Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 303
The next day, Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun went to the second uncle's for a while, and then went home. Uncle Ji, Shen, and Uncle Shen were starting to build the stove. There were many processes to be done, and Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun couldn't help, so they went Go home to discuss what kind of raw materials to make wine with.

Ji Xun didn't know anything about wine making, but Shen Yu'an grew up in the countryside and knew it. Food and fruits can be used to make wine. The main thing is how to make a good wine like Moutai. Even if it is successful, you still have to try it slowly, don't worry Come.

After discussing wine making for a while, Shen Yuan went to pick some young leaves to feed the rabbits, and Ji Xun took the horse to graze.

After Shen Yuan fed the rabbits, he saw that the snails in the pots had vomited a lot of mud, so he quickly brought two buckets of water to wash them. After washing the spit out sand, he ran to pick a handful of mugwort leaves, crushed them and threw them into the pots. inside.

In the afternoon, I changed the water for the snails twice. By this time tomorrow, the silt should be vomited clean, and I can make stir-fried snails to eat.

This day, after doing such trivial things, passed in the blink of an eye.

On the third day, Shen Yuan went to the wellhead to wash clothes as usual, this time it was weird, when she came, everyone didn't raise their heads, and each of them listened nervously to an old lady.

"Last night when I was about to go to bed, my cow ran away from the cowshed. My man was not at home, so I went looking for him with a torch."

The aunt who spoke lived in the southeast corner of the village, only a few vegetable fields away from the abandoned royal house, and her eyes were full of horror.

"When I walked outside the Wang's house, I suddenly saw a shadow floating at the corner gate of the Wang's house. Her hair was disheveled and I couldn't see her face clearly, but I felt that her legs were not touching the ground, and she was floating. I took a closer look. Suddenly disappeared."

After the aunt finished speaking, the other aunt also answered with lingering fear, "I saw it too. Last night when I came out to wash my feet, I vaguely saw a white ghost floating in the cemetery across the road."

The more everyone talked, the more evil they became, and everyone looked awe-inspiring.

Since the Wang family played those two things, it has become a haunted house completely, and no one dares to give it to others.

With the passage of time, it was completely deserted. The outside of the house was luxuriant with wild grass, and the inside was dark and gloomy, and everyone who passed by took a detour.

After hearing the words of these two people this time, everyone was full of panic.

"Why don't we raise some money in the village and invite a Taoist priest to drive away ghosts?" Someone suggested.

"I think it's better to forget it, ghost, how can ordinary Taoist priests have this ability."

"There is a Taoist temple over there at my natal home. I heard that the Taoist priest is very capable. I have something to go back to my natal home later. Do you want to ask?"

"Ask, of course you have to ask." The aunt who was looking for a cow to see the devil was obviously frightened, "I will pay half of the money, and everyone else should have no objections?!
All the women present nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Shen Yu'an was there, someone asked her: "Miss Ji Chen, do you have a share of the money?"
"Forget it." Shen Yu'an replied quite simply, "Tell me how much it cost when the time comes, and I'll pay for it." She doesn't believe in ghosts, but can she not agree? She will have to live in Ji Shen's Village in the future.

Seeing that Shen Yu'an agreed, the others finalized the matter
Shen Yuan also smiled, lamenting that the country people are both timid and exaggerated, and there is a shadow in their hearts that makes the grass and trees turn into soldiers. The spread is so evil, and it is useless to send money to the Taoist priests.

After washing the clothes and returning home, I rubbed and washed the snail again, threw some mugwort leaves and a little salt into it, and induced vomiting.

Ji Xun was watering the flower garden there, and Shen Yuan was squatting by the tub and talking to him, "Ah Xun, I'll make stir-fried snails for you this afternoon, it's delicious."

"Okay." Ji Xun replied, what excuse did he want to find to eat less?
"Then I'll go and pick some perilla." Shen Yuan said as he left the yard, that day Fangma saw a large perilla growing outside the old Wang's house, so he went there.

In the distance, the house was submerged in withered grass taller than a person. The walls of the courtyard were covered with moss and covered with creepers. No one took care of it and it was abandoned. Occasionally, a weasel sprang out of it, which was amazing. one jump.

In a piece of withered grass, a lot of perilla grew, and the tender red leaves exuded a peculiar fragrance.

No one here eats perilla, let alone grow it. It’s so rare to come across such a piece. When the time comes, we must save some seeds, so that we can produce some new dishes for the restaurant.

When Shen Yuan picked the basil and was about to leave here, he suddenly heard a "squeak", as if it came from an abandoned old house. The sound was not loud, but Shen Yuan felt that his ears could not make mistakes, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Listen, but there is no more movement.

In broad daylight, ghosts can't come out, so guess what door in the house is not closed, blown by the wind.

Shen Yuan shrugged, and went back with the perilla leaves.

After lunch, Shen Yuan was ready to make snails. It’s not that the people here say they don’t eat snails, but the countryside is poor, and they don’t want to put oil, and they don’t have any cooking materials, so it’s not delicious when cooked, thick The earthy smell, gradually fewer people eat it.

Today, Shen Yuan is going to make more, and give a bowl to the patriarch and several uncles, so that they can taste what kind of delicacy it is.

Wash and remove the tail of the escargot, mix the chili and spices, heat the oil in a pan, add star anise pepper and dried chili to fry until fragrant, then add the snail and stir-fry until the stir-fry is almost done, add soy sauce, pour a little rice wine, and add spring water in the space Stew, when the water is almost dry, add perilla leaves, stir-fry twice to collect the juice, and a delicious stir-fried escargot will come out of the pan.

I kept a bowl at home, and divided the rest into four portions and put them in a food box, and took them to the side of Shauguping.

The old men who were playing chess stopped playing chess when they smelled the smell, and immediately put away the chessboard properly, took out a bowl of snails from the food box and started to incite.

"This~~ Girl Ji Chen, you really have nothing to say about your craftsmanship, no wonder the restaurant is open." The patriarch even instigated the snail meat and soup together.

The second uncle also smacked his mouth and praised: "This snail is boiled without any earthy smell, and even the soup is delicious, tsk tsk, girl Ji Chen is amazing."

The other two uncles didn't talk as much as they did, and they kept giving thumbs up while eating.

After sending the snails home, Shen Yuan found that the bowl of snails left by her family was missing a small half, hehe, Ji Xun must have eaten it.

Ji Xun just wanted to taste one, but after eating one, he couldn't stop. As soon as Shen Yuan came home, he was giggling.

"Come on, lady, dinner is ready." As he said that, he had already attacked the snails.

The next day, at the mouth of the well, Shen Yuan heard more people saying that they had seen ghosts, some were in the cemetery, some were in the Wang's house, causing panic.

Shen Yuan told Ji Xun these remarks, and asked him: "Ah Xun, do you believe that there are really ghosts?"

Shen Yuan is a doctor in modern times, and has seen all kinds of "human bodies". He is a materialist, and he does not believe it logically.

But it is unavoidable to have doubts, her soul can travel here from modern times, maybe there is a ghost?
"I don't believe it." Ji Xun shook his head. He had seen a lot of corpses on the battlefield, but he had never seen a ghost.

"Then let's go to the royal residence tonight? How about finding out the truth?"
