Chapter 198: Picnic (2)
"By the way, eldest sister, what is an orange?" Wen Hao asked while pouring water into the gourd.
"It's a wild olive with feather-like leaves, and the round fruit grows under the little leaves. Wild ones can be found in many mountains. Li Xin explained to Wen Hao with a smile.
"That's it! It seems that we have it in the back mountain, but the taste is sour and astringent, and no one wants to pick it to eat. I didn't expect it to be sweet after eating the mandarin orange and then drinking the water! Wen Hao was also surprised.
"Mandarin oranges are actually not very delicious when eaten raw, but they are delicious when they have been soaked. After picking it, wash it, soak it in salted water, add sugar and licorice to it, and soak it for a longer time to remove the bitter taste. When the color of the bubble changes, you can take it out and eat it. Or take it out and eat it, or put in a variety of condiments and mix it, the taste is very good. β
Li Xin said and remembered his previous life, his hometown in his previous life, there were also a lot of wild mandarins on the mountain, and when it came to autumn and winter or early spring of the following year, he could pick mandarins and come back to soak. Wait for the big summer to fish it out. Mixed with condiments, the taste is really unforgettable.
There are many wild mandarins and duoyi fruits in my hometown, and some xuan papaya is planted at home, so every year, there will be a lot of oil oranges, xuan papaya and duoyi fruit at home, which are all delicious. I haven't eaten it for several years, and since there are mandarin oranges on the hill in the village, when they are ripe, I should pick some and come back to eat them.
"You can still eat like this! Then when the oranges are ripe this year, let's pick them and soak them! β
Soon, the two of them filled the gourds they had brought with them with water, and then walked back. Wenbo and the others are still waiting for water to drink!
Back at the place, everyone didn't seem to have regained their strength. Ling Feifei was lying on the ground, looking at that as if she was about to fall asleep. It seems that the daughter of a rich family really can't be compared with the children who are used to the wild in the village, if the children in the countryside run around all day long, even on the mountain, although they are running, just climbing the mountain, it is really nothing.
"Let's drink some water first!" Li Xin greeted everyone with a smile, Caixia had already taken the bowl out of the carriage, and Li Xin poured out the water in the gourd, poured it into a bowl and distributed it to everyone to drink. It is very inappropriate for everyone to drink water from a gourd, so let's use a bowl for each!
Everyone drank the water and finally came to their senses. Let Ling Feifei rest on the side first, and Mama Zhong will also take care of her. Li Xin took the adults and started to build tents. I brought a total of two tents, although there were not many, but fortunately, the tents were relatively large, and it was no problem to accommodate them.
Li Xin found a place a little higher and prepared to set up a tent. The tent should not be set up on a slope, as it is easy to slide down, and if it rains, the rain will flow down the slope into the tent. In low-lying places, there will also be water problems, although it is only for two days here, it may not rain, but you should always think more carefully.
It's best to find a place that's a little higher and flat.
After finding a location, everyone hurriedly set up their tents. After setting up the tent, Li Xin took everyone around the area, some of them complicatedly looking for dry branches to make firewood, and some people hugged some dry leaves.
The climate in the south is relatively humid, and if you sleep directly on the ground in the humidity, it will definitely be bad for your surroundings. But when you come out to play, no one will bring a bed, so it's not a move. Therefore, Li Xin thought of finding some dry leaves to put on the ground, and then put a mat on it, and then put a mattress on it, and spread a sheet to sleep.
In the mountains, dry leaves are naturally easy to find, and you can pick up a good number of them casually. After finding enough dried leaves, Li Xin led everyone to start making the bed.
After making the bed, seeing that Ling Feifei still looked weak, Li Xin wanted Ling Feifei to rest in the tent. Ling Feifei must have never been so tired, and suddenly when she came, Li Xin was really afraid of making people sick. Since she brought Ling Feifei out of the Ling family, she naturally had to take care of Ling Feifei, otherwise there was really no way to explain to the people of the Ling family.
Before coming, the tent had been arranged, Li Xin took a few younger brothers and sisters to live in a tent, and Ling Feifei's master and servant lived in a tent with Caiyun and Caixia. The tent is relatively large, if you want a private space, you can also get a piece of cloth to separate a small space of your own.
"Miss, the fourth miss will be fine, right?" Caixia asked Li Xin with some concern.
"It shouldn't be anything, I'm just tired! Now Mama Zhong is taking care of it! If Fei Fei really felt unwell, Mama Zhong would definitely say it. However, you can also help to see, if there is really something bad, you must sue me in time. Li Xin was also worried about Ling Feifei's body now, thinking that the Tiger Mountain was not a very tall mountain, and it was not a difficult thing to go from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain.
I didn't expect that Ling Feifei's body was so bad! Yueting climbed up the mountain at such a young age. Although I was very tired at first, after a short rest, I was alive and well, and I had already followed Wenbo to collect firewood.
It seems that good bodies are exercised, although Yueting and they don't exercise all day, but they always run around the countryside, and their bodies are great. Since she came home, she has been teaching a few younger siblings five poultry plays every day, just hoping that their health has always been good.
"Miss, don't worry! The slave will definitely take a good look at the fourth lady, and once something happens, the slave will do her best to tell Miss SΓΉ. Caixia smiled and assured.
"With you looking at Fei Fei, I'm relieved." Li Xin smiled. Hongyu and Luzhu are still young and playful, and only Mama Zhong is a relatively appropriate person by Ling Feifei's side. With Caixia helping to take care of Ling Feifei, she is more at ease. Originally, when she came out to play, she hoped that Ling Feifei would be happy, but if she made Ling Feifei sick, she would really feel a little guilty.
Caixia went to look at Ling Feifei, and Li Xin also followed Wenbo to collect firewood. If you want to live in the wilderness, you still have to prepare a little more firewood, and you are not worried about the cold, and there may really be wild beasts or something in the mountains, and it will be safer to keep burning the fire at night.
There are many people and great strength, but it didn't take long to pick up a lot of firewood.
And at this time, it's time to prepare lunch. Li Xin took out all the things he brought, and this time he went up the mountain, but he also brought a lot of food. There are rice, and there are many materials for barbecue.
The first meal when he came out to play, Li Xin thought that it was to make a barbecue, and everyone happily ate a meal. There are a lot of people, and after a meal, there should be no food left, and next, I have to find some food in the mountains. The ingredients for the barbecue are all packed up on the Zhuangzi, washed and cut, and skewered with slender bamboo skewers. So, I don't have to deal with it.
Li Xin asked Yuexiang to help light the fire first, and she took the rice to the stream to wash it. Now Ling Feifei seems to be uncomfortable, it's better not to eat barbecue casually, so she thought about cooking some lean porridge, fortunately, she wanted to barbecue, but she brought some lean meat.
Soon the rice was washed and returned to the station, and the moon incense had already burned the fire. Li Xin took some lean meat and began to cook lean porridge, and asked Yuexiang to help watch it. On the other side, there was another fire, and the barbecue grill had been set up, so Li Xin began to be busy barbecuing.
The barbecue was quick, and it didn't take long for the enticing aroma to come out. Except for Mama Zhong and Caixia who took care of Ling Feifei, the others all gathered around.
"It smells so good! Sister, can you eat it? Wen Hao watched from the side, his saliva was about to flow out, and his eyes were shining.
"Come on, wait a minute! Why are you in such a hurry! Li Xin glared at Wen Hao, and his hands were busy without pause. While roasting, the prepared condiments are brushed on the other, and the aroma is really attractive.
Speaking of which, she hasn't eaten a barbecue since she came into this world! This is also the first time I think of making a barbecue, the long-lost fragrance, so familiar, so fragrant, really intoxicating. Soon it was baked, and she served them one by one to the plate that she felt on the side.
Wen Hao and the others hurriedly started eating, seeing that everyone was eating happily, Li Xin was also very happy. I have worked so hard, that is, I hope that my family can live well and be happy.
"The eldest sister eats it too." Yueting held a skewer of barbecue to Li Xin's mouth, and began to let Li Xin eat it too. Li Xin also started to eat it with Yueting's hand, it tasted very good, and it seemed to be even better than what he had eaten in his previous life. Although there is not much seasoning, it is already delicious in such a simple way.
Everyone here was eating skewers, and Yuexiang took some and sent them to the tent for Mama Zhong and Caixia to eat. Mama Zhong and Caixia have been taking care of Ling Feifei and don't dare to move an inch.
However, it didn't take long for the moon incense to come out again, and the skewers on the plate did not decrease.
"What? Don't you like to eat? Li Xin asked.
Mama Zhong said that the master hadn't eaten yet, how could she eat first. Mama Zhong didn't eat it, and Sister Caixia wouldn't eat it first. Yuexiang handed the plate to Wen Hao, looking a little depressed.
"If you don't eat it, don't eat it yet! It's not a big deal, let's eat first! Fei Fei's porridge is not good yet, but it is also happy, and after a while, Fei Fei will be able to eat. "Mama Zhong's stubbornness, Li Xin knows it, so he won't say anything. Mama Zhong and Caixia took care of Ling Feifei in one place, Ling Feifei didn't eat, and Mama Zhong didn't eat first. And Caixia is not as good as Mama Zhong in terms of qualifications! Naturally, it's not good to start first. R1152
