Chapter 132: Go over the mountains to see you
Grandpa Kong poured the snake wine into the bamboo cup. Everyone took a glass, raised their glasses, and drank it all. Even Grandpa Kong was shocked. These people had a good drinking capacity. But Grandpa Kong couldn't help but laugh. This is
Medicinal wine, isn’t this too strong to drink?
Liu Chen drank it all in one gulp, not to mention how bad he thought it would be. After drinking it, he felt okay. It was not as bad as he imagined. After all, a lot of Chinese herbal medicine was added to it. It had a herbal smell, but the fishy smell of snakes was intoxicating.
Out.
What Grandpa Kong took this time was an eight-pound five-step snake soaked in medicinal wine for a year. The color of the wine was dark green.
After drinking a glass of wine, Liu Chen felt that his whole body was hot, and his blood was flowing very fast. He felt that every muscle and bone in his body had been dredged, his blood circulation accelerated, and his qi and blood circulated smoothly, as if the Ren and Du meridians had been opened. He felt refreshed and refreshed.
Refreshing and energetic.
Liu Chen thought to himself, is this thing so effective? The fatigue he felt from climbing the mountain just now is gone now? Isn't this amazing?
Liu Chen looked at Gu Wanjun, wondering if they felt the same as him.
"Everyone eat vegetables." Grandpa Kong said while looking at everyone with a smile.
How many years have passed? This is the first time that so many people have eaten together, and the first time that so many dishes have been cooked. Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it has been decades since I came to this mountain. He used to be the only one
People have three meals a day and watch the sunrise and sunset. The worst thing is that there is only one more boy. Now Grandpa Kong feels that he is quite happy. At least it makes him feel the happiness of family, which turns out to be sweet.
"Grandpa, this is so delicious."
“This muntjac meat is delicious.”
Everyone wolfed down the food. It's great to be young. At least you have good teeth and delicious food.
Although I had prepared a lot of food, including chicken, fish, meat and eggs, when I actually ate it, I still felt lonely and didn’t want to eat it. I just ate something casually every day and felt full.
"Everyone try this bamboo chicken. I caught it in the mountains."
I picked up a piece of meat and chewed it in my mouth. The bamboo chicken had thin bones and thick meat. The meat was tender and delicious, and quite fragrant.
Liu Chen ate a piece and it tasted really good. He picked another piece and put it in his mouth.
"Fragrant" Liu Chen, don't eat it and don't say it.
Grandpa Kong told Liu Chen, don’t underestimate this bamboo chicken. It is rich in nutritional value. It has high protein, low calories and low cholesterol nutrients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bamboo chicken breast is sweet and warm, and can nourish the soul.
It is beneficial to the brain and intelligence, and can also remove insects and toxins. It is good for spleen and stomach deficiency, indigestion, etc.
Grandpa Kong told everyone that it was so nutritious. Liu Chen felt itchy. This is good stuff. He will let everyone eat more later. Not to mention the nutrition, it just tastes good, tastes good, and smells great.
"Your grandma used to like to eat it the most. It was mixed with some Chinese medicine to make soup. The taste and nutrition were really amazing." Grandpa Kong said, raising the corners of his mouth as he recalled.
"Grandpa, let's go up the mountain to catch some more tomorrow and bring them to grandma." Once Wang Xiong heard that grandma likes to eat, he had to make arrangements.
Grandpa Kong laughed again, shook his head and said: "There is no need to go up the mountain to hunt. I have many mountains behind me. I hunted them all, and then I just raised them."
When Liu Chen heard that his grandfather also raised bamboo chickens, he felt very good about it. He didn't know if the bamboo chickens were for sale, but if they were sold, he would buy them.
Even if he doesn't sell it, it's okay, but this time he comes, grandpa is going to give him deer antlers and get some snake wine back. This thing has a miraculous effect on rheumatism and waist and leg pain.
Everyone started eating in a hurry, and there were constant sounds of smashing and slurping.
Grandpa looked at everyone, why are these children so greedy? They have such a good appetite, they look just like him when he was young.
Everyone's bamboo cups were out of wine, so Grandpa Kong poured some more.
"Eat the food first, drink the wine slowly, and don't drink too much at one time."
Everyone ate with sips of wine and food, and soon all the food on the table was looted.
After eating, Liu Chen looked at the mountains in the distance and stretched his arms. Not to mention that the medicinal wine was very effective. His calves were so tired from climbing mountains. After drinking the wine, his legs ached and his waist was gone. It seemed like this
It's really good stuff.
The blood color of the setting sun has faded, and the cool mountain breeze blows on your feet, giving you a slight chill. The singing of golden bells in the grass, the sound of crickets, and the cries of cicadas on the trees make people feel the wonder of nature.
The curtain of night slowly falls. Looking up, the mountains in the distance are hazy, but still vaguely visible. Not far away, the Qianmo trail is surrounded by green grass, and the pines and cypresses are green on both sides of the road. It is a beautiful picture.
A few people finished washing and fell asleep to the sounds of insects and birds.
In the early morning, everything is quiet. There is a trace of light on the eastern horizon, dewdrops are shining on the crystal clear grass, unknown birds are chirping, and a fresh and fragrant air blows in the face.
Everyone got up and washed up. Grandpa Kong and Boying had already prepared breakfast.
Breakfast is very simple, including glutinous rice cakes, rice porridge, fried pickles, dried salted fish, corn pancakes, etc.
After breakfast, Grandpa Kong started to pack his things. It was a lot to pack, and the thought of seeing his grandma made him smile constantly.
I caught a few bamboo chickens and killed them and took them with me, as well as the wild boar meat I made myself. I also had to take the muntjac meat with me. Not to mention the medicinal wine, I had to take it with me. I heard that my grandma was suffering from rheumatism and he was in the mountains day after day.
I made snake wine, just thinking that one day I could give it to grandma with my hands. There were also some Chinese medicinal materials. The backpacks of several people were all full. It was really no longer possible to carry any more, so grandpa stopped. Grandpa couldn’t wait to give all the good things to him.
Grandma sent it.
Liu Chen took a lot of good things from his grandfather and felt a little embarrassed. He had to take out a pair of couple's watches and gave them to his grandfather, and asked him to give them to grandma when the time came. Several people were worried about their grandfather.
Holding the watch, grandpa laughed and cried. He really didn't expect that he could be given something like this at this time. Thinking about the things he gave to grandma before, there really wasn't anything good.
Grandpa nodded and told Liu Chen and the others that they could take whatever they wanted from the medicinal wine in the room, as long as they could carry it.
After hearing this, Liu Chen was overjoyed. This was great. Liu Chen was not greedy either. He brought a large jar of Five-step Snake Wine and Black-Shaped Snake Wine. Wang Xiong also received two large jars of medicinal wine. Gu Wanjun did not ask for it.
Anyway, Wang Xiongna and Liu Chenna both needed it, and Bo Ying didn't want it either. After all, she was very close to Grandpa Kong's house and could come over for a drink at any time, and she didn't drink less.
They brought a lot of things with them, and several people happily walked down the mountain.
Especially Grandpa Kong, he was dancing and excited like a child.
From time to time, he would ask Liu Chen if his clothes were neat and tidy, and from time to time, he would ask Wang Xiong if he would bring less things.
It has been many years since I left the mountains, and I have not seen my childhood sweetheart for many years. Now that I was about to meet him, I was still extremely excited and extremely scared.
"Grandpa, don't be nervous, you are very handsome and good-looking." Gu Wanjun walked to her grandfather and said with a smile.
"Grandpa." Grandpa Kong couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old when he separated from his grandma, and now his hair has turned gray in the blink of an eye.
Several people were walking, talking and laughing.
"Grandpa, look, there are a lot of fish in that river." The fish Liu Chen saw when he came here are still there now. Hearing what Bo Ying said is so good, this must be captured.
"Kanglangyu, I brought some dried fish here. It's usually hard to catch fresh fish."
Although Grandpa Kong brought dried fish, the water was clear and there were a lot of fish that resisted waves. For Liu Chen, who loves fish, this fish was a bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Liu Chen put the things on the shore and slowly went down to catch fish.
Bo Ying watched and quickly followed. Bo Ying was still hesitant about catching fish.
Liu Chen slowly went into the water and saw that there were many fish in it. These fish were three to four inches long, shaped like arrows, and silvery white. Not to mention there were quite a lot of them.
Liu Chen went down and caught them for a long time, but only caught two. Seeing that his skills were not good, Liu Chen thought to himself, if Liu Hu was not here, if the tigers came, he would have caught a lot.
Bo Ying, who was watching on the side, laughed. If they continue to be caught like this, how long will it take for them to be caught? How can they keep going?
I saw Bo Ying calling Liu Chen up and going down to catch him.
Liu Chen saw Bo Ying waving to him, indicating that he should go ashore.
Liu Chen came up quickly, and Boying told Liu Chen that the anti-wave fish is different from other fish. This fish prefers to gather in places with higher water temperatures, and it also becomes lazy.
I saw Boying making a small channel near the place where Kanglang fish often appears. When Kanglang fish swam nearby, it sensed the change in water temperature and slowly swam into the channel on its own initiative. Boying looked at the water in the channel.
Fish, caught with a smile.
Liu Chen was dumbfounded. This was too impressive. Isn't this just like catching a turtle in a urn? Even the most agile anti-wave fish can catch it accurately. Liu Chen was convinced. Liu Chen was completely convinced.
After catching a lot of fish, Liu Chen brought a wooden barrel with him when he came from his grandfather's house, just to catch fish, which came in handy now.
When they came ashore, Liu Chen was holding the fish, but everyone looked down upon it. The fish was very small, so it was not as tasty as the big fat fish.
A few people continued walking and saw some small yellow-green flowers in a patch of grass. Liu Chen pointed at them: "Look at those flowers, they are pretty."
Everyone followed the direction of Liu Chen's finger and saw Grandpa Kong saying with a smile: "That one is Jin Buhuan, also called Panax notoginseng flower."
When Liu Chen heard about Sanqi, he felt excited and ran over quickly. This was Sanqi. It was the first time he had seen it.
"Let's leave quickly." Grandpa Kong looked at Liu Chen. He really didn't want to waste time. There was no shortage of this kind of herb in the mountain. Now he just wanted to see the person he had been longing for as soon as possible.
Liu Chen thought to himself, this is a good thing. If you don't use a good thing, wouldn't it be a waste? It would be better to take it home.
"Grandpa, you see how good this is, you might as well dig it back."
Liu Chen said, digging with the knife he brought with him. Gu Wanjun and Bo Ying also came to help, and soon they dug a lot and put them in Liu Chen's backpack.
