Chapter 30 Ten families open up the wasteland and nine escape
When Shen Yao cooked the meal and entered the house, Qin Dachuan asked Shen Yao about it under the expectation of the village chief, and he also had a bit of temptation.
Shen Yao hesitated for a moment, and when the village chief thought that the matter would not be successful, he heard Shen Yao say: "Uncle, let me teach the villagers to collect medicine." But I didn't dare to take everyone to the mountains, in case I encountered a fierce beast, I couldn't bear the responsibility. ”
"Then don't go into the mountains, how much you earn depends on everyone's ability." The village chief was busy, for fear that Shen Yao would regret it.
"Actually, I try to grow medicinal herbs at home, and if I can do it, the villagers will follow me to plant it. There is a lot of wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and it is also possible to set aside two ridges in the vegetable garden, which is also a long-term entry. Shen Yao said again.
"Wasteland?" This time, the village chief was a little hesitant, "Nine of the ten families have escaped the famine, is this kind of medicinal herb more stable than growing grain?" ”
"Although they all rely on the sky for food, the medicinal herbs that can be grown at the foot of the mountain are generally not particularly bad for the year, and the grass can live if it can live. This is the kind of herb that will be cheaper. Shen Yao explained.
The common people of this dynasty did not dare to go to the hospital when they were sick, because the medicinal materials were pure and wild.
If it can be planted successfully, it will be the welfare of the people, and it will also promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry, which is a virtuous circle.
"Well, I'll think about it." The village chief didn't give him a letter, and it was the first time he had heard about planting medicinal herbs.
Qin Dachuan had been observing Shen Yao's expression, and seeing that she was sincere and selfless, he couldn't help but think a little more.
"When I was a soldier, I heard people talk about growing medicinal herbs, so I didn't ask much if I didn't understand." Qin Dachuan silently endorsed Shen Yao.
Sure enough, the village chief's expression became lively again, and he was just in a hurry to go back to deliver food, and only said that he would come back in the evening.
After sending the village chief away, Shen Yao brought the food to the house, and filled her stomach first before talking to Qin Dachuan about a few homely things.
"Have you really heard about growing medicinal herbs?" Shen Yao didn't want to be sentimental and think that Qin Dachuan was speaking for himself, so he asked this question.
"Hmm." Qin Dachuan responded lightly, he didn't know how to tell the truth.
"Then I want to open up the wasteland, do you agree?" Shen Yao asked again.
"You're in charge." Qin Dachuan did not refute.
It is difficult to open up the wasteland, and it is even more difficult to raise the land, Shen Yao really wants to do this, which means that she wants to stay for a long time.
After today's acupuncture, although the body is weak, the number of headaches has decreased, indicating that Shen Yao's medical skills are not inferior to the imperial doctor.
Having a good doctor by their side is also a guarantee for them.
"That night, you ask the village chief the price of the wasteland, and when I sell this batch of medicinal materials, I will buy the land first." Shen Yao picked up the dishes and chopsticks, planning in his heart what medicinal herbs to plant after the wasteland was cleared.
In order to arouse the interest of the villagers in planting medicinal herbs, it is necessary to plant something that can be harvested in the current year, and it is easy to take care of and the price is moderate.
Since the garden is ready to open up the wasteland, the vegetable garden can be planted with a variety of vegetables for the winter and vegetables in the space to prepare for next year's big work.
Thinking like this, Shen Yao couldn't help but hum happily, "Dinosaurs carry wolves and wolves carry ......"
"Dinosaurs carry wolves, wolves carry ......" The whole brother smiled and hummed along with Shen Yao's rhythm, and the angry Sister Bao was busy covering her brother's mouth.
"Don't learn from that woman, maybe it's some kind of ghostly spell." The fear in Sister Bao'er's heart rose again, and she felt that Shen Yao was full of demonic aura everywhere.
Qin Dachuan didn't take his daughter's words to heart, and followed Shen Yao's back.
Can this mysterious woman be seen through one day?
said that Shen Yao didn't want to sleep in the West House, so she yawned at noon for the past two days, but she didn't dare to hide in the space in broad daylight.
Shen Yao, who was drying medicinal herbs, was waiting for the next time to enter the mountain, when he saw Wu Damei carrying two pairs of pigs into the water.
"Shen Yao, tell me how to make this thing tasteless, I'm afraid that if it doesn't work well, I'll be blind." Wu Damei carried the basket and sent it straight to the side, pinching her nose with the smell.
"I'll go get the basin, let's go to the river and wash it, this thing wastewater." Shen Yao's sleepy worm was half driven away in an instant.
The world is big, and the money is the biggest.
Shen Yao quickly filled a basket of stove ashes, put the salt jar into the basin, and then joined Wu Damei, and the two walked to the river with a smile.
Pig heart, pig lung and pig liver are soaked in water to remove blood, and pig intestines and pork belly are turned over with wooden sticks, repeatedly rubbed with plant ash, and then cleaned with water, and finally have to be rubbed with salt.
Both of them were working with their noses blocked, chatting about homely things by the way, most of them were Wu Damei talking, and Shen Yao was listening.
"That kid from the Zhang family will be buried tonight, I heard that the Zhang Er's family hasn't shown up since Zhang Garlic is gone, and everyone guesses that she is involved in the old Zhang family's family background and remarried." Wu Damei lowered her voice and said.
"Well, I persuaded Second Sister-in-law Zhang to come that day, but she listened." Shen Yao said with a smile.
"You Nizi, you have enough eyes. If you want me to say that your persuasion is good, a portal like the old Zhang family is not worth being a widow, and there is no hope when you are old. ”
Wu Damei sighed, and then said, "Don't go out if you're okay today, it's not good to bump into them." ”
"I listen to Sister Da Mei." Shen Yao should be happy.
I have worn all the books, and some evil things can be avoided, so don't spoil your koi luck.
Seeing Shen Yao listening to persuasion like this, Wu Damei was stunned for a moment, and then changed the topic and gave Shen Yao science about the people and things in the village.
After washing the pig and going into the water, Shen Yao learned about Baijia Village, and even the Qin family's complex interpersonal relationships also had a preliminary understanding.
There are still leftovers in the material package that Shen Yao prepared before, and he put some old brine and sent it to Wu Damei, and the matter of brining the water from today will be handed over to Wu Damei, and Shen Yao can also free up his hands to do something else.
In addition to the pork lungs are not delicious, the pig heart and pork liver should also be marinated, so in addition to frying a pig lung at night, Shen Yao also made a pig lung soup and cut the pig's head meat, and the dish was hard enough.
"Tomorrow, the official will take everyone back to the yamen, and I can finally drill into the stove room less." Shen Yao sniffed his arms, and they all smelled of oily smoke.
But the original owner only had two clothes, and he changed them at most once a day, if it wasn't for the smell of medicine, Shen Yao would be afraid that he would vomit.
"Since we sue the official, the yamen will probably sentence everyone Zhang to give you some compensation, but understand her pain of losing her child, and will not put her in prison." Qin Dachuan gave Shen Yao the knowledge of the law.
Shen Yao slapped her arm and said, "I didn't think about what to do with her, but she will hate me even more when she comes back, and it will be a trouble after all." ”
Qin Dachuan looked at Shen Yao without speaking, seeing that she just said it casually, and didn't take it to heart, he couldn't help but suspect that Shen Yao was planning to do something to Zhang.
didn't know what Qin Dachuan was thinking, otherwise Shen Yao would definitely scare him with the heart of a villain.
"Tomorrow when they're gone, I want to go to town. I have saved a lot of medicinal herbs, and I can't carry any more, so I'll give you acupuncture when I come back. Shen Yao informed Qin Dachuan that there was no intention of discussing.
Glancing at Shen Yao deeply, Qin Dachuan asked, "Can you find your way to the town?" ”
