peasant girl allure

Chapter 7

After the four of them packed their things, they chose a road that few people usually go down the mountain, hoping to get some useful things when they go down the mountain.Not to mention, the road that no one walks is difficult, but it is rich in resources. On the road, I met two hares. Of course, it was Xiaoer who picked up a small stone and threw it at it. The three boys were really dumbfounded when they went up the mountain. He was dumbfounded again.The hit rate of this smashing is too high, how can you let others aim at it!
Later, they met a pheasant again, and the three of them said nothing without Xiao'er's hands, so the fierce battle of the flying chicken and the flying man began: blocking, jumping, smashing, and covering it with a basket. Pheasant get it done.After taking down the pheasant, the three of them sat down to take a breather, feeling that they were really more angry than others.

Xiao'er walked around while they were catching pheasants, and found a wild rabbit nest. Following the method taught by the white swan, she successfully used the space water to collect a nest of wild rabbits and found a nest of wild eggs.

"We are so lucky today. I have never caught so many pheasants before going up the mountain." Jing Rui couldn't help showing a sincere smile when he thought of making chicken soup for his mother.

"Today's pheasant is very stupid." Xiao'er deliberately said stupid things in order to cover up her hit rate.What I got was the rolling eyes of the three boys.

The four of them went down the mountain talking and laughing, and stopped by a small stream at the foot of the mountain, and began to count their prey.

Shen Zixuan really climbed the tree, dug out five bird eggs, and found two sugar cane, which had already been chopped off with a sickle.

Shen Jingrui found wild walnuts and picked two catties of small ones, a small bag of yellow pickled fruits, and Shen Jinghao picked more than ten kiwifruits.Xiao'er has a small basket of chestnuts and yams.There are four pheasants and two rabbits left.

The four of them were hungry all the way, so they lit a fire by the stream and roasted two yams, some bird eggs and wild eggs.While waiting for these things to ripen, they chatted while eating sugar cane, kiwi fruit and yellow pickled fruit.

The breeze blows gently, and the autumn sky is high, deep, cloudless, and looks so clear and blue.Occasionally, groups of migratory birds can be seen flying under the blue sky.The fields in the distance are like a golden ocean, under the gentle caress of the breeze, there are waves of waves.Xiao'er ate sweet sugar cane, looked at the beautiful scenery, and thought of a sentence she often saw in her previous life: "The present world is stable, and the years are quiet and good."

"The present world is stable, and the years are quiet. That's really good, Xiao'er, where did you hear that?" Shen Zixuan looked at Shen Xiaoer curiously, wondering if it was an illusion, and suddenly felt that Xiao'er and Xiaoer who met this time It was different in the past. Although he was clever in the past, he was not as confident and intelligent.

Xiao'er didn't expect that she would say what was in her heart, and felt helpless. This is the rhythm of lying again: "I overheard someone say it in the town, and I felt very yearning, so I remembered it."

Shen Zixuan didn't say anything more, quietly looking at the scenery in front of him, thinking about something.

After a while, the yam and the eggs were cooked, and they shared them among them. There was one bird egg and one egg left, and Xiaoer decided to take them home for Mrs. Liu to eat.After eating, Xiao'er divided the food into two parts, the same half, and put a basket in each.Handed one of the baskets to Shen Zixuan: "Brother Zixuan, the contents in this basket belong to you, you take it back first, and we will go to your house to get the basket some other day."

Shen Zixuan didn't want it, most of these things were obtained by Xiao'er and the three of them, and he didn't make any effort, even if he got it by himself, he would let them take it back, let alone not.

"Brother Zixuan don't want it, then I won't play with you next time." Xiao'er could only use the trump card of a child's coquettishness: what are you doing, I won't play with you next time.

Shen Zixuan knew something about their family. The members of the third household of the Shen family were honest and kind, and they all did a lot of work, but they couldn't even eat enough at home, and each of them was getting paler and thinner than the other.Then go and see the other big and second room people, that one doesn't have a greasy face.But because the three children looked like they would break up if you don’t want to, knowing it was their good intentions, they thought about it and made a compromise: "I can take the things, but you have to come to my house for dinner tomorrow." In fact, take the things back to their own At home, it is estimated that there are not many people who can get into their mouths. When you go to your own home, just give them a few more pieces of meat.

The three of them did not refuse and agreed, but they failed to go on the second day.

The three returned to Shen's house, but there was no one in the yard at this time, and the three returned to the West Wing with their baskets on their backs.Mrs. Liu just finished feeding her little sister, patted her on the back for a while, and let her fall asleep by herself.Seeing that the three brothers and sisters had returned, she hurriedly asked them to wash their hands and face.Jing Rui put down the backpack: "Mom, today we ran into Brother Zixuan at the foot of the mountain. He took us to a place we hadn't been to before, and the harvest was very rich."

"Yes, mother, today we killed four pheasants, two rabbits, chestnuts, yams, bird eggs, wild eggs, hickory nuts, and wild fruits. We also ate sugar cane." Jing Hao nodded his little finger Counting today's harvest in the same way.

"There are so many things, are you here in the deep mountains?" Hearing this, Liu was more worried than happy. Normally, the child's father would not be able to get so many things at once when he went to the mountains.

"No, we're just on the outskirts, and because brother Zixuan is carrying it, we walked a little further than usual. Mother, don't worry, we won't go to the deep mountains in private." Jing Rui hastily made a promise.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was relieved. Her children knew that they were the most honest and would not lie to themselves.

"Mother, kill the chicken later, make some chicken soup for you to drink, drink more soup, my sister will have enough milk." Xiao'er glanced at the little girl who was sleeping soundly. The little girl's skin was a little yellow, hoping Just physiological jaundice.But just in case, I have to drink more space water for Mrs. Liu, and then breastfeed my little sister.

"We also picked up wild eggs and bird eggs, and they are cooked, and mother will eat them for you." Jing Hao took out a wild egg and a bird egg and handed them to Mrs. Liu.

"You guys share the food, mother is not hungry." Mrs. Liu is really not as hungry as usual today, and she has more milk. The younger sister is full and hasn't had any troubles all morning.

"Each of us has eaten it, and we also ate roasted yam. This is mother. Eat it, mother. If you are not hungry, my little sister will be hungry too." Jing Rui also learned to use the little girl to talk about things.

The three children took turns persuading, but Mrs. Liu couldn't break up with the three of them, so she ate a bird's egg and left the egg for Shen Chengyao.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one in the yard and everyone is probably taking a nap, Xiaoer decides to kill the two chickens first.Boil the chicken soup for Mrs. Liu to drink, and I don't have to eat lunch, how can I bear it.

In her previous life, when Xiao'er was adventuring in the wild with her cousin, she also did the job of killing chickens.Survival skills in the wild are also one of the must-learn skills for the children of the Shen family in the previous life.

The three put the rabbit in the cage, and then took the chicken to the kitchen. Jing Hao was young, so he was responsible for boiling the water. After the water was boiled, he was responsible for turning on the fire and cooking the chestnuts.Jingrui and Xiao'er worked together to kill both chickens and bled them.

"Xiao'er, why don't you keep a chicken and kill it tomorrow, then mother can drink an extra bowl of chicken soup tomorrow."

Xiao'er carefully scalded the feathers of the two chickens with boiling water, then took it out, and gave one to Jingrui to pluck the feathers: "Tonight, the uncle and his family are coming back from town, one chicken is probably the mother It’s fine if you can eat a piece of breast meat, but if you kill both of them and give one to everyone tonight, and leave the other for your mother, that would be even better.”

"But if two are killed, mother won't eat one." Jing Rui said in a low voice, he knew the roommate too well, and he also knew his parents.

"Don't worry, I will let my mother eat it. Let's act quickly now, boil out the soup quickly, and serve it to my mother."

Hearing this, Jing Rui immediately sped up his movements.The two plucked the chicken, opened it, took out the internal organs, and cleaned it.Xiao'er immediately chopped up two chickens and took them to the kitchen to make soup.The rest of the internal organs were left for Jing Rui to clean.

Xiao'er boiled the chicken soup that everyone drank slowly in a clay pot, while Liu's drank was fried in an iron pot, cut a lot of shredded ginger into it, and then boiled directly with space water. Leftovers from the soup plate.In fact, if the soup is boiled for too long, it may not be really good. There will be a lot of purines in it, which is not good for the body, so the Tang Xiaoer that Liu drank is not too thick, and this kind of chicken soup is also done in modern times for confinement. people drink.
