Chapter 3: Collecting Herbs
Ever since Zhao Rujing's soul was attached to Chun Tao, she had been thinking about how to get out of that troublesome home. However, Chun Tao knew that it was impossible for her to live alone in ancient times without money. Chun Tao told March and Lamei about her idea of making money, and when March heard it, she gave Chun Tao an idea and asked her to pick medicine.
March and March Dad often went to the mountains to hunt, and gradually learned a lot of herbs, and occasionally picked some more precious medicinal materials to Yuyang County to sell, but the more ordinary ones were not picked. Spring peaches are collected from the herbs that are relatively common but needed in the pharmacy.
Chun Tao put the collected medicinal materials in March's house to dry, and then sold them to the pharmacy in the county seat after drying, and insisted on giving March two profits, for which she endured March's long-term chatter.
"Chun Tao, be careful by yourself! I'm going this way, don't go too far, don't go to a place with a lot of trees, and call me out if there's anything. You can't go far! You know? March Tsai carefully explained the things that Chun Tao paid attention to, and kept emphasizing that Chun Tao should not go far.
"I know, don't worry." In the previous month, Chun Tao followed March to pick herbs in the mountains, learning which herbs, which were wild vegetables, and which were poisonous.
In fact, there are not many people who will meet in March, and they know a few herbs, and Chun Tao has already learned it, but March is not worried that Chun Tao walks alone in the mountains, so it has always been two people who act together. Today, it was still at Chuntao's repeated insistence that March was willing to part with her.
After Chun Tao finished speaking, she turned around and left, carrying her back basket and lowering her head to carefully search for herbs, and slowly left March's sight.
"It should be alright, right?" March looked at Chun Tao's thin back and was a little uneasy, "Hey! I'm not her mother, I can still follow her to death! After speaking, he looked at Chun Tao's smaller and smaller back, and then slowly left in the opposite direction. See if you can hit some small animals and make up for the spring peaches.
Due to the rain a few days ago, a lot of mushrooms have grown, and Chun Tao picked some edible mushrooms and threw them into the back basket for March to take home. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, because Zhaojia Village is surrounded by mountains, there are still many people who eat mushrooms.
Chun Tao has been in ancient times for four months, and learned from March's mouth that the country he is in is called Nanping, but he is not sure if it is the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but Chun Tao feels that it is not, and the wars between the countries during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period are continuous, and the people are not happy.
However, the life of the villagers of Zhaojia Village is not very difficult, and Yuyang County is also thriving, and it does not look like it has been war-torn. remembered that when Chun Tao asked about March and Lamei, the two looked at her like fools, and Chun Tao felt depressed.
No way, who let her only have a part of the memory of the original owner!
"It's beautiful!" Chun Tao looked for herbs, picked mushrooms, and unknowingly went into the depths of the woods.
Dense trees, blocking the sky, prevent the sun from invading. The sparse sunlight, like the mist of yarn, is in it, and it seems that you are in a fairyland. Chun Tao was conquered by the charm of nature, and her emotions had not been released for a long time, with an obvious smile on her face and her empty eyes brightened.
Chun Tao slowly stretched out his right hand and slowly retracted it in mid-air, as if he had grasped something, seemed to feel something, and seemed to be afraid of disturbing something.
"That's? Tremella? "Suddenly, Chun Tao saw some white substance attached to a tree, and when she got closer, she found that the white substance was actually white fungus. That's a good thing. It's a pity that I won't plant. Otherwise, you will get rich. Chun Tao looked at a small piece of white fungus in front of her, as if she saw the silver of the white flower fly away.
"Let's keep it for yourself!" Chun Tao carefully plucked the white fungus and put it in the back basket, fearing that it would be dangerous to go deeper, so she made a mark while remembering the way she came, leaving the charming and dangerous woods.
"Chun Tao, Chun Tao, where are you? Spring peach! "When Chun Tao was about to walk out of the woods, she heard March's anxious voice.
"I'm here." Chun Tao hurriedly picked up her pace and walked towards March.
"Didn't I tell you not to go far, not to go to a place with a lot of trees? I'll meet that big worm later, wolf, what if you are taken away without me? Are you stupid? I don't understand the words. As soon as March saw Chun Tao's figure, he yelled at her.
"Are you alright?" With a hard mouth and a soft heart, he pulled Chun Tao and looked at it.
"It's okay, I accidentally walked away." Chun Tao knew that March cared about her, and she didn't care about her scolding herself for being stupid, let alone her lying to herself by deceiving children. There is no such thing as a wolf on this hill.
"I found something good." Chun Tao showed the white fungus in the back basket to March.
"Is this some valuable herb? Why haven't I seen it before? March turned her head to look at the white flower, a little curious.
"Have you never seen one?" If no one has found out yet, then this place I am in should be near Sichuan! I remember seeing that the white fungus was first found somewhere in Sichuan, could it be that this is the western region? But if this is an empty dynasty, it is not necessarily.
"I haven't seen it, Chun Tao, what's wrong with you? Dumbfounded. March turned her head and looked at it for a long time, not knowing what the white flowers in front of her were, but she found that her good sister was in a daze again.
"No, it's not a medicinal herb, and it shouldn't be very valuable, it's..."
As soon as March heard that it was not very valuable, he was no longer curious, and pointed to the dead chicken under the tree next to him and said to Chun Tao: "I just caught a pheasant, and I will eat it at noon today*!" Make it up to you. ”
"Hmm!" March didn't want to listen, and Chun Tao didn't want to talk much, so she followed March to the big tree and waited to eat chicken.
"Let me tell you, my grandfather's grandfather taught my grandfather's father, and my grandfather's father taught my grandfather..."
Chun Tao's summary is: the March family has been hunters for generations, and the practice of roasting chicken has been passed down from generation to generation.
"So you're blessed to be able to eat the chicken I made today." March turned his head and looked at Chun Tao, and the information revealed in his eyes was Chun Tao, you have made a lot of money today.
"It's a blessing."
"What?" Chun Tao muttered in March, and I didn't hear it clearly.
"Nope." Chun Tao didn't want to discuss this kind of problem with March, so she shook her head, because she knew that March would definitely say, "You must be stupid and remember." ’
"Am I hallucinating?" March blinked and frowned as she tried to remember.
"Are the chickens alright?" March, this person is a bit of a bull, and if you don't understand, you must break the casserole and ask to the end, Chun Tao is afraid that she has been thinking about this, and she really feels that she will be miserable if she hallucinates, so she opened her mouth to divert March's attention.
"Not so fast, wait." March added some firewood and started talking again.
In the nagging of March, the chicken is finally cooked. "Alright, give it." March tore off the chicken leg and handed it to Chun Momo.
"It's delicious." The roast chicken in March is indeed very good, not greasy, and not firewood. There is also a fruity fragrance and... Spring Peach can't tell what the other taste is. "The leaves are also seasoned?" Chun Tao swallowed the chicken and looked at the leaves that March pulled out of the chicken's belly.
"I don't know, it's just delicious." March wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and she was still chewing chicken in her mouth, and the girl's cheeks were round and bulging, and she looked innocent.
"That's good." Chun Tao smiled, dropped the chicken bone in his hand, and looked at the ground faintly.
"What's so good?" March handed another chicken leg to Chun Tao, and Chun Tao took it.
"You're so nice." It's nice to have my parents here, the family is in harmony, and I'm so cheerful.
"Of course, I'll be the best for you in March." March saw Chun Tao take the chicken leg, turned around and nibbled on the chicken rack, and suddenly turned his head suddenly, "And Lamei, it's good for you." ”
"Hmm!" The friendship that Chun Tao didn't feel in modern times was felt in ancient times, although it didn't belong to her originally. But now Chun Tao is her, she is Chun Tao.
After eating the roast chicken, the two of them rested on the big tree for a while. Then March took Chun Tao to the edge of the dangerous cliff, and after finding no valuable medicinal herbs, the two went down the mountain.
Back at March's house, Chun Tao washed the medicinal herbs picked today and put them under the greenhouse of March's house to let them dry in the shade. Then put the white fungus aside alone, ate the tortillas given to her in March, and then went home slowly.
