Chapter 212: Picking Plums and Soaking in Wine
Shen Shuang didn't know that there were two tails behind her, but Shen Cuini and Xiu Gu didn't follow Shen Shuang either, and when they wanted to keep up, Shen Shuang had already disappeared.
However, both of them knew where the little hunter's hut was, so they went straight in the direction of the hut.
Shen Shuang came to the wooden house and saw that the door of the wooden house was closed, and knew that the little hunter was not at home.
She approached the small kitchen set up next to the hut and took out the basket from the basket and placed it on the table next to the kitchen.
The kitchen was cleaned up by the little hunter, and it looked very comfortable, Shen Shuang glanced at the stove that was burning the fire, it was clean, it seemed that the little hunter didn't cook today.
She didn't think much about it, put down the dumplings and walked out, glanced at the fence behind the wooden house, and found that the few brightly colored pheasants raised before had gained a lot of weight, and the little wolf cub saw the 'delicious', became a little excited, and whined at those pheasants, scared the pheasants to jump, she quickly called it away, "Go for nothing, don't frighten other people's pheasants, and you didn't catch them, you can't eat them, remember, otherwise the village people will definitely slaughter you." ”
Shen Shuang was a little worried that the little wolf cub would do bad things, and if he ate the chickens raised by the people in the village, it would be terrible.
The little wolf cub whined aggrievedly, but did not tease the pheasants again.
She came to the little hunter's vegetable garden, and was very envious at first glance, the vegetable seeds and fruits he had planted before were growing very well, this lush patch, coupled with the pheasant behind the house, the stream that meandered in front of the house, she suddenly remembered the picture she had drawn when she was a child, and it was a log cabin, a stream, a fenced vegetable garden, and a fenced chicken......
Regardless of other factors, just looking at the scenery is a paradise.
Shen Cuini and Xiu Gu saw Shen Shuang standing in front of the vegetable garden in a daze from a distance, and the two couldn't help whispering.
"Trini, what is your cousin doing? It seems that Little Orion is not at home, she shouldn't be here to find Little Orion, right? Why don't we go back? ”
Xiu Gu was timid, she felt that stalking others was a bad behavior, but she didn't dare to say it, and now she found that she might have misunderstood Shen Shuang, and she felt even more uncomfortable, so she quickly pulled Shen Cuini's sleeve.
The place where the two of them hid was still far away from Shen Shuang, Shen Cuini knew that the little wolf cub was very weird, and she didn't dare to look forward to the excitement, she was very angry when she heard Xiugu's words, and lowered her voice to scold her.
"Why did you come from so many words, if you quarrel again, you will go back by yourself, I will wait to catch her on the spot and have a private meeting with the little Orion, and then see that my grandmother does not break her legs, and sells her to the poor ditch to be the old man's daughter-in-law."
Shen Cuini is now more and more disgusted with Shen Shuang, take the spring ploughing days as an example, Shen Shuang cooked at home, but she escaped the work of pulling seedlings on the first day, but at the cost of being bitten by leeches, she still had to go to plant seedlings the next day, her hands and feet were black, so she didn't dare to go out for several days, not to mention that she tanned a lot.
Look at Shen Shuang again, not only has she lost weight and is beautiful, but she is not dark at all, she is angry when she thinks about it, she has been trying hard to grab her handle in the past few days, and she is naturally unwilling to go back like this at this time.
When Xiu Gu heard Shen Cuini's words, she didn't dare to move, and honestly hid by her side.
Shen Shuang didn't want to wait for the little hunter to come back, she took a look at the little hunter's small orchard and the vegetable garden that was very well cared for, and began to look for wild vegetables nearby.
In early summer, the weeds at the foot of this mountain are simply crazy growing, and wild vegetables are mixed in them, but it is not easy to dig and pick.
Shen Shuang took a look, as if these wild vegetables were a little old, not as tender as in the previous spring, so she simply gave up picking wild vegetables, she took the little wolf cub forward, and found a plum tree, full of plums, and there were a lot of ripe ones under the tree.
This side is not very far from the little hunter's wooden house, and Shen Shuang guesses that no one should come over to let these plums rot and no one picks them.
Shen Shuang's body was bulky, and she didn't think about climbing the tree, otherwise she would have to fall very badly, she found a long branch nearby, and then hooked the branch full of plums and pressed it down, and began to pick plums.
These wild plums all grow very well, the biggest one is the size of a baby's fist, Shen Shuang rubbed and bit one, and found that it was quite sweet, and the action of picking plums at the moment also accelerated.
Shen Cuini and Xiu Gu crouched in the bushes not far away, watching Shen Shuang eat plums and pick plums at the same time, their faces changed, after all, they wanted to catch the bag but failed.
The two of them hid in this bush, there were a lot of mosquitoes and insects, and the bite made the two of them itch, and they had no choice, so they had to leave first.
Back to the haystack, the purple fruit was not picked, Li Xiuniang called someone to urge, Shen Cuini was also scolded by Li Xiuniang, saying that she was not doing well, but fortunately, she didn't let her go for the sake of the old Shen family's silver, but today she decided to let her embroider lotus flowers be taken back directly, and she didn't plan to cultivate her anymore, and decided to let her go home in two days.
Shen Cuini didn't know that she really couldn't learn to embroider a veil this time, she looked at Xiaoyun who was seriously embroidering a veil, and laughed at her in her heart that she was honest and stupid, no matter how good she embroidered, it was just to make money for Li Xiuniang, and a fool would be so serious.
……
Shen Shuang carried the half-basket of plums to the house, took more than half of them as snacks, and the other half was flattened with wooden tongs and then chopped with the Chaotian peppers she had just picked near the small Orion wooden house, and salted together, as well as a small jar, which she took and added a little sugar to soak in wine, intending to give it to her father.
The small jar of wine she brought back in the town last time has been hidden by the Wan family, her grandfather likes to drink the most, and occasionally has a drink, that small jar of wine is very expensive, usually he drinks rice wine made by people in the village, and Shen Shuang's wine brewed this time is also rice wine.
For the rest of the Chaotian peppers, Shen Shuang pulled a lot of garlic in the vegetable garden and came back, planning to get some garlic sauce, her favorite thing in the past was to dip the dumplings in garlic sauce, but she didn't feel much about vinegar.
She also plans to wait for the tomatoes she grows to grow, and she will get some tomato sauce and french fries along the way.
For the sake of deliciousness, Shen Shuang, who occasionally has quite salted fish, is occasionally full of energy.
Today, the four of Wan's went to the mountain to look for Chaotian peppers, but they searched for most of the mountain for a long time, and they didn't find a few Chaotian pepper trees, although they carried four baskets up the mountain, but the Chaotian peppers picked by the four people added up to not enough for half a basket, Wan's was very angry, and he kept scolding Shen Shuang when he went down the mountain.
"If it weren't for that dead girl, we wouldn't have to be tired for so long and we wouldn't be able to pick a little Chaotian pepper, I think she picked all the Chaotian peppers last time."
"It's okay now, let's work tirelessly, we just picked such a little Chaotian pepper today, how can we sell it for money?"
"I'll clean up that dead girl when I get back...... Let's ......."
Shen Zhuzi walked in front of the road, mainly because he didn't want to listen to his grandmother scolding Shen Shuang all the time, and Xiao Wanshi was even more resentful of Shen Shuang because he was tired today, thinking that she would make herself tired by messing with that Chaotian pepper, anyway, she didn't like spicy food, so she couldn't wait to find the Chaotian pepper, and she didn't have to come all the way to the mountain.
Old man Shen listened to his old wife complaining all day long, and at first he would tell her to shut up, but now he didn't bother to say anything.
When the group arrived at the door, they saw a mule resting under the tree from a distance.
The Chaotian peppers picked were all carried by Shen Zhuzi, so she was not very tired, and at this time she ran to the mule, looked at the mule with glowing eyes, and patted the mule's head with her hands, as if she was looking at the silver, not at a livestock that could pull a cart.
Old man Shen had already seen this mule and mule cart in the morning, and he couldn't help but feel that his eldest granddaughter was really lucky to be able to meet a noble person like Jiang Zitong, but he didn't have the idea of playing this mule and mule cart, he just felt that it would be more convenient to travel home in the future.
He felt that although this mule looked good, the speed of pulling the cart was faster than that of the ox cart, but it was useless, after all, the ox could still plow the field, but this mule could not plow the field.
And Xiao Wanshi on the side couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, she had always felt that Shen Musheng would not be successful in her life, but who knew that his daughter was a powerful lady, and she actually climbed up to Yunlailou, and she got such a mule cart for nothing, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.
Such a good mule cart, if it were to be replaced before, how could it not be the turn of the big house, but now I don't know if it is the turn of feng shui, which makes her heart very congested.
Xiao Wan, who was unbalanced in her heart, couldn't help but want to make something happen, she glanced at her mother-in-law, and said with a smile, "Mother, how much silver are you saying a mule is worth?" At least twenty or thirty taels, right? Big brother and sister-in-law, they are really blessed to have such a mule. ”
Wan nodded, feeling that having a mule in the family would definitely make the other women in the village, especially her concubine Wang, look at him, and immediately said beautifully, "Is this not?" This is a mule, and there is no second person in the village who has it, of course, twenty or thirty taels of silver, but if we go to the town in the future, it will be good to have a mule cart to sit on. ”
Without waiting for Wan's answer, Xiao Wan's walked over to see the mule cart that had not yet been placed, and opened it to take a look, only to find that there was still a soft cushion inside, and his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but reach out and pick up a cushion and touch it gently, only to find that it was soft and comfortable, and the fabric was simply better than the clothes on her body.
Xiao Wan's eyes rolled, and he had an idea, turned his head and stepped forward with a smile on his face and handed the mat to Wan's, "Mother, look, this mat is really beautiful." ”
Wan Shi took the cushion, touched it, felt that it was really good, and said in a rough voice, "It's okay, it's comfortable to sit on." ”
Xiao Wan had her own thoughts, but seeing that Old Man Shen was still there, she didn't make a sound, and as soon as Old Man Shen left, she began to encourage Wan Shi, "Mother, it's a pity that such a good mule cart is put like this." ”
Wan Shi was looking at the mule cart at this time, and when he heard Xiao Wan's words, he felt that she wanted to say something, so he turned his head and squinted at her, "What do you want to say?" ”
Xiao Wanshi was not weak at all, "Mother, I just think that with such a good mule cart, where can we countrymen afford to sit on it?" ”
