Li Mushu had a good idea, but Hong Da and Xu Daming discouraged him from going up the mountain.The reason is simple, it's all for his safety.

Hongda and the others only moved to Huaishuwan one after another three years ago. They are not as familiar with the mountains around their village as other villagers who have lived for several generations.Next, Huaishuwan is the place where Xie Yueyun settled for them, and their life is considered rich.There is no tax here, and the harvest is good, so there is no need to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and fruits for food.Occasionally, during the slack season, mostly after the autumn harvest, they go to the mountains in groups to hunt and enjoy themselves. They also pick some wild fruits for children to eat as snacks, or pickled them into preserved fruits or vegetables.

The ecological balance of the surrounding mountains has not been artificially damaged or over-harvested, maintaining its originality, and ferocious animals will appear suddenly, which naturally adds a lot of danger.With Li Mushu's small stature, even if two more people were sent up the mountain together, to be honest, Hong Da and Xu Daming were still very worried.

Furthermore, General Xie Yueyun was not around, without his consent, how dare Hong Da and Xu Daming take Li Mushu up the mountain?If something happened to Li Mushu, how would they explain it to General Xie?

Hong Da and Xu Daming prevented him from going up the mountain. Although Li Mushu was very disappointed, Biyi's psychological age was not really only 14 years old, so he would not insist on going up the mountain willfully.It's just that he was very depressed, and he was pouring cold water on his joy, counting his fingers and counting, Xie Yueyun has been away for almost ten days, so let's wait.Li Mushu hung his head and had no choice but to go home.

Li Ping had expected this kind of result a long time ago, and when he saw Li Mushu came back dejectedly, he asked Huang Erniang to bring him sweet mung bean soup to improve his mood: "Young master, it's very hot outside, drink some mung bean soup to relieve the pain." Let it be hot."

"Yeah." Li Mushu picked up the spoon and stirred it a few times, but he was still listless.

"My lord, the wild fruits on the mountain are either ripe or rotten, and the weather is hot. If you want to eat fruits, you don't have to go up the mountain. I can go to the county town to buy them. There are more varieties. It's sweeter." Seeing that Li Mushu kept his head down and didn't make a sound, Li Ping thought for a while and thought that he might be looking for something to do, so he said, "Young master's cooking is very popular with children, so it's not as good as yours. Make more for them as snacks after class?"

"Huh?" Li Mushu raised his head to look at Li Ping, and murmured, "But there's no butter, milk, salad oil, and oven here."

"What?" Li Ping was stunned: "I can understand everything except milk?"

"...Uh, forget it." Li Mushu opened his mouth and couldn't explain, so he waved his hands and lowered his head.

"You tell me, I'll go and ask if I can buy it back." Li Ping asked persistently. It's okay for Mr. Li to be unhappy. He was specially transferred by General Xie to follow Mr. Li.

Seeing Li Ping insisting, Li Mushu thought that as long as the oven can be made, not only cookies, cakes, but also barbecue can be baked.The spirit couldn't help but improve, and he introduced with gestures: "The oven is square, and the material is stainless steel... or iron. When it is baked with fire, the temperature inside will exceed [-] degrees. Put the batter in it and bake it, and it will be baked." Into crunchy pancakes..."

"Oh." Li Ping frowned and pondered, "Talk to the blacksmith and it should be possible to make it. Is there anything else?"

"Huh?" Li Mushu didn't expect Li Ping to casually say that a blacksmith can do it after such a simple statement. This ancient man really specialized in art, which is too powerful.How about making pans, hot pots, and barbecue racks, and hot pots will probably be on the table in late autumn.

At the thought of spicy hot pot, Li Mushu's spirit immediately lifted, and his eyes sparkled.He ran into the study with a smile, took out paper and charcoal, drew all the kitchen utensils he wanted to make, and told Li Ping about their uses and usage.

Li Ping nodded while listening, and picked up Li Mushu's charcoal pencil to make some marks on the picture: "I'll go to the county to buy it tomorrow morning. What is butter salad oil?"

"No need for that, if you have milk... Forget it, even if you can sell it, it will spoil when you bring it back. You can buy more sugar, and if you have honey, you can also buy some. In addition, you should also bring some fruits and seasonings. I'll write you a list tonight."

"Okay." Seeing that Li Mushu was in a better mood, Li Ping was relieved: "There are some fruits and vegetables that Huang Erniang is going to pick to make dried vegetables and pickles for winter. If you are interested, my son, you can go and have a look."

"Then I'll go and have a look. I've been living in the south before, and I've only seen dried vegetables made of cabbage, which are good for stewing soup." Li Mushu's eyes lit up, he had never seen dried vegetables before. .The winter in the north is very cold. I heard that the only vegetables in the winter are Chinese cabbage and radish. Do you want to build a greenhouse to grow some green vegetables?The people here are quite open-minded, so they should be able to accept out-of-season vegetables, right?

"Li Ping, you can buy some oilcloth tomorrow, and after the autumn harvest, we will set up a tent to grow vegetables in the yard."

"At that time, it was just right to grow cabbage, radishes and potatoes. You don't need to build a shed. You can live just by planting it like this."

"No, we grow green vegetables, such as cabbage, rapeseed, leeks, cucumbers and so on."

"Ah? It snows heavily in winter, can we survive in such cold weather?" Li Ping was deeply puzzled.

"That's why I asked you to buy oilcloth. The oilcloth blocks the cold air outside, and when it's warm inside, the vegetables can survive." Li Mushu explained.

"Like This."

"Well, you have to try it? Or do you want to eat only cabbage and radishes all winter?"

"...Okay. Since I want to try it, I'll also buy some southern vegetable seeds." Li Ping is also from the south, and he was moved by Li Mushu's words.Young people are always receptive to new things.Curious and willing to try new things.

"Hahaha, good. You go and come back early tomorrow. We still have to plan how to build a shed." Li Mushu didn't expect Li Ping to accept off-season vegetable planting so easily, and couldn't help laughing happily. He must try to grow mushrooms in the future. They will definitely have a good time working together.Xie Yueyun really did not find the wrong person for him.

Li Mushu had something to do, so he was naturally in a good mood.There is no rush to build a shed, and it is okay to wait until the autumn harvest, but some bamboo can be cut first and put back for later use.He can tell Huang An to do these things. Now let's go and see how Huang Erniang makes dried vegetables.

"My lord." Huang Erniang was picking eggplants in the vegetable garden, when she saw Li Mushu coming over, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Well, hey, why are the eggplants you picked so small?" Li Mushu saw that the eggplants in the basket were all small, as if they were underdeveloped.

"These small eggplants are delicious when they are marinated with salt and added with some sesame oil. Long beans and small cabbage should be made into dried vegetables, and they can be cooked and eaten as vegetables in winter." Huang Erniang explained with a smile. The servants are all very nice. Although it is in the countryside, the living conditions here are much better than those in my hometown.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Li Mushu looked at this basket and then at that basket, but there was nothing to see. Huang Erniang saw that she was quite restrained by her side, so she said, "Then you should be busy, I'll go over there to see." look."

"Yes."

Li Mushu walked to the fence on the far left, and looked up at his front yard.Because of the extension of the house, the vegetable field is much larger than before. In addition, Huang Erniang has rearranged it, so it looks neat and the vegetables grow well.

Near the fence, Li Mushu once dried the first batch of chili seeds that he just bought here, but now they are only growing green leaves, not blooming, let alone fruiting.It seems that I have to wait until next year to eat the fresh peppers I grow myself.Fortunately, it is now the mature period of peppers, and they are also sold in the county.Well, it seems that chopped peppers, pickled peppers, and kimchi have to be made. Pickled peppers are good for keeping warm when cooking and eating in winter.

Li Mushu felt so cold at the thought of spending the winter in the north where there was no heating and no down jacket.The chicken feathers, duck feathers and goose feathers that he had deliberately collected before had already been dried and hung in a dry room.Because the people here don't slaughter chickens and ducks every day, and there is not much hair collected. Li Mushu doesn't distinguish between what kind of hair, they are all piled up for cleaning and disinfection, and when the amount is enough for a quilt, Huang Erniang Sewn quilts.

In fact, Li Mushu was too worried. Xie Yueyun had already prepared these winter clothes, but they hadn't been shipped yet.Even if Xie Yueyun didn't prepare, Doctor Wang Hongda would prepare for them.Li Mushu just read a lot of time-travel novels, and he always thought that he had to get some modern cold-proof clothes by himself like other male protagonists in Huaishuwan.In fact, apart from the absence of electricity, everything is fine here, even better than modern life.At the very least, the food is safe, the water is clean, the air is fresh, and the clothes don’t generate static electricity or anything, and they are all natural.

If Li Mushu hadn't met Wang Liang and Xie Yueyun, even if he was transported from the future, he would be no better than the people here.In this agricultural society, he might even be inferior to the people here.

Every time he saw his shortcomings, Li Mushu felt very emotional and helpless.Although he wanted to write everything he knew that was not here.But the so-called specialization in surgery, except for Western medicine, Li Mushu has only a half-knowledge of other things and even some common sense in life.Let’s just talk about Western medicine. Without auxiliary tools, he can’t move a single step.Li Mushu didn't know why there was no surgery in the medical science of the Tang Dynasty, as far as he knew, surgery was recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Foreign Classics in China as early as the Western Han Dynasty.It seems that this Tang Dynasty is really not ancient China, so where did he wear it?Can I wear it back?

"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, what are you in a daze for?" Dr. Wang saw Li Mushu standing by the fence, looking into the distance, with an incomprehensible expression on his face. He was also a little flustered, as if Li Mushu would float away at any moment. .

"Master, why are you here?" Li Mushu came back to his senses, he lowered his head to gather himself, and then looked at Doctor Wang with a smile.

"I heard from Ada that you want to go up the mountain. I'll come over to see if you sneak up." Doctor Wang shook his head jokingly, while secretly looking at Li Mushu's expression.

"Why? Uncle Da also stopped me for my safety. I can't cause trouble for everyone."

"En." Doctor Wang nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"I'm thinking of building a greenhouse here to grow vegetables after the autumn harvest, so that we can eat tender green vegetables in winter. I'm thinking about how big it will be."

"I've done this before."

"Really?" Li Mushu stared at Doctor Wang with wide eyes, "What did you do then?"

"I asked someone to dig a cave, and spread soil on the hole to grow herbs and vegetables. But if you want to build a shed in this yard, it's much more convenient. If you want to eat, you can come out and pick it. It's just that you have to build this shed It’s a bit stronger, the snow in the north is so heavy that even thatched and wooden houses can be overwhelmed.”

"Dig a cave to grow vegetables? Master, you are so smart." Li Mushu admired him sincerely, admiring him endlessly.Once again, I felt that I was really small, how intelligent the ancients were.

"Hey, hey, of course." Doctor Wang was beautiful when he saw the worshiping eyes of his disciple.

"Listening to what you said, it is not acceptable to use bamboo to build a shed."

"Bamboo, it depends on how thick the bamboo is. If it's thin, it might be flattened after a heavy snowfall."

"Put the soil on it... Ah, how about I also make some boxes and fill them with soil to grow vegetables. If the snow is really too big, can't we just move all these boxes inside the house?" Li Mushu Said excitedly.

"Okay, anyway, those two halls are empty."

"Then do that, ha ha."

"I said, Xiao Mu, are you free?" Doctor Wang squinted at Li Mushu.

"A little bit. You all have your own work, I'm on the order."

"Then you have memorized all the books I asked you to read? Can you distinguish the herbs in the three pharmacies in my family?"

"...Not yet." Li Mushu's face was full of confusion, how could he finish memorizing so many books?But even if you haven't finished memorizing, you can't always stay at home and memorize, right?The medicinal herbs can basically be distinguished, but the efficacy of the medicine has not been fully understood.

"Endorse more and think more when you have time. Human life is at stake and no mistakes can be made."

"Yes, Master."

"En. Your aptitude is so good, don't waste it." Dr. Wang spoke earnestly.

"Yes." Li Mushu lowered his head a little ashamedly.I always use charcoal pens to look good, so I give up learning brush calligraphy. In fact, writing big characters is also a kind of self-cultivation, and it is a matter of my mentality.Li Mushu always thought that one day he would have a chance to return to modern times, so he subconsciously refused to make some changes.But now he must reverse this mentality.Just go with the situation, and you have to really integrate into this place.
