Speaking of Houtang, Chunyu found that this is really a good place.

It turned out that there was not only a small pond here, but also rows of mulberry trees on it, and it was the middle of November, and the leaves of the mulberry trees were gradually turning yellow from green. The mulberry tree does not grow very tall, and a person can pick a few leaves very lightly when standing under the tree.

People here have always relied on silkworm weaving to make a living, so each family has to plant a few mulberry trees in their yards, because this is the place of Hushan Tingzhou, and the mulberry trees are also dense. In addition, the temperature in the south is suitable, so it is also divided into three batches of breeding of spring silkworms, summer silkworms, and autumn silkworms, which creates a lot of living income for the people here.

The Liu family has their own affairs, so they have no time to toss the meticulous work of raising silkworms, and only in March when the mulberry leaves begin to be tender and green, Xiaoyuan and Xiaogong will raise some, but it is also very rare. Later, after spit silk, it will not be processed, and it will be sold directly to a small local workshop for some money.

After Xiaoyuan and Xiaogong greeted Chunyu, they ran to the pond with the children, and Chunyu saw that the children were playing, and they were not idle. When she went out, she was able to respond to the scene, and a small basket collapsed in her hand.

She also came to kill boredom, the wetland by the pond was a little slippery, but she didn't dare to approach this pregnant body, she could only watch it from a distance and it was still boring. Now it suddenly occurred to me that the mulberry leaves after autumn were of great use, so I stood under the low mulberry trees that could reach the leaves and picked them.

I deliberately picked those yellowed leaves, and there was also a frost at this time. She had read it in a book before, saying that the frost leaves were harvested after the frost fell, and then the mulberry leaves were removed from the twigs and impurities, dried in the sun, and then crushed, and decorated with stems and sieves to remove the dandruff. Finally, together with the cooked honey, add some boiling water and mix well, simmer for a while, put it in a pot and fry it until it is not sticky, take it out, and let it cool. In this way, the mulberry leaves are made, placed in a cool place, and in the future, some wind, heat, cold, fever, headache, cough, chest pain, or dry lungs, cough without phlegm, dry throat and thirst and other minor diseases, only need to drink some honey mulberry leaves to soak in boiling water, and it can be cured.

When the spring rain was picking mulberry leaves, she was washing clothes on the port under the arched bridge behind her, and there were three or four of them, who were originally talking and laughing and washing clothes, but later someone saw the spring rain picking mulberry leaves. I thought it was strange, and one of the women raised her voice with a smile, and asked the spring rain above, "Sister, are you the little lady who rents the Liu family?" ”

Chunyu heard that someone was asking her, and when she looked back, she saw a few women in Huanyi at the port below, so she said, "Yes, eldest sister, are you washing clothes?" ”

"Yes, it's going to be washed right away, and now the autumn silkworms are gone, what are you doing picking the mulberry leaves of that old terrier?" The same woman who had just asked asked again.

Chunyu smiled when she heard this, and felt that there was nothing to hide, so she told them about the practice of honey mulberry leaves, and several women who said it were amazed and surprised. Which of these poor families doesn't have headaches, brain fevers, colds and flu from time to time, but everyone is not very strict, and they all go through by themselves, otherwise they will have to ask a doctor to see a doctor, and the cost of medicine will cost dozens or even more than a hundred yuan. They work hard every year to make money to support their families, and when the New Year comes, they barely have a happy year, and they can't spend the money they earn......

Now seeing that Chunyu didn't hesitate, he told them such a good secret recipe, so they all hurriedly packed up their clothes and went ashore happily. They actually washed it when they were there, and they just chatted a few words when they had nothing to do. Now that I heard what Chunyu said, the mulberry leaves everywhere still have this effect, I am naturally happy to hurry over to ask for advice.

Chunyu was also patient, and explained the method to them in detail, and it was just to buy some honey, so it was not a bother.

As he spoke, Chunyu had already picked a basket of mulberry leaves, and those women had also picked a lot. At this time, Xiaoyuan and Xiaogong also caught a few fish, and after the friends divided them evenly, they came to find Chunyu and prepared to go home.

Chunyu took a look at the small wooden barrel that the two of them were carrying, and there were really a lot of results in it. There were two larger carps in a bucket, and the other smaller ones Chunyu didn't know, and Xiaoyuan told her that they were: Wang Thorn Fish, Sharphead Fish, Fish Fish, Stick Fish and Wheat Ear Fish, and Chunyu had never heard of them. In the other small bucket, there are a lot of shrimp and snails.

"Oh, little gong, what are you doing with so many vices, not eating your fish." At this time, a woman on the side said.

"Aunt Qiuxia, we want to see them fight, there is no fish in this bucket, they can't eat it." Xiao Gong said with a smile.

"What is a vise?" Chunyu doesn't quite understand.

"That's it." Xiao Gong Xianbao seemed to have to use a wooden stick to put it in the bucket, and immediately a shrimp clamped the stick with tongs, and Chunyu's eyes lit up. There was too much water in the bucket just now and there were snails, and Chunyu didn't see it clearly, thinking it was just an ordinary shrimp with a larger size. Now it seems that there is a vise, which is a real crayfish.

Chunyu loves crayfish the most, but when I came here, I had eaten ordinary shrimp, but I missed the meat and delicious crayfish even more. I didn't expect to see this delicious food here. However, it is said that pregnant women can not eat more, like the red stewed crayfish, fried crayfish can not eat more, but there is no problem with the processed crayfish steamed, thinking of this, Chunyu is very excited.

But she is quiet, after all, not everything can be told to others, and there are many people who are allergic to this lobster, if someone does not handle it properly and eats food poisoning or something, she will not be able to do it. I can't let her talk about the methods one by one, how is it possible......

But fortunately, these women needed to go home to prepare lunch, so they didn't stay long, and after saying goodbye to Chunyu, they went home separately.

After waiting for them to leave, Chunyu asked with a smile: "You sue Aunt Sù, this little dragon...... Uh, is there a lot of this vise pond? ”

"There are a lot of them, and sometimes we are afraid that it will eat all the fish, and we will catch it and throw it away." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"It's a pity...... But it's okay, my aunt told you a secret, but except for your mother and sister-in-law, the others are not from our family, and no one can say it. Chunyu pretended to be mysterious, and sure enough, it aroused the curiosity of the two children, and they hurriedly leaned towards Chunyu, and then Chunyu told them that this vice was actually called crayfish, and her hometown was used to make delicious food, and it was delicious.

The two children believed in Chunyu's words very much, and they were very happy at the moment, and hurriedly pulled Chunyu to the pond.

When they got there, Chunyu thought that they were going to continue the salvage, and did not move forward, for fear of any danger. It turned out that when she saw them go directly to the mulberry tree by the pond, she went over to see it, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that there was a big pit there, and a lot of crayfish were thrown in it, and it seemed that they had hit it by mistake when they were fishing for fish just now, and they did not throw it back into the pond, but threw it directly into the dirt pit on the side. Seeing this, Chunyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked them to pack up all the crayfish, but who knew that there was no home, and finally fortunately, Xiaoluo went to the back of the restaurant to pick up a big basket of waste vegetable leaves, and took it to the pond to wash, that is, he picked up the crayfish with two wooden sticks and put them all into the basket.

Then Xiao Gong carried two small buckets, and Chunyu and Xiao Yuan lifted the basket with sticks and happily returned to Liu's house. (To be continued.) )
