Su Xiao originally thought that this thing was just a simple drying device. Apart from drying moist herbs and vegetables, it would not be of much use.
This thing is also multi-functional. In addition to drying herbs and vegetables and fruits with one click, it can also control the firepower freely. It is no problem to roast sweet potatoes, and beef jerky is no problem!
The most outrageous thing is that it also has an automatic stir-frying function. It can stir-fry melon seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, and almonds. It is said that the texture is crispier than manual stir-frying!
Su Xiao happily touched this practical machine, as if she saw countless dried fruits flowing out from here, and then turned into glittering golden coins, piled up like mountains!
With such a sharp artifact, once she becomes the "Queen of Dried Fruits", let's see who dares to compete with her!
Su Xiaozhi opened the machine with great satisfaction, threw the piles of medicinal materials into the categories, then pressed the "Start" button and waited for the first batch of dried medicinal materials to come out.
Because it was her first time to use this thing, she did not dare to take it lightly even though the advertisement in the mall said it was all over the place, so she first chose the lowest-valued herb and put it in.
A quarter of an hour later, the words "Drying Complete" appeared on the display. Su Xiao couldn't wait to open the machine, picked out a still warm herb and observed it carefully.
She pinched the herb to check the drying condition, then brought it close to her nose and took a deep sniff. Yes, it was just right, and the fragrance was more mellow, indicating that the medicinal properties were retained to the greatest extent!
The first test was a perfect success. Su Xiao felt relieved and started "refining" one furnace after another. It took less than two hours to dry all the medicinal materials!
At this time, the side room was already filled with oil-paper packages. She tied the last package of ginseng, wiped the sweat, and showed a satisfied smile!
At first, I agreed with Mr. Jiang that the delivery would be delivered within half a month. I was worried that if I used the spread-drying method, I would not be able to make enough time. I didn’t expect that with the use of a dryer, it could be done so quickly!
She pushed the door open and walked out with satisfaction. Just as she was about to speak to the master and servant sitting in the courtyard, she suddenly faced a black shadow that passed by very fast and headed straight for her door!
"What kind of hidden weapon?" Su Xiao was startled, leaned back to avoid it, then stretched out her arm and grabbed the "hidden weapon" directly in her hand!
As soon as she touched the thing, she felt something was wrong. It was soft, warm and fluffy... When she caught it, she saw that it was a very fat pigeon!
The pigeon stared with two black mung bean eyes and flapped its wings vigorously in an attempt to break away. Seeing that Su Xiao's grip was too tight, it rolled its eyes and became motionless as if it had died!
When Su Xiao saw that the pigeon was no longer moving, she carefully opened her hands and took a look. The pigeon was lying in the palm of her hand with its feet stretched high above the sky, looking miserable and miserable.
"Miss Su, this, this, this is the master's carrier pigeon!" Zhu Ying saw Su Xiao walking over holding a gray object. He took a closer look and immediately ran over in shock!
"...I didn't do anything to it. As soon as I caught it, it turned upside down..." Su Xiao faced Zhuying's reproachful gaze, poked the pigeon and defended in a low voice.
Zhuying shook his head, took the pigeon from Su Xiao, and carefully brought it in front of Song Zeyi.
When Song Zeyi saw the pigeon's miserable condition, he didn't say anything. He took off the bamboo tube from its anklet and threw it into the air as if it were a normal thing!
I saw that the pigeon that had been "dead with eyes closed" just now suddenly came to life, flapped its wings and flew around Song Zeyi twice before landing, and stood obediently on his shoulder.
"Ha, Miss Su, you must have been scared just now. Xiao Hui is very smart. If someone catches him on the way to deliver the letter, he will pretend to be dead and run away without warning!"
Zhu Ying couldn't help but laugh, and pointed at the pigeon that tilted its head and looked at Su Xiao, indeed looking smart, and explained.
Su Xiao, who was teased by a bird, wasn't angry either. Instead, she laughed along with Zhu Ying.
She thought the thief pigeon was really cute, so she went back to get a handful of millet, and walked closer to feed it to the pigeon.
At this time, Song Zeyi was reading the letter. The pigeon jumped on the table and walked around with two short legs. When he saw Su Xiao approaching with millet in hand, he turned his head and left with a look of arrogance!
"My master has raised it with my own hands since it was a child. It has been chewed up since it was born. It eats nothing except live insects, beef, and rice mixed with egg yolks!"
With that said, Zhuying picked up a leftover egg from the table, peeled it open and stuffed the egg white directly into his mouth, and handed the yolk to Su Xiao.
Su Xiao broke the egg yolk into pieces and put it in the palm of her hand. Sure enough, the pigeon walked over, tilted its head and looked at Su Xiao for a while, then lowered its head and started to peck at it.
An itchy feeling came from the palm of her hand. Su Xiao became more interested in this little thing and watched it eating happily.
This thing was quite useful in ancient times. After all, communication here basically relies on shouting. For example, if she has prepared goods and wants to notify Mr. Jiang, she has no other choice but to go to the county town in person!
Just when Su Xiao was thinking about how many pigeons she wanted to raise, Song Zeyi put down the letter in his hand with a serious look on his face.
"He Dagang and the others, something happened in Qingyun Mountain!" He looked at Su Xiao and said solemnly.
"Ah?!" Su Xiao stood up suddenly, the egg yolks in her palms scattered on the floor, and the pigeons were frightened by her exclamation and flew up, "What happened?"
Suddenly hearing the news, Su Xiao's heart tightened. Originally, they had been there for so long and there was no news. She comforted herself that no news was good news.
They were sent to the mountain by herself. If something really happened, she might never be able to forgive herself in her lifetime!
"Don't worry, He Dagang was stabbed because of a conflict with bandits, but he has taken your medicine and his life is not in danger."
As Song Zeyi spoke, he took Lidya Su's wrist and asked her to sit down, and told her everything written in the letter.
It turned out that because He Dagang and the others were ferocious-looking and proficient in martial arts, they were favored by a small boss as soon as they went up the mountain and made them his subordinates.
Two days ago, this little boss was fighting for power with another boss, and a scuffle broke out between the two parties. When He Dagang saw someone stabbing the little boss with a knife, he stood up and blocked the knife for him.
The knife stabbed the side of the waist and caused a lot of blood. Fortunately, they remembered Su Xiao's instructions and kept the life-saving medicine with them, and stopped the bleeding in time for He Dagang after they returned.
Now He Dagang is still in bed recuperating, but it is a blessing in disguise, because this knife has gained the trust of the little boss, and he now treats him as a brother.
Hearing that He Dagang's life was not in danger, Su Xiao was slightly relieved, but she still couldn't let go of her hanging heart.
He was stabbed just a few days ago. Although he deliberately said it lightly, since he used life-saving medicine, it means that the actual injury was much more serious than what was written in the letter!
"It's injured on the waist and stabbed with a knife. If it hurts the spleen, it's over. Send a message quickly and ask them to send the person down the mountain!"
The more Su Xiao thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she couldn't help but start shooting the case directly!
