As Mengyue hurried through the village, she tried to pick as many valuable herbs as possible and make some self-defense medicine.
However, most of the herbs were for scar removal. After all, her face had been ruined by Yun Ran. Even if she didn't care about her appearance, she didn't want to have a face full of scars.
After climbing over a mountain, Mengyue looked up at the big tree in front of her. The sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, and the ground was covered with shimmering spots of light the size of copper coins.
Suddenly, when she looked closely, she saw a flash of red in the grass not far ahead. It was so conspicuous that Mengyue couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
Even Mengyue, who had seen countless rare medicinal herbs, couldn't help but run over excitedly. She parted the grass and took a look. She saw palmate compound leaves with 6 whorled stem tops and bright red flat spherical fruits. Her guess came true.
A ginseng this big must be quite old. Now that I've found it, how can I let it get away? I immediately tore off a piece of my red clothing and threw it onto the branches.
After that, Mengyue cleared all the weeds around and started digging ginseng.
However, digging ginseng is quite particular and requires sufficient patience to dig out all the roots intact. It just so happens that what Mengyue has the most is patience.
You should know that the more complete the ginseng is, the higher its value and the higher the price it can be sold at.
Thinking about whether she could live comfortably in her old age, Mengyue started digging carefully. This digging lasted for three hours. She saw the ginseng on the ground. Not only were the roots intact, but the rhizomes were also thick, like a radish. If you looked closely, the shape looked a bit like a child's face. The ginseng was over a thousand years old.
This thousand-year-old ginseng was a treasure coveted by dignitaries, not to mention in ancient times, even in the 23rd century.
Mengyue accidentally got this ginseng and had no intention of selling it. She decided to keep it for future use. Who knows, it might be able to save someone's life one day.
After casually wrapping up the ginseng and putting it in the makeshift backpack, Mengyue realized that she was extremely hungry and felt like she could eat a whole cow.
It seemed she was so engrossed in digging that she didn't notice the passage of time.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Don’t be in a hurry to travel, but get something to eat first.
Then he walked to the rattan bed next to him, and saw three pheasants, two hares, and a little wild boar tied to it. These were all captured alive by Mengyue after she knocked them unconscious on the way.
The reason she captured it alive was that she was afraid that she could not eat it all at once, and the weather was hot, so she could not let it go if it was dead. So she thought of the method of knocking it unconscious with stones and capturing it alive.
After circling the rattan bed, Mengyue looked at her prey and pondered: What should she eat? Beggar's chicken, roast rabbit, or roast suckling pig?
Just when Mengyue was undecided, the anxious voice of the host rang out in her mind again: [Roast suckling pig, roast suckling pig must be eaten, host, let's eat roast suckling pig! ]
Mengyue had originally reached out to grab the little wild boar, but upon hearing her father's voice, she instantly changed her target to the pheasant.
He untied a pheasant and, ignoring its fluttering movements, he skillfully killed and bled it. After a while, he lit a fire and roasted the processed pheasant over it.
If you don't eat roast suckling pig, are you also not allowed to eat beggar's chicken? I remember beggar's chicken wasn't cooked this way. It was covered with mud and buried in the ground. Now it looks like roast chicken. Although roast chicken is also edible, I still want to try beggar's chicken.
Mengyue didn't want to pay attention to the shouting of the leader and directly blocked out the voice in her mind. She didn't know if it was because the leader's resentment of eating beggar's chicken was too strong, or for other reasons, but the voice she had just blocked out started to ring in her mind again.
Mengyue found herself very hungry and irritable. She just wanted to roast the chicken quickly, but she kept making noises all the time.
[I want to eat beggar's chicken, I want to eat beggar's chicken, the host has abused me, I am a poor little thing in this world.]
[Little yams! The fields are turning yellow! Someone please have pity on me!]
[Shut up, there's no water here, we can't live in mud, how can we eat beggar's chicken? Besides, it takes an hour to cook beggar's chicken, but roasting a chicken only takes half an hour.]
Somehow, the president overlooked the time it took to make beggar's chicken and roast chicken, and only heard that there was no water, so beggar's chicken could not be made.
