Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 12 Picking Herbs

"Eat more if you like it. From now on, mother will cook a lot of delicious food for Bao'er every meal, so as to make Bao'er fat and strong!" Shen Yingshu looked at the expectant smile on Bao'er's face, and felt a little bit in her heart. I can't help feeling sad.

In modern times, many children are not short of food and drink from birth, and the dishes on the table are eaten in different ways, and they have to be chased by their mothers and grandmas before they are willing to eat.

It's not like now... Bao'er, the original owner and some people even have a problem with getting enough to eat.

After Shen Yingshu handed the chopsticks to Bao'er, she picked up a few chopsticks full of mushroom fried meat for Bao'er, "Bao'er eat more, try how mother fried it,"

"Mother, eat more too!" Bao'er happily held a chopstick for Shen Yingshu.

Bao'er's small mouth is stuffed, whether it's soft and sweet white rice, smooth and tender scrambled eggs, or fragrant fried pork with mushrooms, all of them are hard-to-eat delicacies for him.

There used to be eggs at home, and my mother would cook a bowl of egg custard for herself every week or so. Bao'er cherished it and shared it with her mother every time.

There is also the pork on the plate. Bao'er can't remember the last time he ate meat. It seems... It was a bowl of chicken that Grandma Song sent over a few months ago...

Seeing Bao'er eating so deliciously, Shen Yingshu immediately felt that the rice in the bowl was even more delicious.

For the first time, she felt that her craftsmanship was not good enough, and she couldn't use the simplest things to make the most delicious taste like those chefs, otherwise it would definitely make Bao'er eat more delicious.

Shen Yingshu and Bao'er's appetites were still a bit small. After finishing the two bowls of rice, there were still half of the two dishes left on the table.

After thinking about it for a while, these leftover dishes are fried with some mushrooms at night, which is another meal.

In the afternoon, Shen Yingshu was not idle either. There was also a firewood chopping task in the daily tasks, and she just did this task as well.

There is still enough firewood in Shen Yingshu's backyard, except for the firewood that the original owner diligently went to the mountain to pick up, and the firewood sent by the original owner's elder brother Shen Qinglie and younger brother Shen Wangxuan, all of which were piled up in the corner of the firewood room in the front yard.

"Bao'er, stay away, the little scumbags won't crush you."

For the first time chopping wood, Shen Yingshu was still very nervous, holding the machete in her hand trembling slightly.

"Mother, be careful." Bao'er urged worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm sure there will be no accidents!"

Shen Yingshu secretly cheered herself up, and then struck with an axe.

Very good, the chop was crooked, and it didn't even touch the firewood.

Come again!

The second time I cut it, but it was crooked, so make persistent efforts!The third hit, well, it just broke in half!
Shen Yingshu was already smart, so after a few attempts, her movements became more and more proficient. Although the speed was still a bit slow, every piece of firewood was split very evenly.

It took her a full three or four hours to split the two loads of firewood.

"Huh, huh," the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop flowing from the corner of his forehead, Shen Yingshu's whole face was flushed with exhaustion, and he sat on the stool beside him, panting tiredly.

"Bao'er wipes mother's sweat." Bao'er ran forward to wipe Shen Yingshu's sweat with distressed little steps, and wrinkled her little face uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? My little face is so twisted." Shen Yingshu noticed something wrong with Bao'er's expression.

"If only Bao'er could grow up quickly, she would be able to help mother with work, and mother would not have to be so tired..."

"Mother is not tired, Bao'er, remember, you are good mother, and Bao'er is very good, it is great to help mother often..."

I did ideological work for the little guy for a while, and the weather was completely dark.

Shen Yingshu warmed up the leftover dishes at noon, and scrambled an egg fried rice with the rice at noon to settle the dinner.

At night, after Bao'er fell asleep, Shen Yingshu entered the space. She hasn't drawn today's free lottery yet. It's only once a day, so it can't be wasted.

[Host, what do you need, do you need to exchange Ganoderma lucidum?There are a lot of points that can be exchanged~]

"unnecessary,"

Shen Yingshu was a little speechless, she didn't expect that this space would not give up on her Ganoderma lucidum until now.

"I want to draw a lottery,"

【……All right. 】

The familiar lottery board appeared in front of his eyes, Shen Yingshu stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the pointer on the keyboard in front of him turned rapidly.

Shen Yingshu silently prayed in her heart, it must not be a space, it must not be a space, it must not be a space...

Soybeans*5
Maybe it was because the beans were relatively cheap, this time I gave a lot, a full five catties.

The beans don't need to be frozen in the refrigerator. This time, they fell directly on the table beside them. Shen Yingshu picked them up tentatively and felt the weight. It's not bad, it's quite large.

With these soybeans, she can make all kinds of food and sell them.

The next day's daily task is to clean the house and go up to the mountain to pick wild vegetables. It just so happens that Shen Yingshu also plans to go up the mountain to pick herbs today, and sell them in the pharmacy after drying them.

Before going up the mountain, Shen Yingshu hesitated whether to take Bao'er or not.
"Mother, just take me with you, Bao'er will be very obedient and will never run around."

Under Bao'er's insistence, Shen Yingshu had no choice but to agree, but this time she told Bao'er in advance that if she left without saying anything this time, she would definitely not take him up the mountain next time.

Yesterday's weather was not bad, and the light rain the night before last only fell for a while, and the wetland was almost dry.

Shen Yingshu picked the herbal medicine carefully, for fear that if she made a mistake, the medicine would not be accepted if the medicine was not effective enough.

"Mother, what are you picking? It doesn't seem like wild vegetables can't be eaten." Bao'er squatted beside Shen Yingshu, a little confused.

He has eaten wild vegetables since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the appearance of wild vegetables. He can tell that the things Shen Yingshu picks are definitely not wild vegetables.

"Bao'er, this is herbal medicine, it's called Plantain." Shen Yingshu answered Bao'er's question while picking it.

"How does mother know that this is herbal medicine?"

"..." Shen Yingshu paused, that's right, Yuan Lan didn't know herbal medicine, "...Mother also read it in a book when she went to the pharmacy to get medicine last time."

"Mother is amazing."

"What's so great about this, if Bao'er also reads that book, Bao'er will definitely recognize it too. Come on, mother will teach you to recognize plantain..."

"... You can see that the rhizome is short and thick, and the base of the leaves is rosette-shaped. The whole plant can be used for medicinal purposes. This plantago has many functions, such as diuresis, eyesight, and expectorant The effect of..."

Bao'er is very smart, Shen Yingshu explained a little, he understood, and helped Shen Yingshu pick herbs together.

Shen Yingshu used the cover of the carrying basket to secretly put it into the space while picking it up, so that she could pick up a little more, and she didn't have to carry so much.
