Chapter 248: Into the Mountain
Li Qinglin looked at the pieces of meat that Jiang Cheng'er was carrying in his hand with some distress.
Although, he will also be hungry for meat.
But during this time, Jiang Cheng'er has been improving his food, and Qinglin feels that Jiang Cheng'er has bought so much this time, which is a bit too extravagant and wasteful.
Jiang Cheng'er took the divided meat to Qinglin, and instructed: "This half will be put in our own home, and we will eat it." It's September 9 soon, Grandma Xiu's family has no heirs, and Brother Han's family is not good. Take these two and give them to eat. ”
"I see, I said why did you buy so much meat this time? I'm going to send it to Grandma Xiu and Brother Han's house! As soon as Qinglin heard Jiang Cheng'er's words, he was happy to run errands.
Looking at Qinglin's distant back, Jiang Cheng'er.
Pursed lips and smiled.
Now she is not alone, at least Qinglin can help her at a critical time, just this is enough.
After putting the things away, Jiang Cheng'er sat on a chair in the courtyard after washing her hands and rested for a while.
This way was too tiring, and before I knew it, Jiang Cheng'er fell asleep in a daze.
When Jiang Cheng'er woke up, it was already evening, and the sun had already set.
At first, Jiang Cheng'er was still a little worried, she had slept for too long, and Jiang Cheng'er was still worried about how Qinglin should eat, but as soon as she looked up through the dim candlelight, Qinglin came from not far away with dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng'er pretended that she hadn't woken up yet, she just wanted to see what Qinglin was doing.
I saw Qinglin carefully put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, got up and went back to serve two plates.
Jiang Cheng'er sat up and glanced at the plate containing a dish of sour and hot cabbage and a scrambled egg with tomato.
She herself didn't know when Li Qinglin learned to cook these two dishes, Jiang Cheng'er stared at the two dishes in front of her, although it didn't look very good, she hadn't tasted it yet, and she didn't know how it tasted.
But fortunately, Li Qinglin did it himself, so it is naturally worthy of praise.
"Sister, when did you wake up, why didn't you call me, you scared me!" Qinglin walked straight with a steamed bun, and he sighed when he saw Jiang Cheng'er get up.
Jiang Cheng'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned.
"It's not this rush, it's really too sleepy. Besides, how can I scare you, I'm such a big living person, and I'm not doing anything sneaky. After speaking, Jiang Cheng'er took a white-flour steamed bun from the plate brought by Li Qinglin, and she ate the steamed bun with taste.
The first bite in the mouth is sour and hot cabbage, which is enough to make it, that is, less salt.
I always feel like I owe something to eat.
Li Qinglin looked at Jiang Cheng'er expectantly, waiting for Jiang Cheng'er's comment: "Sister, how is it!" Although I know that it is indeed far worse than the food you cooked, but this is also what I have prepared so hard to treat you, sister. ”
"For the sake of your dedication, let's do it, I'll teach you how to cook when I have a spare time in the future!" After Jiang Cheng'er finished speaking, she looked at Li Qinglin and smiled.
was said by Jiang Cheng'er, in fact, Qinglin's heart was somewhat numerous, Li Qinglin picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of tomato scrambled eggs into the bowl, and chewed it carefully. Compared to what Jiang Cheng'er did, it was more than a star and a half.
What's more, this Li Qinglin is a man with five big and three thick, and if he is not careful, the eggshell can still be eaten in the tomato scrambled eggs.
Li Qinglin snatched Jiang Cheng'er's chopsticks and said angrily: "That's it, sister." Don't eat it, it's so unpalatable! ”
Jiang Cheng'er looked at Qinglin in astonishment: "Why don't you say that you will waste food, look at you, this is the first time to make these two dishes, you let me say it!" It's already very good for this meal to be made like this, besides, sister, I'm not a picky eater! ”
But Jiang Cheng'er is so good-talked, in Li Qinglin's mind, it is just a comfort to him.
Li Qinglin's heart was not good for this meal, he watched Jiang Cheng'er quickly clean the soup and rice in the bowl, and looked at Jiang Cheng'er pitifully with his eyes: "Sister, this time it was my mistake, I already know which step I made wrong, this dish is tasteless, I put less salt, next time I will definitely not make such a mistake!" ”
"Sister doesn't mean anything else, sister just thinks, you don't need to feel guilty. Anyway, it's just a matter of a meal, and it's just a matter of filling your stomach. ”
Jiang Cheng'er appeased Li Qinglin for a while, and Li Qinglin's heart was not so uncomfortable.
After Qinglin's mood stabilized, Jiang Cheng'er looked at him again and said, "I went to the town today, and the shopkeeper told me that there is an urgent shortage of He Shou Wu in the town now, so this time I plan to enter the mountain again." When I came back, I looked around the village, and there was no herb called Polygonum multiflori, and if I could find Polygonum multiflorum in the mountains, I might be able to sell it for a good price this time. ”
"Isn't it, sister, are you planning to go into the mountain again?" Li Qinglin looked at Jiang Cheng'er in disbelief.
Jiang Cheng'er nodded quickly.
"But let's talk about it this time, I'm not sure if there is a Shou Wu in the mountains. So this time, you don't want to follow me into the mountains, even if you go with me, it will be a burden to me. After Jiang Cheng'er finished speaking, she glanced at Qinglin, she got up and packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and took them to the edge of the well to prepare for washing.
Li Qinglin chased Jiang Cheng'er to the edge of the well.
"Didn't we also say it before, you will never enter the mountain casually again in the future, how can you not believe in your words?"
"Sister, this is not untrustworthy, now is the time when our family needs silver the most. Don't you still want to read and write? It's just that it's not enough for Brother Han to teach you, not only that, but the cost of our family in the winter is also greater, and I can't easily enter the mountain after the snow. Jiang Cheng'er explained to Li Qinglin bitterly while brushing the dishes.
Li Qinglin snatched the chopsticks from Jiang Cheng'er's hand, and he retorted sharply: "I don't care, sister, but you promised me first, you won't enter the mountain in the future." I, I don't lack anything, and besides, if I learn to read and write with Brother Han, he can't accept my money! ”
Seeing that her persuasion was useless, Jiang Cheng'er was also a little angry, and threw all the dishes and chopsticks in her hand to Qinglin.
"But you also have to consider the real problem, after this village there is no such shop. If you miss the opportunity to sell at a high price, you don't know when you'll have to wait until later! I'm going to go into the mountains this time! I'll go back to the house and rest. ”
After speaking, Jiang Cheng'er got up and went back to her room.
This is the first time Jiang Cheng'er has had such a big dispute with Li Qinglin, Jiang Cheng'er knew that Li Qinglin's temper was stubborn and too stubborn, but she didn't expect that Li Qinglin would not let her enter the mountain this time.
Li Qinglin saw that his persuasion was useless, so he didn't continue to talk anymore.
He thought in his heart that since it was useless for him to talk to his sister for a long time, it was better to tell Brother Han about it.
In Qinglin's mind, he felt that now it was estimated that only his eldest brother Han's words would be able to listen to his sister.
This time, Jiang Cheng'er didn't get up early in the morning and went into the mountains, and the weather was cold in autumn, and this morning was getting colder and colder every day. The cold wind blew on his face as sharp as a knife.
Jiang Cheng'er got up in the morning and boiled wine and stuffed eggs, packed up her things, and didn't plan to leave until it was almost noon.
Qinglin had already gotten up, and he had been standing by the window and watching without saying a word, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to be angry with Jiang Cheng'er yesterday. Qinglin felt that since Jiang Cheng'er insisted on going there, she could only let her go.
Jiang Cheng'er was still very surprised, why didn't Qinglin stop her with a tough attitude this time. So even Jiang Cheng'er was a little weak when she went out, because she couldn't guess what the reason was.
"I'm in the mountains, if there is anything or if the old Li family comes to make trouble again, you can go to Brother Han first." Jiang Cheng'er looked at Li Qinglin with some anxiety before leaving, although she could see that Li Qinglin was very reluctant.
This time, she was not completely sure if she could find He Shou Wu, after all, she hadn't paid attention to it before, and she didn't go deep into the mountains. When going out, Jiang Cheng'er also packed two of the baked cakes prepared in advance and put them in the bamboo basket behind him in case of emergency.
Li Qinglin naturally didn't notice these details.
After all, Qinglin is a man, so naturally it is impossible to be as careful as a woman.
Before entering the mountain, Jiang Cheng'er had already prepared a sickle and other tools early, as long as she had them at home, she could use them.
After all, the people in the village have always said that there are wild wolves and leopards in the mountains, and that there are always fierce beasts in the mountains.
Although it is true that Jiang Cheng'er has never seen it before, she believes that those must not be groundless, if no one has seen them, where will those rumors come from.
She was indeed a little lonely alone, and Jiang Cheng'er had forgotten how far she had walked to the foot of the mountain.
She had brought a lot of things with her since she went out, so she had to work harder than when she came out with an empty basket in the mountains before.
The last time I entered the mountain, it was only at the mountain pass, and Jiang Cheng'er didn't go deeper.
This time, Jiang Cheng'er walked inside with the same steps as she had entered the mountain last time, and the deeper she walked in the mountains and forests, the more she couldn't find her way.
There were almost all overgrown weeds around, but fortunately, Jiang Cheng'er still brought a sickle with him when he came, but he made a way out of this pile of grass.
Even the weeds that Jiang Cheng'er couldn't name were almost as tall as Jiang Cheng'er.
