Chapter 19: The Ancient Age of Immobility

I don't know what Grandma Liu is guarding against, two pheasants and three hares are on the table, and they can't hide one more in the second room. But when Xiao An's stunned found a pheasant and a hare that were both smaller, and said that Liu Laozhang asked him to send them to Liu's house as a gift, Liu Chenxing couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then sighed that he still didn't have enough skills.

In addition to giving a gift to the Liu family, there are still one chicken and two rabbits left, and it is too late to stew chicken, so it is still okay to clean up a hare to make rabbit soup. Although in Liu Chenxing's view, the live rabbit is the best to make the fresh pot rabbit in Zigong, Sichuan, a pot full of shredded ginger, green pepper, red pepper and other seasonings fried a pot of spicy and fragrant broth, with freshly peeled rabbit meat, it is really delicious and tender. However, the conditions are limited now, and people often cook meat into soup, so it is not bad to have a pot of rabbit soup at this time.

Thinking that the evening would be another satisfying meal, I didn't want the old couple of the Liu family to only promise to leave a chicken stew, and the remaining two rabbits were for Liu Qianli to take to the county tomorrow to sell.

Liu Qianli was concerned about the Yue family, and couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Aya, I originally planned to go to the Yue family tomorrow, this is ......"

"Bang", Grandma Liu didn't wait for anyone to finish speaking, she put the wild vegetable porridge bowl in her hand on the table, and said with an unhappy face: "If you want to go to Liu's house tomorrow, then leave the chicken, and sell it with two rabbits the day after tomorrow!" ”

"Ah Niang, you-" Liu Qianli was unreasonable to his own mother's arrogance, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but fortunately, the Liu family on the side pulled him under the table, so that he could hold back the words that had come to his mouth, and said in a muffled voice: "Ah Niang, I know." ”

Grandma Liu couldn't help but feel sorry, her grandma thought that it was enough to send a hare to the Liu family, but the old man was generous and had to add a pheasant. failed to take the opportunity to detain the pheasant, Grandma Liu only felt uncomfortable digging her heart, and then looked at the family in the second room more and more unpleasant.

"Eat!" Grandma Liu's heart was blocked, so she had no choice but to say viciously.

Liu Chenxing has long been surprised that Grandma Liu is angry, not to mention that her mind has flown to the dendrobium flower.

It's good to go to the county seat tomorrow, saving her the effort of drying flowers, and maybe the price of fresh dendrobium flowers can be sold better.

Thinking that he would be able to make money right away, and that he could go to the ancient county town to gain knowledge, Liu Chenxing happily looked at everything pleasing to the eye, and even Grandma Liu's always elongated black face became kind.

As for why I was sure to go to the county seat with me, of course, the back mountains with flood beasts were all gone, and the county seat was naturally not a problem. And like how Yang got Liu's consent to go to the county with her, it is inseparable from the coquettish tricks of children.

On this day, going up and down the mountain, Liu Chenxing was completely supported by perseverance, as soon as he ate dinner and washed up, he fell asleep. When I woke up on the second day, it was already dark, and I was almost left behind by Liu Qianli and his son to go to the county seat alone because of getting up late.

In the morning, Grandma Liu personally boiled a pot of boiling water, killed the chicken, cut the chicken into pieces, washed the mushrooms, and then put them in the pot. Before dawn, the mushroom stewed chicken was simmering on the fire, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of chicken and mushrooms in the morning, and the worms came out of the stomach.

Stew the chicken at this rate, and it is estimated that the chicken soup will be stewed before noon. When they come back from the county seat in the afternoon, it will be nice to have a bowl of soup left.

Liu Chenxing took a deep sip of the fragrant wild mushroom chicken soup in the courtyard, telling herself that if she missed today's meal, there would be thousands of chicken soups waiting for her in the future.

The county seat, she's coming!

The father and the son, each carrying a basket, rushed to the county seat towards the rising sun.

This county is Qingyang County, which belongs to Beizhou and is in Hebei Province.

Anjia Village, where they are located, is very close to Qingyang County, less than ten miles away, and it takes about half an hour to walk.

Liu Baili is because Liu's family is close to the county seat, so he goes back and forth every day.

However, even though the two places are close, this is still the first time Liu Chenxing has gone out of Anjia Village in the past five years, and he is indispensable to look around along the way.

After leaving Anjia Village, it is still a loess road. However, the road has become wider, at least three or four zhang wide, and the third uncle on the same road said that the road they took was an old road, and although the official road was also a loess road, it was half wider. It can be seen that land transportation at this time has been relatively developed.

It didn't take long to walk, and there were more and more pedestrians on the road. Most of them are dressed in the same cloth as them, either carrying baskets or baskets, and they should be villagers from all over Qingyang County, like them, who go to the county to sell things, or buy some things and go back.

When you reach the gate of Qingyang County, you can see it from afar, there are all kinds of carriages and horses, mainly ox carts, and occasionally one or two carriages, donkey carts, camel carts, etc.

This is the first time Liu Chenxing has seen an ancient car, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and subconsciously compared it with the vehicles in the modern costume TV series, obviously the vehicles in the TV series have been beautified, and the cars at this time are simple without any carving and painting, of course, it may be that the cars of rich and noble families have not yet appeared, after all, this is only a small county town.

Liu Baili is a wine doctor in a wine shop, firstly, he is good at observing words and feelings, and secondly, he is good at telling people some known anecdotes in a timely manner, and if he is lucky, he can get a reward of a few coppers.

At this time, seeing that Liu Chenxing was looking at the vehicles on the road very seriously, his eyes were full of curiosity, so he habitually said: "Our Qingyang County is not a poor and remote country, it is adjacent to Qinghe County, and it belongs to Beizhou. ”

As soon as he stopped, Liu Baili suddenly sold Guan Zi and said, "Do you know this Qinghe County?" The road was boring, so he simply teased his little niece, he thought that this niece was interesting and smart, much better than Ah Bao in the big house, but he was unlucky to be affected by the Liu family, and he didn't like his aunt.

Liu Chenxing looked up at the third uncle, and when she saw that the third uncle looked like she was not hiding her showmanship, she couldn't help laughing, even if she knew, she had to say that she didn't know now. So he shook his head and asked, "Is it okay for Qinghe County to have our Qingyang County?" ”

"Qinghe County is not comparable to our Qingyang County!" Liu Baili talked about it: "Qinghe Cui's family is one of the most famous surnames in the world, as early as the last dynasty, it was recognized as 'the world's first high-ranking family, the head of the northern wealthy family', of course, it is still prominent, and the current prime minister is the son of the Xuan family. Moreover, since the opening of the imperial examination in the previous dynasty, Qinghe County has often produced champions, and there are three in this dynasty alone. ”

"Qinghe County has a prosperous literary style, and students often come here. This county is close to the light of Qinghe County, and there are also dignitaries and students coming and going, and there is today's liveliness in the long run. ”

Liu Chenxing was taught, and he was excited to listen - he thought that he had arrived in a poor and remote country, and the biggest local figure was the county magistrate, but the result was that he went to a place where there were many literary heroes and powerful ministers.

"Third uncle, you know so much!" After seeing it for a long time, Liu Chenxing did not hesitate to praise.

Liu Baili laughed out loud when he was praised, "I also heard what the students in the wine shop said!" He pointed to the front, "Alright, line up to enter the city!" ”
