Chapter 466: Buying a Mountain (The author says there is a nursery rhyme in the chapter)
Shen Youyou was helpless: "Why would I lie to you? There must be one. If there isn't one, how dare I talk nonsense? If Grandpa Guo knew that I was talking nonsense with medical knowledge, he would definitely get rid of the family."
"Don't try to fool me. Old Man Guo's eyes sparkle when he sees you. I think you are more precious to me than his own granddaughter."
"So you have to trust me even more. Grandpa Guo likes me because I have talent."
Tang Guangshen said I can't argue with you, but do the others also have medicinal value?
Shen Youyou nodded: "Pig lungs can nourish the lungs, moisten dryness, relieve coughs, and replenish deficiency.
Pig heart nourishes the heart, soothes the nerves, and increases physical strength.
Pig ears can replenish deficiency, strengthen the spleen and stomach..."
Wait. After she finished talking, Tang Guangshen didn't remember many of the words, but he knew that the little girl in front of him was not talking nonsense.
"Then how do we let others know about these benefits? Do we have to tell everyone we meet?"
Shen Youyou took out a small notebook and a bamboo charcoal pen from her arms, and started writing quickly. She wrote a nursery rhyme about the pharmacological value of various organs of the pig and gave it to Tang Guangshen to read.
Seeing her amazing operation, the old man was really impressed and started writing nursery rhymes whenever he had a disagreement.
The key is that this nursery rhyme is written quite fluently. Now his mind is full of the echo of "pig pig pig".
The main thing is that he is not from modern times, otherwise he would definitely know that this is simply a devilish sound.
And Shen Youyou herself seemed to be fine:
"We'll put this nursery rhyme on the packaging of all kinds of pork products, and then find some people to spread it in nearby counties. By then, we may not be able to sell the offal of the dozens of pigs we produce every day."
After finishing her work here, Shen Youyou ran to Mr. Meng's place. Now, in addition to vermicelli and starch, they also make the self-heating hot pot.
However, in addition to dried radish, dried cabbage, and vegetarian meatballs, the self-heating hot pot also requires a seasoning packet.
She came here to ask Grandpa Meng to ask someone to buy all the pig bones from the meat workshop. Just give some money as a token of appreciation. The bones can be used to make seasoning broth.
Otherwise, even Mrs. Hua envied Shen Youyou.
She is in charge of several workshops, including the three food workshops and her brothers' plastic workshops, which make tents, water cups, and large pieces of plastic cloth.
But she has the ability to arrange all these things.
In just three days, she followed several workshops around for three days, no more.
After arranging the heads of the workshops, she turned to other things. She had earned more than 1,000 taels of silver from the hairpin group, 600 taels of silver from the dried persimmons, and about 2,000 taels of silver in total.
She, Shen Youyou, wanted to buy a mountain and even found twenty or so young men from the village to dig a greenhouse for her.
They dug just south of their house and divided out an area that was about fifty steps long and nine steps wide.
The greenhouse is built to grow seedlings inside. The Eucommia tree grows too slowly, so she has no plans to plant it for the time being, but she is thinking of buying a hilltop to plant Sichuan pepper.
She had asked for a lot of seeds from Tang Xin's family's pepper tree before. You know, in this era, pepper trees are almost as valuable as money trees.
Moreover, the Chinese prickly ash tree can generally live for forty years, and at most eighty years.
After the pepper seedlings emerge, they will bear fruit in the third year and enter the fruit-bearing period.
Generally speaking, after four to six years, the branches will increase, the crown will expand rapidly, and the fruit volume will increase rapidly.
After seven to eight years, the tree reaches its peak fruit-bearing period, and each tree can produce about three kilograms of dried pepper peels each year.
At this season, we grow seedlings in the greenhouse and can plant them next spring.
In addition to the Chinese prickly ash trees, she also plans to grow seedlings from the seeds of the Crown of Sinensis that she collected.
I hadn't originally planned to do so, mainly because the fruit-bearing rate of those Xanthoceras sorbifolia trees was too high.
However, she planned to plant the saplings of the civil trees on the slopes they had created, so as to better prevent soil erosion and prevent the house from being washed away by a real flood.
In addition, the tree has good meanings and beautiful flowers. Both its flowers and leaves can be processed into tea.
Furfural and saponin can be extracted from the fruit shell, and oil can be pressed from the seeds.
Leaves, branches, trunks and roots are all good medicinal materials.
It can be said that the Xanthoceras sorbifolia tree is a treasure from head to toe, so delicate that every pore can create value.
Shen Youyou really couldn't think of any reason not to plant it.
Moreover, the civil fruit trees bear fruit very early. Generally, the seedlings can be planted in the first year, flowers can be seen in the third year, and the fruiting rate can reach more than 95% in the fifth year.
This tree has a very long lifespan. Once planted, the harvest period can last for more than a hundred years.
On the other side, at the foot of Jingmen Pass, Duke Fu, who had heard the news that his son would arrive today, had been waiting at the city gate early.
When it got dark, they saw Fu Huaian, who was escorting military supplies and firearms.
Fu Huai'an dismounted, stepped forward, knelt, and said in one breath: "Greetings, General."
Fu Changzhou nodded in satisfaction when he saw his tall son, but he said dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of calling him a general? He hasn't even joined the army yet."
According to the rules of the Fu family army, there is no relationship between father and son in the barracks. This is at the gate of Jingmen Pass, and Duke Fu only brought a few personal guards to greet him. He is just a father welcoming his son.
Fu Huaian was pulled up by Fu Changzhou, and pursed his lips: "Father."
"Hey, my dear son, how are your grandparents, mother and sister?"
"Don't worry, father. Apart from missing you, everything else is fine."
The father and son, who had not seen each other for a long time, entered Jingmen Pass, the tall city gate, one after another.
Jingmen Pass is one of the four major passes in the Great Wall and is the most important one.
This place has long been an important military town in Daqing, with huge granaries standing tall and military camps connected to each other.
Although the people in the city looked serious, they got along harmoniously with the soldiers.
At this time, there were 100,000 troops gathered in the city, plus the refugees who entered the city in the past ten days, and the civilians and military households who were assigned there, a total of 150,000.
Coupled with the indigenous people, it looks particularly crowded.
When patrolling soldiers passing by saw the father and son, they would step aside and give way.
On the contrary, ordinary people would greet him enthusiastically: "General, are you going to pick up your son?"
Of course, the general people were calling at this time must be Fu Changzhou.
Duke Fu also grinned, without any airs: "Yes, did the old man go out of the city to chop wood again?"
"Aren't you thinking of cutting more firewood to get through the winter? I think it's going to be another cold winter."
“…”
And Fu Huai'an just watched quietly with a smile throughout the whole process.
This is how his father is in his memory. He always says that he is a rough man but has a delicate heart.
However, entering the city was not the end of the matter. Fu Huaian had to first have the military rations and firearms being transported counted and stored.
By the time we finished the work, the streets had been under curfew for a long time.
Jingmenguan also plays an important role in transportation and trade. It is a major transportation route connecting the frontier fortress with the interior, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Therefore, border trade markets such as "tribute market" and "tea-horse trade" were gradually formed.
Although the situation was tense at the time and there were no pedestrians on the streets, the usual hustle and bustle could be seen from the shops lining both sides of the street.
However, the war is about to begin, and there are only some necessary special shops, such as pharmacies.
The others have ceased operations.
