Chapter 111: That fragrance, not to mention
Before this, she had tentatively asked Cuizhu if she knew about peanuts.
Unexpectedly, peanuts were not yet grown in their dynasty, which gave Ruan Mian a better excuse.
He just said that he picked wild fruits from nearby and took out a lot of them from the space.
Part of it is eaten raw as a snack, and part of it is stewed with pig's trotters.
Not to mention the fragrance.
It was also the first time that the Jinsha people smelled the aroma of this kind of food. Their eating habits were generally simple. They would cut the hunted food and roast it directly over the fire, and use some fragrant wild grass to remove the fishy smell when necessary.
But I have never seen one as complex and fragrant as hers.
So many people couldn't help but go to Ruan Mian to observe and learn.
She was generous and told them some of her cooking skills. As for the spices, she just said that they were brought from the city.
If there is a chance in the future, you can also sell it at Wu Heng’s market.
Seeing the white lard, she knew that it had other uses besides cooking.
The ointment that Mei Xi had made had been used up, and the weather here was so cold that many people's faces were cracked, and even she herself was not spared.
These lards are the main material for making ointment.
If you add some crushed and refined rosin oil at the right time, the smell will become much more fragrant.
She gave some to Wu Jie and the others. After applying it, their faces became much smoother and had a special fragrance. They all admired Ruan Mian.
Wu Jie was so grateful that he gave her the emerald in her hand.
"Madam Ruan, you are such a good person, and so smart."
Ruan Mian, of course, could not accept such a valuable gift from her. He simply said, "Lord Wu Jie, we are destined to share hardships and will be friends from now on. We should just help each other as much as possible, and don't worry about these formalities."
Seeing that she was not greedy for wealth, Wu Jie felt even more respect for her. Even Bai Lun stretched out his hand and bowed to her, offering the highest etiquette of their Jinsha tribe.
This is quite embarrassing.
She didn't know that Xie Huaian was watching everything she did silently.
This woman could always give him all kinds of surprises.
Under her magic hands and magic skills, his body miraculously recovered.
Even the old poison has not recurred, and I feel that my body is getting better every day.
Not only is she a good doctor, but she also seems to have pretty good luck...
Every time she goes out, she brings back a lot of good things. Take the wild fruits she ate recently, for example. She said she picked them nearby, but Minister Dong and Yun Xiu were nearby and had never seen this kind of wild fruit.
Minister Dong also found this very strange.
He also whispered to Xie Huaian, "My lord, Madam Ruan is amazing. She was able to find a lot of delicious food in this environment. Perhaps, I am too weak. I really can't find anything edible at all."
If it weren’t for Madam Ruan and her family’s support during this period, my husband and I would probably have starved to death!
Seeing his depressed face, Xie Huaian couldn't help but laugh and comforted him: "It's not that you are too weak, it's that Madam Ruan is too powerful. Look, she's gone out again."
Not far away, Ruan Mian had already put on his cloak and took his bow and arrow, ready to go out hunting.
Following behind him was his little follower Yun Xiu.
Xie Huaian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he took his cloak and wanted to follow. Dong Shilang hurried forward: "Sir! Your health is important. It's too cold outside. Let me..."
"No problem."
Xie Huaian strode out of the half-school and followed Ruan Mian and the others from a distance.
Today Ruan Mian wanted to catch some fish and make some fish soup for his family.
My father has been devoting himself to studying medicine these days, as if he has gone crazy. He has been neglecting food and sleep and has extremely strong concentration.
My mother was wholeheartedly taking care of my sister-in-law. Judging from the month, she would probably give birth soon.
She had to make some preparations in advance for her sister-in-law's delivery.
For her, she has everything with the space at hand, and all she needs is an excuse to use it.
Look, if you say you are going to catch fish, it doesn’t matter if you can’t catch any, you can always get something new from the space.
Today she walked a little further and asked Yun Xiu to break ice and fish on a frozen river, following the previous method.
She walked forward and took advantage of Yun Xiu's inattention to reach the riverbank upstream. When she was about to enter the space, she suddenly felt someone behind her!
She gripped the dagger tightly and unexpectedly pushed aside the grass!
Not far from the hilt of the knife was Xie Huaian.
"Sir? Why are you here?"
Ruan Mian quickly retracted the dagger. Xie Huaian pretended to be frightened, took a deep breath, and teased.
"I almost became a victim of your sword, Madam Ruan."
Ruan Mian smiled awkwardly: "Sorry."
"I'm the one who should admit my mistake. In this kind of environment, you should be more cautious."
He curled the corners of his mouth and walked to Ruan Mian's side. Now Ruan Mian could not enter the space, so he could only squat on the river and start to chop ice.
I asked him, "Why didn't you tell me before you came?"
Xie Huaian squatted opposite her, holding a stone in his hand and began to push hard. As the ice crackled, he did not hide anything.
"I just came to see how you find food. I want to learn from you."
Ruan Mian burst out laughing and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a scene behind Xie Huaian. His eyes lit up immediately and he stood up excitedly!
She was a little bit unbelievable. After blinking her eyes, she made sure that what was not far away was not an illusion. Then she immediately picked up her feet and ran forward quickly.
Xie Huaian was stunned and hurried to catch up.
"What happened?"
When asked, Ruan Mian acted as if he didn't hear anything and ran forward on his own.
When she stopped, she saw that the river basin in front of her was not frozen, and the water was flowing, extending far upstream.
This section of the river basin is full of running water. Under the sunshine, the water surface ripples and shimmers, and there are even several white wild geese swimming leisurely on the water.
Sensing Ruan Mian's sudden intrusion, the white geese were startled and flapped their wings to fly out of the water quickly and hide in the woods.
There was still a wisp of water vapor on the water surface, which looked like a dream and unreal against the snow.
Even Xie Huaian was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect that the river water in this upstream area would not be frozen.
There was clearly still a layer of ice on the river surface in the downstream area where they were. Although it was not thick, there was no visible flowing water like here.
And there was the bird, as big as half a man, with wings spread out like a human arm, broad and white.
"This kind of scenery is rare in heaven and on earth."
What he saw was such a beautiful scenery like a fairyland, but what Ruan Mian saw was plump goose meat and natural floor heating!
Since this section of the river basin is not frozen, the water temperature must be higher than that downstream. Does this mean there may be natural hot springs nearby?!
Thinking of this, Ruan Mian immediately turned around and said to him.
"My lord, this is a wonderful place. Let me go and look for some treasure nearby."
After saying this, he ignored Xie Huaian's attempts to keep him and ran towards the woods.
That's where the wild white geese disappeared.
There are white geese wintering here, which means that the real spring is not far away.
