Chapter 14: Worries at Home
Chapter 14 Hidden Worries at Home
Lu Lu helped Shang Wu cover the quilt, got out of the carriage, and fed Xiaobai horse feed mixed with miscellaneous grains.
Seeing Xiaobai's vigorous eating, Lu Lu put the horse material on the ground and let Xiaobai eat it by himself, Lu Lu walked to Xiaobai's side, checked Xiaobai's horseshoes, turned clockwise and checked Xiaobai's four horseshoes, Shang Wu had cold disease not long ago, and Lu Lu injured his leg again, so Xiaobai has moved less recently, filled in some fat, and the horseshoes are also thicker, and he needs to run and repair the horseshoe.
Lu Lu went to the doorpost to ask for scissors for repairing horseshoe, only to find that the entire team did not have a pair of scissors for repairing horseshoe, so he asked the doorpost's daughter-in-law for a pair of scissors, and repaired the horseshoe for Xiaobai little by little.
After Lu Lu finished cooking Xiaobai, he returned to the carriage just in time for Shang Wu to have breakfast, so the two had breakfast together.
Breakfast is a small pot of sweet potato white rice porridge, sweet sweet potatoes floating on the soft white rice, drinking sweet potatoes and white rice porridge warm the stomach and sweet heart, the two of them drank very happily.
"This sweet potato and white rice porridge made by Xiaoyu is really delicious, and Xiaoyu really took a lot of effort to make these foods." Lu Lu drank porridge and boasted that the small fish would make food.
"Xiaoyu loved to eat when he was a child, he was greedy for fish when he was a child, at that time there were no people who dared to go down to the river to fish, Xiaoyu went to practice swimming, and then went down to the river to catch fish, and then he actually became a fishing deacon because of catching fish, as long as he wanted to eat what he loved to eat, he would try his best to make delicious food." Shang Wu chatted with Lu Lu about Xiaoyu's past.
"Xiaoyu is so powerful, there will be oral administration in the future." Lu Lu thought that he could eat delicious food in the future, and said happily.
"By the way, I just went to take care of Xiaobai and wanted to repair Xiaobai's horseshoe, but there was no horsefoot repair on the doorpost, so I could only ask his daughter-in-law for a pair of scissors to slowly repair Xiaobai's horseshoes." Lu Lu talked about repairing the horse's shoe for Xiaobai.
"Our horse team is said to be a whole, but in fact it is just a big family, and there is still a lack of talented people. There are no professional hunters like you, and they are so good at raising horses, they are now just making horses capable and good without major problems, even if they can raise horses, they are far worse than you. Shang Wu boasted about the road.
"That's, don't look at who I am, with someone as capable as me to help you, you won't reward me." As soon as Lu Lu was praised, his nose was high.
"Come on, my old reward for my great nobleman." Shang Wu kissed Lu Lu on the nose as he spoke.
Lu Lu was kissed like this, and he was even more happy in his heart.
And one of the moods in Shang Wu's heart seems to be settled, that is, the matter of settlement, he had considered settling on a traffic artery before, but later found that there was still a lack of fertile land around that location, hunting grounds for hunting, and enough water sources, so he had to give up at that time.
But now I can't help but be anxious, the food reserves have been less than three months, and many people have lost the free and easy mood they had before, and they want to settle down more, and now more and more people are beginning to miss the villages of the merchants, and the hearts of the people have begun to fluctuate. And some of the people who have come here are also unstable, although the doorpost has made some arrangements, and after a long time, there will inevitably be some chaos.
Long-term migration, the preparation for the migration journey now seems to be lacking a lot, this road is also because of the lack of those things are not missing all kinds of conditions, fortunately this way finally comes, but if this continues, this horse team is like a boat in water, and it will definitely sink if it sails all the time, not to mention that the salt that needs to be used for every meal is only in and out, and the rest is also quantitative, and sooner or later it will be used up. Not to mention professional horse masters, if a large number of horses are infected, the whole team does not know where it will fall.
The current merchant horse team is a small fishing boat with no wind and morale, and what Shang Wu, the captain, has to do is to find a suitable place for the ship to dock.
————————————————
The main deacons in the entire merchant horse team all entered Shang Wu's carriage, and Xiao Yu was the last to come in, bringing a pot of sweet soup and tableware.
"Xiaoyu is finally here, hurry up and share it with everyone, and tell me what your soup is." Shang Wu knew that Lu Lu was greedy, so this time the family agreed to let Xiaoyu prepare a pot of soup to relieve Lu Lu's greed.
"Okay, I'll serve it to everyone first, let's taste it first, let's talk about the taste first, haha." Xiaoyu likes to eat and cook, and prefers to share delicious food, and he is naturally the happiest one when such a big thing can make him show his hand so much.
Xiaoyu beats the sweet soup one by one, and serves the beaten sweet soup in the order of respecting and humbling the five merchants, the road, the doorpost, the stone, etc.
"This sweet soup is so fragrant, what's in it?" Lu Lu was the first to drink and the fastest to speak.
"There's the sweetness and sourness of hawthorn, the sweetness of licorice, and the smell of apples." In addition to the head of the house and Xiaoyu, the doorpost is the person who knows how to eat the most, Shang Wu does not love to speak, and others only know that it is delicious but do not study the food and can't say why it is delicious, and the doorpost will solve everyone's doubts.
"It's still the doorpost brother who can eat, and the head of the family also loves to eat, so you can know what the good things are." Xiaoyu wanted to be praised by Shang Wu, so he was proud to show off.
"Xiaoyu, you still put a lot of thought, put a small mountain ginseng in a big pot of soup, and the ginseng must be dried and ground into powder and sprinkled into the soup to boil, and that ginseng is now in Lulu's mouth." Shang Wu said while wiping his face like a little cat.
"The head of the family is wise, just take a small sip and know it all." Xiao Yu knelt down and kowtowed and said, he knew that the head of the family must have tasted it in his mouth for a long time. If you can let the head of the family say it, it shows that in Shang Wu's heart, small fish are still very important.
"Alright, we have something to discuss today." Shang Wu brought the gossip back to the point.
All of a sudden, the carriage was quiet, except of course for the road where he only cared about drinking soup like a little cat.
"Let's talk about how we feel about this migration." Shang Wu first clicked on today's topic.
"It's good, you don't have to suffer from those pickles outside, how good it is to be unrestrained outside and gallop on horseback, so chic and comfortable." Stone is a man of his own temperament.
"Yes, these days, it's very comfortable, I've eaten a lot of delicious food that I've never eaten, and I've seen so many beautiful scenery, which is a lifetime in the village." Small fish also cater to it.
"There have been a lot of happy things along the way, and I don't know how much better than the days of being aggrieved in the village," the doorpost also pandered.
"Do you think the people can be so happy if this continues?" Shang Wu seems to have to lead the topic later, but now he just can't face the status quo.
