Chapter 159

In ancient society, there were no greenhouses for vegetables. In the cold winter, it was not easy to grow vegetables. At that time, fresh vegetables such as cabbage, radish, and potatoes were very expensive, and only wealthy families could afford them. As for poor people, what did they eat? ?What they eat are dried vegetables that are sun-dried in spring and summer. In spring and summer, vegetables such as eggplant, beans, pumpkin, wax gourd, and bitter gourd are all born. Dried vegetables can be eaten in winter when there are no vegetables, or made into pickles.

Dried vegetables, Zhong's has done before, but other people's home is drying eggplant, beans, wax gourd, pumpkin and so on, Zhong's is drying wild vegetables, for example, in spring, when shepherd's purse grows wildly in the mountains, Zhong's will Shepherd's purse is dug up and dried in the sun. When food is scarce in winter, the dried vegetable is soaked and used to make soup.

In the past, Yan Shuqin ate a lot of soup boiled with wild vegetables. She still remembered the slightly bitter taste.

When Yan Xiaosi explained it this way, she believed it.

"The soup made from wild vegetables is so delicious. We had nothing to eat at the time, so Mother had no choice but to cook soup for us with wild vegetables."

Looking back on the hardships of the past, both Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue showed a hint of pain on their faces.

Seeing the painful expressions of the two, Yan Xiaosi said: "Eldest sister, second sister, the hard days are over, so don't think about it any more. Dried wild mushrooms are different from dried wild vegetables. I heard from Brother Da Zhuang that some The restaurant likes to use dried wild mushrooms to make big bone soup, there are so many wild mushrooms in the mountains, let’s pick some more and dry them, maybe we can sell them in the town.”

Hearing that wild mushrooms can be sold for money, the two sisters Yan Shuqin looked at each other, their eyes brightened.

Yan Shuqin confirmed excitedly, "Little Four, did Brother Big Zhuang really tell you that?"

Yan Xiaosi waved his hands and replied: "Eldest sister, I have a good memory, I won't remember wrongly, you and second sister wash some more wild mushrooms, use them to cook for mother, I will go to the mountain stream to wash the herbs, and come back Paint it on you."

After saying hello to Yan Shuqin, she carried the herbs and walked towards the nearby mountain stream.

When I arrived at the mountain stream, I washed several kinds of medicinal herbs in the mountain stream first, then put the medicinal herbs on a clean stone slab, and then picked up a smooth cobblestone to crush the medicinal herbs.

Several kinds of herbs were crushed into gray mud. She then took out the medicinal powder that she had taken from the space earlier, poured it on the gray medicinal mud, stirred it with her hands, and then wrapped the medicinal mud with leaves.

The white medicinal powder was blended into the medicinal mud, and she couldn't see it at all, so she took it and walked back to the cave.

Back in the cave, Mrs. Zhong was cooking, and a smell of fried pork with wild mushrooms wafted out of the cave.

"It's so delicious, eldest sister, second sister, our mother's cooking skills are really getting better and better, I think they can be compared to the cooks in restaurants."

Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue were still cleaning up those wild mushrooms at the entrance of the cave, and when they heard Yan Xiaosi's words, they nodded in agreement.

Yan Xiaosi took the medicinal paste and walked to Yan Shuqin's side, squatted down, rolled up her trouser legs, and found that the redness and swelling were worse than at noon, and the entire ankle was swollen.

"Sister, your ankle is a little swollen, I have to give you two needles and then apply medicine, so that it will heal faster."

He went to the cave, took an embroidery needle, baked it on the wick, and then needled Yan Shuqin.

After a few injections, the redness and swelling of Yan Shuqin's ankle improved a lot, and the swelling was obviously not as severe as before.

Yan Shuqin moved her ankle, and it didn't hurt as much as before.

She looked at Yan Xiaosi in surprise and regret.

"Xiao Si, your medical skills are really good."

It's a pity that Xiaosi is a girl's family, if it is a man, he can open a medical clinic and start a career.

When Yan Xiaosi was applying medicine to her, he heard her sigh softly.

"Sister, does it hurt? Let me move more gently."

"Eldest sister is not in pain, just apply the medicine."

"Then what are you sighing for?"

Yan Shuqin thought for a while, and said what was in her heart: "Xiao Si, do you want to open a medical clinic?"

Yan Xiaosi nodded without hesitation: "Of course I do. With my medical skills, we will prosper if we open a clinic. If I earn money, I can make you all beautiful."

"Little Four, Eldest Sister supports you, no matter what others think, Eldest Sister supports you."

"Xiao Si, Second Sister also supports you, you can do whatever you want, and don't care about other people's opinions."

Yan Xiaosi guessed what Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue were worried about, and smiled slightly, with the support of her family, her heart was so warm.

"Men and women don't know each other. I am a woman. If I open a medical clinic, I will inevitably contact male patients. Eldest sister, second sister, you are worried that others will see through my gender, make irresponsible remarks, and damage my reputation. You are afraid that I will marry you." Won't you go out?"

Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue nodded together.

Yan Xiaosi smiled nonchalantly, and said: "Fame is nothing, earning money is the most important thing. When I have monstrous wealth, what kind of man do I want? Those men are probably asking to marry me, so, eldest sister , Second sister, you don't have to worry that I won't get married."

These words were so bold that Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue didn't know what expressions to make.

After being dazed for a moment, Yan Shuqin reached out and tapped her forehead, and said, "Only you, Xiaosi, can say such shameless words."

Yan Shuxue warned: "Little Four, you can't tell outsiders about such indiscreet words."

In this era of Da Chu, when a man loves a beautiful woman, it's romantic if he pounces on him. If a woman falls in love with a handsome man and pounces on him, it's Meng Lang. What the hell is that?

Yan Xiaosi didn't agree with what Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue said, but nodded obediently, "Eldest sister, second sister, I understand."

If she doesn't nod, the two sisters will definitely have to enlighten her.

As soon as Yan Shuqin was finished applying the medicine, Mrs. Zhong called for dinner.

The three of them walked into the cave, and Mrs. Zhong had already placed all the food on the stone table.

There are Yan Xiaosi's favorite stir-fried twice-cooked pork with wild mountain mushrooms. There are two big bowls and two bowls of seasonal vegetables.

It's been a long time since I ate fried pork with wild mushrooms, and the ancient pollution-free pork is particularly delicious. Yan Xiao finished two bowls of rice with all four feet, and then licked the lard from the corner of his mouth, and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Mother, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, I'm too full to eat, so let's go for a walk to digest food."

While tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, Zhong told: "Xiaosi, it's getting dark, don't go too far."

"Got it, mother."

As soon as he walked out of the cave, he bumped into Yan Bozhang and two servants of the Yan family.

The moment he saw Yan Bozhang, Yan Xiaosi frowned immediately.

The ghosts of the Yan family really linger.

She was too full and her stomach was full, so she glanced at Yan Bozhang, pretending not to see it, and continued to walk around on the flat ground in front of the cave, digesting the food.
