Chapter 2 Hunting in the mountains and digging up a century-old ginseng
But how can you do it without going out? Don't want to find a way to make money, and you can't starve to death if the snow closes the mountains in winter? But how do you make this money? Shen Yu knows how to use medical skills, but Shenjia Village treats her as a fool, and if she wants to use her medical skills to make money, she has to go to the town or county.
At the moment, there is no travel money, so I can't go.
It seems that she still has to go into the mountains, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, she knows medicinal materials, and there must be no shortage of rare medicinal materials in the old forests of the forest.
Shen Yuyu made up his mind and decided to follow Ji Xun into the mountain.
Ji Xun wandered around outside and came back soon, he hunted a pheasant in the morning and sold it, bought some rice, and had to go into the mountains in the afternoon, how would he spend this winter when he didn't hunt more prey?
When he walked into the cave, he didn't squint, and he didn't look at Shen Yuyu at all.
Seeing that there were two bowls of porridge on the table instead of rice soup, his expression changed, and he did not speak, but drank the porridge with an indifferent face, and then put the rope sleeve hanging in the corner on his back, and took the animal clip, and took the crutch and walked out of the cave
Shen Yuyu hurriedly carried the basket and followed out: "I also want to go into the mountain." She was sure to let the other person know she wasn't joking.
Ji Xun's expression was stunned, I don't know if it was because Shen Yuyu didn't call him 'Ji Cripple' or because Shen Yuyu wanted to enter the mountain made him feel strange, this woman had been married to him for more than a month, except for eating and sleeping and scolding, and there was no day to stop.
Why did she change sex today? I didn't see the scolding, and I had to follow into the mountain, weird!
After being stunned for a moment, Ji Xun said coldly: "There are wild beasts in the mountains, it is not safe for you to go." After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
"You have a lot of experience in the mountains, so you must have a way to avoid the beasts." Shen Yuyu followed behind him unhurriedly, "Don't worry, I won't run around." ”
Ji Xun didn't care about it and only cared about himself, and he should be extremely disappointed and disgusted with the original owner, and he didn't want to say a word to her.
In this way, the two entered the mountain one after the other.
Of course, Shen Yuyu also spared her life, she followed Ji Xun wherever she went, and it was estimated that there were no bones left if she got lost in this kind of forest and old forest.
Ji Xun checked several traps and traps, but found nothing.
And Shen Yu only picked some ordinary medicinal materials, and picked some dried fungus on a dead tree, but the harvest was not big.
Ji Xun continued to walk into the depths of the forest without saying a word, Shen Yuyu watched and listened in all directions, and she followed as soon as Ji Xun left.
Not long after walking, a cliff appeared in front of him, and Shen Yuyu saw from a distance that there was a plant under the crooked neck tree next to the cliff that looked like a wild ginseng.
Hurriedly squatted down and dug up with the small wooden stick in his hand.
When you dig it out, you can see a big one, at least a hundred years old ginseng, which is now developed.
Shen Yuyu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and carefully tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped the ginseng and put it in the back basket.
And over there, Ji Xun heard a 'rubbing' sound here, and Shen Yuyu was tearing his clothes again, and his face couldn't help but sink.
Seeing Shen Yuyu's apologetic gaze, he hurriedly turned his head and pretended not to see it.
Shen Yu dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng, was satisfied, ran over to see how Ji Xun's trap was arranged, and couldn't help but speak on the side after watching it for a while.
"You're not set up like that, are you?" Shen Yuyu explained while fixing the rope nossing that Ji Xun didn't set correctly, "If the prey hits in this direction, then it eats the bait but can't step into the rope noose, if you put it like this...... Okay, you can do it, you can do it yourself. ”
Seeing Ji Xun's cold gaze, Shen Yuyu hurriedly shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside.
However, Ji Xun did not change it again, and arranged the rope sleeve according to what Shen Yuyu said, and then the two of them went out of the mountain before the sun set.
Back in the cave, the sun sets in the west, and the crimson sunset paints the cave golden yellow, which is also very interesting.
"Sister-in-law, have you entered the mountain? That's amazing. Ji Feng greeted him with a bright smile, he was bent on Shen Yuyu before, but he didn't want Shen Yuyu to reconcile with his brother, but at this moment his smile came from the heart, he felt that his sister-in-law had changed as if she was a person, and she was willing to accompany her brother into the mountain, he liked it in his heart!
"Awesome, right? When Ah Feng grows up, he has to be a brave and knowledgeable person. Shen Yuyu put down the basket as he spoke, and rubbed Ji Feng's little head melon seeds.
Ji Feng was so happy that his eyes were bubbling, like a dream.
In the morning, my sister-in-law scolded him for dragging the oil bottle and robbed him of half a bowl of porridge, I didn't expect this to be so gentle to him, it must be my sister-in-law's conscience that she wanted to live a good life with her brother.
Hehe, he is still looking forward to his sister-in-law giving birth to a baby as soon as possible and coming out to play with him.
"Sister-in-law, what treasure did you pick up in the mountains?" Ji Feng was close to Shen Yu, and looked into the back basket with a smile.
Shen Yu took out the same medicinal materials inside.
"This is a seven-leaf flower, which can clear heat, detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain, this is called Tianqi, and it is a good medicine for dissolving stasis and stopping bleeding......" Shen Yuyu, a modern Chinese medicine major, is like a treasure for these medicinal materials, and he listens to Ji Feng's worship.
The corners of Ji Xun's mouth hooked up a sneer, he still wanted to poison their brother with poison hemlock at noon, would he pretend to be afraid that he would report to the official? Hum! Ridiculous woman.
Shen Yucai didn't care what Ji Xun thought, she and Ji Feng got along quite happily.
"Ah Feng, where is the water? Let's go wash these herbs, dry them and sell them for money, oh yes, is there a pot? These dried fungus are washed and washed and cooked for you by your sister-in-law at night. ”
"Hmm." Ji Feng nodded heavily, his little bun-like face was full of happiness that could not be concealed, and he hurriedly ran to the corner to get a wooden basin and led Shen Yuyu out.
The well is located under an old locust tree in the middle of the cave and the village, and a clear spring bubbles up like a sapphire.
The well is divided into three by stone slabs, one for drinking, two for washing, and three for laundry.
At this time, the well was full of people, some came to fetch water for cooking, some came to wash vegetables and laundry, and it was very lively.
Seeing Shen Yuyu coming over with a basket on her back, Aunt Zhou in the village asked with a smile: "Yo, eucalyptus, come to wash the vegetables?" ”
Shen Yuyan glanced at Aunt Zhou, in her memory, Aunt Zhou's heart was not bad, and on weekdays, when the original owner was stupid, Aunt Zhou would persuade her, and when she greeted her, Shen Yuyu smiled at her and snorted.
Someone next to him looked up with disdain while washing vegetables: "What kind of dishes?" Does she grow vegetables? It is estimated that it is also a wild vegetable to be washed. "This is the Shen family, and the girl who fought with the original owner today and pushed the original owner down the lake is Shen Xi, the daughter of the Shen family.
It is also a relative, Shenjia Village, most of them are surnamed Shen, from the same family.
The young woman next to Shen also pulled the corners of her mouth with a look of schadenfreude: "Wild vegetables? Isn't it possible that I saw her picking wild vegetables in the field in the morning, and guess what wild vegetables she picked? Poison hemlock, hahaha, laughed at me. ”
Shen: "Sneer~~ I can't tell the difference? Idiot. ”
"My sister-in-law is not stupid." Ji Feng pinched his waist with his small hand and said angrily, "She is smarter than all of you, and she knows herbs." ”
Shen Shi Chong Ji Feng rolled his eyes: "Yo? Is it? Little oil bottle, you have to tell the lame brother when you go home, the wild vegetables picked by the fool Lin are poison hemlock, and after eating it, no one will go to the cave to collect your corpse tomorrow. ”
There was another burst of laughter at the well.
Aunt Zhou couldn't stand it anymore, looked at the little daughter-in-law next to the Shen family and said seriously: "I said Shen Wen's daughter-in-law, you and Shen Yu's family haven't come out of Wufu yet, and your relatives, you don't squeak when you see her picking poisonous celery?" ”
"She's not a child, she needs to be told?" Shen Wen's daughter-in-law pouted dissatisfiedly, "Maybe she didn't know each other at all, and she deliberately picked it up for Ji Xun to eat." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Zhou was silent, how well-behaved was Shen Yuyu when she was a child? has been taught badly by her stepmother over the years, maybe she really moved the idea of poisoning her Xianggong Ji Xun?
Thinking about it like this, Aunt Zhou hurriedly called Shen Yuyu over, took her back basket and looked inside, if this stupid girl really had such bad intentions, she had to persuade her, if she hurt people's lives, she wouldn't end up well, she was a poor person!
However, when she saw that there was indeed no poisonous celery in it, but a few herbs and some fungus, Aunt Zhou was still not at ease, and asked: "Eucalyptus, you have to tell the truth, have you picked poisonous celery and gone home?" ”
Shen Yuyan was very grateful to Aunt Zhou, and when she was so worried, she hurriedly said: "I picked it, but I picked it for fun, and I knew that I couldn't eat it all and throw it away." ”
Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, don't pick that kind of dish when you see it in the future, you will eat the dead." ”
"yes, got it." Shen Yuyu obediently responded.
"Then you wash slowly, and the eldest lady will go back first." Aunt Zhou said and soaked the vegetable basket in water and went home.
After Aunt Zhou left, Shen Yuyu and Ji Feng squatted down, and first took out the fungus in the back basket and put it in the basin to soak.
The medicinal herbs were full of mud, and Shen Yuyu saw that there was no one on the other side of the laundry well, so he took the back basket and went over there to wash it.
Erjing's side, Shen and Shen Wen's daughter-in-law and others are still chatting.
"I heard that Wang Xiucai returned to the village, and I met it when I came to the wellhead just now."
Shen deliberately said it very loudly, and peeked at Shen Yuyu from the corner of his eye as he spoke, if it was in the past, Shen Yuyu would have gone crazy as soon as he heard about Wang Xiucai, and then the whole village would go to Su's house to watch tricks.
But today......
Shen Yu slowly cleaned the medicinal herbs, as if he hadn't heard it.
It's weird, Shen is full of questions, is this stupid, poisonous and nymphomaniac Shen Yuyu deaf or has changed his temperament?
Several other women were also quite strange, especially Shen Wen's daughter-in-law, who was a little interested in Shen Yu's man Ji Xun, and couldn't wait to see Shen Yuyu and leave or make a fool of herself, so she took Shen's words and said deliberately: "I heard that Wang Xiucai wants to talk about family affairs in our village, and I don't know which girl has this honor." ”
"Really?" There was a touch of joy in Shen's eyes, her daughter Shen Xi also liked Wang Xiucai, Wang Xiucai had also taught Shen Xi to read and write before, but later because of Shen Yuyu, a nymphomaniac, Wang Xiucai did not dare to go back in the village, and gradually became estranged from Shen Xi.
Now that he has indicated that he wants to say goodbye in the village, won't the opportunity for his baby daughter come?
Shen Wen's daughter-in-law affirmed: "Of course it's true, otherwise what would he be doing when he went back to the village today?" I heard that there are no requirements, and it is okay to leave. ”
This was deliberately said to Shen Yuyu, if Shen Yuyan had heard this before, he would have thrown away the back basket and went back to find Ji Xun to make trouble and leave or entangle Wang Xiu.
But at this moment, Shen Yuyu seemed to be deaf and didn't react, but Shen reacted a little big, "That's Xiucai, is he willing to leave a woman?" Impossible. ”
Shen Wen's daughter-in-law hurriedly squeezed her eyebrows at Shen, meaning to fool Shen Fool, are you still serious?
Shen comprehended it, and hurriedly said haha to round it back: "Harm~~ What is impossible in this world, there are a lot of people who marry Huanghua girls with babies, as long as you like it." ”
"Isn't it? One of my mother's cousins is like this, my cousin-in-law fell in love with my cousin when she didn't leave, and then as soon as she left, she made up a happy pair......" Shen Wen's daughter-in-law stood up before Shen Yuyu's voice fell, and Shen was overjoyed when she saw this, ha~~ There is a trick to watch!
Ji Feng also stood up suddenly, and exhaled anxiously, "Sister-in-law." "I'm afraid that Shen Yuyu will leave him and go to Wang Xiucai to pester people to beg her.
What everyone didn't expect was that Shen Yuyu walked to Ji Feng's side, touched his little head, and said in a calm tone: "Have you washed it?" Let's go home. ”
"Wash it up, go home." Ji Feng replied loudly, tears almost came out of his eyes just now.
This is the daughter-in-law that my brother spent all the money to get back, and he must help his brother take care of his sister-in-law and prevent others from snatching her away.
Along the way, Ji Feng grabbed Shen Yuyu's hand tightly and almost made her laugh, this little guy didn't know what he was thinking.
Several women on the other side of the well looked at each other, as if they didn't know Shen Yuyu, this ...... Or is it still that nymphomaniac Shen fool? ”
Back in the cave, Ji Xun had already cooked the porridge and served it cold.
With a cold face, he didn't look at Shen Yuyu squarely, and he didn't talk to her, and when Yu Yu came in, he was clumsily holding a needle and sewing Ji Feng's torn pants.
Shen Yu couldn't help but be happy, no wonder the needle corners of those patches on the clothes and bedding were crooked, it turned out to be made up by this one-meter-nine man, but his hands were really good-looking, the joints were slender and symmetrical, and the pores were delicate, which looked like the hands of a farmer?
Shen Yuyu glanced at Ji Xun and walked into the cave, put away the cleanly washed hundred-year-old mountain ginseng properly, and found an old dustpan in the corner and walked out of the cave.
Put the cleaned medicinal materials on the dustpan, and then put the dustpan on the cool clothes rack, Shen Yuyu picked up the empty basket and entered the cave.
"Ah Feng, go get a big bowl." Shen Yuyu put the basket in the corner, turned his head and instructed Ji Feng.
"Hmm." Ji Feng quickly brought the bowl and put it on the table.
In addition to the bowl, there is also a wooden basin on the table, and the basin is soaked fungus, which looks very brittle.
Ji Feng stared at those fungus for a moment, "Sister-in-law, how do you eat this fungus?" "During these days, there was a gruel, and it was rare to see different food at home, and the little guy's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Cold salad." Shen Yuyan replied.
Blanch the fungus first, soak it in cold water again, wash your hands and tear the fungus into a bowl.
"Is there any chili?" She also asked casually, many modern things are imported from abroad, such as tomatoes and potatoes, I don't know if there are peppers here.
"There's chili powder." Ji Feng replied.
Sure enough, it's an overhead dynasty, and there are even chili peppers, surprise! Hurriedly instructed Ji Feng to bring the chili powder.
I looked around again, and found a pickled jar in the corner, with half a jar of sour beans in it, and I remember that it was sent by Mrs. Wang. Dip a little sour water and taste it, hey, it's quite fragrant, authentic old altar sour water, busy scooping a little out for later use.
After the fungus is torn, add an appropriate amount of salt to the bowl, pour a spoonful of chili powder, pour a little sour water, sprinkle the wild onion pulled back by Ji Feng before, and mix it with all the color and flavor.
