Chapter 38 Finding Delicious Ingredients

Ji Wan wondered: "Live to be old, learn to be old, you are only eighteen or nineteen, why can't you learn?" ”

"That's it, that's it, I'm older than you, and I'm still studying medicine from Master."

Gu Yiping, who had just woken up and came to find Ji Wan, hurriedly made his position stand after hearing everyone's arguments.

"But I'm so old, I'm going to go to the enlightenment class with Da Zhuang and Tiger Head......"

Ji Wan thought about the picture, Xie Xianhua, who was 1.77 meters tall, was sitting in a group of small beans, shaking his head and reciting the three-character scripture......

She pursed her lips and tried to hold back a smile.

Suddenly, Qiangzi helped the old lady and took the child and walked over.

"Ji Xuan." He looked at Ji Wan gratefully, and a thousand words were only gathered into one sentence: "Thank you." ”

Ji Wan shook her head and smiled, thinking of going all the way to Zhihua Mansion, Qiangzi worked hard and did things steadfastly.

His family's fish were all poisoned, he didn't complain, he only thought about how to earn money to subsidize the family, which was steady, tenacious and responsible.

Ji Wan thought about it and said.

"This time, I can only pay you some of the labor fees for making fish, although it is much less than everyone, but there are many opportunities to make money in the future."

The old lady of Qiangzi clutched fifteen taels of silver, and a broad smile appeared on her face.

"That's a lot, we can't save more than fifteen taels of silver a year."

Qiangzi heard Ji Wan's extra voice......

Ji Wan will take him to earn silver in the future!!

He clenched his fists and clenched his fists in excitement, trying to control himself, and was so excited that he wanted to jump.

Qiangzi thought about it, bowed solemnly to Ji Wan, and then got up to help the old lady lead her son, and walked home briskly.

Gu Yiping looked at the back of Qiangzi in the distance, touched his chin, and said secretly, it seems that Brother Qiangzi is going to be lucky.

……

When the silver was finally released, Village Chief Bai came over and asked Ji Wan.

"Girl, do you think we should keep Bi Gongzi and them, and then leave after eating?"

Ji Wan knew that the village chief wanted to buy and sell flavored dried fish for a long time with Bi Wuchang.

In this way, everyone's life can be prosperous.

She agreed.

However, the production process of flavored dried fish is too cumbersome, and all you earn is hard money.

Ji Wan doesn't plan to do it again next year.

Ji Wan groaned: "Why don't I go and ask them, do you want to stay and eat?" ”

Village Chief Bai nodded busily.

"I also have an old hen with some eggs and a piece of bacon at home, so that I can pick some fresh vegetables in the vegetable patch."

After that, he hurriedly urged Ji Wan and Xie Xianhua.

"Let Xie San accompany you, it's not too early, you go and ask."

Ji Wan had no choice but to go with Xie Xianhua.

They came to Bi Wu and Xin Zixing, and Ji Wan went straight to the point: "The village chief wants to keep you for dinner, do you want to stay?" ”

"Eat?"

Bi Wu thought about it in surprise, stared at Ji Wan and asked, "Are you in charge of cooking?" ”

Ji Wan was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought that in the cellar of the Xie family, as well as in her space, there were piles of tomatoes like a hill, and they were not processed.

Maybe make some dishes and take the opportunity to sell them some?

She hooked her lips and smiled, and replied, "Okay, I'll be in charge of the kitchen." ”

Xie Xianhua suddenly looked at Ji Wan with strange eyes, you used to go into the kitchen, but you almost ordered the kitchen!

Ji Wan laughed dryly, there is something in my memory.

Her voice was weak: "That's the kitchen where I didn't want to cook and deliberately burned it......"

Although it was the original owner who did this, this pot, whether she wanted it or not, now had to carry it.

Bi Wu and Xin Zixing's eyes widened, and they couldn't help but look at Ji Wan again.

Is the person they are talking about the same person as Ji Wan in front of them?

Ji Wan was slightly embarrassed, and asked angrily, "Do you want to stay for dinner?" If you don't want to stay, leave quickly. ”

Xin Zixing had already heard from Lan Yi that Ji Wan was showing off her cooking skills in the Star Picking Building.

It is said that the aroma of the hot pot is mouth-watering, and when the lid of the hot pot is lifted, he can hear the spectacular 'grunt' sound of almost everyone swallowing in unison.

Just listening to Lan Yi's description, Xin Zixing was already hungry.

Now that Ji Wan has promised to make food, how can he leave?

"I guess Cousin Bi wants to leave, and I'll stay." Xin Zixing directly sold Bi Wu.

Bi Wu Yanya: "Who said I wanted to leave?" Don't think that if you're hurt, I can't hit you, huh? ”

Ji Wan ignored the quarrel between the cousins, and thought about it, to clean up a table that could be handled, it was not enough to rely on the old hens, eggs, and vegetables of the village chief's house.

Gotta get some ...... they haven't eaten.

She said to Xie Xianhua: "You greet them, I'll take Da Zhuang and Hutou to get some food." ”

Xie Xianhua didn't think much about it, thinking that Ji Wan was going to take her two nephews to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

He nodded: "Then you go, I'll take them to the house." ”

Saying goodbye to Xin Zixing and the others, Ji Wan told the head of the village Bai that Bi Wu and the others would stay and eat at Xie's house.

Village Chief Bai pondered, since Ji Wan took over this matter, it means that he knows it in his heart and is busy.

"Old hens, eggs, and vegetables, I'll ask your Aunt Zheng to send them to you later."

Ji Wan thought about it, the Xie family did not have many ingredients, and after thanking her, she should go to find a few children.

She found Xie Dazhuang, Hutou and Xiaohua who were catching grasshoppers by the haystack not far away.

"Auntie." After several children saw Ji Jing, they hurriedly greeted her.

Ji Wan walked over and saw that the grasshoppers they had caught were strung into long strings with the grass stems of the dog's tail grass.

She saw that there were already seven or eight strings of grasshoppers in their hands, and she immediately asked in surprise, "You caught so many?" ”

"Give it to the chickens." Xie Xiaohua's voice was soft and glutinous.

In Ji Wan's mind, several pictures suddenly flashed.

The two chickens of the Xie family were brought back by the original owner from the Ji family and tricked the three children into raising them for her.

The original owner planned to wait for the chickens to grow up and take them to the county to exchange for a box of rouge.

The three children thought that they would be able to eat meat when they were raised, and they were particularly dedicated to raising chickens.

Every day, I diligently find worms to feed the chickens, and now the two chicks have been raised to the size of a fist.

A grasshopper with a green body and well-developed hind limbs jumped over, and she quickly grabbed it and handed it to the small flowers that were stringing grasshoppers.

"Auntie is so tired!" Xie Xiaohua's eyes lit up.

Ji Wan rubbed her head and said softly.

"Xiaohua is also so good, when the chicks grow up, the chicken legs are for Xiaohua to eat, but now the chicks are too small to eat so many grasshoppers, can you take me to catch loaches?"

"Loaches?" Xie Dazhuang frowned: "That thing is too fishy, no one eats it, what are you catching it for?" ”

"Don't worry, my aunt knows how to make it delicious, and these grasshoppers can also be delicious!"

"Can we eat grasshoppers too?"

Xiaohua and Hutou were forgetful, and they didn't remember being bullied by their original bodies, so they asked curiously around Ji Wan.

Xie Dazhuang's expression was grim, every time my aunt smiled at them before, and then they were all kinds of bad luck!

He vigilantly pulled his younger brother and sister: "You want loaches, I'll take you." ”

Ji Wan looked at Xie Dazhuang, who was like a little adult, with a small face, and smiled slightly.

She believes that as long as she is good enough to them, Xie Dazhuang will let down her guard sooner or later.

The four of them went home to get the bamboo basket, Ji Wan grabbed the rice bran, fried the rice bran as fast as possible and added a few drops of spiritual spring water, mixed it into a ball, and brought flints, dustpans, ropes, and sacks out of the house.

Xie Dazhuang led Ji Wan out of the door and walked for half a pillar of incense, pointed to a ditch and said, "When I arrived, there are a lot of loaches here." ”

Ji Wan took a look at the environment, the water flow was slow, the aquatic plants were abundant, there were pores in the mud, and there were indeed loaches.

She left a rice bran dumpling and put the rest in a bamboo basket.

The exit of the bamboo basket is made of small rattan, which is fine and dense, leaving only a very small entrance, and then throwing the bamboo basket into the ditch.

She clapped her hands, "Let's go, let's go grab something else." ”

The three little ones had an unbelievable look on their faces, thinking that the little aunt was teasing them!

Don't you have to pull up your trousers and touch them in the water to catch loaches?

Da Zhuang quietly tugged at the corners of his younger siblings' clothes and gave them a look to shut up.

Tiger Head and Little Flower immediately covered their mouths and giggled.

Ji Wan saw the three little ones and wanted to see her embarrassing little movements.

She hooked her lips slightly, and added Lingquan's open bait, how could it be overturned? Wait for the barrel to burst!

"Let's go catch sparrows." Ji Wan commanded Xie Dazhuang to lead the way.

Xie Dazhuang watched Ji Juan's experience of catching loaches, and he didn't have any hope that Ji Jie could catch sparrows.

And recently, there are a lot of bugs and wild fruits, and it is even more difficult to catch sparrows that are not hungry.

He led Ji Wan to a meadow at the foot of the mountain, with large grass seeds: "There are a lot of sparrows here. ”

Ji Wan looked up at the nearby trees, there were really a lot of sparrow nests.

She found an open space, propped up a corner of the dustpan with branches, buckled it upside down on the ground, tied a thin hemp rope to the branches, and took out the last rice bran ball.

Ji Wan crushed the rice bran dumplings with her hands, sprinkled them in the upside-down dustpan, held the hemp rope, beckoned to the three little ones, and whispered.

"Let's go and hide in the grass a little farther away."

The three little ones were infected by the atmosphere created by Ji Wan, and they all relaxed their steps and followed Ji Wan to lie down in the grass not far away.

The surroundings were quiet.

A gust of wind sent away the aroma of rice bran one after another.

The sparrows on the branches began to lose their standing and flew low altitude.

After several temptations, they saw that no human appeared, and finally they got emboldened and jumped over the half-buttoned dustpan.

The chirping of sparrows became more and more sound, squeezing into the half-buttoned dustpan and competing to peck at the rice bran.

The three little ones lying next to Ji Wan were already stunned!

Ji Wan raised her index finger, stuck it to her lips, gently 'shh

The branches were suddenly torn apart!

The half-inverted dustpan is completely depleted!!

"Flapping-" The sound startled the birds around.

There was a fierce fluttering of wings in the dustpan.

Is this caught? Xie Dazhuang and Xie Hutou were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Ahh Greasy! Auntie caught a lot! ”

Xie Xiaohua, who was blushing, jumped up happily and cheered.

Ji Wan smiled at the corner of her mouth and touched Xie Xiaohua's head.

"Let's go, let's go and tie up the sparrows, let's catch them a few more times, and go back to make fragrant meat for Xiaohua."

Xie Xiaohua was so saliva that almost overflowed the corners of her mouth when she heard it.

She looked at Ji Wan admiringly, and nodded heavily: "You have to do a lot of it!" ”

"Wait for me, wait for me, I'll go too!" The tiger head who had just returned to his senses immediately rebelled and became strong.

Xie Dazhuang: ......

When the four of them came out of the grass seed field, the sack Ji Wan was carrying contained no less than eighty sparrows.

Xie Dazhuang looked at Ji Wan again, and while being vigilant, he had more admiration and more expectations.

He took the initiative to ask, "Auntie, what else are we going to catch?" ”

The smile on Ji Wan's face increased.

"Do you know where there is a wild honeycomb?"

Wild honeycomb?

Xie Dazhuang's face changed greatly: "Are we going to poke the honeycomb?" If you are stung by wild bees, you will die! ”
