Chapter Twenty-Six: The Valley of Buds
Sun Liang got between Qu Changge and Widow Liu, stretched out his head and said, "Sister, I have the best fire, you just have to rest." ”
Qu Changge didn't rob him, but helped Widow Liu to work in the stove, cutting vegetables and washing vegetables, she was no problem, she couldn't really sit and be the shopkeeper, she couldn't do it.
Widow Liu saw that it was useless for her to say, so she went with her, after all, with someone to help, cooking would be faster.
The three of them cooking together are very harmonious and lively, especially the love that Widow Liu inadvertently showed to Sun Liang, which made Qu Changge envious.
When the meal was ready, Widow Liu led the two of them to serve the meals one by one.
Qu Changge saw that it was really hearty, stewed a pheasant, the rabbit was braised in a braised sauce, a plate of white radish slices was fried, and there was a big bowl of soup, which was made by Widow Liu with dried chili peppers and dried salt vegetables.
Widow Liu first clamped a rabbit hind leg and gave it to Qu Changge: "Girl, this is all thanks to you, otherwise we can eat rabbit meat there." ”
Qu Changge hurriedly gave the rabbit leg sandwiched into the bowl to Sun Liang, who was watching pitifully beside him: "Liangzi needs to eat more to grow taller." ”
Sun Liang did not hesitate to clip the rabbit leg back: "My sister is so much older than me, but she is only a little taller than me, it's better for my sister to eat more and grow taller!"
Qu Changge liked this sensible boy very much, and was about to clip it back, Widow Liu hurriedly sandwiched another rabbit leg into Sun Liang's bowl: "Okay, okay, a rabbit has four legs, you two small ones eat the hind legs, and I eat the front legs." ”
After she finished speaking, she directly pinched another front leg for herself and showed it to the two of them.
Qu Changge knew that if he clamped back again, it would be a bit hypocritical, and Widow Liu couldn't accept it, so she just wanted to hunt more prey in the future and raise these two people who were as thin as hemp poles to gain weight.
She took a sip of the bowl of golden things she had brought, and it was a little sloppy, and it wasn't as delicious as it seemed.
Qu Changge wanted to ask what it was, but he was afraid that they would be suspicious, so he had to suppress his curiosity.
She looked for the memories of her predecessor again, and finally knew that this was called bud valley, that is, corn, which was introduced to China from a distant country hundreds of years ago.
This thing has a high yield, strong drought tolerance, is a very good food crop, and has a high nutritional value, so she feels that this thing is not so unpalatable.
Hey, it would be nice if this thing could be brought to the Daxing Dynasty, thinking of the various disasters that the Daxing Dynasty often encountered, the people of Li would not be hungry when they encountered disasters, and this thing would definitely alleviate a lot.
However, Widow Liu saw that Qu Changge was a little difficult to swallow when he drank bud grain batter, so she pushed the bowl of sweet potato and rice in front of Qu Changge in front of her: "Your bud grain batter is too thick, let's change it, you eat my bowl of sweet potato and rice." ”
Qu Changge shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, I usually can't eat this, I have been drinking porridge with a few grains of rice more than white water these days." ”
As she spoke, she picked up the packet of grain and drank it again.
The dinner of the three of them was eaten quickly, and everyone was really a little hungry, and the food on this table was so delicious, everyone couldn't hold it back.
After dinner, Qu Changge wanted to help wash the dishes, but Widow Liu said: "I don't need you, I have to go to work tomorrow, go back and rest! By the way, big girl, you should send the gray rabbit away first! At this time, there is no one on the road, which is the most suitable." ”
Qu Changge thought about it, and it was troublesome to save people from seeing.
Sun Liang hurriedly went to pick up the gray rabbit that was tied up sturdily, handed it to Qu Changge's hand, revealing his mouth with missing front teeth: "Sister, I have a flashlight, I'll send you!"
Qu Changge suddenly thought that there seemed to be a such thing among the things that Zhao Dongsheng brought over today, and she was a little eager to go back and look through the things sent by Zhao Dongsheng again.
But today, the rabbit still needed to be sent over first, so she had to take the gray rabbit with her eagerness.
Widow Liu wiped her hands on her apron and said to Qu Changge: "Come back tomorrow, I won't let Liangzi call you." ”
Qu Changge actually doesn't like to deal with people in the Qu family, but she is a little embarrassed to come over, after all, it is even more difficult for orphans and widows.
Widow Liu saw her hesitation and said to her, "Girl, if you don't come tomorrow, just take those things away now." ”
Where is Qu Changge, how can these things be said to make up for the mother and son, looking at the two of them thin, they are malnourished at a glance, and the big deal is that she will go hunting every day from tomorrow, and she will not let them suffer.
By the way, anyway, you have to get up early in the morning to practice the exercises, and you have to practice your hands and feet, so you can just help the Sun family carry water or something from tomorrow, otherwise the two of them are thin and small, where do they have the strength to work.
The predecessor is also thin, but it has not escaped getting up early every day to carry water, it doesn't matter if you can't pick up so much, as long as the water tank is full, the predecessor has met Widow Liu countless times by the well, she can't pick too much, pick less each time, run more twice.
Qu Changge thought that when they were beating pigweed, they could also go to the mountains to chop firewood, rake fir branches or something, in short, she would take care of them more in the future.
Widow Liu didn't know that Qu Changge had thought so much after standing there for a while, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she said again: "Big girl, you must come tomorrow!"
Qu Changge came to his senses at this time, can't he still take food from the Qu family, just carry his rations directly to the Sun family tomorrow, save yourself from eating with those uncomfortable people, and this meal will have to go sideways.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I listen to Aunt Liu, and I'll come tomorrow!"
Widow Liu can be regarded as relieved, she is an honest person, she really can't do anything to take advantage of others, even the most difficult years she carried by herself.
Sun Liang gave Qu Changge a flashlight to light the way, because they had just eaten, the two slowed down and walked towards Yu's house.
Not to mention that there is really no one on the way, people near and far are just lighting a lamp at home, and they can go to Yu's house with confidence and boldness.
The moonlight tonight is very good, there are a lot of stars, and there is actually no flashlight on the road to see a rough Qi, Qu Changge knew that Sun Liang wanted to stay with him for a while.
After walking for a while, seeing that he really couldn't meet anyone, Qu Changge said to Sun Liang: "Starting tomorrow morning, you will get up early, and the two of us will practice together, you know?"
Sun Liang couldn't wait to have her sentence, and he sent it out with the intention of asking Qu Changge when he could start practicing, and when he saw her say this, he immediately jumped in front of her and said, "Yes, Master!"
