Return to the small mountain village in 1981

Chapter 60 60: Your face whispers

Laochaopi that is more than three years old is still a rare Chinese medicinal material.

The main reason is that there are a lot of bees' cocoons in old nest honey.

These cocoon coats are an important source of its medicinal value. When used as medicine, it can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, increase immunity, relax muscles and activate blood circulation...

The beeswax of the new honeycomb will break into pieces with a gentle squeeze, because the beeswax of the new honeycomb is softer and the honey is easier to squeeze out.

Zhou Huaian finished squeezing the honey and said to Yang Chunyan: "Yan'er, what should I do with these nests that have been squeezed with honey?"

Yang Chunyan thought for a moment, "Put the spleen alone and send it to the pharmacy tomorrow for Dr. Wang to boil it himself."

Zhou Huaian nodded, "Do you have any gauze at home? There are still some impurities in the honey. I want to filter it again."

"Yes, I'll get it for you!" Yang Chunyan washed her hands, went back to the house, took out a piece of gauze, and handed it to Zhou Huaian, "Do you want my help?"

Zhou Huaian shook his head, "No need, I'll just lay out the basket and filter it."

Yang Chunyan nodded, went back and started cleaning the half of the flowers with Zhao Huifang.

The four people were divided into two teams, two of them cleaned, and the other two used guillotines to cut into short sections and spread them out to dry in large and small dustpans.

Li Qiuyue filled the last dustpan and said with a frown: "It seems that we need to take out a mat and lay it on the eaves to dry it out!"

"I'll get it!" Zhang Xiuxiang strode back to the house, brought out a mat, spread it on the eaves, and spread out the remaining half of the flowers to dry on the mat.

Zhao Huifang whispered to Yang Chunyan: "I have some inconveniences. Tomorrow Qiuyue will go to Ning'an with you."

Yang Chunyan understood instantly, "Is it because you are not on time?"

"It's a little messy!"

"When will I go to Ning'an to see Dr. Wang and pick up some Chinese medicine to treat me?"

"Okay!" Zhao Huifang smiled bitterly, "I used to have difficulties at home, so I kept putting off going."

Yang Chunyan patted her shoulder and said, "I'll go and have a look after waiting."

Mother Zhou fed the pigs, and Zhou Huaian gave her the remaining honey spleen, "Mom, put these in a jar and drink it with water."

Mother Zhou felt a little sad when she saw a large piece of capped honey placed in the porcelain basin, "So much! You're a prodigal, why don't you sell it for money?"

"Money, money, money, you know how to sell it! Making money is not just for food. If you don't have to pay for it, you won't eat it. Do you want to use the money to buy it and eat it?"

Zhou Huaian said, reaching out to take back the porcelain basin, "Don't forget it, give it back to me, I'll take it and sell it for two yuan more!"

"Get started! Bang~" Mother Zhou slapped his hand, "Son, you think I don't know how to eat!" After saying this, she angrily carried the porcelain basin towards the kitchen.

Zhou Huaian curled his lips and gave up the idea of ​​eating fried bee pupae. He squeezed the honey out of the gauze cloth, took the honey and beeswax back to the room and put them on the cabinet. He went out to the backyard to find a bamboo strip and made it into a straw bench. Split it and sharpen it to pick out bee pupae tomorrow.

Yang Chunyan and others took out all the herbs to dry and cleaned the yard. They saw that the eaves of the steps were crowded with dried rhizomes and half-flowers.

Mother Zhou put the honey spleen out and said to Yang Chunyan: "Yan'er, I put the herbs dried on the mat into a basket, as well as the Chen Ai and mint. You want me to take them out for you."

"Okay, bring me another sack. Pour out half of the flowers and put them into the sack. Keep the Chen Ai and mint for when I have time to make mosquito coils."

"Ok!"

"Auntie, you should make mosquito coils earlier! There are so many mosquitoes in the latrine that they bit my butt several times." Zhou Jiaming, who came back from the latrine, scratched his butt as he walked.

"Pick some Panax notoginseng leaves, rub them into pieces and apply them on your buttocks. The itching will go away in a while!"

"Oh! I'll give it a try." Zhou Jiaming scratched his butt and ran towards the backyard.

Yang Chunyan picked up the elm bark drying on the window sill and looked at it. She felt that it would be dry after another exposure to the sun. She should come back early the day after tomorrow to start work.After a while, Zhou Jiaming came back from the backyard and said to Yang Chunyan: "Auntie, grandma wiped the Panax notoginseng on me, and the itching is really gone."

Zhao Huifang smiled and patted him, "Okay, take your brothers and sisters to scoop water to wash your face and feet before going to sleep, otherwise you won't be able to scream again tomorrow."

Zhou Jialiang: "Wait a minute, the potatoes we roasted will be ready soon!"

Only then did Zhao Huifang see several dolls sitting around the fire, "You have stuffed the potatoes in for a long time? Have you taken them out and looked at them?"

Zhou Xiaoqian pointed to the old man who was sitting on the chair holding Zhou Xiaolin while sleeping, "My ancestor put it in for us. It will be cooked in a while."

"Here, let me take it out for you." Zhou Huaian came over with a poker and dug out a dozen black lumps from the fire, "Haha, there are also taro, let's see if they are cooked?"

Zhou Jiaming reached out and pressed it quickly, "It's cooked and ready to eat!"

Zhou Jialiang picked up one, threw it on the ground, and quickly pinched his ears with his hands, "It's so hot!"

Zhou Huaian gloated, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Just wait a moment and no one will snatch it from you!"

Zhou Jialiang curled his lips and said, "Dad, if you come here and wait until we dig out the potatoes, do you dare to say you don't want to eat them?"

"I'm not going to eat the rotten black potatoes you burned." Zhou Huaian glanced at him sideways, "Humph! Don't even think about eating the mints I bought tomorrow!"

Zhou Jialiang's lifeline was taken, and the potatoes were presented to him, with a flattering smile on his face, "Yao dad, you eat it, it's not enough for me to burn tomorrow!"

"That's pretty much it." Zhou Huaian patted him proudly, "Be good, my dad will buy you mints tomorrow!"

Zhou Xiaoqian also handed over a potato, "Yao dad, you eat it, I've already peeled off the skin of the potato for you."

"good!"

Zhou Xiaoru: "Yao dad, the cooked taro is also delicious!"

"Go get some bean paste for dipping, it tastes better!" Zhou Huaian crossed his legs with a look of enjoyment, thinking that it would be good to have a few kids, at least there would be someone to bring tea and water.

"I'll pick it up!" Zhou Jialiang turned around and ran towards the kitchen.

"It's so shameless for such an old man to fight for food with a child of just a few years old!" Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes at him, handed Zhou Xiaolin to Li Qiuyue, and went into the house to sleep.

Zhao Huifang and the others also felt helpless. The children they had worked so hard to raise had never served them like this!
In unison, they speeded up their hands, and after finishing cleaning up in a few seconds, they carried away a few of the dog-legged delicious babies.

Yang Chunyan glanced at it, then leaned back against Zhou Huaian on the recliner, "Huai'an, go and push out the chicken bus. We'll tie up the bamboo basket. We'll get up and leave tomorrow morning after dinner."

Zhou Huaian lazily stood up and looked at her, "The backyard is dark, let's push it together."

"Mom and the old man are picking bamboo poles in the backyard, you just go."

"Sit down and I'll squat in the hut." Zhou Huaian ran away kicking.

Yang Chunyan nodded, sat down and rubbed her sore calves, feeling like she couldn't even open her eyes.

At this time, the three brothers Zhou Huairong walked into the yard carrying lanterns and sacks, "Brother, how many eels were caught tonight?"

Zhou Huairong said with a simple smile: "Today's eels are not as many as last night, but Lazy Chan'er caught a few kilograms."

Mother Zhou came over with a bamboo pole in her arms, "Boss, have you visited Baogu Di?"

"Looking at it, we didn't see anyone, so we went to take photos of the eels."

The three brothers poured the eels in the basket into the bucket. The total weight in the two nights was more than 20 kilograms.
