Chapter 0047: Ye Ni
"Sister-in-law, don't count, Kailin beats randomly, she can't fight at all like this." Ge Kaijian and Ge Kaituo refused to come.
Graham came out of the house and ran under the big locust tree: "I'll count them, and see how many sparrows I can eat today." ”
Several other people competed for fun, but Ge Kailin herself was not in a hurry or impatient, until Ge Kaisen frowned and turned back, she smiled and asked, "Second brother, how many are you going to eat?" ”
Ge Kaijian and Ge Kaituo aim at the sparrow by their eyes, and she aims at the sparrow by their ears.
Ge Kailin's sense of balance is poor, coupled with her lack of hand strength, she also hit three out of ten, the same score as Ge Kaijian.
Ge Kaijian and Ge Kaituo were not convinced, and shouted to continue the comparison.
crackled and shot again, and it wasn't until Sun Yingli scolded that the three of them reluctantly stopped.
Under the big locust tree, Sun Yingli's room is just covered, the stones fall on the roof, crackling, Sun Yingli is not afraid of slingshots hitting people, she is distressed about the broken roof tiles.
After counting, there were more than 30 sparrows in total, and Ge Kaituo called out: "Sister-in-law, come over and help, let's eat sparrow meat at noon today, hehe, there are a lot of stews." ”
"Okay, I'm here." Ge Yifen came over as soon as he ran.
There is a little bit of meat on the chest of the sparrow, but in fact, there is not much to eat, but this is enough for a few little babies to be excited.
The four little babies plus Ge Yifen, the eldest girl, soon more than 30 sparrows were disposed of, and Ge Kaisen stewed the sparrows into the pot.
When the flood passed and Hao Shenmei allowed a few babies to go out, Ge Kailin was all over the ground.
The voles, rabbits, pheasants, and snakes in the field, the fish and shrimp in the river, and the birds that don't fly high in the sky, she will not let go of anything she can touch, darts and slingshots.
Playing happily, she pestered Ge and Ge Ding Chou to make her a bow and arrow, and she didn't let go of the prey a little farther away.
As Ge Kailin's body became stronger day by day, Hao Shenmei's worries deepened day by day: "Xin Chou, is it time to take care of Nizi, you see that she is more wild than a kid now, if she continues to develop like this, who will dare to marry her when she grows up." ”
Ge Xinchou didn't care at all: "Hehe, you think ahead, she's still young, let's follow her first, when I go to school, I won't have time to go out into the wilderness." ”
Hao Shenmei is still not at ease: "Seeing that school is about to start and sign up, I'm really afraid that she won't be able to accept it by then." ”
"Nizi's cleverness follows you, and she won't be out of measure." For the doting of his daughter, Ge Xin has no lower limit.
"Where is she now?" I haven't seen my daughter for a long time after going home, and Ge Xinchou feels empty in my heart.
"Oh, I took my three brothers up the mountain to collect medicine." Hao Shenmei said with a smile.
The girl remembered that one came out of the other, and heard that there were wild medicinal herbs on the dry land mountain, and she was making a fuss about going up the mountain early this morning.
Ge Kaisen usually likes to get some wild things in exchange for money, for him to collect medicine is not a problem at all, as soon as Ge Kailin said that he wanted to go up the mountain to see, he immediately accompanied him.
Ge Kaituo is not interested in collecting medicine, he likes fishing, and he also went by the way, the dryland river is not far from the dryland mountain, the second brother and sister collect medicine, he fishes.
It's summer vacation now, Ge Kaijian is crazy, and he can't go to the mountains to play.
Hao Shenmei didn't know that as early as the night when Gao Liuzhi disappeared, following the direction in which Gao Liuzhi ran away, Ge Kailin saw an extremely rare special medicinal material, a gourd curtain.
Ge Kailin didn't say anything at the time, and she didn't rush to dig later, since the gourd curtain grew there, it showed that ordinary people couldn't recognize it, and she was not afraid of being poached.
During this time, I went up the mountain from time to time to see how the medicinal herbs looked.
Judging from the branches and leaves exposed to the ground, the gourd curtain is no different from the surrounding weeds, just like the protective color of animals, the gourd curtain will also imitate the environment, what the surrounding weeds look like, what it looks like, but it is very picky about the growth environment.
It must be sunny, have enough sunshine time, the light should not be too strong, the soil should be loose and damp, but not too much moisture, otherwise the roots will rot, the ambient temperature is moderate, too cold or too hot, and they will not survive.
The place where Ge Kailin found the gourd curtain was facing south, and the sun was abundant;
There is dense and proper woods to shade the sun, and the light is not too strong;
The root system of the forest is well developed, and the water and soil are solidified, so that the land is loose and moist;
Because it is a hillside, the soil does not retain much water;
The area where Yicun is located is not less than minus 20 degrees Celsius in the coldest part of winter, and about 30 degrees Celsius in the hottest time of summer.
All these conditions are just right for the demanding requirements of the gourd curtain.
Just like the roots of peanuts, the roots of the gourd curtain are composed of countless fine hair roots, which are slightly thicker than the fine hair roots of peanuts, and the roots are regularly strung with nodules smaller than peanuts and shaped like gourds.
Not only gourd-like nodules can be used in medicine, but also fine hair roots also have medicinal value that cannot be ignored.
Experienced herb pickers, when digging gourd curtains, will carefully cut the soil, try not to break its hair roots, expose the complete plant, and finally hold the stalk and gently lift it.
On the fine hair roots, there are countless small gourds arranged in order, which seem to be like a curtain strung up by a gourd, I don't know which herb picker named it, gourd curtain.
If left undisturbed, the fine hairy roots of the gourd curtain will continue to grow deep into the earth, and the root nodules will gradually deepen.
The most important point is that the surface of the gourd curtain leaves is covered with a tiny, phosphor like something, which looks indistinguishable from those weeds during the day, and only slightly different at night.
Moreover, because the amount is so small, it is generally not visible to the naked eye.
"This is a peculiar drug, it is useless to use it in normal times, and it will only exert unexpected effects when the medicine stone is ineffective."
When Ge Kailin saw the gourd curtain, this sentence immediately popped up in her mind, but when she carefully recalled who said it, her mind was blank again.
In the evening, Ge Kaisen took out all the money he had saved, one, two, five, one cent, two cents, one cent, the largest ticket was two yuan, scattered a lot.
counted it, and the money that the three brothers and sisters spent on wild animals and medicinal herbs during this period of time was more than thirty-five yuan.
Ge Kailin's eyes widened: "Wow, so much, Dad, Mom, is this money enough for me and my brother to go to school?" ”
A vole skin is only a dime, there are many voles, this is the easiest to get, a rabbit skin can not be sold for five cents, the number of rabbits in the field is less than that of voles, but it is also common, these two are best to get.
Things like pheasants and snakes are a little more expensive, but they are even less abundant, and it takes a lot of work to get them.
Medicinal materials are commonly used medicines, such as wolfberry, psyllium, mint, dandelion, etc., which are only a few cents a pound when dried.
To save so much money, you can see how difficult it is.
Ge Kailin didn't dig up the gourd curtain back, and it was best to let it stay where it was if others didn't know it.
What's more, the older the thing, the better the efficacy.
She didn't want to use the gourd curtain for money for the time being, for fear of disaster, and then she kept it for emergencies.
