Chapter 43 042. You don’t want me to force you to consummate the marriage, do you?
Epimedium.
Also known as three-branched nine-leaf grass, it has a panicle inflorescence, three-part compound leaves at the base and stem, with 3 leaflets, leathery, ovate to ovate-lanceolate.
The whole plant is for medicinal purposes.
Mainly used to treat impotence.
It is often used as a medicine to replenish essence and strengthen the body. It has the effect of strengthening the sexual nerves of cattle and horses, and can treat impotence and neurasthenia in cattle and horses, so it can be used as veterinary medicine.
It also works on humans.
Lei Li looked at Zhou Yi with a smile, his eyes ambiguously describing something, "I think my husband really needs it. What do you think?"
Zhou Yi: “…”
Thanks.
He doesn't need it.
“…”
Miao Fulang's face turned red when he heard this. He looked up and down, and couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhou Yi from the corner of his eye. Such a strong and tall man also needs animal grass?
He stole another glance at Lei Li.
He looked so playful and frivolous that he was about to take action, just like a bandit leader from some mountain, teasing a passing decent woman - a decent woman or man.
Miao Fulang thought that it must be really necessary.
A guy who can kill a wild boar must have a huge demand for that, and not everyone can satisfy it. For example, his husband Niu Dali is useless. He hasn't been able to get pregnant with his second child in four years.
It’s okay if I can’t get pregnant.
Miao Fulang thought that Xiaobao had suffered so much with him, and life would be even more difficult if he had another boy or girl.
but--
If it is Lei Li and Zhou Yi's baby, it should be raised well, right?
Will I get pregnant with two babies at once?
Miao Fulang subconsciously glanced at Lei Li's belly. When he raised his eyes, he met Lei Li's dark eyes, and his face suddenly felt hot and embarrassed.
Lian asked, "Do you still want this beast grass? There's more down in Sanli River."
Honeysuckle likes the sun.
Three-branched nine-leaf clover prefers shade and moisture, and it does grow more near the river.
In addition to treating impotence and replenishing essence and strengthening the spirit, it can also eliminate rheumatism and joint pain, and has the effects of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, diuresis, and relieving cough and expectorant.
Lei Li didn't pick it up to tease Zhou Yi. Doctor Cao's pharmacy was in great need of epimedium, and it could also be sold to people raising cattle, horses and sheep.
But Lei Li heard what Miao Fulang said, smiled at Zhou Yi, and said meaningfully, "Indeed, we need more. Beasts need to eat, and humans also need to eat."
“……?”
Zhou Yi looked at Lei Li suspiciously. He wouldn't really want to give him this kind of medicine, right?
He just doesn't want to.
It’s not really impossible.
If he really ate it... wouldn't he die from a nosebleed and excessive blood loss? Lei Li also seemed like someone who would force himself on someone, the kind who would tie someone up when desperate.
Miao Fulang led the way.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi fell behind. Zhou Yi hesitantly pulled Lei Li's sleeve and whispered, "Were you joking just now, or are you serious?"
"What's true or false?"
"Take horny goat weed."
“This…”
Lei Li looked at him with a dagger hidden in his smile. "If you keep disobeying me, I don't know what I will do. Last time I pretended to be drunk to trick you, next time..."
Suddenly he reached out and patted Zhou Yi on the butt.
Zhou Yi was startled by the photo. It was not known whether it was a conditioned reflex or he thought of something, but his ears turned red again. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lei Li leaned against his red ear and smiled frivolously, "Next time, it might be drunken sex... You don't really want me to force you to consummate the marriage, do you?"
“…”
Zhou Yi glanced at Miao Fulang first, and seeing that he didn't seem to hear, he whispered, "I think we should proceed step by step... just take it slow."
"Which kind of slow?"
Lei Li deliberately distorted his words, "You want to do this all night? Or are you deliberately pestering me and wanting to hear me beg for mercy? I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such dirty thoughts..."
"you……"
Zhou Yi quickly covered his mouth, frowning, feeling embarrassed and inexplicably angry. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have the habit of deliberately torturing others..."
"What's that fetish?"
Lei Li pulled his hand down and held it in her palm, raised an eyebrow and asked him, "Tell me more about it, maybe I'd be happy to play something you like with my husband?"
"I don't like either."
"I don't believe it."
Lei Li chuckled softly and said, "You must have someone you like. I can't bully you under the bed, and I have everything I want on the bed... Didn't you say I would respect your wishes?"
"I respect you now."
"No."
Zhou Yi looked at him reproachfully. He didn't need such respect.
"I understand."
Lei Li nodded to himself, "You like what I like, right? Then it will really be all up to me... Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."
"……save?"
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked him seriously, "Is there any danger to his life?"
"Maybe a little."
Lei Li nodded seriously and smiled again, "But it's okay. I'll boil some more herbs for you to nourish you and help you last a few more years."
"……Thanks."
Zhou Yi understood that this was chronic homicide.
Miao Fulang, who had been listening all the way in front and covered Xiaobao's ears to prevent him from hearing, felt embarrassed and blushed: "..."
This couple.
So frank.
Not avoiding people at all.
Sanli River is formed by the confluence of various mountain streams and mountain streams. It starts as a gurgling flow and gradually becomes a mighty torrent.
Moisture-loving plants grow in the water and by the river. In the shade under the forest, there grows a small patch of green epimedium with small white flowers.
"And watercress."
Miao Fulang pointed to a place by the water. The water celery leaves were large and triangular with rounded edges. The stems were bluish-white with small white and smooth flowers.
Miao Fulang picked a few crisp stalks and said, "This kind of water celery is edible. I often pick it. There is another kind of water celery that is very similar to it, but it is poisonous. Eating it will give you diarrhea."
Zhou Yi asked, "How do you distinguish them?"
"Simple."
Lei Li looked at the idiot and said, "If you pick some and eat it, and you get diarrhea, it's poisonous water celery. If you don't, it's not poisonous and can be eaten. Isn't that how you test mushrooms?"
"……you're right."
The words may be rough, but the truth is there.
Many things are discovered through trial and error by generations of people. For example, some mushrooms can be eaten many times, some can be eaten many times even after being cooked, and some can only be eaten once in a lifetime.
More like konjac.
I don’t know which genius came up with the idea to make such a poisonous thing into konjac cake and konjac tofu.
Speaking of konjac…
Zhou Yi also felt like eating.
Stop.
Putting the greed out of his mind, Zhou Yi obediently followed Lei Li to dig three-branch nine-leaf grass.
"Put away the leaves carefully, too."
Lei Li said, "Although it's called Epimedium, the root is used. The leaves are more commonly used as medicine. Some doctors even call the leaves Xianpiling, saying that someone once made an elixir for the emperor, and one of the ingredients was Xianpiling."
"I see."
Zhou Yi nodded.
After Miao Fulang had picked enough water celery, he came over to help them dig three-branch nine-leaf clover.
When Lei Li asked about mushrooms, he said, "I pick mushrooms to make dried goods. When I make enough, I take them to the dried goods store in the county town to sell."
"It doesn't matter if they're not fresh for a while. There's no shortage of people selling fresh mushrooms in the town market or the county town. I'm cheaper than others, so the dried goods sellers only buy from me."
Fresh ones are more expensive than dried ones.
But Sanlihe Village is far from the town and the county seat. No matter how fresh the mushrooms picked by Miao Fulang are, they cannot be as good as those picked by people in the surrounding areas.
The one who is closest to the water gets the moon first.
Sometimes if you slow down by one step, everything will be slow, and Mr. Miao can only sell it at a lower price.
“Dried mushrooms have their advantages as well.”
Zhou Yi said, "After being cooked by the sun and nurtured by time, they have a unique aroma and are also delicious when used to make soup."
“Also, you can sell several types of mushrooms together.”
"Set it up?"
This was the first time Miao Fulang heard this.
"right."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Some people don't know how to eat mushrooms and how to pair them together. It would be better if we could make soup packets and sell mushrooms and spices together."
"Put a soup packet in a chicken, add some salt, and simmer it over low heat to make a delicious pot of chicken soup. Even a kitchen novice who has never cooked before can make it."
Zhou Yi suddenly realized that both of them were looking at him. He touched his face in confusion and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
"Husband."
Lei Li looked at him with an expression of admiration and joy, and even said with a touch of tenderness, "I suddenly realize that you are truly the best husband in the world."
“……?”
Zhou Yi got goosebumps all over his body. He looked at Lei Li seriously for a few seconds and said, "No matter who you are, get off my husband right now."
Lei Li smiled wryly, "Don't force me to slap you when I'm happy."
"OK."
Zhou Yi felt relieved now.
"but……"
Miao Fulang hesitated and said, "I only know how to pick and dry mushrooms. I don't know how to make soup ingredients, and I don't understand the medicinal properties."
"My husband can cook and make soup, and I understand medicinal properties. You pick mushrooms and make dried goods, and the three of us can make soup ingredients together, right?"
Lei Li said nonchalantly, "Anyway, these things are all picked from the mountains. Let's make some and try. If it doesn't work out, we'll eat it ourselves. If it does, we'll make a profit."
"I've been to the county town so many times, but I've never seen the soup packets Zhou Yi mentioned. I'll ask Mr. Zhu and his brother-in-law. They're well-informed and might be able to tell if it can be sold."
"become."
Miao Fulang also felt more confident. After all, he was doing his job, it just took a little more time.
"We can also sell soup packets with wild yam. If there are chicken farms willing to cooperate, we can sell them together with their live chickens. Customers can buy the ingredients and the packet and just stew them in a pot."
Zhou Yi continued, "And the ducks in our fields, we can sell them together when the time comes. By the way, Lei Li, didn't you say you wanted to catch wild boars and raise them?"
"We can bundle wild boar meat and soup packets and sell them to game shop owners. Maybe they can become our long-term customers."
"If it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later. It's free anyway."
The most important thing is that when making this thing, you must do experiments to see which mushrooms and which medicinal herbs can produce the best taste.
With just one experiment, won’t Zhou Yi have something to eat?
There would be no need for Lei Li to control you so much just for a bite of food, like last time, when you were forced by Lei Li to sign forty kissing contracts with compound interest.
Forty!
The interest rate is still 2 to the power of (n-1), and Zhou Yi has not paid it off yet. Whenever Lei Li is unhappy, he uses this matter to pressure him to kiss her.
kiss.
It's Lei Li's happiness and Zhou Yi's slow death.
