Chapter 36 Snow Pearl Fruit
That day, Jian Mo was preparing to collect the fish cages early in the morning when Ban Ming jumped out from the path: "Brother Jian Mo!"
Jian Mo heard his enthusiastic call and stopped to wait for him: "Why did you get up so early today?"
Ban Ming lied with his eyes wide open: "I get up so early every day."
Jian Mo looked at him and said nothing.
Jian Mo was familiar with Qing Kuang and knew that none of their family had the habit of getting up early, especially Ban Ming. This young beastman had just gone through a period of extreme sleep deprivation. If he didn't need to go out hunting, he would always sleep until the sun heated the ground before getting up.
This guy got up so early today, it was as strange as Wu Jiong sleeping in.
Seeing Jian Mo's expression, Ban Ming knew that he had failed to fool him, and he didn't care. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jian Mo, I came here to ask you for a favor."
Jian Mo was very alert: "What is it? You tell me first, and I'll consider whether to agree or not."
Ban Ming said with a little embarrassment: "You know I like Amon, right?"
Jian Mo nodded.
Ban Ming asked, "What do you think of Amon?"
Jian Mo thought that he wanted to be a partner with Amon, and wanted to find out what his family thought, so he asked him to be a lobbyist first, so he said, "He's pretty good, a beastman with excellent character and ability."
Ban Ming raised his chin: "Right, he's also very good-looking."
Jian Mo looked at him proudly and said, "Yes, do you want me to tell your father?"
"No, no, no." Ban Ming reacted immediately and waved his hand and said, "I didn't come here to talk about me and Amon this time. I wanted to ask if Amon could bring his father to see you for your legs."
Jian Mo heard that he had made up a lot of things just to talk about this matter, and he was immediately amused and said, "Of course, anyone who is not feeling well can come to see me, Wu Jiong and the others are not stopping them."
Jian Mo did have a good impression of Amon.
The two tuk-tuk beasts in his family were given by this young and handsome Asian beastman, and he was also very anxious at the time.
So even if Amon was from the Xiongying tribe, if he needed help, he would do his best to help.
Ban Ming was relieved after hearing what Jian Mo said: "I told him the same thing. Brother Jian Mo, you are such a good person. Even if his father is from another tribe, you would not refuse. He just thinks a lot and feels that he should ask you first."
People who are particularly considerate will indeed have more considerations. Jian Mo nodded in understanding: "Let him bring his father here. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. His father's leg It's time to check again."
Ban Ming: "Okay, I'll go to their tribe and tell him later. Brother Jian Mo, you're so nice."
Jian Mo glanced at him: "Just help you be a partner?"
Ban Ming was a little shy: "Not a partner yet, I'm trying to be his quasi-partner."
This guy is also very good-looking, looking very sunny, but sometimes silly, not like a cat, but like a giant Samoyed.
Jian Mo waved: "Okay, you hurry up."
Ban Ming didn't leave: "Aren't you going to collect the fish cages? I'll help you."
Ban Ming said that the weather was cold and the fish were difficult to catch, and insisted on helping Jian Mo pull up the fish cages, and then cleaned the dirt before saying goodbye to Jian Mo and going back.
The Ban Ming family was so considerate this time. When Jian Mo saw Amon bringing his father, he loved them and was very gentle.
Generally speaking, Jian Mo was more serious when facing patients and their families - when he was serious, patients were more likely to listen to him.
There were quite a lot of patients who were afraid of him.
Amon brought his father to greet Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo."
"Are you here?" Jian Mo smiled and asked them, "You've been tired all the way. It must be quite cold on the road? Are your legs uncomfortable because of the weather?"
Amon's father was a little reserved, but he still answered: "A little bit, it will hurt when it's about to snow, and it will also hurt when it's too cold."
Jian Mo: "Let me see."
Jian Mo carefully examined the legs of Amon's father Yu Gan.
Yu Chu's leg healed well, but it was not completely healed. Now you can still see red marks, there must be some inflammation inside.
After Jian Mo looked at his human form, he asked him to change back to beast form.
The beast form of the Xiongying clan is a bit like a unicorn, but the horn is very sharp, and it looks not easy to mess with.
It was not so obvious when Yu Chu was in human form, but in beast form, you can see that the leg bone is a bit red, and the blood vessels should be a bit damaged.
Jian Mo asked seriously: "Did you not rest well after going back?"
Yu Chu said sullenly: "It's okay, I didn't go to the collective activities of the tribe most of the time."
Jian Mo: "Then sometimes you went, right?"
Yu Chu didn't dare to speak, and Amon frowned and looked at his father.
Jian Mo felt that the situation was difficult, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't have any special treatment for this level of injury. I will apply hot salt to it first. When you go back, pay attention to keeping the injured area warm and rest more."
Amon quickly agreed.
Jian Mo nodded to this particularly reliable beastman, took a broken pottery pot, placed it on the fire pit, poured half a pot of rock salt into it, and slowly stir-fried it.
When the rock salt was fried and hot, Jian Mo poured the rock salt into the bag, tied the bag, and then put the whole bag on the injured leg of Yu Gu beast.
When putting it in, Jian Mo carefully felt the temperature of the salt bag. Although he felt that it was fine, he still carefully reminded: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don't get burned."
Yu Chuan quickly agreed.
It takes some time to use the salt bag for hot compress, so the father and son sat in the hall and waited slowly.
Jian Mo invited them to drink pepper drink. There were no extravagant honey cubes in it, but some preserved fruits were added. It tasted sweet and spicy, and it was very effective in driving away the cold.
There were no snacks here, and anything with a little flavor was quite popular.
Yu Chuan and Amon drank the pepper drink slowly and relaxed.
Amon sat in the hall with nothing to do. He twisted his head and looked around, and soon saw the bark painting that Jian Mo hung on the wall.
His painting was so vivid that Amon could recognize most of the objects in the painting at a glance.
Amon sat up straight and asked, "Doctor Jianmo, what is this?"
Jian Mo turned his head and looked over there with his gaze: "This is the range of my compensation. Some people come to see a doctor, but they don't have extra cloth, animal skins, etc. at home. They have to exchange them with others and then send them to me, which is very troublesome. I have sorted out some items I need. You don't have to give them cloth, animal skins, etc. I welcome these as well."
Jian Mo said, and read the above items to Amon and Yu Jun.
After listening to what was said, Amon really noticed the things he had and said that he would bring some pottery shards to Jian Mo. Then he asked curiously, "Doctor Jian Mo, do you like fruit wine?"
Jian Mo smiled, "You should call me Brother Jian Mo. Fruit wine is very useful and we use a lot of it at home."
Amon changed his words quickly and then said with some regret, "Now is the season for making fruit wine, but my father's leg is injured, so we didn't go out to pick snow fruit this year." This was the first time Jian Mo had heard of this fruit: "Snow fruit?" Amon asked, "Is it true that we should not go out to pick snow fruit
this year?"
Amon: "Yes, it's a kind of fruit that only bears when it snows. It grows more in our area. It's very sweet and is very good for making wine, but it's not easy to find."
Jian Mo: "How is it very good?"
Amon thought for a while: "There is a layer of white frost on the outside of the snow bead fruit. If you want to make wine, you don't need to put anything else in it. Just crush it and put it in the jar. It will start to produce wine in three to five days."
Jian Mo couldn't help but say: "So fast?!"
His family's flour fruit wine has been brewed for so long, and now it still smells like flour fruit when it is opened, and the wine taste is relatively light.
He almost doubted whether he had to brew it for a quarter, and when spring comes, the flour fruit wine will be brewed.
Amon: "Really? If you don't believe me, ask my father."
Yu Jian nodded beside him: "Snow Pearl Fruit can brew wine quickly and well, but there is not much of it. Sometimes we will change back into beast form to look for grass under the snow, and it takes a long time to find the Snow Pearl Fruit."
Jian Mo couldn't help but ask: "Why? Doesn't this fruit grow in the same place and bear fruit every year?"
Amon shook his head and said seriously: "No, it bears fruit some years and not others. Snow Pearl Fruit is like mushrooms. You have to rely on luck to find it. And it bears fruit for a very short time. It will wither in one or two days and is buried under the snow. People can't see it unless they dig up the snow."
This is really a rare fruit. No wonder he didn't find it in his memory.
Amon looked at Jian Mo's expression and said, "I'll go back and look for it. If I find it, I'll bring it to you."
Jian Mo waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No need. The cloth made of tuk-tuk fur you brought is already very good. I don't need so much cloth to treat a patient. I have to return some things to you. Do you want nuts, cloth or spices?"
There is no concept of change here. It is up to Jian Mo to decide how much to take.
He will charge different fees according to the complexity of the disease, the preciousness of the herbs and medical equipment used, etc.
Medical procedures such as examinations and leg dressings, which are not troublesome at all, do not require a piece of precious tuk-tuk fur cloth as a reward. Jian Mo has to return some things to them.
Amon didn't want to accept the things Jian Mo brought back, but Jian Mo insisted, saying that it was his own principle, and explained the concept of principle.
In the end, Amon accepted a large bag of spices prepared by Jian Mo.
After Amon and his son applied the spices, rock salt and medical advice to their legs, they left with Jian Mo's spices, rock salt and medical advice.
Jian Mo was a little absent-minded.
In the evening, Wu Jiong found that something was wrong with him as soon as he came back, and asked him what was wrong.
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "Do you know snow bead fruit?"
Wu Jiong paused: "Amon said?"
Jian Mo nodded: "He said that snow bead fruit tastes very sweet and is especially good for brewing wine. Does our tribe have snow bead fruit?"
Wu Jiong: "No, they have it there."
The Xiongying tribe is very far away from their tribe, separated by the large Mengshui tribe.
It is normal for the two sides to have different products. For example, Amon said that they don’t have honey finches and honey cubes.
Jian Mo was a little disappointed: "Then I will ask the people in their tribe next time to see if I can exchange them for some snow bead fruits, or some fruit wine."
Wu Jiong thought for a while: "I remember that the Zhengchi tribe also has this kind of snow bead fruit-"
Jian Mo immediately responded: "Then is there any in the unowned land below the Zhengchi tribe?" Jian Mo
was referring to the place where they went to pick noodles, the unowned land between the Zhengchi tribe and the Yigu tribe.
Wu Jiong: "That's exactly what I want to say. People in our tribe used to pick snow bead fruits there, but so many years have passed, I'm not sure if there are still any there? Do you want to try your luck?"
Jian Mo said without hesitation: "Go!"
They haven't been there for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to go there for a stroll.
Jian Mo really wanted to see what it was like there in winter.
Wu Jiong smiled and said, "Then let's go to bed early and let Jiujiu take us there tomorrow."
Jian Mo: "Just the two of us, no one else?"
Wu Jiong: "Who else do you want to take?"
"No, no, no, it's fine for the two of us, we can go wherever we want." Jian Mo stood up and said, "I'll see if there's anything delicious at home and make some to bribe Jiujiu."
