In these years, only a few people are proficient in medicinal materials, and generally only those who study medicine and those who make a living by collecting and buying medicines know the value of these medicinal materials. Ordinary people, even if they see it, don't care. Therefore, the gastrodia in the forest is very prosperous, and if you can't go far, you can meet one or several trees, but the Yunxue sisters didn't need to go far, they met more than a dozen.

Yunni was very happy, her little face was red, her eyes were wide, and she tried hard to find Tianma. Every time she sees one, she gets excited. They came down from the hill and went around into a ravine in which was a meadow. Inside the meadow, there are some dwarf shrubs, and there are mounds of towerhead grass.

Yun Xue's idea was attracted by a plant in Dianzi. That plant is also a shrub that doesn't grow very tall, with ovoid leaves that are opposite, and the leaves are not too big. Underneath the leaves, there are countless blue-purple fruits. The fruit was slightly elongated, about the size of a little finger.

"The dates are ripe, this day is really fast enough." This thing is a kind of wild fruit that they love very much. The children in the mountains have few snacks, and when they see these wild fruits, they will pick a lot of them and go back to eat them.

This jujube tastes sweet and sour, some are slightly bitter, but the bitterness is not terrible, and it tastes good. Dian dates, trays, tang pears, mountain red, mountain grapes, soft dates, these things, are children's favorites, every time these things are ripe, many children will struggle to pick some to satisfy their hunger.

In the past, Yun Xue often picked some for her younger siblings, but this year she was so busy that she didn't even realize that the jujubes were ripe. "Come on, let's pick some back and give Yunxia their hunger."

Yun Ni smiled, "Okay. "She loves to eat this too.

While talking, the two sisters put down the back basket, and Yun Xue also had some gastrodia in the back basket, which was poured directly into Yun Ni's back basket, and then Yun Xue picked a big leaf and spread it under the back basket. "Okay, so that you won't get the dates dirty."

The two sisters casually found a Dianjube tree and began to pick Dianjube seeds.

There are a lot of jujubes, and there are a lot of them growing under a branch. To pick this thing, you usually turn the branches over, the bottom is facing up, and then you can see the picking. The blue-purple, soft fruits are put in your hand, and you feel very cute when you look at them. Yun Xue picked it and put it in her mouth, "Well, it's delicious." "This taste is very mellow, compared with the fruits that came out of the greenhouses in later generations, it has a more fruity aroma and a natural taste.

The two sisters wandered around in the meadow, where there were many jujube trees, some of which produced very small fruits, about the same as soybeans, and some of which were very large, longer than beans. Yunxue They naturally picked the good ones, every time they came to a tree, they would pick two to taste it first, if it was too bitter, they didn't want it, if it wasn't bitter, they would all pick it off.

It took them an hour to pick up the half-basket. "Eldest sister, isn't it enough, we can't just eat this thing, we can't eat too much and not lose our teeth?" Yunni felt that enough was enough.

Yun Xue shook her head, "Get some more, go back and try to boil it out." There is a lot of powder at home this year, and it is useless to keep it, just to boil the ointment. When the time comes, it's dry, and it's good to be a snack for Yunxia in winter. "Tianfu washed out a lot of potato flour last year, and you can't just eat vermicelli, this year I planted a lot of potatoes, and I can wash out the powder when the time comes, and I can use some of it.

"That's okay, it's all up to the eldest sister." As soon as Yunni heard this, she lowered her head and continued to pick.

"In fact, Dianjube can still be pickled with honey. You wait, tomorrow I will dig out a honeycomb, get some good honey back, pickle some dates for you to taste, and keep what you love. Yun Xue smiled.

"Huh? Can you still eat jujubes like this? Oh, yes, honey is sweet, marinated in honey, it will definitely be delicious. When Yunni thought about that feeling, she felt that her saliva was a little uncontrollable. Eldest sister, it's too dangerous to dig out the honeycomb, so let's not get it. ”

"It's okay, the beehive is also a medicinal herb, so keep it for you. The eldest sister is not afraid of bees, there is a way. After Yun Xue said a few words, she continued to bow her head and pick dates.

The two men didn't stop until the basket was almost full. Yun Xue made a few more large leaves, covered them on the top of the jujubes, and used some vines to stop the top of the back basket a few times. Then Yun Xue carried Dianjujube on her back, Yunni carried Tianma on her back, and the two sisters went home.

At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and a group of old men were sitting in the shade at the gate of the Han family playing chess. Yunxia sat on a broken mat, very bored watching them play chess, and suddenly saw the eldest sister and the second sister coming back, the little guy's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he stood up and rushed towards the sisters. "Eldest sister, second sister, I miss you all." While speaking, he had already come to Yun Xue's face, hugged Yun Xue's thigh and didn't let go.

"Little sister, let go quickly, go home with the eldest sister, and see what good things the eldest sister brought back for you." Yun Xue smiled and coaxed her sister.

Yun Xia's big eyes looked at Yun Xue very curiously, "Eldest sister, did you come back with good things?" Oh, that's amazing. ”

"Let's go, go home with the eldest sister, the eldest sister is very tired carrying such a heavy thing. When you get home, put down the basket, can the eldest sister find you something to eat? Yun Xue stretched out her hand, pulled Yun Xia's little hand, and entered the courtyard together.

The three sisters entered the yard, and then put down the back basket, Yun Xue untied the vines on the back basket, and then lifted the big leaves, revealing the jujubes inside, "Look, the eldest sister has made a lot of jujubes." ”

Yunxia looked at the thing in front of her very suspiciously, she was still young after all, even if she might have eaten it last year, she had forgotten it for a year. "What is this?" She felt that the blue-violet color was a little ugly.

Yun Xue picked up two and ate them, "Dian dates, it's delicious, you can taste it." ”

Yunxia was a little scared, "Can you eat it?" "My little face is wrinkled, for fear that it won't taste good.

"You can eat it, sweet and sour, you see that the eldest sister has eaten it." Yun Xue took two more to eat.

Yunni also reached out and grabbed a few at this time, "It's delicious, you ate it last year, but you forgot about it this time." Come on, the eldest sister also said that she will eat it with honey tomorrow. ”

Yunxia watched that the eldest sister and the second sister had eaten it, and it seemed that the taste was okay, she thought about it and felt that she should try it, so she took one and put it in her mouth to bite half of it. At first, the little eyebrows were still wrinkled, always ready, and if it didn't taste good, it would be spit out quickly. As a result, the sweet and sour taste in the mouth was quite acceptable, her eyes immediately widened, and she ate the remaining half at once, and then reached out and grabbed several of them, and put them in her mouth at once.

"Don't worry, the eldest sister will serve you some in a bowl and eat slowly." Yun Xue couldn't help but laugh when she saw this little guy's cautious appearance, this little thing has too many ghost eyes.

"Eldest sister, let's cook some millet porridge at night, I have to cook the gastrodia and dry it." Gastrodia is a bit like a potato, with a lot of starch content, and it needs to be cooked before it can be dried. But boiled directly with water, the color is not good-looking, and it will also affect the efficacy, all of which are boiled in a millet porridge pot, and the boiled millet porridge is also very good for the body.

"Okay, I'll cook millet porridge that night, and then steam some wotou, there is no dough during the day, and the steamed cakes will not follow." Yun Xue looked at the sky and felt that it was still early, but there was no need to worry, "Help me try boiled jujube paste first, see if it works, if it works, let's go get a little more, and keep it for snacks when the time comes." ”

Yun Ni said this to Yun Xue, and she was quite curious, and she didn't know if she could do it. "Okay, let's try it first."

The two sisters brushed the pot clean, then added some water to the pot and poured the dates into the pot. Jujube is naturally grown, there will be no pesticides and other things, and there will be a layer of white cattails on the outside, which will not fall on dust and other dirty things, so there is no need to clean it at all, and it can be used directly.

The fire was boiled at the bottom of the pot, and when the water in the pot boiled, he kept stirring with a spoon and crushed the jujube as much as possible. Originally, the skin of the jujube was very thin, and it would break when touched, and the water was hot, so it was easy to break all of them.

When the jujubes in the pot turned into juice, Yun Xue took a fence and fished back and forth in the pot to remove some of the sundries inside. Of course, the main thing is that the fruit is very small, and it is difficult to pick it off by hand, so it is better to use the fence to fish it quickly. As the water evaporated, it gradually became a little sticky, and Yun Xue went out to find a lot of flour and some sugar, adding it little by little and stirring until the pot was already slimy.

"You help me watch, you can't burn the fire under the pot anymore, just keep stirring, I'll prepare something." Yun Xue said, handed the spoon to Yun Ni, and went to find a square plate, which was used to make tofu. Yun Xue brushed the square plate with water, and then wiped the inside of the square plate with some oil. After that, I used a spoon to scoop the paste from the pot into a square plate.

The pot is a small half pot of paste, scooped into the square plate, but it is only a finger-thick layer. Yun Xue deliberately tossed the plate a few times, so that all the paste was flattened.

Over there, Yunni hurriedly added water to the pot and brushed the pot out, this jujube is sour, if it is not brushed in time, I am afraid that the pot will rust.

Yun Xue came outside with a square plate and put it where the sun could reach it. But not long after it was put outside, a fly buzzed over and wanted to land on it. When Yun Xue saw this, she hurriedly waved her hand away. "Big sister, come and help me watch, I'll go find some gauze and cover it."

Yun Xue entered the house, found a piece of gauze that was very clean, and then covered it on the top of the square plate, and found a few small stones around to press it, so that there was no need to worry about flies to make trouble. In these years, only a few people are proficient in medicinal materials, and generally only those who study medicine and those who make a living by collecting and buying medicines know the value of these medicinal materials. Ordinary people, even if they see it, don't care. Therefore, the gastrodia in the forest is very prosperous, and if you can't go far, you can meet one or several trees, but the Yunxue sisters didn't need to go far, they met more than a dozen.
