Although we can't completely relax our vigilance now, we still have to prevent refugees from going up the mountain, but it's just some petty theft.
If the refugees rarely go up the mountain, Jiang Zhi and others are not afraid, just for a bite to eat, just a few hours of mountain road will make people lose their fighting spirit.
If there are too many people, they will become bandits. Before ten people gather together, the soldiers from the medical shack will eradicate them as soon as possible.
In the early morning, with the morning glow filling the sky and the mist lingering, the big rooster flapped its wings and flew up to the branches of the trees.
First, he looked around habitually. Seeing that no one noticed his intention today, he quickly stretched his neck: "Oh...oh!"
He shouted so hard that he finally let out the breath he had held in his chest.
It's a pity that extreme joy brings sorrow. He was so depressed that he didn't crow for too long. He crowed twice in a row. The big rooster was exhausted and dizzy. He fell from the tree and didn't recover for a long time. The hens were so frightened that they clucked and panicked.
Next to it, the chicks that hatched in June and have put on flat feathers are digging for food under the leadership of their mother.
It's still early for them to crow, and what matters now is to grab grass seeds and bugs first.
It is now the end of August and the sorghum on the hillsides is ready for harvest.
Clusters of sorghum ears were cut and hung under the eaves, glowing red.
The sorghum stalks were carefully put away by Mr. Man, who wanted to make some daily necessities.
It’s also time to harvest the peppers from the fields.
In the past, because there was not enough salt and there were not many jars, all the chili peppers were sun-dried and no chili sauce was made.
Now, the two families are starting to use soybeans to make tempeh, dried bean paste, and some simple seasonings.
Chunfeng and Xiaomannai take care of things at home, and Jiang Zhi is looking for medicine again.
This time when she was going down the mountain to dig pots in the village, she overheard several medical soldiers complaining and chatting next to her.
He said that because there were so many injured people and the weather in Qiuhu was hot, some people felt bored in the past few days and went to sleep on the stone slabs outside. After catching the cold, they all had diarrhea, which made them exhausted from doing odd jobs such as pooping and peeing. .
Medical Officer Xu was also very angry. He said that since there was a shortage of medicinal materials, he still went through such troubles, and he would not give medicine if he saw someone sleeping outside.
The medicine Jiang Zhi gave Xu Dong last time was specially prepared. Most of it was used for bruises and bruises, but not many for miscellaneous diseases, especially the cold and diarrhea that the doctors said.
Cold diarrhea is commonly known as gastrointestinal cold. This disease is the most troublesome, with headache, fever, body pain and no sweat, vomiting and diarrhea, and edema all over the body.
The ancients said it was caused by being greedy for coolness in summer and sleeping in wetlands.
In modern times, colds and diarrhea are caused by blowing air conditioners and eating cold drinks. Cold and dampness are mixed together, and repeated attacks are difficult to cure.
Every disease has its own grass, every spear has its own shield, and the grass on the roadside is its nemesis.
Now is the early autumn, which is the flowering period of fragrant grass and the harvesting period of this medicine. Jiang Zhi slowly searched along the sunny forest hillside.
fragrant grass in its infancy; delicate
Among the deep green, light green and various greens on the mountain, the purple flower spikes of fragrant grass are very eye-catching.
Perilla is also called waterseed, sage, and vanilla. It has a fragrant smell. Its flowers and leaves are very similar to perilla, and its distribution is also very wide.
The grass looks soft and beautiful, but its medicinal properties are strong. It can induce sweating, relieve inflammation, diuretic and reduce swelling. It is known as "Summer Moon Ephedra".
Blossoms and vicissitudes of life
In the Song Dynasty, Xiangzhiyin was a popular traditional Chinese medicine drink.
In "A Dream of Red Mansions" and other 29 chapters, Daiyu and Jia Mu went to Qingxu Temple to perform a ritual ceremony. It was the summer season and the air was filthy. When she came home, she suffered from heatstroke. What she drank was Xiangzhi drink.
Boiling a bowl of sweet potato water in summer can relieve pain. Unfortunately, this medicine has strong properties. Drinking too much water will cause excessive sweating, so it cannot be drunk as tea like honeysuckle.
Jiang Zhi uprooted the fragrant grass he saw on the hillside. He only needed to clean it, cut it into sections and dry them in the shade or sun before they could be used as medicine.
At this time, the little wild boar was digging the soil at her feet, looking for grass roots and insects below.
Pork belly is originally a wild boar, and it especially likes to look for food outside.
Go home after having a full stomach every day, and then drink the salty pot water and vegetable dregs into your stomach, and it will sleep lazily, eating well and growing rapidly.
It was obviously a little pig with lace stripes on its body, but it was already twice the size of a wild boar of the same age and could no longer be held.
Xiao Manye, who wanted to perform a "castration" operation on it at three months, made a mistake in judgment, missed the opportunity, and had to give up the idea.
Moreover, Jiang Zhi now knew that it was actually a male.
But the casually mentioned "Peppa" has already been taken, and he still shouted like this.
Anyway, the little wild boar is dressed up beautifully by Nini every day, and the fur on her head and body is all tied into pigtails with colorful threads.
It's not a bad idea to have a boy's body and a girl Jiao'e inside.
Only Jiang Zhi felt uncomfortable seeing the little wild boar eating like this every day. She wanted to be a beautiful woman and had a lot of fat, so she made two bags out of linen for the little wild boar.
When you go out, put it on your back like a saddle, and carry one or two grasses home every time.
People can't have free time, chickens can't have free time, and neither can pigs.
Although the little wild boar is still a baby and is suspected of employing child labor, the good habit of loving labor needs to be developed from an early age.
Carry it twice more. The little wild boar likes his backpack very much. He has to tie it up as soon as he goes out. Of course, he must take it out after tieing it up.
The little wild boar especially likes to go out to work with its "mother".
At this time, Jiang Zhi saw Jiang Zhi pulling out the herbs, and he came over to put them into bags while humming.
Jiang Zhi pinched the young leaves of the sweet potato and said to it: "Page, come here, take one to get rid of bad breath and prevent tooth decay!"
Now when the little wild boar behaves well, Jiang Zhi calls him Peppa Pig, and when he gets into trouble, he calls him Pork Belly.
After being praised, the little wild boar opened its mouth and ate it in one bite. It even flicked its tail and was very satisfied with the taste.
Jiang Zhi also pinched a piece of fragrant grass leaf and chewed it slowly in his mouth, then spit out the residue after the taste was gone.
It's not convenient to brush your teeth here, but it's good to freshen your breath. It's also one of Xiang Zhi's skills.
The fragrant grass grew into a large area. Jiang Zhi quickly cut a large basket, carried one basket on his back, and packed two more plants into the little wild boar's bag.
So under the bright sunshine, one person and one pig, one behind the other, staggered home.
At this time, Xiaoman also cut a large bundle of yellow wattle leaves and went home.
If you want to make tempeh at home, you must first mold the soybeans.
Xiaomannai boils the cleaned soybeans until they are soft and rotten, and then puts them in the sun for a day.
Wait until evening, put the cooked soybeans evenly mixed with flour into a small basket, put it into a large basket covered with grass, and cover it with a thick layer of yellow wattle leaves.
Relying on the temperature brought by the accumulation of fresh yellow wattle leaves, after five days, yellow mold will grow on the soybeans. They are scattered and dried in the sun, and then sprayed with ginger juice. This is soybean fermentation.
If you add tempeh to the chili sauce, it will taste better.
In the following days, the finely chopped chili sauce is mixed with Sichuan peppercorns, and tempeh is added to begin the sun-drying and night-dew process.
The mouth of the vat is covered with a layer of gauze to keep away dust and debris. After a month of repeated stirring, turning over the vat, and three to five months of storage and fermentation, the fine product is produced.
Only chili sauce that absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can produce the most unique local delicacies.
Only five days had passed since the first exchange of medicinal materials. Jiang Zhi sent down the mountain the fragrant grass he had dried and other medicines.
This time, it was Xu Errui who sent her to the outside of the village.
Entering the village and having the guards check his face card, Jiang Zhi found the medical officer Xu Dong by familiar means.
