While chatting with everyone, Han Li did not forget to explain the prevention of some diseases, as well as the effects, taboos, and preparation methods of common local herbs.

Speaking of herbal medicines, everyone discussed the effects of some home remedies, and Han Li wrote down all those pens that felt effective.

But when this person chats a lot, it is easy to turn around, I don't know who took a sentence, and the topic in the room gradually began to be crooked, and some people couldn't even take care of the soles of their shoes.

As soon as certain topics opened, the entire health room was filled with laughter, and Han Li listened to everyone's chat, not knowing why his thoughts drifted to when he first arrived in Shanghe Village.

Han Li hadn't forgotten the hot time of this summer, especially when he was working in the fields, people would feel even hotter and unbearable.

However, Han Li thought of the situation that everyone had just talked about freezing on the well platform, which made him want to find a way to store more ice during this season.

When the sun is scorching outside next summer, there are plenty of ice cubes in my room to cool down, and a cup of chilled sour plum soup in my hand will feel so refreshing.

These two ways to relieve the heat can take ice from small rivers and streams, because it doesn't matter whether it is dry or not.

Generally, when others need to take ice until 49 or 59, the ice in the river is the hardest and thickest, and then use iron drills and ice drills to drill vertically on the ice surface to make the required size of ice cubes, and then hook it up with barbs, tie it with a rope and drag it to the ice cellar dug in advance.

Taking ice like this was not only hard but also dangerous, but Han Li had this golden finger to decompose, and in the eyes of outsiders, the tedious and tiring ice extraction was just a matter of waving his hand to him.

The small river at the entrance of the village is too conspicuous, and the children will definitely go there to skate and play when the water surface freezes, so it is inconvenient for him to do it here, but fortunately, there is no shortage of various streams and waterholes in this vicinity, and there are too many places for him to take ice.

When Han Li was here, he remembered that he still had a problem to face, if it was just him, there was no concept of time in decomposing space, the size, shape, and number of ice cubes were all in his mind, no matter how much ice was stored, it was very simple.

But now that he has a partner, and he is accompanied by his sister-in-law, he needs to have some of these ice cubes known to them.

Then Han Li would need to dig out an ice cellar in the courtyard and store the ice cubes in it, so that he could use the ice cubes in the decomposition space to hide from the two Yun family sisters.

Most of the better ice cellars are vaulted ice cellars made of masonry and masonry, and a small door is built next to them to make it easy to get ice when it's hot.

But ordinary people dig a deep pit, put ice cubes from the river into it, cover it with a layer of straw or mats, and then bury it deep with soil.

The masonry was too troublesome, so Han Li planned to simply dig a dirt pit to bury the ice, leaving nothing visible on the ground.

When you use it in the summer, you can get a small door next to it and take it little by little, so that the ice inside does not melt too quickly.

But this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, the weather is not too cold now, and it is inconvenient for people to come and go here every day.

After entering the wax moon, the river will be completely frozen, and the road will be closed by heavy snow, and it is not too late for everyone to do this when they don't come out at home, anyway, it is relatively simple to dig a big hole in the ground with a golden finger.

However, this matter can only be done secretly and enjoyed secretly in the coming year, if it is known and reported to someone who cares, a hat that is greedy for enjoyment will be firmly buckled on Han Li's head, that is definitely not what he wants.

In addition, Han Li also planned to let the Yun family sisters boil some boiling water to make ice, which could be made into edible ice cubes and smoothies in the coming year, and everyone would feel more comfortable eating them.

While Han Li's thoughts were drifting in the sky, Yun Yingying walked over with a depressed face on her face.

"What's going on? Is it because you lose playing cards? ”

Yun Yingying: "No, the squirrel we caught just ran away." ”

"Run, run, I'll help you catch a nest another day, and remember to close the door of the cage when the time comes."

"It's not that I didn't close the door, it's that the squirrel bit the cage and ran away."

Han Li only remembered at this time that the teeth of squirrels and rats grew very quickly, and they themselves couldn't feel any trouble if their teeth were too long, so they needed to bite things often to grind their teeth, and the cage they made was all wooden, and it was not uncommon for a squirrel to bite off a railing and run out.

"It's okay, next time we catch a squirrel, let's make the cage thicker, and then feed it more pecans to grind its teeth, if it still doesn't work, we will cut its teeth every once in a while like cutting its nails."

After listening to this, Yun Yingying paused and asked, "Can the squirrel's teeth still be cut?" ”

"Why not, it's like you can't scratch my back if you cut your nails off, but if you can't do it, I'll do it when I catch the squirrel."

After hearing this, Yun Yingying directly gave Han Li a good-looking white eye, revealing the upper and lower rows of small white teeth rubbing each other, but her appearance was not fierce at all, but it reminded Han Li of the time when he first fed her.

At this time, the door of the health room was pushed open, and Aunt Zhang entered the room from the outside with a snowstorm and spoke.

"Let me tell you something I just heard, the donkey in Xiaohe Village died suddenly for some reason, some of them said to share the meat, some said to sell it for money, and now they are arguing about how to deal with the donkey."

"Aunt Zhang, is that the donkey that was bitten by a wolf last time? Hasn't it been cured? How did he die all of a sudden? ”

Aunt Zhang: "How do I know this, but the chickens that were killed by wolves last time have not been compensated, and many members of their village have said that they bought the dead donkeys in exchange for money, and let everyone buy the chicken seedlings back first, so that they can lay eggs in the winter and spring next year." ”

"It can't be that their village deliberately killed the donkey in order to buy chicken seedlings, right?"

"Wouldn't it? How much is two chicken seedlings, and the donkey is the property of the public, who has so much courage? ”

"It's hard to say, the people in Xiaohe Village have never been very good, and it's not unusual for some of them to do this kind of thing."

"Then let's go see the excitement, and if they buy it, let's see if we can pick up some bargains."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up, I'll go home and put the sewing basket, and we'll meet at the entrance of the village later."

These sisters-in-law and aunts mainly go to see the excitement, and the old men in the family can bring back some meat if they are diligent, so they may not necessarily buy this meat unless the price is too cheap.

At this time, Aunt Zhang said to Han Li: "Han Zhiqing, do you want to go, my aunt has relatives in Xiaohe Village, if they buy donkey meat in their village, I can help you get some good meat." ”

Although it is said that dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground, Han Li is not very interested in this donkey meat, mainly because he doesn't know what the cause of its death is, but if the donkey skin is cheap, he can buy it back and boil some ejiao out, this thing is enough for Han Ma, Sister Han, and Yun family sisters.

"Aunt Zhang, then I'll go with you to take a look, it doesn't matter if you buy donkey meat or not, but I'm very interested in that donkey skin, if they want to sell it in their village, please ask Aunt Zhang to help me lower the price."

The people in the house who hadn't left before heard that Han Li was going to buy donkey skins, so someone spoke up to persuade them.

"What do you want that thing for, if you have that money, you can go to the bazaar and exchange two wolf skins."

Han Li smiled and said, "I don't want this donkey skin to be used to make hides, I plan to use it as a medicine primer." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was silent, and they all went home to put on the needlework and prepare to go to Xiaohe Village to watch the excitement.

Han Li bolted the door of the health room, and the two of them came to the courtyard together.

Yun Yingying: "You don't want to buy donkey skin to boil Ejiao, right?" ”

"Our family Yingying is smart, and she guessed what I wanted to do at once, but you and your sister have a share in this Ejiao."

"I'm so young and strong that I don't need to eat this."

"Ejiao can replenish blood, eat less to make up for your monthly losses."

"Oh, why do you say everything."

"What, what, I just want your body to be great, what's wrong with that?"

After the two of them walked into the house, Hao Hongmei, Yang Xiuying and Yun Jingjing were playing cards, but when they heard that they were going to see the excitement, Yang Xiuying directly put away the cards in her hand, and it looked like she was the loser today.

Everyone looked at Yang Xiuying with a smile, but instead of being embarrassed, they said confidently.

"I'm about to suffocate me for this time, shouldn't I be more active now that there's a lot of excitement to watch? I'll go back and change my shoes first, and we'll go." ”

After Yang Xiuying finished speaking, she ran out of the house, and Hao Hongmin and the Yun family sisters smiled and went home to change their shoes.

When Han Li changed his shoes and walked out of the street, there were really a lot of people outside to see the excitement together.

Almost everyone who got the news was going to go, and it seemed that everyone was suffocated in the house during this time.

Wu Lili took Yang Xiuying's arm and stood with Hao Hongmin, and the rest of the people would also gather in twos and threes to talk.

When they saw that there were almost no more people, everyone walked towards the entrance of the village together, and at this time, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi came to Han Li's side.

"How has Qi Xiaomei been studying in the past two days?"

Qi Zhaodi: "Brother Han, I have now learned the textbook of the first grade of junior high school. ”

"Then you have to continue to work hard, and when you are almost done, I will find someone to make up for your graduation certificate."

"Thank you, Brother Han."

He Mi asked in a low voice at this time: "I heard Yingying say that you want to buy that donkey skin to boil Ejiao?" ”

"yes."

"Then let's buy this donkey skin together, just give me some after you finish the finished product, I just need Ejiao to mix a recipe."

Han Li knew that He Mi's ancient literary attainments were very high, and it was not surprising that she had a few recipes in her hand, so he said cheerfully.

"It's the first time I've made ejiao, and I don't know how much ejiao can be produced from a donkey skin, but no matter how much I produce, I'll be here for you first,"
