The bought lady will farm

Chapter 13
Li Hongmei, who traveled from modern times, does not think that a family without a man cannot survive.

In modern times, so many women take on the responsibility of supporting their families and taking care of children. Now she is in charge of a wounded patient, so why not.Yeah, I really don't think it's a big deal.

With her calm performance, the Zhao family felt much more at ease.This night, everyone is safe and sound.It was not until midnight that Zhao Dashan moaned and asked for water.

In a daze, he fed him some water, and another bowl of porridge that Erya had boiled there earlier, and Zhao Dashan fell asleep again.

At dawn the next day, Li Hongmei got out of bed.

To survive now, you have to support yourself, so there is no need to sleep in or something.

After getting up, I went to see Zhao Dashan.
"It's not very good. He actually has a fever at this moment. The most taboo thing for injured patients is high fever. It seems that he has to be given medicine to reduce his fever."

As a matter of urgency, antipyretics must be taken.

Frowning, Li Hongmei got up to look for Erya.

"Get medicine... But the family has no money... What should I do?" The second girl became anxious when she heard this.

Well, I spent all my money last time, so I'm in big trouble now.There is such a patient at home!No wonder modern people like to save a little extra money there.In order to prevent accidents, in the future, it is necessary to deposit a little money in hand, otherwise it is really unreliable in case of emergencies.

Li Hongmei is entangled.

"Erya, listen to me, the fever must subside, otherwise the mountain will not be able to survive. Well, can you borrow the money?"

Er Ya'er lowered her head sadly, "I can't borrow it, unless... I will find the man who took us to the market that day. For the sake of my brother, I, I will go find him."

Thinking of that man's high-spirited appearance, how could Li Hongmei want her slick and vigorous girl to find him.If you find him, needless to say, this marriage will be considered a success.

"Don't, don't, don't go, let's think of a way. If it doesn't work, I can only use my local method. Erya, tell your mother that you must wipe Dashan's body with cold water today. Also, can you find pears?"

This season is the time for pears. If you are lucky, you may be able to find pears.

"Well, there seems to be some." Er Ya'er tilted her head and thought for a while, even if she didn't have one at home, it should be okay to ask Xiao San'er to go to someone else's house to exchange some pears.

"Listen to me now, after a while you will ask my mother to wipe Dashan's forehead, armpits and limbs to reduce fever. It is best to find some wine to wipe his limbs and forehead. When he is awake, feed him rock candy Stewed pears. Thanks to the rock sugar we bought this time, it just came in handy."

Li Hongmei caressed her forehead, walked two steps, and thought of some folk prescriptions, "Also, you can find some radish, break it up, and use its juice to feed Dashan to drink, that is also very good for reducing fever and inflammation." Things. Okay, that’s all for now, I’ll go up the mountain to find a way to make money. It’s not a good idea for us to go around the mountain, so we can only split up, understand?”

Er Ya'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded affirmatively when she raised her head again, "Sister-in-law, I understand."

After giving all instructions, Li Hongmei went up the mountain with knives and baskets on her back.

She didn't take a closer look at the mountain area yesterday, and she must find some ways to get rich today.Otherwise, this family is really finished.

After Er Ya'er told Mother Zhao what Li Hongmei said, both mother and daughter sighed. "Listen to her orders and do things, I... believe that she really wants to stay."

In fact, both of them were a little worried in their hearts, fearing that Li Hongmei would not come back once she left, but just like Zhao's mother said, things are like this now, is it worth worrying?If you want to run, you are worried that she will have to run too.

"Sister-in-law, do you go up the mountain alone, or wait until I find the pears and wine, and let's go up the mountain together?" Before leaving, Erya begged pitifully.

"Don't tell me, we have a lot of things to do at home. From today on, all the things will be shared. Well, my sister-in-law knows it's safe, and I'll be back after a while."

After patting Xiao Nizi's face, Li Hongmei walked up the mountain very manly.

This time, she went up the mountain alone, and she didn't dare to go too deep.

Just trying my luck out there to see if I can pick up some leaks or something.

To put it bluntly, there are many mountains and plains, wild grass and wild trees, but it is difficult for you to find something to make a fortune from.

After climbing two mountains, I only dug up some wild orchids and medicinal herbs.

"Stand on the top and see if there is anything down there. Well, it's really...how can you be so poor?"

Li Hongmei shook her head, these ancient days were really difficult.

Who said time-traveling girls have golden fingers everywhere, for example, she is now poor, poor, and poor.

Standing on the top of the mountain, wiping sweat, looking at the distant scenery.This ancient sky was indeed clean and bright.However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot be eaten as a meal.

After pouring some water from the bamboo tube she brought, Li Hongmei prepared to go down the mountain.

"Hey, what is this?"

On the top of the hill, some low trees caught her attention.These are actually tea trees.At this time, there are many small fruits under the tea tree.This kind of fruit, if possible, can actually be used to extract tea oil.

"This, this is really a good thing, but why hasn't it been developed. Extracting oil juice, this method is not very useful now."

I have filtered several versions of the method of extracting fruit oil in my mind, but in the end I found that without tools, I just think about it.More importantly, the current conditions do not allow her to learn how to extract oil.

"This method can be kept for later use. I have to write it down in the future. There are wild tea leaves in this piece."

This time, the tea leaves that were accidentally discovered caught Li Hongmei's attention.Perhaps, there are some wild fruits that can actually be squeezed for oil.

Earlier, when I went to the market, I also learned about the problems of people's livelihood.I found that many of the oils here are mostly lard suet.As for the oil next to it, it is almost tung oil for lighting the lamp.Li Hongmei also knows that kind of oil, it is a kind of existence that is easy to burn even if it is the core of the fruit after the skin is smashed.

In this countryside, one of the ways for many children in the mountains to earn pocket money is to beat tung seeds and sell them in the oil workshop for money.

That kind of tung tree is planted by many families just to exchange for two coins.As for the tung trees in the wild, under almost every tree, the grass leaves have been trampled flat.It can be seen that for the sake of pocket money, many people are also fighting hard.

"Don't even think about tung fruit. The ancient people, once they knew that something could make money, they would work hard."

Sighing, Li Hongmei went down the mountain in disappointment.It may be that the spirit is not as good as when I came here, so when I was going downhill, I accidentally fell down.

"what……"

It rolled towards the foot of the mountain, until it hit heavily in a pile of grass. Fortunately, although it fell, the grass was thick when it fell down the hillside, so it didn't hurt.It's just that there are many small cuts on the face and hands.

Crying without tears, she pulled a clump of grass and crawled up. The hard object in her hand made her take another look.

Looking at it, "Ah, this is? This is actually wild pepper, which is the wild pepper I have in modern times. This, this, this can be made into chili sauce, and it can also be made into chicken feet with pickled peppers. No, The chicken feet here are not easy to buy. People who kill chickens don’t sell them separately. They can only make chili sauce. People in this place are cold and humid. If you eat this kind of chili sauce, it will definitely open up the market Yes. Haha, that’s all. Whether you can make a fortune during this period of time depends entirely on this thing.”

The wild peppers on the hillside in front of me are all treasures.

Thinking that if these are made into chili sauce, it will be all money. Under such motivation, Li Hongmei is full of energy.

Happily picking a basket of peppers and humming a little tune, Li Hongmei ended her trip to the mountain.

Looking at the sky, hugging her hungry and deflated stomach, Li Hongmei missed the food made by the little erya very much.Even if she was given a cow at this moment, she could still eat it.

I don't know if it's because of luck, but when I returned, I accidentally found a bunch of wild fungi.This kind of mountain bait fungus with slightly small flowers, although the number of flowers is small, is also extremely delicious.This kind of thing is much better than eating wild vegetables.

"Haha, pick it up, let the little girl make soup at night, it's a delicious dish."

Like getting a big baby, Li Hongmei happily picked wild mushrooms.

Because when I returned, I didn’t take the original path, but walked along the foot of the mountain to the village. Therefore, there will still be some unexpected things discovered along this route.This is also the best route Li Hongmei designed for herself when she entered the mountain early in the morning.

"There are also wild bamboos. These are actually treasures. If you can weave, this bamboo can be exchanged for money. However, Zhao Dashan looks like he can't weave. As for these bamboo shoots, they can be pickled into kimchi, or You can boil it in salt water, soak it in a jar, and sell it as an off-season vegetable when there are no such bamboo shoots. Sigh, these are just ideas, why is there no project that can quickly collect funds?"

Sigh, still sigh.

A basket of chili peppers weighs tens of kilograms, which is not a difficult weight in normal times.However, for Li Hongmei who is so hungry, this weight is really heavy.

Especially for her who was not used to climbing the hillside, she was even more sad at the moment.On the head, the sun is too poisonous, Li Hongmei misses Xiaoerniu, that vigorous girl very much.

In this trance, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

Looking up, Li Hongmei was so excited when she saw the little second girl running towards her with big strides in the distance.

"Erya, hurry up, sister-in-law, I'm so hungry."

Erya looked at her with slightly damp eyes, showing a big smile, "Sister-in-law, it's good to see you." She really thought that the reason why sister-in-law didn't come back after lunch was because she disappeared and never came back again. Woolen cloth.But now it seems that everything is just her random guess.

"Hey, Erya, I didn't expect you to think me so good in this short period of time. It seems that my sister-in-law's charm is really endless. Hurry up and give me something to eat."

"Here, it's prepared for you." Erya hurriedly stuffed the food into her hand.

Li Hongmei took the fried hard pancake, and now, even the hard pancake felt extremely delicious.

After eating, my aunt and sister-in-law walked along the river below the mountain when they started on the road again.

"My brother only has a low-grade fever now, and it's not that scary. My mother said that as long as the two people don't have a high fever anymore, he should be fine when he wakes up. However, the medicine should still be taken..."

Mentioning this matter, Er Ya'er's big eyes were filled with anxiety.If the eldest brother's leg does not take medicine, I am afraid that it will be 100% disabled.

"It will pass, Erniu, is the water in this river drinkable?"

The pancakes were too dry, and the water he brought was all gone. Li Hongmei just wanted to drink water at the moment.

"It's also possible, but you have to drink it in a place with clear spring water, or the surrounding places have been ruined, and it's unhygienic to drink."

Er Ya complied, and brought Li Hongmei to the place where the river was flooded.That water is really sweet.Li Hongmei sighed while drinking the water and looking at the fish swimming not far away, "Tell me, if we catch more fish in this river, wouldn't we be rich?"

"Pfft, sister-in-law, there is such a good thing. The fish in this river are caught by the little ones every day. Alas, there are not many big ones. What about the frog cloth next to it? There are quite a few screws and the like, but unfortunately, these cannot be exchanged for money!"

Er Ya'er also sighed, when the family was in short supply of money, they couldn't come up with any money.She was so worried that she wanted to find the man who stared at her. Perhaps, it would be good to exchange her future for the happiness and well-being of her elder brother...

"Erya, you, what did you just say?" Li Hongmei, who had been struggling to find a way to make a fortune, heard what Erya said, but her eyes lit up, and she grabbed her excitedly and asked after her.
