But Long Tianyu told her that the other party was probably just like them, and had come to seek refuge temporarily.
Moreover, the other party saw the two of them here just now, and took the initiative to invite them to come over and warm themselves together.
Long Tianyu followed and took a look to make sure those people were not dangerous to them, and then came back to pick her up.
It wasn't until she met that group of people that Lin Mengya knew what her man meant.
"Brother Chu, come quickly! There are more people here and it's more lively."
She saw more than a dozen people sitting in an open area making a fire to keep warm, and for some reason, Lin Mengya felt that they seemed to welcome the arrival of her man.
Although Long Tianyu was not that approachable, the other party didn't seem to care.
"Okay." He responded and pulled his wife over.
The man who greeted Long Tianyu warmly before took the initiative to greet her again, "I guess this is my younger brother and sister, right?"
Lin Mengya curled her lips, nodded to the other party in a gentle and friendly manner, and said hello, "Hello."
The dozen or so people were all men, with rough personalities, and they were a little more cautious towards her.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya usually doesn't have any airs when she gets along with everyone, and these people don't feel malicious to her. Therefore, within a few words, those people's affection for her doubled.
He even took the initiative to give up the warmest place to the two of them.
Lin Mengya also reciprocated the favor.
She took out some spiced dried meat from the small bag and gave it to the other party.
She carefully prepared the seasonings for the dried meat, not to mention the taste. Now her teachers have developed a habit of chewing the dried meat while studying medicinal books.
She even improved the recipe and asked Long Tianyu to use it as military rations, which not only greatly improved the taste of the dried meat, but also enhanced his physical fitness.
The other party each took a few strands, and as soon as he put them in his mouth, he couldn't help but praise them.
"What kind of meat is this and why is it so fragrant?"
Lin Mengya leaned next to her man and said with a smile, "It's wild boar meat."
"Huh? We have eaten wild boar meat several times before, but it was fishy and smelly and not delicious at all."
The man who spoke was the man who greeted Long Tianyu before. He introduced himself as Zhu Wu.
Now, he was amazed by this small dried meat, and he didn't expect that this fragrant dried meat was actually made of wild boar.
He couldn't help but tear off a little more with his teeth, chewing it carefully between his lips and teeth.
It seems that besides the smell of meat, there are some other flavors.
yes--
"There are a lot of medicines in here Ingredients, I can taste cinnamon, cardamom, and angelica."
At this time, a young man sitting in the corner suddenly spoke.
Lin Mengya also looked at the other party with a little surprise, what a clever tongue.
She nodded and said, "Yes, because it has been marinated with special spices before, which not only removes the fishy smell and adds fragrance, but also makes the meat more tender."
However, I'm afraid the other party won't be able to taste the other things in this recipe.
This is also because the environment in different places is different, so whether it is wild birds or livestock, there will be certain deviations in the taste.
If you want to make something delicious, you can only work on other aspects.
"What? Can medicinal herbs be put in this dried meat? No, why don't I taste the taste of the medicinal herbs? I only taste the aroma!"
While Zhu Wu was eating, he felt a little doubtful about life.
Lin Mengya couldn't help laughing and rolled her eyes, but she praised the young man in the corner, "It should be because your tongue and nose are more sensitive. This is your talent."
He also told Zhu Wudao, "Some medicinal materials can not only cure diseases, but can also be used as cooking seasonings. For example, the common Sichuan peppercorns, dogwood, and chili peppers can not only dispel cold, but also make food more delicious."
"In addition, there are star anise, cinnamon, strawberry, cardamom, etc., which can be used as seasonings."
Because there are often illnesses at home, especially those like Qinghu and Xiaoyu, which require long-term physical conditioning, Lin Mengya not only studies prescriptions that will cause less damage to their bodies, but also has to work on their diet.
As the saying goes, medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements. No matter how good the prescription is, taking too much will always be harmful to the body.
Therefore, she often comes up with some medicinal recipes to warm and nourish the body, and she also pays attention to adding some medicinal materials when cooking.
Her goal is to keep everyone healthy and strong.
She lives up to her reputation as a professional pig farmer!
Lin Mengya's voice was not high-pitched, but the others beside the fire were gradually attracted to her, and they sat in a group to listen to her talk about these little skills that they had never heard of before, but were closely related to them.
"Oh! I didn't expect that I could cook like this! I'll tell my wife when I get back and ask her to make it for us too."
Zhu Wu listened very seriously.
They are all herb collectors who make a living by collecting herbs, but they do not have the skills to plant medicinal fields and do not have land.
, so usually they travel through the woods all year round to collect wild medicinal materials.
There are naturally many dangers in living in the wild all year round, not to mention various accidents and attacks by wild beasts. The most important thing is that most of them live in mountains and forests.
The humid and cold climate has caused many people to suffer from various diseases.
Even though they often collect medicines, they can only maintain food and clothing. They can't spare any extra money to buy the best medicinal materials to warm and nourish their bodies. Therefore, even if they are sick, most of them can only endure it.
, even resigned to fate.
Now, Lin Mengya told them some tips, and for herb collectors like them, the medicinal materials she mentioned were almost free of charge.
A free thing can cure diseases. Where can I find such a good thing?
However, some people don't believe it.
But after hearing that she spoke so eloquently and was so familiar with pharmacological properties, most of them couldn't help but write down what she said.
Anyway, those things don't cost much, so they don't feel bad even if they eat them.
What if it’s useful, then it’s an unexpected gain?
What's more, even if it's not good for the body, wouldn't it be a good thing if the food can be made better and more delicious?
Therefore, these dozen people were even more enthusiastic about Lin Mengya.
"The price of these things is persistence. I'm afraid there won't be any changes if you eat them for one or two meals, but if you eat them all year round, they will definitely be good for your body."
Lin Mengya had a gentle attitude and responded to their questions.
After this experience, the dozen or so people were no longer wary of them, and everyone spoke relatively relaxedly.
No, they also revealed the identity of the herbal collectors, and also took the initiative to mention some of their recent troubles.
"Well, the work of collecting herbs is getting more and more difficult now! A few days ago, I saw many people going to the nearby mountains to find medicinal materials. Oh, it's not that I look down on them, how can the materials be so easy?"
Next to Zhu Wu, an older herb collector complained.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu looked at each other quietly, and then heard Zhu Wu say; "The key is that these people don't follow any rules when collecting herbs. Regardless of whether they are grown or not, they all dig up the roots, and even for
They ruined the forest quite a lot while looking for medicinal materials!"
Zhu Wu got very angry when he mentioned this.
Each line has its own rules, just like they, a group of herb collectors, make a living from the mountains, but at the same time they must also protect the environment in which they live.
For example, when they collect medicine, don't they No matter how precious the medicinal materials are, they will not pick them until they are fully grown.
For some medicinal materials that are extremely difficult to survive, they have always been careful not to damage the root system, lest these medicinal materials become extinct.
Some medicinal materials are extremely picky about the environment in which they grow. For such medicinal materials, they will not easily damage the environment around the medicinal materials.
In this way, they can live on this mountain for generations to come.
But now those people who don't understand the rules have destroyed the forest they depend on for survival.
What troubles them the most is those people, and they still can't stop it!
"Stop talking about Lao Zhu, they are all soldiers of those big families. How can we people resist them?"
As soon as these words came out, the momentum of more than a dozen people suddenly weakened.
If this continues, they will soon run out of food.
For a while, the atmosphere became gloomy again.
He does not mean that.
The main reason why Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu came here was to inquire about the surrounding situation.
Thinking of this, she pretended to be curious and asked, "If those big families want to buy medicine, can't they just go to the town and buy it? How much can I pick by myself in the mountains?"
Zhu Wu said in a low voice, "You two have just arrived here. I heard that something big happened in Yuehu City, so there is an urgent need for a lot of medicinal materials."
"They have bought up all the medicinal materials in all the surrounding towns. Even the ones we had just returned were taken away by them, but it is still not enough."
Something happened in Moon Lake City!
Lin Mengya was shocked in her heart, but she didn't reveal anything. Instead, she asked in a low voice, "I heard that a clan meeting is being held over there? All the major families and the elders' council are there, how could something happen?"
Zhu Wu curled his lips. For herb collectors like them, who had no fixed residence, clan meetings were actually not that important.
"Who knows? I heard that they had an accident when they were worshiping the Lake God. I heard from people over there that a lot of people died. Hey, something happens every time there is a clan meeting.
Come, let me see, the lake god is probably angry with them, so he is angry."
Although they relied on Long Tianyu's information network to obtain some information.
But sometimes, it is still not as detailed as native people like them.
So, Lin Mengya used curiosity as an excuse to inquire about it.
Those people probably said a lot of things because the night watch was boring and they were not so defensive about them.
