Chapter 131 Snake wine and antler cutting
Grandpa Kong stopped and stared at Liu Chen. The words "You Meiying" kept ringing in his ears. The thoughts that once floated in his mind were now being recalled in his mind like a movie. Sadness flashed across Grandpa's eyes.
Yearning crossed the beautiful face of that girl named You Meiying.
You Meiying, these three words have been thought of countless times in my mind, and then they slowly sank and no one mentioned them again.
When You Meiying got married, her heart also died. She ran away to the mountains alone and stopped interacting with everyone in her family. For many years, she was alone, accompanied by the sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, insects, and fish, every time in the dead of night.
At that time, these three words came to mind in my ears, and I told him with a smile that I must be strong and live well. It was only because of these thoughts that I managed to survive until now.
I have wanted to find her countless times, but I don't know in what capacity she appears. I am no longer the Kong Yunxiang of my youth, and she is no longer her You Meiying.
I just waited like this, not knowing why I was waiting, or for what I was waiting for. Slowly, I got used to waiting like this, and got used to this sadness...
"Grandpa, do you still remember this?" Liu Chen took out the wooden moon necklace that his grandma gave him.
The moon-shaped wood of this necklace is made of agarwood. At that time, Grandpa Kong Yunxiang told Grandma You Meiying that agarwood is the king of fragrances and the first of all fragrances. It is said that agarwood has the power to clear people and spirits, nourish the five internal organs, and benefit the essence and yang.
It warms the waist and knees and cures asthma, so You Meiying can stay safe while wearing it.
Grandpa's eyes were already blurry at this time, and tears flowed down his wrinkled face. He said tremblingly: "Is she okay?"
At this time, Gu Wanjun and Boying had already burst into tears. Wang Xiong couldn't help but hold Grandpa Kong's hand and said, "Grandpa, grandma is very good."
Liu Chen looked at Grandpa Kong, nodded firmly and said: "She is very good. She asked me to tell you that every inch of love misses you thousands of times. There is no place for arrangement in this world."
Grandpa Kong knelt down and cried, crying so sadly.
After a long time, grandpa wiped his tears and smiled: "Where is she? Can I go find her?"
Over the past few decades, how many times has he wanted to find her, but he didn't dare and couldn't disturb her. Even though he walked far away, his heart could not let go. Now that the two of them have become distant, how about going to see her now?
She may never be seen again in this life.
Wang Xiong told Grandpa Kong about his grandma's condition again. Grandpa put his arm around Wang Xiong's shoulders and looked at her again and again. Wang Xiong's eyebrows still looked a bit like You Meiying.
"Then let's go see her tomorrow." Grandpa Kong doesn't want to wait any longer. Maybe if he waits any longer, he won't be able to wait for a lifetime.
"Okay, let's go tomorrow." Everyone smiled and nodded.
Everyone put down their things, and Liu Chen looked around. The scenery was so beautiful, it was really a fairyland on earth.
Rolling mountains, green woods, graceful winding ridges, winding and circling, like a giant dragon flying in the sky. The blue sky, white clouds, mountains ups and downs, filled with clouds and mist. The mountains are like the sea, and the trees are as angry as the waves.
Tall and straight to heaven and earth, setting an example for eternity.
Liu Chen looked at all this and couldn't help shouting: "I like to see how green and pine trees are everywhere."
"The fog is in the high mountains and the clouds are in the sky, and the ancient pines are emerging from the cliffs." Gu Wanjun said while standing next to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen turned around, looked at Gu Wanjun and said, "Not bad, I know a lot."
"That's right, I also went to school, okay." Gu Wanjun said with her head held high.
"Okay, okay. I underestimated you." Liu Chen said with a smile.
Liu Chen turned around and saw a snake with a brown-black back, a large triangular head, and earthy yellow on the side of the head. It was about 2 meters tall. It was spitting out letters and crawling towards Gu Wanjun.
When Liu Chen saw this snake, his heart trembled. It looked a bit like the five-step snake he had seen on his cell phone before. It usually had a triangular head. Liu Chen felt that it was a highly venomous snake.
"Don't move, there's a snake." Liu Chen said softly.
Gu Wanjun also saw the snake at this time, and was so frightened that she dared not move, and her legs were shaking violently.
Liu Chen had never caught a snake before, so he couldn't help but feel a little scared, but he couldn't panic. If he did, Gu Wanjun would be doomed.
Liu Chen carefully picked up a branch with a fork, walked over gently, inserted it into the head of the five-step snake, and held the head with his hands. He saw that the snake was caught by Liu Chen, and the snake's tail pulled Liu Chen's head.
The arms are rolled up, and the sharp and long teeth are very scary.
"Liu Chen, be careful. It will bite." Gu Wanjun turned pale with fright, and her legs were still shaking.
Liu Chen was holding the snake. Grandpa Kong happened to see it and said with a smile: "You caught the five-step snake. Just in time, you can make medicinal wine."
Grandpa Kong took the snake in Liu Chen's hand, washed it clean, and brought some herbs, including Rehmannia glutinosa, Phellodendron cypress, Sophora flavescens, Salvia miltiorrhiza, chrysanthemum, silver flower, paeonol bark, red peony root, and angelica root.
Lycium barbarum, vine seeds, red Poria, Beixiao, Baibu, Qinjiu, Duhuo, Clematis, mulberry branches, etc. Put the snake in a glass bottle container, pour 60% grain wine, and cover it
Cover and let it soak for 3 to 6 months before drinking.
Liu Chen looked at Grandpa Kong's room. There were a lot of medicinal wine in it. Grandpa introduced it, this is the black snake medicinal wine, this is the cobra's, this is the bungara. Not to mention, there are really a lot of them, look at it
Liu Chen and others were dazzled.
Grandpa Kong introduced the functions and effects of these medicinal wines to Liu Chen. Liu Chen's eyes were straightened. These are all good things. If this is brought to 2022, he will not be rich yet. Even if Grandpa Kong doesn't give it to him
He, as long as he learns how to make medicinal wine from his grandfather, he will be able to earn a lot of money in 2022. At this time, Liu Chen's mind is full of money.
"Grandpa, can I have some drink?" Liu Chen pointed at the medicinal wine and said.
"Okay, I'll pour you some drinks for dinner."
When he heard that he could drink medicinal wine, Liu Chen was very excited and wanted to try the taste and effects. If the effect is good, he would give some to his mother Wang Mudan to drink first. Wang Mudan suffers from rheumatism, waist and leg pain, and rainy weather.
Sometimes I can't walk. It would be great if this works.
Boying came to a sika deer and fed it with some grass. Liu Chen looked at this. This sika deer really looked like his own. It had antler, which is a good thing. But he didn't know how to cut the antler, so he never cut it.
.
Now is a good time to cut deer antler. Grandpa Kong looked at Boying and brought the knife. Liu Chen looked at it and said in surprise: "Grandpa, what are you going to do?"
Liu Chen thought to himself, this grandpa doesn't know how to kill deer and eat meat. Although grandpa is happy when they come, he still doesn't want to kill deer and eat meat. Let's forget it. Although he really wants to eat it, the deer are so cute.
It’s better not to eat too much.
"Look, you can cut the velvet antler." Grandpa Kong pointed at the horns of the sika deer and said.
There was nothing wrong with Bo Ying. She must have been used to Grandpa Kong cutting deer antlers, so she wasn't surprised.
I saw Grandpa Kong bringing some grass for the sika deer to eat. Grandpa told Liu Chen and the others that the grass was goldenrod and had an anesthetic effect. After the sika deer was anesthetized, several people had to hold it down to cut the velvet. Otherwise, you would have five or six
No one can hold it down.
The sika deer ate some. Gradually, the sika deer became more honest. Boying used a sack to cover the deer's head and eyes to prevent the sika deer from seeing the knife and struggling. Tie the hemp rope tightly around the roots of the deer antler, and then started
Cutting and sawing deer antler takes less than five minutes and you can cut off two antler horns.
At this time, I saw that the sika deer's antlers were still bleeding. Grandpa Kong took the burnt plant ash to stop the bleeding and applied it to the stubble to stop the bleeding. Soon, the bleeding was stopped.
Although Liu Chen didn't know much about it, his mother, Hu Xiurong, had bought it before and roughly told him that two-bar velvet antler was good.
Liu Chen looked at the deer antler in Grandpa Kong's hand. Isn't this exactly the second bar?
Liu Chen looked at the deer antler in Grandpa Kong's hand. This was the first time he had cut antlers, and it was also the first time he had seen such fresh antlers.
"This is a good thing, it's very effective." Could Liu Chen not know, this is a good thing.
"These two antlers can be exchanged for some glass bottles." Grandpa Kong said with a smile.
Liu Chen was surprised, what? Did he hear it correctly? What kind of magic operation is this to exchange deer antler for a glass bottle? What kind of bottle is so expensive? You need to exchange deer antler for it?
Liu Chen looked confused.
Isn't this too luxurious? What kind of glass bottles need to be replaced with deer antler? This is deer antler, genuine deer antler, just replace a few glass bottles?
"Grandpa, did you just say that deer antlers should be replaced with glass bottles?"
Liu Chen really couldn't believe his ears, so he checked again.
"Yeah, I need to make medicinal wine, but I can't get a glass bottle without a ticket. Someone gave me a glass bottle, so I used deer antlers and some herbs in exchange."
Liu Chen was completely speechless. Isn't this price too extravagant? No, we can't just be replaced like this.
Liu Chen hurriedly walked up to Grandpa Kong and said with a smile: "Grandpa, please give me your deer antler later. I will get you as many bottles as you want."
Grandpa Kong was stunned, this guy is so eloquent, this bottle is not easy to get, and not only do you need money, but you also need tickets.
"Can you really get the bottle?"
"Well, you can have as many as you want."
Grandpa Kong looked at Liu Chen's determined expression and said, well, he has a lot of deer antlers anyway, so just give it to him. It doesn't matter, as long as he has a bottle to make medicinal wine for himself.
Grandpa Kong dried the velvet antler first to make it easier to preserve.
After the deer antler was dried, it was handed over to Liu Chen.
Looking at the deer antlers, Liu Chen couldn't be happier. A few glass bottles can be exchanged for such good things. This is so happy.
Liu Chen took out a few apples from his bag, washed and cut them, and everyone ate them together. Grandpa Kong ate the mango and said it was delicious.
Everyone helped together for dinner, making dried bamboo shoots and muntjac meat, braised bamboo chicken, tea tree braised wild duck, cucumber salad, etc.
