For Li Hongmei, who has traveled from modern times, she does not think that a family without a man cannot survive.

In modern times, so many women have the responsibility of providing for their families and taking care of children, and she is now in charge of an injured patient, why not. yes, I really don't think it's a big deal.

With her calm performance, the Zhao family was much more relieved. This night, everyone was safe. It wasn't until the middle of the night that Zhao Dashan groaned and said he wanted to drink water.

Feeding him some water in a daze, and pouring a bowl of gruel that had let Er Ya'er boil there earlier, Zhao Dashan fell asleep again.

At dawn the next day, Li Hongmei got up from the bed.

Now if you want to survive, you have to support yourself, so you can't sleep or something.

After getting up, I went to see Zhao Dashan.

"It's not wonderful, I have a fever now. The most taboo thing for injured patients is high fever, and it seems that he has to take medicine to reduce fever. ”

As a top priority, antipyretics must be grasped.

Frowning, Li Hongmei got up to find Erya'er.

"Grab the medicine...... But the family has no money...... What can I do? The second girl was anxious when she heard it.

Well, I spent all the money last time, so it's a big problem now. There is such a patient in the house! It's no wonder that modern people like to save a little money there. In order to prevent accidents, in the future, you have to save a little money in your hands, or you don't encounter emergencies, which is really unrealistic.

Li Hongmei's entanglement.

"Erya, listen to me, this fever must go down, otherwise the mountain will not survive. That, can you borrow money? ”

The second girl hung her head gloomily, "I can't borrow it, unless I ...... I'm looking for the man who took us to the market that day, and for the sake of my eldest brother, I'll go to him. ”

Thinking of that man's lively appearance, Li Hongmei was willing to go to his own strong girl to find him. If you look for him, needless to say, this marriage will be completed.

"Don't, don't go, let's find a way. If you really can't do it, you can only use my local method. Erya'er, you tell your mother that you must wipe Dashan's body with cold water today. Also, Can you find pears? ”

This is the time of year when the pears are produced, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find them.

"Well, it seems." Er Ya'er tilted her head and thought about it, even if she didn't have it at home, she would let Xiao San'er go to someone else's house to exchange some pears for food, which should be okay.

"You listen to me now, and in a while you let our mother wipe the forehead of Dashan, as well as the armpits and limbs to reduce the fever. It's better to find some more wine to wipe his limbs, forehead. When he was sober, he was fed pears stewed with rock sugar. Thanks to the rock candy we bought this time, it just came in handy. ”

Li Hongmei stroked her forehead, took two steps, and thought of some home remedies, "Also, you can find some radishes, break them, and feed them to Dashan with its juice, which is also a good thing to reduce fever and inflammation." Okay, that's all for now, I'll go up the mountain in a while and find a way to make money. It's not a law for us to all revolve around the mountains, so we can only act separately, understand? ”

The second girl hesitated for a moment, then looked up again and nodded affirmatively, "Sister-in-law, I understand." ”

After instructing everything, Li Hongmei went up the mountain with a knife and a basket on her back.

She hadn't looked at that mountainous area in detail yesterday, and she had to find some way to make a fortune today. Otherwise, this family is really finished.

After the second girl told Mother Zhao what Li Hongmei said, both mother and daughter sighed. "Do what she tells you to do, I'...... I believe she really wants to stay. ”

In fact, both of them were a little worried in their hearts, afraid that Li Hongmei would not come back as soon as they went, but as Zhao's mother said, now that things are like this, is it useful to worry? If you want to run, you're worried that she'll have to run too.

"Sister-in-law, are you going up the mountain alone, why don't you wait for me to find the pears and wine, let's go up the mountain together?" Before leaving, the second girl begged pitifully.

"Don't mind, we have a lot of things going on at home. From today onwards, everything will be done separately. Okay, my sister-in-law knows it's safe, and I'll be back in a while. ”

patted Xiao Nizi's face, Li Hongmei walked up the mountain very manly.

This time she went up the mountain alone, and she didn't dare to go too deep.

Just try your luck out there and see if you can pick up some spills or something.

Let's talk about it, there are a lot of wild grasses and wild trees all over the mountains, but you have to find some things to make a fortune from them, and it is difficult.

After climbing two mountains, I still only dug up some wild orchids, as well as herbs and the like.

"Stand up above and see if there's anything down there, well, really...... How can you be so poor? ”

Li Hongmei shook her head, these ancient days, it's really not easy to mix.

Who said that the crossing girl has a golden finger everywhere, such as her, now she is poor, white and three have no food, and she is poor.

Stand on the top of the mountain, wipe your sweat, and look at the scenery in the distance. The ancient sky was indeed clean and bright. However, no matter how good the scenery is, it can't be eaten as a meal.

After pouring some bamboo tube water, Li Hongmei prepared to go down the mountain.

"Hey, what's this?"

At the top of the hill, some low trees caught her eye. These are actually tea trees. At this time, there are a lot of small fruits under the tea tree. This kind of fruit, if it can, can actually be squeezed for tea oil.

"This, this is really a good thing, but why hasn't it been developed? Squeezing the oil juice, this method is not useful now. ”

I filtered several versions of the method of extracting fruit oil in my brain, but in the end, I found that without tools, I just thought about it. What's more, the current conditions do not allow her to learn how to extract oil.

"This method can be kept and used later. In the future, I have to write it down, this piece has wild tea leaves. ”

This time, the tea fruit that was accidentally discovered made Li Hongmei pay attention. Perhaps, there are also some wild fruits, which can actually be squeezed for oil and the like.

Earlier, when I went to the market, I also learned about the problems of people's livelihood. I found that a lot of oil here is mostly pork fat. As for the oil on the side, it is almost the tung oil that is lit. That kind of oil Li Hongmei also knows that it is a kind of existence that is very easy to burn even if it is a kernel after the skin is rotten.

In this countryside, one of the ways for many mountain children to earn pocket money is to sell the fruit of Tongzi to the oil mill for money.

That kind of paulownia tree, many people planted it, just to exchange it for two dollars. As for the paulownia trees in the wild, almost every tree has been trampled flat by the blades of grass. It can be seen that for the sake of pocket money, many people also fight for it.

Tong Ziguo also thought about it. This ancient person, once he knew that something was good to make money, he was also desperate. ”

Sighing, Li Hongmei went down the mountain in disappointment. It may be that the spirit is not as good as when he came, because when he was going downhill, he accidentally fell.

"Ah......h

I rolled to the foot of the hill until, I smashed into a pile of grass, but fortunately, although I fell, the grass was thick when I fell down the hillside, and I didn't hurt it. It's just that there are a lot of small cuts on his face and hands.

She wanted to cry without tears and pulled a clump of grass to crawl up, and the hard object in her hand made her look at it more.

This look, "Ah, this is? This is actually a wild pepper, that is, the kind of wild pepper I have in modern times, this, this, this can be made into chili sauce, and it can also be made into pickled pepper phoenix feet. No, the phoenix claws here are not easy to buy, and the people who kill the chickens are not sold separately. That's just chili sauce. The people in this place are cold and humid, and if you eat such a chili sauce, you will definitely be able to open up the market. Haha, that's it, whether you can make a fortune during this time, but it's all counting on this play. ”

The wild peppers on the hillside in front of me are all treasures.

Thinking that if these are made into chili sauce, it will be all money, and under such motivation, Li Hongmei has energy all over her body.

Happily picking a basket of chili peppers and humming a little tune, Li Hongmei ended this trip to the mountain.

Looking at the sky, hugging her hungry stomach, Li Hongmei missed the food made by Xiao Erya with great nostalgia. Even if you give her a cow at this time, you can eat it.

I don't know if it's because of luck, but when I returned, I accidentally found a bunch of wild mushrooms. This slightly smaller mountain bait mushroom, although the number of flowers is small, is also delicious. This kind of thing is much better than eating wild vegetables.

"Haha, I picked it, let Xiao Er make soup at night, this is a delicious dish."

Like a big baby, Li Hongmei happily picked wild mushrooms.

Because when you return, you don't take the same path, but walk along the foot of the mountain to the village, and with this route, there will still be some unexpected discoveries. This is also the best route designed by Li Hongmei for herself when she entered the mountain in the morning.

"There are also wild bamboos, these, in fact, are treasures, if you can weave, this bamboo can be exchanged for money. It's just that Zhao Dashan's appearance is estimated to be unable to weave. As for these bamboo shoots, they can be soaked into kimchi, or they can be boiled in salted water and soaked in jars, and when there are no such bamboo shoots, they are sold as out-of-season vegetables. Alas, these are just ideas, why don't you have a project that can collect funds quickly? ”

Sigh, sigh, sigh.

A basket of chili peppers is dozens of catties, and if it is usual, this weight is really not difficult. However, for Li Hongmei, who is so hungry, this weight is really enough.

Especially when she is not used to climbing the hillside, it is even more sad at this time. On her head, the sun is so poisonous that she can't do it, and Li Hongmei misses the little second girl very much.

In this trance, "sister-in-law, sister-in-law......"

looked up and saw the little second girl running towards her in the distance, Li Hongmei was so excited.

"Erya, hurry up, sister-in-law, I'm so hungry."

The second girl looked at her with slightly damp eyes, revealing a big smile, "Sister-in-law, it's good to see you." She really thought that her sister-in-law didn't come back after lunch because she was missing and never came back. But now it seems that everything is just her random speculation.

"Hehe, Erya, I didn't expect that in this little half a day's effort, you thought that I was so powerful. It seems that my sister-in-law's charm is really endless. Hurry up, give me something to eat. ”

"Well, I've got it for you." Erya hurriedly stuffed the food into her hand.

Li Hongmei took the fried hard cake, and at this moment, even if it was a hard cake, she felt that it was extremely delicious.

After the sister-in-law finished eating, when they went on the road again, they walked along the river below the mountain.

"My brother only has a low-grade fever now, it's not that scary, and my mother said that as long as these two people don't have a high fever anymore, people should be fine when they wake up. It's just that medicine should still be caught......"

When it comes to this, Erya'er's big eyes are full of anxiety. If the eldest brother's leg is not taken with medicine, I am afraid that it will be 100% disabled.

"It'll pass, Erniu, can you drink the water in this river?"

The nibbling cake was too dry, and the water she brought was drunk, and Li Hongmei just wanted to drink water at this time.

"It's okay, but you have to drink it in a place where there is clear spring water, or the place next to it is ruined and unhygienic to drink."

Er Ya responded and took Li Hongmei to the place where the river was flooded. That water is really sweet. Drinking water and looking at the fish swimming leisurely not far away, Li Hongmei sighed, "You say, if we catch more fish in this river, won't we have money?" ”

"Poof, sister-in-law, that's such a good thing, the fish in this river, there are little babies who come to catch them every day, alas, there are not many big ones at all. There are a lot of frog cloths and screws on the side, but unfortunately, this can't be exchanged for money! ”

The second girl also sighed, when the family was short of money, she couldn't take out a little money. She was worried and wanted to find the man who was staring at her, perhaps, in exchange for her future for the happiness and well-being of her eldest brother...... It's also good......

"Erya, you, what did you just say?" Li Hongmei, who has been struggling to find a way to make a fortune, heard Erya's words, but her eyes lit up, and she grabbed her excitedly and chased after her.
