When he arrived at the Jianzi Peak Flatland, Xiao Yong entered the land of heavenly machines, changed the clothes he had changed when he went down to the Tiankeng, and filled the basket with wild kiwifruit, mangosteen shoots, hoop leaves, morels and some Chinese medicinal herbs, and walked quickly down the mountain on his back.

When I arrived on the street of Magou Town, I picked up the express I sent back from Dayan City by the way.

It was almost dark, Xiao Yong didn't stay long, politely refused a few people on the street who wanted to ask him to buy hoop leaves and sheep peaches, and stepped up his steps to go home.

Halfway home, Xiao's mother also called Xiao Yong and asked where he went.

When I got home, the sun had already set over the mountains, and the sky was full of sunset.

Since Xiao Yong went home yesterday, everyone in Zhangjiawan has basically been at Xiao Yong's house all day today, several old people chatting with Xiao Yong's parents, and the children are playing games in front of and behind the house.

Peek-a-boo, hopscotch, rubber band-hopping......

Shortly before Xiao Yong returned, everyone dispersed.

"It's back, Brave Cub. ”

"Brother, how far have you walked, have you ever walked to Jianzi Peak?"

"Of course, I've walked to the top of the peak, by the way, Daddy, Mom, I've brought back the honey from the courier, and you can drink some later." ”

"Okay, in a city as big as Dayan City, there are still people who keep bees?" Father Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Daddy, there are also rural areas over there, otherwise how could I farm over there. ”

Xiao Yong smiled and put the full basket on the ground.

"Brother, have you dug up gastrodia? What are these, they are all traditional Chinese medicine? Why have you picked so many zongba leaves, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and my mother also said that I will buy some next time I catch the market." ”

Gastrodia is the most precious Chinese medicinal material on the old mountain, and many people in Magou Town used to go to the old mountain to find wild gastrodia for money.

Wild gastrodia, after drying, can be sold for hundreds of yuan a catty.

"Yes, there's a lot of sheep and peaches down there. ”

Xiao Yong put the courier box containing honey on the table, and then removed the leaves that were placed on the top of the basket.

"Yongcub, you have good luck this trip, you have dug so many gastrodia, are there so many wild gastrodia on the old mountain now?"

Xiao's mother brought a basin of washing water, patted some dust on Xiao Yong's body, and checked whether Xiao Yong's hands and legs were injured.

"Wash your face and boil some water in the evening. ”

"Mom, I'll just come by myself. The gastrodia on the old mountain was dug too hard a few years ago, and no one has dug some in recent years, but there are not many. ”

Xiao Yong took the basin, brought it to the dam outside the house, poured water on it and washed his hands, then took a handful of water, pounced on his face, and washed away the dust he deliberately left on his face.

"So many sheep peaches, and mangosteen shoots. ”

Xiao Fang cheered from inside the house, and Xiao Yong poured the washing water into the vegetable garden outside the dam, and returned to the house with his face.

"The sheep peach vine climbs so high, brave cub, you are alone, you should not climb up to pick it. ”

"It's okay, Mom, my ability to climb trees hasn't fallen yet, I'll send some to the third grandmother later." Xiao Yong said with a smile.

"I also picked up so many morels, but unfortunately there are no ones on the street to buy this now. "Father Xiao was picking up wild mushrooms in the surrounding mountains during this time, and he naturally paid more attention to the old goat morels that Xiao Yong picked up.

"If you can't sell it, we'll eat it ourselves, Xiao Fang, you go and wash it and cook it into my stewed pig's trotters." Xiao's mother said proudly.

"I've eaten it myself, dried it, and I can still sell it next year, how can these be sold for a hundred dollars. Father Xiao muttered.

On some hillsides near Xiao Yong's house, some morels will also grow, but that is before the Qingming Festival, and it is very difficult to find.

Because of the low temperature on the old mountain, you can still find traces of morels at this time, and the old morels are different from those that grow on some slopes near Xiao Yong's house, and the color is much darker.

"Daddy, there aren't a few, if it's dried and put it for next year, maybe there will be worms, so cook it and eat it." Xiao Yong took out more than a dozen morels of different sizes from the back basket and handed them to Xiao Fang, who was holding the vegetable washing basin.

"I'll fry another green vegetable, let's eat, the brave cub ran for a day in the mountains, and he was also hungry. ”

"It's so fragrant, I'll light the fire. ”

After packing up the contents of the back basket, Father Xiao poured out some sheep peaches from the back basket, brought them to the back of the kitchen, and buried them in a Luo Dou (a container full of bamboo) filled with rice bran.

The stewed pig's trotters with radish were already stewed relatively soft, but now there are old morels in the pot, and they are boiled and simmered for a while.

Xiao Yong's stove is a typical rural firewood stove, with a total of three stoves, the largest one is used to cook pig food, the middle one is generally used to stew meat and stir-fry vegetables, and the smallest one is generally used to steam and cook firewood rice, of course, it can also be used for stir-frying.

However, rice cookers are generally used to cook rice now, so there are cured pig's trotters stewed in the middle pot, and Xiao's mother quickly fried a green vegetable in the smallest pot.

When the meal was served, Xiao Yong's family of four sat around and began to eat.

"Come, brave cub, nibble on a pig's trotter. ”

Before Xiao Yong could pick up the vegetables, his mother began to put preserved pig's trotters in Xiao Yong's bowl.

"Mom, I want it too. Xiao Fang said dissatisfiedly.

"Twist it yourself. (Twisting, meaning to pick up vegetables.) ）

"It's eccentric. ”

"Eat your meal well. ”

"Mom, I'll come by myself, come, Xiao Fang, this piece of meat has hoof tendons, you can eat it." ”

"Thank you, brother. ”

The fresh aroma of the pork trotters, accompanied by the umami of morels, and the freshness of the radish, the family had a happy dinner.

After the meal, Xiao's mother cleaned up the table, dishes and chopsticks, scooped some pig food cooked in the morning from the cauldron, mixed it with dishwashing water to feed the pigs.

Xiao Fang turned on the big-bellied color TV that was put aside and was about to watch TV, and the children in the village also finished eating, and then came to Xiao Yong's house again.

"Come, let's divide these sheep peaches, take them home and bury them in the chaff, and they will be able to eat them in a few days. Xiao Yong distributed the remaining half-basket of wild kiwifruit to the children in the village and asked them to take it home later.

"Brother Yong (uncle), are there many sheep peaches on the old mountain, shall we pick some more?" The children also had a soft spot for wild kiwifruit, and asked Xiao Yong expectantly.

"There are a lot of old mountains, but they should be left to the monkeys and birds on the mountain to eat, not more picked, we have so many sheep and peach vines on the slope of Zhangjiawan, you can go to them in the future to put some farm fertilizer, maybe you don't go to the old mountain in the future, you can pick sheep and peaches." Xiao Yong said with a smile.

"These sheep and peach vines under our mountain do not bear fruit. ”

"That's because no one grows them. ”

"There are no people on the old mountain. ”

"The sheep and peaches on the old mountain have been growing for a long time before they bear fruit. ”

......

Xiao Yong teased the children in the village, and when it was about nine o'clock in the evening, the TV series on the TV was broadcast, and the children went home one by one.

"Daddy, Mom, drink some honey water. ”

Before going to bed, Xiao Yong opened the express box, took out two jars of honey, opened one jar, scooped a small spoonful of honey from it, and rushed it into warm water for his parents to drink.

"Well, it's so sweet, you honey, it looks good. Father Xiao smiled and took the honey water brewed by Xiao Yong and drank it all.

"Brother, I want to drink it too. ”

"Okay, I'll make you a drink. This honey is so strong, you can only put a small spoonful at a time, otherwise it will be too supplemental, your body can't stand it, and you may be stunned, Daddy, Mom, you must remember it. ”

"It seems to be quite energetic, just drinking such a cup, I feel hot all over. ”

"Yes, honey is working again, let's wash up and rest. ”

Xiao Yong looked at his parents who were red, scooped up water to wash their faces and feet, and asked them to wash.

"Okay, Ah Fang, don't drink too much. ”

"I've only drunk such a small glass, how can it be like wine, brother, why is your honey still intoxicating. Xiao Fang, who drank a small glass of honey water, also began to react.

"Wash your face and feet, brush your teeth and go to bed, this honey is a good thing." Xiao Yong said with a smile.

"Cub, wash up and sleep. ”

"I'm going to take a shower later, Mom, you don't have to worry about me, I'm going to prepare the medicine for Daddy's body at night and make it. ”

"That's good, but don't make it too late, no, it's the same tomorrow, ouch, I'm a little dizzy. ”

"Next time you eat honey, then put a little less, it seems that I put too much. ”

......

After the family rested and fell asleep, Xiao Yong quickly took a bath in the land of heavenly machines, selected a few Chinese medicinal materials, processed them, and refined the appropriate active ingredients, took them out, cleaned the small pot of stir-fried vegetables, and slowly boiled them according to the proportion.

This pot of refined decoction, after boiling and concentrating, is used to make a medicinal bath for Daddy.

At the same time, the refined pill that Xiao Yong named Qiangji Pill was taken out from the Land of Heavenly Machines, and tomorrow he began to let his parents take medicine to regulate their bodies.

Late at night, under the incessant cries of insects outside the house all night, Xiao Yong condensed and boiled the decoction used in the medicinal bath, put it into an empty clay jar at home, washed up a little, and returned to his room.

Leaving a small stone slab in the quilt, Xiao Yong's figure flashed and entered the land of heavenly machines.
