Chapter 35 Two Bowls of Cornmeal
Li Yuzhi boiled the medicine that Sang Ning had collected and fed some to the old lady.
Sang Ning crushed it again and applied it externally to the old lady.
Although the old lady didn't wake up, her breathing was much stronger than it was then.
After finishing her work, she waved and called the three children over, and took out the little things she had picked on the mountain.
A handful of okra.
The scientific name is Asparagus cochinchinensis, and it is called differently in many places. Some people also call it hanging loquat, brush vine, orchid, sheep's milk, etc.
This is a good thing, it's full of treasures.
The leaves can relieve cough and reduce phlegm, while the stems can nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang, and replenish essence and qi.
The white juice inside the fruit can also remove warts.
She picked the tender fruits, which were crispy and delicious.
"Don't eat it all at once, save some for the wolf meat."
The three children were very surprised. They had never eaten this before. Was it delicious?
They all had stern faces just now, but now they are happy.
The little ones were very good at observing people's expressions. As soon as Sang Ning came back and gave the old lady medicine, everyone relaxed and of course they were no longer afraid.
"Delicious! Crunchy and sweet."
Xiao Jinxin put it away first and whispered, "I'll wait for grandma to wake up and eat with her."
"So good!" Sang Ning touched her head.
It turns out that girls are like little cotton-padded jackets. The old lady will be happy when she wakes up.
It doesn’t matter if the ungrateful Yun Shuixian is gone, I still have my obedient little granddaughter!
Sang Ning also gave Xie Yurou a hand, after all, she was a double body and would get hungry quickly.
She took care of everyone before coming to Huo Changan.
Huo Changan was holding a branch and grinding it with a stone, making one end sharp, probably intending to make an arrow.
Seeing the stick tied to him, Sang Ning was very dissatisfied.
"Don't be so anxious. Let's find a doctor to correct the lumbar spine first."
She wanted to remove the stick, but Huo Changan pushed her away with his hand.
He didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes and resisted silently.
"No, it's of no benefit to the body. Why suffer this?"
Huo Changan's eyes flickered as he glanced at Sang Ning's empty hands.
Then he looked at Jintang who was eating okra with a "crunching sound".
Just don’t talk about taking apart the stick.
"You want to eat too?"
"...I don't want to." The young man said in a muffled voice.
Sang Ning thought about it and felt that it was normal for patients to have some weird psychology sometimes.
"Wait a minute."
Huo Changan saw her turn and leave, and opened his mouth but didn't call her.
He picked up a small stone and threw it at Jintang.
"Fourth uncle, what are you doing?"
"You only know how to eat alone, why don't you ask me?"
"Don't you want to eat?"
Jintang was a little confused, but still reached out and handed over two.
"I don't want to eat." Huo Changan refused.
Then continue to teach: "Whether I eat or not is my business, but you have to ask, it's polite."
"If I say I won't eat, it doesn't necessarily mean I don't want to eat. And if I say I want to eat, it doesn't necessarily mean I really want to eat. Do you understand?"
don't know.
Does Fourth Uncle want to eat or not? He was not like this before. He would just say what he wanted to do.
Why do I feel like his father now? As my second uncle said, he has gone through eight twists and turns in one sentence.
It’s so difficult!
My aunt said behind my fourth uncle's back that he is moody and unpredictable, and it's true.
She's normal in front of Fourth Aunt, but in front of them... she's not happy.
Sang Ning came back quickly and brought back some grass.
"Here, have some of this."
"What's this?"
Although Huo Changan asked, he started eating without waiting for Sang Ning to answer.
"It's the grass of the hornberry."
The chewing action paused.
Give Jintang and the others fruits to eat, and give him grass to eat?
Is he not worthy to eat the fruit?
"Don't underestimate this grass. It's very useful! I left it specially for you."
specially……
The boy began chewing again.
Not to mention, this grass is very fresh and tender, and has a unique flavor.
"Is it more effective than fruit?"
"Big! Of course it's big! That's all I brought back. Come and eat it."
After Sang Ning finished speaking, he observed that Huo Changan finished eating with great relish.
She understood.
Is this what the Fourth Master Huo is like?
Isn't this a child?
He's also trying to get close to his nephews and nieces!
She will know how to stroke her hair from now on.
"Can you take the stick off now? Your body is your capital for fighting, you must cherish it. Don't be disobedient like Jintang."
Huo Changan didn't hesitate at all this time and untied the rope himself.
Sang Ning praised with a smile: "Good boy!"
Huo Changan: "..."
Something seems wrong?
Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu have already dealt with the two wolves, but their fur is still a mess, which is a pity.
The blood was not drained cleanly, and the fishy smell was very strong. It would be difficult to swallow if you roasted it like this.
"Hey, Madam Four, there's not much water left. It's hard to handle. Just eat it."
Sang Ning glanced at Hu Si who was lying there weakly.
Most of his left arm was gone. He used all the medicine and tied it tightly with cloth before the bleeding stopped.
If there is no subsequent infection or fever, you will be able to survive.
If you don't handle it properly, you're dead.
Wolf meat is hot in nature and can cause allergies.
Hu Si loves to eat meat.
"It's okay. I heard that wolf blood strengthens the waist and bones, replenishes qi and nourishes blood. It's good for you men to eat it, but for us women and children, we should wash it again."
Sang Ning said casually and squatted down to deal with it together.
Hu Si stared at the wolf meat gloomily, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
He wants to survive.
Can't die here.
Not to mention, Sang Ning, who has eaten all kinds of delicious food, has never cooked wild wolf meat.
The main reason is that in modern society, wild wolves are rarely seen and are also nationally protected animals, so eating them is illegal.
But wolves belong to the Canidae family, which is similar to dogs.
She first picked out the wolf tenderloin, cut it into thin slices, poured a little water to wash away the blood, coated the iron pan with a layer of oil, and fried it for the child to eat.
Except for Xie Yurou who took care of the old lady, everyone in the Huo family came to help.
Of course, they were worried about Sang Ning being alone among the yamen runners.
Sang Ning felt warm in his heart.
In her previous life, she lost her family early and had to live on her own at the age of twelve.
Although she made many like-minded friends later on, people came and went, and in the end she was still alone.
I wonder how long I can get along with the Huo family?
The wolf meat slices cooked quickly. Before we could even smell the aroma of Du Shan’s large piece of barbecued meat, the fried meat here was already cooked.
"It smells so good, Madam Four, why is yours different from ours?"
Du Shan shamelessly took a piece and ate it first.
The thickness is just right, the meat is tender and crispy, and it tastes much better than the tough meat he grills!
Before I could grab some more, Sang Ning had already quickly scraped it all into the bowl with a spoon, then sprinkled salt and a little fennel powder.
Passed it to Jintang: "Eat with your sister!"
Du Shan: “…”
He scratched his head and smacked his lips.
Looking at the big piece of barbecue with blood in his hand, it suddenly lost its flavor.
"Fourth Madam, how about this? You help fry all the meat, and I'll give you two bowls of cornmeal."
