"This is Prunella vulgaris. Please note that it can only be picked when the ears are brown-red. Its main symptoms are clearing the liver and purging fire, improving eyesight, dispersing knots and reducing swelling."
"Yeah! Okay sister-in-law! I remember it!"
"You dig these medicinal materials today! I will teach you three kinds every day! Otherwise you will bite off more than you can chew!"
As soon as Jiang Ci finished speaking, he saw a movement in the grass not far away. When he looked closer, he saw an animal with gray hair that looked very similar to a mouse.
Shen Yunhe screamed: "Ah! Rat!"
Shen Shuan, who was walking at the front, turned back arrogantly: "You are a coward, even mice are afraid of you!"
While the two were bickering, Jiang Ci had already knocked the bamboo rat down with the chestnuts in his basket, and when it turned over, he lifted it by its tail and hung it in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, you...why are you catching mice!"
"This is called a bamboo rat. It grew up eating bamboo, and its meat is delicious! There must be a bamboo forest near where the bamboo rats are. Come on, let's look for it. We can catch a few more bamboo rats and take them back to the restaurant. If we can't finish them, we can take them to the restaurant. Sell!"
Shen Yunhe didn't have much interest in eating rats, but when he said that this thing could still be sold for money, he immediately shouted to Jiang Ci to take her with him!
And it seems that boys are naturally more sensitive to catching prey, so Shen Shuan followed Jiang Ci without Jiang Ci saying anything.
Sure enough, not far from where the bamboo rat appeared, the three of them found a bamboo forest. When they saw Jiang Ci digging bamboo shoots, they quickly stopped him:
"Sister-in-law, this stuff is so bitter and astringent that you can't eat it at all!"
"That's because there is no blanching. Xiao Yunduo stopped my sister-in-law. Is it because she doesn't believe in her cooking skills?"
Shen Yunhe quickly let go of Jiang Ci's wrist: "No, no! My sister-in-law cooks the best food in the world!"
In the end, the three of them worked together to carry five bamboo rats and dozens of bamboo shoots home.
………………
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Here, Mrs. Shen, her eldest son, and her eldest daughter-in-law are on their way to Shen's house. In the afternoon, people in the village are working in the fields, so there are mostly no people on the road.
When passing an old tree in the village, Yang Cuihua suddenly felt her knees go weak, and she threw herself on the ground, whereupon she fell and chewed the mud.
The two eggs in my hand were also broken into pieces.
Yang Cuihua raised her head from the ground, her face was covered with egg liquid, and Mrs. Shen's mouth twitched in distress: "You idiot, you can't even hold the eggs! Our chickens only warm two eggs a day, don't eat today. Got it!"
Yang Cuihua curled her lips in grievance. She didn't know why she fell down when she was walking well.
When Shen Dachun saw his mother-in-law's face covered in egg liquid, she looked away in disgust: "Why don't you find a place to wash it off quickly? It's really embarrassing!"
"Mom, I think it was that little broom star Jiang Ci who cursed me! Otherwise, I was walking fine, so why did I fall down for no reason?" Yang Cuihua gritted her teeth and said,
"If you are stupid, then you are stupid...ah!" Before Shen Dachun could finish speaking, his knees hurt and he knelt on the ground.
After that, he finally managed to push himself up, and his knees immediately became sore that he knelt on the ground again.
"Mother... mother... there is a ghost!" After trying it several times, Shen Dachun cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf!
Just when Mrs. Shen was about to get angry, her knees suddenly hurt, and she knelt down on the ground with a "plop".
Now the three of them were all kneeling, and Shen Dachun suddenly softened: "Mom, Jiang Ci's broomstick is so powerful at defeating Xingren, why don't we leave?"
Mrs. Shen's face darkened: "Let's go? Even if the fourth family sells Ganoderma lucidum, they still have five or six taels left to pay off the debt! Can Qian Guixiang's little hoof hold this money?"
"But...but we can't even lift our legs, how can we get there!" Yang Cuihua felt bitter in her heart.
She got up a few times just now, but her knees hurt more and more each time, so she cleverly knelt down and couldn't get up. Anyway, she was not the only one kneeling!
Mrs. Shen hated her so much, but she just got up from the ground. Her knees immediately became weak. The most important thing was that she heard the chatter of villagers coming back from the fields not far away.
"Boss, the Fourth Brother's family is a bit evil. Please help me go back first, and I will ask a goddess to go to his house tomorrow to drive away ghosts!" Mrs. Shen turned around immediately. She didn't want to be laughed at by the villagers again!
Strangely enough, since they left, their knees have never been sore or weak.
In the end, the three of them helped each other and limped back!
……………………
As soon as Mrs. Shen and the others left, Jiang Ci, Shen Yunhe, and Shen Shuan came back from the mountain.
After the others returned home, Jiang Ci started cooking. She made stir-fried bamboo rat meat, griddle bamboo rat, bamboo rat soup, scrambled eggs with fungus, cold bamboo shoots, and then baked a few leeks and eggs on the pot. cake,
As soon as the dishes are served,
Shen Shuan ate a piece of bamboo rat meat first and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect that bamboo rats can be eaten! It's so delicious!"
Shen Dashan couldn't help but nod: "I have never cared about this kind of thing before, but I have missed this delicious dish for so long."
Qian Guixiang also smiled and praised: "I think this bamboo rat meat is more delicious than pork! But compared with pork, this bamboo rat meat can't squeeze out much oil!"
But she saw that there was no oil left in the earthenware jar that contained oil in the kitchen after being made by Xiao Porcelain for two days.
This food is delicious, but it also consumes a lot of fuel!
Seeing everyone moving their chopsticks, Shen Yunhe also tried to pick up a piece of bamboo rat meat. This taste conquered all her taste buds: "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome! You can also make rat meat so delicious!" "
Jiang Ci reluctantly reiterated: "This is not rat meat, this is bamboo rat meat, which is very nutritious!"
"Hehe! It doesn't matter if it's a mouse or not! Anyway, it's delicious!" Shen Yunhe put a few pieces into his bowl with a smile!
"Mom! You eat first! I'll go find Grandma Qiao and talk about hiring someone!"
"Sister-in-law! Hire me! I can do anything!" Shen Yunhe admired his sister-in-law so much at this time that he just wanted to keep hanging on to his sister-in-law!
"Why do you need to hire someone? I can do it. I will go with you to sell sugar-fried chestnuts tomorrow, Xiaoci!"
"Mom, your health is not good yet. Besides, if you sell sugar-roasted chestnuts to me, who will collect the chestnuts in our family? How can we make money if there is no supply of chestnuts?"
Qian Guixiang suddenly felt a heavy burden on her body, and asked happily: "Really? Is it so important that I collect chestnuts at home?"
Jiang Ci nodded heavily,
After making everyone happy, Jiang Ci filled a bowl of bamboo rat meat and walked towards Qiao Huirong's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a flock of chickens running back and forth in the yard. There were about a dozen of them.
"Xiao Ci, why are you here?" Jiang Guirong went to the kitchen to serve rice and happened to see Jiang Ci, so he quickly pulled Jiang Ci into the house.
Jiang Ci put the meat on the table,
"Grandma Jiang, I'm here to see Brother Danuo! That's right, because I have a better business selling sugar-roasted chestnuts in the town, so I plan to set up a stall on West Street, but there are not enough people, so let's see what Brother Danuo can do. You can't go over and help me work together. The salary is twenty cash a day, and if you sell well, you'll get a bonus."
"Are you serious, Xiaoci? Are you going to hire people for your stall and pay twenty cash a day?"
"Well! If Brother Daniu is willing, you can go to my house after dinner tomorrow morning and wait for Xiao An and I to go to town together."
