After a long time, Hongshao sighed and said, "My subordinates know ......."

……

Ping'an, who went to Chongtian Mansion, soon returned, and when he just entered the courtyard gate, Ma Zhancai eagerly called him into the study.

"How?" Ma Zhancai looked anxious.

Ping'an's face was happy, "Don't worry, my lord, this time the slave went to dredge up the relationship, everything went well, or in a few days, Lord Jiang from the government will come to our happy town." ”

"Will he help us out when he comes?" Ma Zhancai asked.

Ping An bowed slightly, "Please rest assured that the old man is here, the mountain bird picture we brought over from the previous dynasty and the ten night pearls bigger than eggs, Lord Jiang likes it very much, and he heard that there are beautiful women in our Xiantang Village, he is very interested in coming to the village to have a look." ”

Ma Zhancai slapped his fists excitedly, and a happy smile appeared on his face, "I see if that Wu Bing will fight with me this time, how arrogant is that Ye Chuliang." ”

"Master, we still need to cover up this matter, and we can't leak any rumors." Ping'an lowered his voice and said, "Before leaving, Lord Jiang told him that his whereabouts this time must not be leaked to anyone, otherwise he will not escape the fate of having to explain to his superiors." ”

"There is no need to worry about this, this matter has only been said in the study, and after going out, no one is allowed to mention it......" Ma Zhancai emphasized.

"Isn't it possible to say that Madame?" Ping An asked.

"Hmph, she is a woman's opinion, of course she can't say, after Lord Jiang handles this matter, I will explain it to Mrs. I." Ma Zhancai stood up straight and said with joy on his face.

On this day, Dongfang Yanhe went home before it was dark, and he was carrying a big black thing behind him, which seemed to be some kind of game.

Ye Chuliang seemed to be washing something by the waterhole, but his eyes were staring at the surface of the water motionlessly.

Suddenly, Red Tree rushed out of the cave, holding a bamboo pole in her hand, the top of the bamboo pole was used as a hand and foot, and when it was stretched out, it could grasp something in the distance like a hand.

Hong Shao didn't notice that he collided with Dongfang Yanhe.

"Brother fool, why don't you have any sound at all." Hongshao rubbed his aching chest and puffed out his cheeks and said.

Dongfang Yanhe looked at Ye Chuliang with his eyes, and put the things he was carrying on the ground behind him, "What is she doing?" ”

"In the past few days, we have found some green leaves growing on the surface of the water, and Sister Chu Liang here just found that there seems to be something growing under those leaves, no, let me bring the bamboo poles." Hongshao hurriedly carried the bamboo pole and ran behind Ye Chuliang.

Ye Chuliang stared at the foreign object under the water while stretching out the bamboo pole steadily.

Dongfang Yanhe naturally came to the edge of the waterhole, staring motionlessly at what was below the water's surface.

After several attempts, Ye Chuliang finally saw what was under the water clearly.

It turned out to be a lotus root, an unusually fresh lotus root......

Looking at these lotus roots, Ye Chuliang was a little puzzled, he didn't see lotus flowers and lotus seeds growing on the surface of the waterhole all summer, why did he grow lotus roots now.

Hongshao bent down to look at the lotus root that Ye Chuliang had grabbed, and asked curiously, "What is this, can you eat it?" ”

Ye Chuliang was puzzled, she remembered that the lotus root was introduced to the Central Plains during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, how could they not know each other?

Dongfang Yanhe was obviously also puzzled, stared at the lotus root and asked, "Won't this thing be edible?" ”

Ye Chuliang smiled slightly, "Of course you can eat it, and it's very delicious, especially suitable for relieving the heat of the human body in autumn." "Good net

The corners of Hongjiao's mouth rose, and he said excitedly: "Then can we eat at night?" ”

Ye Chuliang looked at the lotus roots in the waterhole and said, "Of course you can, but the premise is that you have to find a way to bring them all up, and there are ......"

Ye Chuliang pointed to the lotus root teeth growing on the lotus root node and said, "But don't break this bud joint, I still have to collect it and plant it next year." ”

Ye Chuliang was just about to walk into the cave, but he saw something thrown in front of the cave by Dongfang Yanhe, it was a wild boar, but it was not very big.

"It's ...... Did you fight? Ye Chuliang asked with some confusion.

Dongfang Yanhe pretended to be embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "It's not that I hit it, it hit the mountain by itself and knocked it out, I originally wanted to release it after waking up, but wild boars sometimes eat people, so I thought about it and brought it back." ”

Ye Chuliang said happily: "It seems that you finally understand that there are some things in this world that are born so that human beings can live. ”

Dongfang Yanhe lowered his head and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Ye Chuliang looked at the lotus root in his hand, and then looked at the wild boar on the ground, and suddenly had an idea, "We can make lotus root flower pig's feet soup, moisturize the lungs and remove dryness, especially suitable for drinking now." ”

As soon as Hongshao heard that there was something delicious, he immediately threw away the bamboo pole, ran to Ye Chuliang's side, and asked excitedly: "When can I drink it, I want to drink it now." ”

The two little babies who were originally in the cave also ran out with Dabai in their arms.

Hao'er looked at Ye Chuliang innocently, "Aunt Chuliang, shall we eat something delicious tonight?" ”

Ye Chuliang scratched his nose, "Little gluttonous cat, I heard that the delicious food ran out." ”

Ye Chuliang put the lotus root in the hands of the two little babies, and then said affectionately: "Go, those two chopsticks help Aunt Chuliang wash the lotus root." ”

"How do you wash the chopsticks?" Cui'er wondered.

"You go to Sister Hongshao and ask her to cut the lotus root with a knife, so you naturally know why you need to wash it with chopsticks." After Ye Chuliang finished speaking, he pushed the two little babies all in front of Hongshao, "I'll leave it to you......"

Hongshao shrugged helplessly, "Who wants these two noisy guys besides me." ”

"We don't make a fuss, we're obedient......"

"yes, we're the best ......"

The two little babies were led by the red shoots to the waterhole.

Ye Chuliang stared at the wild boar on the ground and said, "It seems that only the two of us can help clean up this thing." ”

"Although this wild boar is not big, we can't eat it all in one meal, should we find a way to collect its meat?" Dongfang Yanhe proposed.

Ye Chuliang touched his chin, pondered for a moment and said, "We should really find a way to collect these uneaten things so that we can eat them next time." ”

"Then why don't we marinate it with salt and make a simple version of bacon?" Ye Chuliang asked.

"What is bacon?" Dongfang Yanhe was stunned again.

Ye Chuliang didn't bother to explain, she just said simply, "You go and prepare a little salt, and you'll know what it is later." ”

"There are not many salts in our house, and they are expensive in the city, and these salts were exchanged with Boss Qiu with delicious food methods at that time." Dongfang Yanhe said worriedly.
