Chapter 263: The Eldest Princess in the Pit (13)
On the way back to the tribe, looking at the five ladies of the Xian family who were walking in front and still scratching their foreheads after applying medicine, Mrs. You asked worriedly.
"Ah Niang, does the herbal ointment in Xian Lang work?"
The three-free herbal ointment brought by the eldest wife of the Xian family is contained in a bison horn.
The color is black and the taste is stinky.
Dig it out and Xiang is really inseparable!
She really didn't dare to compliment, and she couldn't trust its efficacy.
"Probably it works! On weekdays, we don't walk around in the depths of the forest, and at most we can meet a few mosquito mothers, who are shot dead before they can fly to them. Only the men who hunted in the woods, who slept to death, would be bitten a few times from time to time, and scratched for a few days. If you can't stand the itching, you can get better every day or two after applying this medicine! β
"Then go back and let Daddy change a few more corners of herbal ointment! Isn't the eldest brother going to go to the inner mountain on the first day of the next month? Bring it all to him! Since it works, of course she can't dislike it (mainly not for her own use).
Zhao nodded when he heard this: "Hey! There are a lot of mosquito mothers in the col of the long rag seeds, so I have to ask your father to inform everyone to prepare more ointment. β
"Xian Langzhong's family still has some trauma medicine, but the experience is not desperate, and he is not afraid of no firewood."
"You're right, I don't care how other people's families teach their sons, and your eldest brother can't do anything!"
There is no doubt that the eldest son has an extraordinary status in the Zhao family's heart.
"Mm-hmm, we have to help the eldest brother think about it."
Mrs. You is anxious for her eldest brother, they have only been wandering around the outermost part of the forest for two days, and four of them have been injured by poison to varying degrees.
What would it be like to stay in the mountains and forests for a month?
No matter how many younger brothers there are, they have all been raised until they are thirteen years old, can they not feel distressed when they are folded in it?
Besides, it's still such a good brother of the dragon and phoenix to her!
On the way back to the tribe, Mrs. You learned to identify: the growth environment of wild vegetables such as ground gourd, bitter herbs, sauerkraut, and sugar beet, how to pick and handle their edible parts, as well as their practices and special medicinal effects.
Some wild plants are parasitic on large trees, some wild plants are buried in the soil, and many more clumps grow in weedy piles.
Field teaching is so random, what you encounter and what you recognize.
I don't know if the ancestors were too lazy to name it, or if they hadn't seen the wild vegetables here before, and they were named after whatever flavor the wild vegetables were.
Simple, brutal, easy to teach.
In addition to wild vegetables, I also saw a lot of wild mushrooms, and the women in the "giant pit" were almost a walking "encyclopedia of wild mushrooms".
Here, the colorful "red mushroom" stewed pheasant belongs to the first place in the food list.
There are also many gray and black mushrooms that cannot be eaten.
The women repeatedly emphasized that several types of wild mushrooms are the most popular with poisonous ants, and if you don't pay attention, there are nests of poisonous ants under the raised mounds.
There are too many precautions, too many, I can't remember them all, I can't remember them at all!
The little ladies have limited brain capacity, and no one has the ability to remember.
The aunt of the Zhao family made a final summary statement: "In short, nothing is more important than your own life, and if you can't remember everything, you will pick a few kinds of fungi that you can easily recognize, and it is best to give your aunt an eye after picking them up."
"Whew"
Earlier, the little ladies collectively exhaled, and the ninth cousin winked at her eldest cousin.
The group just walked, stopped, and studied, and returned home an hour before the evening eclipse.
Hearing the movement, the two mothers of her family, one holding You Xiaoniang and the other wiping their hands, greeted them from the gate of the mud courtyard.
Erniang took a large bag of rag seeds that Zhao carried back, and immediately began to clean up.
The slimy rag seeds only need to be soaked in a wooden barrel to be picked, so that they can be refreshing and do not stick to your hands.
You have to continue soaking after taking it off, and you have to change the water several times halfway.
It is said that it will take two or three days to soak before it can be cooked, and after boiling for an hour, it is salted and then put into an earthen jar to seal and preserve.
Think of the wild boar stew in rag seed sauce in your memory.
Tsk, drooling greedily.
Mrs. You used four pieces of honey date millet cake that were a little sour and hidden, and obtained two rua head decompression tool dolls, and the two babies almost didn't hang on her legs as pendants.
When the three sisters and brothers finish eating, and rua's rua is finished, it's almost time to eat the evening meal.
"Sister, I'm going to sit and eat too!" Xiao Jiu flashed her big Danfeng eyes, pulled her sleeves, and looked at her with a smile.
"What is Dundun?" Someone's brain circuits can't keep up with a three-year-old cub, and they look confused.
Xiao Jiu was stuck, and Xiao Ba added when he saw this: "Didn't my sister ask my father and eldest brother to do it yesterday?!" β
Mrs. You vigorously rubbed her brother's brain: "Little fool, it's not a dundun, it's called a stool!" Daddy did it so quickly, right? Sister's stool is not suitable for you to sit on with short legs! β
"Sister is bad, Xiao Jiu sits on a pier, and her legs are not short!" Xiao Jiu was not convinced, tilted his head and pouted, thinking that his sister was stingy and unwilling to sit for him.
"Then let's go, my sister will let you see what it isβhigh and low matching."
As soon as the three sisters entered the hall, they saw that the whole family was looking at the rare things, and the "stool" was freshly baked in the afternoon.
Looking at the triumphant display of Daddy You's works, Mrs. You pressed her head and was speechless.
What did she say to the two gas canisters just now?
High and low are not worthy!
Just take a look at it, hey, hey, it's really deserved!
The simple square stool without a backrest made by his father will be called a children's chair in the future!
The height of her family table is really suitable.
That's it, let's grow to 1.7 meters now, is it appropriate to sit on such a low stool?
"Girl, come on! Here you go! "Daddy You saw the main master, and she pulled it to the stool and proudly showed her it." It's very steady, and it's really much more comfortable to sit than to kneel!"
"Daddy, don't you think these two stools are a little lower?" Someone spoke as he gestured to the height of his head and stool.
"Where's the low? You try, it's just right to sit and eat. "He's really smart, he didn't listen to his daughter's blind command, and compared his own meals.
"But if I sit like this, my legs can't be straightened, and my legs are bent and numb after a night meal. Don't be afraid to make the stool high, it's a big deal for you to make our dinner table higher! The low table and low stool can be used for the eighth and ninth brothers and their children. β
Xiaoba and Xiaojiu listened to their sister's words, and one of them grabbed a low stool, and they couldn't get down if their buttocks were glued, and they proudly raised their chins to demonstrate to their brothers.
How much to owe and how much to underbeat.
