Chapter 9 Farm Tools
The West Garden has been abandoned for several years, and the dead branches and leaves and worn-out utensils, tables and chairs piled up in the corners cannot be used for their original use, but they can be used to make a fire to boil water and cook rice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo Wu'er buried her head in picking up some broken wooden sticks from the corners of the table, set up a fire in the open space, and pierced the rats with an iron fork and skewered them, and hung them above the fire to bake.
When the brilliant flames sprayed on the rat, a puff of black smoke suddenly came out and rose into the sky.
Gradually, the rat's fur was burned clean by the fire, revealing the tender flesh of the white flowers inside, and a layer of oil shiny.
There is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, so it can only be cooked in the roughest way.
After a while, the rat meat was roasted and matured into a golden brown, exuding a burst of nasal aroma of meat, Luo Wu'er moved the iron fork away from the fire and swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
Although the rat looks dirty and messy, its meat is very tender and delicious, and there is no discomfort at all when eaten a few times once in a while.
Luo Wu'er happily went to the backyard to find the little maid Ruxiang with a meat skewer, when the monk had more meat and less meat, she could only hide the meat skewers in the corner under the eaves, and secretly let Ruxiang come out of the house to taste the food.
When Rue Xiang walked out of the door, her face was full of expectation: "Luo Luo, you have meat to eat so soon, you are too powerful!" ”
"Well, it took a lot of effort."
"You must be looking for Mama Li for help, right? If she is willing to be accommodating, your mother will be reluctant to let you endure hardship, and all the delicacies will be sent to you. Rue Xiang guessed.
Luo Wu'er was slightly embarrassed, Mama Li would be very good if she didn't poison her food, how could she be expected to take care of it.
The Li family really cherishes her daughter, only her meals are entrusted to Mama Li to send to Xiyuan, fresh fish and lean meat, and all kinds of delicacies take turns.
As for the silver taels spent on the ingredients, his father Luo Hua paid for it alone, and he did not waste a penny of the palace's money.
Despite her father's spending a lot of money, all she could eat was some rotten food.
It should have been ordered by the side concubine Zhu that every time the food sent to Xiyuan was delivered, it had to be stranded for two to three days before it could be delivered.
"I didn't tell my mother that now that I can't honor my ancestors, I can't even save my life, so why bother my family." Luo Wu'er sighed and shook her head, denying Ruxiang's speculation.
Ruxiang's face was gloomy, and when she thought of her current situation, she was sad: "Could it be that you really can't leave Xiyuan?" Woo, even if I have meat to eat today, I can't be happy. ”
Ahh
"Xiao Ruxiang, don't cry, there is meat to eat today, don't think about the future. Come and go, our lives will get better and better in the future, believe me. Luo Wu'er hurriedly led her out.
dragged the person to the previous place, she stuffed the meat skewers into Ruxiang's hands, sat on the ground and said: "Remember that all the food sent by Mama Li must not be sent to the mouth, she is not a good person." ”
The maid Rue Xiang took the meat skewer, and immediately smelled the smell of cooked meat, the tip of her nose moved, and the tears on her face had time to be wiped away, and she opened her mouth to eat.
"Hmm......" asked while chewing: "Why can't you eat what Mama Li brought, isn't she your nurse?" ”
"People will change, maybe I used to treat me sincerely, but now Mama Li has her own plans. I happened to be a stumbling block in her way, and I wanted to get rid of it quickly. Luo Wu'er saw that she was eating well, and said calmly.
Although she was reborn in another world for only a month, she accepted her current identity from the bottom of her heart.
If she can't escape from the prison of Xiyuan with her own abilities and means, just contacting her father and mother to rescue her will only bring endless disasters to the Luo family, and she is unwilling to take risks.
Although the real Luo Wu'er is no longer there, she wants to protect her family for her.
Rue Xiang buried her head in nibbling on the meat, frowned and thought about it: "Although I don't understand what you said, I have written it down, and I will not easily listen to it in the future." ”
"Good." Luo Wu'er touched the top of her head and was very pleased.
Rue Xiang ate the meat skewers clean in three or two clicks, licked her red lips and said, "Luo Luo, there is too little meat." ”
The rat had only a little bit of meat, and although the vole it caught was fat, it was not enough for a person who had been hungry for a long time.
Luo Wu'er shook her head helplessly, suddenly thought that the open space in Xiyuan was very wide, and said happily: "In the future, we will raise some chickens, ducks and geese in captivity, although the food sent from outside is similar to pig food, but at least it is not rotten. ”
"Chickens, ducks and geese in captivity? Where did the cubs come from? "How happy it is to be able to eat meat all at once, Ruexiang's eyes are shining.
Luo Wu'er touched the top of her head, and replied mysteriously: "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”
Mo Yu owes her a life, and besides, he can easily enter and exit the Ruiwang Mansion to assassinate Qianxuan without being noticed, and it should not be difficult for him to bring some living creatures into the mansion.
Mo Yu, who was running wildly among the various farmers and traders, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Childe, why don't you take the little girl out of the house, look at your brocade clothes are so luxurious, what a good clothes, but it's a pity that you were ruined by these farm tools!"
A foot away from Mo Yu's location, an old woman in a dark red floral dress stared at the black clothes on his body, and sighed with pity in her eyes.
The old woman's words aroused the disagreement of the other traders and women in the market, and they all gathered to look at him.
"Yes, the best silk is worth a thousand gold now, and the son doesn't cherish it too much." "How can you buy so many farm tools, look at the prince's luxury, he should call the house slaves to buy them."
The bitter persuasion sounded, making Mo Yu frown slightly.
Looking at the various strange utensils written on the paper, his cold face was almost chapped.
He has always been accustomed to hiding in the shadows to assassinate his chosen prey, but at this time, he was watched and pointed at by everyone, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Because he didn't like it, the murderous aura accumulated in his body instantly couldn't be controlled and overflowed.
It's just that despite his murderous aura, he didn't scare away the women gathered in a circle.
At this time, five rakes and two copper shovels were tied with hemp rope on his back, and a full seven long farm tools were tied to his back.
He is used to hiding in the dark all the year round, his skin is bright and a little pale, and he is lined with a black dress, showing an alternative sense of softness, plus a few handfuls of plows on his back, showing a sense of comical and intimate for no reason.
"Childe, the mustard seeds, melon seeds and flower seeds you need are all ready, a total of ten yuan."
Just when Mo Yu's tense face couldn't hold it, a soft female voice sounded, and then a white numb bag was handed over, full of seeds.
"Thank you." Mo Yu said stiffly.
After stuffing the cloth bag full of seeds into the placket of his coat and paying ten cents, he quickly turned around and left the market, and from a distance, Xiao Se's back looked like a lone wolf fleeing with his tail between his legs.
Luo Wu'er chatted with Rue Xiang for a while, and then began to gather the food of other crazy beauties in Xiyuan.
The things that have always been sent to Xiyuan every day, even if they are stitches and threads, need to be strictly examined.
As for Mama Li's delivery in a bamboo basket, it was because the side concubine Zhu did not dare to expose Luo Wu'er's situation in the palace, and she was afraid that her father Luo Hua would do something bad in front of King Rui, so she deliberately deceived her mother and prepared a unique and sumptuous delicacy, so that everyone mistakenly thought that she was favored alone.
As for the food of the other concubines in the West Garden, it was poured into a stone trough at the entrance.
The stone trough is two meters long and has no carvings, and the rough stone trough looks like a trough for ordinary farmers raising pigs.
Luo Wu'er and Rue Xiang each carried a wooden bucket and an old gourd scoop in the other hand, and went to the small thatched hut in the east of Xiyuan to scoop and eat.
