It had been raining heavily. The mountain spring water flows down like a clear stream, and after being retained and filtered by the rocks, grass roots, and tree roots upstream, it becomes more and more glassy.

Qingqing instructed the vertical knife to take the military horse to drink the mountain spring.

Looking at this handsome guy, Qingqing couldn't help but ask. "Childe's mount is much more majestic than the other horses, what is its noble name?"

"'Lightning' not only because it is fast, but also because its golden fur is shiny, like dazzling lightning streaking across the night sky, as if it had been smeared with oil at any moment." Vertical knife patiently explained.

"What does such a beautiful horse eat and drink?" Qingqing is a child who can't hide doubts in his heart.

"My son-in-law is rich and loves horses. Sometimes it is invited to eat high-quality oats, and the food is shaken and wagged, not to mention how happy! Most of its rations are fine grains such as millet and rice, because some of the forage is too coarse, which will hurt its stomach, and it also knows how to 'mix thick and thin, and the stomach is not tired'. After enjoying the fine food, he has become 'sophisticated', and his group of elite soldiers refuses to become a horse breed. You see, it's been two days since I arrived at your house, and the muscles on my body, especially those in my stomach, are like boiled dumplings, full and translucent, oily and shiny. The so-called 'physical strength' can be 'strong'. Its strength and endurance are also extraordinary. The vertical knife explained with ease.

"My family can't often eat horse food as scarce as millet rice, which is 'people are not as good as horses'! However, 'Lightning' should also understand the principle of 'the guest is as he pleases, and he is at peace with the situation', and my family's white rice, simple wheat, and resounding corn kernels can make it full. "Qingqing doesn't want to be a soft persimmon at any time.

"Then there's Miss Lao!" Vertical knife said gratefully.

Qingqing looked at the 'lightning' cow drink, perhaps it was the first time in her life that she enjoyed mineral water, and became extremely greedy, she thought: "Even horses are obsessed with beautiful things, so let's just make you comfortable again."

He ran back in a puff of smoke, grabbed a wooden comb and ran.

"Mother, I'm going to comb Lightning's hair!" "This kid is always heartless and brainless, what should I do if that beast kicks you?" Qing Qingniang persuaded with a smile.

"It's not a 'beast', it's called 'lightning', Zhao Gongzi's mount is the most spiritual, and the first time it looks at me, it exudes a friendly light." Qingqing said excitedly.

"Silly boy, how can everything be as if you are destined, what others are afraid of, but you can 'see it at first sight' and 'naturally kiss'."

"My happiness is high, and I can say 'anytime, anywhere'. Needless to say, my 'lightning' may have itchy skin. ”

After a while, the left side of the comb, the vertical knife, Cai Yuli's right side, has been combed to the "lightning" like a spring breeze in winter, a pair of watery apricot eyes want to close and wake up, as if the wine is slightly drunk, just shout loudly!

"Childe, I've been here for two days, do you want to return to Luoyang immediately, or do you want to observe the people's feelings for a few more mornings and dusks?" Outside the vertical knife to play the role of a virtuous minister.

"Everywhere you go here is lush forests and bamboos, and I don't know what kind of bamboo this bamboo is? How can you fight the Dao Mansion? Zhao Xu looked reluctant.

"Girl, how do you call this bamboo?" Childe asked respectfully.

"Childe's insight, this bamboo is "Ci Zhu", just like the amiable and lovely hometown people and the subjects of Tianfu, they are like bamboo, whether it is fertile land or barren mountainous areas, they can firmly take root and grow vigorously, and soon form a landscape. The people of the hometown attach importance to family affection, and they are all like a family compatriot like a close and happy family, and the people here call it 'bamboo root kin'. It is precisely because of this bamboo capacity and the sharing of the root system that it will not be easily tortured to death by dry weather. Childe, there are still bamboo beetles in the bamboo forest. Cooler in the afternoon, take you to catch. "Qingqing always likes to share blessings.

At night, it is estimated that these distant friends have never eaten burned corn or bamboo worms. Qingqing's father and mother prepared a lot of old and tender corn cobs, the cobs should be selected with large and full grains and sparse lalasa messy arrangement, so that they can be cooked quickly, more burnt and flavorful, and sweet and crispy, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.

Zhao Xu was a little hesitant to usually use chopsticks as warm as Hetian jade made of rhinoceros horn, but today he had to grab the black corn cob.

"Childe, what's wrong, not to mention that my family has never been poisoned, these ten miles and eight towns are tens of hundreds of square kilometers, how have you ever heard of poisoning? Don't eat it yet, smell it and then decide. ”

Vertical knife, Cai Yu will try to eat, if you don't taste it, it's amazing, bite and peel it, and eat it up in two or three clicks. Cai Yu sighed: "This taste should only be in the sky, how can I taste it a few times in the world." ”

People take food as the sky, and food as the first taste. This delicious mountain delicacy is freshly made, without losing the nutrients and essence in it; Coupled with the use of wheat straw as fuel, the flame is gentle and considerate, turning and turning until it has an attractive aroma.

"The Son of Heaven" is also a child in the world, no matter how old he is, he is also a child, after all, he can't resist the temptation of deliciousness, and the vertical knife tried the temperature of a stick, which was just right, and the son tasted it with relish.

In the end, everyone unknowingly darkens their jaws and makes fun of each other.

"Today, women don't need to wear makeup to dress up as men."

"You're young again, and Whitebeard suddenly turned black!"

As for the bamboo beetle, it is a special delicacy, but Zhao Gongzi, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, did not dare to try the "first beetle" after all.

On the third day, Qingqing's father personally caught a fat rooster and made it into a braised rooster; Eggplant is mixed cold, roasted white oil winter melon, and then served with tomato scrambled eggs, and the vibrant sweet potato and vegetable soup.

Golden chicken nuggets, crystal clear winter melon strips, bright and tempting tomato scrambled eggs, and green green fresh vegetable soup that people can't bear to leave. A table of original ecological food, even if he is used to seeing the jade plate and thousands of delicacies, Cai Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

With the green wind in the mountains, the gentle birdsong, the lively cries of chickens, and the fact that there is no political affairs to force each other, Zhao Xu and the three of them have a great appetite, and there is no fatal "faint rice" thing anymore.

On the fourth day, Qingqing's second uncle took Zhao Xu and his party to hunt.

"The crow often makes bad noises, but it is so clever that it can't fight if it wants to; Pheasant, but also ideal, pheasant Ling is very spirited; As for the hare, the cunning rabbit three holes, may not be able to subdue; However, when you meet a magpie, a spiritual Angelo, you should know if you can fight it. Qingqing commanded.

In the morning, climbing the hill and going up the ridge, the three of Zhao Xu, who were weak and couldn't help the wind, were so tired that they screamed, startled the pheasants and ran away the hares. The second uncle secretly pulled a long distance before harvesting two hares.

"But it's okay, double happiness is coming, if it's one, it's called 'a solo show'. This morning, you have gained three things, one is to exercise your muscles and bones, the second is to inhale high-quality high-definition new air through aerobic exercise, and the third is to visit plant friends and animal friends in the mountains and forests. But your realm is far worse than Jiang Taigong's fishing, others catch the breeze, the bright moon and the golden rice bowl, of course, the golden bowl is also full of thousands of achievements. He commented gently.

"We've hunted two hares, and I'm afraid the hares won't treat us as friends, right?" The vertical knife asked rhetorically.

"It is to let the hares know the principle of 'survival of the fittest, elimination of the unfit', and besides, after too much reproduction, the hares will eventually suffer from the crops and the common people. The Jade Emperor, who is in charge of the Three Realms, will explain it clearly to the hares, and there is no need to blame himself. Qingqing argued comfortably.

Day 5.

"This girl will show you what a 'qualitative leap' is today, partners, please take a good look!" Qingqing reminded the distant visitors.

Peel the rice kernels from the seven or eight old corn cobs, wash them, mix them with a small amount of water, and push them up vigorously with my mother on the stone mill, and the rough corn kernels leak down from around the grinding plate with the push of the stone mill, and push it for about an hour.

Sift out the essence of starch with a filter cloth, and leave the rough ones in the filter cloth.

Stir and heat with boiling water to eventually become a jelly with "delicate texture and even flesh and bones".

Have you ever tasted it in the deep palace? Even if there is, it is a variety of steamed pastries made of dry grains, why is it so naturally fragrant "cold powder"?

"Why don't I give it the name 'Jade Powder'?" Zhao Xu blurted out that he wanted to say "royal fan", but he was afraid of revealing his identity.

"'Jade powder', 'cold powder', the son is very interesting. Quasi-play! Qingqing replied with a smile.
