Chapter 117 It's Not Fleeing Famine, It's Traveling!
Chapter 117 It’s not about escaping, it’s about traveling around!
The villagers came one after another until the night was completely dark, and no one came to sell pears.
By the time Jiang Ci and his family finished their work, it was already night.
Although their family owns a bullock cart, the long hours of work just now made them so tired that they fell asleep.
The same goes for Jiang Ci.
Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Ci made breakfast, Li Zheng and the village chief came over impatiently.
"Sanlang's wife, how is it? How is it? So has the Qiuli ointment been made?"
Li Zheng and the village chief glanced around the cave.
Jiang Ci took out a bucket of thick crimson juice from behind the two of them, and Li Zheng and the village chief surrounded it.
"It's all here! Five cents of silver and one tael of autumn pear ointment. Divide it into two portions and take it with boiled water. Drink it twice and your cough will stop!"
Li Zheng and the village chief were very excited:
"Okay, okay! I'll go to the village to inform you now!" The village chief grinned down to his neck and hurried away.
When Li Zheng saw this, he also beamed with joy: "Daughter-in-law, Sanlang, thanks to you in our village, otherwise we wouldn't know how to cure this cough! Great, with this thing, we can walk a few more miles today
Way to go!"
Li Zheng also came out of the cave happily.
After less than one stick of incense, a long queue formed outside the cave. First of all, after Jiang Ci's one-month consultation, there were almost no illnesses that could trouble her, and everyone was convinced of her.
Secondly, they had just sold wild pears yesterday, and each of the women and children could earn five or six cents, while the men could easily earn more than ten cents. Together, the whole family made a lot of money last night.
A cough can be cured with just 5 cents, and they can take it out even if they grit their teeth.
Looking at the long queue, Shen Dashan, Jiang Jin and Shen Shuan also picked three larger baskets of leaves.
Qian Guixiang did his best to give everyone the task of making Shengqiu Ligao.
Qian Wang and Qian Tiezhu are not people who live in idleness. If they can't stop them, they will kill Qian Guixiang.
The three of them cooperated skillfully and had a tacit understanding.
So Jiang Ci took some time off.
"Sister-in-law, there is a bamboo forest behind our cave. I also saw a few gray-breasted birds in the bamboo forest, which are so beautiful!"
Shen Shuan stayed beside Jiang Ci lively,
"A gray-breasted bird? Isn't it small in size, brightly colored, and looks a bit like a pheasant?"
Shen Shuan nodded: "Yes, yes! Sister-in-law, what kind of bird do you know?"
"Silly boy, that's bamboo chicken. It's more nutritious than pheasant. The stew is especially delicious! Come on, let's go take a look!"
Before leaving, Jiang Ci did not forget to bring the slingshot he had specially prepared. For some animals with smaller bodies, bows and arrows are too lethal. In comparison, slingshots are really suitable.
Shen Shu Anle followed Jiang Ci with a bang.
When we arrived at the lush bamboo forest, we saw a dozen birds running around in the jungle.
Bamboo chickens are generally social animals, staying together in groups of three or five.
Jiang Ci held a slingshot in his hand and knocked down four bamboo chickens casually. Shen Shuan followed behind and immediately picked them up.
When Jiang Ci went there, he discovered that there were some white stems in the bamboo forest, with a layer of black and gray mushrooms on the top of small umbrella shapes.
"Sister-in-law, throw it away! You can't pick mushrooms from the mountains indiscriminately. Someone in the village ate the mushrooms picked from the mountains before and went crazy for three days!"
When Shen Shuan saw Jiang Ci picking mushrooms, he hurried over to stop him.
Jiang Ci didn't take it seriously: "Have you been crazy for three days? Then you should have eaten mushrooms like Jianshouqing!"
"Then I don't know!" Shen Shuan shook his head,
"Don't worry! No one is better at identifying mushrooms than your sister-in-law and I! This thing is called bamboo fungus, which is a kind of mushroom. You can use it to make soup and drink it. It's nourishing! Moreover, this bamboo fungus is the best. Where are the mushrooms? Look..."
Jiang Ci peeled off the black and gray shell on the bamboo fungus, revealing the white interior. The bamboo fungus looked like a white girl's dress.
Shen Shuan's mouth widened in surprise: "Wow!"
Jiang Ci smiled. The bamboo forest was not big. The two of them turned the bamboo forest upside down in a short time. They collected all the bamboo fungus.
When I returned to the cave, I heard the domineering voice of Mrs. Shen,
"I am your mother! You should respect me, but you still ask me to give you money? Damn you! How shameless are you?"
Jiang Ci and Shen Shuan walked over quickly,
Sure enough, I saw Mrs. Shen and her four sons standing majestically at the entrance of Jiang Ci's cave.
However, before Jiang Ci passed by,
Li Zheng found a dozen men and took away Mrs. Shen and her sons.
Jiang Ci smiled,
He walked up to the crowd and said, "Those guys who just took away Mrs. Shen just need to pay 3 taels of silver to buy Qiuli ointment!"
Bang!
The crowd in the queue suddenly exploded:
"Only three cents of silver? My dear, you just took away a few people, and half of the money you spent on Qiuli ointment was lost!"
"This Sanlang lady is too arrogant! If I had known, I would have gone to get someone!"
"Ouch! What a missed opportunity! I hate myself!"
…
Seeing the sound of thumping their chests and feet in the crowd, Jiang Ci's lips curled up,
Um!
In this way, Shen Dashan and Qian Guixiang won't have to worry about other people's opinions when she's gone. People in the same village will remove all their obstacles before they take action.
It's just a loss of some money,
It really couldn't be a better deal.
In the morning, Jiang Ci made bamboo fungus soup, which was rich and delicious. The whole family drank several bowls of it.
"I always thought the mushrooms in the bamboo forest were poisonous mushrooms. They grow black. I didn't expect them to be so delicious."
"Dad! The bamboo fungus is not black!" Shen Shuan finished the last sip of the soup.
He took out a bamboo fungus from his backpack,
Then he ran in front of everyone and tore open the top black-gray skin of the bamboo fungus in front of everyone, revealing the snow-white inside:
"Where are there such beautiful mushrooms?" Shen Yunhe's eyes sparkled,
He couldn't help but take the mushroom in Shen Shuan's hand and play with it.
"It's true! This mushroom is white and tender, and it's prettier than the little girl!"
“No wonder it tastes so good!”
"Next time I see a bamboo forest, I have to go to the mountain to pick more! We'll save it and eat it!"
Jiang Ci couldn't help but smile: "Grandma, I'm afraid you don't have time these days. There are still people in the village who haven't drank the Qiuli ointment we cooked yesterday!"
Mrs. Qian Wang woke up from a dream and couldn't help but sigh,
But when I thought that I could make a lot of money selling Qiuli ointment, my mood immediately became high again!
After everyone finished eating, they set out on the road. Everyone clearly felt that there were less coughs in the team and they were in high spirits. There was a clear difference from yesterday when the legs were sore and swollen:
"It's all thanks to Mrs. Sanlang. Now our legs are no longer sore, we don't cough anymore, and we feel comfortable everywhere!"
"That's right! Thanks to Miss Saburo!"
"I don't know if you have noticed it! The wild vegetables in the mountains near us are all gone. We can fully eat the wild vegetables now because they are all along the roadside!"
"Yes! This is not an escape, I think it's a sightseeing tour, right?"
