Chapter 41: Five Hundred Years
"Xiao Tian'er is back, come and come into the house and rest quickly!" Zhang Qiaoniang said with a smile.
Bei Sitian thought she had entered the wrong door for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that this was her house, so she looked at Zhang Qiaoniang.
"Aunt Qiao is here." Beth Tian said hello.
Zhang Qiaoniang looked at Bei Sitian, her waist straightened, her eyes didn't avoid people, and she didn't even shrink when she spoke, this person would indeed change!
Luo Anping ran into the house, lifted the lid of the water tank, picked up the water scoop and scooped a scoop of water, and drank it happily.
Bei Sitian threw the whip into the firewood room and entered the house, and Zhang Qiaoniang moved from the kang to the bench.
"Aunt Qiao has something to do with me?" Beth Tian asked.
This must be looking for something to do with her.
Zhang Qiaoniang smiled, "Xiao Tian'er, I heard that you have become the embroidery lady of Bao Niang's embroidery workshop, and my aunt is also an embroidery girl, I have liked embroidery work since I was a child, I am waiting for you to come back today, just to take a look at your embroidery, let me open my eyes!" ”
Bei Sitian thought it was something, it turned out to be this, she nodded and said: "Okay, but there is no new one yet, in two days, my aunt will come over and I will show my aunt, it is not enough to open my eyes, I am also constantly learning." ”
Zhang Qiaoniang even said yes, and chatted casually, if she doesn't leave, she can't go, it's all ordered, she has no eyesight to stay, and she has to cook when she goes home.
After Zhang Qiaoniang left, Qin said softly: "Look, in less than a day, the news that you are the embroidery lady of the Baoniang embroidery workshop will have to spread throughout the village." ”
Beth smiled sweetly, it was better to spread the word, so she didn't have to hide it, this family had to get better sooner or later, and she couldn't stay poor.
When she recovers completely, she is not afraid of being watched by others.
After dinner, it was dark, for a month and a half, at least a month and a half had been eating white-flour steamed buns, the faces of the Luo Erjia family were getting better and better, Bei Sitian's face was full of meat, and Luo Anping didn't look so thin and thin, but the white-flour steamed buns alone were not enough.
During this time, Bei Sitian always finds some game or herbs when she herds sheep, which is used to make some simple medicinal diets to improve everyone's physique, but the effect of those things is limited, and her spirit has not fully recovered, so she plans to go into the mountains one day to see if she can find some good things.
In the past two days, Bei Sitian has made a lot of insect repellent and beast repellent powder, and also prepared some special talisman powder for emergency use.
With these things, as long as she doesn't meet the bear blind, she will be fine.
After getting ready, Bei Sitian said a word to the Qin family and went out, she didn't dare to say that she would enter the mountain, for fear that the Qin family would not agree.
Luo Anping didn't know where to go to the village, and he would come back when he was herding sheep.
Beth Tian went up the mountain from the northern slope where the sheep were grazing, where it was easier to enter the mountain, and some hunters also entered the mountain from here.
The mountain here is not steep, but it is easy to get lost in it if you go deeper inside, so those who are not familiar with it will not dare to go inside without Orion with you.
Strictly speaking, after the north slope, it is considered to enter the mountain, but because it is far from the north slope, many sheep will also come here to graze, so there are basically no good things here, and there are a lot of camelina vegetables.
Bei Sitian continued to walk, making marks as she walked, although she was not road blind, and she had never slept in the mountains in her previous life, but the mountains were different from the mountains, and with a cautious attitude, she still made marks in order to find the way back.
When she reached a high slope, Bei Sitian stopped to rest for a while, and then continued walking.
I heard from the people in the village that there are some wild astragalus in the mountain, and if you look for it, you can dig it up, and in addition to hunting, she will also dig some herbs to buy in the town, so she also wants to dig some wild astragalus this time.
Astragalus is a good herb for replenishing qi.
Astragalus likes coolness, is cold and drought tolerant, and is afraid of heat and waterlogging, so the places that Bei Sitian is looking for are placed in meadows on the slopes of mountains and sparse forests, which are the best places for Astragalus to grow.
Because she was looking for it purposefully, and Bei Sitian was an experienced person, she found some astragalus after a while.
Bei Sitian carefully dug out the astragalus and put it into the grass basket at the back, digging a total of three.
I found a few more places, and dug up three or four roots one after another, Bei Sitian stopped looking for astragalus, if I could find some wild wolfberries, it would be good if I could find some wild wolfberries, but I really couldn't find them, so I went to the market to buy some dry goods, so that there were all the ones that replenished qi and blood.
Goji berries and the like are not particularly valuable herbs, but astragalus wolfberry is excellent for replenishing qi and blood.
Bei Sitian carries a straw basket on her back, the straw basket is a little different from the back basket, but it is carried on both shoulders, and it is relatively deep, there are many things that can be loaded, and there are few things on the back basket, so you have to carry it on one shoulder.
On the way into the mountain, Bei Sitian sprinkled insect repellent powder on her body, and saw a lot of snakes and insects along the way, but none of them were poisonous, but she didn't like this kind of soft crawling insects very much, and they generally hid round.
Descending down the hillside, Beth Tian came to a valley, where there was a ravine, the water did not flow much, and it flowed sparsely between the mountains and rocks, which was the mountain and water.
Bei Sitian walked on the rocks, the water is too shallow, you can't see the fish, look at this, at least there is a waterfall or lake in front of you, I don't know how big it is.
While walking and searching, Beth Tian also found a lot of herbs, all of which were common herbs, which were also beneficial to their current condition.
As she walked, Bei Sitian's eyes suddenly flashed, and her face was happy, seeing what she had found, a wild He Shou Wu!
Bei Sitian hurriedly ran over, and He Shou Wu grew among the stone gaps.
Because it grows between the cracks in the stones, if you want to dig it out without hurting the rhizome, you can only move the stone away, but fortunately, the stone is not too big, and Bei Sitian also pushed away a piece with great effort.
After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, she began to dig up this He Shou Wu plant.
Now there are very few wild He Shou Wu, most of them are artificially planted, so a He Shou Wu can be sold for a lot of money, Bei Si Tian can not roughly estimate the price, but wild He Shou Wu is very precious everywhere.
I don't know the age of this He Shou Wu, but there are few people in this mountain stream valley, and it should be at least a few decades old.
Look at the year of Polygonum multiflori, it depends on the weight of its rhizome, the heavier the year, the higher the grade.
Bei Sitian didn't want to hurt the rhizome, so it took more than an hour to dig out the whole rhizome, and she was shocked when she dug it out.
Beth Tian pulled off the dirt on the top, revealing a reddish-brown oval rhizome, and her heart was surprised and delighted.
She weighed it, and it weighed nearly three kilograms!
To grow into such a weight of Polygonum multiflori, it will take at least four or five hundred years, and judging by the powderiness and weight of this plant, it must be more than five hundred years!
Unexpectedly, the first time she entered the mountain, she dug up the treasure!
It is very common for more than 100 years old wild Polygonum multiflorum to sell for tens of thousands, let alone this 500-year-old wild Polygonum multiflori!
