Chapter 111: Departure
Before the sun rose, Zhao Qingzao got up and was busy, because he was going to leave the house for a while, so there were still many things to prepare, Shen Changting was not in good health, and he usually needed to rest more, so Zhao Qingzao was careful in what he did, for fear of waking up Shen Changting with a noise.
"Let's make some steamed buns and baked cakes first. Zhao Qingzao stood in front of the kitchen door, thought for a while, and then said.
Because it is very inconvenient to eat on the road, bringing dry food is the best way, so after Zhao Qingzao hesitated a few times, he gave up a lot of delicious food, and chose the most simple and easy-to-save steamed buns and pancakes, just kneaded the noodles, Zhao Qingzao heard the sound of Grandma Niu feeding the chickens next door, so Zhao Qingzao quickly wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then walked outside.
"Grandma Niu, Changting and I are going to Liangcheng today, and I will trouble you to watch it at home. Zhao Qingzao walked behind Grandma Niu and saw Grandma Niu scattering rice to feed the chickens, so she said to Grandma Niu with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao's voice, Grandma Niu was obviously taken aback, she didn't expect that someone would come to talk to her so early in the morning, and after turning around and seeing that it was Zhao Qingzao standing behind her, Grandma Niu patted her heart and said: "Qingzao, it turned out to be you, I thought it was who, by the way! Are you going to Liangcheng today? Then you can rest assured, I will definitely help you take a good look at the house." ”
"Thank you, Grandma Niu, I will definitely bring you a lot of specialties when I come back. Zhao Qingzao's round eyes narrowed with a smile, because he was still in a hurry to make steamed buns and baked cakes, so Zhao Qingzao thanked Grandma Wagyu affectionately, and then continued to go back to the kitchen to knead dough.
felt that the dough was almost kneaded, so Zhao Qingzao put the finished steamed buns into the steamer, and the rest of the dough was kept to make baked cakes, and it was okay to put it in the oven later, but Zhao Qingzao accidentally burned his fingers by the oven, and his good fingers immediately blistered.
"Oops, it hurts me. Zhao Qingzao grinned at his scalded fingers, thinking that there were still many things to do, so he didn't have time to deal with the wound, so he could just bandage it casually.
After Zhao Qingzao finished the steamed buns and baked cakes, Shen Changting also got up, and packed up all the baggage, seeing that Zhao Qingzao was busy in the kitchen, Shen Changting planned to go in to help, but he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to come out of the kitchen with steamed buns and baked cakes, and the two didn't see each other, and almost bumped into each other.
"Qingzao, are you okay?" Shen Changting hurriedly helped Zhao Qingzao, and then asked, seeing Zhao Qingzao holding steamed buns and baked cakes in his hands, Shen Changting blamed himself even more, he originally planned to go into the kitchen to help, but he didn't expect to help much, but he almost caused Zhao Qingzao's hard-earned steamed buns and baked cakes to fall to the ground, fortunately, Zhao Qingzao stood firm in time, otherwise he would have been busy all morning.
"It's okay, Changting, why did you get up so early, can you sleep a little longer?" Zhao Qingzao shook his head, and after retracting his scalded fingers, he said to Shen Changting.
Zhao Qingzao didn't tell Shen Changting about her finger being burned, firstly, she felt that it was just a trivial matter, and there was no need to make a fuss at all, and secondly, she didn't want Shen Changting to worry, so she finally decided to do so.
"It's okay, you get up early in the morning to work, how can I sleep soundly? After Shen Changting was sure that Zhao Qingzao was really fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Hearing Shen Changting say this, Zhao Qingzao didn't say anything, and after taking out the two steamed buns and stuffing them into Shen Changting's hands, Zhao Qingzao put the remaining steamed buns and baked cakes into the baggage, and then said to Shen Changting: "Let's set off as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm. Shen Changting nodded, carefully divided the steamed bun into small pieces, and then handed it to Zhao Qingzao, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao waved his hand, and then took another steamed bun with a big grin, and took a big bite of it, letting her eat the steamed bun little by little.
Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting are completely different people, Zhao Qingzao has a cheerful temperament and will take revenge, but Shen Changting is a very light and meticulous person, so it is really a very rare thing for two people to become husband and wife, and they are still so affectionate.
Because they had to go to the county government to ask for leave, Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting went to the county government to ask for leave with their burdens after eating steamed buns, and the two of them just walked to the door of the county government, but they didn't expect to see Chu Xingshan.
"Hike the mountain!" Zhao Qingzao immediately said with a smile after seeing Chu Xingshan.
Shen Changting looked at Chu Xingshan's back a little coldly, still thinking about the fact that Zhao Qingzao and Chu Xingshan had a good relationship, Shen Changting was really jealous of Chu Xingshan before, jealous that he could have a healthy body and be able to go up the mountain to hunt with Zhao Qingzao, and he, a sick scholar, could only stay at home and wait for Zhao Qingzao, just because he did not have a healthy body, and his hands could not be too shoulders to resist.
Although Zhao Qingzao had already explained the relationship between her and Chu Xingshan, and Shen Changting had promised not to mention this matter again, Shen Changting was still very concerned in his heart, so after seeing Chu Xingshan, Shen Changting felt very awkward in his heart.
"Qingzao, I heard that the two of you are going to Liangcheng to find a miracle doctor?" After Chu Xingshan saw Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting, he walked over with a smile, and then asked Zhao Qingzao.
"Yes, I've already scraped together enough money, and I've encountered a little something, so I'm in a hurry to go to Liangcheng to find a miracle doctor, hoping to heal Changting's body this time. Zhao Qingzao nodded, and then said to Chu Xingshan.
Because Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting were in a hurry to ask for leave, they didn't say too much to Chu Xingshan, and after saying a few more words, Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting went to the county government to ask for leave, although the county master was very reluctant to let Zhao Qingzao go to Liangcheng, but they were on this trip to find God to heal their illness, so the county master simply agreed to let Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting ask for leave, and specially asked the master to find a carriage, so that Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting could go to Liangcheng as soon as possible.
After the people in the county government knew that Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting were going to Liangcheng for treatment, they were very reluctant to let the two of them go, so they sent Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting to the door of the county government, and after seeing the two of them in the carriage, the people in the county government reluctantly said goodbye to Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting.
"The carriage that the master is looking for is quite comfortable, and we should be able to make a good trip this way. After Zhao Qingzao put the burden away, he looked around in the carriage again, touched it, and finally said to Shen Changting.
"yes, it's very comfortable. Different from Zhao Qingzao's reaction, Shen Changting was much calmer, sitting on the side and looking at Zhao Qingzao with a smile.
Because Shen Changting's body was weak, Zhao Qingzao asked Shen Changting to stay in the carriage to rest, and he hurried away with a whip by himself, Shen Changting was originally unwilling, but his body was indeed too bad, so he was also more than willing to rest, and finally could only reluctantly sit in the carriage to rest.
The two of them ran all the way for several days, and Zhao Qingzao had to worry about whether there would be people chasing and killing Shen Changting in the back in addition to hurrying, so it was only a few days, and Zhao Qingzao became very haggard, not to mention Shen Changting, who was already weak enough, and now he couldn't stand steadily.
"Green dates, let's eat some baked cakes. Shen Changting handed the baked cake to Zhao Qingzao, and said in a hoarse voice.
Because they have been eating dry food for the past few days, the two of them have a bad appetite, so they just eat some steamed buns and baked cakes and continue to hurry, looking at the baked cakes handed over by Shen Changting, although Zhao Qingzao is hungry, she has no appetite at all, and if she is asked to eat dry food again, I am afraid that she will faint on the road after a while.
"I won't eat it, I'll definitely go crazy if I eat dry food again, there are beautiful mountains and rivers here, there should be a lot of delicious food, let's just find some game to eat." Zhao Qingzao shook his head directly, then jumped out of the carriage and said to Shen Changting.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Shen Changting also jumped out of the carriage, and after a while, Zhao Qingzao turned out a thing to catch a pheasant from her baggage, which she specifically asked Chu Xingshan for, and now it just came in handy.
"Changting, you can rest for a while, I'm going to catch pheasants. Zhao Qingzao walked to Shen Changting's side and said softly.
Hearing this, Shen Changting nodded, but after Zhao Qingzao walked away, he did not sit aside to rest, but bent over to find something on the ground, and after a while, Shen Changting said happily: "Found it." ”
Shen Changting was holding a handful of wild vegetables in his hand, it turned out that he had just bent down on the ground to find wild vegetables, because he didn't want to drag Zhao Qingzao down, so Shen Changting took advantage of this opportunity to decide to find some wild vegetables, although it was not as good as the pheasant caught by Zhao Qingzao, but at least it could make the two of them eat better.
After Shen Changting picked all the wild vegetables, Zhao Qingzao also caught a pheasant, and she also found a few mountain eggs, seeing the wild vegetables in Shen Changting's hand, Zhao Qingzao was stunned, and said after a while: "Are you looking for these wild vegetables?"
"yes, it's not much, but it's enough to make soup. Shen Changting nodded, and said to Zhao Qingzao with a light smile.
Zhao Qingzao's smiling eyes were crooked, and she walked over and kissed Shen Changting, she knew that Shen Changting felt sorry for herself, so she took advantage of her lack of attention to find wild vegetables, Zhao Qingzao was very moved in her heart, and she was also very glad that she was able to find a husband like Shen Changting.
After cleaning up the pheasant, Zhao Qingzao found some yellow mud, and after wrapping the pheasant layer by layer with lotus leaves, Zhao Qingzao sealed the pheasant with yellow mud, and then put it into the pit, intending to roast the pheasant slowly.
"Qingjujube, what are you doing? Shen Changting smelled the fragrance and walked up to Zhao Qingzao and asked.
"It's called Hua Chicken, and although the name is not good, it is delicious, and you will definitely like it. After Zhao Qingzao squatted by the river and washed the wild vegetables, he said to Shen Changting.
"As long as you do it, I like it. Shen Changting said to Zhao Qingzao without changing his face.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao was stunned, then glared at Shen Changting shyly, and then boiled all the wild vegetables into soup.
