Although the sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs, she does not dare to eat the internal organs. The internal organs of wild animals are often too high in vitamin A, and they may be poisoned if they eat them, and sparrows are protected animals in their previous lives, so they cannot be caught and eaten casually. Tang and Rou had never eaten it, so they couldn't be sure if the internal organs would be poisonous, and for the sake of safety, it would be easier to clean them all.

But it was a pity to throw it away, and she found a bowl of sparrow entrails to put in it, intending to ask Orion later for advice on how to make a trap. Use the entrails of the sparrow as bait to lure mouses, hares or other wild beasts.

The bonfire that was lit yesterday had not yet been dismantled, so Tang and Rou took a fire from under the stove lit by the young lady, added firewood to the bonfire, and roasted sparrows.

With only salt and no other seasonings, the taste of this sparrow will be very ordinary.

Tang Yourou slapped her head suddenly, how could she forget that she could use chicken soup?

The crockpot was taken out of the well, the chicken soup was frozen because of the temperature of the deep well, and a drop of chicken fat that had condensed on it was scooped up, applied to the sparrows, and handcuffed on the campfire.

After a while, the oil on the sparrow's flesh melted, sizzled, and the fragrance wafted out.

"It smells so good!" Tang Dou'er, who was in the house, was awakened by the incense, and came out of the house with her eyes closed, her little head still raised high, and her nose kept inhaling the fragrance.

Tang Youniang was also hungry, swallowing desperately on the side.

This is natural chicken essence, can it not be fragrant?

Split the crispy little sparrow into two halves and gave half to each brother and sister, while Tang and Rou only gnawed their heads. Add some water to the chicken soup crockpot, reheat and boil, take out the remaining chicken and divide it into three parts, and save the soup for the evening.

The sparrows are too small, the moisture is roasted dry by the fire, and the meat is not enough to stuff the teeth. There wasn't much chicken left, but it was much happier than the usual poverty.

The two little ones were ordered by Tang and Rou to chew slowly, chewing with exaggerated movements while eating, and their eyes invariably glanced at the chirping birds in the trees, probably thinking about how to catch them all.

Tang and Rou looked at their little eyes and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After breakfast, I barely filled up four points alone, and finally had the strength to work.

Tang Yourou carried a bamboo basket on his back and planned to go up the mountain to collect medicine, but when he left, he saw the young lady drying wild vegetables, and then returned to the house to make hemp again. Tang Dou'er was resting behind the haystack, and saw that his little hands were not stopping, and the straw rope was rubbed out from between his hands.

Why are these two little guys working inefficiently?

"You two don't do that." Tang and Rou beckoned them to come over and stuffed a tael of silver into the young lady's hand, "You go to Lizheng's house together to buy flour and rice, and it is enough to buy a hundred yuan, and make cakes to eat tonight." She remembered the astringent oranges she had just eaten, and stretched out her hand to gesture to the mountains west of the village, "After buying them, we will go to the mountains to peel the oranges and bring them back to dry." Remember to peel the peel of ripe orange orange as much as possible, no insects, no mildew, as many as you want. ”

Late autumn and early winter are the season when oranges are ripe, and these astringent oranges are not tasty, and large pieces rot on the mountains. But orange peel can be picked to dry. If the weather is beautiful, it can be dried and eaten in three months, and if it can be dried for a year, it can be made into tangerine peel. When the time comes, whether it is used to sell medicine or to put some in cooking, it is excellent.

The people in the village don't know how to medicine, and Yang Mian, who is greedy for money, can't look down on these wild fruits, but he cheapens Tang and Rou.

After assigning tasks to her younger siblings, she was relieved to carry the bamboo basket on her back and go to another hill on the other side of the Huangsha River in the west of the village.

The sky was already bright, but under the cover of the layers of tree branches, the mountain was cloudy and windy, and the vision was not clear.

The mountain fog dissipated, and the humidity was much less, but the withered straw rattan shoes were still too slippery when stepping on the moss. Fortunately, the original owner was familiar with the mountain road, and Tang and Rou groped forward, only stumbling for a while at the beginning, and soon mastered the skills of mountain climbing.

There are weeds under your feet, and you can step on a few of them as soon as you step on them. Most of these weeds have a sour and bitter taste, and they are only picked when the villagers are down. In the past few years, the mountain has almost been bald, but the roots are still there, and after two years of growth, these weeds have grown back.

If it weren't for her knowledge of herbs, many of them would have been here for decades before they were discovered by famous doctors.

Tang and Rou quickly filled a basket with herbs.

Wormwood, Atractylodes, Banxia, Angelica Angelica, Sand Kernel, Yanhusuo, Dandelion, Honeysuckle, Wild Citron, Desmodium, Eucommia...... Most grasses and roots have to be crushed, cut, dried, watered, and fire-made before they can be called medicine. If Uncle Jin's ancestral acupuncture needles can't be used, at least some herbs can be used to barely survive.

Just as she was carrying a basket of herbs down the mountain, she suddenly noticed a withered vegetable at the foot of the mountain.

Yes, not grass, but vegetables!

A few petals of cabbage have been drooping down, and the yellow rape flowers have withered and blackened, and small pods have formed underneath. The seeds were overripe and burst, leaving several black rapeseed in the vicinity.

This looks like the rape I'm used to eating in my last life!

Tang and Rou are like treasures.

I have the impression that most of the people in the village grow wheat and all kinds of beans in their fields, and no one knows how to grow vegetables yet. But they don't know that it is because they have been eating poisonous wild vegetables that they will cause damage to the liver and kidneys, so that the bottom of the body is poisoned, and everything goes wrong.

What kind of luck was this, she actually picked up rape seeds! This kind of seed must be of great use!

Tang and Rou carefully put the seeds back in their pockets, thinking about how to make them germinate.

I returned to the village by the same route, and on the way I met many women who had washed their clothes from the river. They were in groups of three or five, with wooden basins and washed linen clothes on their waists, and when they saw Tang and Rou, they avoided from a distance, and whispered in their mouths.

"It's this disaster, I heard that I went to Dr. Yang's hospital last night to make a big fuss."

"Alas, a little girl, why are there so many things?"

"Don't get too close to her, stay away from her."

Tang and Rou silently carried the bamboo basket on their backs, shielded the sound from their ears, and walked around them to the dilapidated house.

Shouldn't she be thankful now that Uncle Ah Jin, Fat Aunt and Old Man Luo didn't dislike her reputation as a disaster star?

From a distance, a big man wearing a straw hat sat at the door of the dilapidated house, tinkering with the bird trapping mechanism placed outside the courtyard, and a burlap bag was placed on the dirt floor at his feet.

Tang and Rou took a closer look, and it turned out to be Uncle Orion.

She stopped and watched quietly for a while, and Uncle Ah Jin dismantled the trap they had placed outside the courtyard, as if he was making a new trap for birds, and asked, "Uncle Ah Jin, what are you doing?" ”

Only then did Orion Ah Jin realize that she was coming, reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in disgust: "Hey, you little dolls, can you catch birds with such baskets?" I starved myself to death and couldn't eat a single hair. Look, what I made for you, it won't block the view, as long as the bird pulls here, the basket on the edge will be closed. Uncle Orion put the readjusted bamboo strips on the ground and showed them to Tang and Rou, "This bamboo is too old, it's about to break, you have to find a new one, tough!" This can only be used for a few months, remember to find good bamboo! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Jin!"

There are already two more crockpots in the shady place of the yard, and it turns out that Tang Youniang and Tang Douer are quick with their hands and feet, and they have bought rice and noodles. The orange peel has also been picked back and forth, but because the orange peel at home is not enough, it is only dumped in the corner of the yard at random. There were a few pieces blown to the ground by the wind, and a few circles of chickens stuck out their heads and pecked at orange peels.

Tang Yourou didn't care about these chores for the time being, put the herbal basket on his back in the shade behind the house, opened the package handed by Uncle Ah Jin, and took out Uncle Ah Jin's ancestral acupuncture needle to check it.

This needle seems to have passed through the hands of many people, and the fine silk tied to the needle handle has turned yellow, but there is no rust, and the size and thickness of the needle and the toughness are very good. The style was almost the same as what she had learned, and she brought stones to Uncle Ah Jin and healed him in the courtyard.
