I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 114

Li Xiuju walked into the house. Baoyu wanted to chase after him, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Sister, why did you stop Qian Rushan just now? It would be better for people like him to die!"

Zhou Chenyu saw that he was filled with indignation and foolishness, so he grabbed his clothes and wiped the blood that was not clean, "Are you stupid? Does he really want to die? I think it is most likely a trick."

"Bitter flesh tactic?" Baoyu frowned, "Sister, how did you know it was a bitter flesh tactic?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chenyu was almost deceived by Qian Rushan's crocodile tears just now. He really thought that he was beaten up by his father and changed his past, but when he was about to stab his stomach with a knife, he raised his eyes to observe them. One glance.

It was that furtive glance that gave her a feeling of déjà vu.

Isn't this exactly the same as her trick of using bitter meat?

Zhou Chenyu said lightly and his intuition fooled Baoyu, then he started to wonder, "But what I don't understand is, why did Qian Rushan suddenly come to redeem himself when he was in good condition? What do you think he is doing behind the scenes?"

Baoyu curled her lips coldly, "What kind of medicine can that bastard sell in his gourd? He must be trying to use this trick to trick us into letting down our guard first, and then catch them all when we are not prepared."

"We are not evenly matched. It would be easy for him to make things difficult for us. There is no need to go to such trouble." Zhou Chenyu frowned and thought deeply, remembering what some talkative women who were watching the fun said.

Did he really fall in love with her?
Zhou Chenyu shuddered, she must have been overthinking, she didn't like this kind of rotten love. If someone like Qian Rushan got tired of playing with her one day, the person he liked would die in minutes.

The two siblings were unloading the prey on the cart. Li Xiuju came out with well water, poured a ladle of water on the blood, rinsed it away, and cursed:
"He will atone for his sins, but how can he threaten his life? If he really died in front of our house, we would not be able to live well in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I think he did not sincerely atone for his sins, but it was because of his father's majesty. That’s all.”

What is the purpose of Qian Rushan's atonement?

Zhou Chenyu really couldn't understand it, but she wasn't afraid at all. She had never been afraid before, and now that she had a big tree to lean on, she was even less afraid.

Zhou Chenyu smiled faintly, not wanting Qian Rushan to sweep away the joy of returning home with a full load. He took the water ladle in Li Xiuju's hand and said: "Old lady, Baoyu and I traveled all day, and we ate two rice balls on the way. I was already hungry. Yes. And I haven’t eaten anything good since I’ve been in the mountains for so long. I’m just waiting to eat the food you cooked when I get home this time.”

"Yes, yes!" Baoyu stopped the unloading truck and looked over with interest, "Mom, forget about the mountain of money, what are we going to eat tonight?"

Li Xiuju was not a grumpy person. She only talked and cursed because she was so frightened by Qian Rushan. She even forgot that Shen Yu and Baoyu had been staying on the mountain for several days and finally came down to reunite with their family. They should have cooked a delicious meal to catch the wind. Dust off.

Li Xiuju calmed down her anger, took down the things hanging on the dustpan, and smiled at them: "These are the wild loquats that my mother dug in the mountains with Hongmei. Hongmei said that her mother's family often digs these loquats for soup, meat or bones." Together, the soup is filled with a strong fragrance. I haven't eaten these wild loquats since I picked them up, so I will boil them once tonight to try the taste."

After that, Li Xiuju happily walked into the yard and started working on tonight's dinner.

Wild loquat?
The loquat in Zhou Chenyu's impression should be a round ball of flesh, but why is it a bunch of yellow roots?
Anything dug up in the mountains isn't poisonous, right?

Zhou Chenyu was worried and went over to take a look. When he got closer, he smelled a strong fragrance of coconut. He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Isn't this the five-fingered peach root commonly used for making soup?"

This is great for making soup.

She has only bought it in the market for tens of yuan per catty. She heard that the five-fingered peach roots circulating in the market are often treated with sulfur to make them look better, so they tend to go sour easily.

The pure wild five-finger peach does not look good, but its taste is extremely rich.Zhou Chenyu didn't believe that at first, but just took one and smelled it. The pure wild one indeed tasted more natural and pure.

Are there such good things on Zhoujiacun Mountain?
Zhou Chenyu raised his lips, as if he had discovered a new business opportunity. Could he make a soup list and explore the soup market in Qingshui Town?
"It's not impossible."

Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu took everything off the cart together, leaving only some dried fish. The rest of the pheasants, rabbits, and deer planned to be sold on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The chicken coop at home was already full of domestic chickens and ducks, so we had to find an empty utility room in the yard to lock them up.

After settling the prey, Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu took turns to take a nice bath. When she came out, Baoyu squatted in front of the stove and ate the roasted sweet potatoes. "Sister, you came out at the wrong time. If you had come out earlier, , maybe I can even eat one.”

Zhou Chenyu looked at the peeled sweet potato in his hand. He could still smell the aroma of roasted sweet potato from two meters away, "Why don't you save some good stuff for me?"

She rushed over and wanted to take a few bites.

Baoyu deliberately shook it in front of her, then took a bite and made a satisfied sound.

"You kid really doesn't stop for a moment." Li Xiuju took some time out of her busy schedule, poked Baoyu's forehead, and waved to Zhou Chenyu, "Don't listen to his nonsense, mother left one for you."

Zhou Chenyu glared at him and happily picked up the sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes are roasted directly over charcoal fire, and the skin is completely charred, but peeling off the black charcoal skin reveals a reddish, translucent and steaming sweet potato that tastes even more fragrant.

Zhou Chenyu cooled it down a bit and took a bite. Although it was still a little hot, it tasted sweet and glutinous, with some honey seeping into the gaps between his teeth. It was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating it.

The fist-sized sweet potatoes were eaten by the siblings in just a few bites, and they wanted to eat more.

Li Xiuju stopped the two of them from thinking and ordered: "Only one sweet potato is enough for each person. How many dishes will my mother cook tonight? You will have to eat more bowls of rice."

Hongmei, who was passing by the window, heard this, looked in, and said with a smile: "Auntie, if you are cooking so many dishes tonight, Chen Yu and Bao Yu must be back, right?"

"Isn't that right? They came back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and our family reunited." Li Xiuju scooped out the cooked wild loquat lean meat soup and couldn't wait to share it, "Hongmei, the wild loquat you took me to dig, I will cook it tonight I don’t know if the taste is different from yours?"

The recommended item was liked by others, and Hongmei was happy and replied: "Mom, your cooking skills are very good, of course it's no problem."

"The mouths of you young people are sweeter than the other. This old lady like me is almost confused by your coaxing." Li Xiuju scooped out the soup and carried it outside the house.

After seeing Li Xiuju leave, Hongmei stopped smiling, became serious and said secretly, "Chen Yu, Baoyu, it's only when you and your brother come home that my aunt is willing to eat a few meals of meat. You don't know, these days when you are away, Every day, she always eats some vegetables and rice porridge. At such a young age, she only saves money, but she really doesn’t feel sorry for herself at all. You have to talk about her."

"Really?" Zhou Chenyu glanced outside, and Baoyu said helplessly: "That's how my mother is, she saves everything."
