Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 179

In the process of chatting with everyone, Han Li did not forget to explain the prevention of some diseases, as well as the efficacy, taboos and preparation methods of common local herbal medicines.

Speaking of herbal medicine, everyone discussed the effects of some folk remedies, and Han Li wrote down all those that he felt were effective.

But when this person chatted a lot, it was easy to turn corners, and someone brought a sentence, and the topic in the room gradually started to go wrong, and some people couldn't even care about the soles of their shoes.

As soon as certain topics were discussed, the entire clinic was immediately filled with laughter. Listening to everyone's chat, Han Li didn't know why his thoughts drifted back to when he first arrived in Shanghe Village.

Han Li did not forget the hot summer this year, especially when working in the fields, people would feel even more unbearably hot.

However, Han Li thought of the situation that everyone said just now that the well platform was frozen, which made him want to find a way to store more ice during this season.

When the sun is scorching outside next summer, I will put a lot of ice cubes in my room to cool down, and I will have a glass of iced sour plum soup in my hand, it will feel so refreshing.

These two ways of relieving summer heat can take ice from creeks and brooks, because it does not matter whether it is dry or not clean.

Generally, when others need to fetch ice until [-] or [-], the ice in the river will be the hardest and thickest, and then use iron drills and ice drills to drill vertically on the ice surface to the size of ice cubes needed, and then Hook it up with a barb, tie it with a rope and drag it into the ice cellar dug in advance.

Taking ice in this way is not only hard work but also dangerous, but Han Li has disassembled this golden finger. From outsiders' point of view, taking ice which is tedious and tedious is just a matter of waving his hands.

The small river at the entrance of the village is too conspicuous, and the children will definitely go there to skate and play after the water freezes, so it is not convenient for him to do it here, but fortunately, there are various small streams and pools nearby, which can be used for him. There are too many places to get ice.

When Han Li was here, he remembered that he still had a problem to face. If he was the only one, there would be no concept of time to decompose space. Simple.

But now he has a partner, and he is accompanied by his sister-in-law, so some of these ice cubes need to be known to them.

Then Han Li needs to dig out an ice cellar in the yard, and then store the ice cubes in it, so that he can use it with the ice cubes in the decomposition space to hide it from the two sisters of the Yun family.

Most of the better ice cellars are arched ice cellars built underground with bricks and stones, and a small door will be built next to it to facilitate ice extraction in hot weather.

But ordinary people’s homes just dig a deep pit, put ice cubes from the river into it, cover it with a layer of straw or mat, and then bury it deeply with soil.

The bricks and stones were too troublesome, so Han Li planned to simply dig a pit to bury the ice, so that nothing would be visible on the ground.

When it is used in summer, make a small door from the side to take it out a little bit, so as not to let the ice inside melt too quickly.

But this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, the weather is not too cold, and it is not convenient for people to come and go here every day.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the river will be completely frozen, and the road will be blocked by heavy snow. It will not be too late to do this when everyone stays at home. Anyway, it is relatively simple to dig a big hole in the ground with a golden finger.

However, this matter can only be done secretly and enjoyed secretly in the coming year. If someone who is interested knows and reports it, a hat of greedy enjoyment will be firmly put on Han Li's head. That is definitely not what he wants.

In addition, Han Li also planned to let the Yun family sisters boil some boiling water to make ice. This kind of ice can be made into edible ice cubes and smoothies in the coming year, and everyone will feel better when they eat it.

When Han Li's thoughts were floating in the sky, Yun Yingying walked over with a distressed face.

"What's the matter? Could it be that you lost a game of cards?"

Yun Yingying: "No, the squirrel we caught ran away just now."

"Just run away. I'll help you catch a litter another day. Just remember to close the door of the cage."

"It's not that I didn't close the door properly, it's that the squirrel bit the cage and ran away."

It was only then that Han Li remembered that the teeth of squirrels and mice grow very fast, and they feel uncomfortable when their teeth are too long, so they need to bite things frequently to grind their teeth. It is not uncommon for a squirrel to chew through a railing and escape.

"It's okay. Next time we catch a squirrel, we'll make the cage thicker and feed it more hickory molars. If it still doesn't work, we'll cut its teeth every once in a while, just like cutting nails."

After listening to this, Yun Yingying was stunned and asked, "Can squirrels still have their teeth cut?"

"Why not, it's like cutting off your nails so you can't scratch my back, but if you can't do it, let me do it after you catch the squirrel."

After Yun Yingying heard this, she gave Han Li a good-looking roll of her eyes, revealing her upper and lower rows of small white teeth and rubbed each other. However, her appearance was not fierce at all, but it reminded Han Li of the first time he voted for her. when eating.

At this time, the door of the clinic was pushed open, and Aunt Zhang entered the room from the outside, covered in wind and snow, and spoke.

"Let me tell you something I just heard. The donkey in Xiaohe village died suddenly for some reason. Some in their village talked about dividing the meat, and some said selling it for money. Now they are arguing about how to deal with the donkey. "

"Aunt Zhang, is that the donkey that was bitten by the wolf last time? Hasn't it been cured? Why did it die suddenly?"

Aunt Zhang: "I don't know this, but last time the villagers were killed by wolves and the chickens have not been compensated. Many members of their village said that they bought the dead donkeys and exchanged them for money. Let everyone buy the chicks first. In this way, they will be raised for one winter and then they will be able to lay eggs next spring."

"Could it be that their village deliberately killed the donkey in order to buy chicks?"

"No way? How much are two chickens, and the donkey is the property of the public. Who has the guts?"

"It's hard to say. The people in Xiaohe Village have always been bad. It's not unusual for some of them to do such a thing."

"Then let's go and see what's going on. In case they buy it, let's see if we can get some bargains."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up. I'll go home and put away the sewing basket. We'll meet at the entrance of the village later."

These sisters-in-law and aunts are mainly to watch the fun, and the old men in the family can get some meat back if they order diligently, so they really don't necessarily buy the meat unless the price is too cheap.

At this time, Aunt Zhang said to Han Li, "Educated Youth Han, do you want to go? My aunt has relatives in Xiaohe Village. If their village buys donkey meat, I can help you get some good meat."

Although he talked about dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground, Han Li was not very interested in this donkey meat, mainly because he didn't know the cause of its death, but if the donkey skin was cheap, he could buy it and boil some donkey-hide gelatin. Whether it is Han Ma, Han Jie, or the Yun family sisters, they are all enough.

"Aunt Zhang, then I'll go with you to have a look. It doesn't matter if you buy donkey meat or not, but I'm quite interested in that donkey skin. If they want to sell it in their village, please ask Aunt Zhang to lower the price for me."

Those who hadn't left the house heard that Han Li wanted to buy donkey skins, so someone tried to persuade him.

"What do you want that thing for? If you have that money, you can go to the market to buy two wolf skins."

Han Li smiled and said, "I don't want this donkey skin to be used for making leather. I plan to use it as a medicine primer."

After he said this, everyone fell silent, and they all went home to set up their sewing frames and prepared to go to Xiaohe Village to watch the excitement.

Han Li locked the door of the bathroom, and the two of them came to the yard together.

Yun Yingying: "You don't want to buy donkey skin because you want to boil donkey-hide gelatin?"

"Our family, Yingying, is smart. She guessed what I wanted to do right away, but you and your sister have a share in this Ejiao."

"I'm young and vigorous so I don't need to eat this."

"Donkey-hide gelatin can replenish blood. Eat less to make up for your monthly losses."

"Oh, why are you talking about everything?"

"What, what, I just want your body to look great, what's wrong with that?"

After the two walked into the house, Hao Hongmei, Yang Xiuying, and Yun Jingjing were playing cards, but when they heard that they were going to watch the fun, Yang Xiuying put away the cards in her hand. It looks like today The loser is her again.

Everyone smiled and looked at Yang Xiuying, but instead of being embarrassed at all, she said it with confidence.

"This period of time is almost suffocating me. Now that there is excitement to watch, shouldn't we be more active? I'll go back and change my shoes before we go."

After Yang Xiuying finished speaking, she ran out quickly. Hao Hongmin and the Yun family sisters smiled and went home to change their shoes.

When Han Li changed his shoes and walked out of the street, there were quite a few people outside to watch the fun together.

Almost everyone who got the news would go. It seems that everyone was suffocated in the house during this time.

Wu Lili held Yang Xiuying's arm and stood with Hao Hongmin and the others, and the rest of the people would gather in twos and threes to talk.

When they saw the same people, they all walked towards the entrance of the village together. At this time, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi approached Han Li.

"How is Miss Qi studying these two days?"

Qi Zhaodi: "Brother Han, I have already learned the textbook for the first grade of junior high school."

"Then you have to keep working hard. When you've finished your studies, I'll find someone to give you a replacement diploma."

"Thank you, Brother Han."

He Mi asked in a low voice at this time: "I heard Yingying said that you want to buy that donkey skin to make donkey-hide gelatin?"

"Yes."

"Then let's buy this donkey skin together. After you finish the finished product, just share it with me. I just need donkey-hide gelatin to make a prescription."

Han Li knew that He Mi's knowledge of ancient prose was very high, and he was not surprised that she had several prescriptions in her hand, so he said bluntly.

"It's the first time I've made donkey-hide gelatin. I don't know how much donkey-hide gelatin can be produced from a donkey skin, but no matter how much I can produce, I will use it for you first,"
