Chapter 85 Encounter with the Xie brothers and sisters
"Meimei, please contact the wet nurse. I need her to buy some things for me." Wei Ruo said enthusiastically.
First of all, Wei Ruo needs to prepare all the required materials, which are sawdust, wood shavings, rice bran or wheat bran.
These are the main ingredients for making mushroom buns.
Among them, wood chips and wood shavings account for the majority, with each accounting for about 40%.
These two items can be purchased at low prices from carpenters in the city.
The remaining rice bran and wheat bran are not difficult to obtain, and the price is not expensive.
The first purchase quantity does not need to be too large. Once the practice is successful and feasible, we will consider expanding the scale.
The task of purchasing was given to the nanny, while Wei Ruo himself needed to inspect the caves in Xingshan County to see if there were any caves with suitable temperature and humidity that met her requirements.
Wei Ruo made a plan and started taking action.
On this trip, Wei Ruo still brought Nanny Zhang with him.
Nanny Zhang followed Wei Ruo and gained not only a higher status in the south of the city, but also got a lot of good things from Wei Ruo. Just eating this made her a lot of money.
Wei Ruo did not let Nanny Zhang participate in other things she did, but she would let Nanny Zhang help cover herself up so that she could enter and exit the school captain's residence more conveniently.
Grandma Zhang was also kind, and she didn't say much after receiving benefits from Wei Ruo.
She is a person who is afraid of trouble. As long as Wei Ruo doesn't cause anything, she will naturally not bother to go to the Yun family to tell Wei Ruo's secret.
The mountains to the west are more barren and precipitous.
If the mountains to the north of the city still have the potential to be cultivated into terraced fields, then the mountains here are just out of the question. They are barren, steep, and full of rocks. They can only be used as Maoshan for cutting firewood. Only nearby firewood farmers and hunters can use it. visit.
The carriage couldn't go up the mountain, so it had to stop on a nearby road. Seeing Wei Ruo planning to go up the mountain, Nanny Zhang was worried: "Miss, I advise you not to go up this mountain. There is nothing on the mountain, so it's really not worth it."
"It's okay, I'll take a walk. This mountain is steep, and there might be a lot of valuable medicinal materials. This trip won't be in vain," Wei Ruodao.
The nearby villagers didn't know much about medicinal herbs, so Wei Ruo felt that the probability of picking medicinal herbs on such a dangerous mountain was still very high.
Of course, her main purpose was to see with her own eyes whether the number, size, temperature and humidity of the caves on the mountain were really natural cultivation chambers for mushrooms.
When Grandma Zhang saw this, she stopped trying to persuade her, but she herself was unwilling to go up the mountain: "Miss, I'll be waiting for you with the carriage at the roadside. This mountain is too dangerous. My legs and feet can't bear it."
"Well, it's okay. Just wait for me below. When you're tired, just get in the carriage and sleep for a while." Wei Ruo had no intention of taking Nanny Zhang up the mountain, otherwise she would have found her by then. Cave didn't even know how to explain it to her.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei went up the mountain together. They had done this kind of thing often before.
For Xiumei, as long as her young lady doesn't sneak up the mountain on her back, she will be Amitabha.
She was most afraid that her young lady would go all the way to the mountains and forests without telling her, and she would have to worry to death.
The two were about to go up the mountain when a group of people came from another trail in the distance. They looked familiar from a distance, but when they got closer, Wei Ruo recognized each other.
They are the Xie family siblings.
Xie Ying also recognized Wei Ruo, so she quickened her pace and trotted towards Wei Ruo.
"Ruoruo!"
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Wei Ruoru said.
Xie Jue, who followed Xie Ying, also said the same thing: "Yingying, did you hear that? Miss Wei also told you to be careful. This path is full of weeds, dead branches and gravel. It would be serious if you fall." Yes!"
"I'm fine, so don't worry about me." Xie Ying didn't think she would fall, she was so good!
Then Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, why did you come here?"
"I came to collect herbs from the nearby mountains." Wei Ruo replied, not telling the Xie brothers and sisters about growing mushrooms for the time being. Hearing this, Xie Ying's eyes lit up: "If Ruoruo gave me the one you gave me last time, I gave it to my mother. My mother had someone stew it and drink it using the method you mentioned. She said it was useful!" "As long as it works."
Wei Ruo smiled.
"So I'm going to collect the herbs this time! When I collect them, you can tell me how to use them!" With the successful experience last time, Xie Ying was very motivated this time.
Xie Jue listened in confusion and asked: "Sister, what medicine did you bring back to your mother last time? Is your mother sick? Why do you need to take medicine?" "This is our girl's family
matter, not yours. Say it!" Xie Ying dragged Wei Ruo aside, deliberately not allowing Xie Jue to hear their conversation.
Xie Jue had a headache: "Sister, after all, I have a share of mother. Can't I care about mother's physical condition?" "
No, no!" Xie Ying refused.
Xie Jue couldn't convince Xie Ying, so he went to Wei Ruo instead: "Sister Wei, tell me what's wrong with my mother?" "Your Majesty is fine
, please rest assured, Mr. Xie." Wei Ruo replied.
Xie Yingchong said with a proud look: "Brother, just give up, Ruoruo and I are in the same boat."
Xie Jue sighed helplessly: "Okay."
Xie Ying pulled Wei Ruo up the mountain, talking with Wei Ruo If chatting.
Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying: "By the way, why are you here?"
"You forgot, my home has a separate courtyard near here. My brother and I came here to look around, and then walked around nearby." Xie
Ying She has an active temperament, and she feels bored when she is always kept at home.
Now that Xie Jue was here, she looked for an opportunity and asked Xie Jue to take her out.
After walking for a while, Wei Ruo found some seven-leafed flowers.
Wei Ruobian picked them like treasures.
"Ruoruo, what is this?" Xie Ying asked curiously.
"This is called Seven-leaf Yitizhihua, also known as Chonglou. It is a good thing to detoxify snake venom. You can see it is easy to identify. Generally speaking, there are seven leaves in a circle, and there are also six. This thing is quite hard to find. Yes, I didn’t expect to be so lucky today, and I saw it when I went up the mountain." Wei Ruo explained.
Xie Ying took note of it carefully, and Xie Jue on the side also listened with interest.
Following Xie Ying, I searched around and found the same tree. I quickly called Wei Ruo to come over and identify it.
"Yes, this is the seven-leafed flower."
After receiving Wei Ruo's affirmative answer, Xie Ying dug up carefully.
After digging out a complete plant, he proudly showed off to Xie Jue: "Brother, look, I dug well." "
Well, my sister dug the most beautiful one." Xie Jue praised without principle.
My sister's must be the best, there is no need to doubt this.
Even if you just dig up a herb, it will definitely look better than what others dig.
After Xie Ying finished digging the seven-leafed flowers, she ran to see Wei Ruo picking grass from the ground.
"Ruoruo, isn't this a withered weed? Why did you pick it?" Xie Ying asked.
