The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1280 [1279] The story of the buried female farming 7 (5000)

When Bai He went down the mountain and saw her home without doors and windows, she felt very insecure, but now that most of the houses in the village are like this, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The most important thing right now is to sow seeds. She made a plan for her yard. The backyard is a hut. Later, she will plant two persimmon trees, which can be used to make persimmon vinegar and persimmon cakes. Toons and grapes are planted in the front yard. It must be built. It can cool off in summer, and you can grow a few Chinese toon trees. She likes the smell of Chinese toon very much.

As for other fruit trees, they didn't mean much to her, so she didn't consider them.

It's getting late today, so I just cleaned the front yard, the backyard and the inside of the house. Everything else is easy to tidy up. The yard is just some construction waste and leaves scraped from the mountain. She didn't realize it until she was cleaning. I didn't buy a broom myself, so I could only wait for the broom seedlings to grow old in autumn, and then cut them home to make more. Now I use some stronger hay to dry in the sun.

She is now cooking outside with a fire, and built a simple shed near the base of the wall. She bought an iron pot and took it out of the stove when she needed it. Because the rain is dense in summer, she is worried that she will get wet. Rust, so it's safer to keep in the house.

I bought a lot of clay pots, mainly used for stewing soup and storing items, and I specially made a low stove.

After sorting things out, she calculated that she would need a cabinet for dishes and pots, a chopping board cabinet with vegetables and meat on it, and food and seasonings on the bottom.

Now there are two stoves on the top and a small one on the bottom. Whether it is outside the stove or inside the stove, it is the same structure. A bellows was also pulled, and a chimney was left. The stove on the side of the kang at the back of the house There is only one, if the kang is heated at night in winter, some hot water can be burned on it for a bath.

In ancient times, people took a bath either in the lake or in the river, or in the bathtub at home. She had already bought a bathtub, and it was just a matter of boiling more water.

Now the water outside is not clean, because it has not completely settled down, and there is a mountain spring in the mountain, but the water is dripping drop by drop from the cracks, which is too slow for her. The barrel was left alone in that position, and she was afraid of being stolen, so she planned to go back and check to see if she could find the source.

It was such a hot day, and she didn't have much appetite. After cleaning up, she boiled some water and took a hot bath. She then poured the water into the yard so that she could plow the ground tomorrow.

Now she doesn’t have any cosmetics in the shower, and she uses plant ash to wash her hair, because it is burned out of wood and leaves, it is not dirty at all, and it has a cleaning effect, not only for hair, but also for washing clothes. She also uses plant ash. She hasn't had her period yet, and when her period comes, plant ash is also needed, so this plant ash is very useful. She uses a jar to filter it, and saves the fine ones for washing hair and body to make menstrual belts, and the thick ones Save it for future laundry.

In the evening, I made a vegetable soup with small rapeseed and tomato, and served it with the shredded radish steamed bread made at noon, and I was satisfied.

It's a pity that there are no eggs, otherwise the taste will be better, but if you want to eat eggs as soon as possible, you have to go to the mountains to find pheasants.

The pheasant is very difficult to catch, that guy can fly, and she has no light skills, nor does she have the money and conditions to make silver needles, so whether she can catch it or not depends on her luck.

She also asked in the village, brooding hens stopped laying eggs, and before the chicks hatched, they would not eat or drink. This would be a big loss for those who needed eggs, so she was embarrassed Go open that mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that the town didn't sell them, she wouldn't have gone to the mountains to find a way to catch them!
As long as the sky is dark in the mountains and the moon is not out, it is really impossible to see. For others, they will be infested by mosquitoes when they sleep at night. You can sleep until you wake up naturally with a cloth strip covered.

After waking up, it was still dark outside, so she dragged out the wooden basin and sprinkled it with plant ash, and put the cloth strips bought outside into the basin for soaking.

She tore the cloth strips into strips of suitable size for weaving, and then twisted them into ropes.

But this kind of rope will be bad if it is exposed to the sun. It is more convenient to hang clothes. This is not difficult to make. Before making it, use these cloth strips to dry clothes. The fabric can be dried in the middle of the tree.

For breakfast, she peeled peas, corn, and cut sweet potatoes into cubes. After cooking, she mixed a little flour that was temporarily ground with a millstone into a paste, and poured it into the pot.

This bit of wheat was dried yesterday in a sunny yard. Because there were birds nearby, I dried two or three catties of wheat.

I got up early today and grinded it on the grinding disc in the space. The grinding disc was scrubbed the day I brought it home. It was a bit laborious to grind. Without a sieve to filter it, it was brown and thick, but this is how it is eaten in this era. Yes, some are good to eat, who cares about thin or thick?

Take out three bowls of soup at once, drink one bowl by yourself, put the rest in the space, and drink it when you want to drink it. The space keeps fresh and will not change qualitatively due to the length of time.

Because sweet potatoes are the most hungry, even if you only have a bowl of soup for breakfast, you will feel full.

Shredded carrots are marinated with chili, vinegar, and salt for a while. It is a very good cold dish. Sesame oil is very scarce in the town. I haven’t bought it. If you can add some sesame oil, this dish will be more delicious.

People in the mountains get up early. After she is full, it is around six o'clock. She carries a bamboo basket on her back, takes a shovel, and checks at home. She puts all the valuables in the space. Two braids, and then put on the coarse linen clothes given by the An family's godmother earlier, and her simple and down-to-earth attire made her even more refined. After packing up, she went up the mountain.

Not only to find water sources, to find pheasants, to dig some tough vines, but also to find more wild vegetables.

She entered the town this time and brought out so many vegetables and fruits that were out of season. In fact, she took a lot of risks. Fortunately, she was very careful along the way. She entered the space while it was dark, and rushed to the mountains early in the morning , it is not easy to find her trace, but if you go again next time, you have to change your attire.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. If you don't have space, if you don't live in the deep mountains and old forests, it is really not worth taking this risk.

When Baihe passed by the neighbor's house, she found the door of Wei's house was closed. She didn't know if she hadn't gotten up yet or had already entered the mountain. She was still thinking about the small basket she gave when she delivered the cornbread yesterday. After all, it was exchanged for fruit. Yes, she was trying to save trouble and was in a hurry to use it, so she didn't make it up herself. It might not be a big deal to the peasant family, but to her, it was all money!

"You're funny too. If you miss the basket, you don't care about your steamed bun with shredded radish? There's no shredded radish this season, so you never thought that people would ask you where you came from?"

Bai He opened her mouth: "I told you, I bought it from the town, and it was sold by an old man. It's not impossible to grow it this season, but it's not as thick and watery as the one I planted. I will pay attention to it in the future. , let’s not mention it this time, shall we?”

Liang Tian really didn't say anything after that, and Bai He didn't forget to tell himself that he needs to be more careful in the future.

We have just experienced earthquakes, heavy rains, and landslides, so landslides can be seen everywhere on this mountain, and some trees are washed down together, which is terrible.

She didn't know what was going on here before, anyway, the current mountain road is completely lost, and she found it all by herself, and she didn't dare to go deep, because the forest is intricate and complicated, and it won't matter if she gets lost , so I have always used my own house as a reference and spread it around. No matter where I go, as long as I can see the house, I can return home.

When she gets acquainted with the mountain in the future, it won't be too late to explore the depths.

The vegetation that was previously covered by the soil is now arched out. When there is sufficient rain, even if the high temperature lasts for many days, it will not prevent them from growing towards the sun. Wild vegetables, and some traditional Chinese medicines.

Common Chinese medicines are plantain, mugwort, honeysuckle, nightshade with small purple and black fruits, dandelion with small yellow flowers, datura with white flowers, wormwood, artemisia annua, cocklebur, etc., because of her I have studied Chinese medicine, so I am very familiar with these Chinese herbal medicines in the mountains, and I am also familiar with how to process them so that their medicinal effects can be preserved.

A good Chinese medicine doctor will not let go of any raw materials in the mountains. Even earthworms in the ground and leeches in rice fields will be regarded as useful medicinal materials.

Baihe's journey into the mountain was particularly careful. It was different from when she was in Changbai Mountain. Although Changbai Mountain was many times larger than this mountain, the population base around her was also very large. Whether it is wild vegetables or Chinese herbal medicines in the mountains, there are very few of them in large proportion.

But in the ancient times when there was no development, and under the premise of such a small population base, the plant resources in Qinggang Mountain were much richer than those in Changbai Mountain.

The key point is that many ordinary people do not know Chinese herbal medicines. When will they be able to collect them only with the few capable people they know?
She really enjoys the feeling of carrying a rattan basket and sweating profusely with a small hoe in the mountains to find wild vegetables and herbs. When she sees wild vegetables, she throws them into the frame behind, and when she sees herbs, she receives space. It is full, because the weather is hot and the rain is sufficient, so the wild vegetables in the mountain are flooded. She can't pick up the purslane, amaranth, gray vegetable, ground vegetable and various fungi.

So I can only put one basket after another in the back basket, pour it into the space when it is full, and continue digging when it is empty. Before you know it, the sun has moved to the middle position. Not to mention sweating, the stomach is also very hungry.

She found a place to sit down, looked around for no one, took out a tomato and gnawed it in her mouth, and as she ate, her ears moved, as if she heard the cry of a pheasant, which was similar to that of a domesticated chicken. Big difference, loud and crisp.

Her ears froze, and her body involuntarily froze in place. When the surrounding was quiet, she could even hear the sound of a pheasant flapping its wings clearly. It was really a pheasant. Tomato swallowed, and then slowly leaned over, looking for the source of the sound.

Because the male and female pheasants crowed differently, she soon discovered that there were two pheasants, one male and one female, and she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

When she opened the bushes and saw two pheasants foraging for food and occasionally communicating with each other, her eyes were straightened, because this pheasant is so beautiful, the feathers on the tail are super long, and it is also very big. There are four or five catties.

It has a red head, a brown body, a long pointed tail, and white chest hair on the neck. No matter how you look at it, it looks good. This is a pheasant in the mountains, and it is also a very common species.

Bai He didn't have any tools at hand, so she took out a piece of cloth from the space, and shook it off carefully. The pheasant looked around vigilantly, and seemed to hear something, but the two chickens stopped moving. Bai He held her breath and looked at it. With his own distance, if he rushed out like this, it would definitely be a chicken feather, and he would not be able to catch anything.

But the hearing of the pheasant is very strong. Now she is holding her breath and laying down in the grass nest, not daring to move. These two chickens, one male and one female, are just suitable for camping in her house. It is a pity to let them go like this, so Eyes rolled around, thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds.

As a result, when she was hesitating, two arrows pierced through the air, and with the sound of breaking through the wind, they stabbed firmly into the wings of the two chickens. Bai He stared at this scene dumbfounded. When it is sent out, it hits the wings that they can't fly, but if they miss this position and hit the footsteps, they may not be able to catch it.

When the chickens were struggling on the ground, a tall figure descended from the sky and firmly grabbed the necks of the two chickens. When Bai He saw the person, he quickly put the cloth in his hand into the space, and when they were about to turn around and leave At this time, he quickly shouted: "Wei, Mr. Wei, please wait a moment!"

It turned out that the man with good archery skills was none other than her neighbor Wei Ying. Seeing Wei Ying stop, she ran over and stopped him with her hand.

Wei Ying frowned and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him. Although the hair was still stained with leaves and grass, and the hair was tied differently from the usual girl's house, this face...it really looks good with a sack on it. , is more beautiful than the girls in the village, and is good at cooking.

For some reason, when he saw this face, he thought of the radish buns yesterday, and when he came back to his senses, the person had already come to him, waving his hand in front of him, and he didn't subconsciously wrinkle: "What's the matter? "

"Oh, I want to ask, can you sell these two chickens to me? I can give you money, or I can make some wound medicine for you, or I can leave two copies for you when I cook meals. Not to mention, my craft is pretty good.”

When Wei Ying saw her confidently patted her chest and said that her handicraft was good, he thought of those steamed buns again, wasn't it the carrot steamed buns?He hasn't eaten radish for only a few months, why does he think that shredded radish steamed bread is delicious?I can't even tell how delicious it is!
Now the woman who makes cornbread is standing in front of her, and she also said that more food will be delivered in the future. Thinking of the half-baked food that the father and son have eaten since the death of their mother, Wei Ying's expression changed several times in an instant, but, this object It was a girl's house, and he really couldn't get along with women, so he frowned and refused without even thinking about it.

"Look at my house, the house is completely bare. I walked so far to the town on the mountain road, but I didn't buy chickens. There are two chickens here, one male and one female, so I want to raise them to give birth to chicks. If you are right If they are not in great demand, can you give them to me? I promise that in the future, I will bring them to you father and son, and I will never let you make a loss-making business. Besides, my medical skills are good, and we are neighbors. How about when you can find me useful in the future?"

Wei Ying narrowed his eyes, looked at the woman who was not above his shoulders, suddenly amused: "Are you threatening me?"

Bai He stared: "How can this be considered a threat? You see, you father and son are good at hunting and carpentry, and I am good at cooking and medical skills. People in our mountains don't have much money, so they usually trade things for things, skills for skills. .I’m new here, I’m not familiar with people, I have no money or savings, and I’m pretty good at cooking. You hunt chickens just to fill your stomach? Then I’ll exchange other food for you, which doesn’t count as taking advantage of you. Cheap? If you don’t like food, then if these two chickens lay eggs or hatch chicks in the future, and grow the team, they can also send eggs to you. After all, you can’t let you suffer, isn’t that okay?”

Wei Ying felt a pain in his head when he heard the woman Balabala settle accounts with him. He glanced at her face indifferently, exhausted his patience, and threw the two chickens on the ground. Once their long legs collapsed, they came out of the bushes. Cong, before Bai He could react, she disappeared into the forest, she hurriedly shouted.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei Lang, I'll make some delicious food and send it to you later!"

Wei Ying staggered and almost fell, Bai He looked at his slightly flustered footsteps, and somehow found it funny.

Then I turned my head and saw two chickens. I couldn’t be more excited. I grabbed one with each hand and weighed it casually. Hey, it’s really heavy. One is less than five catties, but it must weigh four catties. It’s very fat. Today’s trip At last it didn't come in vain.

She tied a chicken to one end of a tree branch, carried it down the mountain, and hummed because she was in a good mood, thanks to the fact that the roads she walked were rather strange, because she didn’t know where the original mountain road was, so she always walked No matter where I went, I didn't meet anyone who went up the mountain, and I returned home safely.

When I got home, I checked the things in the house first, and there was nothing missing, so I put the chicken down with confidence. The two arrows hadn't been pulled out, so they would fly away in the future, and she had to find a way to break their wings. Except for the wings, Also, the wound needs to be bandaged with medicine.

Fortunately, she bought some medicine that day, and she ground the medicine into powder without hesitation, sprinkled it on the wound of the chicken, and wrapped it with cloth strips.

Afterwards, the hay was spread in the chicken coop, two chickens were put in, some water was filled in a wooden bowl, some vegetable leaves were mixed with rice bran, and the chicken coop door was closed with wooden bolts.

　Sorry, I'm a little busy today and the update is late.
