Chapter 30 Herb Collection
After Tang Yue prepared the salted duck eggs, she entered the space from the bedroom and used a machine to beat the soaked mushrooms into small pieces. She then used a gauze to filter and squeeze out the water inside, which was about 40 grams. She then took 20 grams of dried chilies and beat them into small pieces. She heated the pan and poured in five grams of oil. She first poured in the peanuts, then the dried chilies and mushrooms, and finally poured in the ginger, garlic, sesame salt and soy sauce. She stir-fried them for a while and put them in large bowls, two large bowls in total.
The mushroom sauce was too hot to be bottled now, so Tang Yue prepared to wash some chili peppers and put them in the oil to dry. She washed several hundred of them, which would be used to make chili powder. This kind of chili was quite spicy and could be used for many years.
Now that she had bought so many jars, Tang Yue was going to pickle sauerkraut, pickled white radish and carrots, pickled peppers, pickled garlic, and sliced ginger. Homemade ones were no worse than those bought before. Tang Yue washed them all and placed them on the dough to dry, and would make them when she had time tomorrow.
The mushroom sauce had cooled down, so I put it in glass jars. I put in several large jars and took a few small jars. I will take them out and put them in the storage room later.
Tang Yue came out of the space and put the mushroom sauce in the storage room. She put it on the ground before the shelves were delivered. Seeing that it was already past 1 a.m., she took out the solar lamp, turned it on, walked out of the living room, came to the yard, put the wild vegetables and mushrooms pushed outside into the space, returned to the bedroom, entered the space from the bedroom, and came to the bedroom of the space, preparing to count the villagers' money first.
Count out 20,000 of the 27,200 yuan from last time and put it in the cabinet under the dressing table, so there are 65,000 yuan in it. There were 3,000 yuan left on the table last time, plus the 7,200 yuan now, there are more than 10,000 yuan. Count out 5,000 and put them in the drawer below, so there are 70,000 yuan below. Count out another 3,132 yuan, which will be given to the team leader tomorrow to avoid him from thinking about it. There are still 2,000 yuan left on the table, so put it there for now, and take out the remaining few yuan in change and put it in the drawer.
I came out of the space, put the change into the cabinet, put the more than 3,000 yuan in the backpack, and went to the kitchen to boil water, take a bath and go to bed. It was already past 12 o'clock when I finished packing, so I turned off the lights and went to bed.
I slept too late at night and could not get up the next morning. When I woke up, it was already around seven or eight o'clock. I washed my face, ate breakfast, put on my backpack and ran to the captain's house.
When I arrived at the captain's house, the door was not locked, so I walked in while shouting, "Uncle Captain, is Aunt Guihua home?"
"Here, here, come in," Aunt Guihua's voice was as loud as ever.
Tang Yue walked into the living room, where the team leader and Aunt Guihua were sitting and chatting, "Uncle, Aunt, those wild vegetables and mushrooms have been collected. I came here today to bring the money, and I would like to trouble you to distribute them to them."
After Tang Yue finished speaking, she handed the 3132 yuan in her backpack to the captain, who took it and counted it. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and said, "Uncle, I've given you the money, and this matter is over. I won't admit anything if there is any report in the future."
When the captain heard what Tang Yue said, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, it will have nothing to do with you from now on. By the way, will you still accept it next year?"
"I don't know for now. He will know whether it is popular or not after he sells it. If he still wants it, I will tell uncle."
Tang said, if there is anyone who can't resist the charm of money, then the money must be too little. At the beginning, the team leader was very hesitant, but now that he sees the money, he is asking about next year.
"Girl Yue, the extra straws will be divided up today, but your work points will be deducted. Do you want some?"
When Tang Yue heard this, she thought to herself, I might as well go up the mountain to collect more pine needles and firewood. "Uncle, I don't want that. I'm going to go up the mountain to chop firewood later. My firewood shed is so big, I have to fill it up anyway", and then she said goodbye to the team leader Aunt Guihua. She really didn't want to go up the mountain today.
After returning home, Tang Yue got a lot of vegetable leaves for the chickens. She planned to stay in the mountains for two months and wanted to pick some herbs in the valley. It was getting colder and colder, so she didn't want them to freeze to death. She locked the gate from the inside and all the keys to the house, then went out from the backyard, locked the door and walked straight up the mountain.
I walked along the path I had taken last time. The wild vegetables were all old so I didn't pick them. I walked straight to the valley. It was already past 12 o'clock when I arrived at the valley. I took a steamed bun from the space as a meal. After eating, I took out the herbal medicine collection and looked at a picture to find a type. The herbs required were different in different parts of the body, so I would pick whichever part was needed. Most of the herbs needed in the beauty recipe were available here. The valley was only about 15 acres in size. By the evening, Tang Yue had only picked one-third of them. It was too late, so she would leave the rest for tomorrow.
Tang Yue entered the space, preparing to spend the night in the space. It was getting colder outside, and the time in the space was longer. She prepared to make two padded jackets in the space tonight, boiled water for a bath first, came to the yard and sat on a stone bench, poured a cup of spiritual water and drank it, and carefully looked at the space with her mind, and found that there were hens about to brood, there were four hens, withdrew her mind, came to the storage cabinet, took out the eggs from the cabinet marked with eggs, Tang Yue wanted to pick them out, and took the eggs that could hatch chicks to the hens to incubate, and finally picked 80 eggs, put 20 in each nest, and put the four hens that were going to hatch chicks in the nest, letting them hatch by themselves and leaving them alone.
I took out all the eggs that couldn't hatch chicks when I picked them just now and boiled them. Then I went to the kitchen, put the boiled water into the bathroom, then put the water into the pot, put the eggs in, added a handful of firewood, took the clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower, I washed the clothes and hung them in the yard. I went into the kitchen to take a look and saw that the eggs were cooked. I took out the bucket for eggs, put the eggs in it, and then put it in the warehouse.
Use your mind to wash the herbs you just dug by the river, take out the oil and dry them on the ground. After they are dry, go back home and prepare them. Keep some seedlings of each herb and plant them in the space when the time comes. Especially prepare the herbs on the beauty recipe, which also require some flowers. After the grain is harvested, plant one acre of each. For places where the herbs cannot be used, dry them and use them as firewood.
She took out food and meat from the warehouse and had dinner. After dinner, she cleaned up and took out fabric and cotton from the warehouse and went to the bedroom. She also took the sewing machine to the bedroom and prepared to make a padded jacket. It was just right to wear now. She cut the fabric and added cotton to the sewing machine. Padded jackets have no sleeves, so they are much faster to sew than cotton-padded clothes. It took about an hour to make one. She tried it on and felt it was pretty good. Then she made another padded jacket, one red and one blue, which were pretty good.
After making the clothes, I put the radishes, ginger and garlic that were hung out to dry yesterday into plastic buckets and put them in the warehouse. I will soak them in the jars when I get home. I didn’t bring the jars with me. In fact, snow water is best for pickling sauerkraut, but it’s okay. I can soak them when it snows. I turned over the chili peppers that were hung out to dry yesterday and turned them over to continue drying.
I can't fall asleep so quickly, so I took out my computer and prepared to learn the technique of skinning a rabbit. The video looks a bit bloody, and I don't know if I can do it when the time comes, but I have to do it even if I can't. The space rabbits are almost flooding. There are at least several thousand rabbits in the space now. Fortunately, there are enough grasses over there for them to eat. I watched the video several times and it didn't seem difficult. I don't know if it will be difficult when I do it. But I can try to control it with my mind. I can try to kill the rabbit and skin it with my mind. This method is worth a try.
The machine I bought before can be assembled with my mind according to the manual, so it doesn't make sense that I can't kill rabbits with my mind now. I turned off the computer and went back to my room to sleep. I still have so many herbs to pick tomorrow. I have to hurry up and dig yams after picking them. But I don't seem to have brought a hoe with me. I have to go back to the brigade to borrow a hoe. I can't buy farm tools privately. I need the brigade's seal. Next time, ask the brigade leader to help me buy all the farm tools.
The next morning, Tang Yue got up very early, packed up and had breakfast, then came out of the space. It was just daybreak in the valley, and she began to pick herbs according to the pictures in the herbal book. She picked them from dawn to sunset, and finally she had picked all the herbs in the valley. She only ate a bite to fill her stomach. All the herbs in the field were gone except for the seedlings and mature ones, which gave them space to grow.
Tang Yue planned to stay in the space for another day and go home at dawn the next morning. After entering the space, Tang Yue went to the kitchen to boil water and prepared to kill a chicken to see if she could do it with her mind. She hadn't had chicken soup for several months and was craving for it.
Put the dried herbs in the yard into the warehouse first and prepare them when I get home. Then use your mind to wash the herbs picked today by the river. Then take out the oil basket from the warehouse and dry it in the yard. There are too many herbs, and they are piled densely on the oil basket. Fortunately, you only need to dry them.
Tang Yue suddenly remembered that Uncle Li would deliver the goods tomorrow, so she forgot about it and had to get up earlier and go home earlier tomorrow.
The water in the pot boiled, and a basin filled with boiling water was placed in the yard. Tang Yue controlled a rooster with her mind, and then controlled the kitchen knife to cut the neck, letting the blood drip into the bowl. She then rolled the chicken in boiling water for a few times, and used her mind to control the plucking of the feathers. Soon all the feathers were plucked out, and then she used her mind to cut open the chicken's belly, leaving the heart and throwing the rest into the toilet. It disappeared in a moment.
Tang Yue felt confident that she could kill the rabbit with her mind, so she chopped the chicken into pieces, added onions, ginger, garlic and cooking wine to the pot, poured the chicken in to blanch it, then took it out and rinsed it with cold water. She cleaned the pot and poured more water into it, then poured the chicken into the pot, added ginger slices and salt, covered the pot with a lid, and let it simmer slowly. She boiled water in a pot next to it for a bath, and after the bath she hung the clothes outside.
The chicken still needs to be stewed for a long time before it can be eaten. With nothing to do, Tang Yue prepared to make a quilt. Last time she made a mattress, this time she planned to make a quilt that was three meters by four meters. For a quilt that big, she would use 20 grams of cotton. She took out white cotton from the warehouse. She used black cotton last time. This time, in order to distinguish it from the one that is covered on the body, she would use white cotton so that she would not make a mistake when folding and washing it.
Measure the quilt and sew all three sides with a sewing machine. Then stuff 20 grams of cotton into it and spread it evenly. Then use a sewing machine to sew it more tightly so that the cotton will not run everywhere. Sew the remaining edge of the quilt as well. The quilt is now ready.
