Jiayi cleaned up the kitchen, filled some in a bowl, and sent the medicine over.

No matter what he eats, he always has to send some old ones to do, but there aren't many opportunities for unexpected snacks like this. The oil for Jiayi's fried bee pupae is still taken from Yao Lao. Although he cooks better, he uses much more oil than his mother Erica, and there is only a little oil left at the bottom of the tank.

Fortunately, there is still Yao Lao, he has never cooked since he accepted Jiayi as a student, and the remaining ingredients at home have been taken away and eaten by Jiayi. Yao Lao saw that he was using oil more fiercely, so he went to buy a jar and came back.

Although Jia Yi has not been a teacher for a few months, he has already done well. Although Yao Lao has few words, he still has a very good heart, plus Jia Yi is smart and well-behaved, and he cooks good food, he is no different from his own family in Yao's hometown, or it may be that Yao Lao has been lonely as an empty nester for too long.

Of course, Jia Yi didn't do anything excessive, no matter what he used, he would greet Yao Lao, except for the oil, rice and noodles for cooking. Although Yao Lao sees a doctor and prescribes medicines, he still has income from selling medicinal materials, and he rarely spends anything, so he is much richer than other people in the village, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in Duomu Village.

"Teacher, let's go and smash a hornet's nest, a very large hornet's nest, and get some bee chrysalis, you can taste it. ”

"Oh, yes, the hornet's pupae are a good thing, we don't eat much here, and many people in the provincial capital like to eat it. And the bee pupae of the hornets are much better than those of the bees. ”

"Why?"

"Because wasps are more dangerous, more venomous, and rarer. ”

"Hornet pupae can be poisoned, reduce swelling, and eating often can reduce the pain, which is much better than honey. And it can be strong... Ahem!" Yao Lao suddenly remembered something, and stopped coughing.

"Teacher, what's strong?"

"It's nothing, you don't need it when you're young anyway. ”

"Oh, teacher, you know so much, you know everything. "Jia Yi has started the disgusting mode of selling cuteness, don't say it, Yao Lao still eats this set.

It's a pity.,Jia can't use it when he's young.,Can you still use it when you're so old?

This fried bee pupa is crispy and crispy, and it is just right to serve wine, Jia Yi saw that Yao Lao liked this bee chrysalis very much, and went to the basement to get a bowl of wine and came back to give Yao Lao.

Yao Lao was really happy to see him so good, although he didn't say anything.

For the time being, Kasaichi had only seen ale wine here, and there were other liquors for sale in the tavern, but he had never seen them. This ale is similar to beer, but it doesn't seem to have hops, no bitterness, a little sweet, some kvass flavor, but with a sour taste, especially if it is left for a long time, it is more likely to sour and deteriorate, and finally, there are no bubbles.

There are so many barrels of ale wine in the basement of Yao's hometown, and Yaolao will occasionally drink a little. He bought the wine, not made it himself. Jiayi has also drunk some, but after drinking it once, I can understand the sweetness, and I like it, but what is the vinegar smell, and there are some other strange smells.

Recently, Jiayi was short of money, and he also thought about selling some distilled spirits, but the risk was too great, and there was no start-up capital. Ordinary beer is only 3 or 4 degrees, distilled into 30 degrees of medium liquor, counting the loss, I am afraid that it takes more than 10 catties of beer to get a catty of distilled spirit, and the boiling point of vinegar is also low, I am afraid that the steamed wine also has a sour taste.

When you have money, you can steam a little and taste it yourself. This is like saying that when you have money, drink soy milk and pour a bowl.

I don't know what this beer is when it is steamed, rice wine and rice wine are steamed out of white wine, sugar cane wine is steamed out of whiskey, wine is steamed out of brandy, is there any beer that has been distilled? Or is it that the high-grade wine is made of barley malt?

Yao Lao poured himself a drink here, and Jia Yi went to the study to find a book to read.

After a few months of literacy, Jia Yi was already able to read some simple texts, and if there was anything he didn't know, he would ask Yao Lao for advice. After all, it is equivalent to learning pinyin, and you can basically read the annotation book with pinyin. And the text of this world is pinyin script, which is relatively quick to learn, but it is easy to make mistakes if you just write.

And so the day passed.

.............

In the next few days, Jiayi still took the time to go out to look for mines, but the progress was not much, mainly because he could not go deeper, and because he was stung by a wasp, his family's concerns were also relatively large.

However, a few friends really hope to encounter the hornet's nest again, but they are really aroused by the fried bee chrysalis. As far as the economic situation of Tamu Village is concerned, it is difficult to have a delicacy that beats the fried bee chrysalis.

After Yao Lao knew that Jia Yi had always asked for leave to go out to find salt in the past two days, he specially asked Jia Yi to ask and reminded him that this mineral salt was not edible. After knowing that Jiayi understood this, he proposed to take him into the mountains with him, teach him the skill of collecting medicine, and practice it in the field.

The two of them set off after breakfast in the morning, all the way into the mountains, and the medicine elder told him about the herbs he saw on the road, what should be picked leaves, what branches should be picked, what roots should be picked, what hot medicinal materials can be picked, how to pick to maximize the effect, how to temporarily store the freshly picked medicinal materials, and so on.

The two of them didn't go fast, it was almost noon, and the two didn't go far, but they had already entered the mountain, and at this time there was no path, so they could only use a knife to split a road, but this old and old, small, even the road was difficult, but fortunately, Yao Lao was experienced and could always know how to go.

"Kaichi, stop and see what's nearby. ”

Jia Yi listened to Yao Lao's words one by one and knew that the time had come to test himself. With wide eyes, he searched the neighborhood carefully.

Although Yao Lao always said that no matter what grass can be used in medicine, it is only a matter of the size of the effect and whether it will be used, but the value of medicinal materials is large and small, and it is impossible to pick all the things you see when you come out to pick them, and you must choose those with relatively large value, easier to sell or lack of yourself.

Filtered in this way, there are a lot fewer options to choose from, because Yao Lao did not clearly state it, so Jia Yi picked all the medicinal materials that he thought were more valuable. But the value of these herbs is not great, but it is better than nothing, and I always feel that the medicine is not referring to this.

Jia Yi carefully recalled the place where Yao Lao looked when he stopped himself, and followed the direction in his memory, looking at a tree, he had already checked near that tree, and there was nothing.

He walked around again to see if he had missed anything. Suddenly, he saw a piece of grass that seemed to be different from what he had imagined, he thought it was a weed whose name he didn't even know, but when he looked at it, it seemed different. He thought about it, and definitely dug it out first, and then said, there was a mistake in digging, didn't you let it go.

He was about to do it, when Yao Lao's voice came: "Okay, don't do it, I'll dig it." ”

"Ah, teacher, what kind of herb is this? ”

"Well, it's okay, although it took a little longer, but I finally found it, this is three-striped grass, which is a relatively precious herb, which can strengthen the body, and the treatment can also replenish vitality, suitable for post-injury or postpartum use. ”

"This is the three-striped grass, we usually use roots, and we haven't seen anything alive yet, so it turns out to be like this. ”

"Yes, the roots of the three-striped grass grow irregularly, some straight downward, some do stretch horizontally, and if you are not careful, it can easily be cut off. It is best to stick to the roots, carefully dig out, follow the roots of the herbs, and it is best to dig directly by hand to be more sure. ”

Yao Lao said as he moved, although he was old, his hands were still flexible, and he quickly dug out the three-striped grass.

"This grass is prone to damage or loss of water, so it should be wrapped in fresh moss and fixed in the medicine basket. ”

"Got it, teacher, you're so amazing, you found it so easily, I still looked for a long time to find out. ”

"You can practice it slowly, you've done well. ”

After picking the three-striped grass, Yao Lao took Jia Yi to continue walking, and soon, he came to a mountain cliff, the cliff is not high, only about 20 meters, Yao Lao pointed to the white part under the cliff and said: "Na, then there is a salt mine below." ”
