Feeling overwhelmed, Bai Cong quietly took Bai Zheng and Bai Di to pick raspberries some way ahead, out of sight and out of mind, showing affection or something, sooner or later they would be struck by lightning, so it was better for them to stay away.

Bai Chunsheng couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten raspberries. The raspberries in this time and space looked bigger than theirs. When they matured, they were almost as big as American cherries. One bite, it was sour and sweet. Juicy and very tasty.

This mountain road is not very spacious, the narrowest place can only allow one person to pass, both sides are covered with all kinds of weeds, and the raspberry is the most, they eat and pick all the way, before they reach the halfway up the mountain, the bamboo they brought The basket is full.

They are not greedy, and they go back when they have almost picked. After all, there are still many local children who like to eat this kind of wild fruit, but it is a pity that the ripening period of raspberries is too short. Wait a year to get it.

However, since Bai Chunsheng came, he didn't plan to go back empty-handed. He planned to go out to sea with his father to catch some fish and shrimp, and use that to exchange a batch of fresh raspberries with the natives, which can be made into raspberry jam, dried fruit, and candied fruit. , for foodies, there is no fruit that cannot be preserved. If there is, it must be that the foodie attribute is not firm enough!

When going down the mountain, Bai Chunsheng was pleasantly surprised to find a wild vegetable that he used to eat in his previous life on the side of the road. This kind of wild vegetable with slender leaves is commonly known as "husk vegetable" in their place. It usually grows on both sides of the mountain path or in places with mountain springs. Pinch it off and smell a faint bitter taste.

This kind of wild vegetable cannot be eaten directly. After picking off the tender new leaves, put them in boiling water first, remove them after boiling, rub them repeatedly in cold water, and wash them to wash away the bitterness inside as much as possible. , after washing and chopping the rice dumplings, put a little crushed garlic and pointed chili peppers, stir-fry them in an oil pan and eat them. The fried rice dumplings have a faint bitter taste after eating, and the bitterness has passed The last is the unforgettable coolness. In early summer, I often eat some rice dumplings, which can also prevent heat stroke, especially for those who often go out for supper. If there is nothing to do, eat rice dumplings, which can also prevent getting angry and constipation ,cough!

Wang Kunfeng saw what his mussels wanted to pick, so he reflexively wanted to stop it, but found that Bai Chunsheng picked wild vegetables without bristles, so he let him pick them without worry, and asked the three young ones to accompany him , he sent the bamboo baskets of several people down the mountain first, and then brought up the empty bamboo baskets. Bai Chunsheng and the others had already picked a lot of wild vegetables and piled them aside. Transfer to a bamboo basket.

While I was busy, another group of people came up from the bottom of the mountain, wearing bunts woven by the local aboriginals with hemp thread, and carrying bamboo baskets. It seemed that the local children had come up the mountain to pick fruits.

Seeing them squatting on the ground to pick weeds, the children surrounded them curiously. One of them who was more courageous asked them what they were picking and whether it was some herbal medicine, because sometimes the witch doctor of their clan would come to the mountains to pick herbs However, witch doctors choose their own successors. What herbs they use are only taught to their own successors. Others are not allowed to steal their masters. They were picking something that looked like herbs, and these children didn't dare to ask too many questions.

"This is not a herb, but a delicious wild vegetable." Bai Chunsheng also wanted to know what edible wild vegetables the aborigines here knew, so he immediately communicated with the children, "This kind of wild vegetable is called weed in our place. , the taste is a bit bitter, but it is not easy for people to get sick after eating it, so the people there will go to the mountains to pick the husk vegetables and eat them back in summer. The method is also very simple. First, pick off the young leaves and boil them in hot water Take it out and wash it with cold water to wash off the bitterness inside, and then you can fry it and eat it. If you don’t like to fry it, you can also use it to make soup, or put it in the stew after drying. It’s delicious, and when the weather is hot, eat more rice dumplings to prevent the heat.”

"Then, if you eat this, you won't have rashes on your body?" A child next to him scratched his prickly heat-stricken neck, looking at those weed-like wild vegetables with bright eyes.

"This is for prevention. It will be effective if you take it before you develop a rash. However, if you take it regularly, you will not have a rash next time. If you are like this, it is best to pick some herbs. Forget it, you can take this ointment." Well, wash the rash area and apply it twice a day, and it will be fine soon." Bai Chunsheng took out the ointment made by Dr. Mao from his arms and stuffed it into the child.

The child was startled, and he didn't dare to take it at first, because in their clan, such good ointments are very precious, and the witch doctor will never give it to you. If you are sick, you have to go to the witch doctor to get medicine every day. When you go, you have to bring prey or food. This is a rule set by your ancestors, so the child was startled when he saw Bai Chunsheng directly gave him the jar of ointment.

"Then, how about this? I'll give you this ointment. In exchange, you tell me which wild vegetables are edible around here and how to eat them. Is this okay?" Everything has to be exchanged at equal value, it is simply a conscientious buyer!

When the child heard that the ointment could be exchanged, he immediately took the ointment happily, yelled, and promised to share the ointment with his friends, and called the children to help pick wild vegetables together, without letting Bai Chunsheng wait for Mrs. After a while, those children came back with a lot of wild vegetables.

"This is a festival vegetable. You can see that the poles are segmented. When eating, remove the leaves. Cut up the poles and put some in when roasting the bamboo rat meat. It's very delicious!"

"This is purple leafy vegetables. The back of the leaves is purple. We eat their leaves, pick them off and wash them, and eat them wrapped in meat when grilling. They are crunchy and delicious."

"This is a mouse's ear. Do you think its leaves look like bamboo rat's ears? This wild vegetable is sticky, but it is delicious when boiled in soup."

"This is Pi Pi Cai. The leaves are very thick. It tastes great if you add some salt to it. It will be even better if you add a little rice to it."

"But rice is very expensive. Our family only changes a little rice every year, and we only eat rice on Grandpa's birthday."

"Is there no one growing rice here?" Bai Chunsheng asked them.

"Not here, the rice is delicious, there will be bamboo rats on the mountain come down to steal it, and birds on the seaside will also fly over to eat it, but I heard from my father that there are people planting rice far away, and they will take rice Exchange the fur of bamboo rats in the mountains with us, have you ever eaten bamboo rats?"

"Bamboo rat?" The foodie He Mujing's eyes lit up.

He has eaten this stuff before. Bamboo rat meat is tender and tender. They used to eat it in the night market. The usual way to eat it is to braise it with bamboo shoots and onions to make a pot, or sprinkle it with salt and pepper and roast it. Stir-fried peppers are also delicious. It is a good dish to accompany wine!

The city where Bai Chunsheng lived in his previous life is next to the civilized bamboo township in the country. Not only is it rich in bamboo and bamboo shoots, there are also people who breed bamboo rats. Adult bamboo rats are as big as fat rabbits. The meat is tender and delicious. A plate of fried bamboo rats with peppercorns costs more than 60 yuan a plate, and a braised pot made of half a bamboo rat costs 160 yuan a pot. I didn’t expect there to be wild bamboo rats here?

Thinking about it is right, there is such a large bamboo forest here that you can't see the end at a glance. There must be wild bamboo rats in it. There will be no large beasts in the bamboo forest, so it should be very suitable for bamboo rats to breed. No wonder the aborigines here will catch bamboo rats. as a source of meat.

"Can you catch bamboo rats?"

"Yes! You see, we brought flint here to catch bamboo rats on the mountain." The older child proudly showed Bai Chunsheng his tools for catching bamboo rats, which were made of flint and hemp rope He is ten years old, and he is old enough to provide food for his family. The natives here are used to going out with hunting things. If you are lucky, you can catch some bamboo rats or bamboo chickens in the mountains. It can also add a meat dish to the family.

"Let's go, it's still early anyway, let's go and have a look, catch some bamboo rats and go back and taste it." Looking at the bright eyes of his clam, what else does Master Cat not understand?Definitely want to eat bamboo rat meat.

What else can he do?I can only smile and help catch bamboo rats.

What Bai Chunsheng didn't expect was that the bamboo rats in this world completely broke his inherent impression of bamboo rats.

Seeing a few native kids chasing and chasing a fat "bamboo rat" like a piggy out of the hole, the whole river clam spirit was stunned.

What the hell is this bamboo rat?

Give me a break!I'm afraid it's a piggy, right?

Looking at the bamboo rat, which weighed at least a dozen catties, Bai Chunsheng was completely speechless.

No wonder the older child has to gather so many helpers to help catch the bamboo rat. The weight of the bamboo rat is probably impossible for ordinary children to catch, right?

The older child struggled to tie up the plump bamboo rat with the prepared twine, put it in a strong bamboo basket, and carried it to Bai Chunsheng by two people, looking at Bai Chunsheng with sparkling eyes. : "My nobleman, do you want this bamboo rat? I'll give you two cans of that ointment in exchange."

This kid was quite economical, probably seeing that he wanted to eat bamboo rat meat, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it directly, so he caught the prey first and exchanged it with him.

"Okay! I live in the city lord's mansion. If you catch a bamboo rat next time and want to exchange that kind of ointment, you can also take the bamboo rat to the porter in the mansion there. I can also tell you The people around you, those who have children at home who need this kind of ointment, can exchange it with bamboo rats, or today's method of exchange, two cans of ointment for one adult bamboo rat." Bai Chunsheng took out the ointment from his arms and handed it to him with a smile. Fortunately, in order to prevent accidents today, he specially brought two extra cans, which happened to be given to this boy.

He could tell that the aboriginals here are in short supply of commonly used medicines. The shortage of medicines directly affects the growth rate of the population. This continent is obviously fertile, but there are less than 1 aborigines in the entire peninsula. , It can be seen how high the mortality rate of young children is, which is why the natives rushed to imitate after he made the twine mosquito net. Who would not love their children?As long as I can keep my children from being bitten by mosquitoes and not die of fever, I am the first to make a mosquito net, and I am afraid that the favorability in the hearts of the indigenous people has reached its peak.

However, the mosquito net alone can only ensure that those vulnerable children will not be bitten by mosquitoes when they sleep. When they are active in the wild during the day, they are still in danger of being bitten by mosquitoes. He wonders if the mosquitoes here will There is a possibility of causing malaria, but if it can be prevented, why not prevent it in advance?

After going back that day, Bai Chunsheng asked his cat master to invite Dr. Mao over immediately. As soon as Dr. Mao arrived in Zhucheng, he was busy collecting herbs here. At this moment, he didn't know where to go to the deep mountains and old forests with his apprentices. I went, thanks to the fact that Master Mao's subordinates are basically demons. After spending a day, I finally dug Dr. Mao, who was addicted to collecting herbs, out of the deep mountains and old forests.

"My concubine is so anxious to find this old man, but did she think of any useful medicine?" Dr. Mao was very curious about his concubine's brain opening from time to time, and he was even more amazed at the research directions of the medicines he proposed. If it weren't for Bai Chunsheng now It's the princess, and Doctor Mao can't wait to accept him as an apprentice. With the princess's talent and insight in pharmaceuticals, it will be a matter of time before she cultivates a master of pharmacy!

what a shame!

The princess ruthlessly ignored Doctor Mao's regretful eyes, and briefly explained to him her idea of ​​wanting to produce mosquito repellent and anti-mosquito medicine in large quantities.

"It's not difficult to make these medicines. My apprentices can do it. It's just that this herbal medicine needs to be harvested in the mountains." Dr. Mao also has a little research on the malaria that Bai Chunsheng mentioned. They are very interested in the method. As doctors, they all know that some diseases can be prevented as long as the measures are taken properly. It is better than remedial after the accident. Bai Chunsheng's idea is very good. The biggest problem is the source of the herbal medicine.

There are no farmers here who specialize in planting herbs. If you want to produce a certain kind of medicine in large quantities, you have to invite experienced mountain people to collect herbs at any cost. But in that way, the cost of this mosquito repellent will not be very low. , he was afraid that those natives would not have money to buy them.

"I didn't intend to ask them to pay money to buy it. Besides, they don't have any money. It just so happens that Brother Kun is here now. Let me tell you my thoughts. If it is feasible, not only will there be no need to worry about new soldiers, but even our government-run workshops will be fine." We can recruit people."

Bai Chunsheng's idea is actually similar to their planned economy in the 70s in Time and Space, which is to bring several major industries in Zhucheng under the management of the City Lord's Mansion, and establish different cooperatives, some of which breed bamboo rats, and some Those who grow herbs, as well as those who grow food and vegetables, open workshops, etc., and then recruit indigenous people as workers according to the different labor needs of various industries, but what these workers get is not real monthly money, but Remunerated by various materials produced by themselves.

For example, after a strong laborer joins the army, he can get a certain amount of food, melons, fruits, vegetables, pickles, commonly used medicines, and various meats every month according to the increase in the number of years of service. Materials are used as compensation, and the natives are hired to work for them.

As for the meat, grains, vegetables, and sauces produced in government-run workshops and farms, the surplus can be sold to the sea by sea, or they can wait until they find a bigger city on this continent, and then slowly transfer the commercial After laying out the territory, this is what his master cat will do.

"If that's the case, then it's feasible." Dr. Mao nodded, "As long as there are enough medicinal materials, the plaster is easy to make, but, in this way, I'm afraid that my young disciples may not have enough manpower, so we still need to make plasters." I hope that the lord will build the room used by the medicine hall as soon as possible, if you want to make a large amount of mosquito repellent and other medicines, I am afraid that you will have to leave two more rows of warehouses to store herbal medicines."

"It's okay, I'll order them to rush to work immediately, and I will definitely build it for you within half a month, but Mr. Mao, if you live in Zhucheng, what will you do in the new city?" Master Cat asked very selfishly. There are a thousand relatives who are still in Xincheng. What if someone has a headache and Dr. Mao is not around?

"My lord, there is no need to worry. My big apprentice Yun Yi has learned most of my skills. When the Zhucheng Medicine Hall is built, I will let him sit here. There are diseases that even he can't treat. It’s time to send a letter there, or I’ll come over, or let the patient go to the new city for medical treatment, it’s only half a day’s journey, what’s the problem?”

"That's hard work, Mr. Mao." Hearing that Dr. Mao didn't want to take care of the medicine hall here, Master Mao finally heaved a sigh of relief. He can't be blamed for not caring for the people here, but, in Master Mao's opinion, Even if all the people in the world are tied together in one place, they are not as noble as his family full of relatives and friends.

What's more, the mussels in his family have always been delicate, and there is a small mussel that has not yet transformed. If Mr. Mao hadn't been in charge in person, he would have to move the Santo's Mansion back to the new city.

After discussing the business, the foodies did not forget the bamboo rats they brought back. Knowing that their river mussels wanted to eat the bamboo rats, Lord Cat sent people to catch several more.The bamboo rat is a favorite prey of the local aborigines. This animal is full of treasures. The fur of the bamboo rat is soft and delicate. It is very popular among the aborigines. It is very popular in the local exchange market, second only to grain and cloth. thing.The bones of bamboo rats are used as medicinal materials, and witch doctors will also collect them.Not to mention the bamboo rat meat, the tender meat is the favorite meat of the aborigines, which is equivalent to pork in this continent.Even the fat in the belly of the bamboo rat is a good thing. The natives will take out the fat and refine it to replace lard for daily cooking.

After removing the fur and fat from an adult bamboo rat, the remaining meat is about ten catties. The cooks from Zhucheng also followed them all the way, and they cooperated tacitly with each other, only listening to Bai Chunsheng According to his instructions, he can make dishes such as braised bamboo rat pot in brown sauce, fried bamboo rat meat with pepper, salt and pepper bamboo rat, charcoal grilled bamboo rat, etc., and boiled a pot of tender bamboo rat belly Fragrant bamboo rat porridge.

In fact, the roasted bamboo rat combined with the local aboriginal eating method has been favored by everyone.Different from their method of roasting meat, the aborigines will first go to the wild to pick a herb that looks like thatch, scald these herbs in hot water to make the herbs pliable, and then remove the whole bamboo rat from the abdomen. Cut open the thick back with a knife, then put salt, green onions, garlic, and a local special spice into the stone mortar, mash them, and spread them evenly on the inside and outside of the bamboo rat meat. After marinating for a while, put the whole bamboo rat Wrapped in herbs, wrapped tightly in layers, steamed in a steamer until half-cooked, then taken out and grilled over charcoal, the baked bamboo rat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a unique aroma of herbs, very delicious.

The whole family ate their mouths full of oil. After eating the bamboo rat meat, they served the washed raspberries and felt the cool bamboo forest breeze. It was very pleasant!

The little mussel also burped under the water.

Today is also considered a blessing for him. They found many small dried shrimps in a stream in the mountains. The transparent dried shrimps are extremely small. They can only be fished out slowly with thick cotton cloth as a fishing net, but the dried shrimps are very tender. , The small river mussels took one bite at a time, and they were almost full.

"This kid is really edible!" Wang Kunfeng stretched out his finger and poked his son. The little river mussel was lazier than his father, and he didn't resist when he was poked, but just lazily moved his position and continued to lie down.

The corners of Bai Chunsheng's mouth twitched as he looked at his son lying on the bottom of the water with his dead body. After confirming the eyes, it was his own accident. This lazy cancer is really the most stubborn genetic gene of their old Bai family.

I don't know if my son will inherit his good looks, so don't just inherit his laziness then?

After eating and drinking enough, they sent their son and family members back to their rooms to rest. The couple, who had been separated for a long time, finally had a moment of their own world for two.

"Who told you to come here? Didn't you say that the houses here haven't been built yet?" Wang Kunfeng hugged his mussel in his arms with a smile on his face, very duplicity.

"Can't I miss you?" Bai Chunsheng couldn't help but make a black line when he saw his "obviously proud but pretending to reprimand" face, and resisted the urge to pat him, trying to match his cat master's performance.

I still comforted myself silently in my heart: the cat I chose should be coaxed even while kneeling!

Sure enough, Master Cat, who was very happy to be smoothed, was as gentle as water in the next bed, which saved the delicate mussel spirit from suffering a lot.

Cats who have been holding back for months are the hardest thing to coax!

In the next few days, the couple didn't find time to mess around in the bed anymore. When they heard that bamboo rats could be exchanged for precious ointments, the aboriginals heard the news, and almost every day people came to the city lord's mansion to exchange things.

Master Mao and the others took the opportunity to publicize the announcement that various official workshops will be opened in the city lord's mansion, and that the new military camp will also recruit recruits.

The natives are not very receptive to new things. They sent several people to help explain at the door, and finally let them understand that the recruitment will be paid, unlike the previous bird demon who let them work for nothing.

Because the treatment in the new barracks was the best, strong young natives soon came to sign up.
