Chapter 67: Going up the mountain to collect medicine

Early the next morning, Yao Huang and Yao Qing went up the mountain together again, and Yao Qing also brought his homemade slingshot. The slingshot has become popular among the boys in the village, and the boys can not only play with each other, but also use it to hunt pheasants and hares and other small game to achieve unexpected effects, so that the boys will love it.

Yao Qing carried a basket on his back, a slingshot hanging from his waist, and a wooden stick in his hand to open the way in front. At this time, the grass on the mountain is luxuriant, and it is the best season for snakes to be infested, and walking on the mountain road is difficult to ensure that you will not alarm the snakes lying in the grass and bite people unexpectedly. If it's not poisonous, it's fine, but if it's poisonous, it's bad. In this regard, the villagers only have a solution, they apply realgar to the edge of the shoes a little, which has a certain snake repellent effect. Yao Qing and Yao Huang's shoes were also coated with realgar, and the two of them also carried the insect repellent medicine prepared by Yao Huang, snakes, insects, rats and ants did not dare to approach the two of them - although they couldn't remember the things that had crossed the world and the world after each crossing, but after returning, Yao Huang still remembered the things that had crossed the world and the world world, especially the knowledge learned in those world world seemed to be engraved in Yao Huang's mind, and he couldn't forget it if he wanted to, and it became Yao Huang's own knowledge. Today's Yao Huangqinqi is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and her medical skills are even more brilliant, but she doesn't dare to show it all at once, so she can only show it gradually.

In July and August, the mountains and forests are the most lively and abundant, not to mention the abundance of species, and the animals in the mountains and forests are also the most active. Soon after the two of them went up the mountain, Yao Qing hunted two pheasants and a hare. The two of them also encountered a roe deer, and before Yao Qing could react, the roe deer jumped into the bushes. Yao Qing was so annoyed that he almost gnawed the head of the slingshot.

Yao Huang smiled secretly in her heart, if she made a move. Naturally, the roe deer cannot escape, but there is no shortage of food at home. Yao Qing hunted pheasants and hares again, there was not much more roe deer, and there were many roe deer, and she didn't want to kill more. Yao Huang's purpose in entering the mountain was to pick herbs, although Zhiran Immortal Jun left her a lot of medicinal materials, but those were all high-grade medicinal materials in the cultivation realm and the immortal realm, and the pills refined were not ordinary people, even her current cultivation could not stand it. Yao Huang decided to pick some low-grade medicinal materials by himself and refine some pills that ordinary people could also use.

All the way. Yao Qing harvested a lot of lion's mane mushrooms, pine mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, fungus and other mountain delicacies, and Yao Huang also picked some. The people in this world didn't know that the fungus could be eaten, but after Yao Huang made a fungus feast with the fungus, the people in the village knew that the fungus was not only edible, but also tasted very good. However, Yao Huang also told them that they should not eat fresh fungus, which has trace amounts of toxins, and must be dried in the sun, and then soaked and eaten.

There are very few medicinal herbs in the front mountain. Yao Huang remembered that there was a valley on the other side of the mountain, and there were some medicinal herbs in it, but it was a bit far away. Yao Huang discussed it with Yao Qing. Let him wait for him on this side of the hill. Yao Qing nodded in agreement, and he still wanted to catch the roe deer who didn't know where to go. Yao Qing has practiced martial arts for so long, and he has already developed internal strength. The skills are a little stronger than two adult men, plus there are no aggressive beasts in the front mountain. Yao Huang was very relieved about his brother's safety. made an appointment to meet, and Yao Huangfei left. Yao Qing watched her sister's back disappear. I was envious in my heart, and I was determined to practice hard, strive to practice light skills as soon as possible, and shuttle on the branches like my sister.

When he was out of Yao Qing's sight, Yao Huang summoned his flying sword, and shuttled through the forest with his flying sword on his feet, flying towards the valley. The aura in the forest was abundant, Yao Huang bathed in it and felt comfortable all over, her consciousness was completely opened, and she accepted the various emotions of the trees and flowers, she seemed to have become one of them, and she became one with the entire mountain forest. The true yuan in his body rotated rapidly, and the realm that Yao Huang had just broken through was suddenly stable. Joy welled up on the eyebrows, it was an epiphany just now! That feeling of the unity of heaven and man really wants to come again, but Yao Huang also knows that this kind of thing is unavoidable, and it is already her luck to be too greedy.

The varieties of herbs in the valley are uncommon herbs such as Astragalus, Banxia, Xinyihua, Zhapeng Fruit, Deer Bit, Cnidium monnieri and Cat's Claw, and there are no common and valuable herbs such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, no wonder they have not been picked, and a large piece of lush greenery makes Yao Huang very happy to pick.

The other name of the deer bit grass is the Breaking Blood Pill, which can replenish deficiency, benefit the kidney, dispel wind and dampness, invigorate blood and regulate menstruation, treat weak cough, strain and vomiting blood, rheumatic joint pain, collapse and leakage, traumatic bleeding and other symptoms; Cnidium monnieri can warm the kidneys and help yang, dispel wind, dry dampness, kill insects, and treat rheumatism is very effective; Cat's claw is a soothing meridian and active ...... Yao Huang recalled the curative effects and prescriptions of these herbs in the medical art while picking, and soon the bamboo basket was filled with medicinal herbs, but the herbs in the valley were only ten tenths of them. Yao Huang took a small-capacity storage bag from the Sumeru purse - it was said to be a small capacity, and there was also a big room in size, produced by immortals, there were no ordinary products, one or two cubic size storage bags, Zhiran Xianjun couldn't look down on - poured the herbs in the bamboo basket into the storage bag, and Yao Huang continued to collect medicine. Seeing that the sun was in the west, most of this piece of herb was picked by Yao Huang, and Yao Huang was satisfied and flew back to the front mountain with a flying sword.

Yao Qing sat on the rocks on the side of the mountain and waited for Yao Huang to rest, Yao Huang did not see the roe deer, but there were several more pheasants and hares, and the back basket was also full. Yao Qing carried a full back but didn't feel heavy, he thought that he had practiced internal skills, but he didn't know that his sister had drawn a talisman array in the hidden place of the back, which could reduce the weight of at least one-third of the objects in the back.

"Second sister!" Seeing Yao Huang coming by stepping on a branch, Yao Qing hurriedly waved his hand.

"Second sister, have you taken so many medicines?"

"Yes! I'm running out of medicine in the valley, let's go home! ”

When the two of them returned home, Yao Hong and Wenren Chiba had not yet returned home, and Yao Huang instructed Yao Qing to put mountain treasures such as fungus and hazel mushrooms in the yard to dry, and he himself handled the medicinal materials he had collected. Taking advantage of Yao Qing's inattention, he poured out half of the medicinal materials in the storage bag. The medicinal properties of the medicinal materials placed in the storage bag will not be lost, and there is no need to deal with them, and the medicinal materials placed outside must be processed in order to maintain the medicinal properties will not be lost. Yao Huang has done a lot in the reincarnation world, although he has not done it in this world, he has experience, he is very quick to get started, and he will be extremely skilled in a while, compared to the old man who has been in the medicinal herb shop for many years.

By the time all the medicinal herbs and mountain delicacies were completed, the sun had already set on the top of the treetops. Smoke was already curling in the village, and Yao Huang thought that his sister and brother-in-law should be back soon, so he went into the kitchen to cook. Put the rice in a pot and bring it to a boil. Yao Huang began to deal with the pheasants and rabbits that Yao Qing brought back today, and she decided to make a salt-baked chicken and burn another rabbit. With Yao Qing's help, the pheasant and the rabbit were dealt with quickly, the chicken feathers continued to be collected, the rabbit skins were also collected, and there were already several rabbit skins at home, Yao Huang thought about making two robes and hats for Yao Qing and Xiao Ke in winter.

Stuff fennel, licorice, green onion, ginger and other spices into the belly of the chicken, then rub coarse salt and cooking wine on the chicken, and steam for half an hour. When I opened the lid of the pot and smelled it, the taste was rich, the skin was smooth and the meat was smooth, the color was slightly yellow, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, the bone and meat were fragrant, and the flavor was attractive, and Yao Qing's saliva almost flowed down. I ran to the gate of the yard and looked around, hoping that my sister and brother-in-law would come back soon so that he could eat a new flavor of chicken. Two chicken legs, he wants one, and the other is given to Xiao Ke.

Rabbits are dry-roasted. First, wash the rabbit meat, cut it into rabbit dices, add salt, chicken essence, and cooking wine to taste; Heat the oil over high heat, add ginger, garlic, dried chili pepper and peppercorns in a hot pot, stir-fry until fragrant, and then add diced rabbit and homemade chili sauce and stir-fry; After adding soy sauce and mixing well, add a small amount of water and continue to boil until the soup is dry, then add green peppers, celery, and green onions and stir-fry for two minutes.

Yao Huang picked a few greens from the vegetable field in the backyard, there was still chicken soup left from yesterday's stew, Yao Huang made a soup greens, and fried them with the mushrooms picked today, two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, plus yesterday's stewed chicken soup, dinner was very rich.

The remaining pheasants and hares, each with four or five of them, could not be eaten all, so Yao Huang pickled them with cooking wine, sugar, salt and other spices, hung them above the stove, and smoked them dry every day during cooking, so that they could be stored for a little longer. When you want to eat it, you can grill it or steam and fry it, making it simple and delicious.

"Xiaoqing, go to the entrance of the village to see why the eldest sister hasn't come back yet?" Yao Huang stuck his head out of the kitchen and instructed Yao Qing, who was sitting at the gate. The meals are ready, and although the weather is hot now, the meals will still be cold after a long time. The taste of cold meals and dishes after returning to the pot is not as good as the freshly made ones.

"It's back, it's back." After a quarter of an hour, Yao Qing screamed and rushed into the yard, still holding Xiao Ke buns in his hand. Xiao Ke Baozi called Aunt softly, touched his little belly and said, "Auntie, can you eat?" I'm hungry. ”

"It's okay, you go wash your hands first, and Auntie will bring the food to the table." Yao Huang took the dishes out of the pot, and the dishes were still hot and didn't need to be returned to the pot, so Yao Huang served everyone another night of chicken soup and brought it out together.

Yao Qing helped Xiao Ke wash his hands, and Yao Hong and Wenren Qianye also walked into the courtyard side by side. Smelling that Chiba was behind a large cloth bag, he untied the cloth bag and put it on the ground, and there was a metal collision sound in the cloth bag.

"Brother-in-law, what's in the bag?" Yao Huang asked curiously.

"If you open it and see for yourself, you'll know the way." Wenren Chiba smiled.

"Okay, then I'll see." Yao Huang opened the cloth bag and sighed in surprise. (To be continued......)
