Zhao Wei, who had been aggrieved all night, woke up in the morning with a refreshed look on his face. He hummed a little tune and tapped his legs, looking like a real dandy.
Yunxiu angrily threw the filth-stained bellyband at his face, obviously a little angry.
Because she didn't sleep the whole night. Zhao Wei had just been out of bed for two days, but he was just like an animal, making her suffer.
Zhao Wei knew he was in the wrong and quickly begged for mercy.
"Wife, I called our mother and told her that you have a backache and asked her not to disturb your rest. Just go to sleep and don't be angry!"
"snort!"
It was the back of Yunxiu’s head that responded.
"Tsk tsk...are you really angry?" Zhao Wei smiled like a cat that stole some fish, and coaxed her patiently: "When I come back, I'll make you something delicious. I guarantee it's something you've never eaten before, and it'll open your eyes for the rest of your life."
Yunxiu's muffled voice came from under the quilt: "Is there anything I haven't eaten? Haha... I don't want it!"
These days, she has been eating delicious and spicy food, and has tried seasonal mountain vegetables, as well as various wild flowers and weeds. She has really tried everything edible.
Although I don’t know where Zhao Wei learned these tricks, but with her current level of knowledge, is there any food in this world that can amaze her so much?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wei actually leaned close to her ear and whispered maliciously: "I want to treat you to a meal, Shi Nai! You have never eaten this before! Hehe..."
Even though they were a couple who slept together every day, Yunxiu still blushed with shame when she heard Zhao Wei's rude words.
"Asshole, is that something I can eat? Get out of here, aren't we going up the mountain? Get out now and stop disturbing my rest."
She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would get up and scratch this talkative man to death.
Zhao Wei was driven out of the room very depressed. He knew Yunxiu had misunderstood. However, it was harmless, so he let her continue to be shy for a while, hahahaha…
At this time, more than 400 strong men had arrived outside the Zhao family's yard.
They all carried the baskets and axe from their homes as Zhao Wei's apprentices had requested in advance.
Master Lin is here too.
He had no banquet to prepare that day, so naturally he wanted to go up the mountain with Zhao Wei and the others.
Zhao Wei was naturally happy to take him along, after all, Master Lin was quite capable.
He is even better than Erlaizi, but unfortunately, he is not interested in this and only wants to learn how to cook.
Zhao Wei took him with him and taught him step by step how to identify edible mushrooms.
At this time, the rainy season in the mountains has not yet arrived. Although mushrooms do grow in the forests, their numbers are always very small.
Zhao Wei asked the men to pick them and save them for seeds.
At the same time, they were also told some ways of eating and precautions related to this mushroom.
The people present then realized that they had gone into the mountains today to get this. They heard that it was edible and tasted good, so naturally their appetite was aroused.
Finally, you need to look for wood that can be used to grow mushrooms - birch and basswood, preferably old wood. After a long period of wind and rain, and decomposition by microorganisms, the wood becomes loose and the nutrients are more easily attracted and utilized by mushroom mycelium.
Growing mushrooms requires a very humid environment. Zhao Wei's home does not have such a terrain, so he puts them in a cave dug in the backyard.
Of course, the cellar used to store food was also filled to the brim.
If there is such a damp place in the villagers' home, they can just throw the wood there, plant the mycelium, and let the rest grow on its own.
A suitable piece of wood, if well cared for, can be harvested for three or four years.
If you grow a lot, you can exchange it for money or other daily necessities.
Everyone learned that this thing was very easy to grow, and that Zhao Wei's family already had a successful case, so there was an endless stream of people carrying wood, and they wanted to move all the suitable wood on the mountain down the mountain.
While everyone was busy with this, Zhao Wei did not forget to prepare delicious food for Yunxiu.
He wanted to nourish Yunxiu's body, so after wandering around in the mountains and forests, he soon found some wild peach trees.
These peach trees are all grown wild, and it is unknown how old they are. The trees are tall and sturdy, making them difficult to climb.
Even if peaches are produced in the future, if you want to eat them, you will probably still have to use a combination of wits and courage.
At this time, the peach blossoms on the trees are in full bloom, and the tree trunks are secreting peach gum.
After the yellow liquid flows out, it will solidify into a jelly-like substance.
After he picked peaches from several peach trees with a bamboo basket, he only got less than one-fifth of the peach gum.
Judging from the appearance, it is just enough for a family to eat.
After collecting the peach gum, he also has to make something called cassava flour.
After consulting these old farmers with rich production experience, I learned that there is no such thing as cassava in the mountains around Yushudun, and no one has even heard of it.
I guess the soil and water here cannot grow this kind of plant.
However, it doesn’t matter, you can still find many substitutes, such as corn starch or sweet potato starch.
Other things are not easy to get, but sweet potato starch is very easy to get.
After all, many families have no rice, cornmeal, buckwheat noodles, sorghum rice, etc. The only thing they can eat is potatoes and sweet potatoes.
This thing has been a staple food in people's lives for a long time and has saved many lives.
After dealing with these two ingredients, he still had the best step, which was to get milk.
This job used to be done by the cowherd Mantun. After he died, Zhao Wei handed the task over to Old Zhoutou, a man from the same village who had more experience in animal husbandry.
After bringing the men back to the village, he couldn't wait to go to Lao Zhoutou's house with a thick bamboo tube.
The cattle, horses, mules and other livestock raised in this place are the wealth of the village and the villagers' last bit of food reserve. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they absolutely do not want anything to happen to these animals.
Zhao Wei came at a very appropriate time. It was said that a cow had given birth to a calf yesterday, and the mother cow was now producing milk, so it was a perfect time to milk it.
However, Old Zhou didn't dare to do the milking job. The cow was particularly fond of her calf, but if a stranger approached, she would scream and run around in a rage, which could crush people to pieces if they were not careful.
Old Zhou was not very familiar with the cow, so he couldn't do it, mainly because he was afraid of death.
Therefore, Zhao Wei had to do it himself.
Zhao Wei had never done this kind of work, but he had seen milking advertisements.
I imagined that feeling, and then carefully touched the cow while she was eating grass!
