Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ancient Cannon Fodder Female Eight
Brother Su is a talented man, he can be described as well-read, and he has also dabbled in medical books, although he has not read a few, but he still knows the names of most of the medical books in the current world, and the names of these medical books mentioned by his sister, Brother Su has never heard of them. It seems that the noble person who saved his sister must be the kind of family with deep background.
"It's a blessing for you. ”
Su Qingyi nodded. It is my own blessing that I can be taken care of by the immortals and learn from the immortals. Now, she continues to learn from the immortals every night.
"Big brother, I'll go around the outside of the village, and you look at the second brother and second sister-in-law. Su Qingyi looked at the environment of the eldest brother and the second brother's house, and estimated that there must not be much food at home. She wanted to catch some wild things and make up for her brother and sister-in-law.
"Is your second sister-in-law okay?" asked Su Qingxing.
"Life is saved, but it will take some time for the body to recover. Su Qing said.
"It's good for people to live. Governor Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Qing, "Be careful, there are often small groups of people from neighboring countries in our village, if you encounter them, avoid them quickly." ”
Su Qingxing did not restrain her sister and did not let her go out, her sister was able to come to the border city to find them smoothly, and she already had the ability to walk outside.
Su Qingyi nodded, picked up a pair of bows and arrows in the basket placed in the courtyard, carried them on her back, and went out.
Su Qingxing stared at the pair of bows and arrows, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Outside the village is a large grassland, Su Qingyi originally wanted to catch a few hares to go back, but luckily, she encountered a group of antelopes, and she shot one. On the way back, Su Qingyi saw the soldiers of the neighboring country from a distance, she squatted down and nested in the grass, and waited until the small group of people and horses passed, and then got up and returned to the village. The total number of people in that team was only thirteen or fourteen, and with Su Qingxing's current skills, plus bows and arrows, he could kill all of them. However, killing them would cause trouble for the village, so Su Qingyi chose to avoid them.
When Su Qingxing saw the antelope, his saliva almost flowed out. How long has it been since he's eaten meat? Not to mention meat, he's not had a full meal in a long time.
"Big brother, you help me boil water, and I'll stew mutton soup for you later." Su Qingyi neatly peeled the sheepskin and cleaned up the internal organs, while smiling and instructing Su Qingxing.
Su Qingxing neatly put the dry firewood into the simple earthen stove, filled the clay pot with water and placed it on top of the stove.
The brother and sister both saw each other's movements, and their eyes were red. Such a neat movement, this is all practiced after a lot of hardship!
While feeling sorry for his brother/sister, he kept moving his hands, and when Su Qingyi had processed the mutton, the water in the crockpot was boiling. Su Qingyi put a few pieces of lamb bones and two fist-sized pieces of meat into a crockpot and searched the kitchen for seasonings. Only a little coarse salt was found, nothing else was found.
In this situation, Su Qingyi also expected, and when she was on the way, she purchased some spices, and even bought some food, all of which were put in the basket. She carried the basket into the kitchen, and took out two seasonings, salt and sugar, and a bag of brown rice weighing 20 catties, a bag weighing 5 catties of flour, and a bag weighing 20 catties of white rice.
Su Qingyi originally wanted to buy all white rice instead of brown rice, but after hearing Su Qingni say that she occasionally ate some coarse grains to support others, she bought some brown rice. And she bought this brown rice right, and then the brown rice was useful.
Then he took out an iron pot with a diameter of one foot from the basket, the bottom of the pot was relatively deep, and it could hold a lot of things. Then there are spatulas, chopsticks, kitchen knives, chopping boards...... There's even a small jar that's rough.
Su Qingxing said with a smile: "You really have a complete purchase." ”
Su Qingyi snorted: "I thought you guys were lacking everything here, so I bought it." But, ginger or something, you have it here, right?"
Even if you don't grow your own ginger at home, there should be wild ginger, right?
"Yes. Su Qingxing nodded, "We don't have Langzhong here, and we have to walk for at least one day to get to the county seat." In order not to get sick, each family planted a small piece of ginger, so that they could drink ginger soup when they were cold and prevent typhoid fever from entering the body. ”
Su Qingyi said: "Then you dig two of them, wash them and put them in the clay pot, which can remove the fishy smell of mutton." ”
Su Qingxing immediately complied.
Su Qingyi took out the last two things from the basket: the clay pot and the sea bowl she used in the mountain temple. These two had different objections to her, and when she left the mountain temple, she did not throw them away, but put them in a storage bag. Seeing that there was only one crockpot in the Su family, she transferred the two items from the storage bag to the basket and took them out openly.
Su Qingyi grabbed three handfuls of white rice, put them in a clay pot, and added water. Well, there is only one earthen stove at home, and you can't cook porridge if you stew mutton soup. She hurried out again to carry stones and mud.
Su Qingxing was extremely surprised when he saw Su Qingyi skillfully building the stove: "You can even build the stove?"
Su Qingyi smiled and said a little proudly: "I know a lot of things now." ”
Su Qingxing said: "I'll help you." ”
"No, I don't. I'm fast. Su Qingyi rejected Su Qingxing, "Big brother, you replace the crockpot for stewing mutton soup with the crockpot for cooking porridge, cook the porridge first, and when the stove on my side is built, use the stove here to stew the soup." You and your second brother and sister-in-law haven't eaten meat for so long, and eating meat all of a sudden is not good for the stomach, so eat porridge first to nourish the stomach. ”
"You don't need to start another stove. Brother Su said, "When the porridge is cooked, then stew the mutton soup." ”
"It's going to get up. A stove is inconvenient. Su Qingyi said, "It takes a long time to stew mutton soup before the mutton can be stewed." After cooking the porridge on the other stove, hot water is boiled. It is better to drink boiled water, so as not to cause disease with raw water. ”
Brother Su: "Sister, you are so capable, it makes me feel that my second brother and sister-in-law and I have hope of survival, and our Su family should not be extinct." ”
Su Qingyi's nose was sour, remembering that she had come before to see the numbness of the eldest brother and the second brother, they should have lost the desire to live at that time, right?
"Big brother......" Su Qingyi choked up, "I will definitely try my best to let you and your second brother live well." ”
"Silly girl. Brother Su's voice was also a little hoarse, "It is the responsibility of me and your second brother to do such a thing as raising a family." We're up to you for now, but we're going to have to do it on our own. ”
"I believe in the ability of the eldest brother and the second brother. Su Qing said. She believed that her brother would be able to live a better life as long as they survived the most difficult period.
"I'm so ashamed to hear you say that. "It was not Brother Su who spoke, but the second brother of the Su family.
