The days of the new dynasty have returned to peace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

One day, the post messenger sent a letter to Xie Yujiao.

At first, Xie Yujiao still wondered why the letters from Shu had always been sent by Zhao Chengxi, so why they were sent by a post messenger this time.

Could it be because of the recent turmoil in the court, Zhao Chengxi's family, as a member of the new emperor's faction, was too busy to send her a letter in order to suppress the new emperor?

With suspicion, she took the letter from the injured post messenger and looked at it, the handwriting was crooked, and at first glance it was not her father's note.

Back in the house, she opened the envelope and read the contents, only to know that it was a letter of peace written to her by Futu.

Futu said in the letter that he walked all the way to inquire with others, and finally found a place to recruit soldiers. Because of his young age and good archery skills, he was assigned to the Divine Arrow Battalion, and is now receiving formal archer training.

He said that joining the army was the most correct choice he had made at present, because many of the young people in the barracks were the same age as him, and all of them were full of enthusiasm and wanted to make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy and get ahead.

Here he has endless energy every day, getting up before dawn every day to exercise, and he doesn't fall asleep until late at night. Although it is very hard and tiring, as long as he thinks that he can strengthen his skills, he will be able to kill more enemies on the battlefield in the future, and he will be able to get ahead as soon as possible, and go back to marry her in style, he will not be afraid of anything.

Xie Yujiao knew that Futu was bent on getting ahead, but she didn't expect him to be able to fight for this part, this kid is also a daring person in his bones.

Judging from the fact that Futu is a soldier, she feels that people must have goals to be more motivated, just like Futu.

Second, she is afraid that the time to go home now can only be postponed indefinitely.

But she was not very frustrated and disappointed, she thought that she could accompany her grandfather more, anyway, there were younger brothers and sisters at home to be filial to her father, and the family knew that she was safe, and she could continue to live in Dongshan Village with peace of mind.

The winter snow began to melt slowly, and anxious villagers began to go out of their homes again to prepare for spring ploughing.

One day, she passed by a farmland and saw an old farmer standing barefoot in a cold paddy field plowing his field.

She stood on the shore and watched for a while, then reached out and tested the water in the field.

The water, like snow water, was cold and thorny, and her palm instantly lost sensation, and after a while, her palm began to go numb, red and swollen like a carrot.

"Grandpa Wang, it's so cold in the field, can you stand it barefoot?" Xie Yujiao shouted at the old man.

The old man who was busy in the field was the people of the village, the old man was already fifty or sixty people, standing in such cold and biting water, how could his body and bones be able to eat?

She wanted to say, why don't you wait for the weather to warm up and get busy, what is the difference between this and standing in the snowy water? Aren't you afraid that your body will freeze to death?

The old man has also seen Xie Yujiao, and knows that this child has great ability and promising, and the land at home is rented to others to plant, so I am afraid that I don't know the difficulty of farming.

He stopped and smiled at Xie Yujiao and said, "Little girl, old man, I also want to make the fields when the weather is warm, but when the weather is warm, I will be more busy." Spring ploughing is about to rush time, our farmers' annual rations are counting on a good harvest in the fields, if it is delayed, the next year will be hungry! ”

The old man spat at the palm of his hand, rubbed it, continued to shovel the weeds on the ridge with a hoe, and said: "Aren't you people who know how to learn literature have a saying that 'the plan of the year lies in spring'? We farmers are the same, spring ploughing is done, and this year has a good start, otherwise, the family will be miserable! ”

Yes, the plan of the year lies in spring!

Spring is off to a good start, and this year can be counted on.

Xie Yujiao was a little ignorant, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she said goodbye to her grandfather in a daze and returned home.

As soon as Kufei saw the little master, he rushed over, happily wagging his tail and pounced on the person.

The shiny and black Kufei has grown into a sturdy big dog, which can not only watch the house to prevent theft, but also go hunting with his grandfather in the mountains, which can be described as an all-round dog.

Old man Qu knew that his granddaughter was going home at this time, and he was already busy making lunch in the kitchen.

"Quick, wash your face, and you'll be ready to eat right away!" The old man heard the movement in the courtyard and greeted him in a loud voice.

Xie Yujiao patted Kufei and signaled it not to make trouble, then smelled the fragrance and went straight to the kitchen, "Wow, grandpa, what are you eating today?" Why is it so fragrant? I'm drooling from my hunger! ”

She stood by the pot, and the aroma of the pot came to her nose, making the worms in her stomach churn.

The old man didn't say anything, he sold it first, and let Xie Yujiao guess, "Guess what, it's been more than a year, we really haven't eaten it, good things!" ”

Xie Yujiao thought, haven't eaten it for more than a year? Could it be in the mountains? Grandpa went into the mountains to hunt today?

"What could it be? Are you in the mountains again? Didn't I tell you that you can't go into the mountains to hunt on this cold day? How cold is it, what can I do if I freeze you? She kept a straight face and blamed her grandfather unhappily.

She thought that this was the fresh prey that her grandfather hunted back in the mountains in order to satisfy her hunger, regardless of the cold, and suddenly no matter how delicious the things in the pot were, they couldn't attract her.

The old man saw that his granddaughter was going to be angry, so he hurriedly explained: "No, no, how dare I enter the mountain if you say you won't let me enter the mountain, don't be angry!" It's beef, beef! ”

"Huh? Beef? Where did it come from? Xie Yujiao called.

Don't blame her for all the fuss, she really hasn't eaten beef in years. In this dynasty, unlike in previous generations, cattle were the main labor force in agriculture and could not be slaughtered at will. If you are caught committing suicide, you will be sentenced.

If you want to eat beef, unless the cow dies of illness, old age, or accident, then it can be slaughtered and eaten only after the village reports.

Therefore, when she heard that it was beef cooked in the pot, how could she not be surprised.

"There was a family in the neighboring village whose cow was bitten off by a dog and could not be saved. I slaughtered and sold meat today, and I heard what people said, so I went to buy the remaining ten catties. You haven't eaten beef yet, this time the beef is absolutely good, it's not old and sick, and the taste is not bad! ”

"Ten pounds? How long do we have to eat? Xie Yujiao washed her hands and was surprised by her grandfather's extravagance.

The old man opened the pot, put meat in the pot, and said indifferently, "You haven't eaten it before, let's eat enough at once this time." If you can't finish a meal, let's eat it slowly and chilling, anyway, you can't miss such an opportunity. Hey, I'll give you a piece first, be careful of the heat! ”

Xie Yujiao blew on a large piece of beef on her grandfather's chopsticks, and opened her mouth carefully.

Although the beef is indeed a little hot, no matter how hot it is, it can't resist the determination of foodies.

She opened her mouth and breathed out, moving the soft beef in her mouth, biting and chewing, carefully tasting the soft and smooth flavor of the beef, and then swallowed it.

"Wow, it's delicious, grandpa's craftsmanship is really not covered!" Xie Yujiao gave the old man a thumbs up and nodded vigorously in praise.

The old man beckoned her to take the dishes and chopsticks and prepare to eat, and then took the meat basin and went to the hall.

In fact, there was no need for grandpa to greet her, Xie Yujiao had already taken the dishes and chopsticks, and impatiently ran to the pot of fragrant radish roast beef.

"Beef, I'm coming!"
