Chapter 21: Changing the World, the Mountains and Wilderness Are Fun (Part II)
Vegetables occupy an important position in the diet of the Song people, and they are called "vegetables are sub-grains". In the Song Dynasty, the variety of vegetables was already very abundant.
At this time, the Lin'an of Liangzhejiang Road, the vegetable varieties are moss, dwarf yellow, large tomato, small tomato, yellow bud, mustard, lettuce, Boleng (spinach), lettuce, bitter, ginger, green onion, shallot, leek, garlic, small garlic, eggplant, shooter, cucumber, winter melon, gourd, gourd, taro, yam, burdock, radish, manna seed, coconut white, fern, celery, fungus and so on.
There is a lot of variety, and it is natural and comfortable to eat.
Seeing this, the children immediately helped to carry the stool and serve the bowl, pour the oil and make the sauce, and they were very skillful. Since this kind of copper hot pot spread in Lu Xihua's hands, the hunters in the mountains loved it very much, and after they had money in their hands, they went down the mountain and asked someone to imitate a few with white iron sheets, which could naturally be eaten at home.
Everything is ready, everyone eats naturally, the big cat has been eating outside by himself recently, this herring is not enough for it to stuff between its teeth, so it didn't come over.
"Uncle, you still eat the pepper well, and your aunt refuses to put it more at home, but Daddy eats it comfortably. Wang Jialang picked up a piece of fish and scalded it in a boiling copper pot, and then put it in his brother's sauce plate, and then he picked up a few pieces again and prepared to eat them himself. Lu Xihua cut the fish fillet very thinly, put it in a pot and boil it to eat.
"Yes, yes, I don't eat lunch at home, only Uncle eats here. My father and mother all said that Uncle was a weird person. The eldest lady pursed her mouth and drank the soup in small sips, Lu Xihua's soup base is the best white soup boiled out of beef bones and pork bones, adding tomatoes and onions to enhance the flavor, which is very delicious.
Peppers, onions in the Song Dynasty originally did not have, but also brought by Lu Xihua, peppers are fresh and spicy and appetizing, onions are sweet and crisp and delicious, some people are particularly fond of them, and now there are many plantings in the farmland under the mountain.
Lu Xihua said with a smile, "Let's use a bamboo tube, put more, eat more chicken gizzards and chicken livers, it will be good for you." "Although it is a bamboo tube, it is made of bamboo chips, and the upper round and lower tips also have handles, which is similar to a modern steel spoon. He turned his head again and asked, "How is the eldest lady's family lately?"
"Daddy said that Auntie has it, and is going to add a younger brother to us, the road on the mountain is slippery, and it is inconvenient to come and go, so Daddy is ready to move to the town under the mountain, let's ask Auntie if he is willing to go down together. ”
"Brother Wang is also going down?" Lu Xihua asked with a smile.
The eldest man of the Wang family and the second lang nodded in unison, "Daddy said, now that the family has money, he is going to ask us to ask a gentleman to read and write, and he will be a scholar in the future." ”
"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad. ”
"Is Uncle going to town with you?" Erlang asked eagerly with a few small teeth, his eyes open, and he asked eagerly.
"If I don't go, I'll be free and happy in this mountain. Besides, I'm leaving, what about the big cat?" Lu Xihua nodded and slept on the grass, sniffing the big cat in the air from time to time.
Erlang nodded sensibly, "That's right, Huahua is so beautiful, those people under the mountain must want to catch it and present it to the official family." ”
Da Lang also echoed on the side, "Yes, who called this world an official family, all good things should be dedicated to the official family." ”
Lu Xihua muttered, "Yes, this world belongs to this official's family." ”
After lunch, the four little people slept on the chaise longue made by Lu Xihua, and Lu Xihua came to the backyard to look at his herbs.
When I came to this world, I don't know why, but the progress of cultivation was very fast. All kinds of herbs from the last year can be found in the mountains and wilderness, and in the past four years, the Arhat has become close to Dacheng, but it has always been unable to break through, for some reason.
Picking the stars and taking the moon is a kind of supernatural power, there are no moves, you can only see how the learner uses it. It's as if someone can use iron to make armor and weapons, while someone can use iron to make machines instead of human work. Different experiences, different learnings, and different cultural backgrounds have resulted in different ways of using the same substance.
Lu Xihua discovered a way to use the moon magic power of picking stars, purifying. It's not completely purifying, he can now extract the spiritual liquid full of life energy from the heaven and earth to water the medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials have a great effect; he can also extract the heat in the heaven and the earth to make the condensation water into ice and finger wood as a torch; he can also directly grab the desired substance from the ore to achieve the effect of purification, although the amount is not large, and the scope is not large, but Lu Xihua believes that one day, he will find a way of his own.
In the acre of soil in the backyard, densely planted with herbs: ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflori, snow lotus, yellow essence, gastrodia... Regardless of their previous growth environment, but in this small courtyard they grow luxuriant branches and large rhizomes, and the big cat picks those ripe herbs and chews them when they have nothing to do, and the more their fur shines.
Lu Xihua stood still with his feet in the backyard, holding his breath and concentrating, a light wheel faintly appeared behind his bare head. After a moment, his right hand was raised upward, and he saw a slight crackling sound in the sky above the medicine field, and a glimmer of light flew from the mountain springs, rocks, cliffs, woods, and even the sky. At this moment, the world around this small courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the sound and light seemed to lose their color at this time.
I saw these glows kneaded together more than ten meters above the medicine field, and slowly saw the cyan clouds that turned into an acre square, covering the medicine field steadily. In the blink of an eye, the hidden thunder rolled among the green clouds, and there were five-colored lightning shuttling between them, and the green clouds accumulated more and more, and the cyan became heavier and heavier.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Xihua changed his right hand to grasp, and his five fingers were lightly grasped, only to hear a slight click, a lightning bolt crossed it, and the colorless dew condensed among the clouds, cracked, and began to fall. Seeing this scene, Lu Xihua gathered his fists and stood still, watching carefully from the side.
These qionglu fell on the medicinal herbs, between the branches and leaves, and in the cracks of the soil, and were absorbed in an instant, and the herbs swayed happily in this spiritual rain, and finally a faint white gas rose on the surface of the leaves, and a medicinal field seemed to be enveloped in a thin white mist.
The spiritual rain came and went quickly, and it stopped in half a minute, and the green clouds immediately turned into a glow and dispersed, and this side of the world came alive again, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, returning to nature. The faint white mist shrouded in the medicine field also dissipated in the sun, but the medicinal materials in the garden visible to the naked eye became more and more fragrant.
The big cat was already greedy on the side, and when he saw Lu Xihua nodding, he couldn't wait to rush to the medicine garden. When he got closer, he was cautious, and one claw and one tail slowly landed in the gap between the medicinal herbs. The big cat's nose sniffed carefully among the branches and leaves, and after a while, he picked one of his most satisfying, the big leopard claws carefully cut the soil, and took it out with his mouth. The leopard bowed its body and kicked its hind legs, that is, fifty or sixty meters, and it was out of the medicine garden in two or three clicks.
The big cat's mouth is a water-blue Ganoderma lucidum, the wide fungus cap is like a canopy, layer upon layer, the umbrella handle is like jade, there is a trace of gold thread mixed in it, the water-blue mushroom cap is like a clear spring at a glance, refreshing people's spleen.
The big cat licked the lingzhi a few times with its tongue, squinted its eyes, seemed to be reminiscing about the taste of the lingzhi, suddenly opened its mouth, swallowed the small pot-sized lingzhi in two bites, and then stretched out its tongue and licked its lips, stood up on all fours, and ran towards the mountains. This kid doesn't know where to go to digest Ganoderma lucidum, and he often doesn't go home recently.
Lu Xihua smiled and shook his head, ready to go back to the house to pack up his things, take some medicinal materials and animal skins to sell in Lin'an City, and then take a stroll by the way to see what to buy, after all, many things are inconvenient between the mountains and fields.
