After Lu Zheng and the three of them arrived home, Lu Zheng did not go to rest, but looked at Li Shi and said: "Tomorrow afternoon, Mianniang and they will go into the deep mountains, and it is estimated that they will use medicine and hoes, and I will go to the blacksmith shop in the town to urge now, and see if I can beat things out today or tomorrow morning." ”

"In addition, there is no water bladder at home, you go and cut a bamboo, and when I come back from the town, I will make a few bamboo tubes for Mianniang to fill with water."

"I left a small strip of meat for the meat I bought this morning, and hung it in the well, you take it out and make it into jerky for Mianniang, and she will bring it into the mountain tomorrow."

Li nodded, "Okay." You go to town first, and go out and bring your fan and hat. ”

"yes, I know."

After Lu Zheng left, Li Shi looked down at the little guy, "Grandma will heat the medicine for you to drink, and then take you to take a nap." ”

"Okay." Zhuang Zhuang nodded obediently, he is now taking care of his body is the biggest help.

On the other side, when Tang Mian walked to Wu Yunsheng's house, Wu Yunsheng was just about to take a nap.

"Doctor Wu, I'm sorry to disturb you." Tang Mian said apologetically.

Wu Yunsheng waved his hand absently, "It's okay, I'm a doctor." ”

"You came to me at noon, but what's wrong with the little one's body?"

Tang Mian shook his head, "I have some questions that I want to ask Dr. Wu for." ”

Wu Yunsheng glanced at Tang Mian in surprise, "Come in." ”

Walking into the house, Wu Yunsheng took Tang Mian to the hall and sat down, "Mianniang, what question do you want to ask me?" ”

Tang Mian paused and said, "Doctor Wu, I want to ask you about the collection of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and dendrobium, which are precious medicinal materials. ”

"You want to go ginseng picking?" Wu Yunsheng looked at Tang Mian in surprise, "Picking ginseng generally has to go into the deep mountains, you want to go into the deep mountains?" ”

Tang Mian nodded, "I discussed with the two cousins today, and we will go into the mountains together tomorrow afternoon." ”

"You mean Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang?" Wu Yunsheng said.

If you want to go into the mountains, it is safer for these two people to follow.

Tang Mian replied, and said thoughtlessly: "I know that I need to be cautious when picking these medicinal materials, so I have the cheekiness to ask Doctor Wu." ”

Wu Yunsheng smiled, "It's okay, I'm very happy that you can ask me first." lest you do not understand and be blind to those herbs. ”

"But do you know all these herbs?"

Tang Mian nodded, "I accidentally saw the appearance of these medicinal materials in a book before, it should be no problem." ”

Wu Yunsheng: "Okay." Then I'll tell you about the points that need to be paid attention to. ”

Tang Mian straightened his body and listened carefully to what Wu Yunsheng said.

After listening, Tang Mian found that what was said in the book was a little different from real experience.

Although the difference is not significant, if the difference is not known, it is possible to destroy the quality of these herbs and thus reduce the price.

Fortunately, I came to ask Dr. Wu first!

Tang Mian secretly rejoiced.

"Thank you, Dr. Wu." Tang Mian said gratefully.

Wu Yunsheng waved his hand and added, "Mianniang, if you pick these precious medicinal materials such as ginseng this time, you can bring them to me first." If the year is short and the condition is not good, I can collect it for you. If the vintage is long and the condition is good, you can take it to the county seat and sell it. ”

Tang Mian nodded, "Okay." ”

"Dr. Wu, I would like to buy you some anti-poisonous snakes and mosquitoes and trauma medicines. If there is medicine against predators, I would like to buy some too. ”

Although the two cousins have a lot of skills, they are prepared, and it is always good to have an extra layer of security.

Wu Yunsheng agreed, "Okay." You sit down for a while, and I'll get it for you." ”

After saying that, he got up and went to the room where the medicinal herbs were stored to get the medicine.

After a while, Wu Yunsheng walked into the hall with a few medicine bottles and handed them to Tang Mian, "There are a total of four bottles of medicine, a bottle of mosquito repellent and poisonous snakes, a bottle of trauma medicine, a bottle of antidote pills, and a bottle of medicine to deal with fierce beasts." ”

"Insect repellent and snake repellent, you sprinkle it on your body, and those things will naturally be avoided. As long as it does not get wet, it can last for twelve hours. Trauma medicine, I don't need to say more, Zhi'an and they will all use it. ”

"Antidote pills are useful for the poison of poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders in general. If a poisoned person takes one pill, even if it can't be detoxified, it can delay the onset of poison. To deal with the medicine of the beast, when you use it, you can directly sprinkle the powder towards the beast, which can make the beast's movements slow down for a moment. ”

"If someone is hurt, come out quickly, and save your life." After Wu Yunsheng explained the usage of several medicines, he admonished.

Tang Mian was very grateful, "Thank you, Dr. Wu." ”

Wu Yunsheng laughed, "Don't be so polite, I also received the money." Moreover, if you take medicine and sell it to me, I will also earn money,"

"In addition, if you encounter deer in the mountains, you can hunt them, and the antler velvet is a good thing, and it can be sold at an affordable price."

Tang Mian nodded, "I understand." ”

It's just a pity that there don't seem to be deer in Qingzhu Mountain, and I haven't heard that Brother Zhi'an has hunted deer over the years. He hunted two tigers, and it seemed that they were sold for a lot of money.

"Okay, it's two hundred in total. Remember what I said, and go back and prepare. Wu Yunsheng said.

Tang Mian responded with a hello, got up and said, "Doctor Wu, I came directly from my uncle's house, and I didn't bring any money with me, I'll go home and get it for you now." ”

"Hmm." Wu Yunsheng didn't say anything.

Tang Mian took the medicine home, and was told that his father-in-law went to the blacksmith shop in the town to urge the blacksmith to make medicine and hoe, and he was slightly stunned.

Father-in-law actually thought of it, and she still thought about bothering him to go to town when he came back!

Tang Mian breathed a long sigh of relief, counted two hundred wen and sent it to Wu Yunsheng, and when he came back, he found that the Li family was cutting meat.

"Mother, what are you going to do cutting meat now, I'll help you."

Li Shi didn't raise his head and said, "I'll cut it and make jerky, and you can take it up the mountain tomorrow." It's okay, what should you do, I can do it alone. ”

Tang Mian didn't have much meat when he saw it, so he didn't force it, "Okay, I'll go and prepare something for tomorrow's entry into the mountain." ”

"Let's go!" Li urged.

Tang Mian answered, then turned around and started to prepare things.

If you want to stay in the mountains for more than two days, I'm afraid you will have to bring a pair of clothes. In addition, you must bring ropes, mallet needles for ginseng picking, and everything you brought for the previous two days.

Preparing things, Tang Mian saw that there was nothing to do, so he simply went back to the house and entered the space to read the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials".

This time, she directly turned to the chapter on precious medicinal materials, and wrote down the precious medicinal materials that she had missed before. Calculating that the time was almost up, Tang Mian left the space.

As soon as he closed his eyes and recuperated, he woke up.

The little guy was woken up by urine, and when he saw Tang Mian leaning on the chair and sleeping, he didn't call her, so he got up and got out of bed lightly, wanting to go to the thatched house to solve it.

Tang Mian didn't sleep at all, and the little guy opened his eyes when he got up, "Zhuangzhuang." ”

Zhuang Zhuang paused to put on his shoes, looked up at Tang Mian, and apologized, "Mother, I woke you up." ”

Tang Mian got up and walked towards the little guy, "It's none of your business, my mother is actually not asleep." ”

"Why don't you sleep more?" Tang Mian squatted down and put on Zhuangzhuang's shoes and said.

The little guy twisted his body and was embarrassed, "Wake up." ”

With his previous experience, Tang Mian guessed that he wanted to go to the thatched house as soon as he saw Zhuangzhuang's appearance.

"Mother will take you."

The little guy blushed, "Mother, no need, I'll go by myself." ”

After saying that, he walked out the door.

Tang Mian shook his head amusedly, and followed out the door.

At this time, the aroma of jerky has wafted far away.

Usually to make jerky, it is put in a dustpan and put to dry in the sun. Today's time is tight, and Lee's directly uses the grilled one.

Tang Mian saw that the Li family was a little too busy, so he walked over to help.

After solving the major events in his life, he saw Tang Mian and Li being busy, and he also stepped forward to help deliver the materials.

"Zhuangzhuang, don't get too close, be careful of burning you." Tang Mian said.

When the little guy heard this, he took two steps back obediently, "So that it won't be hot." ”

Li Shi and Tang Mian smiled when they saw this, "Yes." ”

As soon as the jerky was ready, there was a knock on the door.

Seeing this, Li said, "Mianniang, you go open the door, and I'll go to light the fire and prepare for dinner." ”

The unitary time is almost over.

Tang Mian answered the hello and went to open the door.

"Daddy." When I opened the door, I saw that it was Lu Zheng who shouted.

Lu Zheng raised the medicine hoe in his hand, "I asked the people in the blacksmith shop to do it in a hurry, how about you take a look?" ”

Tang Mian took the medicine hoe and looked at it, "Dad, it's good." ”

Lu Zheng nodded and stepped into the threshold, "I'll sharpen a wooden stick and embed it in the medicine hoe to make a hoe handle." ”

"Trouble daddy." Tang Mian closed the door and said with Lu Zheng's pace.

Lu Zheng smiled, "It's not troublesome." ”

"By the way, aren't you going back to your parents' house tomorrow! I'm afraid you're busy today and won't have time to prepare anything, so I'll buy some in the town in the afternoon, and you can take it with you tomorrow." Lu Zheng raised the object in his other hand and said.

Tang Mian smiled warmly, "Thank you, Dad." ”

Lu Zheng waved his hand and handed the things to Tang Mian, "You take it and put it away." ”

Tang Mian took it and said hello.

Lu Zheng turned around and found a firewood knife, went to the firewood room to find a suitable wooden stick and cut it off.

Peel off the bark, remove the burrs, polish the wooden stick smoothly, and then cut one end into a square and insert it into the medicine hoe.

Then he handed it to Tang Mian, who had put the things out, "You try the length of the hoe handle to see how much is appropriate, and I'll cut off the excess." ”

"Okay." Tang Mian took the medicine hoe and tried it, and after finding the length of his hand, he pointed to the position to Lu Zheng, "Dad, it's almost right to cut from here." ”

"Okay." Lu Zheng took it, cut off the excess in three strokes and two times, polished the broken part smoothly, and handed it to Tang Mian again, "You try again." ”

Tang Mian took it and tried the pilot head, "Dad, it's okay." ”

"Good. I'll make you some bamboo tubes and fill you with water tomorrow. After Lu Zheng entered the door, he saw the bamboo placed in the yard, picked up the firewood knife and walked over.

Looking at his father-in-law, who has been busy since he stepped into the house, Tang Mian's heart has a warm current.

Although her father and mother objected to her going into the mountains, she never objected again after she made a decision, but devoted herself to preparing things for her.

This kind of indulgence and care is what many daughters-in-law dream of.

"Dad, don't worry, you do it slowly, I'll help my mother cook dinner."

"Go ahead." Lu Zheng, who was immersed in chopping bamboo, responded.

Tang Mian glanced at it, put the medicine hoe on the wall, walked into the stove room, and saw Li Shi waving a spatula and asked, "Mother, what are you going to eat tonight?" ”

"Eat the noodle pieces. There are no leftovers at home today, and it is troublesome to cook them freshly at this time, so I grabbed some pickles and stir-fried them to boil the soup and cook the noodles. Li said as he waved his shovel.

Tang Mian nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and wrapped his clothes, "I'll knead the dough." ”

"Okay." Li Shi answered, smelling that the pickles had been fried, so he added two scoops of water to the pot, covered the lid and boiled.

After doing all this, he added two more sticks of firewood to the stove hole.

Tang Mian also took a large bowl and a small bowl to the room where the grain was stored, scooped half a bowl of white noodles into the large bowl with a small bowl, and then scooped two bowls of coarse noodles and poured them in, mixing the two flours together and adding water to knead.

When the dough is kneaded, the pickles are almost ready.

Tang Mian brought the bowl of dough to the stove, pulled a small agent and stretched it into small pieces and put it in the pot. Repeat this until you put the whole dough into the pan.

When the dough pieces are cooked, take out four bowls and scoop them out. If you can't fit in four bowls, you can put it in a big bowl.

Scoop another scoop of water and pour it into the pot, so that the pot will not be dry and difficult to wash later.

After the Li family saw that the block was boiled, he also withdrew the unburned firewood from the stove hole.

"It's time to eat." Tang Mian brought the noodles to the table and shouted.

After eating, Li drove Tang Mian out of the stove room, "You go to accompany Zhuang Zhuang to eliminate food, and you will go into the mountain for two days tomorrow!" ”

"Also, after eating, I will hurry to take a bath and sleep, and Ming'er will have to get up early to go to Da'an Village. Both of you have to raise your spirits to the fullest, and you don't have to say that I, a mother-in-law, treats you harshly. ”

Listening to Li's incessant chatter, Tang Mian smiled happily, "Mother, who doesn't know that you are a good mother-in-law, and other daughters-in-law envy me, and they are so envious that they say sour things every day." ”

Li looked at Tang Mian with a confused expression, pretending to be fierce, "You kid, you are still joking about me, why don't you go and take my eldest grandson quickly!" ”

"Yes." Tang Mian responded in a long voice, turned around and walked out of the stove room to accompany Zhuang Zhuang to eat.

After eating, he fetched water and bathed the two of them, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after eating, Tang Mian took the things Lu Zheng bought, brought the medicinal materials, and led Zhuang Zhuang back to his parents' house in the ox cart driven by Lu Zhiqiang.
