"A lot?"

Since the fight came over, Zhang Tao has not eaten a serious breakfast, and now it must be settled, shouldn't breakfast be eaten like this in normal life?

"Eh, little Brother Tao, I think we really have more breakfast, it should be enough for us to eat at noon."

Xiaoman did a lot of psychological struggle before she decided to tell the truth, she did this for their future life, if Zhang Tao was allowed to be so extravagant and wasteful, I am afraid they would not be able to survive in a few days.

"It's okay, make more in the morning, and you can eat the rest at noon, but don't cook so much for dinner."

Li Chengshou saw Zhang Tao's embarrassment, so he found him a step down.

In the final analysis, now that the money for their food and accommodation is earned by Zhang Tao, it is understandable that she wants to eat better.

"It's okay, Xiaoman, eat more in the morning, we will go into the mountain in a while, I specially baked some more cakes in the morning, we can take them to the mountain to eat."

Zhang Tao really hasn't experienced the life of a poor family, and in modern society, even if it is hard to meet the basic food and clothing, it is still not a problem.

She didn't know how hard people's lives were in this era, but looking at how much Xiaoman and Li Chengshou cared about food, Zhang Tao also understood that she should change her mentality. Now everything is starting anew, and extravagance and waste are absolutely impossible.

After breakfast, the three of them took some dry food and headed for the mountain outside the city.

"Let's go to the place where we picked the mushrooms yesterday and see if there are any new ones, I made a few traps around there yesterday, maybe there will be a hare to fall."

Li Chengshou said this before entering the mountain, although Zhang Tao pays more attention, but when it comes to understanding the mountains, Li Chengshou, a male doll who grew up in the mountains, must know more than her.

The three of them came to the place where the mushrooms were picked yesterday, Xiaoman continued to pick the newly grown mushrooms with the bamboo basket on his back, Zhang Tao went to see if there were any new mushrooms in the places where white fungus and bamboo sunflower were found yesterday, and Li Chengshou went directly to the trap.

Just finished picking yesterday, Zhang Tao didn't have much hope for the new white fungus and bamboo sun, these two things are relatively scarce, and it is already God's favor to be able to pick up so many yesterday.

However, she still carefully inspected the place where the white fungus and bamboo sunflower were found, and carefully did the soil restoration work, if the soil is completely destroyed, the fungus will die and will not grow at all.

In her previous life, Zhang Tao had tinkered with the cultivation of mushrooms at home, and she had planted shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, white fungus or something, and she knew the principles more comprehensively. She is ready to wait for the living conditions to improve or find other ways to make money, and try to cultivate some shiitake mushrooms or white fungus, which will definitely be a lot of income if successful.

The trap on Li Chengshou's side was also empty, and he soon came over to join Zhang Tao Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, you pick mushrooms here, I'll go over there to see if there are any others that can be picked back and sold for money."

Yesterday, the area where Xiaoman picked mushrooms was quite large, and today there are a lot of them.

At this time, Li Chengshou came over, originally planning to pick mushrooms from Xiaoman, but when he saw that Zhang Tao was going to go around other places, he followed Zhang Tao directly.

"How's your harvest going?"

Seeing Li Chengshou coming empty-handed, Zhang Tao thought that he had put his prey in one place, and he would just take it away when he went back.

"I haven't caught any of them, and I have to make a few more trips to this mountain, and I need to go to some more places."

Li Chengshou was in a low mood, he was full of confidence before entering the mountain, he had a good harvest yesterday, thinking that there should be one or two in the trap today.

"Oh, it's normal if you don't, you don't have any experience in hunting, it's all the methods you figured out when you played before, and it's good to have more experience in the future."

Zhang Tao patted Li Chengshou on the shoulder and comforted him, you can't have too high requirements for a ten-year-old child, things will be the opposite. She forgot that she was still a seven-year-old.

Li Chengshou, who was originally in a low mood, was even more depressed after listening to Zhang Tao's words, and was actually comforted by someone several years younger than him, and Li Chengshou's young heart was hit again.

But after all, they are children, and they are not happy to come quickly, and when they catch a hare, Li Chengshou has long forgotten that the trap has found nothing.

Li Chengshou happily continued to look for other rabbit nests or other small animals with the hare, while Zhang Tao devoted himself to finding high-value plants that could be sold for money.

Hunting is quite difficult for her small body now, and picking some plants to sell is more executable, and people have to do what they can do.

Zhang Tao still carefully searched for every place, especially in some bushes, her experience and intuition told her that these places were easier to hide good things.

Indeed, Zhang Tao soon found a place where Bupleurum grows.

Bupleurum is a commonly used antidote. It is also known as smoked, mountain vegetables, mushroom grass, firewood grass, bitter taste, slightly cold, and belongs to the liver and gallbladder meridians. It has the effect of reconciling the inside and the outside, soothing the liver and raising the sun.

It is found in many mountains, and it is a very common medicinal herb in the mountains.

Zhang Tao carefully dug out the Bupleurum chinensis, the medicinal part of the Bupleurum is in its roots, and the quality of the dug-out roots directly affects the medicinal value, which also affects the price.

After returning home, I have to remove the stems, leaves, and sediment from the bupleurum and dry it, so that the finished product can be sold at a good price at the pharmacy.

After Zhang Tao finished digging up the chaihu, she looked up and saw a sugar maple tree, and she was stupid at that time.

The maple leaf of the sugar maple is the one on the Canadian flag, and the sugar maple is also the state tree of New York, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, etc.

In a word, this is an important tree that grows in North America.

She always thought that she had traveled to a certain era in ancient China, but now it seems that it is not like that at all, and there are firewood, hares, and sugar maples in this place where she is......

What the hell did she cross over?

Li Chengshou saw Zhang Tao staring at the sugar maple tree in a daze, so he walked over.

"What's wrong with you? Haven't seen Sugar Maple? ”

It's also called Sugar Maple? Zhang Tao's mood at the moment is not to mention how complicated it is.

"It's pretty good-looking."

"Oh, I just saw that there are a lot of sugar maples in this forest, and we have one in our house, and it will turn red in autumn and look good."

Li Chengshou really thought that Sugar Maple was very beautiful, and thought that Zhang Tao had never seen it, so he happily introduced it to Zhang Tao.

"Did you know that the sap of this tree is sweet?"

Zhang Tao remembers that when she went to Canada before, she watched the process of making maple syrup by farmers, and when she made a hole in the sugar maple tree, the juice would flow out, and after steaming to make maple syrup, and after a series of complicated processes to make expensive maple syrup.

She suddenly regretted that she didn't carefully watch the process of making maple candy at that time, otherwise now guarding these sugar maple trees, she can make a lot of money by making maple sugar, and she doesn't have to run around for money anymore.

Alas, it seems that I really don't have the life to make this money.

"Really? I've never seen it, sugar is very expensive, if this juice is sweet, can we sell it directly? ”

Under Zhang Tao's subtle influence, Li Chengshou now also has a strong ideological consciousness of making money.

"That's not good, if you want to cook and refine, we'd better think of a way to make money with maple syrup."

Simply selling juice can also make some money, but it is not a long-term solution, and it is easy to be discovered and stolen by others.

"Then let's think about it slowly, anyway, the sugar maple tree won't run here, and others may only be able to chop wood for fire or make furniture in addition to seeing it look good."

Li Chengshou said disapprovingly, he has seen a lot of sugar maple trees, and no one has ever said that it is sweet, so it can be seen that no one has found this use of the sugar maple tree that Zhang Tao said.

The idea is indeed not something that can be thought of, Zhang Tao accepted Li Chengshou's suggestion, put away the bupleurum well, and continued to look for medicinal materials and mushrooms.

By the time the three of them came down the mountain, the three baskets were still full. This time, white fungus and bamboo sunflower were not collected, and a lot of fungi were collected, but more were newly discovered medicinal materials by Zhang Tao.

Back at home, Li Chengshou carried the fungus and rabbit on his back, and went to the Jade Building alone to deliver the goods, and Xiaoman, under the guidance of Zhang Tao, helped Zhang Tao deal with those medicinal materials.

In fact, it is not difficult to deal with medicinal materials, the main thing is to be careful, from cleaning, drying, drying, to slicing or something, you need to be careful, Xiaoman has a well-behaved personality, and it is most suitable to do this.

Originally, Zhang Tao planned to get it herself, but after Xiaoman made a dish and Zhang Tao couldn't see any oil stars, she decisively decided to let her do a job that was more suitable for her and come to the kitchen by herself.

Xiaoman also complained a few words about this, saying that the stove room is a woman's place, and Zhang Tao should not be a man who cooks in the stove room.

Zhang Tao told Xiaoman confidently: "The three of us are all children, what men and women, of course, whoever cooks and eats is who cooks, and in a few days we will take turns to do it, and Li Chengshou will also have to do it." ”

The gentleman is far away from cooking, it is a feudal evil force, it is not worth mentioning at all, Zhang Tao absolutely can't accept it, not to mention that she is a woman, okay?

To be reasonable, Xiaoman will definitely not be able to talk about Zhang Tao, so he will go to clean the medicinal herbs.

When Li Chengshou came back, Zhang Tao's dinner was also ready, and Xiaoman's medicinal materials were almost washed.

"There are a lot of large and small pharmacies in Xunyang City, can you sell this medicinal material at a high price?"

Pharmacies generally have their own procurement channels, and some large pharmacies have their own planting bases, and there are really not many people who go to pharmacies to sell medicinal materials.

Li Chengshou thinks so, but Zhang Tao doesn't see it that way.

The reason why there are few people who go to sell medicinal materials is because there are few people who know medicinal materials, such as Bupleurum vulgaris, if someone sells them, the pharmacy will definitely want them, because they are not afraid that they will not be able to sell them, but the price may not be high.
