The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 8

[Chapter 8 Wonderful Flowers Are Everywhere]

Gu Gu Ming looked around and urged her to put away the ganoderma quickly: “You put it away, and when the shopkeeper Qian comes to collect the medicinal materials, you can sell it to him quietly. You haven’t taken care of your body yet, so you will replace it with refined grains. Hide in a hidden cave, let you eat slowly!”

The moment Gu Ye tucked the ganoderma lucidum back into his clothes, he had already moved into the red lotus space. Suddenly, her gaze froze, she gently pulled her brother’s sleeves, and pointed to a bush.

“Pheasant?!” Gu Ming’s eyes flashed with surprise. Holding his breath, he crept closer to the bushes. It’s close, it’s close! Five steps, four steps, three steps… Just as he swooped over, the pheasant flapped its wings, screamed a few times in a hurry, and flew out.

A pine nut in Gu Ye’s hand flew out like a bullet, accurately hitting the wings of the pheasant that just flew off the ground. The pheasant immediately fell and fell heavily to the ground. At this time, Gu Ming just pounced, holding down the struggling pheasant.

“Caught! Got it!! Brother, you are amazing!” Seeing the little boy beaming with joy, his eyes flashing with a look of praising, Gu Ye praised him without hesitation.

The little friends who were scattered around picking up pine towers heard the movement and quickly gathered around. Seeing the pheasant struggling in Gu Ming’s hands, they all showed envious expressions. Li Hao, the 13-year-old eldest grandson of the village chief’s family, exclaimed, “Gu Ming, I really have you! You can actually catch a pheasant with your bare hands, you are even more powerful than the son of Zhang Hunter’s family!

” Stupid, I can’t fly well, I fell off myself, and I took advantage of it for nothing!” Gu Ming said modestly, and his wide open mouth revealed his mood at this time.

“Look, there are bloodstains on the pheasant’s wings. It turns out that it was injured long ago, so it was easy for Gu Ming to catch it.” Li Hao’s cousin, Li Xiuniang, who was the same age as Gu Ye, saw the small wound with sharp eyes.

Gu Ming just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a rough voice like a rooster pinched his neck: “I wounded this pheasant first. Give it back to me!!”

The friends followed the sound. , they frowned. It is Wu Danggui’s mother-in-law. This guy is greedy and stingy, and always likes to take advantage of others. Almost all the people in the village were offended by her, and few were willing to pay attention to her.

Aunt Ying, who was older, stood up and asked: “You said that you injured the pheasant, did anyone see it? Is there any evidence?”

“I said that I beat it, and I beat it, what evidence is not evidence? How can I still coax you group of children when I am such an old man?” Aunt Wu pouted, stepping on her slender legs and rushing towards Gu Ming, she was about to snatch it.

“You have less time to coax people?” Li Hao is the grandson of the village chief, so he is naturally not afraid of her as an outsider. If it wasn’t for Wu Laowu’s simple medical skills, Aunt Wu would have been expelled from Qingshan Village long ago because of her sneaky temperament.

Aunt Wu raised a pair of mouse eyes and asked back, “I didn’t hit it, so where did the pheasant’s injury come from? If it wasn’t for the pheasant’s injury, could you catch it with your clumsy appearance? It’s always been whoever hits the pheasant. I hurt this pheasant, so it’s my own!”

“Wait! You said you hurt the pheasant? What did you hurt it with?” Gu Ye suddenly asked a question.

Aunt Wu was caught off guard, and hesitantly said: “I… I wounded it with a stick… Yes! I broke the pheasant’s wings with the stick in my hand, and it couldn’t fly!”

Gu Ye showed slyness He smiled and said: “If it was hit with a stick, the wound should be strip-shaped, but the pheasant in my brother’s hand, the wound on its wings, is round!”

“Ah? Ah – I remembered it wrong, I smashed it with a stone, that’s right! I smashed it with a stone!!” Aunt Wu immediately changed her tone, staring at Gu Ye fiercely with a pair of mouse eyes. This stinky girl usually doesn’t dare to look at people, why has she changed her sex today?

Gu Ming took a step forward, blocking Aunt Wu’s vicious sight, and snorted coldly: “Okay, then what kind of stone did you use to smash it, where did you smash it, what shape did the stone look like? How big…”

“This…” Aunt Wu faced Gu Ming’s endless questions, and she didn’t know how to deal with it   . She suddenly became stern and unreasonable. Shameless, invincible in the world. This mother-in-law actually started to grab it! Li Hao and Jiu Shu’s big pair and Xiaoshuang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. Li Xiuniang ran towards the distance, shouting as she ran, “Grandpa, Daddy, Brew! Aunt Wu robbed us—”

Aunt Wu had been warned by the village chief when she didn’t return the things she borrowed last time. If it was confirmed that she robbed the children, the old man didn’t know what to do with them.

She was in charge of treating dead people outside the mountain, so she had to hide in this mountain valley. If they were kicked out, they didn’t know where they could go, or would they be caught by the reporter… Thinking of this, Aunt Wu spat unwillingly, and walked away with the medicine basket.

“Fighting” the evil mother-in-law, and the little friends burst into cheers in unison. Gu Ye suggested: “Sister Li, bring a crock pot and salt from home, let’s have an outdoor picnic?” The

youngest Gu Xiaoshuang’s eyes lit up, and Li Xiuniang swallowed. Aunt Ying shook her head and said, “Little Leaf, your body is weak and needs to be taken care of. Bring this pheasant home, and stewing soup will make the most of your body.”

Sister Li and Li Hao also nodded vigorously in agreement.

“Sister Li, other people don’t know about my family’s situation, so how can you not know? Do you think my brother and I can eat a few bites if we take it home? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for their mother and son?”

Gu Ye was abused. There is almost nothing in the village that is not known. Hearing this, the little friends didn’t say anything anymore. Besides, for mountain children who eat less than a few times a year, a bowl of chicken soup is really a great temptation for them.

A few friends got together and bit their ears, unanimously thinking that they couldn’t eat the chicken soup of the Gu Ming brothers and sisters for nothing. So, they ran home, some took two sweet potatoes, some scooped up half a bowl of white noodles, and some put an egg… When Sister Li brought their pot of soup, there was already a pile of them on the ground. Small pile of food.

When Aunt Ying was cleaning up the pheasants, the little friends were called by Gu Ye to pick up mushrooms. She then dug up the origin of the wild vegetables, and picked Angelica and Codonopsis, the size of a finger, from the space. How can stewed chicken soup be without these body-boosting herbs?

Soon, a pot of fragrant pheasant and mushroom soup came out of the pot. Aunt Ying tore a big chicken leg for Gu Ming and Gu Ye, and the rest of the chicken was divided up by the friends. The mellow and delicious chicken soup is so fresh that one almost swallows the tongue.

After the chicken and mushrooms were eaten, the soup was mixed with gnocchi, beaten an egg, and put in the wild vegetables that everyone picked up. The roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug out of the wood ashes. The eight children ate all over! Even during the Chinese New Year, I have never eaten so much.
