Chapter 221: Wild Vegetables
As soon as the precedent of these long-term workers for grain was opened, Song Chen simply asked Liufu to inform the subordinates in Zhuangzi that if there was anyone who wanted to convert their wages into food, they could do it for them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, all the people in the Zhuangzi who received wages said that they were going to change it for food.
Then, I started plowing the ground and planting vegetables.
Song Chen and Su Miao have stayed in Zhuangzi for this time, and they haven't been on the mountain for a while. In addition to Zhuangzi, Xiaobai's favorite place to go is the other side of the mountain. Unfortunately, there is still water on the road that has not receded, and it runs around the mountains every day, and every time it has to run to see where the water has receded. As soon as the road to the mountain was dry, Xiaobai asked Song Chen and Su Miao to accompany it up the mountain.
Su Miao accompanied Song Chen every day to either play chess or drink tea, she was tired of it, and she was trying to stretch her muscles and bones, but she couldn't show her fists and feet in Zhuangzi, so she just pulled Song Chen up the mountain to practice.
Song Chen felt that his internal strength had increased a lot recently, and he had already had the intention of trying it with Su Miao. His ambition since he was a child was to protect Su Miao and walk the rivers and lakes together, which is why he is so keen on martial arts.
When he met Su Miao again in Tairu Villa two years ago, he found that the other party's kung fu had surpassed him, which made him a little regretful while being happy. It's not that he regrets that Su Miao's kung fu is higher than himself, but that he regrets that he is lagging behind her, and this regret also makes him subconsciously want to express himself more when he encounters the enemy. Then he had Lin Jin take him under his door and teach him kung fu personally, for which he paid unprecedented focus and effort, and his moves and internal strength were steadily increasing, which made him feel a lot more down-to-earth. He is a man, even if he doesn't have the heart to compete with Su Miao, but there will be hurdles that he can't get over - if his martial arts are not as good as Su Miao, then how can he protect her?
This fact makes Song Chen never slack off on his practice no matter when. And since Su Miao woke up in Xiao Jingyu, she has put more focus on planting medicine and medication. Between this advance, fast and slow, Song Chen is very hopeful of surpassing her.
In order to avoid being disturbed, they went directly to the depths after going up the mountain, and after letting Xiaobai go to free activities, they jumped up and stood on the canopy, let go of their hands and feet, and started to move their hands.
In the past, if Su Miao was forced by Song Chen in his moves, he would use his advantage to rush to the sky. The foundation of Qingyunbu is internal strength, anyway, Song Chen's internal strength is not as good as her, even if there are more moves, at this time, you can only look at her and sigh! But this time, this trick was not good, Su Miao found that no matter how high she scurried, Song Chen could follow her closely and follow her like a shadow. This mountain is already a lot higher than the surrounding area, and the two of them are moving their hands on the canopy of the tree, which is then moving into the sky, not only can they see the surrounding fields and Zhuangzi, but also the people who are working in the fields on the side of Baiyun Villa or those who are clearing the fields next to them after the water recedes and look up inadvertently, but also see the depths of the mountain, there are two lights and shadows in the forest, sometimes entangled together, sometimes bounced apart......
This vision made many people stop and discuss. However, Song Chen and Su Miao's movements were too fast, and the distance was far away, if it weren't for Song Chen and Su Miao both wearing dark clothes, they wouldn't even be able to see light and shadow.
However, Song Chen and Su Miao noticed those who were watching their battle, and they had a good time anyway, so Su Miao took the initiative to stop and pulled Song Chen to the ground: "Ah Chen, your internal strength is progressing rapidly!" ”
After this incisive competition, Song Chen finally confirmed that his internal strength could already tie with Su Miao, and he couldn't hide his happiness on his face: "I can protect you in the future!" The question he had been obsessed with was finally so reasonable.
"Yes! Be! Su Miao was not so obsessed with this question, "Isn't it always you who have been fighting back from the enemy!" For her, the advantage of learning martial arts is not that she can often do it with others, but that she can win when she has to do it. So if she can't do it, she doesn't want to do it.
Song Chen isn't the kind of person who is aggressive either, but he believes in this saying - when you're strong enough, your enemies disappear before you know it!
He has to be strong all the time, as long as he is strong enough, to protect the people he wants to protect.
Song Chen didn't care about Su Miao's ridicule, and took her hand to find Xiaobai: "I'm so hungry!" Shall we have a barbecue in the woods at noon? ”
"Okay!" They have been fighting for more than an hour, and they have been using light skills all the time, and their physical strength is still very strong, and Su Miao also feels a little hungry.
When they walked under the tree where they usually put their prey, there were already more than a dozen hares at that time, because they knew that the time that could be stored after biting the prey to death was not long, and when they went to catch the prey alone, Xiaobai would choose the hare that could be stunned with one palm. But at this point it is not there.
Su Miao took out the jade flute that Lin Jin gave them on Song Chen's birthday and played a short section. Although the sound that can occur in this flute is not large, Su Miao used internal force, and the distance of this sound in all directions is very far.
Song Chen and Su Miao took out the rope and tied up the faint hares one by one, and after a while, Xiaobai appeared with a gray hare in his mouth.
As usual, Song Chen took the rabbit to the creek to disembowel and disembowel it to clean up, and Su Miao and Xiaobai went to pick up dead branches.
After Su Miao left for more than a quarter of an hour, she came back with a bundle of dry branches, and a bag of things wrapped in a cloth towel in her hand. She threw the firewood aside, took the things in her hand in front of Song Chen and opened it to him: "Ah Chen, look at what this is?" ”
What Su Miao was holding in her hand were more than a dozen tall small mushroom umbrellas that had not yet been opened, and Song Chen raised his eyebrows: "Mushrooms? ”
"That's right!" Su Miao took the mushroom and soaked it in the stream a few times to clean the floating dust that might be on it, "There are a lot of them over there!" The one I picked is the willow pine mushroom, and there are a lot of boreus mushrooms, white snow mushrooms, etc., all of which are varieties that taste very good! ”
"Why don't I take care of the fire and pick some more?" Song Chen is empathetic and authentic.
"Good! Pick a little more, and it can be used for stewed soup or cooking even when it is dried! Su Miao said excitedly, picking a lot of long reeds by the stream and weaving a straw basket. I learned this from the people in Zhuangzi.
When Song Chen had finished roasting the rabbits and was thinking about asking Xiaobai (originally Xiaobai was also going to follow, but Su Miao urged it to trample on the mushrooms and break it, but let it stay and watch the barbecue) to call someone, Su Miao appeared with a willow pine mushroom full of grass baskets.
"There are too many mushrooms...... Su Miao said excitedly, "Tomorrow I will bring a few people from the Zhuangzi over and pick them all, these are God's gifts, don't waste them!" ”
"Good!" This kind of thing has always been what Su Miao says, Song Chen followed her words, and cut a small piece of tender rabbit meat with a dagger and sent it to Su Miao's mouth, "Taste it." ”
Su Miao naturally opened her mouth to catch the rabbit meat, and nodded while chewing. The hare that Song Chen picked was good, not too fat or too thin, and the taste was just right.
Song Chen also tasted it himself, and they had also eaten the fresh roasted hare for a while, and they felt tender and fragrant for a while. Seeing that Su Miao's piece was almost finished, he cut a small piece and handed it over.
Su Miao waved her hand while taking it: "Ah Chen, I'll do it myself......" Those willow pine mushrooms just now she told Song Chen to put them in the belly of the rabbit, she took out her dagger and flicked it, and the mushroom that had absorbed the meat oil was picked out into a big leaf. She tasted it, it was really delicious, and she also fed one to Song Chen's mouth.
Song Chen chewed twice, and his eyes lit up. Su Miao smiled and asked him, "Fresh, right?" ”
Song Chen nodded.
Su Miao put the big leaf on the stone on the side, and then cut the meat on the hare's stomach for Song Chen to taste: "This position absorbs the juice of the willow pine mushroom, and it tastes the best!" ”
Two people and one beast, and soon wiped out the two rabbits. Song Chen and Su Miao were both very full, Xiao Bai added up to eat a rabbit, it said that it was still hungry, and Song Chen started to roast two more for it. While roasting, he looked at Xiaobai: "Xiaobai's amount of rice seems to be getting bigger and bigger......"
Xiaobai is not ashamed of this, but feels proud.
Returned to Zhuangzi with a string of hares, and saw Liufu carrying a basket at the door, Su Miao stopped him, told him about the situation in the forest, and asked him to arrange three or four people to come and go up the mountain with her tomorrow to pick mushrooms: "You don't need to adjust the labor, you can call a few daughters-in-law or children, Xiaobai will guard them, and there will be no danger." ”
The world is big, and now it's the biggest food. Lukfook immediately said there was no problem.
Su Miao wanted to hand the straw basket full of willow pine mushrooms in his hand to Luofu and let him take it to the kitchen, only to find that he was also carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, with several bundles of green grass on it, and couldn't help but be curious: "Liufu, what are you holding?" ”
"Oh, it's a wild vegetable!" Luofu grabbed a handful of things in the blue and showed them to Su Miao, "They found a lot of wild vegetables in the field under the orchard, you see, this is a noodle dish, this is a ground vegetable, and there are gray cabbage, bitter and bitter vegetables, which look like grass, but they are all edible!" I was just going to have someone pick it! ”
"Oh, is there any Pu Gongying?" Speaking of wild vegetables, Su Miao remembered this, "If there is, let them pick some by the way." ”
"No problem, I'll keep an eye on them!" As soon as he heard that Su Miao had designated it to eat, Luofu immediately paid attention to it.
On the second day, Su Miao and Xiaobai led people to carry baskets up the mountain to pick mushrooms, while Song Chen stayed in Zhuangzi. Last night, he received a flying pigeon from Lin Jiu and Lin Shi, saying that the surplus grain in the hands of the people in the city seemed to be running out, and more and more people went to the Feng'an grain store to ask when they would start selling grain, and he wanted to write to Lin Jin and Song Henghuan respectively, informing them that Lily of the Valley City and Sword Orchid City were ready to start selling grain.
