After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it
Chapter 288: In the Woods
A green snake, as thick as a wrist, had half of its body wrapped around a thick branch, its head hanging in the air, spitting out its tongue towards Fang Nanzhi who was picking herbs below.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it." The green snake, ready to strike, did not notice that another sharp gaze had already been fixed on it.
Shi Junyan clenched the dagger in his hand and pulled it out from behind without making a sound.
He raised his eyes to stare at the green snake, then lowered his eyes to look at Fang Nanzhi who was busy and unaware of anything.
Just as the green snake moved, he took two steps, kicked the tree trunk with one foot, and jumped high.
The green snake hanging on the branch had no time to react before its seven inches were pinched!
Shi Junyan threw the green snake hard against the tree. While the snake was still almost in the air, he pierced the dagger through the snake's body, stuck it into the tree, and then pulled it out!
Fang Nanzhi was startled when she suddenly heard some movement behind her. When she turned around, she saw him taking off into the air.
In a flash, everything was over, and she then discovered that there was a green snake stuck in Shi Junyan's dagger.
Mr. Zhou on the side hurried over to ask if the two were okay.
"Nothing." Shi Junyan completely cut off the still-flailing snake's body and threw it into the basket: "It must have just woken up from hibernation and came out to look for food."
Fang Nanzhi was a little scared when she saw such a thick snake: "Is it going to bite me? Thank you for saving me!"
The little girl came over excitedly and said, "By the way, how did you jump so high just now? Is it the Qinggong technique written in the book? Can you teach me? I want to learn it too!"
It was the first time she saw someone climb a tree without having to climb, but could just jump up. This was amazing! If she could learn this, she would be able to see what kind of grass was around her just by climbing up the tree.
Shi Junyan ignored her.
But Mr. Zhou shook his head. He was indeed a child, very playful.
"Okay, girl, I'm glad nothing happened. There's nothing else to pick around here. Let's keep going."
Fang Nanzhi felt very sorry. It was the first time she saw someone with skills as good as those described in the book. She had asked her father about this before, and her father said that even if there were such people in the world, they were not the kind of people that ordinary people like them would be able to meet.
I didn’t expect that the young master could do it. I wonder if I will have the chance to see it again in the future.
Mr. Zhou is old, and he felt a little tired when he reached halfway up the mountain.
At this time, half of the herbs in the backpack were collected. The three of them walked to a relatively flat place and swept the fallen leaves on the ground aside to prevent them from burning when they made the fire.
After lighting a fire, Fang Nanzhi took out the rice cakes made by her mother, as well as the brown sugar.
When it comes to eating delicious food, she is always enthusiastic: "Sir, I'll bake it. You guys can try this milk tea first. It's our new invention!"
Their family now drinks milk every day, and over time they naturally came up with various ways to drink it, and adding tea to milk is one of them.
The system said it was called milk tea, and that some sugar was added to it, but not much.
Old Zhou took a sip. The milk from the little girl's house had never had any fishy smell. Now with the addition of tea and sugar, it was fragrant and sweet, and indeed had a unique flavor.
Fang Nanzhi was baking glutinous rice cakes with Shi Junyan seriously, turning them over constantly to avoid burning one side.
After a while, the glutinous rice cake was baked until it turned golden brown, and when it gradually gave off a burnt aroma, it was done.
"Sir, these are ready, try them!"
The rice cakes sprinkled with sugar and the frankincense tea made them feel particularly warm in the mountains in early spring.
Mr. Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "Your family members are really very spiritual, whether it's in cooking or doing business."
"Come to think of it, I heard your father mention the other day that your family was planning to plant some yams on their land?"
Fang Nanzhi nodded. "Yes, we originally planned to plant it on the reclaimed wasteland, but yam seems to need good farmland, so my father switched to a more fertile piece of land. We plan to use the previous wasteland to grow beans. Fried beans are delicious!"
Mr. Zhou couldn't help but knocked his apprentice on the head: "Girl, you only know how to eat."
"Once the yam is grown, it can be sold for money. It can be sold to pharmacies as a medicinal ingredient. Rich families also like to use yam in cooking. It's good for the body, so no matter where you go, you should be able to get a good price for it."
Fang Nanzhi's eyes lit up, and he remembered that yam was among the medicinal herbs he had memorized before.
It’s just that the people in their village don’t know that yam is edible, but the pharmacies and scholars know it.
"Thank you, teacher. I'll remember it. I'll think of telling my dad when I get home."
Mr. Zhou looked pleased and reminded her, "When you are free, you must go to the fields to help. Spring planting is very important to farmers. Farmers ultimately rely on the land."
"Your family isn't big, and your parents have a business to run. You can't be lazy just because you're studying medicine. For us medical students, having a good physique is also very important. Think of it as training yourself."
Fang Nanzhi couldn't help but act coquettishly: "Of course I am willing to help the family, but sir, I have too much homework now. I can squeeze in some time and finish my homework before helping my parents. Isn't that a bit tight?"
Mr. Zhou was at a loss for words: "In the end, you just want me to reduce your schoolwork. Okay, seeing that you've been doing well here, I agree!"
Before the little girl could cheer, he reminded her, "But you have to review what you've already learned. If you have less homework, there will be more quizzes in class. If I find out that you can't remember what you once knew..."
Fang Nanzhi immediately responded: "Then the teacher will give me more homework!"
This time Zhou Lao is satisfied.
Shi Junyan, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the master and disciple, ate roasted rice cakes and shook his head.
Mr. Zhou really indulges her.
They were picking herbs on the mountain and coming down. Fang Nanzhi accompanied her husband home first. When they arrived home, they found that everyone was gone.
After thinking about it, she heated up the milk tea she had prepared earlier and went to the field to deliver drinks to her family.
Fang Tong and his companions were working in a field near a stream. He was leading a cow, which was pulling a plow. Goudan was walking beside them to help hold the plow. Both the cow and the other two were walking slowly, but at least it was light and effortless.
Fang Yin on the side was much more tired. He pulled the plow by himself, and the iron pillar helped him to hold it. In comparison, the two of them were much slower than the slow-moving old ox.
Fang Yin was so tired that sweat covered his forehead. He had finally plowed out three rows and immediately dropped the plow to find Fang Tong.
"Brother! It's time for us to switch! It's my turn to lead the cow!"
Fang Tong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: They didn't agree on this in advance, his second brother has really become smarter. If it were in the past, he could work alone from morning to night.
Now we all know how to be lazy!
