The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye's father was eating duck meat and felt that it tasted a bit like the bacon from Dashan Village, but it tasted more numb, spicy and fragrant.

Father Ye said excitedly: "This duck product tastes a bit like the bacon from Dashan Village. What do you think about me going to Dashan Village to buy a batch of spices for making bacon and bringing back the braised duck product?"

Mr. Ye felt something was wrong, "This is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The recipe of this spice is always in the hands of others. What if we sell the duck products and Dashan Village stops providing us with spices? manage?"

Ye's mother also agreed with Mr. Ye's words, and he wanted to develop an exclusive duck recipe.

Ye Mu carefully tasted the spices on the duck, "If it's numb, it should have Sichuan peppercorns added, and it should also contain other ingredients such as bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise, and tangerine peel. There is also a spicy spice that I can't eat. come out."

It's a coincidence that Tang Xiaojing knows the spicy spice, "The spicy spice should be Cornus officinalis, also called Yuejiao or Ai Zi. It is a traditional Chinese medicine that can dispel wind and cold. It has a rich and pungent aroma and tastes spicy." .”

"The Sichuan people like hemp and spicy food. The hemp is naturally Sichuan peppercorns, and the spicy food is the dogwood. In addition to being a medicinal material, dogwood is also a commonly used seasoning in the Sichuan area."

Mother Ye was very interested in this Cornus officinalis and asked quickly: "Jing Xiaozi, can I buy this Cornus officinalis in the pharmacy?"

Tang Xiaojing: "Yes, I have seen Cornus officinalis in Wang's Pharmacy before, and the price is not expensive."

Father Ye was very happy and rewarded Tang Xiaojing with a duck wing. He said with a smile, "I will go to the pharmacy tomorrow to buy some dogwood. We will also try to make this spicy and spicy duck product."

Mother Ye was very confident, patting her chest and saying, "As long as I can find all the spices, I can make this spicy and spicy duck product."

Mother Ye said she would make spicy duck products, and the happiest children would be the ones at home.

"Mom, that's amazing." Ye Donglin gave Ye Mu a thumbs up.

"Mom, I'll light the fire for you when I get back from school." Of course Ye Xilin is indispensable for food.

The second cousin also said with a smile: "Auntie, this spicy duck food is too spicy. I will bring some tea to relieve the heat."

Father Ye smiled and said, "You gluttons haven't even bought the spices yet, so you just want to eat them."

In fact, Father Ye also likes to eat this duck product. It’s so cool to eat and sell it while watching the stall.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaojing took Shopkeeper Wang and the two nursing homes of Shopkeeper Wang's family to the mountain village together.

Tang Xiaojing's ox cart and shopkeeper Wang's carriage can only go as far as Dashan Village, and going further up the mountain, the ox cart and horse carriage cannot be used.

Tang Xiaojing left the oxcart and carriage at Li Orion's house, and the four of them walked slowly up to the mountain village.

Tang Xiaojing and a nursing home brother were leading the way, while shopkeeper Wang and another nursing home brother slowly followed behind.

Tang Xiaojing and the two nursing home elder brothers have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they don't feel tired when walking on mountain roads. But shopkeeper Wang has been pampered since he was a child, and his back aches after walking for a while, and his legs start to tremble.

Fortunately, the two nursing elders were tall, young and strong, so they took turns carrying Mr. Wang to the mountain village.

The four of them set off early, and when they arrived at the mountain village, the sun had not yet reached the center.

The mountain people are relatively xenophobic and very vigilant. Several unfamiliar faces were noticed at once. As soon as they entered the village, they were stopped by two burly uncles.

Tang Xiaojing hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Two uncles, I am Mr. Jing who came here with Li Orion from Dashan Village a few days ago to collect fresh medicinal materials."

When the two uncles saw that Tang Xiaojing was indeed the young man Li Orion and Li brought here to collect fresh medicinal materials last time, they relaxed and asked who the three people next to them were.

Tang Xiaojing quickly introduced to the two uncles: "This is the shopkeeper Wang of the pharmacy, and the other two are the clerks of the pharmacy. I came here today to ask Yang Orion to collect tiger bone wine. In addition, I also want to collect another batch of fresh Bring back the herbs.”

The mountain people were quite xenophobic. Tang Xiaojing was afraid that by saying that the two eldest brothers were guards and causing unnecessary precautions among the people in the mountains, he directly told them that the two were pharmacy clerks.

The older uncle smiled heartily and said: "I'm going to tell everyone to dig out the medicinal materials I found in advance. I also found two Polygonatum japonicas of relatively high age two days ago."

Another uncle also asked happily: "Little doctor, why don't you go to the village chief's house to collect fresh herbs later?"

"Yes, we still collect herbs at the village chief's house. When digging for herbs, remember to dig up the soil as well."

"You know, herbs with soil can better preserve the medicinal properties of herbs, everyone knows that."

After saying that, the two uncles hurried back to the village, preparing to take the guy up the mountain to dig herbs.

Tang Xiaojing took the three people into the village. He didn't know how to get to Yang Orion's house, so he simply took the three people to the village chief's house.

Several people arrived at the village chief's house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the village chief rubbing some gray rabbit skins.

The village chief saw Tang Xiaojin coming with three strangers and knew that they were here to collect tiger bone wine. The village chief put a few rabbit skins aside and enthusiastically invited a few people into the house.

Tang Xiaojing introduced to the village chief as he walked, "Village chief, this is the shopkeeper Wang of the pharmacy, and he is also the owner of the pharmacy. The other two eldest brothers are the clerks of the pharmacy."

"Shopkeeper Wang came here mainly to ask Yang Orion to collect the tiger bone wine. I have also prepared some food here."

"800 kilograms of corn cobs and 200 kilograms of rice, a total of 1000 kilograms of grain, have been transported to Dashan Village. The village chief can find someone to transport the grain together when we go down the mountain."

"Okay, then I will take you to Orion Yang's house now."

The village chief led the way and turned around and asked, "Jing Xiaozi, are you collecting fresh herbs this time?"

"Collect it. When I just entered the village, I met two uncles. I already told them that I would collect fresh herbs. The two uncles said they would notify the people in the village to dig out the herbs."

The village chief said happily: "In the past few days, people in the village have found a lot of herbs that are difficult to process in the mountains. They have all been marked and are waiting for you to come and collect them."

“Don’t worry, village chief, I’ll take whatever you want as long as it’s of good quality.”

Shopkeeper Wang also took the opportunity to ask the village chief about the sika deer.

"Village chief, is it possible to hunt sika deer near the village? The pharmacy needs a live sika deer. Do you think you can ask the hunter in the village to help hunt one back? The price is negotiable."

Village chief: "There are sika deer, but they are more flexible and less plentiful, so they are more difficult to hunt. It will be even more difficult to survive."

Tang Xiaojing thought of Orion Yang, "Orion Yang can even hunt down tigers, so he should be able to hunt sika deer, right?"

The village chief said with a smile: "Hunter Yang is the most powerful hunter in our mountain village. If he is willing to help find sika deer, then there should be no problem."

Shopkeeper Wang is very happy. If he can get sika deer, Wang's Pharmacy will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
