Gao Mingcheng also sent a bottle of honey and a plate of bullfrogs to Grandma's house, the bullfrogs are processed, just fry them in the pot.

Grandma Xi called him to eat at home, but Gao Mingcheng refused, saying that Duomei had already cooked the rice.

So Grandma Xi didn't force it, a few people spoke, and Gao Mingcheng said goodbye and left.

The next day, Gao Mingcheng really went to the sweet potato field to dig a small ridge of sweet potatoes and came out, shook off the soil, and saw small sweet potatoes hanging on the root system, the big ones were like adult fists, and the small ones were as slender as a baby's arms.

The potato seed he planted, when the wind and rain were good in previous years, grew a large sweet potato and could be eaten for cooking, so the local dialect on their side called rice potatoes again.

The potato seeds given by the fine grandmother's family are white-hearted, and the ridge he dug is white-hearted, and the skin is peeled off with a knife, and some milky white juice quickly emerges from the surface of the sweet potato, which is easy to stick.

Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, and they are a little sweet and crispy, Gao Mingcheng ate a sweet potato in a few bites, and he felt that it tasted good.

Looking down, the sweet potato vine was green, and the sweet potato was not particularly big, so he planned to dig some of it and eat it first, and keep the rest for a while.

Because many beauties like to eat red hearts, and think that red hearts are sweeter, so he went to dig a small ridge of red heart sweet potatoes, and then carried the sweet potatoes in one hand and a bundle of sweet potato vines in the other.

Many Mei were looking through the herbs, and when they saw him coming back with sweet potatoes, they couldn't help but say, "It's not time to dig sweet potatoes yet, right?" ”

"Well, but there's already someone digging in the village." Gao Mingcheng spoke, and then spread the sweet potatoes in a shady place.

The freshly dug sweet potatoes have a lot of water and have not yet been saccharified, so they are not sweet enough, and after a few days of dry water, they will be sweeter.

"I dug some up and ate them first, this big one can be used to cook porridge, and the small one can be roasted and eaten." Gao Mingcheng said as he divided the sweet potato vine in his hand into two parts, one part was fed to cattle and sheep, and the other part was spread out to dry in the sun.

Cattle and sheep can eat fresh sweet potato vines or they can eat dried ones, but it is said that cows cannot eat too much fresh sweet potato vines or they will have diarrhea.

"What do you feed them? I'll take them out later. "A lot of beauty is speechless, and I don't think it's necessary to feed it now.

"It's okay to take it out later, aren't you busy right now?" Gao Mingcheng said, watching many beautiful movements familiarly flipping through the medicinal herbs.

During this time, he went into the mountains every day to collect medicines, but most of the people who were responsible for handling the medicinal materials were many beauties.

Since many aesthetic societies have dealt with Poria cocos, once the skin of the house has shrunk to brown, she has taken care of it herself.

Nowadays, the bamboo sieve is full of all kinds of medicinal herbs, but fortunately, his yard is wide and there is enough space to dry.

"I'm going into the mountains." Gao Mingcheng took the tools and bag and prepared to enter the mountain.

After nearly half a month of mining, this side of the mountain forest near Gaojia Village has already been visited by him one by one.

This time, after his careful search, he found a few yellow essence plants in the shade of the tree.

Polygonatum is a multi-leafed leaf with leaves resembling bamboo leaves, but they are shorter than bamboo leaves.

It is a kind of medicinal herb that digs roots in autumn, and at this time there are some ripe fruits hanging on the Polygonatum plant, which is the seed of Polygonatum polygonatum in it.

There are two kinds of propagation of Polygonatum polygonatum (one is propagation with rhizomes and the other is propagation with seeds. Seed propagation is more troublesome and the growth rate is much slower, so from an economic point of view, it is better to choose rhizome propagation.

This is similar to yam, which can also be propagated with rhizomes and yam beans, but if you propagate with rhizomes, you can harvest it in the same year, but if you propagate with seeds, it will not work.

When Gao Mingcheng saw Huang Jing, he was still a little excited.

They are not rich in yellow essence here, and when they are on small hills, they have hardly seen yellow essence, but the reputation of yellow essence is still quite loud, and there is a saying that the essence of sesame grass.

There are also many ways to take it, which can be combined with other herbs and used as sake brewing, or stewed meat and chicken.

Yellow essence is also known as wild ginger, in ancient times, it can also be used as a grass to save the wilderness, after nine steaming and nine exposure, it becomes a substitute food.

Nine steamed and nine exposed operation is very troublesome, in fact, many people in mountainous areas often take it as a vegetable to eat, because its rhizome shape is like a potato, its fleshy rhizome is thick, contains a lot of starch, sugar and other nutrients, can be eaten raw, can also be stewed and eaten, has the purpose of fitness, can make people grow strength.

Therefore, the people in the mountainous areas are very fond of eating yellow essence.

In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng also often ate it, this thing is not only good for the body, but also has a good taste, so it is quite popular.

Since he had encountered it, he couldn't miss it, so he started to collect yellow essence berries, which contained five or six seeds that could be used for planting.

Yes, Gao Mingcheng plans to grow a batch of yellow essence by himself, even if he hasn't encountered it before, since he has encountered it, then it means that it is still suitable for the growth of yellow essence, so it can be mass-produced

The distribution of Polygonatum polygonatum is not extensive, but it is not small, and many provinces have output, as long as the geographical location is suitable, it can also be cultivated artificially.

After collecting all the black berries, the next step is to dig up the roots. The rhizome of Polygonatum polygonatum is more like ginger, it is section by section, if it is propagated by rhizome, then this rhizome is cut into several sections, and then each section has the appearance of three or four sections.

And it can be planted in late autumn and early spring.

After digging up these yellow essences, Gao Mingcheng found some more nearby. Because it can be propagated by seeds, most of them will not exist alone, as long as there is one plant, then look carefully in the vicinity, and you will definitely be able to find others.

But it may not be, because the conditions for seed propagation are harsh, so the germination rate is not high.

Looking at the yellow essence dug out, Gao Mingcheng's face was solemn, he knew that one of their chickens was going to be unlucky, because for chickens, yellow essence is poisonous, and a meal poisons a chicken!

The stewed chicken with yellow essence is so delicious!

Just thinking about the delicacy of yellow essence stewed chicken, Gao Mingcheng's ears moved slightly, and his eyes followed the prestige and found traces of a group of pheasants.

Well, the chickens in his house were saved!

Gao Mingcheng took out the knife he was carrying, aimed at one of the chickens from a distance, and the moment the flying knife came out of his hand, the target chicken fell in response.

Immediately afterwards, another throwing knife was thrown away, killing the pheasants before they were frightened, and the other pheasants, sensing the danger, had already fled.

I haven't hunted for a while recently, with these unexpected gains, Gao Mingcheng was quite happy, walked over to pick up the killed pheasant, this bend, and found that there was a squirming movement in the grass nearby, among which there was a snake tail disappearing rapidly, and under careful identification, Gao Mingcheng recognized that it should be a black snake.

The black snake is widely distributed in China, and it is also a large amount of medicinal materials that are blindly purchased, and Gao Mingcheng planned to catch a batch of black snakes this year and sell them.

But the snake has slipped away, and Gao Mingcheng naturally forgets it.

It's just that in the next search process, in addition to keeping his eyes on the ground, he will also observe the branches near the water from time to time.

The snake likes to eat frogs, fish, loaches, yellow eels, rats and other foods, so it often appears near the water, and it also likes to climb tree branches and often hang on trees.

Although the black snake is fast, quick to react, and good at escaping. But it has a very docile personality and generally does not bite, of course, when it is in a hurry and when it is frightened, it will also bite as a last resort.

But even if it is bitten, it is not much of a problem because it is a non-venomous snake.

Because of its medicinal value and non-toxicity, the black snake was caught in large quantities, and in later generations, the number of wild animals was greatly reduced, and there was a tendency to mix into protected animals.

However, at this time, in the mountains and fields, you can often see black snakes.

If you look closely, you can see that the black snake often crawls under the ridges on the inside of the paddy fields, and can also be seen near vegetable patches and ditches.

Some people in the village who are not afraid of snakes will specially catch and eat, or use it for soaking in wine, or stew and eat it, and the taste is quite good.
