My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 12 Wild Garlic
Where is there any fruit for them to pick at the foot of this mountain?What can be eaten has long been picked up by the children in the village!

If you want to find it, you have to go into the mountains, but this is an ancient primitive mountain forest, so you might encounter wild boars and tigers.

Their grandparents and grandchildren, the old and the young, dare not make trouble.

"Hey, nothing."

Seeing the little man sigh, Wang Xiujuan couldn't help laughing, "Don't you look at how many people have been here, are there any good things waiting for you?" She is not as soft and sticky as she was when she was a child, so she has to find a way to mend it, so that her little granddaughter becomes as white and tender as modern times when she was a child.

"I don't want to try my luck. Don't you think it's also luck that we can come here?"

"Wait. Milk! What do you think it is?" Ning Qingxi pointed to a small bush not far away.

"Huh?" Wang Xiujuan looked in the direction of her granddaughter's finger, the two of them approached and squatted down, and Wang Xiujuan came closer to smell it.

Isn't that wild garlic?

Wang Xiujuan pulled up the wild garlic with her hands, and the root was a garlic head covered with dirt.

"Come on, Xixi, let's dig up all these wild garlics and see if we can plant some in the yard when we go home. It can also be used to spice up the cooking."

"Grandma, we don't even have oil, and we don't know how to eat garlic sprouts."

"Look at what you said, can we still live in such misery? When our family saves up the money for the corvee, grandma will go back to her old business and make money for you to buy meat and delicious food!" Wang Xiujuan was heartbroken by the first delivery order yesterday. Got some ideas.

She may not be able to make much money just by delivering babies, but she can treat women in the village!As an obstetrician and gynecologist, she expressed concern about the sanitary conditions of ancient women.

In ancient times, most of the doctors were men. Even if a woman had any illness, she could only bear it by herself. She felt that there was still some market for her.

But there is a problem, the ancient conditions were limited, she can only cure some common diseases, and she has no medicine yet!There was no western medicine in ancient times, and Wang Xiujuan, a traditional Chinese medicine, knew nothing about it.

I have to ask my granddaughter to look up the encyclopedia to see if there are any alternative Chinese herbal medicines in ancient times.

The two met Li Dafeng with a basket of wild garlic, and the other party was talking to a woman in the village.Seeing Wang Xiujuan and the others approaching, Li Dafeng took the initiative to stop.Say hello to the other party and come to Wang Xiujuan's side.

"Ah, Xixi. Why do you pick so much wild garlic? It doesn't taste good when cooked." Li Dafeng thought that Ning Qingxi didn't know him before picking it.

"I'm useful. I'll take it back and plant it in the yard. Maybe I can use it for cooking in the future."

"Okay, mother, I can plant it. I'll plant it for you when I go back, and you can keep it alive!" Since it was the mother-in-law who spoke, Li Dafeng could only listen obediently.

Li Dafeng wanted to take the bamboo basket and carry it by himself, but Wang Xiujuan refused, this thing is not heavy, and Li Dafeng himself still has a full basket.

At first, Wang Xiujuan thought it was because these people didn't know how to cook and didn't know how to use wild garlic as a seasoning. On the way, she planned to remind Li Dafeng a few words so that her food would not be so unpalatable in the future.

Li Dafeng only found out after asking.People know that wild garlic can be seasoned, so they don't use it on purpose!

Wang Xiujuan was puzzled and asked her why.

"Why do you make such delicious food? When the time comes when the family doesn't have enough food, what can we do?" Li Dafeng looked very proud that he knew how to live a good life.

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi choked for this reason and didn't know what to say.

When I got home, Wang Xiujuan didn't need to do anything, Li Dafeng neatly put the things back together, and then carried a hoe to transplant the wild onions to a field in the front yard.

……

Ning Changrong took advantage of the lunch break to find shopkeeper Lin to inquire about things.

"Shopkeeper, you welcome and deliver, have you heard of Si?"

Shopkeeper Lin was surprised, "Song? How do you know this dish?"

After listening to shopkeeper Lin introduce Ning Changrong, it became clear that Siong, the modern Chinese cabbage, was eaten by more people in the south at this time, but not many people in the north knew it.

Taixi County is located in the north, and except for rich officials and eunuchs, there are very few people planting this land.

Ordinary people have never even heard of it.

"If you want to buy seeds and grow them yourself, you can go to Changyuan Commercial Firm to inquire about them. It is the largest commercial firm in our Taixi County. If there are no seeds there, you probably won't be able to find them in the entire Taixi County."

"This kind of seed is not cheap, Changrong, will you grow it yourself when you buy it?"

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I will definitely ask first."

Shopkeeper Lin didn't say much, just clicked.

The afternoon storytelling session ended on time.

"Duan Yu thought over and over in the study room about the adventures of the past few days, and made a couple's appointment with Mu Wanqing. Unexpectedly, she was his sister. Unexpectedly, Zhong Ling was also his sister. He also thought about Murong Bo and his wife. Studying 'Lingboweibu', I wonder if it has anything to do with the fairy sister in the cave?"

……

After speaking in the afternoon session, Ning Changrong changed his clothes, avoided the audience, and sneaked out of the Shiquan Inn through the back door.

After inquiring all the way, I came to Changyuan Commercial Firm.

There was no one in the shop at this time, and the clerk was bored.

Ning Changrong went straight to the counter, "Brother, do you sell Sis seeds here?"

Seeing the guests coming in, the clerk cheered up, "Do you want to buy a satin?" He looked up and down Ning Changrong, who was dressed in a patchwork peasant man.

At the inn, shopkeeper Shulin told him to buy him a long gown, which was patchier than this one, and it was for him to hold up.

But Ning Changrong only wears it when he is telling a story, and it is more convenient for bunts on weekdays.

Ning Changrong let him look at it generously, but he didn't see the farmer's obedience, "Is it for sale? What's the price?"

His generosity and naturalness made the clerk a little embarrassed. He took out a small packet of seeds from the counter, "Yes, there are. This packet of seeds can be used to plant half an acre of land, and it costs 100 renminbi."

Too expensive, this thing is so expensive?If he was a waiter, he would only be able to buy two packs of seeds a month?
Gritting his teeth, Ning Changrong still bought it.

Of the one or two or three denarii that I earned today, I only have one or two or two denarii left.

Taking advantage of the beginning of autumn, you can breed first when you go back. If the temperature drops later, you may not be able to survive Chinese cabbage.

The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is short, and a batch can be harvested before winter if it is planted now.You can make a lot of money by eating some at home and selling them.

His mother, Wang Xiujuan, has been growing vegetables and fruits at her home since she retired, and she will have to rely on her guidance when the time comes.

……

Wang Xiujuan took the seed from Ning Changrong's hand in surprise, not even noticing the silver. "Yeah, are there really cabbage seeds? This is great. You won't have to worry about running out of vegetables in winter. We can also make some kimchi."

"This thing is precious, it's just a little bit, how much do you think?" Ning Changrong had a heartache on his face.

"How much?" How expensive can it be?
Ning Changrong raised a finger, "One hundred Wen!"

"Hiss!" Wang Xiujuan gasped.

This is really many times more expensive than modern ones.

"Mother, you have to hurry up and plant, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in winter."

"Okay, I'll start making arrangements tomorrow. Don't worry." This is a hundred words!If nothing is planted in time for winter, she will be so heartbroken!

Just do it.The next day, Wang Xiujuan directed the whole family around.
