Chapter 85 Encounter with the Xie family brothers and sisters
"Meimei, please contact the nanny, I need her to buy something for me." Wei Ruo said enthusiastically.
First of all, Wei Ruo needs to prepare all the required materials, which are wood chips, wood shavings, rice bran or wheat bran.
These are the main ingredients for making mushroom bags.
Among them, sawdust and wood shavings accounted for the majority, each accounting for 40%.
And these two can go to the carpenter in the city to buy them at a low price.
The remaining rice bran and wheat bran are not difficult to obtain, and the price is not expensive.
The amount of the first purchase should not be too large. After the practice is successful and feasible, consider expanding the scale.
The task of purchasing was given to the nanny, and Wei Ruo himself needed to inspect the caves in Xingshan County to see if there were any caves with suitable temperature and humidity that met her requirements.
Wei Ruo made a plan and started to act.
This trip, Wei Ruo still brought Nanny Zhang along.
Nanny Zhang followed Wei Ruo, not only increased her status in the south of the city, but also got a lot of good things from Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo didn't let Nanny Zhang participate in other things she did, but asked Nanny Zhang to help him cover up so that he could enter and exit the Captain's Mansion conveniently.
Nurse Zhang is also kind, and because of the benefits from Wei Ruo, she didn't say much.
She is a person who is afraid of trouble, as long as Wei Ruo doesn't cause anything, she will naturally not bother to go to Yun's to tell Wei Ruo's secret.
The mountains in the western mountains are more barren and steep.
If the mountains in the north of the city still have the potential to be cultivated into terraced fields, then don’t even think about the mountains here. They are barren, steep and full of rocks. They can only be used as Maoshan for chopping firewood. Only the nearby Chaifu and Orion can do it. visit.
The carriage couldn’t go up the mountain, so it had to stop on the nearby road. Seeing that Wei Ruo was planning to go up the mountain, Nanny Zhang worried: “Miss, I advise you not to go up this mountain. There is nothing on the mountain, it’s really not worth it.”
"It's okay, I'll go for a walk. This mountain is steep, and there may be a lot of valuable medicinal materials. This trip will not be in vain." Wei Ruo said.
The nearby villagers don't know much about medicinal herbs, so Wei Ruo feels that the probability of picking medicinal herbs on this dangerous mountain is still very high.
Of course, her main purpose is to see with her own eyes whether the number, size, temperature and humidity of the caves on the mountain are really a natural cultivation room for mushrooms.
When Nanny Zhang saw this, she stopped persuading her, but she herself was unwilling to go up this mountain: "Then Miss, this old slave will wait for you by the side of the road with this carriage. This mountain is too dangerous. Legs and feet can't bear it."
"Well, it's okay, just wait for me down there, and sleep in the carriage for a while when you're tired." Wei Ruo didn't plan to take Madam Zhang up the mountain, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do when she found the cave. explain to her.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei went up the mountain together, and they did this kind of thing a lot before.
For Xiumei, as long as her lady doesn't sneak up the mountain alone behind her back, she will be Amitabha.
She is most afraid that her young lady will run away to the deep mountains and old forests alone without telling her. She must worry to death.
The two were about to go up the mountain, when a group of people came from another trail in the distance, they looked familiar from a distance, but when they got closer, Wei Ruo recognized each other.
are brothers and sisters from the Xie family.
Xie Ying also recognized Wei Ruo, so she quickened her pace and trotted towards Wei Ruo.
"Ruo Ruo!"
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Wei Ruo said.
Xie Jue, who followed Xie Ying, also said the same thing: "Yingying, did you hear that, Miss Wei also told you to be careful, this path is full of weeds, dead branches and gravel, it's a big deal if you fall of!"
Immediately afterwards, Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, why did you come here?"
"I'm going to collect herbs in the nearby mountains." Wei Ruo replied, but I will not talk about the cultivation of mushrooms with Xie's brothers and sisters for the time being.
Hearing this, Xie Ying's eyes lit up: "Ruoruo the one you gave me last time, I'll give it to my mother, and my mother will have someone stew it the way you said and drink it and say it will work!"
"As long as it works." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
"So I'm going to collect herbs this time too! When I get them, I'll tell you how to use them!" With the previous successful experience, Xie Ying is very motivated this time.
Xie Jue was listening in a daze, and asked: "Sister, what medicine did you bring back for mother last time? Is mother sick? Why do you need to take medicine?"
"This is about our girl's family, I won't tell you!" Xie Ying dragged Wei Ruo aside, deliberately not letting Xie Jue listen to their conversation.
Xie Jue had a headache for a while: "Sister, at least I have a share of my mother, can I care about my mother's physical condition?"
"No, no!" Xie Ying refused.
Xie Jue couldn't convince Xie Ying, so he turned to Wei Ruo: "Sister Wei, tell me, what's wrong with my mother?"
"Master Lingtang is fine, please rest assured Mr. Xie." Wei Ruo replied.
Xie Yingchong said proudly, "Brother, just give up, Ruoruo and I are on the same boat."
Xie Jue sighed helplessly: "Alright then."
Xie Ying dragged Wei Ruo up the mountain while chatting with Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying: "By the way, why are you here?"
"You forgot, my family has a separate courtyard near here. My brother and I walked around this courtyard, and then walked around the neighborhood by the way."
Xie Ying is an active person, always staying at home, she feels bored and flustered.
Now that Xie Jue was here, she took a chance and asked Xie Jue to take her out.
After walking for a while, Wei Ruo found some horse chestnuts.
Wei Ruo picked them like a baby.
"Ruoruo, what is this?" Xie Ying asked curiously.
"This is called Aescin, also known as Chonglou. It is a good thing to detoxify snakes. You can see that it is easy to identify. Generally speaking, there are seven leaves in a circle, and there are six. This thing is quite hard to find. Yes, I didn't expect to be so lucky today, and I'll see you when I go up the mountain." Wei Ruo explained.
Xie Ying wrote it down carefully, and Xie Jue, who was at the side, also listened with gusto.
Following Xie Ying to search around, they also found the same one, and quickly called Wei Ruo to come and identify it.
"Yes, this is Echinacea."
Getting Wei Ruo's affirmative answer, Xie Ying dug carefully.
After digging out a complete plant, he proudly showed off to Xie Jue: "Look, bro, I dug well."
"Well, my sister dug the most beautiful one." Xie Jue praised without principle.
Sister's must be the best, there is no doubt about it.
Even if you simply dig a herb, it must look better than others.
Xie Ying finished digging Aescin, then ran to see Wei Ruo picking grass on the ground.
"Ruoruo, isn't this a withered weed? Why are you picking it?" Xie Ying asked.
