Qixia Mountain is indeed worthy of its name. The mountain is covered with mountains, thousands of walls, and lush vegetation.
The three of them walked for an hour to the foot of the mountain, and then followed the winding steep path to the mountain.
"Zhu Yu, let's go separate and collect grass and firewood!" Dagang said when we reached the mountain.
"No, no, no, let's be together. I still want to learn from you!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hands anxiously.
"What? Learn from me? It was you who taught me back then!" Dagang was a little surprised, but soon he realized what Zhu Houzhao's problem was, "Oh, then okay, okay!"
Collecting firewood is a technical job, but this technology was not developed at all, because at that time, there was no emphasis on environmental protection at that time. There were dead trees and branches all over the mountains, and you just had to bury your head and chop them with a hatchet.
Besides, there is no technical content in removing thatch. You just need to hold the bamboo chopper and do it with all your strength. However, while doing so, you should also look around and listen to all directions. Maybe there is a vast world under that thatch.
The three men worked for a while, and soon the thatched grass and chopped firewood were piled into piles.
At this time, Dagang spoke: "Zhu Yu, I'll tie the thatch and firewood with rattan. You and Xiaocui go pick mushrooms! Pay attention, let Xiaocui teach you more!"
Xiaocui rolled her eyes at Dagang: "Why don't I teach you? Brother Zhu Yu taught me back then!"
Dagang said quickly: "This is not Zhu Yu's brain..." Then he stuck out his tongue and did not continue.
Everyone knows what this means.
After Dagang finished speaking, Xiaocui handed the basket he brought to Zhu Houzhao and took him to the other side of the mountain to pick mushrooms.
There is indeed a lot of knowledge involved in picking mushrooms.
Xiaocui took Zhu Houzhao to pick mushrooms, and said, "Brother Zhu Yu, what we pick is called mushroom picking, to be precise, and the ones we pick are called mud mushrooms. These mud mushrooms mostly grow under pine trees, and they are sweet and delicious when cooked. !”
At the same time, some extremely gorgeous mushrooms were also found while picking mushrooms. At this time, Xiaocui would remind: "Brother Zhu Yu, these are most likely poisonous mushrooms. You must not pick them."
During the process of picking mushrooms, I accidentally discovered some honeysuckle leaves with white leaves. Xiaocui taught Zhu Hou to pick them.
He also introduced: "This honeysuckle tastes sweet but cold, fragrant and dispersing. Its main functions are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, clearing heat and detoxification, cooling blood and stopping dysentery, lightly relaxing the lung meridian, and can be used in the throat where exogenous wind-heat has begun. Swelling and pain, or the initial onset of fever or wind-cold in febrile disease.
During the summer heat, regular drinking of herbal tea made from honeysuckle can prevent heat stroke, lower blood lipids, nourish the skin, and assist in the treatment of various heat, sexually transmitted diseases, and skin diseases.
Xiaocui paused for a moment and then said: "Honeysuckle is a good thing! It can not only be used as medicine, but also as a vegetable! If you take 25 grams of honeysuckle, 50 grams of lotus seeds, and an appropriate amount of sugar, wash the honeysuckle first; Soak the lotus seeds in warm water, peel, core, and wash them. Put the lotus seeds in a clay pot, add water and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until thoroughly cooked. Add the washed honeysuckle, cook for 5 minutes, add sugar and mix thoroughly. It’s ready, it’s a fragrant and delicious delicacy! ”
After Jing Xiaocui said this, Zhu Houzhao almost drooled.
As the saying goes: "If a man and a woman match each other, the work will not be tiring."
Through the concerted efforts of Zhu Houzhao and Xiao Cui, although honeysuckle grew among thorns and was not easy to pick, they still achieved fruitful results. Not only did they pick a basket of honeysuckle, they also picked a basket of mud mushrooms.
At this time, Dagang on the other side of the mountain had bundled thatch and firewood into bundles with rattan, and the three of them returned home with their loads loaded with laughter.
It's hard to go up the mountain, and it's even harder to go down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, the weather was not good, there was sudden thunder and lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain.
The already steep and difficult mountain trail became increasingly muddy, and several people were soaked in the rain.
But fortunately, the three of them carefully carried the mountain goods to the foot of the mountain, and finally walked back to the unknown nook after a difficult trek.
What to do next?
The three of them had a brief discussion, and then they made five. Xiaocui took some of the mountain goods back, while Dagang and Zhu Houzhao each kept some. Dagang and Zhu Houzhao took the rest to the market to sell.
Dagang was used as a wife, and Zhu Houzhao was used as a tribute.
Chenyuan Market is the largest and only market in Jinrou County.
Although the war is in chaos and people's livelihood is difficult, there are still people in the market. No matter what, people have to survive!
Zhu Houzhao and Dagang entered the market, found a place, put the wild goods on the ground casually, and then they shouted loudly: "Let's take a walk and take a look. Don't miss it when you pass by." There's a big sale on firewood and mud mushroom honeysuckle. A bundle of firewood costs 12 copper coins, and a bundle of mud mushroom honeysuckle costs 14 copper coins each! Hey, sir, would you like a bundle of firewood? Hey, and this lady, mud. Do you want some mushroom honeysuckle? What? This wood-fired mud mushroom honeysuckle is soaked in water? Sir, this lady, don’t speak so harshly, okay? Conscience of heaven and earth, what is there that doesn’t contain water in this rainy day? Wait a moment You can do anything when the sun comes out! If you want to buy something, you have to do it as soon as possible. There is no store like this after passing this village!"
After Zhu Houzhao and Dagang shouted again and again, it seemed to have an effect, and many people gradually gathered around.
Everyone was waiting and watching at first, then gradually some started to bargain, and finally some started to test-buy.
Once someone starts, the crowd becomes excited.
You bundled them up and I bundled them up, everyone was in a hurry, and soon Zhu Houzhao and Dagang's mountain goods were sold out.
The two of them counted up and found that the total amount was five yuan, which was enough for Kuang Jinhua to work hard for a month.
Then he got up and walked towards the exit of the market. After walking only a few steps, a sharp roar came from behind: "Bage Yalu, you are leaving after you have made enough money? Please keep your money as a filial piety!"
Zhu Houzhao took a look and saw a few weird guys with arrogant hairstyles of "groomed on both sides and shaved in the middle", wearing weird clothes, and samurai swords hanging from their waists.
Dagang hurriedly grabbed Zhu Houzhao and said, "These are Fusang ronin who are here to extort money. Let's go quickly!"
The two quickened their pace.
"Bagagaru, I'm watching where you're going!" Two big, round-chested Fuso ronin had already rushed forward and blocked their way, waving samurai swords.
It seemed that the way out was blocked, so Dagang suddenly thought: "Zhu Yu, the way ahead is blocked, let's go to the outer door!"
Then he grabbed Zhu Houzhao's hand and ran towards the back door of the market like the wind, with Fuso Ronin chasing after him.
The wind was blowing, and two groups of people were practicing the iron kick board with all their strength. The vendors and customers in the market looked at all this indifferently, obviously they were not surprised by this.
Zhu Houzhao and Dagan ran wildly for a while, and found that the footsteps of the pursuing soldiers behind them suddenly disappeared. They couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they finally got rid of these plague gods.
Seeing that the back door of the market was approaching, the two of them strode forward with great joy.
Suddenly, a ghostly voice sounded from the back door of the market, like a voice coming from a tomb.
