savage peasant girl

Chapter 28 Pepper
Seeing Xuan Jiu's movements, Roman held back a smile, handed the big leaf to Xuan Jiu and said, "Here, since you can move, eat it by yourself, eat slowly, and be careful not to choke. Yaocao, my younger brother will guard you in the cave, remember not to come out of the cave."

"En." Xuan Jiu responded, and then asked: "This sweet potato... is it a kind of herbal medicine? Or?"

"Haha, this sweet potato is an edible plant, just like wild persimmons and wild fruits, but it grows underground, so there are not many people who know it... um... beasts." Roman said, turned and walked out of the cave. , filled some sweet potato soup with big leaves and brought it to Xuan Jiu to drink.

"Brother, I'll ask Shang Mu Ling to go to the mountain to find herbs. You don't go anywhere today, just stay in the cave to ensure Xuan Jiu's safety." Luo Man said to Luo Qing before leaving.

Luo Qing wanted to refuse straight away, but thinking of the usefulness of Luo Man leaving Xuanjiu, he changed his words: "Well, Sister, don't worry. I will guard the hole."

Roman set off with two animal skin bags on his back, and asked the wood spirit to go into the mountain together.

"Sister, I heard what happened yesterday from my aunt. Sister is really amazing! I thought that sister only knew about herbal medicine and some pharmacology, but I didn't expect that sister's medical skills are so good! It spread in the clan, Said sister helped You Yu get rid of the fever!" Mu Ling said, his eyes lit up and then dimmed, and then said: "My elder brother also had fever symptoms in the early years, and died in the end..."

Hearing Mu Ling's words, Roman rubbed her hair, and said seriously: "Don't worry, with me here in the future, you and your aunt won't suffer any more grievances."

The wood spirit nodded and put his arms around Roman's arm.

Roman and Wood Spirit walked up the mountain road. After walking for a long time, Roman saw a tree full of red fruits!Shouted out in surprise: "Hahaha, there are peppers!"

"Huh? Sister? What is Chinese prickly ash?" The wood spirit looked at Roman's fingers, hesitated, and said, "Sister... this plant has a very bad taste, and it has many hard thorns. will get hurt."

Roman smiled and said: "This is a good baby. Just be careful."

After Roman finished speaking, he walked over first, picked one carefully, and licked it with his tongue.

So numb!That's right, it's that familiar taste!Hahaha.

Roman picked a handful of peppercorns carefully as if he had found a treasure. If the first task was not to find herbs, Roman would definitely pick more.

The wood spirit looked at Roman in surprise, but thought that every novelty that Roman picked would come in handy, so he followed Roman's example and picked a little off.

"This is called Zanthoxylum bungeanum, and it is a condiment. Take it home and dry it, and throw five or six of it when cooking the meat. Remember to dry it, otherwise it will become moldy and damp, and you can't use it." Roman told the wooden spirit, and by the way, said: "By the way, the treasures you and I came to pick up from the mountain cannot be disclosed to other ethnic groups for the time being."

"Don't worry, Sister, I know! Other females never tell us when they find out." Mu Ling said.

Well, that’s actually not the case. Roman is mainly worried that it’s too late to pick some more today. If they pick them all up, Roman will have nothing to do. They cook them once a year. After that...

Muling took Roman to go up the mountain. Not long after they left, Muling found several red berries on the side of a big rock, and said pleasantly: "Sister, look! This is the Sanqi plant you dug last time. something, right?"

Roman walked over, identified it, and said with a smile: "That's right, this is the Panax notoginseng I took you to dig for the first time! Come on, dig it quickly, this is also a useful herb. I didn't expect your identification ability to be so good. good."

Mu Ling smiled and said: "Sister, I laughed at me, but I just remembered."

Roman glanced at the wooden spirit, and smiled without saying a word.It seems that the girl Mu Ling has a pretty good memory.

Roman and Mu Ling picked up two branches and squatted down to dig the soil carefully. After a while, they dug out all the roots and stems of these five or six Sanqi plants, and filled them with half-animal skin bags.

Roman thought for a while, there is still a bag and a half of fresh fern grass at home, plus this half animal skin bag of Panax notoginseng, enough to change the medicines for Xuan Jiu and You Yu in the past few days.Roman didn't expect to find herbal medicine today quite smoothly.It seems that this mountain has not been developed for a long time.I don't know what other witch doctors use to treat diseases. If you have a chance, you must meet the witch doctors here and discuss their medical skills!
"Mu Ling, it's a good thing your eyes are bright, otherwise you don't know when to find it! It's on the side of the big rock, I really didn't see it just now." Roman laughed.

"It's just... just happened to see it. Haha." Mu Ling said with a shy smile.

"Well, Wood Spirit, I have completed my task this morning. How about you? Do you want to collect firewood or wild fruit today?" Roman asked.

"Sister, Mommy asked me to come out to collect firewood in the morning. The firewood at home is almost used up. Mommy said to stock up some more." Mu Ling said.

"Ah, firewood, it's easy, you just go back with me, Luo Qing didn't go hunting today, he is resting at home. I asked him to come out to help you collect firewood. He is a male, so he has great strength." Roman laughed.

"Sister... how embarrassing this is..." Mu Ling heard Luo Qing's little daughter's twitching.

"Haha, why am I so sorry. You accompanied me up the mountain to find herbs, and I asked Luo Qing to help you pick up firewood. What's wrong? Liangqing." Roman said, pulling Mu Ling down the mountain.

When passing by the pepper tree, Roman saw that it was still early noon, so he and the wood spirit picked pepper for a while, and when they picked three or four catties of wet pepper, Roman asked the wood spirit to go down the mountain together.

Because Xuan Jiu was in the cave, Luo Qing refused to stay in the cave, so he lay down on the animal skin under the awning to rest. When he heard the familiar footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw Roman and Wood Spirit, and said in surprise: " Why did you come back so soon?"

"That's right! I was lucky today. I found herbs not long after I entered the mountain. I also found a kind of seasoning. I put it in when I cook the meat. I'll give you a try! But at this moment, you go to help the wood spirit Let's pick up some firewood at home, go and come back soon." Luo Man put down the animal skin bag and sent Luo Qing to pick up firewood.

"Mu Ling, you go back to accompany your mother, there is nothing else for now, remember to remove the pepper like this, leaving only the small balls," Roman said, showing Mu Ling a demonstration, and then said: "Then Put the prickly ash on the big leaves to dry, remember to dry it before storing it, it must not get wet, and wrap it in dry animal skin. When cooking the meat, take out five or six, or increase or decrease according to your preference."

"Yeah, sister knows. Then I'll go back first. Show me this baby." Mu Ling said and went back with his animal skin bag.
