Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 11 Picking Wild Vegetables

Time flies, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been three and a half years since Yuxian came to this world.According to the local way of calculating age, Yuxian is already five years old.A child is considered one year old when he is born, even if he was born on the night of the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, he will be two years old on the first day of the first day of the new year.Quite speechless, right?This is called false age.In three and a half years, Xiao Yuxian has grown into a beautiful little girl.Yuxian has not been idle for more than three years. After constant inquiries, especially from her knowledgeable little uncle, Yuxian finally figured out the era she was in.

This is an era unprecedented in history. After the Tang Dynasty, it was completely different from what I remembered.It is said that in the late Tang Dynasty, more than ten years before the Bohai Kingdom was about to be wiped out by Khitan, a strange person suddenly appeared in the Bohai Kingdom.He is erudite and talented, and is good at making all kinds of unprecedented weapons. He established his own power in the court of Bohai Kingdom with thunderous momentum, replacing the original royal family.At this time, the Tang Dynasty in the south had just collapsed, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were about to begin. This capable man moved his army south again, and quickly wiped out Hou Liang and other separatist forces in feudal towns with the speed of a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves.A new dynasty with the great unification of the north and the south was formed, called Huaxia.He ascended the throne and became emperor, and worked hard to promote national integration, especially in the north, where Han culture was further promoted.At the same time, various unprecedented things were launched by him one after another, and what the emperor loved most was to expand the territory.He built a state-of-the-art fleet, went out to sea to find a new continent, and brought back many species that did not exist in China at that time.He also has an iron-blooded army equipped with advanced weapons, which has been fighting westward.At that time, many countries in Europe surrendered to China's majesty.It's a pity that the child born of this war madman is even more fanatical than him in opening up new territories and discovering new continents, and no one is willing to stay behind and stabilize the land he has laid down.In the month that this madman just passed away, forces from inside and outside the imperial court, all the forces in the territory all rebelled.In the end, there were two people who won the world. They took the Yellow River as the boundary and faced each other from the north to the south, forming two dynasties.The madman's sons were killed in the chaos, and all the advanced things created by the madman seemed to be wiped out overnight, leaving only a legend in the long river of history.The northern dynasty was called Cangyu, and the emperor was named Chu, while the southern dynasty was called Fengyun, and the emperor's surname was Dongfang.

When Yu Xian heard about this historical secret, she felt infinitely excited: "It turns out that there are people like me, the madman from the previous dynasty must have traveled through time, and he was able to set off a huge storm in another time and space." Lang Lai is simply too awesome, idol."

The Huaxia Dynasty collapsed in just over sixty years, and the next two dynasties have only been around for more than 130 years.Yuxian's home is located in the northeast of the Cangyu Dynasty. According to my uncle, there is a mountain called Taibai Mountain in the east more than 200 miles away from here, which was called Buxian Mountain in ancient times.Yuxian almost jumped up when she heard this, "Taibai Mountain, wasn't Changbai Mountain called Taibai Mountain in the Sui and Tang Dynasties? It turns out that I have returned to the foot of Changbai Mountain, but it's just farther away." Xiao Yuxian secretly made up her mind In this life, she must find a chance to go to Changbai Mountain to see what Changbai Mountain looks like at this time, and whether it is more majestic than the previous life. No matter how difficult it is, she will realize this wish.

All the doubts were solved, and Yuxian finally understood why there are potatoes, corn, and tobacco in this era. It turned out that the madman's fleet discovered the American continent and brought it back. She thought she had arrived in Ming Dynasty. It's late.Yuxian couldn't help thanking God for her love. If she really traveled to the foot of Changbai Mountain in history, what would the Jurchens be doing at this time?Are you still living a difficult cave life under the oppression of Khitan?Haha, if that's the case, she would rather die again.What a wonderful time and space now. She has a house to live in and clothes to wear. She doesn't want to live in a hole in the ground and live in animal skins.Well, since God has treated her so favorably, sent her such a good time and space, and her parents who love her dearly, and her five elder brothers who love their sisters like crazy, she must live a stable and happy life with her relatives happy day.

The temperature in the Northeast is low, and the solar terms are late. It is already April (April in the lunar calendar), and the farming has not yet started.Grain Rain has passed, and Lixia is coming.The leaves on the mountain have spit out fresh green, and the leaves have not yet fully unfolded, and the whole mountain is a soft color that seems green but not green.Tangli flowers have already bloomed, and Kazuki's pure white flowers are blooming with fragrance. It is a good time to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

"Xiaoxian, my brother is going up to the mountain to pick big leaf celery. Be good at home. When my brother comes back, I will eat cabbage and steamed buns in the evening!" Dalang is already thirteen, and he is very tall, about 1.6 More rice.Because of Mrs. Tong's objection, none of Da Lang could go to school. Boys in their teens were already able to work in the fields for half the labor. Mrs. Tong would not let them go to school, let alone return to school. It is necessary to finish repairing. The 13-year-old Dalang already has the appearance of an adult, with a calmness beyond his age, delicate features, and a handsome young man.

"Brother, I'm going too." Yu Xian hurriedly ran to her brother when she heard that she was going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, "Brother, take me there, I won't make trouble, I can walk by myself, I won't drag you down." Yuxian hasn't gone up to the mountain to see it yet. She was too young last year. This year, she will go to the mountain to see if she can find something useful.

"Little sister, there are trees on the mountain, and it is difficult to walk in the woods. You are too young, you can't do it." Erlang persuaded his sister. "Besides, there are snakes on the mountain. What if I hurt you? Stay at home obediently. Look at how beautiful my little sister is! If you go up the mountain, you will scratch your clothes and mess up your hair. I'm dead." Erlang said softly.

"It's okay, I'm going to change into some old clothes, and my hair is tied up. I'm not afraid of snakes. Second brother, let me go." No matter how much you persuade, Yuxian will follow.

"I said sneak away, as long as you say hello to her, you must follow, and the eldest brother will not listen." The third brother said coolly.Xiao San is nine years old this year, taller and stronger than Da Lang.He loves to dance with guns all day long, and he is very strong. He has learned a lot from Tong Yunsong, and sometimes even Da Lang can't beat him.

"Forget it, let her go, it's boring enough to stay at home all day." It was Da Lang who agreed, and the elder brother spoke, and the rest of the people naturally didn't say anything, but they just devoted more energy to take care of the younger sister.

It is said that it is up the mountain, but in fact it is not a long way. The village is originally in the mountain.After only walking about two miles, we entered a forest.Xiao Yuxian came here for the first time, and she felt fresh when she saw it. Last year's withered grass on the ground has sprouted new leaves, and the fresh green makes people feel refreshed.Yuxian can recognize some of the tall and short trees: the tall trees include red pine, oak, linden, etc., and there are also various shrubs, such as acanthopanax and thorn rose.Wild vegetables grow in clusters under the bushes.Yuxian found that the big leaf celery here is much thicker than the one in the previous life. It should be due to the sparse population and few people picking it, so it naturally grows thicker.There were a lot of celery, and I picked a handful in a short time. Yuxian had small hands and didn't have many celery, so she handed the one in her hand to her second brother.The second elder brother made a bundle of what Yuxian had picked and what he had in his hand, bent down and pulled a file from the ground to bind the celery.This kind of file grass Yuxian also called it pencil grass in her previous life, it can be used to sharpen pencils, it has no leaves, only a segmented scale stem, the top of the stem is like a file, so it is called file grass, and it is also called it The knotweed is usually used to tie wild vegetables.

Yuxian lowered her head to pick celery, and suddenly a lavender flower came into view.Fritillary!It's mother-of-pearl!Yuxian was very happy.Fritillaria is a kind of medicinal material, which is found all over the country. In the northeast, it is called flat Fritillaria, which is a good medicine for treating coughs.There is a medicine called Shedan Chuanbeiye, which is made from the combination of snake gallbladder and Fritillaria.As soon as the fritillary flowers fall, the seedlings will fall, and then it will be difficult to find.Therefore, although it is not yet mature when it blooms, it is generally dug at this time.Now that I have work to do, I can go to the mountains to dig Fritillaria for a while. Although I can't make a fortune, I can still sell some money.Yuxian decided to look for something else, and it really led her to find another herb, Asarum.Also known as fine ginseng, smoke bag pot flower, dispelling wind and cold, promoting water, and relieving pain.It can be used to treat headache, toothache, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.Well, not bad, a small gain.Yuxian decided to let her brothers gather herbs when they have nothing to do. It would be best if they could sell for some money, otherwise they could also pick some spares.

There are many people and strength, and within a short time, a few people picked up three small back baskets. Da Lang said: "Okay, it's almost done, it should be enough for dinner. There are plenty of these things, so we can pick them again if we want to eat." Lead the brothers and sisters to go home.

A few people had just entered the house when they happened to meet the third aunt Zhou coaxing her nearly one-year-old son in the yard. Zhou finally gave birth to a son last year, and the baby was incredible.Mrs. Tong was also very happy. She washed the three majors, not to mention the full moon wine, and forced Tong Yunsong to go up the mountain to hunt a lot of game for the banquet.The child is not yet one year old and has just learned to walk, and Mrs. Tong is even more reluctant to let go, for fear of falling.I don't know what I'm doing now, it's Mrs. Zhou who is looking after the child. "Yo, Da Lang is back with the big leaf celery. There are still a lot! I just told your grandma later, cut some meat and wrap the big leaf celery buns to eat. This is a new thing!" , is the local dialect.

Da Lang didn't say anything, he found a shady place to put down the back basket, and went into the house to find his mother.Mrs. Fang was mending Tong Yunsong's clothes in the house. Spring plowing was about to begin, and she was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat, so she took advantage of these two days to find out all the clothes and tidy them up. "Mother, we are back." Yuxian ran to her mother and said happily, "Mother, we have picked a lot of big leaf celery. Can we make buns at night?"

Fang smiled and said: "Your brothers picked it, it's good if you don't make trouble." He reached out and took a small straw stick from her daughter's head. "Go and get the comb, mother will comb your hair again, Dalang, you guys also go and wash your face, all of you are ashamed."

In the evening, I really ate Da Yeqin's steamed stuffed bun, but it was not the meat I went to buy, but a piece of sauced meat that the old lady took out from the sauce tank.The sauce is about to be made, and the meat in the sauce jar will be cleared out.

"Boss daughter-in-law, the day after tomorrow is the eighth day of April. It's time to make sauce. Tomorrow, I will clean up the sauce primer and fry the beans." The three daughters-in-law counted the delicious sauce made by the eldest daughter-in-law. The taste made by the daughter-in-law is not good.

"Hey, mother, I'll make it tomorrow." Fang promised, she still dare not eat the sauce made by others.
