Chapter 61： Go up the mountain to collect herbs

Chapter 61 Go up the mountain to collect herbs

Zhao Zhitong was playing too crazy today, so he forgot the time. It was not until Sun Mei came to look for her that he reluctantly said goodbye to Qiao Muchen and Wei Shulan.

On the way home, Zhao Zhitong showed off to Sun Mei that she was no longer afraid of big cocks.

Sun Mei was only happy to hear it.

Talking and laughing, soon, they arrived at the village.

After the sun sets, the weather is not so hot. Many farmers will sit outside with rice bowls, eating and chatting.

My stepmother, Mrs. Wang, and the old man Zhao were also enjoying the cool outside. At that time, Mrs. Wang was chatting with a woman in the neighborhood.

Far away, seeing the three of Zhao Zhitong approaching, he immediately turned around and grabbed his man, and rushed home.

In this era of lack of entertainment, gossip and chatting have become the only pastime. Therefore, if there is something wrong with the neighbors in the neighborhood, it will quickly spread around.

Mrs. Wang had just heard from the neighbors in the neighborhood that Sun Mei secretly guarded the mutton given to the school by the squire. Before she heard the whole thing, she saw the three of them coming.

That's mutton, what a precious thing, it's a cheap thing for their family, where can they get the money to accompany the squire? So, she began to worry that Mrs. Sun asked old man Zhao for money.

She saw Sun Mei and the others just now, like a **** hiding from the plague.

Old man Zhao is inexplicable: "What are you pulling me for!"

Mrs. Wang glared at her old man, and snorted coldly: "I tell you, there is no money in the family. Those are my son's filial pieties to me. Don't even think about taking them out and filling holes for some sneaky people."

Old man Zhao looked puzzled.

Sun Mei happened to hear Wang's words, and her complexion immediately turned ugly. Old man Zhao was puzzled, but Sun Mei understood what the words meant.

Didn't you just say it to her on purpose?

So, he pretended not to see them, pulled Zhao Zhitong and Zhao Yu along, and strode home.

Although Zhao Zhitong was young, she didn't feel comfortable listening to Mrs. Wang's words, and she knew that she was speaking for them. Seeing that her mother was angry and unhappy, she raised her throat and said in a milky voice, "Mother, you Don't be angry, when Tongtong grows up and is promising, he will earn money and meat for his mother that he can't spend."

Sun Mei smiled when she heard this: "Okay, okay, mother, when you grow up, you will win honor to your parents."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Sun Mei and the others' backs, rolled her eyes, and looked disgusted: "Oh, I really hope that a girl who loses money will win glory in the film, it's a dream, and you still make money, let's clean your hands and feet first, I'm sorry ! Besides, if we want to talk about winning glory, it is my family Jier who is the glory of the Zhao family."

Her eldest grandson, Zhao Ji, is twelve years old this year. He has already passed the county examination and became a child student.

In the future, it will be just around the corner to be admitted to the No. 1 Scholar!

At that time, she will be the grandmother of the number one scholar. If in the future, her grandson earns her a royal wife or something, she will be waiting to enjoy the blessings.

Besides, her eldest granddaughter is also beautiful and can play the piano well. In the future, she will be able to marry a high-ranking official and bring honor to her face.

Look again, Sun's daughter is just like a wild monkey, jumping up and down all day long, she doesn't look like a girl at all. Even if she is sent to school, so what, is it possible that she can still be expected to pass the official examination in the future?

A family with shallow eyelids.

The more she thought about it, the more proud Wang became, as if, in the next second, she would really become the number one grandmother.

—

Speaking of which, after Sun Mei and the others returned home, Sun Mei became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she couldn't help complaining to her two sister-in-laws: "Bah, who cares about her little money, I'm so mad."

After listening to Sun Mei's complaints, both the second aunt and the first aunt couldn't stop scolding Wang for being nothing.

Finally, my aunt said to Sun Mei: "However, she doesn't know that it's a good thing that our tofu is making money now, otherwise, as a greedy person like her, she might come to you for the recipe."

Sun Mei said angrily: "If she dares to be ashamed, I dare to make her regret it. I am not a vegetarian!"

It was the first time that the eldest aunt and the second aunt saw Sun Mei losing her temper, and they all gave her appreciative glances: "Little sister, that's right, that's how it should be. As long as she dares to come, we will make her regret coming!"

…

Today's episode really made people unhappy. In a blink of an eye, it was the second day.

Zhao Dong brought back a piglet from the old man's house. When Zhao Zhitong heard the news, he was still lying in bed.

Zhao Dong asked Butcher Zhao that day. His pork was collected from farmers, and then slaughtered by himself before being sold in the market.

So, the smell of pork is not because it is not fresh, or wild boar or something, but because of its own smell.

Sun Mei guessed that it was because there was no sterilization.

The **** hormones secreted by non-sterilized pigs will make the meat smell bad, while castrated pigs will not have this smell, and the meat will taste delicious.

More importantly, sterilized pigs are more conducive to fattening in a short period of time.

Because pork is very angry, they haven't eaten pork for a long time, so Sun Mei plans to raise one by herself, and then try to sterilize the pig.

But Zhao Dong thinks more long-term. If it succeeds, he plans to breed it on a large scale, and then supply it to various restaurants. This will be a big deal, which can make more money than grinding tofu.

So, after learning that the sows of the old man’s family were pregnant, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei went to their uncle and said they would buy two to raise.

Hearing the news, Zhao Zhitong didn't stay in bed anymore, got off the bed with a slam, and ran to the pigsty.

Sure enough, I saw a white pig, whimpering and screaming in the pigsty.

She was watching happily when Sun Kang came, and today he was going to take Zhao Zhitong up the mountain to collect herbs.

"Tongtong, your grandpa is here, come wash your face and eat the eggs."

Sun Mei called her at the kitchen door.

"Oh, I see~"

Zhao Zhitong responded, and ran over. He didn't let Sun Mei wash her face, so he scooped up water with his little hands, wiped his face a few times indiscriminately, and then went to wipe his face.

"Have you brushed your tooth yet?"

Zhao Zhitong doesn't like brushing his teeth very much, mainly because the wicker is used for brushing his teeth now, which makes the gums bleed easily.

But still obedient, go to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth obediently.

Then, he took the eggs that Sun Mei had already peeled, took a few mouthfuls, then picked up the porridge with white sugar, after gurgling and drinking, he wiped his mouth, cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm done eating, grandpa, let's go .”

Sun Mei has already brought her the small pannier, put a few boiled eggs in it, and poured the hot milk in the bamboo tube.

After obediently putting his back on his back, Zhao Zhitong took Sun Kang's hand and set off.

This is the first time to collect herbs in a real sense. Zhao Zhitong is very excited. Along the way, he is like a curious baby, chattering endlessly, asking what to ask.

"Wow, this little white flower is so beautiful, is it also a herbal medicine?"

"This is a herb that protects life. Its effects are to harmonize the spleen, diuresis, stop bleeding, and improve eyesight. It can treat dysentery, edema, gonorrhea, chyluria, vomiting blood, blood in the stool, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia, and red eyes and pain."

"Wow, this grass has such a long tail, is it also a herb?"

"This is dogtail grass, which also has medicinal properties. It can clear away heat and dampness; dispel wind and improve eyesight; detoxify; kill insects."

"Grandpa, grandpa, look quickly, there is an eagle~"
