Chapter 115: Mountain walkers of all ages cursed
Zhang Hao thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I have time tomorrow."
"That would be best. I will ask the driver to pick you up in the village tomorrow. By the way, Brother Zhang, the road construction is not simple. You may also need the village chief of your village to go to the town together." Liang Jianzhong asked, and then stood up: "Brother Zhang, I won't bother you anymore."
Zhang Hao also stood up: "No problem, Mr. Liang, then we will see you tomorrow."
He sent the five people to the door and watched them go away. He watched Mr. Liang's grandchildren greet him warmly. Zhang Hao put his hands behind his back and watched them go away, then turned his head and turned back. Arrived in the small courtyard.
Li Siyu was rolling up his sleeves and packing the dishes.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Hao immediately stepped forward: "Okay, leave all these to me. You will definitely be tired from cooking so many dishes, so you should have a good rest."
Li Siyu did not stop moving his hands, but lowered his head and asked, "Did you help them find what they need?"
She knew before that these people came to Zhang Hao to ask for medicine. Although she didn't know exactly what medicine they were looking for, she knew that the medicine was not easy to get. At that time, she heard words like "one million".
How could a medicine worth a million be something that could be easily obtained?
Zhang Hao smiled: "I found it, and the price has just been negotiated."
"Oh, what's the final negotiated price?" she asked casually.
Zhang Hao put away the bowls and chopsticks with a smile on his lips: "Three million, plus building roads for the village."
Li Siyu stopped cleaning the dishes and almost dropped the plate on the ground. Her beautiful eyes trembled and her pupils shrank sharply.
Three million...that's a whole three million!
This is a huge sum of money, an absolute huge sum of money. Even if all the families in Zhaojia Village were to pool their money together, it would be impossible to reach this figure.
And as a video blogger, although she is still making some progress, her annual income from videos is only a few hundred thousand, not even two hundred thousand.
Now Zhang Hao can make three million by just selling some medicinal materials casually?
Is this medicinal material... a bit too valuable?
She stared at Zhang Hao in astonishment, feeling more and more unable to understand the man in front of her. From the first time she saw Zhang Hao's excessive drinking to now, Zhang Hao had changed so much.
"Now you don't have to be so tired. We have money." Zhang Hao raised his head and smiled at her.
Li Siyu looked at him and gradually showed a smile.
……
After clearing away the dishes, Zhang Hao returned to his penthouse.
He took out the ten-year-old angelica that Xiaobai had found and put it aside for the time being. He also took out the other ordinary medicinal materials that he found. These ordinary medicinal materials, as well as the roots, branches and leaves of angelica, etc., will be Xiaobai's food in the future. Angelica sinensis needs to be dried in the sun and then given to Li Siyu to condition her body.
Then, Zhang Hao set his sights on the Guling Basket.
I have been eating since I came back, and now I finally have time to look at Shanbao and "Zoushan Ginseng".
Ignoring "Mountain Ginseng" for the time being, Zhang Hao carefully picked up the wicker chair and opened the lid.
The human-shaped earthen statue "lying" in the wicker chair remains the same, without any change.
He gently reached out and wanted to pick up the [Shan Ling Earthen Statue]. However, just when his hand touched the [Shan Ling Earthen Statue] and wanted to hold it in his hand, [Shan Ling Earthen Statue] But the clay statue seemed to be scattered. Before Zhang Hao could hold it in his hand, it turned into a wisp of fine soil and fell back into the wicker chair along his fingers.
Zhang Hao was not surprised, even a little surprised.
Sure enough, just like what was recorded in the "Illustrated Record of Traveling in the Mountains", the "Shanling Earth Statue" will turn into sand when touched, and the human form will be destroyed, but there is no need to worry, as long as some time passes, the "Shanling Earth Statue" will Image] will turn into its original human form by itself, and the effect will not be damaged in any way.
This is also a way for the [Shanling Earthen Statue] to protect itself, to avoid being taken away.
Looking at this [Mountain Spirit Clay Statue] with great interest, Zhang Hao felt even more delighted. This thing is really a treasure.
According to records in ancient books, [Shanling Earthen Statue] is not as highly malleable as [Thunder Tribulation Wood]. Whatever is carved has its effect. The attributes and abilities of [Shanling Earthen Statue] are relatively fixed.
The thing that impressed him the most was that the [Mountain Spirit Earth Statue] could be used to accumulate spiritual pets and spiritual herbs. Simply put, the [Mountain Spirit Earth Statue] was placed in the soil. Within a certain range, the soil It also possesses spirituality, which can be used to raise spiritual pets and spiritual grass. As long as specific plants grow in this soil, they all have spirituality. The same is true for spiritual pets. Over time, they can also possess spirituality.
However, this is not the most powerful thing. According to Zhang Hao's records in ancient books, the [Mountain Spirit Clay Statue] has the ability to grow, which is what Zhang Hao values most.
In the "Illustrated Record of Mountain Walking Travels", a certain mountain walker once mentioned that "mountain spirit earth statues" can grow in a specific way. Spiritual grass, spiritual pets, etc. are also one of the ways of growth. 1. After years of growth, [Shanling Earth Statue] is very likely to grow into the legendary [Xuan Huang Earth]!
And [Xuan Huang Tu] is naturally the one in folk mythology.
Of course, this is just what a senior hiker mentioned in the "Illustrated Record of Mountain Walking Travels". Whether there really is such a thing as "Xuan Loess", previous hikers have never seen it. They are all just Rumors and legends.
After all, [Mountain Spirit Clay Statue] is not something that every mountain walker can find. Zhang Hao was able to get it because he was lucky. He was like the chosen one.
Putting the [Shanling Clay Statue] and the rattan chair in the Guling Basket, he then focused on the four "Mountain Ginsengs" bound by the [Guling Knot] tied with red rope.
Picking up a "Wandering Wild Ginseng" and putting it in his hand, he curled his lips.
I will use this "wild ginseng" to cook tonight and help Li Siyu take care of his body.
……
The setting sun hangs high over the mountains in the west, and the beautiful sunset glows in the sky.
Zhang Hao sat in the quiet and peaceful courtyard and watched Li Siyu, dressed in Hanfu and holding up her skirt, cross the threshold: "Let's have chicken soup tonight. Brother Hai shot a pheasant and brought it to us. .”
Li Siyu paused and nodded lightly: "Okay."
As she spoke, she put down the farm tools and basket and walked into the kitchen.
Zhang Hao also followed in, holding more than half of a ginseng root in his hand: "I just want to add this too. I went hiking and found ginseng this time."
He processed this "Wandering Ginseng" using special processing methods in the afternoon, leaving one root to be brought to Mr. Liang tomorrow, and the remaining half of the "Wandering Ginseng" was stewed directly.
Li Siyu took over half of the "walking ginseng" and asked casually: "Isn't this ginseng old? Why not sell it together."
Zhang Hao turned his head and said with a smile: "This ginseng is different. It's not that valuable. It's best to use it to regulate your body."
If Liang Jianzhong were present, he would definitely vomit blood on the spot.
If the senior walkers of the past generations were present, they would even shout something like "waste of natural resources" and strongly condemn Zhang Hao's behavior of stewing such a precious thing in order to save his wife.
One root is worth three million. The value of most of this ginseng root is immeasurable. Zhang Hao actually said that it is not that valuable... Zhang Hao did not dare to tell Li Siyu the value of most of the ginseng root. What if Li Siyu knew that they were using it to stew chicken tonight? Most of the ginseng was worth more than five million or more. Even Li Siyu didn't dare to cook.
Of course, Zhang Hao is the only one who dares to eat the "walking wild ginseng" directly in chicken soup.
He has the inheritance of a mountain walker, and his physique has been slightly changed. In addition, he is a mountain person and can absorb the extremely powerful medicinal properties of "walking mountain ginseng".
Li Siyu suffers from a hidden disease. If she wants to cure the hidden disease and make her body better, she must take a strong medicine.
Moreover, stewing chicken soup with "Zoushan Ginseng" is two different things from making medicinal herbs. You cannot eat too much of medicinal herbs at one time, but stewing chicken soup depends on your mood. As long as you use the correct stewing method, the medicinal properties will only dissipate a little. In this way, Li Siyu's symptoms will be gentler and will not cause additional burden on the body.
"This should be put into the water with the pheasant meat and stewed for at least two hours." Zhang Hao instructed.
Li Siyu nodded and said coquettishly: "I understand, please go out quickly. It's nothing for a grown man to stay in the kitchen."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Hao walked out of the kitchen, took out Xiaobai's rice bowl, found some common medicinal materials, and mixed a little of the terminal roots of "Wandering Ginseng".
Caressing Xiaobai's forehead, he placed the rice bowl in front of Xiaobai, who was wagging his tail and very happy. He said: "Xiaobai, you are a great contributor to this mountain walk. Eat quickly."
"Woof woof woof! Oooh~" Xiaobai let out a cry of joy, then put the dog's head into the bowl, opened the bloody nipple, and ate with big mouthfuls.
Xiao Bai was enjoying the food happily; Li Siyu was busy with dinner in the kitchen; Zhang Hao looked up at the sunset and then at Li Siyu.
The sunset swayed over the bluestone slabs, new buds appeared on the peach trees, and the bare grass became green for the first time, with an occasional breeze blowing.
Plain and quiet.
……
Night falls.
Waves of aroma lingered in the air, and Zhang Hao hurriedly ran out of the kitchen with a basin full of chicken soup, but he ran out carefully.
Putting the full basin of chicken soup on the dining table, he quickly put his hands on both sides of his earlobes.
Li Siyu followed him, carrying two plates of food.
After preparing the bowls and chopsticks, the two of them sat opposite each other. Xiaobai squatted just right between the two of them, tilting his head, looking longingly at the hot steam rising from the pot of chicken soup, and saliva flowed from his mouth.
"You have taken so many medicinal materials, you can't take any more!" Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and scolded.
"Woof!" Xiaobai seemed to protest.
Zhang Hao stared at it: "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Woof!" Xiaobai seemed to retort.
Li Siyu sat in his seat and covered his mouth and smiled, his beautiful eyes forming a crescent moon: "How about giving it a piece of pheasant. It was waiting aside while I was making chicken soup, so just give it a piece."
"Woof woof!" Xiaobai's cry was full of joy, and his tail flew up wagging.
"Oh, just pet it." Zhang Hao had no choice but to stand up and pick up Xiao Bai's rice bowl, picked a piece of pheasant meat from the bowl, and picked a small piece of "wild ginseng" and placed it in front of Xiao Bai: " You can only eat so much.”
Xiaobai didn't care what he said, he just started eating the chicken.
Zhang Hao shook his head and laughed, ignoring Xiao Bai. He dug out a large bowl of chicken soup for Li Siyu and picked out a few slices of "Zoushan Ginseng": "Eat slowly and eat this ginseng too. It is good for the body."< br>
"Yeah." Li Siyu took the bowl, picked up the spoon, and took a sip of the soup first, hoping to temporarily stop the secretion of saliva in his mouth.
The chicken soup is sweet in the mouth, slightly bitter, but has no fishy smell. After swallowing, it has a sweet taste and a rich fragrance on the tip of your teeth. You can't help but want to take another sip immediately to add to the rich taste.
Li Siyu was stunned for a moment while holding the bowl, feeling confused.
It's not that she has never had pheasant soup. The pheasant soup she made before always has a fishy smell, which is inevitable. Pheasants just have a fishy smell, but this time the stew does not have this fishy smell, but is better than hers. All the stewed soups taste better, and they are better than the previous [Dipsacus] soup.
Is this the function of ginseng?
Li Siyu thought silently and concluded the answer in his heart.
I thought it could only be the effect of ginseng. It turns out that chicken soup stewed with ginseng tastes like this.
She tried her best to control it, sipping the soup in small sips, occasionally eating a piece of chicken, which tasted delicious. As the pheasant soup entered her mouth, she felt that her body seemed to be filled with warmth, and that warmth flowed freely through her body. , it was so comfortable that she couldn't help but want to make a sound of pleasure, but she still held it back.
Zhang Hao also ate very deliciously, feeling the warm current in his body while eating. This is the effect of "walking wild ginseng". It nourishes the body, helps the body expel toxins, and makes the body purer and free of impurities.
It didn't take long for the two of them to finish the full bowl of chicken soup. Li Siyu drank the last mouthful of chicken soup in the bowl and even accidentally burped quietly, then blushed.
She drank three bowls of chicken soup tonight, unable to control her mouth at all, and accidentally ate too much.
Zhang Hao didn't criticize, he patted his belly gently and slumped on the chair: "Sure enough, the taste of chicken soup stewed with ginseng is different."
"Well, indeed, it tastes really good. One, I drank too much as soon as I couldn't control it." Li Siyu said shyly.
Zhang Hao looked at her and smiled happily: "That's good. This chicken soup is good for both you and me. The more you drink, the faster your health will get better."
"Well..." Li Siyu glanced up at him secretly, then immediately lowered his head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Thank you... thank you, Zhang Hao."
Zhang Hao was stunned: "What?"
Li Siyu smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing."
Then, she looked at the leftovers and bowls and chopsticks in front of her.
Before he could speak, he heard Zhang Hao say: "Go and have a rest. You just finished drinking the chicken soup. You can't move around casually. I'll just clean up here."
Li Siyu was obedient and did not move. Instead, she raised her head and looked at him: "Well, I'm going to town for a review tomorrow. Can you go with me?"
Zhang Hao put away the dishes and chopsticks for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I happen to be going to town tomorrow, let's go together, and I will take you to sit in the Maybach by the way."
