Chapter 230 The sinister uncle

Seeing that the quarrel was almost over and it was getting dark, Zhou Rui said slowly: "You don't have to envy us. There is only a small area of ​​yams here, and there is still a large area of ​​land on the mountain that has not been dug!"

Everyone couldn't believe it, "Ah! You didn't lie to us!"

"Why are you lying to me? There are four or five yams under one vine. These yams don't require much digging at all."

"Oh! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If we had told you earlier, we could have gone to the mountain to dig it back. Now that the black panther is coming out today, we have to wait until tomorrow morning to dig it back in the mountain."

A large group of people all yelled and coaxed them all to leave.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen were left standing there smiling and saying nothing.

Her uncle (Uncle Zhou) is a bit sinister!
Zhou Rui saw them and smiled: "Xiaojia, Your Highness, why didn't you come into the house when you came back?"

Shen Jia handed the pheasant in his hand to him: "We have just returned."

Zhou Rui didn't care about these little things, "Go in and sit down for a while. I'll kill the chicken first."

After Shen Jia told him how to make pheasant and yam soup, he ignored it.

The two sat down in the hall. Seeing that the three cousins ​​were a little embarrassed, Shen Jia gently twisted Xiao Yichen's arm.

Today, the century-old wild ginseng with its big thorns was placed in the basket. They didn't even blink when they saw it. Mrs. Yao even asked her if she wanted to help cook it. This shows that their conduct is still good.

Maybe it was because his uncle's genes were too strong. The three cousins ​​all looked like his uncle. Shen Jia felt very close to them as soon as he saw them and naturally didn't want their studies to be delayed.

Since he is her cousin and his character is pretty good, he must find a way to help them.

After Xiao Yichen received Shen Jia's signal, he began to test their knowledge.

The three Zhou Sizheng brothers were a little uncomfortable at first and had to stumble with their answers. Later, as they gradually became familiar with each other, they answered fluently.

Shen Jia didn't understand the Four Books and Five Classics, so he discussed these and sat aside to watch.

Half an hour later, Mr. Yao came to ask them to eat, and Xiao Yichen secretly nodded to Shen Jia.

The knowledge of the three Zhou brothers is pretty good. Especially Zhou Sizheng, his knowledge is very good, but he lacks experience and is somewhat vague in terms of policy and theory. He is not as sharp as Shen Hao. When he sees more outside in the future, his thinking will naturally improve, and he is a talent that can be developed.

Seeing this, Shen Jia finally felt relieved.

As night fell, the stars were shining brightly, and Mrs. Yao lit candles. Their dinner tonight was eaten by candlelight.

Shen Jia did not bring out the night pearl. The money and silk were so attractive that if the villagers saw it, it would bring disaster to Zhou Rui and the others.

Two pheasants and three yams were used to cook a large pot of pheasant and yam soup. Everyone was full of the tender pheasant meat, soft and glutinous yams, and sweet and delicious soup.

After eating, everyone chatted in the yard.

"Auntie, all these raw yams can be made into dried yam. Dried yam has the effects of strengthening the spleen, lungs, qi, diuresis, nourishing yin, anti-aging, whitening and beauty. Dried yam can also be made into soup and boiled Porridge can also be ground into powder to make pancakes, and even babies a few months old can eat rice cereal made from yam and rice."

"Oh! Okay." Mrs. Yao heard Shen Jia call her aunt, and her voice was trembling with excitement.

Yao is a typical northern woman, 1.7 meters tall, with three-dimensional facial features and rough skin. She was also a beauty when she was young.

Although Shen Jia is young, she is the protector of the country and her words carry a certain weight. She must be happy that her aunt recognizes her!
Shen Jia waited for her to get excited before saying: "First wash the yam, then cut it into half-foot lengths, and then steam the yam on the sieve for a while. Remove the skin of the yam. Steamed yam is easier to peel. It will not turn black. Cut the yam into slices, place it on a bamboo plaque and dry it in the sun. It will dry in a few days. Store the dried yam in a clay pot. It is very convenient to take out some when you want to eat it. "

Yao listened attentively and nodded frequently. After seeing that she understood, Shen Jia went to wash up and go to sleep. The next day, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen got up early in the morning and went into the mountains without even eating breakfast.

Yesterday's big harvest left both of them still unfinished.

The two people's luck was really not that good. In addition to looking for the medicinal materials that Qi Shen Jia wanted to make poison, they also found a 500-year-old ginseng tree in a mountain depression.

Because they wanted to give Zhou Rui acupuncture, they went back when they were in Shen.

While Shen Jia was giving Zhou Rui acupuncture, Xiao Yichen began to clean the medicinal materials they had collected in the past two days. Zhou Sizheng and his brothers wanted to step forward to help wash the medicinal materials, but Xiao Yichen refused.

Many of these medicinal materials are poisonous, and if you don't handle them properly, you will be poisoned.

Seeing his refusal, Zhou Sizheng had no choice but to do some work of pouring water for him on the side, and his affection for Xiao Yichen gradually increased.

It is really commendable that such a noble person should roll up his sleeves to clean medicinal materials for his sister.

After Shen Jia used the needle and came out, Xiao Yichen had already washed the medicinal materials and dried them.

After Shen Jia prepared all the good medicinal materials that needed to be prepared, it was already dark.

Zhou Sizheng had already bought the alchemy furnace and the small porcelain vase for her.

Shen Jia spent a whole day and night making the pills and poison.

She gave Zhou Rui a good pill refined in Lingnan and several small bottles of intoxicating pills, Yao a bottle of beauty pills, and Grandma Gan a bottle of Yangrong pills.

Zhou Rui and others were reluctant to accept it at first, but after Shen Jia analyzed the pros and cons for them, they accepted it.

After a day's rest, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen decided to return to Huangshaling from where they came.

Shen Jia took five thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Zhou Rui, "Uncle, I have sent a letter to my father. After you return to Beijing, you will go directly to the Protector's Mansion. It will take more than 20 days to return to Beijing by carriage from here. Keep these banknotes with you."

Zhou Rui pushed her and refused, "Uncle has money, you can keep it for your dowry."

Shen Jia handed him the banknote, "This is from my niece as a tribute to you. Just accept it!"

Zhou Rui's eyes were filled with mist, that's all! Just accept it!

When Shen Jia saw that he accepted, he said goodbye to them and left the small mountain village.

After they left, Zhou Rui also began to pack up his gifts and take a carriage back to Beijing.

Grandma Gan initially refused to go to the capital with them, but Zhou Rui agreed after some coaxing.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen returned to the cliff and found no trace of the assassins. It seems that the assassins did not search here.

The two of them searched for assassins in the rolling mountains. When they were hungry, they ate wild fruits, roasted pheasants, rabbits and goats. Sometimes they slept in caves and sometimes on big trees at night. After nearly twenty days, they harvested three crops. After a hundred and ninety people, I decided to walk out.

They directly used Qinggong to reach the Huangsha Ridge where they were ambushed. They whistled and two horses came running over.

Dabai rubbed his head against Shen Jia's hand and flicked his tail to express his happiness.

Seeing this, the big black horse imitated Da Bai and nuzzled Xiao Yichen, but Xiao Yichen pushed it away in disgust, making Shen Jia laugh.
