Master Xu whispered, "This is the head of our village. ”

Knowing the identity of the other party, Meng Wei had a bottom in her heart, and when the person approached, she smiled and nodded at the other party.

"Hello, hello, dare to ask the girl?"

The village chief also nodded towards Meng Wei, but his inquiring gaze was at Master Xu.

Originally, Meng Wei looked like she was just a little girl, if there was such a small stranger in the village, no one would pay too much attention to it, and she would be a relative.

But Master Xu is different, his life in the village can be regarded as a rich and noble family, which Meng Wei can also see.

Originally, Master Xu usually made many people want to curry favor in the village, but when those people were farming with their backs to the loess, his family could afford to invite people, which was not enviable.

Now in their eyes, Master Xu, who has a noble status, is so careful to please people on the face, can his status be low?

So when the village chief got the news, he hurried to take a look.

Master Xu straightened up and looked proud: "This is my master!" ”

When facing Master Xu's family before, Meng Wei could see that Meng Wei was a low-key person without lifting out of the Protector's Mansion, and he was unwilling to reveal his identity, so Master Xu changed to his own master.

Anyway, Meng Wei had pointed out and suffered so much that he had already made him spontaneously recognize Meng Wei in his heart.

After speaking, Master Xu glanced at Meng Wei carefully, and saw that there was no objection on her face, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

"Master?" The village chief was stunned, but he didn't dare to show his disbelief, and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect the little master to be a good cook, if there is anything in the village that is not well entertained, please tell me, I will order someone to improve." ”

Obviously, everyone in the village knows Master Xu's profession and is used to calling him Master Xu.

After a few polite exchanges, the village chief asked the two to guide the way, and took them around the village all the way.

To tell the truth, the book says that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, but in fact, it is not true, although this village is poor, but the people are simple, at least Meng Wei has not met that kind of idle people for the time being, and it can be seen that the people here have something to do with the management of the village chief.

Since she has decided to take Master Xu as an apprentice, she doesn't mind helping this village if she can, and it's not impossible to buy a house here and come on vacation in her spare time.

Although it is summer, you can hold an umbrella like this, in this green mountain and green water environment, to not feel hot, I have to say that this is also a good place to escape the heat, there are people in the field in twos and threes in the field to pull weeds or check the growth of the dealer.

As he walked, he saw four people, two men and two women, in a field in front of them, who looked like a couple and their elders were in the field with water up to their ankles, and they all held jars in their hands, which were the kind of clay pots that were most commonly used by farmers to pickle vegetables.

Looking at it from a distance, Meng Wei felt a little strange, just now along the way, she saw a lot of people working, without exception, all of them planted dry land, and most people in the north planted wheat, so she didn't feel unusual.

And this one is a paddy field, and it looks like a leek, but the leeks don't seem to be planted in the water, so is it possible that it is not a leek?

Although she didn't know about planting, she had a general understanding of the roots and branches of many vegetables because she used to live in that large courtyard and many farmers around it.

Maybe Meng Wei's gaze was too direct, and the family couldn't help but smile when they saw Meng Wei and Master Xu approaching: "Village chief, Master Xu, this little girl is a relative of Master Xu?" ”

"This little girl is my master, and she is a very good cook."

The man nodded, with surprise on his face, but there was nothing incredible, after all, the best thing in his impression was only the Yangchun noodles that seemed to go to the town to catch the market to eat, as for the things in Xiangyunlou, he said that he had never been to the capital, and he couldn't afford to eat the food in Xiangyunlou.

Seeing Meng Wei staring at the green crops, the village chief couldn't help but explain: "Most people in the village grow sorghum rice or wheat, and their family grows rice, so it's paddy fields. ”

It turned out to be rice?

Meng Wei then had some understanding, the rice was still green like a leek in the summer, but in the autumn harvest season, it was bent over by the heavy ears of rice, and the upright appearance of the stem was far from the blue ears of rice was not obvious.

Meng Wei glanced at the muddy paddy fields under their feet, and was a little curious: "What are you looking for?" Could it be that you are looking for weeds? ”

But what can one person do with a jar in his hand if he is looking for weeds?

Inexplicably, she thought that in modern times, it was often reported that gold grains were found in various places, and then many villagers went to those river beaches to look for gold.

The other party naturally didn't know what Meng Wei was thinking, and replied with a wry smile: "Recently, the weather has become hot, and I found that there are green worms in this paddy field, which will pinch the stems of crops and affect the harvest of crops, but they hide in the hole as soon as they are frightened, so our family is here to catch the green worms." ”

"Green worms? What is that? ”

Will make a hole in the paddy field, what else is it difficult to do besides snakes?

That's a crab?

But Meng Wei remembered that whether she was in Xiangyun Mansion or in the Protector's Mansion, the crabs were eaten by everyone, and they were not cheap, and the main thing was that no one had eaten them in this dynasty like chili peppers.

So what is this green worm?

Could it be something that looks like a tiger in cyan color?

When the man heard Meng Wei ask, he only thought that Meng Wei was curious, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out a blue-red shell-like creature from the jar: "You see, this is a green worm, the smaller one is cyan, the larger one is blue-red, and the larger one is red or dark." ”

Looking at the creature pinched in the man's hand, Meng Wei was overjoyed, and stretched out her hand to take the creature, but she didn't want Master Xu to be nervous beside her: "Master be careful, don't look small at this green worm, there is no threat, but the pincers are like crabs, if they are caught, it will hurt very much, and if it is not good, it will be pinched and the skin will be broken, and if it bleeds, it will not be good." ”

The man also came to his senses, and put the creature in his hand back into the jar: "Indeed, this little thing is very good at pinching people. ”

Meng Wei was still staring at the jar in the man's eyes without blinking: "What are you going to do with this green worm?" ”

"This green worm is not delicious, it is too fishy, it doesn't taste as good as fish, we usually crush this green worm and mix it with leftovers to feed the chickens and ducks at home."

Not tasty?

Meng Wei felt a pain in her heart, thinking that those people in modern times are not only spiders and centipedes, but even grasshoppers are eaten, and some people actually say that this crayfish that is popular all over the world is not delicious?
