The seeds of these medicinal herbs brought back by Pei Ze took more than half a month to plant them all.

The fields were covered with red thatched straw mats.

After a few days, the seedlings will emerge, and then the straw mat will be uncovered, and the seedlings will grow freely.

The main task of the two of them coming to the mountain was to build a pot stove in that cave, and then build a big kang in the pot stove.

This big kang is not used for sleeping, Pei Ze said that it will be used to store medicinal materials in the future, and it will inevitably be damp when placed on the ground.

Pei Ze took a wooden stick and compared it back and forth in the cave, and began to look for stones in the mountains.

Sichuan pepper is responsible for helping him and mud by the stream.

In less than two hours, the pot stove and the big kang were ready.

Several small holes were carved into the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and wooden strips of just the right thickness were plugged into them to hang clothes or put sickles and hoes.

After this operation, Hua Jiao really realized what it means to have a sky outside the sky and a person outside the world, and she felt that this cave was very similar to a cave, even better than the small cubicle she was sleeping in now.

Even the inside of this big kang is made of stones, and the outside is covered with thick mud mixed with grass stalks, which is very strong and spacious.

Even if a big man like Pei Ze stood on the kang and couldn't reach the top of the cave with his hand, he could indeed store a lot of medicinal materials.

She is now more and more convinced that Pei Ze is from Qinglong Village.

With such a strong hands-on ability, it is definitely not an ordinary person.

The pot stove in Xinlei is made of stone, and the stove mouth is large and square, and a large cauldron of eight people can be placed on it.

Now there is a lack of a pot to boil water.

"I heard you know how to burn a kiln?" Pei Ze asked as he measured the stove with his hand.

"There's too little clay here to make it." Sichuan pepper understood, and said truthfully, "And with such a big pot, I'm not sure that it can be fired." ”

With her craft, it's okay to burn a gadget.

With such a big pot, forget it, she still has this self-knowledge.

The corners of Pei Ze's mouth curled slightly: "You are sincere." ”

He had observed that the little clay by the stream was not enough to burn the clay pot.

Even if there was enough clay, even he was not sure that he would be able to make such a large pot with a thin-shell kiln.

"It's better to be honest, otherwise, you will be slapped in the face." Hua Jiao looked calm, looking at the new cave, the flat and spacious super kang, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she really wanted to live here freely alone, no one bothered, and there were not so many disputes......

A slap in the face?

Pei Ze glanced at her, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw Pei Chunshan hurriedly come to him, and told Pei Ze about the arrest of Guan Mao's brothers and Pei Man, and said worriedly: "Third brother, you have to find a way to do this, your second brother is going to get married in a few days, but he can't be locked up in the yamen." ”

If this is a big deal.

was known by the Yang family, what should I do if this family affair is yellow......

"Dad, you go back first, I'll go to the yamen for a trip." Pei Ze was very calm, washed his hands unhurriedly, got up and left, walked a few steps, and then turned back and instructed Hua Jiao, "You pick up more firewood, burn this kang dry, and remember to bring in those pine mushrooms you dried when you leave, it will rain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

Will it rain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

Pepper looked at the clear sky.

Pei Chunshan was obviously not in the mood to visit this cave, as soon as he heard Pei Ze say that there was rain, he urged Pei Ze to leave for the yamen as soon as possible, and he also trotted down the Tiger Roaring Gang.

After the father and son left, Sichuan pepper went to pick up a lot of dry firewood, carried back to the cave and began to burn the fire and bake the kang, she was raised in the grandmother's house in the countryside when she was a child, and knew that the kang had to be dried slowly so that there would be no cracks, after the kang dried, a straw mat was spread on it, and it was indeed a good small warehouse of medicinal materials.

In fact, the vegetation on this side of Tiger Roaring Hill is quite rich.

In addition, there were no outsiders coming before, and it was a very primitive mountain forest state.

It's just strange to her, it's obviously a temperate monsoon climate, but she found several sugar trees in the valley, the sugar trees are tropical plants, and there will be a lot of nectar in them after flowering, maybe because the weather is still cold now, the sugar trees have just emerged leaves, and they have not bloomed.

If the flowers bloom, she can collect honey and boil it into sugar cubes.

You can also save money on sugar.

As for the rumored ghost fire, although she hadn't seen it yet, she felt that it should be some kind of leaf containing fluorescent agent or animal feces, so she shouldn't be afraid.

In order to burn the kang, the peppercorns did not go home for dinner at noon.

Of course, no one came looking for her.

She didn't let herself go hungry, so she went to the stream to catch a few crabs, and dug up a few yam roots on the hillside, thinking that there was still some clay by the stream, she couldn't help but dig some back, pinched a small jar and two small tea bowls, and threw them into the fire to burn slowly, fortunately this time the fire was very successful, and there was no crack at all.

Eating fragrant roasted crabs and yams, and drinking boiled mountain spring water.

Huajiao was very satisfied, and he didn't want to go back to Pei's house.

But thinking that even this Tiger Roaring Gang belonged to Pei Ze, she felt that she had a long way to go, and only by slowly saving money could she completely leave the Pei family.

After boiling the kang dry, thinking of Pei Ze's instructions, she carried a bamboo basket on her back to collect the pine mushrooms that were drying on the big stones.

These pine mushrooms were found under the pine trees by the stream a few days ago, and she deliberately went to water a little, and they grew like crazy overnight, she picked a lot of them and put them on the stones to dry, and yesterday she took some home to make soup, and it tasted very good.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, and it's finally all dried.

If you get caught in the rain, you'll have lost all your efforts.

She has to sell these pine mushrooms for money.

Last time, the smiling tiger said that he wanted the mountain goods of Wutong Mountain.

When it was almost dark, the peppercorns slowly returned home.

As soon as I entered the alley, I saw Pei Ying hurriedly walking out of the house, and when I saw her, my face sank: "There is someone in your house, my mother is asking me to look for you, what do you say you have been doing in the mountains for so long?" Are you lazy in the mountains again? ”

Pepper ignored her.

He went to the house, washed his hands at the well, and went back to his house to change his clothes.

Pei Ying was so angry that she stood at the gate and shouted: "Mother, Huajiao is back, she doesn't care about me." ”

Mrs. Chen was sitting on the kang and greeting Mrs. Yuan, Pei Chunhua, and Wang: "...... Sichuan pepper has not been wronged in your family, we are relieved. ”

There was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting beside her, the little girl was tall, fair-skinned, and very attractive.

There were two paper packets on the windowsill, and oil stains were oozing out.

Pei Chunhua obviously had no intention of talking to Mrs. Chen, and looked out of the window vigorously.

Her son is still in the yamen, who has the heart to chat with the people of the Hua family.

Old Lady Yuan smiled reluctantly, and she didn't squeak.

The Hua family is so poor that they can't even open the pot.

I'm embarrassed to come to the door.

Otherwise, if they had brought snacks to see her, she would have kicked people out a long time ago.

"She is our daughter-in-law, of course we feel sorry for her." The Wang family didn't dislike Mrs. Chen, and said kindly, "When the second child of my family becomes a parent, I will let the third child of my family have a round house with peppercorns, and when the time comes, we will invite you to come to the house for dinner." ”

In her eyes, the third child can come back safely.

It's the credit of Sichuan pepper.

Hua Jiao went back to the house to change his clothes and walked in quietly.

Wang hurriedly beckoned to the pepper: "Pepper, who are you coming?" ”

Sichuan pepper is confused.

I don't know.

"Ah Jiao, don't you know me? I'm your milk! Mrs. Chen wiped her eyes with her sleeve and stretched out her hand to her, "Come here, let the milk see, the milk hasn't seen you for five years." As he spoke, he pointed to the little girl next to him: "This is your uncle's sister's flower, you played together when you were a child." ”

I haven't been in contact for five years, why did I suddenly come here today...... Hua Jiao didn't have a good impression of these two people at all, and asked directly, "Do you have anything to do?" ”
