Chapter 15: Wildflowers
Qian Yan just thought of this, and before she could speak to Chou Chou, Chou Chou took the initiative to convey to her: "Yan Yan, otherwise I will go to the mountain to take a look, I heard that coal can not only be used to smelt iron, but there is still so much gold in my space, what if it can also be alchemized?" ”
At that time, it dug the Xiangxiangna gold mine, although there was a lot of dog's head gold in it, it was already relatively pure, and it could be exchanged for money directly.
More of it is still in the state of ore, not gold that has been refined and purified.
If you want to spend it as money, you have to refine it again.
Although neither of them knows how to refine, after all, they haven't been in contact with it, anyway, there are a lot of gold mines, so they can try it slowly.
And this coal, as soon as you hear it, it's a good thing, in case you use it when, anyway, his space is very empty, and no matter how many things you have, you can put it down.
Qian Yan thought about it, after all, she didn't know how much coal was left in the neighboring village, if it wasn't enough, she couldn't say that she would have to secretly add some to it.
Of the five men in the village, one remained in the village in case something unexpected and the women couldn't cope with it.
The other four went to the next village with baskets on their backs.
They walked on the front foot, and the ugly back foot also ran in the direction of the coal mountain.
Although it is said that Wangshan is running a dead horse, it is not far away, but it is not close, and it is really not worrying at the speed of ugliness, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back at noon.
The orchid on the side watched the ugly disappear quickly from sight, and quickly turned her head to Qian Yan and said, "Sister Xue, your monkey ran away!" ”
Tilt Yan patted her shoulder and smiled: "It's okay, it went out to play by itself, and it will come back in a while, and the little monkey can't be idle." ”
Orchid looked in the direction where the ugly ugly disappeared, then looked at Qian Yan, and said no more.
She still thinks that Sister Xue is a fairy, and the monkey can't be her spirit animal.
She had accidentally seen Sister Xue talking to the monkey, the monkey nodded for a while, and shook his head for a while, how could such a psychic be an ordinary monkey.
There is also the divine power that can kill the Khitan soldiers with one move, except that the immortals don't think about it.
The two looked at the same place for a while, and Yang Erzhuang, who was left, packed up the wheels.
Orchid looked left and right, and now there was nothing to do with the two of them, so she said to Qian Yan: "Sister Xue, didn't you say that you like wild flowers?" Shall I take you to pick it? It's not far away, just behind that slope. ”
Tilt Yan looked in the direction she pointed, it was a low dirt slope to the west, and it was indeed not very far.
When they walked to the top of the dirt slope, they found that the view on the soil slope was better, on the left was Yang Jiaping, and on the right was the so-called neighboring village where Yang Dashan and they went, and here they could still see Yang Dashan's four people walking that way.
It's like the dividing line between the two villages.
She also found that the houses in the neighboring villages seemed to be significantly more regular than those in Yangjiaping, and there were a few adobe houses that she had seen that were square, unlike Yangjiaping, which were all round.
She asked Orchid curiously, "Why are the houses in your two villages still different in shape?" ”
Orchid looked in the direction that Qian Yan pointed and said, "It used to be the same, but later there were a few families over there who worked in the coal kiln and earned some money, and they built the same tiled houses as the houses in the town. ”
After listening to the orchid's words, Qian Yan looked over again, and took a closer look, really, there were tiles on the roof.
The color was not like the modern red tiles, it was gray, and it was hardly much different from the adobe wall, so she didn't see it for a while.
However, she was still a little curious, "Then you can also build that kind of square adobe house here, and the roof can't afford tiles, so you can directly use the current mud and grass roof." ”
Orchid shook her head and said, "My grandmother said that if you build that kind of house, you need to use the kind of thick and straight wood to make purlins, otherwise the mud and grass will collapse."
However, the good timber on the mountain is owned by the owner, and it is not something that we can cut at will, and all we can use is the small tree on this hill, which does not grow straight and slippery, and is crooked and very short, so it can only be made into a dome.
After this was made into a dome, it was rare for a roof to collapse and crush people......"
Qian Yan nodded, it turned out that this was the case, she really didn't think about it so much, she thought that they were all adobe houses anyway, and they were all the same.
It turns out that when I was really poor, I couldn't even build an adobe house.
Thinking that her father had told her before, in the early days of the port city, many people from the mainland had no place to live, so they just built a shack on the side of the mountain.
It's the kind of random fence with a few planks, or snakeskin bags, and it is estimated to be even more tattered than that.
That is, the climate over there is warm, and if it is like the climate with four distinct seasons here, it is estimated that many people will freeze to death in winter.
While the two of them were chatting, they walked forward, and continued up a little further along the dirt slope, and when they went down a little further, they found that there was a very small col there.
There are a lot of weeds in the col, and some of them have scattered small flowers, so this must be where the orchid is talking about.
Sure enough, Orchid said to her: "Sister Xue, look, this is what I'm talking about, now the flowers are gone, not a lot, if it's spring, it's all here."
There are yellow, red, purple, and pink ones, which are especially beautiful! I'll take it back and put it in the house, and it smells good! ”
Qian Yan looked at the scattered small flowers and the lush weeds.
It is said to be wild grass, as if there are several kinds of wild vegetables that grandma has brought with her.
That's right, it's a wild vegetable, there is a kind of yellow flower called Po Po Ding, as soon as spring, grandma will take her to the lake next to their alley, get some back to dip sauce to eat.
She didn't like it very much, and felt that the leaf was a little sloppy and a little bitter.
But Mom and Dad and grandparents like to eat it, saying that this is going to be hot.
She knows two or three things in this, and one of them is amaranth, which she likes to eat, because it can be fried and eaten, or it can be scalded with boiling water and then mixed with garlic, and she doesn't know anything else.
But because of the season, the pole has grown very tall and has begun to beat the seeds, so I guess I can't eat it, right? She didn't know much about that.
I heard the orchid say: "This, this, this, these kinds are all edible, we will get some back to eat as vegetables when we are green and yellow in the spring, and now the vegetables at home are growing, so no one eats them......"
