Chapter 11: Ascending the Mountain (3)
quickly packed up the things, and the mother and son walked all the way to the depths of the mountains and forests, although Liu Huairan's speed was much faster because of cultivation, but it was still unbearable compared to An Ruyi. It would be nice to have a divine talisman.
As a result, An Ruyi missed the closed storage room in Ruyi's residence more and more. I'm about to have a grudge, when will I be able to open those rooms? Although it is also possible to refine some low-level elixirs and talismans during the foundation building period, many materials have to be found slowly.
The desire to further open Ruyiju is stronger, and improving cultivation is the key, for the sake of future generations, An Ruyi feels that he can no longer be as inattentive to cultivation as he is in the first life. Sure enough, there is a desire to be motivated.
As you go deeper into the mountains, the number of precious herbs and ferocious animals begins to increase. An Ruyi had no intention of hunting too many large prey, and he couldn't tell what was the use of bringing back more prey. Therefore, in order to trouble, as soon as I found out that there was a big prey, I directly released it with a coercion, and those kings of the mountains and forests who were used to walking sideways on weekdays, such as the big tiger, the blind bear, the lion, and the wild wolves in packs, and other ferocious animals were instantly cowardly, lying on the ground and shivering, and as soon as An Ruyi's mother and son left, they immediately rushed back to their caves and did not dare to stay outside.
Even so, there is bad luck, a big tiger who had just hunted a doe was punched in the head by An Ruyi before he had time to enjoy the feast, and he directly changed the owner of the trophy.
After hunting five or six fat rabbits, a dozen pheasants with more than fifty eggs, and a live blue-eared kingfisher, the sky gradually darkened.
An Ruyi first sent Liu Huairan to Ruyiju to accompany her sister. In fact, Ruyi Curie Liu Yue had already woken up, and she was not afraid of unfamiliar places, and she was very happy to play on the spacious stepping bed. An Ruyi noticed it as early as when she woke up, and saw that she didn't make a fuss and didn't pay attention to her, and let her have fun by herself.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, An Ruyi quickly set up a simple stove outside and stuffed a pot of rice, cleaned up a rabbit, made stewed rabbit meat, and finally boiled a pot of mushroom soup. With the cooked food, he also entered the Ruyi House to greet his son and daughter to eat.
After eating, An Ruyi and Liu Huairan played with Liu Yue for a long time, and finally fell asleep when she couldn't stay up anymore. Send Liu Huairan to cultivate again. Cultivators don't need to sleep at all, because cultivation itself is better than sleeping and resting.
Taking advantage of her free time, An Ruyi counted today's harvest: in the afternoon, she found a thousand-year-old ginseng and a six-hundred-year-old ginseng, of course, digging it first.
Now, in addition to those in Snake Valley, there are four ready-made ginseng sticks, one for 100 years, one for 300 years, one for 600 years, and one for 1,000 years. These ginseng An Ruyi has no intention of selling, this kind of priceless treasure is extremely handy whether it is kept at home or given away in the future.
In addition to ginseng, I also picked some reishi mushrooms in the afternoon. I caught more than a dozen scorpions, because I remembered that scorpions can be used in medicine, and I happened to meet them, so I simply caught them and sold them to the medicine shop for silver.
More than 30 snakes of different sizes can also be sold in some drug delivery stores, and it is not good to shoot too many in one go, so you still have to hide a little.
Well, the scorpion also left some, anyway, it can't be broken in Ruyiju, and the one that is kept can be sold slowly depending on the situation. The snake can also be boiled directly, and it is also good to eat snake soup. An Ruyi touched her chin and felt that it was safer for her to take her time.
It's good to keep the monkey wine and beehive for yourself, but you can take out a little honey and give it to Liu Rong. As for the rabbits and pheasants, it is not suitable to take them out in one go. When the time comes, give Liu Rong a rabbit and two pheasants, and then take two more and sell them.
Alas, there are too many things missing at home, and there is a lack of money. But in the eyes of outsiders, they are weak up and down, and none of them can hold up the door, if they rashly take out these things in one breath, it will really arouse suspicion, and it is too eye-catching, no different from a little baby holding gold to swagger through the market.
How can you get something out of your way without arousing suspicion and, most importantly, without attracting annoying people who want a piece of the pie?
An Ruyi sat in the small courtyard of Ruyiju, watching the harvest of the yard, and fell into deep thought.
town.
The atmosphere at the Jiang family's dinner table was silent as always, and Father Jiang was probably the only one in the family who sat on the top and was not affected in the slightest, silently eating his own meal, and occasionally he was able to hold two chopsticks and meat dishes freely.
Mother Jiang sat on his left hand, eating and not forgetting to pay attention to the others, there was a deep look in her eyes, and below her sat her eldest grandson Jiang Jianwen and second grandson Jiang Yiwen. Opposite her, there are sons Jiang Zijie, daughter-in-law Liu Rong, and granddaughter Jiang Fang.
There are three dishes on the table, a plate of fried dried eggplant with shredded pork, although the shredded meat is only a little, and it is almost invisible, but it is also a meat dish, compared to other people in the town who have not been stained with meat for several months, it is already very remarkable that their family can eat it every once in a while, and such a big dish is naturally to be placed in front of Jiang's father; In the center of a plate is a crispy pickled radish, shredded into shreds, which is also a small plate. It is a regular dish at home. In addition, it is a plate of greens.
When eating meat, Jiang's mother did not hold much by herself, but helped to put it into the bowls of her son and two grandsons. As for the daughter-in-law and granddaughter? Jiang's mother said that she ignored it, her sons and grandsons were not enough to eat, shouldn't her daughter-in-law be virtuous and save that bite? As for the granddaughter, it's just a girl, and she has to be grateful if she has something to eat, and she still wants to eat meat?
Not to mention the meat, but there are too many greens and shredded radish, and Jiang Mu's eyes and knives are sharp.
Sons and grandsons help to pick up the meat?
Look at the son who was instigated by his daughter-in-law, only to know that the daughter-in-law forgot her mother, and the daughter-in-law was unfilial.
didn't teach her grandchildren well, didn't know how to honor her grandparents, can such a daughter-in-law teach her children and grandchildren well, this is a greater unfilial piety.
What does an unfilial daughter-in-law do when she goes home and gets it?
……
After a few tosses, the atmosphere at the dinner table became extraordinarily solemn. Everyone almost quietly ate the wild vegetable porridge in front of them, especially Liu Rong and Jiang Fang, who even had very few shredded radishes on weekdays.
The wild vegetable porridge is also very thin, that is, a bowl of water with vegetables and rice grains floating in it. But as men who eat a lot, the porridge will be a little thicker.
Liu Rong is also unwilling to make the family restless at the dinner table in order to fight for a bite to eat, and often comforts her husband and children to follow her mother-in-law's wishes at the dinner table. The husband and son should go, but if they have the opportunity to get anything outside, they will leave a copy for her and her daughter in private. The daughter is also well-behaved, listens to her, and looks very indifferent to her grandmother's partiality.
Seeing that her husband is considerate and her children are filial and considerate, Liu Rong said that it is normal for her mother-in-law to be eccentric, and it is good that she will not deliberately abuse and scold her in addition to hoping that she will work more and eat less.
Of course, mother-in-law also has reasonable times, such as during the New Year's holidays, she and her daughter will still be allowed to eat more delicious food.
So the family can still get along happily together.
Today, as usual, Liu Rong calmly ate the porridge in her bowl, seeing that the bottom of the bowl was about to be empty, and when dinner was about to end, Leng Buding heard Jiang's mother's extremely unhappy voice sound.
"How can there be so much less money this month?"
Jiang's mother had a gloomy face, although she said it to her son Jiang Zijie, the knife was viciously thrown at her daughter-in-law Liu Rong's body, and the small amount of money may be coaxed by her daughter-in-law to her mother's house.
"A large family of people eat, wear, and chew all point to your monthly silver, even if it is to subsidize outsiders, it depends on their own situation, and they all say that it is urgent not to help the poor. You can't just take your mother's life to fill the holes in other people's homes. In the past, the family was saved and saved to be enough. Now that there is a whole tael of silver missing, how can I live this life? Do you want your father and son to drink the northwest wind with you? ”
Liu Rong chuckled in her heart, raised her eyes to look at her husband, and lowered her head silently, she knew what was going on, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to be silent.
