Chapter 41: Sour Plum Soup

Luo Qinghe was so jolted by the dust shadow that he didn't slow down, and coughed for a long time before he barely grabbed the reins.

At this time, I saw Fang Shaoze suddenly walking quickly, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a kicked pheasant at the feet of the dust shadow.

Luo Qinghe knew at this time why Dust Shadow was so excited, and said in surprise: "You still hunt?" ”

But Luo Qinghe wasn't happy for long, and Granny Wen, who followed behind, hurriedly said, "No, young master!" I don't know how many monsters there are in this mountain, and now this pheasant appears here inexplicably, and it happens to be trampled by that horse...... It's really weird, you should throw it away! ”

Luo Qinghe had been suffering for several days because of the lack of meat, and now when he saw that Granny Wen was about to stop him again, he suddenly rolled his eyes, turned over and dismounted and was about to quarrel, but he saw Fang Shaoze hanging the pheasant under the carriage with a smile: "How can there be so many ghosts and gods?" It's just that the dust shadow happened to meet, just right, let's open the meat later. ”

Seeing that the pheasant's blue and black fur was stained with a little blood, glowing with a strange luster in the sun, Granny Wen was even more frightened with goosebumps, and hurriedly hid on the other side of the pheasant, saying, "Young master! This thing really can't be eaten, what if it's a monster in the mountains? ”

"Don't worry! I've eaten it before, and this pheasant has a different flavor. Fang Shaoze comforted.

Luo Qinghe suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "This pheasant is delicious, but it must not be hung under the car!" Otherwise, the smell of blood on this chicken will attract wolves, but what should I do? ”

Granny Wen was even more frightened when she heard this, and kept persuading Fang Shaoze to bury the pheasant.

But Fang Shaoze hadn't eaten meat for several days, and he was really reluctant to do it now, so he thought for a while, then took a cloth bag for vegetables and wrapped the pheasant and pressed it under the seat of the carriage.

Granny Wen saw that persuasion could not be achieved, so she could only give up.

However, Fang Shaoze's insistence on leaving the pheasant behind moved Dust Shadow: after all, it was the prey that Dust Shadow had worked so hard to find.

So since then, Dust Shadow has finally begun to respond to Fang Shaoze's overtures, and occasionally allows Fang Shaoze to ride around for a while.

Seeing that he finally got a response from the dust shadow, Fang Shaoze was very excited, touching the dust shadow and laughing and boasting.

In front of him, Luo Qinghe remembered a familiar story, and said with a smile: "This boss has finally opened his heart." ”

"Boss? Why do you call this horse the boss? Fang Shaoze wondered.

Idle left and right, Luo Qinghe smiled mysteriously, and began to tell the story: "A long, long time ago, there was a master who led four brothers to find treasures. The third child likes to nag, indecisive but down-to-earth: the fourth child does not say a word on weekdays, but he can make a shining appearance at critical moments. ”

"Do you mean to say that Dust Shadow is the boss, Granny Wen is the third, and you yourself are the fourth? But why didn't you mention the second child? ”

"Whew! The second child loves to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he is often taken care of. Luo Qinghe said, quietly glancing at Fang Shaoze.

"This second child is a happy one!" Fang Shaoze chuckled, but suddenly reacted: "No, could it be that you imply that the second child is me?" ”

Isn't he the only one of these four who doesn't do any work by himself, and takes two subordinates by his side to take care of himself all the way?

Seeing that Fang Shaoze finally reacted, Luo Qinghe laughed heartily and said in his heart: If Zhu Bajie is really as handsome as Fang Shaoze, then I am afraid that he can win Chang'e's heart when he goes to the Moon Palace, how can he be demoted to the mortal world and have the story of learning scriptures from the West?

But Fang Shaoze didn't know the deep meaning behind it, he just thought that Luo Qinghe was laughing at himself and waiting for others to serve, but seeing Luo Qinghe smiling so happily, he couldn't bear to spoil her interest, so he didn't care.

It's just that the two of them had a 'cordial and friendly' exchange, but Granny Wen on the side couldn't like it again, and secretly decided: I must find an opportunity to have a good chat with Luo Qinghe's girl.

The group swayed to a flat ground like this, Fang Shaoze shouted that he was hungry, and the other people stopped the carriage very cooperatively and started to make a fire.

When Fang Shaoze took the pheasant out, he hesitated again.

I have never done this cooking, and Luo Qinghe, a young woman, will definitely not kill chickens, plus Granny Wen is very afraid...

Glancing up, Fang Shaoze could only shake his head helplessly, and then summoned the burning Mo back and ordered him to clean up the pheasant.

This ink is very skillful, three times five divided by two to clean up the pheasant, chopped into a convenient to eat block, and the remaining useless hair and internal organs were carefully dug into a deep pit by the ink, buried.

After taking the chicken nuggets in Langmo's hand, Luo Qinghe went to the stream to clean them first, then set up the pot, added some ginger sake, and then stewed the pheasant soup with mushrooms and potatoes.

But no matter how she persuaded her, Granny Wen just didn't dare to approach, for fear that she would be retaliated against by the monsters in the mountains.

Luo Qinghe originally wanted to take the opportunity to scare her, but she couldn't bear it.

However, it may be Luo Qinghe's kindness in inviting Granny Wen to dinner several times, which made Granny Wen have a good impression of Luo Qinghe.

After lunch, Fang Shaoze proposed to take Langmo to the mountains for a walk, and Luo Qinghe was too lazy to move, so he lay down in the shade of the tree to rest for a while.

But when Luo Qinghe woke up and wanted to go back to the carriage, Granny Wen on the side suddenly stopped her.

Is this preparing to take advantage of Fang Shaoze's absence to get along with me? Luo Qinghe was suddenly a little speechless.

But she didn't think about it, Granny Wen didn't say anything else, just hurried over, covered her apron behind Luo Qinghe, and said, "Your skirt is dirty." ”

It's normal to have a dirty skirt when you're out of the house, so why is she making such a fuss? Luo Qinghe was a little puzzled, and subconsciously pulled her skirt to take a look, but saw a touch of red.

Ah~ It turned out to be Aoi water! Luo Qinghe was shocked in her heart, this main body's body had not begun to develop, which caused her to forget about this stubble.

Seeing Luo Qinghe's somewhat overwhelmed appearance, Granny Wen sighed and tied her apron around Luo Qinghe's waist again: "Come with me." ”

Saying that, Granny Wen took Luo Qinghe to the car, and took out a white cotton cloth sewn with several layers sewn from her baggage and said: "This is my new sewn, I haven't used it yet, you put it in Luzhe... Do you know how to use it? ”

Luo Qinghe nodded.

"Well, then you can put it on first! The woman has been weak these days, so you won't do any more work today. ”

In the end, it was a woman, Luo Qinghe was also a little embarrassed about this, so he smiled and thanked him, and said secretly in his heart: Fortunately, Fang Shaoze and Langmo went out for a walk, otherwise it would be embarrassing if they saw it. ”

Behind the mountains and rocks in the distance, Lang Mo looked at Fang Shaoze and wondered, "Young Master, what are we hiding here?" ”

Fang Shaoze glanced at Granny Wen who got out of the car from a distance, and said with a plan in his heart: "Okay, let's go back, but you must not tell the story of us hiding here!" ”

Although he still didn't understand what was happening in front of him, Langmo still subconsciously listened to Fang Shaoze's words and nodded obediently.

Fang Shaoze was relieved and led Langmo back together.

Seeing that Luo Qinghe didn't get down in the carriage, Fang Shaoze didn't go in again, but said, "This weather is good, I have to walk around with the dust shadow." With that, he turned over and walked in front of him.

Seeing that Fang Shaoze didn't mean to come in, Luo Qinghe felt a little relaxed in his heart: it just so happened that his body was also a little tired, and Shaoze was not here at the moment, if he took this opportunity to lie down and rest, he would be able to be more comfortable.

Luo Qinghe thought about it and fell asleep against the carriage, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dark.

The mountains were humid at night, and there was no post house nearby, so Fang Shaoze led them to stay at an old farmer's house.

Granny Wen, who has always been strict, did not let Luo Qinghe cook, but gave the old farmer some money to take care of the meal.

Fang Shaoze on the side didn't say a word when he heard it, only Langmo wondered: "Isn't it Qinghe girl who usually cooks?" ”

"Eat your meal! Don't you have to change your taste for so long? Fang Shaoze reprimanded.

When Lang Mo heard this, he became more and more puzzled: Usually the fourth young master is very picky, and now it is clear that he didn't touch those salty and bitter dishes at all, just swallowed the rice one bite at a time, but why didn't he let Luo Qinghe cook at all?

Lang Mo was thinking about it, but saw Granny Wen put half of the fish into his bowl, and said, "You still have to drive, you eat more!" ”

Seeing that everyone else didn't move the chopsticks much, Lang Mo thought that this dish was not enough to eat, so he stopped talking, and picked up the chopsticks and ate them unceremoniously

Granny Wen was also distressed about the silver and thought that the money for this meal could not be spent in vain, so no matter how salty the dish was, she still ate it in a big gulp.

But Luo Qinghe on the side was a little worried, and whispered: "This dish is salty, if you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable!" ”

Granny Wen has always been diligent and thrifty, and she was reluctant to throw it away at all, so she shook her head and ate the table of food together.

Sure enough, not long after eating, Granny Wen and Langmo drank a lot of water because they were thirsty, and then, after drinking the water, they both woke up with urine before they fell asleep, and they ran back and forth to the toilet many times inside and outside the house.

Fang Shaoze sighed and said, "That thing was thrown away, but you have to finish it!" It's okay now, isn't it hard to get along with yourself? ”

Because there was not much space in the old farmer's side house, Fang Shaoze and Langmo could only sleep underground and gave the bed to the two women.

But Granny Wen on the bed and the ink on the floor tossed back and forth between the side room and the toilet, causing the wooden door to creak and creak, causing no one to fall asleep.

Seeing that she had disturbed Fang Shaoze's rest, Granny Wen suddenly felt very guilty, and hurriedly said, "It's convenient for me to go outside and drink water or something..."

"It's cold outside, don't be frostbite at your age!" Luo Qinghe hurriedly stopped, sighed again and said, "You guys wait for me for a while, I'll go to the kitchen." ”

Fang Shaoze also lost his sleepiness, and when he saw Luo Qinghe finally make a move, he thought that she was going to do something delicious, so he followed him.

I saw that Luo Qinghe first took out the pickled sour plum and hawthorn from the carriage, and then lit a fire in the kitchen of the old farmer's house to boil water, and poured the sour plum into the water after the water boiled, until the water was boiled to brown, and then it was slowly served.

Luo Qinghe filled two bowls and gave one bowl to Granny Wen and Langmo.

Fang Shaoze on the side was also very curious, so he consciously served himself a bowl, but he was bitter as soon as he tasted it.

"This thing is too sour, isn't it?"
