Chapter 5

Thinking about it, Su Qinghe took advantage of Su Zhian's going to the field to deliver water to his parents, and secretly took the duck eggs.Take out some ashes and bury them at the base of the wall in the yard, and remember to put tea and salt and the like.However, Su Qinghe has never made preserved eggs, and her only memory is that she asked someone to make them once when she was a child.

She only remembered that if she wanted to go faster, she had to put lime.But now she doesn't know where to get lime, so she can only make do with furnace ashes.

I remember the main things, but I don't know the ingredients and quantity at all, so I can only put them casually.If it can be done once, it will be blessed by the great god of time travel, if it can't be done once, then think of another way.

As soon as she filled the hole she dug, Su Zhian jumped in the kitchen: "Why are there two duck eggs missing? Xiao He, did a wild cat come in?"

Su Qinghe was shocked: "Wild cats can eat duck eggs?"

The corners of Su Zhian's eyes twitched, and he was a little uncertain: "Should he be able to eat it? Regardless of whether it can eat it, why are there two missing duck eggs? Xiao He, have you seen anything come in? If I catch it, I will definitely kill it." Skin it!"

Su Qinghe shrinks back: "Second brother, actually, I broke the duck egg..."

"You broke it? What's going on?" Su Zhi'an looked distressed, but the anger just now was gone. Seeing the pitiful look on the little girl's frightened face, he took a few deep breaths, and his expression became more relaxed. Anyway, that duck egg was also picked up, so it's fine if the little sister breaks it.

"I wanted to take a closer look at that duck egg, and then I accidentally dropped it on the ground." Su Qinghe blinked her eyes hard, almost cramped, but she didn't shed two tears. Su Zhian felt sorry for her sister even more, and came to hold Su Qinghe's hand Little paw, rubbing her head: "Don't be sad, if it breaks, it will break, anyway, we still have so many left."

Su Qinghe looked at Su Zhian pitifully: "Second Brother, don't you blame me?"

Su Zhian shook his head: "No wonder, duck eggs are definitely not as important as my sister. Younger sister, let's go to the mountains to pick up fruits. There are many mountain reds in the mountains. They are sweet and sour, and they are delicious." In order to comfort his sister, Su Zhian quickly changed the subject. .

Su Qinghe nodded, ran to the storage room and found two cloth bags, then followed Su Zhian up the mountain.She heard Su Zhian say that she went to play alone on the mountain, and she thought it was very strange. She felt that the family was too worried about the child. If there were any wild animals in the mountain, wouldn't the child be injured?
It was only later that she realized that this so-called mountain was not the contiguous mountain she had imagined at all, but a five or six-story hill. There were many trees growing on the mountain, but there was no forest at the bottom of the mountain.There is a road on the mountain, and after crossing this mountain, there is another village.

Surrounded by villages, where did the beasts come from on the mountain?It's rare to see even a wild rabbit, let alone a blind man or a big tiger.

The trees on the mountain grow wildly, and there are also a few fruit trees. When the fruits are ripe every year, the adults don’t join in the fun, mainly children, who will pick all the fruits on the mountain, just to taste them, and no one will use them. The fruit of this mountain makes money.

Su Qinghe followed behind Su Zhian, climbing up the mountain leisurely.The mountain road was relatively narrow, with weeds growing on both sides, and occasionally there were a few lantern fruits, Su Zhian didn't miss any of them, and picked them all up and put them in his pocket.

"Second brother, is there a pheasant on the mountain?" Su Qinghe kept taking his temperature from behind, and Su Zhian replied while looking around: "Yes, but it's rare. Do you want to catch a pheasant? The two of us can't catch it, so my father can catch it." live."

"What else is there besides Shanlihong on Erge Mountain?"

"There are still grape vines, but now there are no grapes. Don't you like jujubes the most? There are also jujube trees and plum trees, but there are probably no plums at the moment." Su Zhian introduced in detail, Su Qinghe, um, huh Ah nod.

It didn't take long to find a jujube tree, but there were no red dates on it, and the rest were green dates, which were still small and tasted sour.Su Qinghe was a little disdainful, and looked around to see if she could find anything of value.

Looking at it like this, she really saw a good thing - the vines on the ground, don't they look like yam vines?
Su Qinghe's hometown is famous for the four major medicines, and the people in his hometown basically have to allocate a few minutes for the four medicines.Su Qinghe went to the fields with her parents since she was a child, so she naturally knew the four medicines.

Because his hometown is the hometown of Huai Yao, Li Shishi, who is Huai Yao, can say a few words casually even if he is a child in his hometown.Not to mention Su Qinghe, who can almost recite it according to the Pharmacopoeia.

This kind of thing was discovered in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not called yam at that time, but yam. It was later changed to yam, and it was changed to yam in the Song Dynasty.This kind of thing has been used as medicine since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Open the cane, and sure enough, there is a layer of yam eggs under it.Su Qinghe was overjoyed, and quickly shouted: "Second brother, what is this here?"

Su Zhian came over to have a look, and picked up a yam egg: "Isn't this yam? Little sister, do you want this?"

"No, our family doesn't grow this, right?" Su Qinghe asked excitedly, Su Zhian shook his head: "No, isn't this a medicinal material? Pharmacies only have a little bit, and they can't sell it, so our family doesn't have it."

"Are there very few pharmacies?" Su Qinghe was surprised. In the past, all the pharmacies in her hometown were grown like this, but she never said that she couldn't sell them.Could it be that yam has not been listed as an important medicinal material at this moment?Is the Liuwei Dihuang Wan still available?
Thinking of this, Su Qinghe's heart was filled with enthusiasm. Ancient prescriptions are very valuable. If she can sell the prescription of Liuwei Dihuang Wan, wouldn't she be able to make a lot of money?

But then Su Qinghe thought, this recipe is not easy to sell.She is now six years old, and there is no chance of going to the town alone.It is absolutely impossible for a pharmacy to trust a six-year-old girl.

Even if you find an adult, who can guarantee that this prescription will be effective?Traditional Chinese medicine is not Western medicine, and it will be effective after taking it.The current traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are handed down by Chinese medicine practitioners through various practices and the test of time, and are more valuable.

Write a new prescription by yourself, even if you make it look like an old prescription, there is only a [-]% chance of selling it.

"Let's dig it back and eat it." If they can't sell it, they can only eat it at home. Su Qinghe turned to look at Su Zhian, who stared at Su Zhian: "Little girl, are you stupid? Can medicinal materials be eaten casually? What if there is a problem after eating it?" manage?"

"No way." Su Qinghe pouted, but couldn't tell the efficacy of the yam, and was dragged away by Su Zhian in the end. She could only watch helplessly as her hope of making money was getting farther and farther away from her, feeling frustrated in her heart Don't mention the annoyance.

So much so that when she saw all kinds of things on the mountain later, she was a little bit lost.This feeling of seeing Jinshan but being unable to dig it out is really gripping.

"Little sister, there is a bird's nest over there. I'll get you some bird eggs to eat." Seeing that Su Qinghe was unhappy, Su Zhian hurriedly coaxed her. Su Qinghe looked up listlessly: "Are there any birds in it?"

"Probably not, I didn't hear the bird call." Su Zhian said with some uncertainty, rubbed off his shoes, hugged the tree trunk, went up in twos or twos, grabbed on the branch, looked inside, saw two white The chubby bird's egg, quickly reached out and stuffed it into his skirt, then slid down the tree, and handed the bird's egg to Su Qinghe like a treasure: "Little sister, eat it."

The corner of Su Qinghe's mouth twitched, and she turned her head: "I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."

Su Zhian was also not polite, the two eggs bumped together, and after coming out of the crack, he opened it and ate the raw egg.Seeing the top of the mountain, Su Qinghe didn't find anything else useful, so she dragged Su Zhian to go down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Su Zhian did not forget to cut a large bundle of grass.Su Qinghe also picked a few wild vegetables. The weather in October has also started to cool down. There are only one or two kinds of wild vegetables, but it's better than nothing.

In the evening when Su Jingsen and Su Zhang came back, Su Qinghe and Su Zhian had already prepared dinner.The whole family had dinner together and talked while picking peanuts.

"Zhi'an and Xiao He will also go to the field tomorrow, the peanuts are finished and we will rake the ground tomorrow, the two of you will follow behind to pick up peanuts." Su Jingsen said, looking sideways at Su Qinghe: "Is Xiao He feeling better? "

"Okay, Dad, the peanuts are finished, do you want to sell them in the town? I'm going too." Su Qinghe said quickly, she heard from Su Zhian before that the peanuts at home were going to be sold in the town.

Su Jingsen nodded: "Okay, let's all go to the town. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, we can buy some linen after selling peanuts. Xiang'er, do you still have a lot of hay at home?"

"Not much, I need to get a few more straw mats in winter." Su Zhang sighed, and threw a handful of peanuts: "A few years ago, Xiaohe slept with us, and six straw mats are enough in winter. This year, Xiaohe sleeps alone, so I have to make two more, and we have to give at least one to my parents, right? That's three."

Su Jingsen frowned, and said after a while: "Then when the peanuts are sold out, let's spend a few more days mowing the grass. There are still so many peanut seedlings, enough to make mats and clothes. Otherwise, we will buy more linen and winter clothes this year." Do two."

Su Zhangshi nodded, Su Qinghe was already listening so much that she almost couldn't think anymore, there were only four words left in her head - hay, linen, winter clothes, and mattresses.

When she just woke up, she found that the mattress under her body and the quilt on her body were filled with grass fodder, and she thought that the Su family was just a little poor, at least they could still have enough to eat.But I didn't expect that in this era, isn't there any cotton?
God, what era did she travel through?
