Chapter 29 Finding Herbs for Song Jin
Shen Xia didn't mind the bowl that was missing a corner and drank directly: "Thank you, Grandpa Chen."
"Well, Song Ming, this is your wife." Grandpa Chen asked.
Song Ming nodded embarrassedly: "Yeah"
"Well, good, it's good to get a wife. This girl looks good, you have to treat her well." Grandpa Chen said kindly.
"Yes, Grandpa Chen." Song Ming nodded repeatedly.
While talking.
Xiaotian came back with a basin of washed wild vegetables.
Seeing Song Ming and Shen Xia, he said happily: "Second Brother Song, why are you here, Sister Shen Xia."
"Yeah." Shen Xia replied.
"We are going to the mountains, so we came to ask you if you want to go with us." Song Ming said.
Xiaotian said with joy, "Great! I haven't come to thank Sister Shen Xia yet! I boiled the herbs you told me to feed Grandpa, and he really doesn't cough anymore. Sister Shen Xia, you are amazing."
Grandpa Chen was also surprised: "That herb was given to you by Song Ming's wife."
"It's not a gift. He dug it himself." Shen Xia explained.
Grandpa Chen smiled and said, "Without you, how could he know that those herbs are useful?"
"It's just a small favor, Grandpa Chen, don't take it too seriously. It didn't cost me anything."
"Okay, Grandpa Chen will keep it in mind. Xiaotian, you should also remember the kindness of your sister Shen Xia."
"I got it, Grandpa."
After a while, after chatting for a few words, Song Ming and Shen Xia took Xiaotian away.
The three of them were together. Maybe because the child was active, although Xiaotian was very thin, he did not delay the journey.
Same progress.
Because it was not very early today, we did not go too far inside and stayed just outside.
I also found a lot of herbs, including many of the herbs that my third brother needed. I'll see what's missing. My second brother will go to town tomorrow, so I'll ask him to buy some more.
Because no one eats mushrooms, there were a lot of them in just a few days.
Shen Xia picked a lot for herself and gave a lot to Xiaotian.
Later, a fungus was discovered.
It was not a small amount, and I also gave some to Xiaotian.
After looking at Xiaotian’s backpack, I think there should be no problem eating it for two days.
Myself and Song Ming's backpacks were also full. They were truly gifts from nature, and they were things that others did not recognize.
I picked a lot of everything.
There is food everywhere.
Seeing that it was almost dark, we started to go back.
Send Xiaotian back first, and then go back with Song Ming.
On the way back: "Second brother, how old is Xiaotian?"
"Eight years old."
"Ah? He's eight years old now. I thought he was only five or six!"
"Well, because I don't eat enough, I don't grow taller."
"Oh I got it."
“So have you noticed that most people in rural areas are not tall?”
Shen Xia looked Song Ming up and down.
If you accidentally see something you shouldn't see, you should quickly open your eyes. It seems that you should quickly ask your mother to make their underwear first: "Then why are you brothers so tall?"
"Us? We were able to eat enough when we were young." Song Ming said with a smile.
"Oh."
Shen Xia stopped talking.
Oh, even though I have never eaten pork, haven’t I seen a pig run?
Thinking about the fact that I studied medicine in my previous life, my classmates Zhou Shi were all talkative and could say anything.
Over time, not only is my body shy, but my words are not shy at all.
Just curious.
They say to judge a man by his nose.
Indeed, all the Song brothers have high noses.
what
Where did this go?
Quickly shake your head and throw away the dirty waste in your mind.
Shen Xia looked at the weather and said, "Second brother, let's go! It looks like it's going to rain heavily."
Song Ming also looked up and said, "It might be raining."
The two of them quickened their pace and walked towards home.
When they got back, their mother had already prepared the meal, and Song Jiang and Xiao Wu had already hung all the wheat into winnowing baskets.
Looking at the bone soup simmering in the pot, I think my mother really understands me quite well.
Even though I didn't say it, I knew what I was going to do.
I picked out everything I was going to eat tonight, washed them, and put them aside for later use.
Because there are mushrooms, a lot of them are put into the bone soup, so it is another full pot of dish.
I haven’t eaten meat for a few days, so I’ll make pork belly today, and then spare ribs tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Shen Xia washed the pork belly, cut it into pieces, and then put it in the pot to boil a little oil.
Don't boil too much oil at this time, because everyone likes to eat fatty meat.
So Shen Xia didn't cook the chicken until both sides were golden brown as she did before. She just put a little oil in and then added the side dishes.
The meat was not too much, because I bought about five or six pounds, which was divided into two meals.
But if you add some side dishes, it will be a full pot.
After it had been cooking for about a quarter of an hour, I opened the lid, took a look, and added salt.
Then serve it up.
Because we picked a lot of black fungus today, we decided to stir-fry a delicious black fungus dish.
Before long, the kitchen was filled with the unique aroma of wood ear.
The tempting aroma of this pure natural ingredient makes people feel the magic and beauty of nature.
Thinking back to my previous life, where could I taste such pure and natural wood ear mushrooms?
At that time, almost all the food was artificially cultivated, and often required the use of various pesticides, fertilizers and other chemical substances for nourishment.
In comparison, the food here is simply amazing! To be honest, I have been in this place for more than ten days, and every food has a rich natural flavor that makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
The pork is also pure natural, but the smell is really unbearable. Although I bought some spices and added them to the dish to cover up the smell, I have a very sensitive nose, so I can still smell it.
I seldom ate, except when Song's mother picked up some for me, I endured and ate a piece. But Song's mother kept picking up some for me, and I couldn't stand it anymore.
I told the truth that I don’t like eating pork.
The mountains and rivers here are really beautiful, and the air is refreshing.
Although the Song family's house is too shabby, it's okay.
Money is secondary. I have nothing to earn and I just miss my family.
It would be great if my whole family was here. I could earn money to build a beautiful yard, hire some servants, and marry a young husband. Life would be so wonderful.
Forget it, don’t think about it, let’s eat first.
Seeing that the dishes were ready, everyone set up the table together.
Song's mother put the meal on the table for everyone.
Because Shen Xia had instilled in her mind in the past few days that people must eat before working, Song's mother no longer felt sorry for food.
So as long as people have money, they will be generous.
Shen Xia served a bowl of bone soup and skimmed off the oil foam on the surface.
Then he said to Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, take this bowl and feed it to your fourth brother."
Xiao Wu took a look, then looked at what everyone was eating: "Only let Fourth Brother drink the soup?"
Everyone looked over.
Seeing everyone's strange looks, Shen Xia said, "He has been in a coma for so long, he can't eat food right after he wakes up. His intestines won't be able to adapt. He has to eat little by little. Let him have a bowl of soup today, porridge tomorrow, and a little bit of vegetables the day after tomorrow."
After Shen Xia finished explaining, everyone suddenly understood.
"Well, Xia Xia is right, you little brat, why don't you hurry up and go," Song's mother said to Xiao Wu after hearing this.
"Ok."
"Do you have to wait for me for dinner?" Xiaowu left and took a look at the rich dishes on the table.
The weather is a little hot at this time, so if you wait a while, the food won’t get cold.
After Song Yun woke up, Shen Xia never went to see him.
I always feel that Song Yun's eyes are very sharp, as if he can see through me, making me very uncomfortable.
