Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoyue took out a large bag of meat and a large bag of strange-looking herbs and gave them to Miao. After whispering in her ear for a while, she hurried out to work.

After Lin Xiaoyue left, Miao opened the big bag of meat her daughter gave her. There were chicken legs, duck gizzards, chicken feet, duck feet, pig's trotters, pig's tail bones, internal organs, etc. in the bag, which made her a little confused.

When were these meat-eating girls brought back?

Miao moved closer with doubt and could actually feel a slight coolness coming from the bag. She pressed it with her hand and found the meat was a little cold and damp, but without any fishy smell. It really gave off a strange scent.

But she didn't think too much about it, and just thought that the kind-hearted "god" was giving his daughter special treatment again.

Thinking about what her daughter had whispered in her ear just now, Miao unconsciously clenched the big bag in her hand. There were several small bags in it, and each small bag contained star anise, red dates, ginger and other messy herbs that she couldn't distinguish or understand.

Miao bit her lip, rolled up her sleeves and began to tinker with the secret recipe her daughter had told her. She felt a little excited in her heart, never expecting that one day she would be able to get some of the "god's" attention.

Oh, it’s so exciting just thinking about it.

……

Leaving the Miao family aside, Lin Xiaoyue took a group of people around the village and continued to open blind boxes on the collapsed ruins.

With yesterday's experience, everyone cooperated more tacitly today and moved more quickly and smoothly.

Old Man Lin was unable to participate yesterday, but today he finally got the chance to come out and watch. Although he could only stay aside and do nothing, he was like a supervisor supervising everyone's work.

Fortunately, everyone can understand that it is very frustrating for Old Man Lin to be unable to move and to stay in one place every day. If his leg can get better soon, I am afraid that with Old Man Lin's honest character, he will definitely work no slower than anyone else.

As time went by, the sun rose higher and higher, and the scorching sun sprinkled on them, and sweat kept rolling down their foreheads. Everyone was sweating, but they were still busy and no one thought of cutting corners. After all, the materials turned out would be evenly distributed to everyone, which was equivalent to working for themselves. No one would care about whether you did less and I did more.

Besides, if you really want to argue, you might as well look at Lin Xiaoyue. She alone can do the work of all of them combined, but the little girl didn't say a word, she just worked hard, how could others have the nerve to complain about being tired?

Of course, everyone worked hard to dig through the ruins, and after a few hours, the harvest was considerable.

They found some food, rice and flour. Although not as much as yesterday, it was enough for everyone to eat for more than one day. If they saved some food, they could eat for at least three days. They didn't find any good pots and pans. Some of them had cracks or were smashed to pieces by heavy objects that fell on them. Lin Xiaoyue didn't let anyone pick them up. Now that they had everything they needed, there was no need to collect the junk. She thought it took up space.

In the cellar of one of the households, a lot of mountain products were found, such as dried vegetables, dried fruits, mushrooms, bamboo fungus, chestnuts, and cloud ear (wood ear), all of which were dried. I don't know if the owner of the household hoarded these with the intention of selling them in the town for money after accumulating a certain amount.

Even more, everyone found a few ounces of snow fungus (Tremella fuciformis) carefully packed in a wooden box in the cellar, which was really an unexpected surprise.

From the grinning faces of the crowd and the excited conversation, Lin Xiaoyue extracted the key points. Nowadays, Tremella fuciformis is extremely rare and is considered as precious as Ganoderma lucidum. Good quality Tremella fuciformis may even be sent to the emperor's palace as a tribute. It is so precious that its value is extraordinary.

However, in a disaster year, no matter how valuable this thing is, it is not as practical as food. Everyone was only slightly excited when they first saw it, and then continued to dig in the ruins.

Lin Xiaoyue: …she felt like she was going to get rich suddenly. She stockpiled several bags of goods that were sold in bags more than one meter high at the wholesale store.

It was not until the afternoon (1:00 to 3:00 p.m.) that Miao came to call for dinner. Everyone straightened up, patted the dust off their bodies, and with a smile on their faces, they went back to wash their hands and eat.

As soon as you step into the yard, a faint fragrance fills the air, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Mom, mom, what's that smell? It smells so good, I want to eat it, I want to eat it." Xiao Wu quickly grabbed Miao's trouser leg and climbed up the pole like a monkey. Miao was so scared that she immediately grabbed her little butt and slapped her hard on the butt twice, for fear that the little monkey would fall and get hurt.

It's so heartbreaking.

"Mom, I want to eat too, I want to eat too." Xiao Si is indeed a twin of Xiao Wu. Although he was half a beat slower than Xiao Wu, he immediately grabbed Miao's other trouser leg after he reacted, joining in the fun and focusing on fairness and justice.

"Aunt, is this the medicinal food you cooked?" Chun Xing, who came in with Doctor Qiao, and the grandparents were quite sensitive to medicinal materials. With a slight movement of their nostrils, they immediately identified some of the herbs through the smell in the air.

Doctor Qiao was a little surprised. He hadn't expected Miao to have this skill. He had really underestimated her before. It turned out that there were many experts among the people.

Miao was embarrassed by the compliments. How could she know anything about medicinal food? She just took the material package given by Lin Xiaoyue, added the daily onions, ginger, garlic, water and soy sauce, and put the things into the pot to stew. How could she deserve the special look of Doctor Qiao and his grandson. At that moment, she smiled embarrassedly and explained, "It's not me. I'm just a country woman. How can I know anything about medicinal materials. They were all prepared for me by my third daughter in advance. I just put them all into the pot and cooked them."

Following Miao's words, Doctor Qiao and Chun Xing simultaneously turned their gazes to Lin Xiaoyue, their inquiring eyes seeming to stare a big hole in Lin Xiaoyue.

Feeling that two extremely eager eyes were searching her body, Lin Xiaoyue's body was shocked and she immediately retorted, "No, isn't that just a bunch of ingredients? I don't know what is medicine and what is not. It's just that I accidentally helped an old lady in the market before. To express her gratitude, she gave me a small medicine bag and said that according to the herbs in it, I can go to the medicine store to make it myself, and then add some daily seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic, etc., and you can stew extremely delicious food.

I saw that the old lady didn't seem to be lying to me, so I went to the medicine store and bought some for my mother to try. I didn't have the chance to use it before, but now it comes in handy. It smells so good, don't you want to eat it? If not, I'll eat it all."
