Chapter Eighty-Three: The Third Entry into the Mountain
Entering the mountain, Su Xiaoxiao walked directly to the place where the hawthorn was picked last time.
This time she went up the mountain mainly to pick hawthorns, not to pick medicine as she said. Because she thought that in a few days it would be a larger market in the town, and she wondered if she could use those hawthorns to make sugar gourds to sell for money, no matter how much, she could help her family supplement some household supplies.
I didn't dig up many edible wild vegetables along the way, it's not that there are no wild vegetables, it's just that it's a lot older than a few days ago, and it's not that I can't eat it, but it's just that it's too old to eat and stuff my teeth, and the taste is not good when it's tender, so she didn't dig those who looked old.
Of course, she didn't know much about herbs, so it was impossible to really pick any useful herbs, so Su Dahu picked a lot of herbs along the way that were used to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain.
"Second sister! Didn't you say that you went up to the mountains to collect medicine? Su Xiaohu looked at Su Xiaoxiao's basket full of wild vegetables or something, smiled at her and pointed to the basket and asked, "Then what is in here?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "It's good to have a big brother in herbal medicine, can you still use me?" ”
"And what do you want to do up the mountain?" When he went out, he knew that Su Xiaoxiao couldn't have gone up the mountain to collect medicine, and he had such a big basket on his back, and he didn't know how many things she had to pack.
"Remember the hawthorn you picked last time? That's a good thing, and it can be exchanged for a lot of copper coins. "Now Su Xiaoxiao has a certain attachment to copper coins, don't blame her, it's really that this family is too poor, even the oil has to be measured, if it weren't for the big cat who went up the mountain to hunt a wild boar and came back, their family should have run out of oil a long time ago. The big tiger is good, and it can also hit a lot of prey, but it can't guarantee that their house will run out of oil. You can be so lucky to hunt wild boars or other large animals.
It is not Su Xiaoxiao's character to sit and eat empty, and there is nothing bad about taking precautions. So! Now she has to try every way to make money.
"Oh!" He didn't know what hawthorn was, but he was still happy when he heard that he could exchange money, and he also knew that the second sister was capable now, and she said that if she could make money, she could make money, so she didn't ask much. It's just that when I see wild mushrooms on the road, I still ask if I can eat them. If Su Xiaoxin can eat it, then pick it. If you can't eat it, forget it.
When he came to the place where he picked the hawthorn a few days ago, and saw that the hawthorn on the hawthorn tree was even redder than the one he saw a few days ago, Su Xiaoxiao smiled. She knew that it was time to pick this hawthorn, and at this time, it could be left for a few more days, and it would take a few more days to pick it. If it's too cooked, it won't last long.
Su Xiaoxiao patted Su Xiaohu's shoulder and said very seriously: "You can climb trees." I'll leave the high spot to you, but be safe and don't fall like you did last time. ”
Look at a tree full of small red fruits. The corners of Su Xiaohu's eyes twitched fiercely, what did he think it was, it turned out to be the kind of wild fruit that was so sour that he was about to lose his teeth. But can this be exchanged for money?
"Second sister, can this be exchanged for money?" Su Xiaohu was full of doubts if he had offended Su Xiaoxiao. That's why she's going to punish herself.
"Why not?" Saying that, Su Xiaoxiao also picked one and rubbed it on his body and threw it into his mouth, took a few bites, spit out a few cores, and looked at Su Xiaohu and said, "It tastes good, do you want to eat one?" ”
"Don't." He didn't dare to eat it, you must know that he had eaten this so-called hawthorn before, but he really didn't dare to compliment the taste, and now he feels that his mouth is full of saliva when he thinks about it.
"Xiaoxiao, you just came up the mountain to pick this thing, right?" Su Dahu also knew at this time that Su Xiaoxiao's so-called going up the mountain to collect medicine was an excuse.
"Hmmm! Big brother, you can also help pick it together. As she spoke, she took Su Dahu's hand and shook it a little coquettishly, she knew that it was wrong to lie to him, but if she didn't lie to him, would he agree to go up the mountain by herself? So, uh-huh
"You" Su Dahu nodded Su Xiaoxiao's forehead, and he was a little speechless.
"Big brother, you're the best!" Su Xiaoxiao shook Su Dahu's arm coquettishly, smiling a little flatteringly.
Su Xiaohu watched Su Xiaoxiao acting coquettishly in front of Su Dahu on the side, and laughed happily. His second sister is also too funny, she was so tough when she went out, but now she is so well! He didn't know how to say that.
Su Xiaoxiao turned his head and glared at Su Xiaohu, so that he didn't dare to laugh anymore, so he turned his head to curry favor with Su Dahu.
"Okay, okay, it's already here, what else can it be?" Su Dahu also had no choice but to take Su Xiaoxiao, so he shook his head helplessly and soon climbed the hawthorn tree. "Tell me, what do you want?"
"You can do it all, anything." Su Xiaoxiao smiled heartily under the tree, and she knew that Su Dahu would not be angry.
You can listen to Su Xiao's novels, so I don't ask anything anymore, and I have taken them all down. Just now he heard her say that these red wild fruits can be exchanged for money, and now it is not so exclusive to go up to the tree to pick these wild fruits.
For a while, it was also quiet, Su Xiaoxiao picked the low place under the tree, and Su Dahu and Su Xiaohu picked the higher part of the tree.
Soon, the basket that Su Xiaoxiao carried was already full, and even the basket in his hand was almost full, but there were still many unfinished ones on the tree.
"Second sister, there's nowhere to put it." Su Xiaohu looked at the basket and basket that were already full, and then looked up at the tree, only half of it was picked.
Su Xiaoxiao also looked at the hawthorn tree with some embarrassment, last time she didn't pay attention to how many hawthorns there were on the hawthorn tree, and thought that a back basket could almost fit it, but now it seems that she still underestimated the number of hawthorns.
"Or I'll send it back first." If she let go of those hawthorns on the tree like this, Su Xiaoxiao would still feel a little distressed, you must know that these hawthorns are a lot of silver in her eyes.
"Forget it, that's it for today." Su Dahu jumped off the tree, took the basket that Su Xiaoxiao put under the tree and carried it on his back. In fact, he still doesn't believe that these wild fruits can be exchanged for money.
"That's not going to work." Su Xiaoxiao still disagreed, you must know that if he can really exchange the silver and come back, she believes that it will not be long before the people in the village will soon come to the mountains to find these hawthorns, while only she knows now, why not pick some more.
"Then what do you want, there's no place to put it here, and you can't take it back if you pick it up." Su Dahu really didn't understand why Su Xiaoxiao was so confused.
Seeing that Su Dahu looked like he insisted on refusing to take it off, Su Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, and knew that it was impossible for him to say anything, so he had to nod in agreement, but when he left, he still looked back reluctantly.
"Second sister, I know that there is another place where this kind of fruit is also available." Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's listless appearance, Su Xiaohu kindly told Su Xiaoxiao that he had also seen this kind of fruit that she called hawthorn in other places.
"Really?" Su Xiaoxiao was happy, she really didn't think that there were hawthorns in other places.
"Really." Su Xiaohu nodded seriously, he didn't understand that this fruit was really so good and could be exchanged for money.
"Okay, let's come up in the afternoon and pick this one, and then go and see the place you mentioned." Su Xiaoxiao was happy when she thought of hawthorn, this thing is the main ingredient for making rock sugar gourds in modern times, and I don't know if there is one in ancient times, if not, she will send it.
