Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 37

The days are short in winter, but it's like three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun has already started to get dark. Also, who told Zhao Yiyi and their house to face east!As the sun goes west, the light gets worse.Zhao Yiyi closed the door of the cave, and slowly cleaned up the deer in the house, first put the deer blood on it, she was making deer blood wine, people at this time knew about deer, besides eating meat, Just pay more attention to deer antler and deer whip, and other things are not so detailed. After all, there are not so few deer at this time, and the medical science has not yet been fully perfected, so if some things are really put on the mountain for sale, it may not be possible. What better price to sell, it's better to eat it by yourself and strengthen your body, and Zhao Yiyi even wants to sell what she can't use to the shop directly, but she remembers that in modern society, a deer must have all its tail , can buy tens of thousands of yuan!Although this is a wild animal, it is a protected animal and cannot be sold as a whole, but now Zhao Yiyi has a way to sell it separately, not the key parts!For example, deer penis, deer antler, deer tendon and so on, and the others can be eaten directly by themselves.

Since she bought the basic pharmacology, among other things, she knows all these taboos, such as deer heart, deer liver, deer belly, deer blood, and she really can't make mistakes!Even how to make venison, I know very well.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Zhao Dahu watched his sister compare the deer blood with a jar of wine for a while, took about one-tenth of the deer blood from the jar, wrapped it in a cloth, soaked it in the jar, and could not help but twitch his nose. A look of doubts.He didn't understand, with this pig's blood in the past, didn't my sister say to make blood sausage or something, why is this different?He still wants to eat it!

"You! I don't understand. This deer's blood can be used to make deer's blood wine. The waist and legs are not good. If you are weak, you can eat it. I will soak some of it to make up for your brother-in-law in the future. He walks in the mountains all year round, isn't it? Snow is the same as rain, the wind and the sun, and those wounds, which have been accumulated over the years, how much less blood is on the body than ordinary people! It is the most harmful to the body. In previous years, what we ate was hungry and full. If we don’t take good care of it , the disease will get worse in the future, when you go back, bring some to your home, keep it for a month or two, let your mother drink some, take a sip a day, wait until the drink is finished, and keep your body strong Very, but you can’t drink it for the time being, if you’re under 20 years old, you’ll be too angry if you drink this stuff, and you’ll get nosebleeds and body dryness instead.”

Zhao Yiyi continued with the work in hand, and told Zhao Dahu what he knew in as simple a way as possible. Since this kid wants to learn to hunt, he should know more about some things, so as not to waste it by hunting deer in the future.

"But, sister, where did this wine come from? It smells really strong, I've never seen it before."

It's not like I haven't seen it before, this is Erguotou, but Zhao Yiyi can't say that, so I can only find a reason,
"This is specially bought by your brother-in-law and steamed several times by himself. Hunting is the most prone to injury. If the injury is not well healed, the wound will rot, but it will kill people. The stronger the wine is, the more it is washed. The better the wound, the less likely it is to rot. This is a method handed down from your brother-in-law's family. Don't tell it. If people ask, you will say that it is old wine that has been placed for many years. That's why it is so strong. Do you know? ?”

"Understood, I'm smart about this! I'm not stupid, it's a matter of saving my own good things."

Zhao Dahu rolled his eyes, dissatisfied that his sister underestimated him, but he worshiped his brother-in-law more and more in his heart. Since his sister became a relative, he realized that there are so many things to eat in this world. There are so many things to do, and so many profitable things to do.To him, this brother-in-law seems to have replaced his father's position in a certain way, pointing out a bright and smooth path for his life.Give him a purpose to learn from, to follow.

"Then this deer blood is enough? Do you need anything else?"

"This is the simplest, and there are other medicines. But it's not that we don't have any medicinal materials at the moment. Even if we have medicinal materials, it will cost money, and the effect is quite good. Why waste the money for medicines? What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Seeing his younger brother's thoughtful face, Zhao Yiyi couldn't help asking, Zhao Dahu's face was serious,
"I was thinking, sister, you said that this deer blood wine is nourishing, and it is most useful for people with bad waist and legs. Is there another way to make this wine good for other diseases? Like rheumatism or something, it sounds like this. Works about the same."

When Zhao Yiyi heard this, she gasped inwardly. This kid actually has such a talent for medicine. He saw the key here at a glance. He was very happy, and hurriedly said:
"That's natural. If you focus on nourishing, then it's better to add some ginseng, wolfberry, cistanche, rehmannia, etc. to this wine; Deer blood wine that nourishes qi and blood, warms the stomach and dispels cold. This is the most commonly used, but it is more expensive and troublesome. Stir-fry Atractylodes atractylodis, deer horn glue, clove, epimedium, safflower, sugar, plus wine, deer blood. There are 17 herbs in total. Indications: Qi and blood deficiency, fatigue, stomach cold pain, loss of appetite. Just like this Most of them are used by rich people. For people like us, it is already very good to have whole blood wine. If you are active, you will naturally be in good health!"

When Zhao Yiyi said this, she turned around and pointed to other parts of the deer to show Zhao Dahu. They were all the same, and every function was explained very clearly.

"No wonder the mountain deer is so expensive! It can be used as a tonic, so it is more valuable. Sis, if this is the case, wouldn't everything be complete if we hunted more deer!"

"Nonsense, isn't it? How can there be so many deer for you to kill? What will you do after you kill them all? Besides, each has its own effect. The wild boar has the benefits of the wild boar, and the roe has the effect of the roe. Last time your brother-in-law shot Roe deer, the musk is sold at a high price, and it is also a good medicinal material! Otherwise, where can I buy new bows and arrows? It is those medicinal materials that are like flowers and plants. Didn’t you follow your brother-in-law to recognize a lot? We mountain people, Relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, there are treasures in the mountains, it depends on whether you know them or not, as long as you know a lot, you can maintain the natural balance in the mountains, so that these animals and plants will never fail, then the mountains can also be nourished from generation to generation looking at you."

Is this environmental protection education in disguise?Or incentive?Want Zhao Dahu to learn more?Zhao Yiyi couldn't figure it out for a while, anyway, she told her younger brother according to her own understanding, and hoped that her younger brother would know more in the future, so that life would be easier.

"Sister, you understand a lot now!"

It was rare to see her younger brother staring at her like a star. Zhao Yiyi couldn't help but straighten her back slightly, and proudly said:
"That's right, I'm also very good."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing, and then directed Zhao Dahu to help continue tossing the deer blood. Except for the whole jar, which was nearly 30 catties, there was really not much deer blood left, after all In this jar of wine, just put 3 catties of deer blood wine, how much blood can a deer have?How much was sprinkled along the way?So Zhao Yiyi thought about it, and simply put all the remaining blood into the wine jar. Anyway, the book said, 10% to 15%, so it's not wrong, isn't it.

As the saying goes!Eat what you lack, eat what you eat, and make up for it. The deer heart is good for the stomach, and the venison is better for the body. Zhao Yiyi doesn't want to let it go. They hung up the internal organs, scalded them with boiling water, put them away, and then began to cook dinner. While cooking, they also popularized some medical knowledge to Zhao Dahu.

"Venison stewed with astragalus and jujube is the most warming and tonifying human qi and blood. It is suitable for insufficient qi and blood, deficiency of qi, or postpartum lack of milk. Venison Eucommia soup: take venison to nourish kidney yang, benefit essence and blood, use Eucommia invigorates the liver and kidneys, strengthens the bones and muscles. It is most effective for sore backs, weak ankles, and frequent urination due to yang deficiency. Clove venison is even better. It warms the spleen and stomach, cures cold abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, dental caries, and bad breath. You are very clean Yes, no bad breath, no use, hee hee. It’s just that this thing has taboos, it’s not suitable to be eaten with pheasants, fish and shrimps, and pubai. Big tiger, you will also spend your days in the mountains in the future. It’s good to know more about these things , Even if it is something that cannot be sold for a while, you can mix it up at home to make yourself better! Orion must not only be able to draw a bow and archery, but also know more about medicine. I’ve made a lot of money? Walking around in the mountains, I know what to do when I get sick, right? It’s not easy for us to find a doctor here. If my father felt that his health was not good, he would have found a good doctor at the beginning. We won’t leave so early. We have to remember this lesson. It’s better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. You know a lot and you’re the safest! Besides, your brother-in-law lives better than ordinary hunters because of him I know a lot, even if I don’t understand some, I also know that I should learn as soon as possible, so that I can pass the better!"

Talking about his father, Zhao Dahu couldn't help lowering his head, no, he lived happily when he had his father, but when his father was sick, the house was in chaos, the doctor also said that his father was overworked and his body Deficiency, this is a minor illness that has become a serious illness, and there is no cure!Look now!My father is dead, my sister is married, and only my mother and myself are left in the family. It is so deserted that sometimes it makes people want to cry.

"Sister, teach me. I will learn what to do to keep my body the best. My father is gone. I want my mother to be healthy."

With firm eyes and a serious expression, Zhao Dahu looked at his sister fixedly, Zhao Yiyi felt sore when he saw it, and nodded.
