Chapter 23 Going up the mountain
After Jiang Yuwei cleaned the pot, she asked Ning Zhao to turn on the high heat. She added water and threw the ribs into the pot to blanch them. After the water boiled, she skimmed off the foam and took out the ribs. She washed the pot again, threw the onion, ginger and garlic into the pot to stir-fry the base flavor, then threw the ribs in and stir-fried them. Then she added seasoning, honey and water and simmered over low heat.
At this time, Jiang Yuwei felt that cooking on one stove was too slow, so she would build another stove in the yard when she had some free time in a few days.
Jiang Yuwei took out some rice, washed it, put it in a ceramic basin, added water, and started to cook porridge on the fire in the yard.
Soon the meal was ready. When Jiang Yuwei brought the food to the kang, Ning Wan's eyes sparkled. She had never eaten such a sumptuous meal since she was a child.
There was a dish of sweet and sour spare ribs, a braised dish, and some lard. Jiang Yuwei fried some vegetables to prevent it from being too greasy, and served it with rice porridge. For the villagers at that time, this meal was quite luxurious.
Ning Huaizhi looked at the table full of food and said happily:
"Yuwei, you've worked hard."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:
"It's really hard work, but I'm happy if you like it, so eat quickly."
Then he looked at Ning Zhao and Ning Wan and said with a smile:
"Eat more, because tomorrow we have to go up the mountain with mom to collect firewood. We are running out of firewood at home."
After a delicious dinner, everyone went to bed quietly. Jiang Yuwei stored the remaining pork in the space because she found that there was no need to worry about spoilage if the things were placed in the space.
After finishing her work, she went to take a bath in the spiritual spring water. Now Jiang Yuwei's skin has become whiter and whiter. Since she started to have full meals every day, she is no longer as pale and thin as she was at the beginning, and her hair is becoming blacker and smoother.
After everything was packed up, Jiang Yuwei went to bed peacefully.
next day
Jiang Yuwei opened her eyes at dawn, got up quickly to light the fire and put the leftover food from last night back into the pot. After the family had breakfast, Jiang Yuwei locked the door and took Ning Zhao and Ning Wan up the mountain.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei got up the mountain, she saw mushrooms all over the ground, so she asked Ning Wan to be in charge of picking mushrooms. Ning Wan's backpack was small and she couldn't carry heavy things, so it was just right for picking mushrooms.
Jiang Yuwei and Ning Zhao went to collect firewood. Soon they had filled two backpacks. Fortunately, they were very close to home halfway up the mountain, so Jiang Yuwei asked Ning Zhao to carry the backpack and go downstairs to deliver the firewood first, while she collected more on the mountain. She would need a lot of firewood for the market in a few days.
While picking the leaves, Jiang Yuwei suddenly found a willow tree that had just sprouted. She happily picked many willow branches. The newly sprouted willow leaves were the most tender. She could get some of them and take them home to make some willow leaf buns. It would be more convenient for her to leave them at home for Ning Huaizhi to eat when she went out in the future.
Thinking of this, she kept moving her hands and soon picked a bunch of mushrooms. Jiang Yuwei tied them up with a straw rope. Seeing that Ning Wan had also picked a full basket of mushrooms, she asked Ning Zhao, who had returned with an empty basket, to take Ning Wan down the mountain first.
Jiang Yuwei first put all the firewood in an empty backpack, and then dug some bamboo shoots on the hillside, which could be used to stir-fry pork when she got home, and the extra ones could be dried and made into pickles.
Jiang Yuwei had just finished digging bamboo shoots when she saw Ning Zhao coming to pick her up again, carrying an empty backpack. Seeing him sweating profusely, she felt so distressed that she scolded him:
"Zhao'er, didn't I tell you to go down the mountain? Why did you come back? You must be so tired running back and forth like this."
Ning Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said with a smile:
"Mom, I'm not tired. I'm just worried that there won't be enough firewood. Let's load another basket and go down the mountain."
Jiang Yuwei nodded helplessly, and the two of them quickly filled their backpacks. The bamboo shoots were placed in two backpacks, and Jiang Yuwei held the willow leaves. The two of them went down the mountain one after the other.
When he reached the edge of the pond, Ning Zhao suddenly stopped, his face changed drastically, and he screamed:
"Mom, mom, it hurts, it hurts so much."
Jiang Yuwei quickly dropped the willow leaf in her hand and rushed over. Upon closer inspection, she saw a green snake crawling in the grass. Jiang Yuwei quickly drove the snake away with a branch and checked the injury on Ning Zhao's foot.
Ning Zhao had two holes on his ankle bitten by a snake and was bleeding. Jiang Yuwei put down the backpack and let Ning Zhao sit on it. She squatted down and sucked out the poisonous blood with her mouth.
After cleaning for a while, Ning Zhao's face became paler and paler. Jiang Yuwei remembered that she had filled a pot with spiritual spring water when she went out in the morning, intending to save it for drinking when she went up the mountain. Before she had finished drinking it, she hurriedly took out the pot and poured it on Ning Zhao's wound. After cleaning it, Ning Zhao's wound no longer bled.
Jiang Yuwei thought again that there must be an antidote for all poisons within a hundred steps, so she looked around and saw a patch of small white flowers growing by the pond. Jiang Yuwei walked over and took a closer look and found that it was Lobelia!
Jiang Yuwei dug a lot of mud and crushed it with stones to apply directly to Ning Zhao's wound. Ning Zhao's complexion had eased a lot. The pond was very close to home, so Jiang Yuwei picked up Ning Zhao and sent him home to settle him down before returning to get firewood and willow leaves.
Jiang Yuwei thought that today was really thrilling. If she was not at home in the future and a snake entered the house, what would she do? It seemed that she would have to buy some snake-proof things next time she went to the market. If Ning Huaizhi was at home, she would also have to make some self-defense things for him and put them next to the kang.
Because of her experience with the end of the world, Jiang Yuwei is very vigilant and has high requirements for the safety of her residence.
After Jiang Yuwei returned home, she saw that Ning Zhao's face had turned rosy and the swelling on his foot had subsided a lot. She knew that green snakes were generally not very poisonous, and with her first aid, Ning Zhao would be safe.
Seeing that Ning Zhao was not seriously injured, Jiang Yuwei went out to take out the mushrooms picked by Ning Wan and dried them in the yard. She then took down the willow leaves, washed them and soaked them in water. The willow leaves would have to be soaked for several days to remove the bitterness, so one had to wait patiently for the delicious taste to come.
Jiang Yuwei moved all the firewood she had picked up today to the gate of the yard and stacked them up bit by bit. She was thinking about making something for Ning Huaizhi to defend himself. When she turned around, she saw a thick tree branch. Jiang Yuwei had an idea and made a simple slingshot first, which would not get in the way on the kang. Then she put a stick beside the kang, and that was about it.
Jiang Yuwei directly sawed the branch into a suitable shape, and carefully polished the burrs on it. She gritted her teeth and pulled a strand of hair from her head to tie it on the branch. For now, she could only make do with it. However, the slingshot made of hair had a short range and was not powerful enough. If she could get a live deer in the future, she could use the deer spine tendons to replace the hair.
After finishing, Jiang Yuwei mixed some yellow mud and made mud eggs of the same size. After drying, they could be used to make things.
After finishing her work, Jiang Yuwei brought the slingshot and the wooden stick she had found into the house and said to Ning Huaizhi:
"Keep it for self-defense at home in the future, so I can feel more at ease."
Ning Huaizhi looked at the slingshot in his hand, stroked it gently, and asked in surprise:
“Is this made of your hair?”
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:
"This is all I have right now, so I'll have to make do with it for now."
Ning Huaizhi carefully put the slingshot in his arms, smiled at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Thank you, I will put it to good use."
