pastoral fragrance

Chapter 184
Qiu Lin looked at Xia Yan with a smile, as if meeting a bosom friend. "Brother Xia Yan, I think there is nothing wrong with a farm. You can grow your own vegetables, raise chickens and ducks, and when the chickens and ducks grow older, you can pick up eggs and duck eggs every day. You can also go to the fields to tend the crops and watch them Grow thrivingly. In your free time, you can go to Louyu, you can go to the forest to pick mushrooms. When the mulberries are ripe, you can pick mulberries, and there are walnuts and loquats in the forest... Don’t you think it’s interesting to live in our Luoshui Village?" Qiu Lin Ru counted all the treasures, and at this moment she realized that she had long regarded herself as a member of Luoshui Village, and had fallen in love with this land full of rural flavor long ago.

Xia Yan saw Qiu Lin laughing so hard that the branches trembled, he also laughed, "Hehe, it's quite interesting." If it wasn't for this land, how could he have met her!

"Brother Xia Yan, we often go wandering in the woods, to Louyu by the river, do you want to go with us?" Brother Xia Yan is bored at home by himself, so he goes for a walk in the woods with them occasionally Walking along the river is also good.

Xia Yan couldn't wish for it, "Okay, what you said is so interesting, I want to see it a long time ago." Xia Yan agreed with all his mouth.

Qiu Lin became happy, dragged Xia Yan's arm and said: "Okay, then when we go to the forest again, I will call you! Brother Xia Yan, let's go to our house for dinner today, everyone caught a dog. Pheasant, my mother is stewing it at home!"

Xia Yan caught a glimpse of Qiulin's small hands holding his arm from the corner of his eye, and thought it was very useful.This girl probably didn't realize that there was a bit of coquettishness hidden in her soft tone.Xia Yan nodded his head twice, and replied: "Okay!" Then he added, "Since it's stewed pheasant, I'll take some supplements from the room and stew it in the soup. It will definitely taste better."

After speaking, he turned and walked into the house.Seeing Xia Yan went to fetch supplements, Qiu Lin looked at the yard.The yard is not too big, but the ground survey is very flat, and it is all paved with bluestone slabs.There are several shelves in the yard, and on the shelves are large baskets, which contain some Chinese herbal medicines that are [-]% to [-]% dry.Qiulin looked along, but only knew two kinds.Smelling carefully, there is a faint herbal fragrance in the yard.Qiulin thought it smelled good, so she couldn't help but smell it a few more times.

At this time Xia Yan had already come out with a cloth bag, put the cloth bag into the empty basket Qiu Lin was carrying, and the two walked side by side towards the courtyard of Qiu Lin's house.

It was dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun slanted across the earth, as if it was about to emit the last ray of light and heat before falling to the ground.Walking on the bluestone road, there is a cool breeze blowing from the river combing the hair on the forehead.Lavender wildflowers bloom on the road, posing delicately in the breeze.Qiulin thought it was pretty, so she couldn't help but reach out and pick one off.

Xia Yan saw the soft smile on Qiu Lin's face, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, revealing a comfortable smile.

The two of them were not in a hurry, and when they arrived at Qiulin's house, the sun had already set in the ground, and there was still a ray of light on the distant mountain where the sun set, and the red glow dyed half of the sky.

As soon as Qiulin entered the yard, he was suddenly pulled by Qiuhe. Before Qiulin could recover, Qiuhe said excitedly and joyfully; "Little sister, look quickly, this is the long Brother Shan taught me how to make a bow and arrow! This thing is so powerful, you see, I shot down the wild goose that Second Brother is killing!"

Qiulin looked along where Qiuhe pointed, and saw his second brother Qiusong sitting in the yard, patting the wild goose's feathers.She turned her head again to take a closer look at what Qiu He was holding in her hand, her eyes jumped suddenly.I saw that the thicker piece of bamboo was bent into an arc by the heat, and the arrowhead of the bamboo arrow on the bow was pointed, and it was stained with unwashed blood.This thing can really shoot birds, it's really capable! "Not bad, not bad," Qiu Lin laughed. The power of this thing may not be as powerful as those bows and arrows specially used by hunters, but it is more powerful than the slingshot used by Qiu He to hunt birds before, right?This Xu Changshan is very good at thinking.

When entering the kitchen, there was a strong aroma of stewed chicken and mushrooms. Qiulin walked over and uncovered it. The inside was boiling very much, but the quality and taste had not yet boiled out. Supplements can also be thrown in.

Qiulin quickly took out some supplements from the cloth bag, including sand ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, ginkgo fruit, lotus seeds, red dates, wolfberry, barley and so on.Qiulin grabbed three handfuls of water and washed them, then threw them into the pot and boiled them.

"Brother Xia Yan brought these, they are for strengthening the body!" Seeing that everyone was looking at her suspiciously, Qiu Lin explained to everyone.These things are indeed nourishing, and even now, people don’t put these things in chicken soup.

Only then did everyone understand, and thought that what Qiulin had thrown into the pot was something.

There were enough people in the kitchen, so Qiulin didn't fight with them anymore.When he came out of the kitchen, he happened to see his father and brother Xia Yan sitting in the main room, talking one after another.Qiu Lin smiled and pulled Xia Yan, "Come on, brother Xia Yan, go and have a look at the silkworms we feed. It won't be long before they can spin silk!" The silkworms are managed by mother and father. She didn't feed the Can'er much this year.

Xia Yan was accompanying Father Xu, and he was a little embarrassed to be dragged by Qiulin like this.

Xu Nanshan smoked a dry cigarette, and said cheerfully: "My daughter is always in a hurry like this, and we are all used to it, Doctor Xia, don't mind."

Xia Yan hurriedly said: "Who cares, Qiu Lin is still young, she is lively and straightforward, that's why people like her."

Qiu Lin was utterly ashamed by Xia Yan's words. Speaking of which, she is older than Xia Yan, but now I don't know whether she is doing as the Romans do or something. The age of this body is only eight years old, and it can still be cute.If it was bigger, others would think she was pretending to be tender!
Qiulin suddenly lamented the benefits that this eight-year-old age brought her.

"Let's go, those silkworms are so cute, these little things can't see their mouths, but they eat mulberry leaves without hesitation, and the speed is very fast!" At first Qiulin felt that the silkworms were full of flesh. Beep, it still feels a little numb in the back, but now I'm used to it, and this feeling is gone.She also likes to visit these silkworms every day.Seems like something new every day.

Xia Yan didn't dampen Qiulin's interest, so he got up and let Qiulin know the way to the west wing.It was getting late, and it was getting dark in the house.Fortunately, the silkworms are kept near the window, so they can be seen clearly.

The silkworm had just eaten the mulberry leaves, and its belly was full, and it lay lazily inside the silkworm dust, motionless.Qiulin picked up a chubby silkworm with his hand and put it in his palm.That Can'er felt something strange, and twisted a few times uncomfortably. Qiulin felt his palms itch a little, and laughed out loud, "Brother Xia Yan, don't they look cute!" There is an aura of nobility that is different from that of the country people, presumably his family is quite wealthy, maybe you have never seen Caner raised in this country?

Seeing Qiulin catching Can'er like a baby and showing him to him, Xia Yan laughed too, and said following Qiulin's words: "It's quite cute, chubby." The Can'er moved twice, probably Find a comfortable position, and continue to sleep. "Qiu Lin, you'd better put it back quickly." The silkworms are the ones that demand cleanliness the most, and any invisible dirt on their hands may make them sick, so it's better to be careful.

Qiulin carefully put the silkworm into the silkworm duster again, and seeing some fresh mulberry leaves in the basket beside him, Qiulin took some mulberry leaves and threw them into the silkworm duster. The rustling sound made by silkworms eating mulberry leaves.With three or two strokes, only the stems are left of the green mulberry leaves.

Now the silkworm has reached its third age, and its appetite has become bigger than before.Digestion is also faster.Now I have to get up in the middle of the night to feed Can'er mulberry leaves once.

After feeding the silkworms, I just heard the eldest sister shouting, "Dinner is ready!"

At this time, Qiu Song was already setting up tables and carrying stools. There were so many people today that there might not be room for one table, so he set up another table.

A large bowl of deliciously stewed pheasant and stewed mushrooms quickly attracted everyone's attention. Looking at the stewed pheasant with crispy meat and a layer of oily water floating on it, everyone was amazed. Feeling so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back, I can't wait to scoop a big bowl into the bowl and start to eat it.

For the dozen or so wild eggs, Mrs. Han picked garlic sprouts and fried them. The yellow-orange-orange eggs were paired with green onion sprouts. Not only were they beautiful in color, but they also smelled delicious. "The fried wild eggs are much more fragrant than eggs!" Several female dolls shouted happily, it seemed that there was something good to eat today.

In addition to these two things, the Han family also made a soup with wild geese from Qiuhe, fried lean meat with sauerkraut, stir-fried gray vegetables, fried potato shreds, fried small dried fish, and cooked a few sausages cut into pieces. I installed two trays.There are a lot of people today, so we got more things.After these dishes were served, the two tables were also packed to the brim.The men and women in the room sat down next to each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.

"Brother Xia Yan, would you like to try it first?" After sitting down, Qiu Lin couldn't wait to put a piece of pheasant meat into Xia Yan's bowl, and asked him to taste it first.

"Sister Qiulin, you can't treat one another so favorably, we still have such a big table, you have to hold us too?" Mei Xiang couldn't help joking when she saw Qiulin like this.It seems that girl Qiulin has a good impression of this new doctor!
After being reminded by Mei Xiang, Qiu Lin felt a little embarrassed.With a blushing face, she picked up another chopstick for each of them, and finally she also picked up a piece for herself. This pheasant chicken tasted more delicate and fragrant than ordinary chicken.Looking at the big bowl of pheasant soup, Qiulin sighed infinitely. It seems that today's mouth is blessed.

Han's craftsmanship is not perfect, everyone can't stop eating, every dish is full of salt, making people want to eat it.Everyone in the room ate happily and lively.
