Chapter 77: Indignation
Tung oil is an excellent drying vegetable oil with the characteristics of fast drying, light specific gravity, good gloss, strong adhesion, heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and rust prevention, and has a wide range of uses.
However, its uses in this era were not so wide. It was used for lighting, anti-corrosion, and lubrication of agricultural tools.
Shen Qingqian was considering that after they arrived in northern Hubei, they would most likely be assigned to open up wasteland or something, so it was always a good idea to prepare something in advance.
When she told them about this, the others became a little unsure.
Sheng Ze looked up at the direction Shen Qingqian pointed, then turned to the crowd and said, "Listen to Sixth Miss. However, it looks like there are more than three or two tung trees ahead. It won't be too late to collect tung fruits on the way back."
When you go, look for the location of the things you want to take back, and take them back with you on the way back.
"Okay, then let's wait and see how much we can take when we go back. If it's not enough, we can come back tomorrow." Someone immediately agreed.
Before, they had no experience, so they just took things with them when they went, which resulted in a waste of energy. Now that they have experience, they can save a lot of energy.
Of course Shen Qingqian had no objection. He immediately recorded the location and the group continued to move forward.
Not long after walking, Sheng Ze suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow towards the bushes on the right.
"I'll pick it up!" Someone waited for Shengze to shoot the arrow, then ran over excitedly.
After a while, the man came back with two pheasants in his arms, looking very surprised. "I actually shot two!"
It was just a bamboo arrow, but it was able to kill two birds with one stone, which shows how strong Cheng San is.
Shen Qingqian also looked over in surprise. This Cheng San is too amazing.
Sheng Ze said calmly: "It was just luck."
"Mr. Cheng San is too modest. It's really not easy to have such skills." The girl following Shen Qingqian suddenly spoke.
She looked at Sheng Ze with eyes full of admiration and adoration.
Unfortunately, Shengze turned a blind eye to this and continued on his way.
Shen Qingqian looked at the girl sympathetically, then quickly followed Sheng Ze.
The girl wrinkled her clothes, bit her lip and followed him.
Humph, what's Shen Liu doing so arrogant? Isn't it because the Shen family is close to Cheng San that he can always stay by Cheng San's side?
It seems that no one can see that the third daughter of the Shen family has feelings for Cheng San. Is it true that only the people of the Shen family are allowed to like the brothers of the Cheng family, but she is not allowed to do so?
She concealed her indignation very well, and no one else could see it.
In fact, in addition to the young girls from the Shen family, there were also young girls from several other families in the team. However, these girls were of lower social status than the Shen family and had only heard of the girls from the Shen family.
Now everyone is in the same team. At first, the others looked up to Shen Qingqian and her sister, but recently they noticed that Shen Qingxiao was interested in Cheng San, and their little thoughts began to emerge.
Of course, Shen Qingqian and the others didn’t know all this.
With the rapid progress of the crowd, the ten-mile journey was quickly completed and they were now on their way back.
Shen Qingqian found a lot of Houttuynia cordata beside a small ditch, and happily asked people to help dig.
This is a good thing. It goes well with rice when served cold. It also has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and treating sores, promoting diuresis and removing dampness, clearing heat and stopping diarrhea, and strengthening the stomach and digestion. Modern pharmacological experiments have also shown that it has antibacterial and antiviral effects, can enhance the body's immunity, and has diuretic effects.
Shen Qingqian had found it before, but some people were not used to the taste of Houttuynia cordata, so it was not taken seriously.
But this is a different time now. They are almost starving and have no time to care about the taste. They just grab everything they can eat.
"Shut up!" Sheng Ze in front suddenly shouted.
