There is more than one mountain outside Qingquan Town, and in the mountains and forests to the south, the grass is abundant, and half a basket of wild vegetables can be found, which is only enough for the three of them to eat.

The river outside the town of Qingquan, which runs around the mountain, is crystal clear, and pebbles of different sizes show all kinds of colors on the fading shallows; Looking up, the high mountain on the opposite side is full of green trees, and occasionally, a few sparse willow trees are scattered and dotted.

"Girl, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for something to eat!"

Meng Fan, who took off his shoes and ran to the shallows of the river, raised the river mussel in his hand, threw it towards the river beach, and bent down again.

Xiaoyun bit her lip and tried to take a few steps towards the water's edge, she knew that she was looking for food, but how could an unmarried woman show her skin at will outside? If you let the uneasy and kind-hearted disciples take a look, then do you still want to be a man? It's been a long time since she's tried to play in the water so wantonly.

Getting closer, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Girl, come up, since the son sent you to my house, he will definitely let someone bring some food, and he won't leave you alone." ”

Meng Fan took a meal in his hand, rowed a few small river mussels and fish into the space, raised his body and turned around to take a look: "The food I found myself is more fragrant." She bent down and continued to reach out and feel around in the water.

sent her here in a hurry, it should be that Helian Yutian didn't want her to have contact with that little prince; As for the reason, she can think of it as the big brother who is afraid that her cold and arrogant nature will suffer in front of the powerful, and people have good intentions; not only took her out of the house, but also found her a quiet countryside accompanied by a female companion, where can it be made to make people feel that they want to take advantage of this opportunity to stick to it?

Besides, her original intention was to leave her father's sight and do what she had always wanted to do but couldn't do; The eldest brother should also know her temperament.

"That's it......" Xiaoyun pursed her lips, in front of Childe's little guest, she didn't dare to ask more, she could only follow the instructions of the person who came to bring Childe, and take good care of it: "But, I won't do ......"

She will cook the simplest food, cook rice, stir-fry a side dish for delivery or something, she knows how to eat this thing, but how to eat it in her mouth?

"I'll do it." Mengfan didn't raise his head and replied.

"Oh...... However, how bad is that, you are a guest of Childe. This girl Xiaoyun's expression was a little sluggish, thinking that it was a good thing to improve her food, but it was not good to let the child's guests do it.

"No matter who I am, I'm a girl, and I have to cook and stir-fry at home and do housework." In this statement, she is just stating a fact, and she really does not mean to dislike others for making them unpalatable.

"I know that I don't make a good meal, my brother will say me every time he eats my food, but ......"

"Okay, Sister Xiaoyun, I don't mean anything else, you can help me watch Bao'er on the shore, let him stay too far away from us, and be careful of falling into the river." This gentle but verbose girl had to be given something to do, or her nagging would make her think about whether or not to come out with her next time.

Xiao Yun glanced aggrievedly at the little figure who was busy in the river, Xiao Yun raised her eyes and looked, sure enough, the little boy ran far away, and there was a big dog running crazy behind him, the small body was shaking, this is by the river, how dangerous it is, I felt a sigh in my heart, and hurriedly chased after it.

No one was staring behind him, Meng Fan let out a light breath, moved his feet in the mud in the river water, walked a few steps, and continued.

Every time her little hand was raised, a mussel or snail was thrown onto the shore and stacked in one place.

When Xiaoyun caught Lan Bao'er back, far away, Mengfan's hands were raised from the water, and a half-sized carp appeared in Xiaoyun's sight, and the tail swayed left and right, throwing water droplets everywhere.

"Wow...... Girl, you're so good, you can even catch fish. Xiaoyun took Lan Bao'er's hand and ran over together, and hurriedly rushed to the water's edge, about to reach out to get it.

"Sister Xiaoyun, the fish will slip away, you go over there to find a long aquatic weed, pass through the gills of this fish, and carry it without fear of it slipping away." She was afraid, this Xiaoyun was a few years older than herself, but at first glance she was an ignorant master, in case the fish slipped into the water from her hand again, could she still tell someone that she caught another fish? After all, it's the serendipitous thing that is convincing.

"Okay, I'll go right away, you have to hold on." Xiaoyun quickly turned around and ran to the other side.

Half a morning passed like this, to be honest, this is a waste of time, but sometimes I feel that this is the life of life.

I was too lazy to move, so I asked Xiaoyun to send these things home, and she and Lan Bao'er sat by the river to watch the scenery.

I have to go and collect some dry firewood and come back, otherwise, the sashimi can be eaten, and the river mussels can't be eaten raw.

A lot of people is good, one person picks a branch, then it can also be a small bundle, seeing that this Xiaoyun girl is so old, she should be ready to find her mother-in-law's family, why is she still so unsure of planning to live? Is he dependent on his brother for everything?

At noon, she entered the kitchen amid Xiaoyun's uneasy look of biting her lips.

"Sister Xiaoyun, I'm here to light the fire, I have to cook these river mussels with their shells, and then take out the meat and slice it, you go to kill the fish, if you can't do it, go find the neighbor next door to help, Bao'er, go take out the small cloth bag in my baggage, take out the ginger and garlic inside, and peel a few cloves of garlic." Mengfan ordered things while burning the fire, she would do it, but her hands were bloody.

"Good!" The big and the young are very obedient, Xiaoyun has a smile on her face that she is about to eat food, and Lan Bao'er is also full of excitement.

I used it for a long time to brush the pot, and the suspicious objects on the iron pot were so thick that her little arms were sore before she had to give up, and I really admired this Xiaoyun girl, how did she do housework?

After the water boiled, the river mussels fed with water were poured into the pot, and the boiling water above the fire was blazing, and the river mussels gradually revealed their white meat, and they could not be boiled for a long time.

Fish out the river mussels with bamboo drains, soak them in cold water, cool them down, and then open the hard shell, take out the tender meat with white flowers inside, and let Xiaoyun find a way to get a few dollars of wine, which is an old bar.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the kitchen, he took a small jar of old salted kimchi from the space, scooped it up a few times with chopsticks, and made out a few red and green peppers, white radish strips and a few leaves that had changed color after a long pickle, and turned over the palm of his hand to make more than a dozen peppercorns.

The ingredients can't be too much, and they can't be less, and when everything is ready, Xiaoyun also came back from next door, carrying the slaughtered fish in her hand.

"Sister Xiaoyun, do you know how to slice fish? If not, I say, you can do it. ”

She's a little girl, and a little girl can't do a lot of things, but she can say.

"I won't...... You say, I'll try! ”

Fortunately, this girl cooperated, otherwise she would have to consider eating grilled fish instead of boiled fish.

Picking and washing the wild vegetables again, and when everything was ready, Mengfan asked Xiaoyun to go to the fire, she stood in front of the stove by herself, and tied a half-cut small apron made by herself.

Make a Sichuan-style boiled fish fillet first; The mussel meat has to be stir-fried with seasonings over high heat; Coupled with most of the bowls of wild vegetables, although this meal is still gruel, it is also meat and vegetarian, and the taste is also in your own mouth.

After lunch, Mengfan said that he would go for a walk at will and consume food; This time, Xiaoyun didn't follow.

Instead, he gave her the key, and hurried out of the village, saying that he was going to borrow an embroidery needle from a girl from one family in the village.
