the younger generation.
After waiting for three days in anxiety, one of the old beasts had obviously reduced his fever, fortunately there were no side effects of the three medicines, and it was certain which one was useful, but Xue Qing was not at ease, and continued to observe for two days, the old beast with a fever had completely subsided, and his body was not in pain, so Xue Qing distributed medicinal materials and gave them to everyone who was sick to drink.
The people in the clan drank the decoction, the high fever began to subside, the pain in the whole body was also relieved, everyone was waiting for the day of healing, the sad atmosphere that had permeated the bear clan for many days finally dissipated, everyone's face showed a smile, the family was able, they all prepared rich food to entertain the Xue Doctor who did their best for them, and the Tiger clan people who came regardless of the danger, the patriarch Yao Shen directly decided to hold a dinner in the open space in the center of the tribe.
This time the people of the bear clan have been dispatched, the bear curse has not been so lively for a long time, Gu Xi has not seen so many clansmen since he came to the bear clan, it is different from the tiger clan, here is a fatter bear clan, the orcs of the bear clan are longer than the tiger clan's shoulders and body are larger, basically you can't find a long slender, everyone looks like a big man, even if it is a sub-beast, it is only a little smaller, Gu Xi is even smaller in front of the sub-beast of the bear clan.
Yao Shen led Shen He, whose face was still a little pale, came over, Shen He is a relatively small sub-beast of the bear tribe, similar to An Hua, with a pair of big eyes, no matter how you look at it, his round chin has become sharp, and he walked over with a stone jar: "Gu Xi, this is the honey of our bear clan, I heard that you want to eat it, these are for you." ”
"You're not well, why did you come out?" Gu Xi took the stone altar and looked at it, it was full of a large jar: "Too much......"
Shen He held his hand: "It's okay, I'm already much better, thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise I'm afraid I will die, the last thing the bear clan lacks is honey, you just take it, besides, you see how fat Ah Shen has become, you can't eat honey anymore." ”
The fat man Ah Shen's face immediately turned red, and he didn't dare to refute his partner's words, he was actually not that fat, but Xiaohe was too thin, and he was too fat in comparison, so he could only say that he was too strong, but his favorite thing to eat was honey, and the honey made by Xiaohe was all the most delicious, and this time it was given to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi laughed, didn't shirk it, accepted it, and thought that he would get you a honey-roasted sharp-toothed pig later, honey-roasted clucking bird's wings, for everyone to taste.
Now that he has found the chili pepper, Gu Xi can't wait to try it tonight, because the amount is not much, and it is very spicy, so he used three to prepare the stewed fish to eat, the chili seeds are well wrapped, and the remaining dried chili peppers are ground into chili powder with stones, which are used to sprinkle some when roasting meat, Gu Xi followed the old steps again, and boiled some oil with the fanged pig fat, and the big fish was marinated for a while with the flavor fruit, and the oil pot was passed again, poured water, put the chili peppers and began to stew, and after a while, the spicy taste of the chili peppers mixed with the deliciousness of the fish diffused in the square, Some of them didn't fit in, they sneezed again and again, and some of them felt very fragrant and came over to ask.
Huo Bai on the side followed Gu Xi's instructions, brushed honey on the ingredients to be roasted, and the simple version of the brush was still freshly made, so he tied a small animal skin with a stick, and divided some barbecue meat and sprinkled some chili powder, and as soon as the fire was roasted, the fragrance was overflowing.
"Wow, Gu Xi, what are you making so fragrant?" Shen He came over excitedly.
"Made of chili peppers, the red fruit that Uncle Xue found, but ...... You can't eat it now, people who are sick and take medicine can't eat these stimulating foods, I also made fish soup" Gu Xi said, looking at Shen He's little face that collapsed in an instant.
"Xiaohe, I'll learn from Gu Xi, when you're well, I'll make it for you to eat every day" Yao Shen hurriedly comforted, his little Shen's face was gone, and he must work hard to make up for it.
Gu Xi looked at the intimate appearance of the two, then looked at Huo Bai, who was busy, and walked over: "The fish is stewed, I'll help you bake it together" After speaking, he sat down next to Huo Bai, and the two of them roasted the meat quietly.
An Hua over there is stir-frying vegetables in a stone pot, Wei Da consciously stood aside to help, a pair of eyes on An Hua did not move away, just last night, An Hua has agreed to be his partner, he also successfully passed Uncle An's level, with the consent of the patriarch, he will also go to the Tiger Clan to live together after An Hua completes his studies, he is really looking forward to it, life is really getting better and better.
The simple chili stewed fish is out of the pot, the three big fish are directly placed in the pot, the fresh and tender fish meat with its own umami and stewed through the spicy taste, it is really a special taste, Gu Xi gave some to everyone who can eat, a large pot was quickly divided, honey barbecue and chili barbecue are also ready, each of them is very popular with the clansmen, and those who are still sick can only look at it with resentment.
"Delicious!" Yao Shen ate spicy fish, and held a chili powder-grilled meat skewer in one hand, sweating profusely.
"Mmmm, it's delicious" Shen He couldn't eat spicy, but he was also very satisfied with eating this meat roasted with honey, "I really want Gu Xi to stay here forever, so that we can eat more delicious food." ”
"It's the same to ask Yao Shen to learn from me," Gu Xi said, Yao Shen nodded actively on the side.
Huo Bai put his arm around Gu Xi's shoulder: "There are still many new things in our tribe, if you have time, you can go and see it together, everyone can go and see it, the Tiger Clan will always welcome you." ”
Everyone said that when they were free, they would definitely go to the Tiger Clan to have a look.
