Most of the places on the mountain are fenced, with sharpened bamboo facing outwards or upwards to protect against predators.

Walls have still been built in some places.

However, the construction of this fence is the opposite of what the villagers built. It is built with adobe bricks on the outside and blue bricks on the inside.

This also makes sense.

Sharpened bamboo or glass ballast were placed in the gaps between the adobe bricks on the outside, and a blue brick wall was built on the inside. This was quite a strong defense against ferocious beasts.

Of course, there are several walls that are made of ready-made stones from the mountains, which are stronger than blue bricks.

Su Xiaoruan handed over the ratio of the material bags to Su Jianye without reservation, but reminded him repeatedly that the raw materials can be exposed, but the ratio cannot be told to others casually.

Xie Wen didn't expect to let the Red Star Brigade mess around on their own. Although Su Xiaoruan got the black fungus, it didn't mean that she was completely mature in this area of ​​technology.

Therefore, Xie Wen simply brought a pair of teachers and students from the provincial capital to temporarily serve as technical guidance here.

Of course, the main reason why Xie Wen acted so quickly was because the teacher was currently in poor condition in the provincial capital. If arrangements could not be made as soon as possible, something might happen.

In other words, this can be considered as killing multiple birds with one stone.

It not only protects the teacher, but also allows him to shine in the Red Star Brigade. At the same time, it also prevents the Xie family from being too passive in the provincial capital.

In fact, Su Guoan was not happy with the addition of two more technical directors.

I always feel that this is another way to share their money and food for free.

But Su Xiaoruan felt that if more professional people came over, their fungus and mushroom cultivation would only get better and better.

With all this busy work, we are entering the twelfth lunar month before our eyes.

Su Jianguo and Ding Xinlan also received the New Year gifts prepared by Su Jianguo and Ding Xinlan. Su Xiaoruan discussed it with Grandma Su alone and took out the packaged medicinal materials to show her.

"Mom, I don't have anything good to give to my uncle. I got this Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains before, and two others were given by my grandpa. I want to send these to my uncle. In addition, here are some sweaters. Look at them.

How about I send it to them?"

If Su Xiaoruan wants to send something to her uncle, she still has to ask her grandma to help her.

Grandma Su saw that the sweaters she took out were all of the same color, and there were no patterns on them. There was one purple-red one, and she knew at a glance that it was for Ding Xinlan.

The other three pieces, one is navy blue, and the other two are ordinary military green, no problem.

"There's nothing wrong with these sweaters. I'll ask your father to take you to mail them tomorrow."

"Mom, I still have some Gastrodia elata and Dendrobium. I sold some to Uncle Da before. I want to send the rest to my uncle. Grandpa Niu has already told me the specific effects of these two herbs. I

According to what Grandpa Niu said, I made a few recipes for herbal meals, and I plan to write them all down clearly to my aunt. My uncle has been in the army for many years, and there are bound to be hidden wounds on his body, so it is always good to mend them."

Grandma Su felt very worried.

How could I say this granddaughter is so considerate!

"Good boy, I will listen to you."

Su Xiaoruan specifically asked Grandpa Niu for advice before.

Although she does not plan to become a doctor, she still needs to deal with traditional Chinese medicine if she wants to adjust her family's health.

The effects of Gastrodia elata include calming wind and relieving spasm, calming liver yang, dispelling wind and dredging collaterals, and can be used for infantile convulsions, convulsions, tetanus, headache, dizziness, paralysis of the limbs, numbness of the limbs, rheumatic paralysis, etc.

Su Xiaoruan went out of his way to be nice and said a lot of nice things to Lao Niutou, and finally got some prescriptions for food supplements.

"Nai, I have fresh Gastrodia elata here. Grandpa Niu said it can be used to make soup. I'll go find Mom and give it a try."

Zhao Hongmei is busy in the kitchen behind the main room.

There were kangs and fire walls in the house, so it was very warm.

The seasonings at home are not complete now, nor are the other required medicinal materials, so Su Xiaoruan chose the simplest one.

"Mom, cut the Gastrodia elata into thin slices for later use, slice the meat into soup, and then add the fresh Gastrodia elata slices and cook together."

It was the first time Zhao Hongmei did this, so she was a little worried.

Meat is a good thing, and gastrodia elata is also a good thing, but you can't destroy it in your own hands.

The final product is acceptable. Although it is not that beautiful, it is not hard to swallow.

When Su Jianye learned that there was Gastrodia elata in it, he drank two large bowls in a row, fearing that he would waste another good thing.

Two days later, Su Xiaoruan took advantage of the fact that no one was at home, so he just did it himself.

Well, that's not entirely correct. The person responsible for peeling, washing, and chopping chickens is Huo Yunlei.

The person in charge of lighting the fire is Huo Xiaoyan.

Su Xiaoruan was basically just responsible for cutting a few slices of ginger and adding a few spoons of water.

Su Xiaoruan was holding a list and was still mumbling: "The chickens were slaughtered and cleaned; the red dates and wolfberries were washed with water. The gastrodia elata was softened by adding a little sugar in advance. Hey, Grandpa Niu didn't say whether to cut the gastrodia elata?

"

Huo Xiaoyan replied: "Sister, can you cut such a hard thing?"

Su Xiaoruan took a look, curled her lips, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Ruanbao, the chicken has been washed, what should we do next?"

Su Xiaoruan looked at the order again, and then began to give instructions.

After adding water to the pot and boiling, add some white wine to remove the fishy smell, then put the cleaned chicken into the pot and cook.

After the blood foam and dirt are boiled, turn off the heat, take them out, and rinse them thoroughly.

Of course, the matter of flushing became Huo Yunlei's responsibility again.

Su Xiaoruan wanted to do it by herself, but Huo Yunlei didn't agree. This was because he had seen Su Xiaoruan's squeamish behavior so much that he was not willing to let her touch this greasy chicken.

Huo Yunlei went to wash the chicken, and Su Xiaoruan tried to cut the soaked gastrodia elata into thin slices. It was okay. As expected, it was easier to cut after it was soaked.

This was the first time Su Xiaoruan made it, so he didn't dare to put too much in it, because Grandpa Niu had said that Gastrodia elata is medicine and shouldn't be put in too much, so he only cut seven or eight thin slices, and then cut out a few slices of ginger.

Su Xiaoruan had everything ready, and Huo Yunlei also cleaned the chicken that had been soaked in water.

Put all the ingredients into a casserole, add some cooking wine, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Ask Huo Xiaoyan to remove the heat from the stove, change it to low heat, and simmer for about an hour.

The cooking wine was taken out by Su Xiaoruan from the supermarket. She chose the glass bottle and peeled off the label so that no one else could see anything. Huo Xiaoyan thought it was their family's unique secret ingredient.

When Su Xiaoruan added water, she deliberately added an extra spoonful. She remembered that Zhao Hongmei said that if you want to stew soup, you need to add more water, and it is not easy to add water midway.

The three of them were chatting at the stove and looking at the fire.
Chapter completed!
