After Cai Zijun finished washing, she tied three yellow hairs into a high ponytail behind her head and came out of the room, and the breakfast that Hu Shi had prepared for her in the kitchen had been prepared, a steamed sweet potato, a white flour steamed bun, and a big bowl of chicken soup with chicken.

There wasn't much flour left, and Li said that he would keep it for Cai Zijun to eat slowly, so the usual two white-flour steamed buns became one, and one was replaced with sweet potatoes, as for the chicken soup, it should have been eaten last night, but Tian put it in the cabinet after plucking the chicken feathers, and when Li found out, the rice was cooked and it was time for dinner, and it was too late to eat it at night.

Tian, who was unwilling, made an excuse, saying that she was too busy to forget.

After Li Shi stared at her fiercely, he didn't say anything, he started himself, chopped the chicken into pieces, put it in a jar to simmer the soup, put out the fire before going to bed at night, and it could be eaten when it was heated in the morning.

Cai Zijun finished breakfast, carried the bamboo basket on his back and went out of the door, before leaving, Li told him to pay attention to safety when going up the mountain, and asked if Cai Qigui wanted to go with him, Cai Zijun waved his hand, saying no.

When Cai Zijun arrived at Cai Langzhong's house, Cai Langzhong had just gotten up, and was brushing his teeth with willow branches, seeing Cai Zijun so early, he couldn't help but wonder for a while, it was rumored in the village that Cai Hua'er was lazy and delicious, and slept until three poles a day, but now it seems to him that the real rumors are not credible.

Cai Zijun was not in a hurry, and stood in the courtyard waiting for him.

"Uncle Cai, what do you eat in the morning?" Thinking about it, Cai Zijun asked him with concern.

"Last night's leftovers, I boiled boiling water on the stove, and some pickled dried radish, soaked the leftovers with boiling water, and soaked rice under the pickled radish." Cai Langzhong washed his face, splashed the water, and returned to her.

"I have two sweet potatoes and two egg cakes in my basket, do you want to eat them?"

"No need, it's enough for me to eat soaking rice, that's what your mother prepared for you at noon, right?"

"Yes, if you eat at noon, it doesn't matter, we will catch wild animals on the mountain and roast them at noon, just like filling our stomachs."

Cai Langzhong glanced at Cai Zijun and smiled, this kid, when the wild things on the mountain are picked up by himself, "I can only collect medicine, not hunt." ”

"Uncle Cai won't, I will." Cai Zijun replied seriously.

Cai Langzhong felt that he shouldn't have brushed off her kindness and dampened her enthusiasm, so he nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for you to roast wild things for Uncle Cai to eat." ”

Cai Langzhong didn't eat her cakes and sweet potatoes in the end, so after eating boiling water and soaking rice with pickled radish, he pinched a few rice balls and put them in a small clean wooden box with a lid, ready to be hungry at noon.

Cai Langzhong also carried a large basket, in which a small wooden box containing rice balls, a firewood knife, and a rope were placed...... There are also some anti-poison and anti-detoxification drugs, although there are fewer poisons in winter, but the mountains are not as good as other places, or you have to bring them.

There are not many medicinal herbs growing in the winter, Cai Langzhong wants to take Cai Zijun to get acquainted with the mountains and collect medicines as soon as possible, and after he knows that she has the talent to study medicine, he is anxious to teach her as soon as possible.

The old and young carried bamboo baskets on their backs, and entered the mountains against the rising sun, but there was no work in the fields in winter, and they did not look at a few villagers along the way.

Cai Zijun moved his chubby body all the way, just walked to the foot of the mountain, he was panting like a cow, and there was a light sweat on his back, this body is really bad, fat is fat, not strong at all, looking fat and black, in fact, the physical constitution is not good, and when she comes back from the mountain, she has to get up and run every morning to exercise.

"Flowers, if you're tired, sit down and rest for a while." Cai Lang found that Cai Zijun had begun to struggle, and he regretted a little in his heart, he shouldn't have taken her up the mountain in such a hurry.

"Uncle Cai, it's okay, I can still insist on it." Cai Zijun shook his head, took the firewood knife in the back basket, chopped a wild firewood, cut the leaves, and after sharpening the smoothness, he walked as a crutch.

Cai Langzhong saw that she insisted, so he continued to move forward, but along the way, he carefully told her that she would want to exercise more in the future and lose weight by herself, for fear that Cai Zijun would not be able to accept it, and joked euphemistically, saying that although girls are fat and cute, it is not good to be too fat.

Cai Zijun is not the original owner's mischievous, I don't know whether people's hearts are good or bad, Cai Langzhong said everything she said with a smile, and she didn't pull her face, which made Cai Langzhong's impression of her even better, and felt that it was the right choice to teach her medical skills, how could such a good girl be said to be that kind of image? !

No, when treating people in the future, when he encounters others talking about her and saying bad things about her, he must correct and correct her, obviously he is a good boy who is polite and modest!

An hour later, the two of them arrived at the mountain, and Cai Langzhong told Cai Zijun carefully about the habits and shapes of the herbs they encountered, whether the leaves were used in medicine, or the rhizomes were used in medicine, and where they usually grow...... Wait a minute.

Cai Langzhong said carefully, Cai Zijun also listened carefully, and asked some questions from time to time that she didn't know, but the questions she asked were to the point, which made Cai Langzhong even happier, and being able to ask the key points showed that she really listened carefully and used her brains.

There are not many herbs growing in winter, but the old and young still dig up some herbs picked in autumn and winter, such as asparagus, gastrodia, atractylodes, scutellaria, etc.

The sun rose from the east, slowly crossed overhead, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, of course, Cai Zijun did not hit the wild things as he wished, it was really winter that the wild things hibernated, where would they meet her waiting for her to fight.

Take out the food from the basket, whether it is sweet potatoes or rice balls, they are all frozen and hard, and you have to spoil your teeth when you eat them, let alone swallow them.

"Uncle Cai, make a fire and roast it, otherwise, you won't be able to eat it."

"Okay."

The two of them found a sheltered place, in a small clearing beside a tall rock, right leeward.

Cai Zijun went to pick up pine needles, picked up some dead branches, took them back and piled them in the open space, lit a fire, put rice balls, egg cakes, and sweet potatoes next to the fire and roasted them slowly, by the way, people also roasted the fire, and they had been walking to collect medicine in front, but they didn't feel how cold they were, but now as soon as they stopped, they were blown by the mountain wind, and the thin sweat on their bodies was collected, and their bodies were cold, and they felt cold.

When the food was roasted and the people were warm, the old and young ate the food in front of the fire, poured the water they brought into the bamboo tube and heated it, ate the food, drank the hot water, and in an instant, the stomach was ironed.

"Ah...... The feeling of being full is comfortable! Cai Zijun sighed comfortably and stretched.

Cai Langzhong looked at her frank movements, unpretentious appearance, and smiled, this should be what a teenage girl should look like, not after learning from those young ladies in the city, all of them are upright, and the lively and cute appearance of a girl is gone.

Cai Zijun didn't know that she inadvertently revealed her original nature in the eyes of outsiders, but Uncle Cai's impression of her became better and better, and he liked her more and more from the bottom of his heart.
