The mountain forests are dense, the morning mist is filled, and the roars of wild beasts can be heard from the mountains in the distance. The whole mountain forest seems deep and awe-inspiring. Similarly, the mountain forests are also generous. Various fungi thrive among the decaying leaves at the bottom of the trees. Wild fruits and unknown
The flowers and plants are also in patches.
After walking in the forest for about a stick of incense, Zhu Shouyi gradually slowed down, carefully checked the ground around him, and then motioned to Zhu Pingan and the others to stand there and not move. Then, Zhu Shouyi put down the basket behind him and gently
Put it aside in the grass, and then take out some ropes from it.
"This kind of footprints are those of a hare. Hare likes to run straight and jump to a certain height while running, so when you put on the trap, you need to place it higher. Don't damage the surrounding environment and restore it to its original state, otherwise the hare will not
It's a trap..." Zhu Shouyi explained to his two sons how to trap a hare while setting the trap. "A hare that runs fast will not pay attention to this 'trap'. Once it rushes into the trap, the hare has no chance.
Quit."
Zhu Ping'an noticed that the traps his father put on were very simple. They were made of readily available materials, such as wooden sticks, branches and ropes. Two traps were made from the ropes. One trap was used to catch hares. After the hare got into the trap,
, will struggle desperately, and will be pulled tighter and tighter! How can this tighter and tighter snare not strangle the hare to death? How can we catch a live hare? The secret lies in the second one
On the cover, there is a small "cover" at the end. Finally, it is blocked by this "cover", and a new small circle is formed. This new small circle saves the life of the hare, and the hare will not be strangled.
Already.
After setting three traps, Zhu's father led his two sons to go around and find another way. If he was lucky, he could see the fat rabbit when he came back when he went down the mountain.
Slowly, the group of three people also gradually harvested: two pheasants, which Zhu's father found a pheasant nest and caught outside the chicken nest; five large carps weighing two or three kilograms, which were caught in a pheasant nest.
It was caught in a mountain stream. The stream was very shallow. There was a pool of water blocked with stones. There were many fish in it. This was caught by picking up the heavy ones, otherwise I could have caught more than ten fish. I also picked almost ten kilograms of mountain mushrooms and fungus.
It looks like left and right.
When passing by a bamboo forest, Zhu Ping'an thought of the bamboo shoots mentioned in A Bite of China, so he yelled for bamboo shoots. After hearing this, Zhu's father's eyes lit up, and he put down the bamboo basket obediently and took out a sharp knife from it.
Mouth hoe.
Finding bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest is also a technical job. You need to have the technique of "looking for gold through the soil". Bamboo leaves with thick green leaves and yellow spots are bamboo shoots. You can get bamboo shoots by digging around the cracks in the surface soil. Zhu's father happened to
It is one of the masters. Father Zhu divides bamboo shoots into the so-called "male" and "female". If the first section of a mature bamboo shoot branches in pairs and grows symmetrically, it is a female bamboo, and there must be bamboo shoots around it;
If it is a single branch, it is a male bamboo with no shoots. After finding a bamboo with pregnant shoots, you should carefully observe the direction in which the top tip of the female bamboo hangs down. The place where the dewdrops drip on the bamboo tip is where the bamboo shoots grow. In addition, the lower part of each bamboo
There is one main bamboo whip, and the direction of this bamboo whip is parallel to the plane formed by the first symmetrical bamboo branches. The shoots always grow in the extension direction of the bamboo whip.
I dug out about eight or nine bamboo shoots, all of which were short and thick, about 20 centimeters each, and were tender and tender, just right to eat.
At noon, we ate in the mountains. We picked some wild fruits, caught three slightly larger fish in the mountain stream and grilled them over a fire. We also had dry food brought from home, especially my father who found a gourd.
, cut it open and made a fish soup with stream water. Dad’s basket looked like a jingle cat’s bag, full of salt.
With his mouth full of oil and his belly bulging, Zhu Pingan felt that this meal was the most filling and best meal he had eaten since coming to Ming Dynasty. It was a hundred times better than what he had eaten at home.
After eating, we took a short rest and then started looking for good things in the mountains again.
The small animals in the mountains were very alert, maybe because they were frightened by the hunters. Each one of them seemed to have become a spirit, and the slightest movement disappeared without a trace. At this time, Zhu Pingan missed that era in the distant era very much.
If only there was one of those stupid roe deers in Where Are We Going, Dad? I would be able to catch them easily.
Unfortunately, this is the Anhui and Hubei area, and there are no silly roe deer. Although there are no silly roe deer, Zhu Ping'an still discovered something good. There are large white and gold flowers blooming under the trees over there.
It turned out to be honeysuckle. Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over.
"Zhe'er, don't run around." Zhu's father hurriedly followed.
Zhu Pingan ran to the honeysuckle and checked carefully. The flowers were all rod-shaped, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, slightly curved, with yellowish-white or greenish-white surfaces, densely covered with pubescence. Occasionally there were leaf-like bracts, which were indeed
It is the honeysuckle described in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Honeysuckle can be said to be the easiest traditional Chinese medicine to prepare. After being sun-dried or dried in the shade, you can get a usable traditional Chinese medicine. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: bitter, cold in nature, good in clearing
Eliminate poisonous evils on the upper burner and muscle surface.
Picking these honeysuckle flowers, taking them home, drying them and selling them to pharmacies might be a good way to make money.
Zhu Ping'an made a mark nearby. If he can sell it for money this time, he can come directly to pick it in the future.
There are a lot of honeysuckle here, so Zhu Pingan picks the best ones and only picks flower buds. For the best honeysuckle, the flower buds are in the shape of a handful, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, slightly curved, with a greenish-white surface, thick and slightly hard corolla, open flowers, and broken flowers.
Flower buds and yellow bars should not exceed 5%.
When Zhu's father chased him worriedly, Zhu Ping'an was picking flowers vigorously with his butt stuck out, and he looked so cute.
Picking flowers?
Father Zhu's eyes twitched a little. His youngest son couldn't be a libertine who hangs out among women, right?!
"Why are you picking flowers? Let's go, daddy will take you to pick fruits to eat!" Zhu's father felt that he had the obligation to correct his son's bad buds.
Zhu Ping'an raised his head and glanced at Zhu's father, shook his head and continued picking.
"The fruit is very sweet and delicious." Zhu's father continued to work hard.
"This can be sold for money." Zhu Pingan muttered while picking flowers.
Father Zhu curled his lips, how much can these wild flowers be sold for? There are wild flowers and weeds all over the mountains and plains, but there is no one selling them for money! He patiently said to his son, "People in the city also buy peonies when buying flowers, and roses."
Plant good flowers, but not this kind of flower. Feed this kind of flower to pigs, and the pigs won’t even eat it!”
Feed the pigs and don’t even eat them?
Did you see, this is why the people in the village are so poor!
Whether you can sell it for money or not is not a matter of using pigs as judges!
"Brother, let me help you." Zhu Pingchuan felt sorry for his brother, put down the basket, and helped pick flowers.
What he thought was simple, what his younger brother wanted, he would get it.
"Then you can only pick this kind of flower." Zhu Pingan took out a standard high-quality honeysuckle and showed it to Zhu Pingchuan.
"Yes." The simple and honest elder brother nodded and helped pick the honeysuckle.
