Chapter 4: Duck Plantar Grass and Light Bamboo Leaves
Dayflower?
There are so many duck planters!
Lin Huan'er really feels like she's going to get rich!
She has studied Chinese medicine with her master for a long time, and the alias of duck plantar grass is also called butterfly grass, and after drying, it is a Chinese medicine light bamboo leaf.
Light bamboo leaves have the effect of eliminating sores and ulcers, removing heart fire, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of trauma, because it only likes a moist environment, it is extremely precious in the last days.
Running to the field, she crouched down and began to pull duck plantar grass. After pulling out a large handful, she threw it into the space, and then pulled out another handful, and within ten minutes, only a few seedlings were left in the wild duck plantar grass that Lin Huan'er deliberately left.
Zeng cooked at home, and was just about to go out to call Lin Huan'er, when he saw a large pile of weeds with legs rushing towards him.
"Huan'er?" Zeng was stunned.
"Hey!" Lin Huan'er pushed the duck plantar grass to the sides, revealing the little head that was blocked behind. Her small nose sniffed and sighed, "It smells so good!" The rice cooked over a wood fire is so fragrant! ”
Zeng wondered, "Isn't all rice cooked over a firewood fire?" What are you doing digging up so many weeds and coming back? ”
Lin Huan'er carefully placed the duck plantar grass on the big stone at the door of the hut and spread it out little by little, "Grandma, this is not a weed, it can be used as medicine when dried." I...... I've heard some people pay attention to it. She almost said her master, Lin Huan'er's heart was pounding, and she was afraid that Zeng would think that she was talking wrong.
Zeng didn't think that Lin Huan'er would lie to her, but only slandered in his heart, who is talking so irresponsible, isn't this butterfly grass all over the mountains? The man wanted to know that it could be sold for money, so why didn't he dig it himself?
Before she could continue, Lin Huan'er said again, "It's precious, when Huan'er dries it, Grandma will sell it to the pharmacy, and our family will have money." ”
Zeng looked at Lin Huan'er's serious appearance, and swallowed back the words of denial somehow, "Okay, when the money is sold, I will buy candy for Huan'er to eat." ”
Anyway, in a few days, she really has to go to the market, sell some vegetables growing in the field, and add some daily necessities, and then take out a small amount of money to buy a piece of candy for Lin Huan'er, and she will coax her granddaughter.
While it was time to dry the stall, Lin Huan'er took out the duck plantar grass in the space, and after the stall was finished, she went back to the house to eat.
The brown rice porridge was a little thin, and she drank a bowl in three or five sips, and handed the stoneware bowl to Zeng, "Grandma." ”
Zeng was stunned for a moment.
Her granddaughter is very well-behaved, she has a bowl of porridge for every meal, and after drinking this bowl, she says that she is not hungry and never asks for more. What's going on today? She looked at her granddaughter's excited eyes and expectant little face, and suddenly felt sour.
It must have been living in someone else's house before, under the fence, and the child didn't dare to eat or ask for it, for fear that her aunt would scold her.
Now that she has moved out, her granddaughter must be fed.
She poured her bowl of porridge into Lin Huan'er's bowl, "Huan'er eat more and grow taller." ”
Lin Huan'er blinked. She can't communicate with people, and she's not stupid. Is the food brought by the Zeng family not enough? She regretted it a little, when she first walked through, she looked at the scenery of these people, and felt that there were so many people in ancient times, why were the trees so green, and she completely forgot to help the Zeng family protect their interests.
Soon, Tsang's approach confirmed her suspicions. After pouring the porridge to Lin Huan'er, she turned around and washed the bottom of the pot, stood by the stove and scooped up the water from the pot, then walked to the yard and put the pottery bowl in the wooden basin. "Huan'er will wash the dishes later, and I'll go get some water for tomorrow morning."
"Whoa." Lin Huan'er replied and sighed.
She drank all the porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl and went to the corner where Zeng's food was placed. Sure enough, there was only a bag of brown rice and a small bag of rice for grain seeds. She is also a cook, and she can estimate the weight of this bag of brown rice at a glance, about more than 20 catties, even if they drink two meals a day according to their grandparents, they can only last a little more than a month.
She has 200 catties of white rice in her space, but how can she take it out?
She will not be reluctant to give the white rice to grandma to eat, but she is really worried about how to explain it to grandma.
The only thing Lin Huan'er can do is to eat a little more rice in the space and try to save all the rice at home for Zeng's family.
In this way, I spent three days in an ordinary way, and it was the day of the market in the town.
Zeng's picked fresh chrysanthemum early in the morning, plucked some shallots, cleaned the amaranth picked by Lin Huan'er, and put them in the basket to be sold. ”
Zeng nodded, even if she wanted to refuse, thinking that her granddaughter couldn't sleep well in the past two days, she was afraid that the rain would wet her medicine, and she would have to get up in the middle of the night to read it several times, and if she refused, she couldn't say anything, so go and try her luck.
She told Lin Huan'er uneasily, "Grandma is not at home, don't run around, if there is anything, you can go to your grandfather Li." ”
Lin Huan'er nodded in response, but as soon as Zeng left, she locked the door and ran to the back mountain.
Yesterday, she went to the back mountain to inspect again, and found a lot of duck plant, and also found some other Chinese medicine. She wants to get them all into the space as soon as possible before the other villagers don't know about the duck plant.
She already has the skills to work, and this body is also used to doing farm work on weekdays, and after squatting on the ground for only one morning, she collected all the duck plantar grass on this hill.
Lin Huan'er stayed on the mountain until after noon, estimating that the Zeng family was about to come back, and then went home to prepare to cook for the Zeng family.
As soon as she walked to her hut, a sense of vigilance suddenly rose in her heart.
This thatched hut was built directly on the edge of the dry field, and there was no yard, let alone a courtyard gate, only a broken wooden door in the main house. Lin Huan'er clearly remembered that before going out, she locked the door of the thatched hut, but at this moment, the lock was picked open and thrown aside, and the door of the thatched hut was half-hidden.
The house was too dark to see clearly, Lin Huan'er took out a boning knife from the space and approached the thatched hut carefully, the closer she got, the closer she seemed to hear, the sound of people walking and breathing in the thatched hut. It seems that someone is coming outside, and the movement in the house suddenly becomes smaller, and someone is hiding at the door.
Lin Huan'er held her breath, and after listening carefully for a while, she slammed open the door and rushed into the door, holding the tip of the knife upward, aiming at the position of the other party's waist and kidneys.
The sunlight poured into the house with Lin Huan'er's action of opening the door, and the light shone on the face of the person behind the door, making him squint his eyes involuntarily, and also allowing Lin Huan'er to finally see the appearance of the person inside the door.
"Uncle?" Lin Huan'er shouted.
The person hiding in the darkness, with a hint of horror on his face, was the same person who wanted to sell her that day.
But just separated, what is he doing here?
Not good! Lin Huan'er suddenly remembered something and turned around suddenly, but it was too late, and a pair of hands stretched out from behind her back and lifted her up.
said that it was too late, and the uncle swooped up and snatched the sharp knife in Lin Huan'er's hand.
