266 star anise
The sun shone through the treetops into the woods, and Yao Xiaoqing's stomach growled.
When he arrived at a stream, he put down the bamboo basket, untied the little pheasant, cut off the skin, smeared some spices in the chicken's belly, wrapped the pheasant with dumpling leaves, tied it with vines, and dug up some mud to wrap it.
I dug a soil pit, picked up firewood, lit it, and began to roast chickens.
The fire was blazing, and some wood was added to it, and it burned.
Yao Xiaoqing lay on a big rock, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers wafting from the forest, and listening to the birds singing on the branches.
She felt that this was an unmined sacred place, full of treasures. As long as you want to find it, you can find it in any kind of way.
She was thinking about the patches of yams, taro, kudzu, millet, beans, pumpkins and ...... planted this season, and a few months later, there will be a crop of corn.
When the autumn harvest is harvested, the Yaoshan tribe, except for the few tribes, has no rice and cotton, and is actually richer than the ancient villages in later generations.
Another small goal was achieved, and when the Yaoshan Market opened, he went out to look for rice. I just don't know, are there any crops such as cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes?
If there is, except for no electricity and no internet, life here is much more comfortable than in the afterlife.
When Yao Xiaoqing thought of this, he still felt a little proud and a little worried.
I took a piece of jerky and chewed it slowly, looking at the big tree above my head, and found that the oily green foliage was full of small pink and crimson flowers.
"It's so beautiful, the flowers on one tree have two colors."
Watch, watch her climb up suddenly, and the little yellowish fruit in the middle of the leaves seems to be an octagonal eh!
Yao Xiaoqing was a little excited, took a few steps forward, walked to a small tree, grabbed a branch, picked a fruit and counted eight corners.
Looking at the yellowish fruit in her palm, she laughed, "Anise fruit!" Hahaha! There is nowhere to find iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them! ”
Anise Tree! She looked around, and the forest was so big that it was full of octagonal trees. Although star anise is a spice, it can also have medicinal properties, such as expectorant and antitussive, throat clearing, etc.
It is also an indispensable seasoning for household cooking, which has the effect of reducing the fishy smell of meat, increasing the fragrance and promoting appetite. It is also one of the raw materials for the preparation of five-spice powder and seasoning powder......
Braised pork, barbecue, bean paste, and soy sauce are all used.
Thinking of this, she salivated and picked it excitedly, and even forgot to call the chicken. It wasn't until the basket was full and her stomach growled that she remembered the chicken in the dirt pit.
"Huh! It's good to find out sooner, and the taste will be better. ”
Pulling out the chicken chop from the soil pit and knocking off the mud wrapped on it, a clear fragrance of zongzi leaves, mixed with the rich aroma of chicken, came to my nose, and my saliva almost flowed out.
Squatted beside the stream and washed his hands, opened the dumpling leaves and saw the smooth and shiny flower chicken, tore off a chicken leg and took a bite, the meat was tender in the mouth, and he swirled in his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.
"Not bad! This is the cruelty-free, all-natural taste! ”
Yao Xiaoqing sat on the big rock, leaning against the octagonal tree behind him, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and felt that this day was really a pleasure.
A pheasant was eaten clean by her, and only then did she feel full, and she looked at the chicken bones on the ground with unfinished eyes, drank a few sips of water, rinsed her mouth, and buried the chicken bones in the soil pit.
After resting for a while, I felt a little drowsy, and then I picked up the basket and began to walk back.
On the way back, I found more than a dozen apricot and peach trees. In a weed, a patch of herbs was found, and not far away there was a bush of gardenias, which had already revealed small buds, and they would bloom in a while.
Huoxiang crucian carp and gardenias are her favorites, Yao Xiaoqing put down the back basket and lifted the sapper shovel to dig up.
Huoxiang put it on the back basket, carried the back basket, carried the sapper shovel in one hand, and a dozen and a half gardenias in the other, and hurriedly walked back.
As soon as I walked into the pine forest, I saw a group of men walking in front of me like wild men in the distance. Some carry baskets on their backs, carrying prey on their shoulders, and some carry small trees with soil on their shoulders, who else will there be besides the people of the Yaoshan tribe.
"Father, Mu Feng ......" Yao Xiaoqing shouted loudly.
The person in front stopped, and Mu Ba looked back at her in surprise, "Xiaoqing, why are you here?" ”
The other people also greeted her with a smile, "Xiaoqing, you came out to collect medicine alone!" ”
"Hmmm! The tribe is busy transplanting pumpkins. Yao Xiaoqing walked forward happily, "You have been out for a long time." ”
Muba smiled and nodded, "Hmm! I went around in the mountains and told the tribe I saw about our big set. ”
Yao Hu and Mu Feng, who were walking in front, also turned their heads to look over, Jiang Li turned his head to see Yao Xiaoqing with a smile on his face, and showed a smile of surprise, "Qingwu!" ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "What a coincidence!" ”
Mu Feng pointed to the back, "Father, look, Xiaoqing is there!" ”
Yaohu glared at him in disgust, "I saw it." He strode over.
Yao Xiaoqing stepped forward and looked at Yao Hu with a smile, "Father, you're tired!" ”
Yaohu smiled and shook his head, "Father is not tired, Mu Feng quickly helps the little sister carry the flowers and trees." ”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Li had already reached out and took the gardenia in Yao Xiaoqing's hand, and even took off the pheasant and herb on the back basket.
Mu Feng smiled: "Jiang Li is the same when he holds it. ”
Yaohu patted him gently, "Lazy!" ”
"Hey, hey!" Mu Feng looked at Yao Xiaoqing and smirked, "Xiaoqing, Father is eccentric." ”
Yao Xiaoqing comforted proudly, "Go back and make something to eat for you." ”
"We're going to eat too!" Others protested.
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, I found two spices today, and then I found others, how can I make barbecue powder."
You're just in time to come back, and tomorrow I'll take you to the woods to pick spices. ”
When I heard the barbecue powder, everyone thought of barbecue, and the taste of the barbecue meat sprinkled with barbecue powder is different.
"Good! Tomorrow we're going to pick star anise. ”
Heiba picked up an anise tree, "Qingwu, is it the fruit that has a few horns in your basket?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled: "That's right! It's called star anise. ”
"Okay, if you don't leave, it will be dark." Yaohu interrupted everyone with a smile.
"Let's go, go back and talk slowly." Everyone talked and laughed and walked back.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they could see Jiang Li's yard when they looked up.
Heiba looked back at Jiang Li with a smile, "Chief, let's come over tomorrow to see, is anyone secretly living in?" ”
Da Liang smiled and said, "I only came here to see it before I came here, and no one has ever been in." ”
Ah Tan said to Jiang Li: "Chief, it's time for us to move back!" He felt that if they lived, they would also become members of the Yaoshan tribe.
