Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 123 Mulberries
Xue Xiaohuaxiu kept explaining, as if he wanted to prove that he was really just sending something.

Moreover, she has no shortage of these things at home and will not affect the family's food.

However, how could Wen Xian not see that this girl sent these things because of the lunch meal.

She said helplessly: "No merit, no reward. Xiaohua, please take your things back. We have no shortage of food here."

At present, there is indeed no shortage.As for the future, waiting for Zhu Qing to come back will naturally be enough.

It turns out that Zhu Qing came back much later than originally expected, and she was a little worried about whether there was an accident.

But everything can only be done after Zhu Qing comes back. She has no choice now.

"Who said there is no merit? There is some." Xue Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said numbly, "Sister Wen, I want to learn cooking skills from you, is that okay?"

She knew that some crafts were not passed on to others, like her family's carpentry work.

Although she learned a lot from the meal just now, she didn't ask any questions that she shouldn't have.

For example, she didn't ask what kind of powder was used in cooking or what those granular things were.

But Sister Wen is really awesome, and the dishes she cooks all taste like she has never tasted before.

Moreover, Sister Wen also made delicious dishes that were inedible in her eyes in the past.

After eating at Sister Wen's house, she felt that what she had eaten in the past was simply unpalatable.

"Yes, of course." Wen Xian said without hesitation, "Actually, your fifth sister is a serious chef, and she can also teach you. Let her show you the seasonings first, and we will go up the mountain to find them together later. Look around and see if there are any of these spices on the mountains here."

She asked Fang Jiaren to take Xue Xiaohua to the kitchen to look for the seasonings, but did not ask Xue Xiaohua to take the things away.Instead, he put the things aside and treated them as food expenses paid by Xue Xiaohua.

Xue Xiaohua often comes to the house, so she just wants to keep Xue Xiaohua for a few more meals.

After identifying the seasonings available at home, it was still early, so Wen Xian took Fang Jiaren and Xue Xiaohua and went up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs to find seasonings.

Unfortunately, it is only early spring, and many condiments are still growing, so it is difficult to find them.

But Wen Xian dug a lot of yams on the road, and even found taro, and Xue Xiaohua also dug a lot.

Look, the things I dug up with Sister Wen were many times more than what she sent over.Therefore, she felt really uneasy if she didn't send some food.

Walking all the way into the mountains, I have unknowingly traveled to the farthest place I have ever been.

Seeing this, Xue Xiaohua quickly said: "Sister Wen and Fifth Sister, you can't go any further inside."

We are already deep in the mountains, and if we go further in, we may be in danger.

"No?" Fang Jiaren asked in confusion, "Where are we now? Many good things can only be found deep in the mountains. If you don't go into the mountains on weekdays, all the things inside will be wasted."

If you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea.They know how to eat seafood, but they don’t know how to get mountain products.

Fang Jiaren didn't understand that he only guarded a treasure mountain and didn't know how to make good use of the things in the mountain to improve his life.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Wen Xian guiltily.After all, Wen Xian taught them this truth, otherwise they would still have the same view as Xue Xiaohua.

But after experiencing actual operations on Death Island, they truly realized what it means to rely on the mountains to rely on the mountains and rely on the sea to rely on the sea.

Xue Xiaohua sneered and said, "Then you have to live to eat it, Fifth Sister."

If you encounter wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, you may not have time to escape, so why rely on the mountains to rely on them?

Even if the hunters from the village come to the mountains, they won't stay too long.

Wen Xian glanced at her and said with unclear meaning: "Don't worry, follow me, you'll be safe." She didn't know who instilled these things into Xue Xiaohua, but after all, she still planned to see what was here. Why can't you come in?

Xue Xiaohua had no choice but to follow Wen Xian step by step, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

If anything happened, she would take Wen Xian and Fang Jiaren away as soon as possible.

She was actually very scared, but on the one hand she believed in Wen Xian, and on the other hand she was actually curious.

In fact, the mountains on Sun Island are really richer in products than the mountains on Death Island.

Before walking a few steps, Wen Xian discovered something unexpected, a mulberry.

Spring comes early in Sun Island, and the mulberries in the mountains grow quickly.Not long after, the trees were filled with black and red fruits.

Wen Xian excitedly picked a big black mulberry and threw it into her mouth. Then, a satisfied smile broke out at the corner of her mouth.

She raised her hand to greet Fang Jiaren and Xue Xiaohua: "Come here quickly, you guys can try it too, these mulberries are so sweet."

Since it exists here, it probably exists on Death Island as well.It's just that they went at the wrong time, so they didn't meet.

"Ah~" Xue Xiaohua's pupils shrank and she screamed, "Sister Wen, sister Wen, your mouth and tongue are black. Sister Wen, are you poisoned?"

She looked panicked and didn't know what to do.

Her scream scared Fang Jiaren to the point where she almost lost her grip on the mulberry in her hand.

Wen Xian said speechlessly: "What kind of poison is it? The mulberries are black."

She directly stuffed a mulberry into Xue Xiaohua's mouth, letting Xue Xiaohua truly feel the taste of the mulberry.

After Fang Jiaren ate a mulberry, she gave Xue Xiaohua a popular science guide: "Mulberry nourishes the liver, nourishes the kidneys, calms wind, and nourishes fluids. It can cure liver and kidney yin deficiency, quench thirst, constipation, dark eyes, tinnitus, scrofula, and joint problems." .

It can not only be eaten as a fruit, but also a medicine, and can also be used to make mulberry wine. "

When her grandfather was alive, he drank mulberry wine.She even drank secretly, but unfortunately the wine was too strong and she couldn't drink too much.

Wen Xian added: "The founding of the country was filled with confusion about silkworm bushes and yufu. In Shu, the mulberry leaves on mulberry trees were also used to raise silkworms, and silkworm cocoons were obtained to make brocade. It can be said that the mulberry trees are full of treasures."

Not a leaf is white, and not a mulberry is white.

Xue Xiaohua came back to her senses and recalled the taste of mulberries, and then said in confusion: "Raising silkworms? What are silkworms? I have never heard of them. And I don't know where the land of Shu is."

She has never been out of the island since she was a child. She has only heard about the world outside the island, but does not know what it is like outside the island.

Even the things needed at home were brought from outside the island by Mr. Qing.

"Sichuan is in the southwest, and we are in the northeast now." Wen Xian explained in a gentle tone, "The outside world is very big. If you leave the island one day, you can go and see it."

She actually couldn't understand some things on Sun Island, like Xue Carpenter's family.His family's conditions were pretty good, so why did Carpenter Xue never take Xue Xiaohua out of the island.

There is no school on the island, and none of the children in the village go to school.Not to mention literacy.

Most of them are illiterate, or rely on word of mouth to learn to write their names from each other.

In short, there are very few literate people on Sun Island.But Carpenter Xue and Xiaohua Xue are literate, and so are the village chief's family.

As for other families, she didn't know them well, so she didn't know.
