Chapter 11: The Good Intentions of the Poplar Sapling

Taking advantage of Jiang Lanqing's hot porridge, the poplar sapling teased Jiang Jingxuan, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Lanqing, who was adding firewood to the stove, and said as if unintentionally: "I heard that the price of pine nuts is okay this year, and the hazelnut mushroom seems to be out." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lanqing's eyes lit up, what she lacked most now was money, Yang Shumiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and then said: "Ming'er I want to go to the mountains, no one will accompany me, do you want a piece?" ”

Jiang Lanqing had no reason not to go, and nodded busily.

Yang Shumiao didn't really want to eat porridge when she stayed, she wanted to help Jiang Lanqing, and after a casual bite, she made an excuse to go back.

After Jiang Lanqing finished eating, he took Jing Shuo and her as a companion to collect firewood in the forest, picked some wild vegetables, and a lot of wild onions.

When she got home, she removed the quilt cover and washed all the dirty clothes together, and she picked one of the waters, so she picked one and used one pick, back and forth, several times, and the farts did not stick to the bench at noon.

I was as busy as a spinning top, and I didn't make lunch.

When she picked the last handful of water, she harvested a black snake with the thickness of an adult's wrist.

In the previous life, when my father and mother remarried, and the priest did not support their brother and sister, the family had no financial resources except for a few acres of thin fields, and my brother often went up to the mountains to catch snakes to sell.

Over time, she learned the techniques and skills of catching snakes with her brother, and catching snakes was easy for her.

Carrying the water, it was difficult to catch the one alive, and Jiang Lanqing directly killed it and took it back.

When she got home, her son was playing with the kernel at the door, and she was afraid that her son would be afraid, so she hurriedly hid the snake behind her, although the snake was dead.

Seeing his mother come back, Jiang Jingxuan put the kernel in his pocket and ran to his mother, wanting to ask him if his mother was tired and wanted to rest and rest, but his mouth seemed to be sticky, and finally he could only hold back the words.

Jiang Lanqing carried the water into the low shed, not noticing his son's appearance.

Putting down the bucket and putting the snake into the broken back basket, Jiang Lanqing saw Jing Shuo standing behind him, this kid, when did he stand here, did he see the snake, was he scared?

Then he asked tentatively, "Do you see the contents of the back basket?" ”

Jiang Jingxuan nodded: "I'm not afraid." ”

He was really not afraid, and he had encountered snakes several times on the road from his home to the village.

Even the holes in the roof of their houses, sometimes snakes came out, and he never told his mother.

Jiang Lanqing was distressed by his son's sensibility, he was not yet four years old, and he was so strong and sensible.

The children of poor families are in charge of the house early!

Squatted down and hugged his son: "Mother will give you stewed snake meat to eat, okay?" ”

I don't know if the snakes in this place can be sold for money, and if they can be sold for money, then they will go up the mountain and catch some snakes to sell.

But today, this can only be used to fill the temple of their mother and son's five organs.

Jing Shuo nodded vigorously, although he didn't speak, he saw the light in his eyes.

Since his son was not afraid of snakes, Jiang Lanqing had no need to avoid them, so he found a dried palm leaf and twisted it into a rope to hang the snake on a bamboo stake under the low shed.

Start the cleaning work, peeling, disemboweling, handling the internal organs, all in one go.

As soon as the snake gallbladder is peeled out, let Jiang Jingxuan swallow it raw, eating snake gall has the effects of dispelling wind, dehumidifying, cooling and brightening eyes, detoxification and prickly heat.

Snake skin is also useful, is Jiang Lan Qing on the rope, snake skin Chinese medicine is also known as snake molt, with the effect of dispelling wind and calming shock, detoxification and itching, and relieving eyes.

Jiang Lanqing's traditional Chinese medicine, in her eyes, these are all medicines, and similarly, for her now, they are all money.
