Chapter 45: Hanging Out
Although it was a cold winter, there were still people busy in the fields, Yu Qingqing made a fuss and said: "Wow, I didn't expect there to be green seedlings and small green vegetables in it." ”
Yan Hao put a black line on his forehead and said: "Girl, at dinner yesterday, it seems that you have eaten small green vegetables." ”
"yes, why?" Yu Qingqing frowned and asked.
"There are hot springs, which are warmer than anywhere else, so you can grow fruits and vegetables that you can't grow anywhere else in winter." Yan Hagi explained simply. Never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, in books such as "The Complete Book of Nongsang" and "Farm Collection", there are records of how to grow these out-of-season vegetables and fruits.
"Does Spring City have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat all year round?" Yu Qingqing asked.
"Didn't Ruoqin write to you?" Yan Hagi asked with a frown. Jiang Ruoqin is the cousin and niece of the princess of King Rong, more than a year ago, she went to Spring City with her father, and every other month she would send three letters to three friends in the capital, and also sent a letter to Guo Baochan, the daughter of General Guo. The three of Yan Hagi are more relaxed, as long as they write two letters each.
"Yes, she wrote in the letter that there is a kind of morel mushroom, which doesn't look good, but the taste is excellent, cut the black chicken into pieces, put it in a casserole with the mushrooms, add a few red dates to it, boil it over high heat, remove the oil, and then simmer it over low heat, stew it to bring out the flavor, and it is so delicious that it can make people swallow their tongues." Yu Qingqing said and drooled.
"Okay, wipe it quickly, what about this outside, do you still want your ladylike image?" Yan Hagi asked with a playful smile.
Yu Qingqing playfully stuck out her tongue, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the corners of her mouth.
The two of them laughed and walked slowly, when a few little boys ran past them with joy. Yan Hagi asked curiously, "Tuniu, where are they going?" What's going on over there? ”
"There's a little jungle over there, and from time to time some small animals come in from the back mountains, and they hunt with slingshots." Tu Niu explained.
"Can you hit your prey with a slingshot?" Yan Hagi asked.
"I can hit it, my eldest brother hit a rabbit yesterday morning, fat, and the fried rabbit that the ladies ate yesterday is the rabbit that my eldest brother hit." The earth girl is proud.
Yu Qingqing's eyes lit up, "Let's go over and take a look." ”
Under the leadership of Tuniu, everyone went to the small dense forest behind Zhuangzi, and saw that there was a large group of half-grown boys, each with a slingshot, running back and forth in the dense forest, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Pheasant, there is pheasant." ”
"What a fat pheasant, fence it off, don't let it run away."
"Dysentery, pay attention, the pheasant is going to your side."
"I'm not called Dysentery, I'm called Wanxi."
"Don't be verbose, hurry up and stop the chicken, don't let it run."
"Don't worry, I have it...... Ahh ”
"It's so lively, it's so funny." Yu Qingqing rolled up her sleeves and was eager to try.
Yan Hagi grabbed her arm, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Let's catch pheasants." Yu Qingqing's eyes lit up, she was also an active person, but because she was selected as a waiter, she was forced to pretend to be a lady for so long, she was really suffocated.
"You don't have a slingshot, what pheasant are you catching? Don't mess around. Yan Hagi persuaded. The maidservant of the Yu family looked at Yan Hagi gratefully, hoping that Miss Yan could stop Miss and not let Miss do things that did not conform to her identity.
"I'm not going to make a mess, I'm in good hands." Yu Qingqing is not self-aware at all. 、
"Pheasants are different from domestic chickens, they can fly, and they fly very high, if you are not careful, they fly to your head, scratch your face, and ruin your appearance, when the time comes, don't cry." Yan Hagi scared her.
Yu Qingqing touched her face, "I won't be so unlucky, right?" ”
"No one believes they will be unlucky until they are unlucky." Yan Hagi rolled his eyelids and said. At this time, the pheasant was surrounded by the group of boys, and there was no way to escape, and it flew up and landed on the head of a boy, and when the chicken's paws hooked, the boy's hair was messy.
Yan Hagi raised his eyebrows, "See." ”
Yu Qingqing swallowed her saliva in fear and said, "But just looking at it like this, it's too boring not to catch it." ”
Yan Hagi glanced at her and said, "Think about what Heyi is doing, and you can be content." ”
"That's it." Yu Qingqing was persuaded, and didn't insist on catching pheasants anymore, and stood on the edge of the forest with Yan Hao, watching those boys catch pheasants and hunt rabbits.
In the next few days, in the morning, the county lord of Heyi followed Lu Xiuqun to learn tea art, and Yan Hao and Yu Qingqing wandered around Zhuangzi; In the afternoon, the four of them gathered together to soak in the hot springs, fight flower cards, and play the free map. Lu Xiuqun accused them from time to time of not behaving in line with everyone's girlfriends, which caused the three of them a deep headache. In a blink of an eye, it was the twentieth day of the lunar month, the seventh birthday of the county lord of Heyi.
"Today is my birthday, I want to rest, I want to play, I don't want to learn tea art." The county lord of Heyi crossed his fat waist and said confidently.
Lu Xiuqun hesitated for a moment and said, "The county lord will rest for a day." In her opinion, although Yan Hagi and Yu Qingqing have good backgrounds, they don't have the temperament of a lady, these days they have been mixing with those village girls, doing some unorthodox things, and they are becoming more and more rustic, she doesn't even want to talk to them.
"My birthday gift, hand it over quickly." The county lord of Heyi reached out to Yan Hao and Yu Qingqing to ask for gifts.
Yan Hagi handed the big red satin brocade box in his hand to the county lord of Heyi, "The picture I drew with my own hands and let the craftsman burn it out is unique, it's sincere enough, right?" ”
"What is it?" The county lord of Heyi opened the brocade box, which contained a cute porcelain pig, "What a cute little pig, Xiaoxiao, I like it very much." ”
"If you like it." Yan Hagi smiled.
"Look at my gifts." Yu Qingqing handed her a long brocade box.
"You can't be clairvoyant, right?" The county lord of Heyi speculated.
"It's not that I don't know that you have clairvoyance, what do I have to give you a clairvoyant, but this thing, the appearance is similar to that of clairvoyance, and it is also used to see." Yu Qingqing said with a smile.
Yan Hagi heard her say this, and probably guessed what it was, and sure enough, when the county lord of Heyi opened it, it was really a kaleidoscope. Yu Qingqing taught the county lord of Heyi what to think, which caused the county lord of Heyi to cheer, "This thing is so magical, it can be conjured into many kinds, and it is more fun than clairvoyance." ”
The county lord of Heyi played with it for a while, and handed it to Yan Hagi very generously, "Xiaoxiao, you can also take a look." ”
Yan Hagi took the kaleidoscope, looked at it for a while, handed it back to the county lord of Heyi, and said, "The colorful ones are really beautiful." ”
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, although my uncle brought five, there was only one assigned to me." Yu Qingqing said guiltily.
"It's okay, if I want to play, I'll find a suitable one." Yan Hagi smiled.
Lord Heyi smiled: "If you want to play, you can ask me." ”
"County Lord, this is my gift to you." Lu Xiuqun also handed the county lord of Heyi a brocade box.
"Thank you, cousin." The county lord of Heyi took the brocade box and opened it, and inside was a piece of gold silk and jade pendant. In terms of price, Lu Xiuqun's gift is valuable. But the county lord of Heyi really doesn't lack these gold ornaments and jade pendants, she prefers the little pig that Yan Hagi gave her and the kaleidoscope that Yu Qingqing gave her. It represents their heart's desire, not looking for a suitable object from the storeroom.
