Chapter 663 Identifying Food
At this time, Gu Lenghan was very excited, and his eyes were shining brightly.
He held Su Ruoyun's hand tightly.
"Ruoyun, thank you. Your idea is great."
Su Ruoyun saw Gu Lenghan happy, and she was happy too.
She smiled and said, "Then we can first investigate the situation in the village and try to build a pharmacy in it."
"By the way, isn't there an empty farm near you? You could also build a medicine workshop there."
“You can hire people nearby to do the work.”
“You can also collect medicinal herbs.”
Gu Lenghan nodded and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for the hard work."
Su Ruoyun shook her head and said, "I didn't feel it was hard. I just felt that what I learned from Third Aunt was finally useful."
"If Auntie San knew about this, she would be very happy too."
"Actually, this was the idea that Third Aunt first proposed."
"It's just that Third Aunt is too busy, so I don't think the pharmacy project will be finalized for a while."
"Also, the Great Yan Dynasty has many doctors and clinics. It's more convenient for people to go to the town to see a doctor than to go to the city to see a doctor in the Gulin Royal Court."
Su Ruoyun felt that she could make a lot of medicines, including medicines to repel mosquitoes and insects.
These things work well in the summer.
The two discussed this matter for a long time and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
After a good night's sleep, the rooster crowed at dawn the next day.
Hearing the sound, Su Ruoyun woke up.
The water used here is also drawn from the well.
But the good thing about the Ancient Forest Royal Court is that there are many springs, streams and rivers in the mountains and forests, so there is no shortage of water.
So wherever you dig a well in the village, you will find water.
It is also convenient to use water and irrigate the land.
After washing up, Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan made breakfast and ate it.
After breakfast, I saw the three sons of the village chief carrying baskets and preparing to go out.
"Luo Dazhuang, where are you going?"
Luo Dazhuang and the other two looked at Su Ruoyun with a reserved and respectful expression, saying, "Miss Su, we are going to the mountains to dig shepherd's purse and bracken."
Su Ruoyun raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Why are you going to dig shepherd's purse and fern? Aren't they said to be inedible?"
Luo Dazhuang was thirteen years old and said very honestly, "My parents said that Miss Su is the most amazing doctor. If you said shepherd's purse and fern are edible, then they are definitely edible."
Luo Dazhuang looked at Su Ruoyun with admiration.
The other two little ones, aged ten and twelve, also nodded seriously.
He looked at Su Ruoyun with a trusting look.
Su Ruoyun understood that it must be the medical skills she demonstrated last night that made the village chief and his wife believe her.
"You don't have to call me that. Call me Sister Su. I'm going to the mountains for a walk too. Let's go together. I can also help you with what you can and can't eat."
Luo Dazhuang and the other two looked at Su Ruoyun excitedly, smiling brightly and calling out cheerfully, "Sister Su!"
However, the three people were instinctively afraid of Gu Lenghan who was beside Su Ruoyun, and only called him Young Master Gu.
Su Ruoyun understood that Emperor Gu Lenghan had such a powerful aura, and it was unrealistic for Luo Dazhuang and the others to get close to him.
So if they want to call him Master Gu, just call him Master Gu.
In this way, the group walked into the nearby mountains and forests.
Su Ruoyun saw some mushrooms and started picking them.
Luo Dazhuang's face turned pale and he said, "Sister Su, you can't eat those!"
"Yes, yes, if you eat it you will be poisoned and die!"
Luo Erzhuang also nodded vigorously to remind Su Ruoyun.
Su Ruoyun patiently explained: "Don't worry, the mushrooms I picked are not poisonous and can be eaten."
"But, once upon a time, an elderly person in our village died after eating mushrooms because he was extremely hungry. The doctor said it was poisoning, so the villagers no longer dare to eat such things, and they don't even dare to try."
They were also repeatedly reminded by their parents to be careful to avoid these mushrooms when going up the mountain.
Don't touch these mushrooms either.
Su Ruoyun explained: "Don't worry, these mushrooms are edible, but some mushrooms are indeed not edible."
"As you know, I'm a doctor, so I can tell."
"Come here, I'll teach you how to tell the difference."
Luo Dazhuang thought about what his parents said about Sister Su’s great medical skills and how she saved Brother Shi’s life, so they believed her.
Besides, Sister Su ate food made with shepherd's purse last night and she was fine.
They believed her even more.
If they have one more kind of food, they won’t go hungry.
So they were more willing to believe her.
All three of them came over.
Su Ruoyun patiently explained: "Look, first look at where the mushrooms grow. Edible mushrooms, which are non-toxic, mostly grow on clean grass or trees, while poisonous mushrooms grow in damp and dark places..."
"Then look at the color. Poisonous mushrooms are brightly colored. The red ones you see are inedible... Especially the purple ones..."
"Also, look at the shape. This edible one is flatter on the top, and smoother on the other..."
"Also, look at the secretions. You tear the secretions open in the middle and look at what's inside. These edible ones are as cool as water, and some are white. But poisonous mushrooms are usually reddish-brown and can change color..."
"And the smell..."
Su Ruoyun explained in detail to Luo Dazhuang and the other two which types of mushrooms to pick and eat.
"Even if you can't remember and don't dare to eat anything else, just remember the types I picked. In the future, pick only these types and don't pick the others. It's safer."
"This one is edible, and this one..."
Su Ruoyun was picking mushrooms while searching.
Several species of edible mushrooms.
Perhaps because no one picked such things, Su Ruoyun found a lot of them in the mountains and forests.
It had just rained, and there were many mushrooms on the mountain.
After picking the fruits, Su Ruoyun put them in the basket on the back.
Looking at so many mushrooms, her eyes sparkled.
Mushrooms are delicious in soups and stir-fries.
After Luo Dazhuang and the others knew and remembered it, they picked the fruits quickly. When they thought that these were food, they became very motivated.
They were even more grateful to Su Ruoyun in their hearts.
"Thank you, Sister Su."
"You're welcome."
Walking in, Su Ruoyun saw fresh wood ear mushrooms again.
He even dug out the fungus.
Luo Dazhuang looked at him and hesitated to speak.
Su Ruoyun understood him very well and said, "Don't worry, this can be eaten too."
"But you can't eat fresh wood ear mushrooms. You have to process them when you get home, soak them in water and dry them in the sun. You also have to blanch them in boiling water before you eat them. Then you can eat them fine."
Luo Dazhuang and the other two looked as if they had suddenly understood something.
"Sister Su, you are amazing and know so much."
Luo Erzhuang said excitedly: "Sister Su, now we will have a lot of delicious food when we go back. I have picked up half a basket of mushrooms."
Luo Sanzhuang also picked up a lot, and the three of them were very excited.
He is also very motivated at work.
"You don't have to thank me. If you work hard to learn more skills, it will be easier to have enough food to eat."
All three of them nodded seriously.
However, when picking, Luo Dazhuang also picked two medicinal herbs.
"Da Zhuang, do you know medicinal herbs?"
Luo Dazhuang explained, "Sister Su, when my mother fainted before, she used these two herbs and bones to make soup and drank it, and she felt much better. So when I saw it, I picked it up and took it back."
Su Ruoyun thought of the plan to open a pharmacy, and her expression changed. "Can you remember all the herbs I told you?"
"Yes, if you put your heart into it, you will remember it."
Luo Erzhuang, "Brother, you remember things really quickly."
"Yeah, in the past, when my elder brother passed by the city and the academy, he could remember everything he heard people reciting."
Luo Dazhuang touched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Su Ruoyun felt that having a good memory was a good thing, as it made it easy for her to remember how to take and use each medicine.
When opening a pharmacy, you always need to train some people to be store managers.
He can't be completely ignorant of medical skills. At least if someone goes to the store and tells him what the problem is, he can accurately help find ready-made medicine.
Su Ruoyun seemed to be lost in thought.
However, Su Ruoyun said that wood ear mushrooms were edible, so they all believed her and picked a lot of wood ear mushrooms with her.
I also dug some shepherd's purse, fern and other wild vegetables.
When passing by the rice fruit tree, Luo Dazhuang and the other three walked past without looking around.
"Don't you pick these rice crackers?"
Luo Sanzhuang said seriously: "Sister Su, this rice cracker tastes terrible."
"Yes, Sister Su, unless we are very hungry, we will pick some and eat them. We don't eat them on weekdays, and our hands will itch easily after touching the rice cracker skins."
There are also a lot of rice crackers, and there are so many rice crackers on the tree that they are actually useless.
Su Ruoyun took out a pair of gloves and handed them to them, saying, "Can you help me pick some rice crackers while wearing the gloves? I want to go back and make something to eat."
Before, they might have explained that it was not edible.
But at this time they realized that whatever Sister Su said was edible was definitely edible.
Although they were confused, they quickly climbed up the tree to help Su Ruoyun pick the rice crackers.
Soon, Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan's backpacks were filled with things.
Now that the things were full, Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan prepared to go back.
Seeing Sister Su was going back, Luo Dazhuang and the others followed her.
After this trip, Su Ruoyun also got to know the mountains and forests here better.
There are abundant supplies and many kinds of things.
There are especially many medicinal herbs, and you can find some just by walking a few steps.
Although some medicinal materials are very common, they can become very useful medicines if they are prepared according to the prescription.
After returning, Su Ruoyun taught Luo Dazhuang and others how to clean and dry the fungus.
The three of them worked very diligently and efficiently.
Su Ruoyun looked at them and nodded secretly.
She looked at Gu Lenghan, who understood what she meant and nodded.
It is natural to see that the three brothers Luo Dazhuang are talented people with great potential.
After coming back, Su Ruoyun started peeling the rice crackers.
Luo Dazhuang and the others washed the fungus and hung it on the grate to dry. Seeing Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan busy, they took the initiative to think about helping out.
Su Ruoyun asked them to help peel and crush the rice crackers.
In fact, letting them help is also to help them remember how to make rice noodles.
It was the first time they had seen rice crackers made in this way, and they had to grind them very finely, releasing a lot of water.
To do this, you need to filter it step by step.
At noon, the village chief and his wife came back.
They went to Ishino's house to help in the morning.
Wait until I see Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan busy doing things.
Both of them hurriedly said, "Miss Su, Master Gu, we will do whatever you need us to do."
Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan were staying here temporarily and gave money to the village chief. The village chief refused to take it, but they insisted that it was accommodation expenses.
So the village chief and his wife felt very sorry and wanted to help Gu Lenghan and Su Ruoyun do everything.
Both of them are honest people.
Su Ruoyun said: "It's okay, this is a kind of food made from rice crackers."
"It's just right that I made it, so you guys can try it and see how it tastes."
"If you think it tastes good, you can also make it with rice crackers on weekdays."
Hearing Su Ruoyun's words, the village chief and his wife were stunned.
They couldn't believe that rice crackers could be used as food?
Over the years, they never knew what food rice crackers could be used to make.
But when I thought about the medical skills Miss Su demonstrated last night, and her saying that shepherd's purse was edible, it turned out that shepherd's purse was indeed edible.
They had to take her word for it.
But my heart is still full of doubts.
Su Ruoyun knew that it was useless to explain now. Only when they actually ate the rice noodles would they realize how useful rice crackers were.
At this time, Luo Dazhuang was even more excited and said to his parents: "Mom and Dad, look, Sister Su taught us a lot of things. These can all be made into food and eaten. Some mushrooms are poisonous, while others are not. These fungus can also be eaten. Sister Su said that as long as you soak them in water, wash them several times, dry them, and then blanch them in hot water before eating..."
Luo Dazhuang told his parents a lot.
The village chief and his wife were shocked and surprised, but when they came to their senses they were extremely excited.
If these things can be made into food, then their village will have more food to eat.
Wouldn't it be possible for everyone to have enough to eat without having to rely on hunting for food?
They do farm, but for some reason, the land here produces less of the same crops.
I heard that in Dayan Dynasty, one acre of land can produce three to four hundred kilograms of crops.
They planted wheat and corn, producing more than 100 kilograms per acre.
So they also need to hunt frequently to fill their stomachs with food.
Of course, they would also make some handicrafts, sew and make some things, and go to the city once every one or two months to exchange some food back to the village.
The same is true for the nearby villages, which only go to the city once every one or two months or two or three months.
Of course they also wanted to pick some spices, but spices were not so easy to pick.
So when they learned that there were several more kinds of food, they naturally couldn't help but get excited.
Of course, after seeing Su Ruoyun's medical skills, they believed what Su Ruoyun said.
What's more, they also knew that Miss Su and Mr. Gu had eaten shepherd's purse wontons last night, but they were there all night and morning, and nothing happened to them.
They also understood that Miss Su had such advanced medical skills that she would definitely be able to tell whether the food was edible or not.
So they subconsciously felt that what Miss Su said must be right.
