Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 986

Hearing what she said, Hongyi felt a little distressed in his heart, "I will accompany you when you go up the mountain, and prepare meals for the master. It will be fine for us to go for a few days. I am also familiar with the nearby mountains. I know where there are A cave where you can stay overnight, where you can shelter from the wind, and where there is a spring."

The monkey caught up with them, hooked Hongyi's shoulder with one hand, and said to Xiaotao with a smile: "Our Hongyi is amazing, he is the only one who has walked this mountain from beginning to end!"

Fatty also said: "You don't know, there are swamps and miasma here, and there are many poisonous insects growing on the side facing away from the sun, oh yes, there are also many poisonous mushrooms growing on the side facing away from the mountain. Don't mess around."

Meng Yangshu pushed him, "Do you still need to say that? Xiaotao knows medicine, so Xiaoyi will go to the mountains to collect herbs. She has never seen what kind of herbs."

Xiaotao patted her chest confidently, "That's right, although I'm not as good at feeling the pulse as my master, but other aspects are still very good. You will know in the future, so I won't talk nonsense with you. I'm going to collect herbs."

Common herbal medicines are cheap and can be found almost everywhere. Because the medicinal properties are average and large quantities are needed, she picks more. Even if they don't sell them, they can be dried and used as medicines for the villagers.

Xiaotao took a small hoe and dug along the road.

Such as green hemp, cocklebur, wormwood, tribulus, black nightshade, motherwort, cassia, Malan and so on.

According to the principle that the fruit should be ripe at the beginning and the seeds should be mature.

She doesn't care about what's available in this season, in short, she can pick whatever is available, and it's always useful.

Since she was collecting herbs, she walked very slowly.

Both Houzi and Meng Yangshu were eager to see the trap set up two days ago, so they told them, and left first, and made an appointment to meet by the creek in the valley.

Fatty didn't leave, hesitated for a while, then squatted down, and asked Xiaotao, "Tell me, what can be picked, and I will help you pick herbs."

Xiaotao looked up at him and didn't refuse. Why would she not do it if someone helped to gather herbs, so she pointed to the common old weeds and said to him: "Here, you know these kinds, you can see them in front of and behind the house Although the price of herbs is not high, we can pick them up, dry them, and make medicines ourselves."

Precious herbs are all in difficult and dangerous places, and they will not be so easy to pick.

"Okay, then I'll just pick these kinds, do you want to pack them separately?" Fatty asked her seriously.

Xiaotao said, "If you have extra bags, pack them separately, so that it will be easier to pick and choose after you go back."

The herbs dug back must be sorted immediately, otherwise they will be mixed together and it will be difficult to assemble.

Fatty nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I can do well."

Hongyi didn't leave either. He stood behind Xiaotao, thought for a while, and said to her, "I set up a cover near here, so I won't go far. I'll come back to help you collect the medicine after I'm gone."

Xiaotao dug a few black nightshades and was putting them in the basket. Hearing what he said, she just nodded in a muffled voice, "Oh, then go, I see there are quite a few herbs around here, enough for us to pick for a while."

Hong Yi took a deep look at her, then turned and walked towards a dense forest on the slope to the right.

Big Fatty is not slow to pick, but he didn’t bring a big basket, but he is very smart. The herbs he dug up are of different types, separated, and then tied together with ropes made of thatch, so that Many small bundles are formed.

In contrast, Xiaotao is much simpler, just throwing it back and forth into the basket behind her back.

Big Fatty was digging, seeing no one around, so he approached her slowly, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Xiao Tao, where is the farthest place you have been with your master?"

"The farthest place should be the capital city. It's really a good place. Even the beggars eat spicy food. It's better than ours." Xiaotao remembered that when she first went to the capital city, those beggars were squatting in the big city. At the entrance of the restaurant, there is such a powerful Princess Xiang, who even invites beggars to eat. She has never thought about this matter.

Fatty was surprised and envious when he heard this, "Is there such a thing? If I knew it earlier, I would also be a beggar. I don't have to work, and I still have good food and drink, so comfortable."

Xiaotao sneered, "Look at how promising you are, you want to be a beggar just for a little food, aren't you a man!"

The two of them had just exchanged a few words, and Hong Yi came back, holding a rabbit in his hand. He was scratching the ears of the rabbit. The rabbit seemed to be injured, with one leg drooping, and its two front paws hugging its chest. Said, that looks pretty fun.

Big Fatty smiled embarrassingly, seeing Hongyi coming back with the rabbit in his hand, he was surprised and said: "How on earth did you set up traps? Every time you set up traps, there were more things than we hunted. I wondered if you found it." helper."

Hong Yi came with a rabbit in his hands, but he looked at Xiao Tao who was squatting on the herb digger, and smiled shyly, "There is no help, it's just a fluke."

He walked up to Xiaotao and showed her the rabbit, "We can eat meat tonight." The rabbit meat is edible, and the fur is sold.

Xiao Tao is not usually a kind person, she would eat anything when she was very hungry, she looked up at the gray rabbit holding its paws, and it was the first time in her life that she realized her conscience, "It's just a leg injury, it can still live if you bandage it, why don't you first Let’s raise it for two days, wait until the day it survives, and then kill it.”

The eyes of the little rabbit whose ears were pinched suddenly widened.

Can it get away with it?Then you have to take good care of your body, and you must survive!

Big Fatty didn't take it seriously, "The prey is meant to be killed and eaten, so why raise it, besides, it costs sweets and food!" He was also greedy, thinking that he could go to Hongyi's family for a toothbrush festival at night.

Hongyi looked down at the rabbit, and just when Big Fatty thought he would refuse, he smiled softly, "Just listen to Xiaotao, let's find other ones, go down this path, there are still many things I ordered Taozi, there are fish in the creek in the valley, Big Fatty, don’t you have a fish basket with you? I’ll lend it to you later.”

Originally, he planned to go back to have extra meals at night with the hare in his harness, but for some reason, when he heard Xiaotao's soft-hearted pleading, especially when he met her eyes, he couldn't say anything if he refused.

Big Fatty snorted, "I find you are weird now, with Xiao Tao, you don't even care about us old brothers!"

Not only was he ignoring, when he saw Hongyi tied the rabbit up and walked over, hanging Xiaotao's pannier on his shoulders, he suddenly groaned, "Hongyi, Hongyi, I'm too tired to walk away, you put Let me carry this too!"

He also handed his own pannier to Hong Yi, trying to tease him.

Xiaotao is about to tell Hongyi that she can recite it by herself and does not need help from others. She is not a cute girl, she is a man, okay?
