Chapter 162: You Don't Cherish Yourself Others won't cherish you for you
When Zhang Mengjie came to the kitchen of another cave, Mingyue Gongzi was cleaning up the herbs he had collected, and Mingyue Gongzi greeted Zhang Mengjie who was walking towards him with a low forehead.
Zhang Mengjie did the same, and then went to find a large porcelain casserole and washed it to prepare stewed snake soup. Seeing a medicine jar next to the porcelain casserole, he thought of the herbs that Mingyue Gongzi was cleaning up and asked, "Mingyue Gongzi, will your medicine be boiled later?"
Mingyue Gongzi sighed, maybe he was not used to getting along with so many women, cleaned up the herbs and went out.
Zhang Mengjie also took out the medicine jar and washed it together.
As soon as Zhang Mengjie washed it, Chen Ergou killed the snake and brought it in. Chen Ergou should often do this kind of thing, because he has almost processed the inside, wash it and cut it and then stew.
With the help of the peasant woman, Zhang Mengjie basically didn't have to do anything.
When Zhang Mengjie was washing the casserole and medicine jar, they consciously took out the soaked dried vegetables and cut them and made a fire.
After a while of burning and there was a carbon fire, Zhang Mengjie asked the peasant woman who was burning the fire to use tongs to pick out the carbon fire and put it on the stove.
When the stove was about to smoke, the smell of snake meat slowly emanated from the casserole. A few children who had been playing nearby gathered around when they smelled the scent.
"Want to eat?" Zhang Mengjie asked them.
The children all nodded.
Zhang Mengjie said: "If you want to eat, go and call your uncle, grandparents come over, and everyone eats together."
The children immediately went to call someone, and as soon as they left, Zhang Mengjie took out a small bag of things from a box. It's the farmers here who bring in unused salt. Chen San was afraid that the children would be naughty and play with it, so he put it away.
Waiting for the casserole to smoke, Zhang Mengjie lifted the lid of the casserole with a rag and put a little salt in it. and so on. Zhang Mengjie took a bowl and took out all the snake meat inside.
As soon as he put down the bowl of snake meat, the children ran in one by one.
"Take the bowl yourself."
When Zhang Mengjie served snake soup to each child, she put a piece of snake meat of about the same size in their bowl.
There are only about 30 people in Wushan Village plus children, and after Zhang Mengjie served it to the children, she also served a bowl to each of the adults who came. The amount for adults is not as much as that for children.
"Madame not only looks like a fairy, but even makes things like fairies." Chen Ergou said while drinking.
"Brother Ergou has seen a fairy or eaten an elixir?" Zhang Mengjie said.
"I haven't seen a fairy, and I don't want to see this fairy so much, because Madame is definitely better looking than a fairy." Chen Ergou said.
"Then when did you eat the elixir? Since you have eaten the elixir, why are you still here? Some villagers joked.
The other villagers laughed.
"In my dream, it's a pity that I woke up before I dreamed of what the elixir was." Chen Ergou didn't mind their ridicule either.
"Then how does the second dog brother know that what I make is the same as the elixir? Besides, the elixir is medicine, is Brother Ergou saying that what I make is as unpalatable as medicine? Zhang Mengjie said.
"There is nothing unpalatable about the things of the immortals, it is not that someone is unwell. After taking any good medicine, it will be cured immediately. Anyway, it's like eating an elixir, right? Chen Ergou said to the others.
"Brother Ergou, didn't you say that what I burned was the same as drinking medicine!" Zhang Mengjie said with a smile.
"I can't speak, and that's not what I said anyway." Chen Ergou saw that the more he said, the more wrong he became, so he didn't say anything.
At this time, Long Tingxiao took Xiao Chengyi and Zhao Ziheng. Season Commander. Xingji Mountain came in. followed by the bright moon child.
Zhang Mengjie gave them the rest of the snake soup to drink.
As soon as the snake soup was served, the water in the pot boiled. Zhang Mengjie put some of the dried vegetables cut by the peasant woman into it, and poured all the snake meat into it.
After Xing Jishan drank the snake soup, he ate the dried vegetable soup, and his heart was indescribably uncomfortable. What kind of person the county lord is, the people of Mincheng know it, although he can't eat fish and meat like the county magistrate. But at least I was still eating rice. He also knew very well that the people of Mincheng basically had nothing to eat, just like the villagers of Wushan Village, if it weren't for Long Tingxiao and them coming here, he was afraid that they would only be able to drink water now.
"Mingyue Gongzi, do you want to fry the medicine now?" Zhang Mengjie saw that there was still a charcoal stove and remembered the herbs of Mingyue Gongzi.
"Fry it! Three bowls of water are fried over low heat to make one bowl. Mingyue Gongzi said.
Zhang Mengjie thought at first that this was the medicine that Mingyue Gongzi was going to use, but now when he said this, it should be a medicine for people, and at present, Zhang Mengjie who wants to drink medicine only knows one person. Could it be that Mingyue Gongzi went to find medicine for her early in the morning?
It turns out that Zhang Mengjie was not wrong. The woman looked at the medicine she was boiling in front of her, a little overwhelmed.
Zhang Mengjie said: "Your body is your own, and you don't cherish others yourself, let alone for you."
Zhang Mengjie's words made the woman think of something, and she took the medicine bowl in Zhang Mengjie's hand, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
"Drink it hot, otherwise it will be more bitter later." Zhang Mengjie said.
When the woman had tears falling into the bowl, she drank the medicine with her own tears.
"If you want your body to get better, drink this medicine until your cough stops. You know your own body, I can help you find medicine, these kinds of medicine are very common here, you can ask other people to help when we are not there, the people here are very simple, as long as you open your mouth they will help you. ”
After speaking, the young man of Mingyue took a basket and left.
Zhang Mengjie didn't expect them to leave here so soon, and some things had to be asked: "If you want your body to get better, you have to let go of the things in your heart, can you tell me that you can let go?"
The woman's lips squirmed, but she did not speak.
"When I first met Xiaobao, I heard Xiaobao say that beautiful women are very vicious, is the matter in your heart related to another woman? I haven't seen Xiaobao's father here, and I haven't heard anyone here mention it. Presumably Xiaobao's father should still be there, and that woman has something to do with Xiaobao's father, right? ”
The woman looked at Zhang Mengjie in surprise, and Zhang Mengjie knew that what she expected was not bad: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, there are some things as long as you can let go." I have other ones to go beforehand. ”
The woman alone in the cave in the kitchen thought for a long time before she stepped out.
Walking in such a hurry, Zhang Mengjie felt that there was a lot of things to do, so she asked Lin Fan to take out the explosives in the oilcloth to see if it was damp or wet.
After Lin Fan went to see it, he was not wet, but he couldn't see or touch it when it was damp.
There are also those firewood that don't work, Zhang Mengjie doesn't know if his own method will work.
Chen San looked at the only dry firewood that was burning and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who had just brought it back and chopped the wet firewood that was spread on the side, and some were reluctant to burn the dry firewood. But thinking of Zhang Mengjie's words and their gifts, I don't know if they still have a chance to use it, if it weren't for their firewood. (To be continued.) )
