Chapter 24: The Temptation of Good Food
With a sense of accomplishment, she shared with Xiao Jin what she had just changed, and Qingling said, "Thanks to your little snake brother this time, let's pick up more eggs and give it some back." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xiao Jin spat out the snake letter indifferently.
A man and a snake began to look for birds' eggs.
In fact, there was no need to look for it, as soon as Xiaojin's coercion was released, all the birds and finches nearby flapped their wings in horror and fled, and following the breath of birds, they soon found one, two, and three nests.
Not only bird eggs, but also wild eggs have been found.
There are no parents to guard the nest, and the balls are caught.
Xiao Jin is responsible for going up to the tree to support the bird's nest, and Qingling sits under the tree to dig out bird eggs and pick up wild eggs. There was no sweep, and half of each nest was left, so that Xiao Jin could send it back. Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.
Despite this, the total number of nests that could not be supported was huge, and after a while, the back basket was full.
"Let's go, go back to the cave! ”
Xiao Ban is the snake brother who gave her ginseng last time. Thanks to it, I earned some money and tickets, and it was right to reward it with a few eggs.
Passing by the bamboo forest, Qingling's heart itched again: "Xiaojin, after eating eggs for a while, let's dig bamboo shoots." The master chef told me that the bamboo shoots in July are fatty and sweet, and they are most suitable for drying bamboo shoots. I don't know what happened to the winter here, so I need to store more dried vegetables so that my mouth won't taste all winter. And it doesn't cost anything to be delicious, so it's a lot. ”
Xiao Jin glanced lazily at her hanging arm, and if it was enough to dig bamboo shoots with one hand, of course it would have no opinion.
Qingling chased after her, and discussed with a smile: "What, when my arm is good, the bamboo shoots are old." Let's do it together. You dig the soil, I dig the bamboo shoots, how happy the division of labor and cooperation is! Good man! I will give you the 'bamboo shoots stewed meat' personally taught by the master master for the Chinese New Year......
When Xiao Jin was a jade crown and golden jiao, his favorite dish was braised pork with bamboo shoots. Of course, there is nothing to say about the master's craftsmanship. Qingling praised every time she ate it, which made the master master happy, and told her the ancestral secret recipe, including how to dry the bamboo shoots to make them more flavorful, and which part of the meat to pick is stronger...... I sent her to teach her with her bare hands.
Although Qingling has not cooked in the past seven years, she had a foundation in farm work before she was ten years old, and now she has the memory of Shu Yingfang, so it is not a problem to cook and stir-fry. The ingredients are complete, and it is not difficult to stew bamboo shoots and stew meat.
Xiao Jin didn't roll his eyes at her this time, but silently flicked the tip of his tail and flipped two small and small bamboo shoots from the ground in succession.
Qingling looked at it with joy: Hey! The temptation of food has succeeded!
When the snake brothers heard that King Jin and his human companions were digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, they exchanged blank glances at each other.
Digging bamboo shoots? Is this the work of a snake? Don't you burrow into the ground and arch the bamboo shoots out of the ground like earthworms? This is also a lot more difficult.
But the kings have all gone to the ground, can they be the little brothers and become deserters?
If you can't do it, you have to go!
They threw down all kinds of treasures in their mouths to please humans and thus to please King Jin, and swam to the bamboo forest in groups to fight.
If any villager saw this scene, he would be frightened and scattered.
Although there are many snakes and insects in summer, who has ever seen a mountain full of snakes gathered in one place and squirming in the same direction?
Rao is Qingling saw that her scalp was numb, and she couldn't bear it.
Xiao Jin looked at her playfully: Don't you want to eat bamboo shoots? The little brothers have more ways to help, and the king can finally wash and rest.
Qingling twitched the corners of her mouth and said stiffly, "You don't need so much to help." I'm not going to move the whole bamboo forest. Just dig a few enough for us to fight tooth sacrifices, and tell them to go back quickly. ”
Xiao Jin lazily turned his head, and as soon as he let go of his coercion, he immediately caused the snakes to crawl on the ground and tremble. After that, he ordered a few snake brothers led by him to stay, and the rest of them retreated.
The three snake brothers left behind are all black and white silver rings, wearing large scale armor and hard heads, known as "silver armor belt" and "silver-clad iron". Compared to the smaller, burrower-drilling snakes, the silver ring is clearly more than capable of digging bamboo shoots.
And one of them is the snake brother who gave Qingling ginseng before, Qingling named it "Little Spot", and out of gratitude, he left it to eat a hearty egg feast together.
At the moment, Xiaoban didn't know that the reason why Qingling and Xiaojin left it was to invite it to eat bird eggs and wild eggs, thinking that they were letting the three brothers work. didn't say anything, and excitedly followed his brother's ass to the ground.
I saw small bags of soil arching out of the ground one after another, and Qingling only needed to cut off the mud outside and put it in the back basket. It's much easier than digging one by one. It's also much more fun than Xiaojin flicking his tail.
The bird eggs and wild eggs in the basket were sent to the cave by Xiao Jin first.
When I came back, the bamboo shoots piled up on the ground could fill the basket again. Seeing that the three brothers were digging happily, Qingling didn't stop shouting, and asked Xiaojin to continue transporting the back basket to the cave, and she continued to dig the mud.
In this way, the cycle began again and again, until Xiao Jin's tail was pointed against the back basket and swam back and forth four or five times, estimating that the bamboo shoots piled up in the cave were dried and soaked into sour bamboo shoots enough for her to make a winter tooth sacrifice, Qingling hurriedly asked the snake brothers to stop work.
Always keep some bamboo, but don't dig bamboo shoots for the first time and make this bamboo forest a disaster.
The tender bamboo shoots that had been coveted for a long time were in hand, and the stomach began to sing the empty city plan, Qingling waved his hand: "Let's go! Go back to the cave and bake eggs to eat!"
Snakes like to eat eggs, eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, bird eggs...... As long as it's an egg, there's nothing they don't like.
Qingling also likes it. Especially now, when there is no meat to eat, a fragrant baked egg can make people cry with happiness.
Qingling picked up the dead branches that Xiaojin swept to the entrance of the cave with his tail, and put stones around them, so as not to cause a fire in the forest that would be mischievous.
It is the match that ignites the fire. A box the size of a baby's palm, with dozens of small sticks on fire lying in it - this thing Qingling has never seen in her previous life, and she found that it is indeed better than flint and steel, and she immediately loved it, and she brought it with her when she went out today. Fortunately, I brought it with me, otherwise where would I have roasted bird eggs to eat.
They like to eat raw eggs, swallow them whole, and then spit out the eggshells. It saved Qingling a lot of trouble, and after giving them ten eggs per snake, they just roasted themselves.
Bird eggs can't be roasted directly over the fire, they will burst.
Qingling picked a few leaves near the cave, and the texture was clear and the leaf surface was soft. It looks like a mulberry leaf, but it has more leaves than the mulberry tree at the foot of the mountain.
It's a pity that this will be early past the mulberry fruit ripening and hanging fruit period, there are quite a lot of birds and finches nearby, before Xiaojin exerted coercion, the forest was full of chirping cicadas and birds. Even if it is really a mulberry tree, the mulberry fruit has long been pecked. We'll have to wait until next year.
