And when it came to Houtang, Chunyu discovered that it was indeed a good place.
It turns out that there is not only a small pond here, but also rows of mulberry trees over there.
It is already mid-November, and the leaves of the mulberry trees are gradually turning from green to yellow.
The mulberry trees are not very tall, and a person standing under the tree can easily pick off a few leaves.
People here have always made a living by raising silkworms and weaving silk, so every household has to plant a few mulberry trees in their yard.
Because this is where Hunan Tingzhou is, mulberry trees also grow densely. .
In addition, the temperature in the south is suitable, so the breeding of spring silkworms, summer silkworms, and autumn silkworms has been divided into three batches, creating a lot of income for the people here.
Because the Liu family has their own affairs, they have no time to engage in the delicate work of raising silkworms.
Only in March when the mulberry leaves start to turn green, the two children Xiaoyuan and Xiaoluo will raise some, but it is very few.
Then after the silk is spun, it is not processed, but sold directly to a local small workshop in exchange for some money.
After Xiaoyuan and Xiaoluo greeted Chunyu, they ran to the pond with their children.
When Chunyu saw the children playing, he himself was not idle either.
When she went out, she seemed to have taken a chance, and she also had a small basket in her hand.
She also came here to kill her boredom.
The wet ground beside the pond was a bit slippery, but she didn't dare to get close to it even though she was pregnant.
She could only watch it from a distance, but she was still bored.
Now I suddenly remembered that the mulberry leaves in autumn are of great use, so I stood under the low mulberry trees where the leaves could be reached by hand and picked the leaves.
Focus on picking those leaves that have turned yellow.
There has also been a frost at this time.
She had read in a book before that it was said that the mulberry leaves were harvested after the frost, and then the twigs and impurities were removed from the mulberry leaves, dried in the sun, then crushed, and the stems were removed and the crumbs were removed.
Finally, add the cooked honey together, add some boiling water, mix well, simmer for a while, put it in a pot and stir-fry over low heat until it is no longer sticky to your hands, take it out and let it cool.
In this way, the honey mulberry leaves are made and placed in a cool place.
In the future, when some minor illnesses such as wind-heat and cold, fever and headache, cough and chest pain, dry lung, dry cough without phlegm, dry throat and thirst, etc. begin, you only need to Drink some honey mulberry leaves and soak them in boiled water to cure the disease.
When Chunyu was picking mulberry leaves, she was washing clothes on the dock under the arch bridge behind her.
There were three or four of them.
They were washing clothes while talking and laughing, but later someone saw Chunyu picking mulberry leaves.
Feeling very strange, one of the women smiled, raised her voice, and asked Chunyu above: "Sister, you are the little lady who rents at Liu's house."
When Chunyu heard someone asking, she knew she was being asked.
When she looked back, she saw several women in laundry at the dock below, so she said, "Yes, sister, you are doing laundry."
"Yes, it will be washed soon.
Sister, there are no autumn silkworms now.
Why are you picking the mulberry leaves from the old stem?"
The woman who just asked the question asked again.
Chunyu smiled after hearing this and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told them how to make honey mulberry leaves.
The women who told him were amazed and amazed.
Which poor family doesn't have headaches, fever, and colds from time to time?
But if it's not serious, they just get over it on their own.
Otherwise, they would hire a doctor to see a doctor, and the medication would cost tens of dollars at least.
There are even more than a hundred texts.
They work hard to make money to support their families every year, and when the new year comes, they barely manage to celebrate the new year, and they have to spend all the money they earn.
How can they not care about the one hundred yuan, but they care about it very much.
Seeing that Chunyu didn't even hesitate, he told them such a good secret recipe, so they all happily packed up their clothes and went ashore.
In fact, they had just washed themselves and just had some free time to chat.
Now after hearing what Chun Yu said about the mulberry leaves everywhere actually having this effect, he was naturally so happy that he rushed over to ask for advice.
Chunyu was patient and explained the method to them in detail.

It was just a matter of buying some honey, so it wasn't too troublesome.
While talking, Chunyu had already picked a basket of mulberry leaves, and the women also picked a lot.
At this time, Xiaoyuan and Xiaoluo also caught a few fish.
After the friends divided the fish evenly, they came to find Chunyu and prepared to go home.
Chunyu took a look at the small wooden bucket carried by the two people, and saw that there were really many battle results in it.
There were two larger carps in a bucket.
Chunyu didn't recognize the other smaller ones.
Xiaoyuan told her they were: king thorn fish, pointed fish, giant catfish, stick fish and wheat ear fish.
Chunyu couldn't help hearing them.
Never heard of it.
In the other small bucket, there were a lot of shrimps and snails that were quite large.
"Oh, Xiaoluo, what are you doing with so many vise grippers, if you don't want to eat your fish."
At this time, a woman on the side said.
"Aunt Qiuxia, we want to see them fight.
There is no fish in this bucket, so they can't eat it."
Xiao Luo said with a smile.
"What is a vise?"
Chunyu didn't quite understand.
"That's it."
Xiao Luo put a wooden stick into the bucket as if he was offering a treasure, and immediately a shrimp clamped the stick with pliers, and Chun Yu's eyes lit up.
There was too much water in the bucket just now and there were snails.
Chunyu didn't see clearly and thought they were just ordinary, larger shrimps.
Now it seems that there is no vise, these are real crayfish.
Chunyu loves crayfish the most, but when she came here she had eaten ordinary shrimps, but she missed the meaty and delicious crayfish even more.
Now I didn't expect to see such delicious food here.
However, it is said that pregnant women should not eat too much, such as braised crayfish and fried crayfish, but there is no problem in steaming the prepared crayfish.
Thinking of this, Chunyu was very excited.
But she kept a calm face.
After all, she couldn't tell others anything.
There were also many people who were allergic to lobster.
If someone didn't handle it properly and got food poisoning, it wouldn't be hers.
We can't let her talk about how to do it one by one.
How is that possible?
Fortunately, these women needed to go home to prepare for lunch, so they didn't stay any longer.
They said goodbye to Chunyu and went home.
After they left, Chunyu asked with a smile: "Tell aunt, are there many little dragons and vise in the pond?"
"There are so many.
Sometimes we are afraid that it will eat all the fish, so we fish them out and throw them away."
Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"It's a pity, but it's okay.
Auntie will tell you a secret, but except for your mother and sister-in-law, no one else who is not from our family can tell it."
Chunyu said pretending to be mysterious, which indeed aroused the attention of the two children.
Out of curiosity, they quickly moved towards Chunyu, and then Chunyu told them that the vise was actually called crayfish.
It was used to make delicious food in her hometown, and it was also very delicious.
The two children believed Chun Yu's words and were so happy that they hurriedly pulled Chun Yu to the pond.

When they got there, Chunyu thought they were going to continue salvaging, so he didn't go any closer for fear of any danger.
As a result, she saw them going directly to the mulberry tree by the pond.
When she went over to take a look, she couldn't help but be shocked.
It turned out that there was a big pit there, and a lot of crayfish were thrown into it.
It seemed that they had accidentally caught the fish when they were fishing.
Instead of throwing them back into the pond, they threw them directly into the pit beside them.
Chunyu was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly asked them to pack up all the crayfish, but to his surprise, there was nothing left.
Finally, Xiaoluo went to the restaurant and picked up a big basket of discarded vegetable leaves, and took it to the pond to wash it.
After washing, I picked up the crayfish with two wooden sticks and put them all into the basket.
Then Xiao Luo carried two small buckets, while Chun Yu and Xiao Yuan used sticks to lift the baskets, and happily returned to Liu's house.
To be continued.
