Qiao Honglian was suspicious, but she had no evidence.

Who said that among the more than a hundred people, only Qiao Ran knew medicine best?

She could only endure her nausea while continuing to work at home amidst the curses of Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Xiao Huang.

The Qiao Dewang family was in a state of panic, but other families were beaming with joy.

That night, all the people in the village had their sugar boiled.

This kind of black-skinned sugarcane grows tall and thick. A mature sugarcane usually weighs 5 to 8 pounds.

Moreover, this sugar cane is very sweet and has a high sugar yield. Generally, about 13 pounds of sugar cane can produce one pound of brown sugar.

Therefore, some families who cut less sugar cane still produced eight or nine kilograms of brown sugar, and some had more than ten or twenty kilograms. Such a large amount of brown sugar was beyond their imagination before.

In the past, even if someone's daughter-in-law had just given birth and needed to recuperate, the family would only be willing to buy one or two kilograms of brown sugar and cook brown sugar eggs for the mother a few times.

But now, they suddenly have more than ten or twenty kilograms of brown sugar.

Now, adults and children can drink a bowl of brown sugar water from time to time to replenish their health.

The young men who went hunting with Qiao Ran and found sugar cane and came back with a bundle of sugar cane were even happier. Their families had more sugar cane than others, and they boiled more than thirty kilograms of brown sugar.

Of course, the one who cooks the most sugar is the Qiao family.

After making their own sugar, several families went to help the Qiao family make it. They saw that the brown sugar they made was packed in large pots and earthen jars, and all the containers at home were filled. Finally, they went to Wu. My family borrowed two large pots to hold them.

After the boiled sugar has cooled, cut it into small cubes and put it into a clean cloth bag. A big bag is filled.

The villagers made a rough estimate. With so much sugar cane in the Qiao family, the amount of brown sugar produced would be sixty or seventy pounds.

With so much brown sugar, even if it is given to the children as snacks every day, I am afraid they will last for a long time.

However, Qiao Ran would not let the children eat candy as snacks for fear of tooth decay. There was no dentist to fill or replace teeth here.

The third aunt in the family who had just given birth to a baby and was "postpartum weak" had almost recovered after drinking the high-concentration spiritual spring water specially prepared by her. She was even stronger than other young women who had not given birth.

However, you can still cook some brown sugar eggs for your third aunt from time to time.

People who give birth to children work too hard and need to be rewarded.

Chen Huiniang is not stingy either. Every month when she and her daughter are menstruating, they will cook one or two bowls of ginger and brown sugar water to replenish blood and warm the palace.

But it was said that after some people finished cooking brown sugar that afternoon, the men invited each other to go hunt some prey and come back.

Because there is a tiger, one of the mountains, there are no other large beasts near this mountain. We all hunted some small rabbits, pheasants, bamboo rats, deer, etc., and we could have a delicious meal of meat this evening.

The Qiao family spent a whole day cutting sugar cane and boiling brown sugar, leaving no time for hunting.

However, the wild animals that Qiao Ran, her second uncle, and Xiaodong returned from hunting in the past two days were already much more than others.

Qiao Ran found the opportunity to quietly put the tiger's skull, tiger gall, and tiger skin into the space.

The portion of the tiger meat and other hunted pheasants, hares and other wild animals that were not finished were put into the space.

My mother pickled the rest with salt, and asked my mother and grandma to cook part of the meat. When the weather was good, it was taken out to be dried into bacon and dried meat.

After boiling the brown sugar and eating a delicious game meal in the evening, everyone had a good sleep and got up early the next morning to pack up and get ready to hit the road.

After packing up their things and walking out of the cave into the woods, they were surprised to find that the cows and horses that had been in the woods for three nights were still in high spirits and not a trace of fatigue.

There were 6 horses pulling carts from the Qiao family, Wu family and the village, as well as 9 cows bought by other families. Qiao Ran secretly gave them some spiritual spring water.

They also sprinkled some anti-mosquito powder on them, so there were no mosquitoes to bite them. These animals rested well in the woods for three days.

The big buffalo in Li Daqiang's family was bitten on the butt by a tiger. After applying the herbal medicine given by Qiao Ran, the wound quickly scabbed. Pulling the car, it didn’t look like he was injured at all.

The people in the village couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that these cows and horses had been in the wild for three nights despite being soaked in the rain.

But no matter how they thought, they couldn't think of a reason.

Forget it, maybe these animals have thicker skin than humans and can live well in the wild!

We put all the heavy and bulky items on the cart, hitched up the horse-drawn carriage and ox-cart, pulled up the cart, picked up the bamboo basket, picked up the sack, picked up the children, supported the old man, and everyone started to climb up the mountain.

It has rained in the mountain forest. Although it has not rained for almost two days, the ground is still a little wet, and it is easy to slip on steep slopes.

No matter whether they are cattle, horses or people, they all walk carefully.

The hillside was the steepest just before reaching the mountain road, and both the cattle and horses kept slipping.

Those who did not have ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages quickly put what they carried on their shoulders, carried on their backs, and carried in their hands on the ground, and rushed forward to help those who had horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and carts to push their carts. Go uphill.

Zhao Tieniu, Qian Shitou, Li Daqiang, Widow Zhao and others rushed over immediately to help the Qiao family push the carriage.

Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu led the horses up in front, while the others pushed the horses or carriages from behind. After a while, they finally pushed both carriages up the slope. Pushed onto a relatively flat mountain road.

For this reason, the tattered straw sandals on Qian Shitou's feet were completely broken, and he stepped on the gravel-covered mountain ground with his bare feet.

Qiao Ran couldn't bear to hand Qian Shitou a pair of new shoes she bought for Qiao Dong: "Shitou, your shoes are rotten. There are a lot of gravel on this mountain road. It's easy to cut your feet if you don't wear shoes. These are Xiaodong's shoes. You Your feet should be about the same size as his, try it and see if you can wear it."

When Qian Shitou saw that Sister Ran handed over such a pair of brand new cloth shoes, which he could only wear during the Chinese New Year, he refused to take them.

"Sister Ran, you can keep these shoes for Qiao Dong to wear. It doesn't matter to me! I'll just ask my mother to make me another pair of straw sandals later. The ground is full of mud and pebbles. Wearing cloth shoes will make you feel better soon." It’s rotten. It’s such a waste to wear such good cloth shoes on the road. I can’t have them. You can take them back!”

Seeing that he refused to take it away, Qiao Ran could only take the shoes back.

That’s all. If you have a chance in the future, let’s compensate him!
