Chapter 231 Picnic

Bai Yunxi put down the basket. She wanted to dig out all of these, and then send them to the pharmacy after simple processing.

As she thought, the isatis root was big and thick. After removing the withered stems and leaves, only the isatis root was left. There was a whole basket, which looked like 20 to 30 kilograms. I don’t know how much can be processed.

“Mom, what did you dig?” Xiao Si looked at the roots in the basket and asked curiously.

“Isatis root, a Chinese medicinal material, can clear away heat and detoxify, cool blood and relieve sore throat. When the time comes, I will send it to the pharmacy with persimmon frost and sell it. It should be able to exchange for a few liters of grain.”

She just didn’t know the price, but she knew one thing, Chinese medicinal materials are more expensive than grain.

Xiao Si nodded, “Second sister-in-law said that yam slices can also be exchanged for money. We have dug two baskets.”

As he said, Xiao Si pointed to the yam in the basket. The wild yam was not good-looking, and some were deformed by stones, with strange shapes, but it was valuable.

"Yes, keep going. We should store food before the snow falls and have a good winter." Bai Yunxi looked at the sun above his head. After winter, the air temperature suddenly dropped. Even if the sun came out, he could not feel the heat.

"Don't worry, mother. We can definitely earn enough food for the winter. My second brother said that when he repairs the roof, he will go into the mountains with us to find food. There will be no problem because there are more people and more strength.

As he said that, Xiao Si looked in the direction of the deep mountains.

'He will find someone to go into the mountains with him. I heard that if you dig a few traps in the forest, you can hunt prey. Even if you hunt a rabbit or a pheasant, it will be good. You can also add some food to the family during the New Year.'

Bai Yunxi listened to Xiao Si's thoughts and looked at him in surprise. This kid has an adventurous spirit.

"You are right. There is more people and more strength. We can definitely solve our food problem. When the spring comes next year, the slopes of West Mountain and East Mountain can be used to plant crops. When the autumn harvest comes, we will no longer have to worry about food. ”

The children in the family were fed chicken soup by her one after another. Everyone was full of energy. Storing food for the winter was the first problem to be solved.

As Bai Yunxi said, if you find a piece of yam vine, you can be busy all day.

Seeing the children busy and full of energy, Bai Yunxi looked up at the sky, found an open place, cleared the weeds around, dug a small pit, covered the surrounding with wet soil, and built a simple stove.

Put the pancakes on the fire to bake, bury a few ready-made yams in the hot ash, and wait for the pancakes to bake and the yams to become sticky.

After thinking for a while, Bai Yunxi took out a few duck eggs and put them on the rack to bake. After a while, you can hear the sound of the duck egg skin bursting.

When the egg white comes out, it solidifies directly when it encounters heat, sprinkles salt, and continues to bake until the duck egg skin is browned, and the air is filled with the rich egg fragrance.

"The meal is ready, come and eat. "Bai Yunxi found a few leaves and spread them on the ground, put the food on top, and called the children over.

When they set out, Du gave them a pottery jar of water and simmered it next to the fire, so they could have some hot water to drink.

Hearing Bai Yunxi's call, several people packed up their things and ran over, "Wow, it smells so good."

Bai Yunxi dug out a few yams from the ash, patted them clean, and put them on the leaves. Seeing Li's shining eyes, he couldn't help laughing.
