It was noon and the sun was in full bloom.

Although it is still the first month, the grass and trees in the mountains have begun to turn green, the branches have already pulled out the new green shoots, the terrain of Tiger Roaring Gang is higher than the surrounding hills, it is a lush green, the mountain wind hunts, and the fragrance of pine grass and leaves mixed together.

Sichuan pepper carried a bamboo basket and went up to the Tiger Roaring Gang unhurriedly.

At a glance, I saw Pei Ze, who was bending over to loosen the soil with a shovel near the cave, with a knot at the bottom of his clothes, looking very capable and neat, completely dressed as a mountain man.

Hua Jiao walked over and hung the bamboo basket on the branch next to him: "Lunch for you." ”

"Put it there!" Pei Ze stopped what he was doing, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and glanced at the peppercorns, "Come and help me sprinkle these medicinal seeds in the ditch, four or five seeds in each place, about a foot apart." ”

"Me?" Sichuan pepper looks around left and right.

"What? Don't want to do it? Pei Ze looked at her expressionlessly, the corners of the pepper's mouth twitched, and he went to get the medicinal herb seeds under the tree: "That's not it, I thought you were talking to others!" ”

Pepper quietly glanced at him.

Well, even if he is from Qinglong Village, he has no grudges with her, he won't do it with her for no reason, right?

She wouldn't tell the man in black about it.

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, didn't squeak, put down the shovel, picked up the hoe, and drew a shallow ditch on the land he had just turned over, and the newly turned soil was black and wet, as if it had been fertilized, and the soil here was still very fertile.

These medicinal seeds are also black, as big as melon seeds, Sichuan pepper grabbed a handful of seeds, sprinkled four or five seeds in the ditch, every two footprints, and then sprinkled four or five seeds, one meter is three feet, two footprints are about one foot.

Pei Ze saw it in his eyes and asked lukewarmly: "You, have you read a book?" ”

She knew how wide a foot was.

I also know what he means, if I am illiterate, I will not understand it so quickly.

"Of course...... I just know a few words. Hua Jiao smiled at him very modestly, and said in his heart, of course, not only has she read a book, but she has read it for many years, although it is not a tall major, but she still knows the concept of one meter is three feet.

Pei Ze continued to work without saying a word.

Sichuan pepper followed suit and sprinkled the seeds into it.

The two cooperate quite tacitly.

The clearing in front of the cave was quickly planted.

"The rice is getting cold." Pepper reminded.

"I've already eaten it." Pei Ze looked at the side of the cave, and Hua Jiao found that there was a burning fire next to the cave, and there was a wooden shelf on top of the fire, and there were several chicken bones next to it...... It's really convinced, I didn't say it early after eating, she hasn't eaten it yet!

"If you don't have to eat, eat first." Pei Ze pointed to the bamboo basket she brought, carried the shovel and hoe to the other side, and ordered, "After eating, come over and continue to help me grow medicinal herbs, there are many kinds of seeds!" ”

Huajiao took off the bamboo basket, walked to the big stone sitting next to the cave and opened it, took a bun out of it, and asked casually: "Third brother, do you want to plant all the atractylodes here?" ”

The bun is still warm, and Wang's cabbage vegetarian bun also has an egg in it, a few small radish heads, and Sichuan pepper dares to guarantee that this egg is definitely secretly put in by Wang......

"Do you still know Atractylodes seeds?" Pei Ze was surprised.

"Atractylodes is not a rare thing, it's just an ordinary medicinal herb that replenishes qi, it's not surprising that I know Atractylodes, right?" Sichuan pepper took a bite of the bun and said disapprovingly, "In fact, this season is planting Atractylodes, the seedling emergence rate is not very high, you should wait for another month or so, and it is not too late to wait for the weather to warm up." ”

Not to mention atractylodes, there should be no plants on this mountain that she doesn't know.

Although she is not a top student, she also graduated from Agricultural University.

"This is a seed brought back from the northwest, which is highly cold-tolerant and suitable for slow wintering, and I think it is just right to plant this season." Pei Ze looked at the pepper thoughtfully, and said suspiciously, "Where did you know this?" ”

Know Atractylodes and the habits of Atractylodes?

He didn't think this should be known to a little girl like her.

"When I was a kid, I had a lot of these books at home." Sichuan pepper lied seriously, "I have seen too much, and I will slowly remember it." ”

As he spoke, he casually pointed to another cloth bag: "I just saw it, there are astragalus seeds, although the sowing season of astragalus is more flexible, spring, summer and winter, but according to the current season and the temperature on the mountain, you should plant them on the sunny slope, because the emergence rate of astragalus is very affected by temperature." ”

Anyway, it was impossible for Pei Ze to go to the Hua family to inquire about these things.

Whatever she wants.

Sure enough, Pei Ze didn't ask again.

Silently turning over the soil with a latte.

After eating the buns and eggs, the pepper got up and stretched his waist, seeing that Pei Ze had not finished turning the ground, he was not in a hurry to go over to help, so he grabbed a handful of hay and firewood, put it on the fire where he had eaten roast chicken, and carefully lit the fire, roasted the fire for a while, and gradually warmed up his body.

There is a small stream flowing at the bottom of the valley below Tiger Roaring Gang, and the water is crystal clear, winding happily at the bottom of the valley.

On a whim, Sichuan pepper picked up some chicken livers that Pei Ze had discarded from the ground, skewered them with straw stalks, and went to the stream with the hem of his skirt.

Judging by her, she felt that there should be crabs and fish in the creek.

She may not be able to catch fish, but crabs can still be tried.

Pei Ze saw that she went to the stream, and he didn't stop it, he carried a cloth bag and scattered seeds, after all, she was still a little girl, and she was a little more playful.

Sichuan pepper fixed the chicken liver on the stone in the water, squatted by the stream and waited quietly for the crabs to come out, the stream water was crystal clear, tadpole-sized fish swam back and forth, she held a small pinch of water and tasted it, the water quality was clear, sweet and delicious, very natural weak alkaline mountain spring water.

After a while, crabs crawled out from under the stones, pepper was very excited, regardless of the cold water of the stream, rolled up his sleeves and began to catch crabs, and in a blink of an eye, he caught ten big crabs with teeth and claws, which is a pure natural and pollution-free crab.

"Third brother, you see I caught a crab." Hua Jiao carried the crab and excitedly ran to Pei Ze to show him, Pei Ze looked at the crab in her hand, nodded and said, "I have spices in the basket." ”

"What spice?" Sichuan pepper is confused.

"Are you going to eat it raw?" Pei Ze looked at her incredulously.

"No, it's going to be cooked?" Hua Jiao blinked and looked at him, instantly came back to his senses, and said with crooked eyebrows, "Understood, I'll roast the crab!" ”

Turns out he meant that she would bake and eat it now!

Hmph, sure enough, my heart is big enough.

It's just a person who steals pheasants in the mountains, and even the crabs she catches.

When Sichuan Jiao saw the spices in Pei Ze's basket, he didn't know what to say.

There is salt and sugar, and there is even a large amount of pepper...... I can't see it, this person is also a proper foodie!

Ten crabs, tied with blades of grass.

Sprinkle with salt, wrap it with wild taro leaves, go to the stream to get water and mud, coat it layer by layer on the outside of wild taro leaves, make ten small mud balls and throw them into the fire, and when Pei Ze finishes sprinkling the medicinal herbs, the fragrant salt crab will be roasted.

Pei Ze went to the stream to wash his hands, and sat down to eat crabs with interest.

Sichuan pepper didn't expect that the crabs in this season were quite fat, the meat was tender and creamy, and even the crab claws were full of meat.

"Do you want to catch a few more and give them to Brother An'er to eat?" Sichuan pepper is proposed while eating.

"No, there are no outsiders here, and when the weather is warm in a few days, it's not too late to come over and grab more and go back to eat." Pei Ze eats crabs cleanly and is also very skilled, tearing off the crab legs as a tool to remove meat, the shell is the shell, the meat is meat, and he often eats crabs at a glance.

Seeing that he was eating with relish, Sichuan Pepper took the opportunity to climb down the pole, and said seriously: "Third brother, you see that you have planted so many medicinal materials, you definitely need someone to take care of them, why don't I help you take care of the medicinal materials?" ”

"Okay, then it's hard for you." Pei Ze agreed without thinking about it, and said with a smile, "You don't have to come here every day, just come over once every two or three days, if you need to do something, I will teach you." ”

She knows medicinal herbs and understands the habits of them, so she is very suitable to come and help.

"It's just that I have a condition......" Hua Jiao looked up at him.

In fact, this man's appearance is still very online.

However, if he is a bandit from Qinglong Village, it will be a bit of a disobedience.

After all, this is the first time she has seen such a handsome bandit, and the bandits on TV are all sharp-beaked monkey cheeks or blindfolded...... Pei Ze with one eye in his mind came to mind, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Pei Ze turned his head and looked at her with a heavy gaze.
