Chapter 167: The Pastoral Life of a Peasant Girl (17)
Shen Qingyu looked at the fruit and pheasant in Gu Wantang's hand, and was slightly stunned, the two of them obviously had a very clear division of labor, he went to catch rabbits, Gu Wantang went to pick fruits, Gu Wantang actually caught pheasants while picking fruits, which was faster than himself.
Gu Wantang noticed Shen Qingyu's eyes, and she smiled at Shen Qingyu, "This pheasant was found when I was picking fruits, and they didn't move their nests there, so I didn't make much effort when I caught them!" ”
Shen Qingyu felt that if Gu Wantang said this to those hunters in the village, he was afraid that those hunters would cry! This pheasant is the most difficult to catch, and looking at the pheasant in Gu Wantang's hand, it is alive and jumping, it doesn't look like a sick chicken at all, this is either good luck, or Gu Wantang has some special ability.
Shen Qingyu is actually more inclined to the latter point, Gu Wantang gives him a feeling that he can't see through, which also makes him feel even more that Gu Wantang actually has special skills, but looking at Gu Wantang's appearance, Shen Qingyu knew that Gu Wantang would not say it at all, "Then we can have a good meal today." ”
Gu Wantang shook his head directly, "There are no pots in the house, no firewood, rice, oil and salt, or only roasting, and we will go up the mountain again tomorrow morning, and then go to the town to buy a little firewood, rice, oil and salt, pots and pans, and clothes, and we can still survive for a few days, but at most seven days, our clothes still need to be redone." ”
Shen Qingyu thought about it, and when they split up, they said that they didn't want anything in the house, so even the clothes were only brought out to change and wash, and they didn't ask for anything else.
It's autumn now, and it's not too cold during this time, but after a while, the weather will definitely cool down slowly, and then their two clothes won't work.
Although they have a hundred taels of silver tickets on them, they will never be able to take out this silver ticket in a short time, otherwise even if they have the ability, it is impossible to replace this family again, and most importantly, they still need to give the silver money of this wasteland before the end of the year.
They bought all the wasteland around the house, and if it was good land, it would cost five taels of silver for one acre of good land, although it was wasteland, and it was much cheaper than good land, but because the scope of the wasteland was large, they still needed to spend a lot of money.
Since he had already agreed with Li Zheng that he would give the money to buy wasteland before the end of the year, he naturally couldn't break his promise, so half of the 100 taels of silver was already used to pay for the purchase of wasteland.
Although the remaining half still has fifty taels, they can't sit and eat empty, and even if the fifty taels of silver can not be moved, it is better not to move, and these fifty taels of silver need to be used as backup funds.
After Shen Qingyu thought about where to go with the only one hundred taels of silver they had, he sighed, "Let's go up the mountain together tomorrow!" You look for herbs, I'll go hunting. ”
Gu Wantang agreed without a little hesitation when she heard this, when she was on the plane, she had read several books on herbal medicine, so she could basically recognize the herbs on this mountain, although ordinary herbs were not worth a few dollars, but for people who had nothing in their house now, a little silver money was still very attractive.
Shen Qingyu agreed when he saw that Gu Wantang didn't hesitate at all, he frowned slightly, and after a while, he still didn't ask the question in his heart. 2020
Gu Wantang was a fool before, but a fool can not only hunt but also know herbs, this is not like a person who has just gotten stupid, this is like a person who has never been stupid.
But Shen Qingyu is sure that Gu Wantang has absolutely no one to pretend to be, after all, who would be so unthinkable to pretend to be a fool?
But how to explain these things about Gu Wantang? Shen Qingyu's words came to his mouth and were swallowed again.
How could Gu Wantang not see Shen Qingyu's entanglement, but what was observed by Shen Qingyu was observed by him, if she really wanted her to say, she really didn't know how to tell Shen Qingyu.
It was still Shen Qingyu who was responsible for handling the ingredients, Gu Wantang went to pick up firewood, but after a while, Gu Wantang picked up a lot of firewood, and when Shen Qingyu was roasting, she went to find a vine and tied up the excess firewood, "When we go back, you will take this firewood back, we don't have a single firewood in our house, now that we are going up the mountain, don't waste it." ”
Shen Qingyu looked at the pyre bundled by Gu Wantang while flipping the roast chicken in his hand, and looked at Gu Wantang's movements Although he was not very skilled, Gu Wantang still bundled the pyre completely, he sighed in his heart, and then pressed the questions in his heart directly in his heart.
For Shen Qingyu, it is naturally better for Gu Wantang now, Gu Wantang was stupid before, although he would still help with things, but when he bundled firewood, it was definitely not good, and he even needed to help tie it a second time.
And the current Gu Wantang has never harmed him, and has always stood with him, so if Shen Qingyu chooses, it is naturally better for the current Gu Wantang.
After the two of them ate two roast chickens on the mountain, and then ate some wild fruits, Gu Wantang looked at the rabbit that was tied up over there, and then asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
Shen Qingyu was slightly stunned, this was the second time Gu Wantang asked himself, he thought about it for a while, and then suddenly said, "Are you disgusted that I eat too much?" ”
Gu Wantang shook her head, this is not true, if you eat a half-roast chicken, it is because there is no staple food, and when they have more money, and if they have staple food, then they must not eat so much meat, otherwise she feels that even if they raise countless chickens at home in the future, they are afraid that it will not be enough for Shen Qingyu to eat.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to make more money, and I won't let you go hungry."
Gu Wantang couldn't laugh or cry, Shen Qingyu's meal was three times that of hers, if she was hungry, she must be hungry, and she couldn't be hungry at all, but looking at Shen Qingyu's serious expression, Gu Wantang smiled, "When I just caught the pheasant, I saw a nest of eggs, and there was an old hen hatching chicks in it, I caught the old hen and looked at it, it may take a few days to hatch it, and then let's take the chicks back and raise them!" ”
Shen Qingyu looked at Gu Wantang in surprise when he heard this, and the eggs that hadn't moved yet could be seen to be able to hatch in a few days?
